1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: Live from dall Hertband and the Crossroads of America. It's 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: Tony Katz today, Yes it is, and welcome to Tony 3 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: Katz today. I am Mike Coolidge in for Tony on 4 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: this second day of twenty twenty six. That's right, we're 5 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: in the second half officially of this decade of the twenties. Yeah, 6 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: congratulations for making it this far. And we have a 7 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: lot to get into this hour if you join us. 8 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: In the first hour, we talked a little bit about collectivism. 9 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: Why are we talking about collectivism? Well, the mayor of 10 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the biggest city in the country, this thirty mid thirty 11 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: something year old named Mendani, really really open about his 12 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: Marxism and his socialism, and when you really boil down 13 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: the entire philosophy of the left, it does come down 14 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: to one word, and it is collectivism, the collective versus 15 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: the individual. Many years ago, I was asked I used 16 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: to go in to our local high school in Rochelle, 17 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: Illinois and give a little speech to a government class 18 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: about the role of the media in government and also 19 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: the big difference between Republicans and Democrats. Now, I'm a obvious, 20 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, conservative, and I've been a Republican my entire life. 21 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: I have problems with some of the things that Republican 22 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: Party actually you know, does on a national level and 23 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: even in our state. And I've obvious problems with individual 24 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: Republican politicians on occasion. But I am and have been 25 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: my entire adult life a Republican. And the difference, especially 26 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: among those that aren't super political, bec a Republican and 27 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: Democrat isn't often explained well, certainly not explained in high 28 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: school government classes, which is why this great teacher knew 29 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: and listened to my show on occasion he said, hey, 30 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: can you come in and just explain. I know you're Republican. 31 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: I know you're you know, really INVOLVABCCL. I'm the chairman 32 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,959 Speaker 1: of our local Republican party in our county. But I'll 33 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: try to, in a really objective way explain it because 34 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: obviously in high school there's a lot of leftist teachers, 35 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: and some of them are probably Marxists. But you know, 36 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: just if you want to be invited back, I got 37 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: to be sort of objective, right. It was really honored 38 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 1: that he would ask me to come in. Anyway, Here's 39 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: here's how I explained it to kids. Most generic way 40 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: possible as far as the United States goes and how 41 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: or government operates. Let's really generalize it here. We talked, 42 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, if you have been listening to the show 43 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: since the beginning, we talked about the origins of our 44 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: society in early settlers here in the United States from 45 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: Great Britain, who had a difference between the first couple 46 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: of years. They tried a collectivist mindset where everyone went 47 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: out and tilled their own land and farmed their own land, 48 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: and brought all the crops and food into the center 49 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: of town. And so it was from each according to 50 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: their abilities and to everyone according to their needs. Anyone 51 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: can come in and take as much as they wanted. 52 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: That didn't work because over time people realized that hard work, 53 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: they had no incentive to work hard, and those who 54 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: didn't work at all realized they would get food whether 55 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: they worked or not. And everyone eventually starved because nobody worked. 56 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: Because they figured that out, it's just a natural progression 57 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: and logic of things. And then when they said, look, everyone, 58 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: you do your own thing, you eat whatever, you take 59 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: care of yourself first, and see let's see how that works. 60 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: That worked brilliantly. Everyone thrived and we're able to expand. 61 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: So that's a basic you know, uh story from history Russia. 62 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: NBA told it on his show for years during the 63 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving holiday. Now really metaphorically speaking here about the government 64 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: in your state capital and the big giant government in Washington, 65 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: d C. What I would tell the kids is everyone 66 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: out in society, your parents, and hopefully you soon will 67 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: be earning a living. What does that mean. You're out 68 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 1: exchanging your labor for money, and with that money, you 69 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: hopefully are able to afford putting a roof over your head, 70 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: hopefully are able to afford feeding yourself. And then hopefully 71 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: you will find a woman or a man and marry them, 72 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: and you will have children and create a family, and 73 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: you will over time make more money in exchange for 74 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: your labor. Or you'll realize you want to start your 75 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: own business or small business or work for another business. 76 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: Or. 77 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: Maybe you are somebody really ambitious and want to completely 78 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: start an idea in a business from scratch, borrow money 79 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: from someone else, or just do it all yourself, bootstrap 80 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: it and you know, create something, sell it, expand it 81 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: over time, hire people to you know, that whole thing. 82 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: Not to get too much in the weeds on that. 83 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: But that's after time you'll discover that this government in 84 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: your state capital and this government in Washington, d C. 85 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: Is going to take a big chunk of that money. 86 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 1: All right. So let's say you make just to be 87 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 1: to make the math easy, let's say you make one 88 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars a year. You're able to make one 89 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, about thirty of that A big chunk 90 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: of that approximately will go to the two places I mentioned, 91 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 1: the state capitol and the nation's capital in Washington, d C. 92 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: Republicans for the most part want less of your money 93 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: to go to those state capitals and the nation's capital, 94 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: and Democrats for the most part want more of it 95 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: to go there. That's the real big difference between Democrats 96 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: and Republics. I shouldn't even said thirty percent, just like 97 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: a percentage wise, if you really boil it down, Democrats 98 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: believe that more money should come from the population and 99 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: go into the big pot, very similar to the story 100 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving and the pot in the middle of the 101 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: community with the farms. And Republicans in general want less 102 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: of the money you work for, the things you create, 103 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: the things you produce, they want you to keep more 104 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: of it and less of it goes to the government. 105 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: That's the real big difference. And yeah, there's some people 106 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: who say, oh, Republicans and Democrats, it's just two sides 107 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: of the same coin. They kind of believe the same things. 108 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: That's not true. Yes, some Republicans get corrupted and are 109 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: for big government programs and for the expansion of government 110 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: and the expansion of spending and stuff. Those are what's 111 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: called Republicans in name only. And then there are Democrats. 112 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: These don't exist anymore, but there used to be Democrats 113 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: who were pro family, pro life, but still believe that 114 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: the government should get more and should slowly expand not contract. 115 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: And we call those conservative Democrats. But all Democrats believe 116 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: in you know, big government, larger government, the government should 117 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: have more power than less power. That's really the big 118 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: difference between the Democrats and the Republicans. Now, I mean, 119 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: and yes, you can get into family structure and you know, 120 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: cultural issues and you know conservatism versus liberalism and all that, 121 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: but really that's the big difference. Collectivists and individualists, Republicans, Democrats, republicans, 122 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: smaller government, democrats bigger government. Really over simplifying, I know, 123 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 1: but that's what it is now. What happens when Republicans 124 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: aren't doing their job paying attention to the Democrats who 125 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: are constantly looking to expand the government. And obviously it's 126 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: not just the states, the state capitals we're talking about 127 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: in our nation's capital. We have things called counties and 128 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: things called in Illinois, we have townships, and then we 129 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: have cities. And they like to take some of your 130 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: money too, And yes, there are things that only the 131 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: government can do that as a collective they provide nation. 132 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: The biggest thing in the nation that their national government 133 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: provides is protection via the military, right. And then there 134 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: are some ideas that they come up with over the years. 135 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: You know, these cars are invented, we got to find 136 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: a way for people to transport themselves in between the 137 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: states with these new cars have but we come up 138 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: with a federal highway system that makes that really easy. Yeah, great, okay, 139 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: And then people come up regionally, we're like, well, should 140 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: people just teach their own kids in their own homes 141 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: or should you know, we have a thing in the 142 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: middle of town where they get together and adults teach 143 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: kids about you know, reading, writing, and arithmetic and all that. Sure, 144 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: that's probably not a profitable thing, so let's have the 145 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: government do that. Fine, and then there's a bunch of 146 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: other things. Obviously that some not a bunch of ums. 147 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: But you know, again, the leftists think more things should 148 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: be done by the collective, and Republicans think less things 149 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: should be done by the collective. And because the more 150 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: you concentrate power among those who are collecting that money 151 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: from the people and putting it into the big bucket 152 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: in the city or in the county, or in the 153 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: state capitol or in the nation's capital, they of course 154 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: they need to be paid too, right, They're not gonna 155 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 1: collect that money for free. They want to be compensated 156 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: for that. And then over time, because they want to 157 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: expand the government, they start, hmm, we kind of like 158 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: this thing. We don't have to We're not the ones 159 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: who are working. We're not the ones who are out 160 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: creating wealth, creating and generating income and expanding for profit businesses. 161 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: We are the ones just you know, moving the money 162 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: from the state capitals and from the federal capitals and 163 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: from the city governments and all that, and spending on 164 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: the things that the collective needs to pay for right. 165 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: But we're going to get paid either way. So let's 166 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: do more things. Let's do more government programs, Let's expand them, 167 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: and we'll tell the people who reelect, the people who 168 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: are in charge of all of this, that we're the 169 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: ones who are looking out for everyone. We're the ones 170 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: who are the good people. We're the ones. This is 171 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: democrats speaking, of course, we're the ones who make sure 172 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: that nobody is starving. We're taking from those evil rich 173 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: people and we're giving it to the poor people to 174 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: make sure that they are okay. What happens over time 175 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: is those people who I just mentioned, democrats who are 176 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: in charge of the government programs, who are taking the 177 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: money and redistributing it to the rest of society. Those 178 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: salaries that they collect, that money that they get, just 179 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: keeps going up and up and up. No one really 180 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: is paying attention to it, and people start to complain, 181 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: Wait a second, you're taking a little bit more money 182 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 1: than me from me than you should. And the collectivists say, oh, no, no, no, no, 183 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: don't worry. We are looking out for you, trust me, 184 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: and we're going to even expand these programs so long 185 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: as the people who are benefiting from these programs, keep 186 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: voting for us and putting us into power, and then 187 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: fast forward over time to twenty twenty five. Now we're 188 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, and we have these insane programs, 189 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: legal programs that only benefit the people who are running 190 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: the programs and those some of those receiving it. Talking 191 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 1: about Yeah, a lot of this Somali daycare fraud stuff. 192 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: We've talked about it at length before, but there are 193 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: some new developments in it which we're going to get to. 194 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: On the other side of the break. This is Tony 195 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: Kats today. I am my Coolidge in for Tony. Stay 196 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: with us. We are back on Tony Katz today. I 197 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 1: am like Coolidge in for Tony koo L I d 198 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: G E is my Twitter. I'm sorry, X handle, I 199 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: can't believe I said that old, outdated term. X. I'm 200 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: on x AT k O O L I d g E. 201 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: Follow me there. I may follow you back. This thing 202 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: popped up on X from the VBC. The British are 203 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: always the best at comedy and explaining things. This is 204 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: from like forty years ago, and it explained this this 205 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: way that things eventually lead to when you think of 206 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: things in a collectivist way, and you're just creating and 207 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: expanding programs or institutions just for the sake of expanding them. 208 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: And the setup is it's a hospital administrator and hopefully 209 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: you can I mean it's this is English, but they 210 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: have British accents. It's a hospital administrator explaining why they 211 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: need more money from the government. And the second guy 212 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: is asking why you have the need to get more 213 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: money if you don't have any patients at this hospital. 214 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 3: It's important work, minister, the typing, full stationary disks, office, 215 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: furniture and equipment, liaison between departments with the obig series 216 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: or not. What do you mean there are no patients? 217 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: This is what a hospital is for, you know, people 218 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: heaving the sick. 219 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 3: All these vital tasks that I have just listed must 220 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: be carried out with or without patients. 221 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:28,479 Speaker 1: Why why why. 222 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 3: I don't understand how I. 223 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: Can express it. 224 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: Why what would you get rid of the army just 225 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: because there was no war? 226 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: That is completely different. 227 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 3: The hospital must produce results. We don't measure our success 228 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 3: by results, but by activity in the activity is considerable 229 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: and productive. Those five hundred people are seriously overworked. Of course, 230 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: the full establishment should be six hundred and fifty. 231 00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Simple. We don't measure our success by results, but by activity, 232 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: and the activity has been considerable. Talking about a hospital 233 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: with no patience, well, I mean they need more money 234 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: because the liaisons between departments and the jobs of the people. 235 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: G see how the parallels here, that the parallels exist 236 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: between this and like, I don't know the Somali daycare centers, 237 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: these hundreds of daycare centers in Minneapolis that had get 238 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: all this government money, tens of millions of dollars, but 239 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: they don't have any kids or they have like a 240 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: handful of kids at them. That's how this gets. And 241 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: by the way, this so far, if you don't see 242 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: people being handcuffed and thrown in jail over the Somali stuff, 243 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: you might not see it. There's a number of reasons, 244 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: but the biggest one might be because a lot of 245 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: this stuff is legal. They're doing it because they can, 246 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: They're doing it because this is how it was set up. 247 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: There's this this video that somebody posted online and I again, 248 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: it makes this point. I'm not going to pretend that 249 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: and I did grock this and said is this true? 250 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: But I wanted to make sure that you know the 251 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: setup that the way that they describe this is accurate, 252 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: and it turns out it is. The amount of money 253 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: that they're talking about is is question. But I'll set 254 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: it up now and then because we've got a heartbreak coming, AMPERI, 255 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: I'll explain it on the other side of the break. 256 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: But the gist of it is that in the state 257 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: of Washington, for example, and this might be the case 258 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: in Illinois too, you can get money from the government 259 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: if you do a home daycare system and you get 260 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: paid by the child. So what you can do, and 261 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: what people do is, let's say you have four children, 262 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: your mom of four children, and your sister lives next 263 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: door and has four children as well. All right, so 264 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 1: all the kids are cousins. So what you do is 265 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: you say you're running a home daycare and you're watching 266 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 1: your sisters kids because they're not your kids. Legally, you're 267 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: allowed to do that, and you get paid by the 268 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: government for running a home daycare center for your four 269 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: sisters kids. And what does she do. She signs up 270 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: for daycare home daycare for your sister's kids. So she's 271 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: quote unquote watching your kids and you're quote unquote watching 272 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: her kids and you're all getting paid anywhere from five 273 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: dollars an hour to twenty five dollars an hour per 274 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: kid by the government. And then added to that is 275 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: that income. You're considered a small business, so you get 276 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: to deduct all of the expenses for taking care of 277 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: those kids, all government money for you just existing and. 278 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: Being a mom, all legal, all a complete bastardization of 279 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 2: the reason a government program like that should exist. 280 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: We'll right back on Tony Kats today. I am Mike 281 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: Coolidge in for Tony. Stay with us. We're back on today, 282 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: My Coolidge in for Tone and Man. What happens when 283 00:19:53,040 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: a fraudulent, corrupt, really messed up program comes to People 284 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: discover it and are outraged about it. What happens in 285 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: a normal, rational society. The perpetrators of this program, the 286 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: designers of it, the people who benefit from it, are 287 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: all publicly shamed. If they didn't break any laws, they're 288 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: just publicly shamed, and you know, the grift ends, the 289 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: program ends. But if they're doing something illegal, they go 290 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: to jail. And this sort of thing is discouraged from 291 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: happening again because the whole rest of society gets to 292 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: see what happens when people take advantage of a system 293 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: and the negative consequences to that, or they break the 294 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: law and they see the negative consequences to that. Right 295 00:20:54,840 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: in the extreme ways that they did this in ah know, 296 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 1: centuries past. I'm not advocating this at all, but I'm 297 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: just saying the reason that there were public stocks in 298 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: the middle of town sometimes or you know, uncivilized crazy 299 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 1: societies would you know, chop people's hands off if they 300 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:27,959 Speaker 1: stole something, was to disincentivize thieves, right and publicly humiliate people, 301 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: you know, the stock. Compared to chopping your hand off, 302 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: which is obviously you know, wrong, and you should that's 303 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: not something that anyone should advocate forever. But compared to 304 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: chopping your hands off being put in the stocks for 305 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: twenty four hours, you know where your head and your 306 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: hands are just sitting in there, and people can throw 307 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,479 Speaker 1: tomatoes and stuff at you, that's a lot better, right 308 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: because at the end you're just humiliated and you get 309 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: to go back to your life. You don't have your 310 00:21:54,080 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: hands chopped off. But fast forward to civilized society, there's 311 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: ways to disincentivize people from doing wrong. You admonish them publicly. 312 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: They get embarrassed because their pictures on the front page 313 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: of a newspaper or something, or if they again broke 314 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: the law, they go through a trial, they get convicted, 315 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: hopefully if the justice system works properly, and they go 316 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: to jail, and people know about that too. And then 317 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: people who are considering doing fraud or taking tens of thousands, 318 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: if not millions of dollars from the federal government in 319 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: an unethical way, who are on the fence about it, 320 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: I can, maybe I might do that. They don't do 321 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: it because they don't want to face the consequences. But 322 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: what happens, and this is happening throughout our country right now, 323 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: when what I just described does not happen. Instead, when 324 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: a big fraudulent scheme is brought to light like this 325 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: Somali daycare stuff in Minnesota, instead of what I just mentioned, 326 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, negative consequences for this. People excuse it, people 327 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: defend it, people attack the people bringing it to light. 328 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: That's what's happening now with the whole Nick Shirley videos. Yes, yes, yes, 329 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: the reading here from X David Sachs. The legacy media 330 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: no longer sees it as their responsibility to bring transparency 331 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: and accountability to the government. You know, stuff like Watergate, 332 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: depending on papers. These heroes of journalism years past government 333 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: doing bad things and let's bring light no Rather as 334 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 1: loyal members of the Democrat Party, they deflect attention and 335 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: punish critics so their fellow party members can loot and 336 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: plunder the American people. He reposts a guy ag Hamilton. 337 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: It appears much of the press is very confused. Nick 338 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: Shirley makes a viral video highlighting the real concern of 339 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: massive fraud in Minnesota. They should be investigating the fraud, 340 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: not the person who made the video. The CNN reporter 341 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: a headline is Grill's YouTuber whose Minnesota daycare video went viral. 342 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: The other headline, what to know about Nick Shirley, the 343 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 1: YouTuber alleging daycare fraud in Minnesota. That's from NDR and 344 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: the Intercept headline. Right wing YouTuber YouTuber behind viral Minnesota 345 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: fraud has long anti immigrant history before alleging fraud in Minnesota. 346 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: Samala Community. Right wing YouTuber Nick shit built the following 347 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: with anti immigration clips. They're attacking the guy and then 348 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: get a load of this woman. This is as Baroka 349 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: Gatto posts it on x Breathtaking. Listen to her commentsary, 350 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: this is some Democrat operative in Minnesota talking about this 351 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: whole scandal. 352 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 4: About how we really got here our president, So let's 353 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 4: be honest about how we really got here. Our president 354 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 4: decided he doesn't like the Somali community and he wants 355 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 4: to destroy them. 356 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: It's President Trump's fault. 357 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 4: Speaker to mouth and the p Caucus send a YouTuber 358 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 4: out to create the narrative they want out there, not 359 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 4: the truth what they want you to believe. The childcare 360 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: system in Minnesota is very complicated, even for those of 361 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 4: us who have worked in it for decades. So I 362 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 4: can understand that it is easy to believe what you 363 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 4: see on social media. But the truth is that Minnesota 364 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 4: has guardrails in place to make defrauding the childcare system 365 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 4: extremely difficult. Minnesota does investigate suspected fraud in childcare and 366 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 4: hold people accountable, and they will continue to do so 367 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 4: because fraud is never acceptable. But cutting off childcare funding 368 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 4: to everyone in the state is not the answer, and 369 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 4: it's not acceptable. 370 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: Yes, so as yeah, let's be honest. As Baroco Gado 371 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,959 Speaker 1: on X points out, this is brecktading breathtaking, which he's 372 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: essentially saying, is there is no meaningful fraud happening in 373 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota daycare. It's all a gop psyop, a psychological operation 374 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: because they are racist. Imagine what it takes to inhabit 375 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: that world. It's an astonishing level of reality denial. I 376 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: honestly cannot tell if this is just a pure I 377 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: want my money, so you need to let them steal 378 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 1: men audacity in self service of self interest, or if 379 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: it's full blown cognitive dissonance COPE suicidal empathetization, the suicidal 380 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: empathy thing causing actual perceptive fracture, where a brain wiped 381 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: mind protects its illusions by making up fabulous narratives. But 382 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: in the end it's kind of irrelevant what she's whether 383 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: she is lying to herself or to us, does not matter. 384 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: Only the fact of the lie does. These are the 385 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 1: people who will, with desperate avidity, accuse you of quote misinformation, 386 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: and as you can see, the last thing in the 387 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: world that anyone should want is to silence them. What 388 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 1: this poster on exis saying is give them the woman 389 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 1: like this, give them a soapbox, give them the megaphone, 390 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: let them speak, make sure that everyone hears them, and 391 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: take good notes. Honestly, The most different part of convincing 392 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: the center of the magnitude of the problem here and 393 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: the depth of the rot is getting them to believe 394 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 1: just how far gone and outright bonkers these activists quote 395 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: unquote are, how divorced from reality, how barking mad they are. 396 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: It seems impossible, like some sort of overblown pastiche until 397 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: you actually hear it firsthand. I'm sure many of you 398 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 1: have had this experience. You try to explain this to someone, 399 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, this whole medicare or I'm sorry, this medicare 400 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: fraud things a whole separate thing that's real, but the 401 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: whole childcare fraud thing. You try to explain it, and 402 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: then they push back with no way, that's ridiculous. No 403 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: one is actually like that. No one says that, you know, 404 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: you know, people defending this. Then you show them a 405 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: clip like we just played from this woman and they say, 406 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: damn wow, huh, and mind's change. People realize where we are. 407 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: This is why social media and the age of primary 408 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: source material is so powerful. It takes us past hearsay 409 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: and into evidence. There's no possible way to indict these 410 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: people and their smug, diluted ideas and hallucinatory worldview that 411 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: would exceed the efficacy of their own words, and they 412 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: have no idea that they are doing it. They literally 413 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: cannot help themselves. The cure for stupid speech like this 414 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: woman is more listeners. So let them speak, Encourage them 415 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: to speak loudly and often. Some you the art of perr. 416 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: This guy's like a cat guy. When your enemy is 417 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: engaging in self clown, provide face paint. I love that quote. 418 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: Another way to say, sunlight is the best disinfectant. It 419 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: is again the theme of the show today, the big 420 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: differences between the left and the right. The left always 421 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: wants to silence people on the right through censorship, through 422 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: deep platforming, through ostracization. To all of that, those of 423 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: us on the right, we don't want to silence anyone 424 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: on the left because we're confident in our philosophies and 425 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: our ideas and what we believe. We say everyone should speak. 426 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: Let you all show the world absolutely insane. You are leftists. 427 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: We'll be right back on Tony Kats today. I am 428 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: Mike cool which in for Tony stay with us. We 429 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 1: are back on Tony Katz today. I am Mike Coolidge. 430 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: It is today January Teco twenty twenty six, my name 431 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: is still spelled with AK find me on x at 432 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: koo l I d g E, and Tony Katz is 433 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: still with the K two in twenty twenty six t 434 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: O n y kat zero and today at least today 435 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: it's spelled t O DA. Why for the break we 436 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: were talking about actually this entire show, really, we've been 437 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: talking about the difference between the left and the right, 438 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: and the difference between collectivism and individualism or capitalism, or 439 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, the difference between socialism, Marxism, communism and conservatism, liberalism, conservatism, 440 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: republican democrat, left right. There's various ways you can say it, 441 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 1: but one of the big differences we've been listing them 442 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: as the show has developed is the left always, almost 443 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 1: always wants to squash the right of center viewpoint from 444 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: being expressed. The right of center viewpoint has no problem 445 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: with the leftist center viewpoint being expressed. We should just 446 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: let the left speak. Sunlight is the best, in fact disinfectant. 447 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: I love that Zorroon Mundani embraced collectivism and bashed rugg 448 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: did individualism in his inauguration address for Mayor of New 449 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 1: York yesterday because as Tom Bevan from Real Politics point out, 450 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, rugged individualism, what built the United States of 451 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: America for crying out loud, yes, attack that. I want 452 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 1: to and we all should want to hear more from 453 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: leftists like AOC and Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris, although 454 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: she's not at the intellectual level of the other people 455 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: I mentioned Barack Obama and who else leftists? The leftists 456 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: out there, Oh, Gavin Newsom, he's as slick as a snake. 457 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: All of these leftists. I want them to explain their 458 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: philosophies because so many of the crafty ones over the 459 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: years have not been explaining their philosophies. They only say 460 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: the kind of you know, stuff that polls well and 461 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: sells well. But they don't dare delve into the or 462 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: they used to not anyway, dare into saying and normalizing 463 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: words like socialism, uh or collectivism. 464 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 2: Right. 465 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: But now it's out there. Zaron Mundani, he said it, 466 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 1: and man, oh man, uh is it great seeing the 467 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,479 Speaker 1: discussion about this. It's all over the place. I love it. 468 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: What this kind of collectivism and big government stuff eventually 469 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: leads to is some of the terrible, terrible programs like 470 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: what's been the news story of the past week. And 471 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: it continues this you know, Somali daycare fraud thing, and 472 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: how the left is covering this and talking about it 473 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: is so so revealing, Drew Holden in the many Drew 474 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: Holden points out on x the Star Tribune, which is 475 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:07,440 Speaker 1: a formerly respected newspaper in Minnesota, went to ten childcare centers. Okay, 476 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,239 Speaker 1: that the same ten ones that Nick Shirley went and 477 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: brought his video camera to and tried to interview people 478 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: there and tried to enroll his own kid in. I 479 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: don't even know if he has a kid, But that 480 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: wasn't the point. He was trying to say, Hey, I 481 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: want to give me the paperwork to fill it out 482 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: for this program? What do I need to do? And what? No, 483 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: you can't do this? What do you mean you can't 484 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: do this? Are you not a public child care facility? 485 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: They found again the Minneapolis Star Tribune not a conservative 486 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:44,600 Speaker 1: bastion publication. Get so many of all ten childcare centers 487 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,759 Speaker 1: they had shown that kids were in them, four of them, 488 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: four out of the ten even have any kids registered whatsoever. 489 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: And this was days of advanced warning that people were 490 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: becoming skeptical skeptical of the operations. We went to daycares, 491 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,760 Speaker 1: to the daycares that Nick Shirley did. Here's what we found. 492 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: Some of the ten daycares in the YouTube content creator 493 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: blasted for having no children, invited reporters into see for themselves. 494 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: The Minnesota starts in response to the claims that the 495 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,240 Speaker 1: Somali Daycares to defront of the state by one hundred 496 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: and eleven million dollars. State officials visited all ten of 497 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: the facilities. The Minnesota's char Tribune found children inside four 498 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: of them. When invited inside, six of the facilities were 499 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: either closed or employees did not open the doors four 500 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,279 Speaker 1: of them. Good job journalists. What are we to make 501 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: of that? We're at back on twenty guys today, Stay 502 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: with us.
