Speaker 1: help me sleep a little easier at night, knowing full

Speaker 1: in time. Welcome back, my friend. Always love having you

8
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: on the show.

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 2: You only get about two hours of sleep, but at

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: least it's easy, thank you.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rick, so restless and worry full sleep, you know,

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh you got to fill four hours with a time. No, no, no, no,

13
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: I got Jack Adidan for at least twenty minutes on

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. There. That takes the weight off my shoulders.

15
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: Jack. There you go one quick urgent point before we

16
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: get to the topic suicidal universities, and you run does

17
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: the FCC Let me say, damnable on your show, Brian,

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: damn right, they do all right, good, It is damnable.

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: The Democrats are holding up funding not for the hated Ice,

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: which was fully funded by big beautiful Bill. No, Democrats

21
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: are withholding funds for a month then counting and paychecks

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: for airport security, the Coast Guard, FEMA, the entire Department

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: of Homeland Security in the middle of a war, a

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: war that, in compliance with the War Powers Act, the

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: House and the Senate last week voted not to stop,

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: at least for now. What are Democrats demanding to avoid

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: a filibuster on the funding of Homeland Security that ICE

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: be reformed. They don't mention that no reforms are requested

29
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: by thirty nine states because those states already signed agreements

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: to cooperate with ICE on deportation detainers. They hand over

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: deportees over de ICE peacefully, and even in never Trump

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: states like Minnesota, which refuse to turn over the worst

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: of the worst, excuse me, I'm back Brian protesters in

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: the face of ICE agents, people who sometimes use a

35
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: car to drive the isations. Even in anti America Minnesota,

36
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: DHS has already caved in to many Democratic demands. Tom

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: Holman's quietly scaled back the initial surge. President Trump's fired

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: DHS supermodel Christy Nome. He's now trying to replace her

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: with Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, who should thrill DEI Democrats

40
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: because he's the only Native American in the US Senate

41
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: apart from Elizabeth Warren. Mullen is Jerck B. Warren is

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: a fraud, as all Democrats are, because rather than accept

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: good faith concessions, Democrats only grow more ravetous. These political

44
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 2: worst of the worst don't want to protect America from

45
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: illegal migrants. Democrats invited tens of millions of them to

46
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: invade Americamerica so they could become a new base of

47
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: voters for Democrats, totally dependent on big government, which is

48
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: why Democrats also oppose voter id the Save America Bill.

49
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: So what do we have to do right now? Well,

50
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: a lot of people may disagree, a lot of people

51
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: in Congress, but it's some things Democrats surely will do

52
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: as soon as they regain Congress. Do a way with

53
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: Senate filibusters. As you know, counselor philibusters are not a

54
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: part of the Constitution these reason our founders required super

55
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: majorities only for things like treaties and impeachment convictions. It's

56
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: because the founders wanted legislators to legislate with simple Senate majorities,

57
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: not sixty votes. Thanks to the filibuster threat, our current

58
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: Congress has passed nothing but the one big beautiful bill.

59
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Filibusters work only when we have political parties that will

60
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: willing to compromise, willing to work together. Today's top down

61
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: Democrats are beyond that. They care only about sabotaging Republicans,

62
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: f Trump and regaining power. Folks, the model of this

63
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: segment is power corrupts. The new Democrats are corrupt to

64
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,559
Speaker 2: the core and filibusters. Now, do we have Tom Brian

65
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: to discuss the universities in America and Iran?

66
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Of course we do. I would just say that I

67
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: mentioned this morning as so far as the filibuster is concerned,

68
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: if you want to get rid of it soon. A

69
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: Senate Majority leader John Thune said they don't have the

70
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: votes for that. His quote was, the votes aren't there

71
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: one to nuke the filibuster, in other words, to get

72
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: rid of it. And the votes aren't there for a

73
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: talking filibuster. It's just a reality. I'm the person who

74
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: has to deliver. Sometimes they're not so good news that

75
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: the math doesn't add up. But those are the facts

76
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: and there's no getting around it.

77
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: So well the facts for now. But we can get

78
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: in touch with our representatives in this case, our senators

79
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: and make sure that they change their minds. Look, they

80
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: changed their minds before. Oh yeah, Democrats and establishment, Republicans,

81
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: and Donald Trump.

82
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: He did a one eighty on FIZA. He used to

83
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: be against renewing it. Now it's up for renewal and

84
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: he's all in favor of renewing it. So even Donald

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: Trump doesn't want eighty from time to time.

86
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: Well, as far as the philibuster goes, he has nothing

87
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 2: to say, But senators do Democrats. Senator Harry Reid made

88
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: an exception for the confirmation of federal judges, which is

89
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: why we have so many Democrat operators on the lower

90
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 2: federal benches. Then uniting Republicans for once, Mitch McConnell expanded

91
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: that philibuster exception to include Supreme Court justices. Although you

92
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: know the problem. It's not a problem in my opinion,

93
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 2: but as a working matter, Democrats, when you put them

94
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 2: on the Supreme Court, they all vote one way. When

95
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: you put Republicans on the Supreme Court, it's a crapshoot.

96
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: Take Amy Coney Barrett. She doesn't even support consistently the

97
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 2: First Amendment. We had a Democrat, Anthony Kennedy, who could

98
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: always be counted on to support the First Amendment. That

99
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: was his one exception. But with Republicans, we'll just have

100
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: to see expanding the court though, when democrats do it,

101
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: when they take power, you're just going to get more

102
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: Democrat robots. Anyway, you want to go on to.

103
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: University, absolutely, go ahead, We got time.

104
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. We mentioned last week how self destructive Iranian university

105
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 2: students were back in nineteen seventy nine Jimmy Carter's time,

106
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: when they helped kick out the Shah and replaced him

107
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 2: with Iyatola Polmani, the first one. As one observer gleefully noted, quote,

108
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: a fibrant array of left wing parties, from liberal to Marxist,

109
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 2: played a role in the Iranian revolution. Okay, However, almost

110
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: immediately women Gaze any opponents of Radici Islam realized what

111
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: they had done, that it was suicidal. But it was

112
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: too late, because what Iran's repentant students lacked then and

113
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: now is not just freedom. They lacked what made freedom

114
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: possible here in America. In seventeen seventy six, the right

115
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: to bear arms. Iran has no second Amendment. Our founders

116
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: added that amendment to the Constitution. Because the revolutionary war

117
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: was not just about General Washington. His continental army was

118
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: mostly comprised of local militias, and volunteers who brought their

119
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: own guns beyond Washington's army. A lot of the fighting

120
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: was guerrilla warfare, waged by militias and by ordinary Americans

121
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 2: on their own. One of my heroes as a kid,

122
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: listeners my age, we're a little older than you or

123
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: Brian may remember him from a Walt Disney TV series,

124
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. He pounced on the British

125
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: and said North Carolina with his dreaded irregular militia. One

126
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 2: of the biggest challenges we now face in Iran is

127
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: how to distribute arms that have been outlawed there for decades.

128
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 2: So even though I'm not a gun owner like you,

129
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Brian and our friends John and Tom, I'm awfully glad

130
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: that we all have the right and the means to

131
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: defend ourselves now. The Persian people, look through history, have

132
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: always been brilliant. How did Iranian universities turn suicidal? By

133
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: following the pattern of American universities, Starting with the most prestigious,

134
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: they became incubators and weapons for Marxism, sworn enemies of

135
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 2: Western values dating back to our friends the ancient Greeks.

136
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 2: Marxists suppose individual rights defending instead the collective, the theocracy,

137
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: the big state. They oppose unfettered thought, defending instead leftist

138
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: orthodoxy regarding the economy, climate, gender, anything that promotes elite dictatorship.

139
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: For helping Greeks think for themselves. Athens condemned Socrates to

140
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: drink hemlock. On the other side of the world to

141
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 2: suppress dissent, the first emperor of a unified China, Chin

142
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: Chi Huang, burned books and buried four hundred and sixty

143
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 2: scholars alive. Twenty two centuries later, Maoseedung's Cultural Revolution kept

144
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: the flames burning, as had Nazi Germany, but censorship actually

145
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: led to Hitler's undoing. In nineteen seventeen, the Max Planck

146
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 2: Institute for Physics opened in Berlin. Its first director was

147
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: a Jew who, in nineteen oh five had rethought our

148
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: whole notion of space and time until Albert Einstein had

149
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: to flee from Germany with the rise of the Nazis.

150
00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 2: Hitler dismissed as Jewish science Einstein's insights in to adam splitting,

151
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: so the Nazis, thank goodness, never got the atomic bomb.

152
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 2: American universities today teach all kinds of things Harvard offers

153
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: more than three thousand, seven hundred courses everything from physics

154
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: to immigrant justice. That's a four credit course. Brian I

155
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 2: could entertain everybody with a laundry list of other woke

156
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: offerings and an even longer list of conservative thinkers who

157
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: were censored for being politically incorrect. Don't take my word

158
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: for it. A survey by the student newspaper, The Harvard

159
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: Crimson found that only one percent of faculty described their

160
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: political beliefs as very conservative. A former Yale professor, Robert Bork,

161
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 2: was blackballed from joining the US Supreme Court by Democrats

162
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty seven, not because he was unqualified. Pork

163
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: had already served as Solicitor General, Acting Attorney General, and

164
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: judge on the US US Court of Appeals. JUDJH. Bork

165
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: was universally recognized as one of America's most brilliant legal minds.

166
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: But Bork was a judicial conservative. He did not believe

167
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: in courts making up new law, and he could have

168
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: argued the likes of Sonya Sotomayor and Katanji Brown Jackson

169
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: under the table. Worst of all, Bork eviscerated leftist universities,

170
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: including his school and mine Yale that surrendered to anti American,

171
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: anti Western radicals in the nineteen sixties. Bork's book Slouching

172
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: toward Gomorrah hurls this thunderbolt quote when the use of

173
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties generation listened to often leftist faculty members,

174
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 2: we had our invasion of the barbarians, only they are

175
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: now tenured barbarians, and Bork went on to write, modern

176
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: liberalism is what fascism looks like when it has captured

177
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 2: significant institutions, most notably universities. The danger of university bias,

178
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: Brian is not just that it spreads lies. It's that

179
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: bias censors truth. Bias stands opposed to debate, which is

180
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: required to arrive at truth. As we've discussed many times,

181
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: the supposed best and brightester being not educated but credentialed,

182
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: and even disciplines that used to be meritocracies they had

183
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: to be medicine architecture, they're now being forced to lower

184
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: their standards, so folks walk quickly past new buildings designed

185
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: by dei architects. They may collapse to talitarian regimes like

186
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: Nazi Germany, China and Iran thankfully cripple themselves by suppressing

187
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: the truth, and even in the land of the Free

188
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: and the home of the brave, during this two hundred

189
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: and fiftieth anniversary of our independence, our independence from top

190
00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: down government and censorship, even in America, we must fight

191
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: every day for freedom, because if it's up to democrats,

192
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: we won't fight for the people of a run and

193
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 2: we won't fight for ourselves.

194
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: What do you say now, I say that that course

195
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned over at Harvard University is going to set

196
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: you back three thousand, seven hundred dollars per credit hour.

197
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: Can you imagine that?

198
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: Well, of that it's paid by tankspayers.

199
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: Thirty seven hundred dollars per credit hour. Oh, and I

200
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: just I going back to my college teaching and all

201
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: the courses I took. I recall a lot of this

202
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: left wing activism began in the late sixties. At Berkeley was

203
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: a hotbed for it, with the Student for Democrats Society,

204
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: in the free speech movement, Mario Savio marching around campus

205
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: and leading protests. And I don't know if that's where

206
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: the fire started for all this left wing ism on

207
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: college campuses. But you know, sadly, Jack, you know it

208
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: as well as I do. You can't find really with

209
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: the exception of Hillsdale College, a university you can count

210
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: on to at least be neutral in terms of teaching

211
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: its students. It's all left wing propaganda and indoctrination up

212
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: with woke ideologues that come out with these worthless degrees,

213
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know what they do except take to

214
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: the streets and get paid by the George Soroses of

215
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: the world to be activists.

216
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you gotta have a degree. Gotta have what

217
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: do you, Brian? Have you heard? Democrat claims that Mark

218
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Wayne Mullen, the Senator is unqualified to head Homeland Security

219
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: because he has only an associate degree in construction technology,

220
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: not a bachelor's degree. Mullen left school early. I don't

221
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: care if he didn't go at all, but he did

222
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 2: leave school early to care for his dying father and

223
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 2: then take over the family plumbing business. Yeah, he turned

224
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: into four thriving businesses. Right. I wish more people in

225
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: Washington were as uneducated as Senator Mark Wayne Mullen.

226
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, demonstrably qualified. A skill said that few people on

227
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: the Democrats side of the aisle actually have the ability

228
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: to work and think and in earn a living for

229
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: his family. And become successful. Maybe I overlooked at Jack,

230
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: other than where is it in the Constitution that running

231
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: for a political office on a national level requires a degree?

232
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: I thought there was just an age cutoff. You had

233
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: to be a minimum age of what twenty five and

234
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,359
Speaker 1: in the Constitution or something. That's it. Any US citizen.

235
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: Luckley William F. Buckley Junior used to say he'd rather

236
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: be governed by one hundred names out of the Boston

237
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: phone Book than by anybody from Harvard.

238
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: Words you can live by, like yours, Jack, Avid, and

239
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: always a pleasure having you on the show. Love what

240
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: you have to say. Every week we'll hear from Jack,

241
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: big picture, looking forward all right in the next week,

242
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: Jack with another conversation, and as always, best of health

243
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: and love to you and your much better half.

244
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: And Paula, thanks so much, of course, I admit it.
