WEBVTT - Mike Allen Saturday Mid-Day -- 10/4/25 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:07.560 News Radio seven hundred WLW Mike Allen and Saturday midday. 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.480 A beautiful Saturday morning would be a nice weekend. I'd 0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:12.799 read the weather right. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.360 Another short show today out of here at eleven because 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:23.919 of the UC Iowa State game. You see's really impressing 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:28.640 some people three and one and Iowa State is five 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.000 and oh their fourteenth ranks, So if you see can 0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.640 knock them off, maybe they'll crack the top twenty top 0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:35.320 twenty five. 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.440 But before I do anything, I would be. 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.840 Remiss if I didn't think and congratulate my beloved Elder 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:47.559 Panthers last night beat number one in the state, the 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:53.160 Molar Crusaders, always a tough opponent. Elder wins the GCL 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:58.240 South title for the first time in a while. This week, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.840 Elder was sixth in the state ratings. I don't know 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.880 that they'll move up to one, but they should move 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:07.880 up quite a bit. But congratulations to the Elder Panthers. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:12.080 Big victory at the pit last night. You know, I 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.199 want to talk to you for a little bit here. 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:19.080 Some shocking, at least shocking to me polling that I 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:24.840 saw this week with respect to people's opinion about socialism, 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.320 and it's just it's hard for me to believe when 0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:33.640 I give you these numbers that they are what they are. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.520 But let me give them to you first and we'll 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:40.240 talk about it. This is Gallop, and they measured American's 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:47.360 opinions of various economic systems, mainly socialism. They started doing this, 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:52.000 Gallup did in twenty ten, and they've done it. Let's 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:57.720 see repeated the question six times since then. Anyway, Democrats 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:03.920 and independence view capitalism less positively this year, each showing 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:09.720 eight percentage point declines. In twenty twenty one. For the 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.639 first time, less than half of Democrats forty two percent, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:19.880 view capitalism positively, while a slight majority of independents fifty 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:26.600 one percent still do. Republicans' views not unsurprisingly, about seventy 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:33.320 percent support capitalism. But when you get to socialism, I mean, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:39.680 this is what really bothers me. Democrats positive view of socialism. 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.440 In twenty ten it was fifty percent. It is now 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:53.359 sixty six percent of Democrats view socialism positively. And it's yeah, 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.800 sixty six percent to forty two percent. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.600 So and it's I don't know if I haven't. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:05.160 The numbers of among young people are even worse. It's 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.840 just it's really disheartening when you see that, and you know, 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.600 sometimes I ask myself, are we gonna be able to 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.359 dig ourselves out of this hole? 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:16.240 Anyway? 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:20.000 Thinking about it, it's not really surprising when you stop 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.440 to think that the indoctrination. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.760 Begins now in grade school. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.520 Used to be high school and then college, but it 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.959 begins in grade school now, which is not surprising when 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.119 you have a teachers union, actually two of them, who 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:40.160 could give one damn about students and how they're doing 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.200 at test scores. All they do is get involved in 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:48.600 political activity. Randy Weingartner, I think she's the president of 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.320 the American Federation of Teachers. I have never seen, and 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.320 I've been doing this for a while, I have never 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.080 seen a public statement from her that said, well, you know, 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.920 I'm really shocked about the test scores. We're going down 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.040 the tubes and all of that. Never but boy, she's 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.120 there when you want to talk about radical leftist politics. 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:13.120 So it's really, I guess, no surprise that these numbers 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:17.080 are what they are. These kids they don't know what 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.120 socialism is, they have no idea, and you know, their 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.160 professors when you get to the college level, probably high 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.920 school two are filling their heads with a bunch of 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:31.440 crap on it. Here's another just a brief part of 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:35.440 a poll May twenty twenty five Cato Institute you gov. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:39.440 That poll found that sixty two percent of Americans aged 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.480 eighteen to twenty nine have. 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.880 A favorable view of socialism. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.800 So and again, to repeat what they just said, sixty 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:53.119 six percent of Democrats overall have a favorable. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.279 View of socialism. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:58.200 And I think one of the reasons is, as I 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:03.240 just said, they don't know what socialism is and they 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:09.279 never has and you know, the support of socialism in 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.400 spite of the fact that it has been tried and 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.520 it has failed in so many countries. That's the thing 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.919 that has me and a lot of other people scratching 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.599 their head. If you want to go down the line. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.640 I think the biggest example in my lifetime of a 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:31.719 failure of socialism is the Soviet Union when it collapsed 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:37.240 in nineteen ninety one, Thank you, Ronald Reagan. After decades 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:41.560 of economic stagnation, scarcity, and political repression. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.039 It just collapsed of its own weight. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.520 So there would be an example for you, professor, if 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.479 you dare to teach your kids something like that. East 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.120 Germany which of course was a Soviet satellite. They're gone 0:05:55.160 --> 0:06:01.240 now Germany is united. They had all kinds of economic problems. 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:06.400 The economy lag behind of course their neighbor then West Germany, 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.960 and they always had shortages and a lack of freedom, 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.920 just like the USSR. That fueled dissatisfaction, which led to 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:20.479 the reunification in nineteen ninety. Venezuela, which was once the 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:25.720 wealthiest nation in South America. Their oil dependent economy collapsed 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:32.599 under socialist policies of Hugo Chavez and Nicholas Maduro. Hyperinflation, 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:38.720 severe shortages of food and medicine, mass emigration. So probably 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:43.480 the best example, going along with the Soviet Union. Ninety 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.880 miles off of the Florida Coast is Cuba. Since the 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:54.200 revolution in nineteen fifty nine, Wen Castro got Batista out 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:58.080 of office, it's been a one party socialist state period. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:06:59.520 Now. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:04.480 The pended for years upon the Soviet Union to help 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:09.120 them out with food, medicines, things like that. When the 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.280 Soviet Union collapsed, and actually a couple of years before that, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.520 they cut them off, and now they are on their own. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.000 And from what everything that I have seen and read, 0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:23.680 I mean, they are really struggling. So you know, that's 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.080 another one. Professor, maybe you can teach your students about that. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:32.000 But I ain't going to hold my breath. But again, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:37.240 it's all about indoctrination, in doctrinating these young people to 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:45.760 believe that socialism is a good alternative to capitalism, which 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:46.880 is just nonsense. 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:48.400 And I got this. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.960 From AI view supporting me in doctrination claim, but I 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.280 agree with it. And you know, just for the hell AI, 0:07:56.640 --> 0:08:00.320 about ninety percent of the time I find that they 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.280 give it to you, right, They do give you both 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.440 sides of which I like, but they've been pretty good. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.920 But anyway, they go on to say, some commentators, often 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:15.120 from conservative and libertarians think tanks, attribute growing support for 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:19.520 socialism to what they see g listen to this as 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:23.920 a leftist bias in education in the media. Do you 0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:28.160 think that exists leftist bias and education in the media. 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:33.040 I mean, that's one of the reasons why they talk 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.480 when they talk about indoctrination. The kids suck it up 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:39.480 and they don't get the true story. With respect to 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.120 the media, there are some that argue that young people 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.880 receive a bias view of economic systems from the media. 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.440 I think that is absolutely true. 0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.320 Education critics claim the education system from high school through 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:59.480 college promotes leftist ideas and fails to provide a balanced 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.920 economic education. I'm going to read that sentence again because 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:10.080 that is one thousand percent true. Promotes leftist ideas and 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:16.920 fails to provide a balanced economic education. Lack of soft 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.920 lack of economic understanding. Critics also point to polls showing 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:27.080 that many young people cannot accurately define socialism or free enterprise, 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:32.120 suggesting their support is based on a superficial understanding rather 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:37.240 than a deep knowledge of economic principles. Again, that one 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.760 is one thousand and one percent true. So I mean, 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:45.240 that's what you get, and that's why I think those 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.680 numbers as are as high as they are, and it 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.160 should frighten people. I mean, you've got the situation with Mondami. 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:57.480 He's going to be New York City's next mayor. You 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:02.080 got Minneapolis, the vice president of their city council is 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:06.559 a socialist. So you know, again with respect to Mandami, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:10.360 he promises to make workers' lives better by raising the 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.120 minimum wage to thirty bucks an hour. You know, I 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.319 want people to make as much money as they can, 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.640 fast food people, whatever. But that's unworkable. I mean, it's popular, 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:25.199 but it's just dumb and it's unrealistic. Last year, you 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.800 remember this, California demanded that fast food workers be paid 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.800 at least twenty dollars an hour. Yeah, of course the 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:37.480 unions and the politicians cheered that, but and smart people 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:41.319 knew this. When the companies have to pay beginners even 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:46.479 twenty dollars an hour, they employ fewer people. Pizza Hut 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.080 they had to lay off twelve hundred people because of 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.840 it over the next year, while other states add a job. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:57.280 Listen to this, California fast food workers lost jobs. 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.720 Eighteen thousand of them lost jobs. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.640 So you know, it's a situation where young people think 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:11.479 it's good, but when you apply it, maybe not so much. Minneapolis, 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.319 as I said, the vice president of the Minneapolis Minneapolis 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.400 City Council is a socialist. 0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:21.800 She has said, where has socialism? Oh? 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:25.720 She was asked a question where his socialism ever worked? 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:32.800 She was silent and interminable nine seconds. Finally she said, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:37.320 I'm doing a fine job representing my community. Question where 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.920 his socialism ever worked? Response, I'm doing a fine job 0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.720 representing my community. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.160 There you go. I mean, this person is the vice 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.760 mayor of a big city. She doesn't know. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.080 George Will call Umn this to who you haven't heard 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:54.240 much from in a long time, he said, And a 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.160 lot of people feel like this. 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:57.360 He says. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.600 He wants Mondami to win because every years we need 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:06.520 to experiment and watch it fail. You know, I'm kind 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.559 of with George Will on this. I mean nothing against 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.599 New York City, but I mean, you think about it. 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.200 He wants to give everybody free bus rides. I think 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:22.360 free subway rides. That's great, that's fantastic. How are you 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.400 going to pay for it? New York like California, probably 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:30.760 not as bad as California. They're seeing a mass exodus 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:34.640 of people. So I guess if that's what he wants 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.280 and what they want, that's what they're gonna get. But 0:12:38.559 --> 0:12:41.160 they ought to teach it. They ought to teach it properly. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.800 They ought to teach it fairly. But I ain't holding 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:49.440 my breath about that at all. Another thing that really 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.760 got under my crawl this week that I wanted to 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:58.200 talk to you about that is the situation with the 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.320 DHS Secretary of Christian I don't know if you saw 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:01.880 this or not. 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.040 This just shows you the pettiness of the left. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.080 She was actually blocked from using a bathroom at an 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.600 Illinois government building while all this stuff is going on. So, 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.080 I mean, that's how petty the left can be. You know, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:24.120 they're going to prevent her from using the restroom because 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.880 they don't like her. And boy, if you're watching that 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.440 mess out in Portland, that's not getting any better, that's 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.640 only getting worse. I mean, it's just it's a bad 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:39.760 situation out there, and it's a situation where, you know, cops, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.560 the Portland Police apparently are not covering over on runs 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:52.559 that the Ice agents have, you know, dangerous runs sometimes, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:58.480 and that runs just the antithesis of what cops do. 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:02.800 I mean, cops back up cops, whether it's your department 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.439 or another department. But they have been ordered by their administration, 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:08.599 by the mayor. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:09.560 Not to do that. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.760 And that's not good. I mean, obviously it's not good. 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.200 It's not good for the police, it's not good for 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.280 the public. I mean, it's real simple. I don't know, 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:23.160 maybe it's too simple. We have a federal law that 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:29.880 prohibits trespassing into our country, period, full stop, and it's 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.480 been on the books for a long time, so we've 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.520 got that law, we have an agency, a federal agency, 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.080 to enforce that law. 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.240 That's ICE. 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:44.040 And now you have a situation where cops, Portland cops, 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.240 will not go to the aid of a fellow police officer. 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.880 I know, you know, they're not called ICE agents, are 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.680 not called police officers, but they are police officers. They're 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.960 enforcing the law. That's a pretty sad state of affairs. 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:02.440 And I would love to talk individually it is some 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.560 of those Portland cops and see what they think about it. 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.120 Something tells me that they're probably none too happy, because again, 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.240 it's want to rule one for being a police officer 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.000 on the street. You back up your buddies, you back 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.960 up your fellow officers. But you know, not in the 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:22.440 age that we're in now. I mean everything has been 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.600 stood on its head, and watching some of that stuff 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:30.640 out in Portland, Antifa is rumored to be at the 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.600 bottom of it. Trump is trying to put together a 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.320 situation where a conspiracy you can charge them with a 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.480 federal conspiracy. I'm sure the Justice Department is looking at it. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.840 But you know, when the left doesn't get what they want, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.400 they riot. When we don't get what we want, you 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.960 know what. We may take it to court, but we 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:55.800 when's the last time? When's did you ever see a 0:15:55.840 --> 0:16:01.800 group of conservatives rioting about anything? I mean, the obvious 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:06.600 answer is you haven't because they don't. But again, the 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:09.600 rules don't apply to many on the left. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:10.760 You know. 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:14.720 I apologize for the kind of disjointed ramp this morning. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.600 Didn't have a lot of time, But I mean, the 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.720 main thing I'm taken away from it is these young 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:26.640 people that are saying they support socialism. Somebody, somehow, somewhere 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.640 has got to teach them, number one, what socialism is 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:36.080 and number two give them examples, the myriad examples where 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:39.160 it has failed. But I'm not going to hold my 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.400 breath on that anyway. That's what I think. I want 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.440 to know what you think. Seven four nine, seven thousand, one, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.600 eight hundred, the big one are the numbers. 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:53.360 Mike got nine thirty nine thirty. 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:56.920 Six News Radio seven hundred ufter year w Mike Allen 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:00.600 Saturday Midday got a short show for you. As I said, 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.480 we're out of here at eleven because of the uc 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:07.120 Iowa State game. At ten o'clock, we're going to talk 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.880 to Attorney James Bogan. He's going to fill us in 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.240 on some really good developments on men pretending to be 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.400 women in women's sports that's going our way. Probably ask 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.680 him two about p Diddy and the Komi indictment. And 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.960 at ten thirty the final REDS Report of the year 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:28.280 with davidy armbrus here. Meantime, I want to get as 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:32.320 many of these calls that I can. Who do we 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.080 go to first? Let's talk to Thomas in Villa Hills. Hey, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.360 good morning, Thomas, Hey. 0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:39.119 Good morning Michael. 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:40.240 Thanks for taking the call. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.840 My pleasure a little bit, Leary, and I want your 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.960 opinion on the House Republicans and the Senate Republicans. It 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.480 doesn't seem like they're doing much up there. I don't 0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.080 see any great movements on any Trump's executive orders. I'm 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.159 kind of leery like they just kind of want the 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.840 status quote because they don't want to upset the applecart 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:02.119 that much, and they're more politicians than they are Republicans, And. 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:04.160 I don't know what's going on. 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:05.680 What do you think is going on up there? 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.760 Well, let me ask you what would you have them do? 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:11.360 What are they not doing that you think they should be. 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.720 I would have some immigration some of these executive orders 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:16.800 looked at turning in. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.960 The falls without a doubt. 0:18:19.080 --> 0:18:20.880 Well knocks like Trump's doing it all. 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:21.480 I think. 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.760 I think what you're saying is, let's just take immigration. 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:27.760 It would be better if he didn't have to do 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:32.199 that through executive orders, but it's not politically feasible for 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.080 him to do it at this time. 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:34.800 Uh. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.439 You know the budget. I know they're going back and 0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:38.200 forth over. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:42.400 That, but you know, to me, that's one thing that's 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:46.119 real simple. The Democrats want a ton of money to 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:50.359 give to illegal immigrants for medical costs, and Republicans say no, 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:51.639 they don't want to do it. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.560 Well, it seems it seems to me like they almost 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:58.520 would want to lose the mid terms. They can go 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.840 back to status quo and not hit and much pressure 0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:03.159 on them to solve this, and. 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.480 They can have an excuse like, well, you know, it's. 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.280 Kind of a split House and Senate and we just can't. 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.159 Do do what we need to do right now. 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.399 It is a perfect opportunity for them to stand up 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.240 for the Americans and get something done here, and I 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.960 just don't see it happening from re elected representatives. 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.119 It's kind of milk toast. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:20.400 It's kind of status quo. 0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:24.439 That's what I see. No, it had done very little. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.280 I appreciate your point of view. I mean, we do 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:30.320 have a majority in the House, but just barely. And 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.600 the tradition is the party in power will lose seats 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:39.399 two years after a presidential election. I hope that doesn't happen, obviously, 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:42.919 and we do have a pretty solid majority in the Senate, 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.879 not sixty votes, which would be great. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.720 But I understand what you're saying. I got a ton 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:48.400 of calls here. 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:50.400 Let me each you one other thing. 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.359 Sure, if we don't fight back at all with all 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.920 these democratic, riotous tactics and we just keep taking it, 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:00.280 isn't it just going to continue? Don't we have any eat, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.879 any strength, any backbone. I'm not saying we hit the riot, 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.480 but right if we're throwing them up front, we're going 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:09.240 to do nothing about you know, we're not gonna write, 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:10.760 We're just gonna let you have your way. 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:12.200 When does that stuff? 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.439 Well, let me do this. I'll answer your question. I 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.280 appreciate your call. I got to get to some of 0:20:17.320 --> 0:20:20.000 these other calls, though. You know, from my point of 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:23.200 view where I sit, I think things are going pretty 0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:26.199 good right about now, and there's really. One reason and 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:30.000 one reason only for that is because our president has 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.919 a pair of you know what, he doesn't care. I mean, 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.120 he's going to do an executive order. If you don't 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.960 like it, take it to court. If it's illegal, you know, 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.960 it'll be dealt with in the court system. So I 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:42.920 understand what he's saying. I mean, I'd like to see 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:44.960 people do more. I mean, if we could ever get 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:50.359 sixty senators to break the filibuster, we'd be in great shape. 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:51.640 So I don't know. 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:55.800 I think things are going pretty well, but I agree 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:59.320 with them on one point. The midterms are crucial. We 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.879 have to keep the majority and beef it up in 0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:05.680 the house. Hey, let me talk to let me talk 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.200 to Barry in Miamisburg. 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:10.560 Hey, how's it going today? 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:11.560 I'm good man. 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:14.360 What you got It's a beautiful day. 0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:15.800 I've got two things for you. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:16.399 Okay. 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:25.520 Positive note, Even the younger twenty crowd knows that they're 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:31.160 getting screwed by the education system. Do they got screwed? 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:33.800 Berry? Do you really believe that? 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:35.840 And if you do, and I think you probably do, 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.640 tell me why because I sure ain't seeing that. 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:41.199 I would hope that's the case, But why do you 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:41.760 think that. 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.320 Let me let me give you an example. Yesterday, as 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:52.280 I was buying lunch at a local fish house that 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:57.160 I won't name. Okay, some of the workers in the 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:03.200 back line area, we're making jokes about lack of reading 0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.879 ability and laughing at it being because they want to 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:13.960 the public schools. Really, yeah, I mean there comes a 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:19.320 point where you know you were given eleven and there's 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.200 nothing else you can call it. 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:22.560 You know what. 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:26.000 I hope you're right. I really do you know parents 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:31.960 to what their kids are being taught. I'm sorry, go ahead, that's. 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:35.760 Not all of them, I grant you, But you know they. 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.640 Were laughing about it like it was a comedy routine, 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:43.680 and yeah, they realized that something ain't right here. 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.119 I hope you're right about that. I guess in the 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.240 coming years we'll see. But boy, those numbers are frightening. 0:22:51.440 --> 0:22:53.760 I think they are. 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:57.800 But you know there are nuggets of hope out there. 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:02.080 I agree, you know, I agree. We just got to 0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:02.680 keep going. 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:06.639 How do you pick the broken Jack Lanner? 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.119 What? What was that you? 0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.040 How do you a broken Jack Lanner? 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.000 Boy? You got me on that one. 0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:18.040 Here's a pumpkin patch. 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.920 Very good and it was clean thanks, Berry, appreciate the call. 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:27.520 That was pretty good. Let me talk to Jeff and Zenia. 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.160 Hey Jeff, good morning, Hey. 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:30.560 Good morning, Mike. 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:31.040 How you doing. 0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:34.280 I just wanted to back up your idea. 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:36.760 Just go through the Wall Street journals last week and 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:37.960 on Monday they. 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:41.480 Talked about the rise of the young socialists and what 0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:43.840 they said was dated back to was a two thousand 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:47.440 and eight financial crisis about how that left a very 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:51.440 lasting impression on people that were just coming into. 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.200 The workforce as well as looking to buy houses. 0:23:54.440 --> 0:23:55.360 And when the house is. 0:23:55.320 --> 0:24:00.960 Tanked because of various reasons which are still unknown, that's 0:24:01.040 --> 0:24:03.040 where the socialism movement got. 0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:03.760 A big push. 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.000 You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I get 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:08.880 the Wall Street Journal. I read that exact story too, 0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:12.359 and I don't know. I mean, if that's the reason 0:24:12.400 --> 0:24:17.360
