Speaker 2: Hello? I said fantastic? Sorry about that?

10
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: There you are?

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: So? How are you?

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm good? I'm good. So where do we even start?

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 1: How about here in New York City Council, they're talking

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: about doubling the minimum wage to thirty dollars an hour. Now,

15
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: whenever this is done, every single time everywhere, as soon

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: as you do that, a lot of people get fired

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: because businesses can't afford to have that many people getting

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: that much, and the businesses closed, they leave, New businesses

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: don't come. How come democrats can't figure this out after

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: it's been proven a million times?

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: I know, I was just thinking that yet another business

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: is I think I just read on Twitter Starbucks and

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: Howard Schultz moving out of Washington State because they've just

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: imposed an income tax and he's moving the headquarters Starbucks

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: to Nashville. He himself is moving to Florida. Who's going

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: to be left in these blue states? It's going to

27
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: be all welfare recipients, which is why we need to

28
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: be very careful about who whom we elect nationally, because

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: the only way you can pay all the welfare recipients

30
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: unless you have people earning money, working productive of earning

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: money in your state, is to have the federal government

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: redistribute it from the healthy, economically healthy states to the

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: welfare states, i e. Red states to the blue states.

34
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 2: You know, this comes up all the time. And one

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: thing I think people the minimum wage. One thing I

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: think people aren't aren't considering about it because whatever the

37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: minimum wage is at the moment, raising it bit by

38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: bit incrementally doesn't quite reveal although yes, jobs are lost,

39
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: but just how damaging it is. Without a minimum wage,

40
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: and a minimum wage at all, there would be all

41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: sorts of jobs that don't even exist now because, as

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: you say, it's not worth paying for certain jobs to

43
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: be done. And you know, we're devincots always talk about

44
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: you know you can't you can't support a family of

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: four on this Okay, that's not what the minimum wage

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: is for. It's for people, you know, teenagers, it's for

47
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: kids maybe, or maybe people who are getting out of

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: mental health institutions or prisons, or or or disabled. In

49
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: some ways, it's people entering the work for us most

50
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: of the time, and that's very important. It sounds silly

51
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: to someone who's had people who had jobs their entire lives,

52
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: but learning to wake up to an alarm clock and

53
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: get yourself to a place of employment is a life

54
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: skill that the minimum wage allows people to learn. Whenever

55
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: this would come up in the Senate when I was

56
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: working there, I always wanted my boss to introduce an

57
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: amendment instead demanding that the minimum wage be one hundred

58
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year. And you know what would the

59
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: Democrats argument against that be, Well, everything you and I

60
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: are saying it just it just makes it a little

61
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 2: more obvious.

62
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's the same thing with taxes. You know,

63
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: if you just were a common sense person looked around

64
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: and say, these states with no taxes, no state tax

65
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: are booming. Every business moves there, everybody moves there. How

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: hard is that to figure out for Democrats?

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: I know, I know, and I talked to Democrats about this,

68
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: and I guess part of the problem is the transition period,

69
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: because they do have all these obligations to the public

70
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: sector union. The states, especially the Blue states, but all

71
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: the states could use their own DOGE program to come

72
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: in and get rid of all these worthless government employees

73
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: just fucking up taxpayer money doing jobs we don't want

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: done and being unfireable. They could really reduce the number

75
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 2: of public sector employees. And you know, the new income

76
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: coming in hasn't begun yet, whether it's from property taxes

77
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: or tourism or just more businesses moving in. So it's

78
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: always the transition problem, which is why you should never

79
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: raise taxes in the first place.

80
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Warren Iran has got the Democrats. They can't

81
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: come up with the narrative. They're trying to say, no

82
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: more endless wars. Can you really say endless? It's day twelve.

83
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call that endless, would you.

84
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 2: Well, i'd call it a pointless war. But I will

85
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: say I agree with you. I would like the Democrats

86
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: to be more of a loyal opposition party. And no,

87
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 2: I don't think they're making the right arguments. But surprisingly enough,

88
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: you know, for the first time agree with him, but Hugrews,

89
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan, Andrew Schultz, I think this is this is

90
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,119
Speaker 2: not going over well with the MAGA base.

91
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: Well, but wait till it's done. It's a good thing

92
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: to get rid of the Aatola. It's a good thing

93
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: to liberate Iran, isn't it.

94
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good thing to take our

95
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 2: attention off our own country. I mean, as I was

96
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: thinking of any comment about this, I haven't yet. But

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: I was a huge supporter of obviously both Afghanistan, though

98
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: I must always add the footnote didn't want to stay

99
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: there for twenty years and paint George Floyd murals. But

100
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: things were very different back then. We had just been

101
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 2: attacked on nine to eleven. And I will quickly add

102
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: in response to liberals saying a rock didn't attack us

103
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 2: on nine to eleven. Yeah, okay, now there's a Afghanistan.

104
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: It was al Qaeda. It was Osama bin Laden, who

105
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: was not an Afghani. He just happened to move his

106
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 2: wandering tints and set up the flagpole in Afghanistan. Certainly

107
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: there was no worse dictator than Saddam and his comely

108
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: sons torturing their own people, gassing his own people, gassing

109
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: the kuwaitis two hundred thousand killed by him. There were

110
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: plenty of reasons to attack Saddam Hussein, but at the

111
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: same time or and at the same time, the country

112
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 2: wasn't in nearly as much trouble our country, that is

113
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: to say, as it is now. We just went through

114
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: four years of the Biden administration, I won't say Joe Biden.

115
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: So you had no idea what was going on. You're

116
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: hauling in multiple millions of poverty stricken, non English speaking criminals,

117
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: and we've already had thirty million of stump. That's on

118
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: top of the thirty or forty million illegals we already had.

119
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: We really have our own problems to deal with right now.

120
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: And you know, as I said in Adios America, it's

121
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 2: like when you're on a plane and they say, you know,

122
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 2: in an emergency, the oxygen mask will will drop. Put

123
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: on your own mask first before helping children. Okay, American

124
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: needs to put on its own mask first before we

125
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: can go around helping the rest of the world. Iran

126
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: poses zero danger to any American, whereas, oh my gosh,

127
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: every single day illegal aliens are killing America.

128
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Well, hey, I don't think we talked to you since

129
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Christy Nome left. Are you happy about her leaving?

130
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I was unhappy about her being chosen. That's

131
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: the facts to term one of Donald Trump were well,

132
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: mainly Christy Noman. I would also add attorney in general, Bondie.

133
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: You want her going next?

134
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: Trump is a little soft on the ladies, all right.

135
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Well, and Culter great stuff. Everybody should follow her on
