1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Six seven two six x sixty eight sixty eight is

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: the number. Lines are blazing. Dan in New Hampshire. Thanks

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: for holding Dan and welcome.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking the call, Jeff, I appreciate it. Jeff.

5
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: You know, you blame people being heavy. You blame and

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: blame and blame and blame and blame. But I want

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 2: to put the blame on our government itself and the

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: transformation of America. You just let twenty million people into

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: our country because they're going to vote Democratic, because they've

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 2: been brought in by a Democrat and they've been given

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: everything to support their votes. We've thrown away what we

12
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 2: originally had when people used to go to I can't

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: think of the island, but there was a special.

14
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Elis and Ellis Island, Yeah.

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Ellis Island and they were processed, they were

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: gone through so they had to assimilate. They couldn't be

17
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: a burden onto our country and they had to walk

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: the walk. And if they didn't walk the walk, they

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 2: were tossed out. Now our country has let us down

20
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: because they've wont other people in power. They want to

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: enrich themselves, they want to stay in office for their

22
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: whole entire lifetimes. They've distorted what this country actually stands for,

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: and in the process let everybody through the door just

24
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: to continue the same situation that they can be in

25
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 2: power and have control and not care about a simulation.

26
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: You go into a market, that's all you can hear

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: is people speaking foreign languages. You know, it's hard to

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: even believe that I'm in America because they have so

29
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: many foreign languages. But I'm going to put the blame

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: on our governments itself because we've basically stepped off. We've

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: not followed what's been successful for us. And Trump's trying to,

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: you know, take the wheel, you know, as he says,

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: maybe stop immigration. I say, let's cherry pick. Let's cherry

34
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: pick the people that come in. Let's make sure that

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: they're qualified and what they can do for this country

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: instead of what we can give them for their vote.

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: This country is worried about fat people. Let me tell

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: you something. I'm fat and I like it. It's my choice.

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: I'm an American. If I want to eat, I eat.

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: Quite honestly, I don't go on big vacations. I don't

41
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: spend myself lavishly. My little things are going out to

42
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: a nice restaurant or a nice bakery and I eat

43
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: what I want, you know, later in life. So you know,

44
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: let's face it, you know, my drives and this and

45
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: that are different because now that I'm older, you know,

46
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: I care a little bit more about food than physique.

47
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you right now, I'm happy in my skin.

48
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: I think that heavy people I'd rather I look at

49
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: it like this. I'm more interested with a person with

50
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: a big brain than I am with a big gut.

51
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: You know why, because you can have both. I can

52
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: be a heavy guy, but I can be as smart

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: as hell, and I can be talented in many different ways.

54
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: And they, let's face it, our country has put terrible

55
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: food out on our plates. They're forced us to eat it.

56
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: We're very very technical. Now the kids don't go out

57
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: and play, they don't get to run around and do

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: the things that we used to do. So we're responsible

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: for being in the situation that we've put ourselves in.

60
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: And now we're going to discriminate against fat people and

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: this one and that one. No, no, they've tried to

62
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: transform America. They didn't give a care about who they

63
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: let in. They let in the junkies, they let in

64
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: the criminals, They let in unqualified people, sick people, everyone.

65
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: As long as you could vote, you've got in. So

66
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: I say, let's get back to basics. Let's have Ellis Island.

67
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: Let's do what made us successful. If you know, we

68
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: want nationalism, we want patriotism, we want people to assimilate,

69
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: and they've not done that for twenty and thirty years

70
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: because our government has lost side of it.

71
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Bingo, Dan absolutely, Bingo. Look, we've replaced the melting pot

72
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: with multiculturalism, and we've replaced Americanization with multilingualism. And Dan, look,

73
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: I completely agree with you when you talk about you know,

74
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: you go to a store or you go anywhere now

75
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: and you hear nothing but foreign languages. You know, as

76
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: I said yesterday, I'm talking dozens and dozens of languages,

77
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: languages I never even heard of. I mean, I know,

78
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: I can I understand Spanish, I understand Portuguese, I get

79
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, that's an Asian language. But I'm telling

80
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: they're talking languages now. I have no clue, no clue.

81
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: So the question I have is what binds us together?

82
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: What holds us together? If we don't even have a

83
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: common language, then how do we have a common country?

84
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: We don't have a common culture. We can't even communicate

85
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: with each other. And you know, I don't want to

86
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: pound the pulpit, but I got to say it. It's

87
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: in the Bible. I mean literally, we're talking. This is biblical.

88
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: The Tower of Babel, where you had all these different languages,

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: people speaking different languages, and they try to build this

90
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: tower to glory, you know, to glorify God, and they

91
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 1: ended up destroying each other, and it ended up destroying

92
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: the tower. And the Bible is basically warning us saying, no,

93
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: you don't want this. God. Look, God wanted different nations,

94
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: different cultures, different people's, different languages. But in France they

95
00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: speak French. In Poland, it's Polish. In Japan it's Japanese.

96
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: In America, at least until recently, it was English. And

97
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 1: so one of the things now, honestly, I think we

98
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: need to do is not just restore the melting pot

99
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: and assimilation check, not just now, really crack down on

100
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: the borders, check and substantially reduced in legal immigration. Because

101
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you, we do want to bring in

102
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: some of the most talented people if we can, but

103
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: we've got to start focusing on what unites us. And

104
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 1: end this stuff with DEI and diversity and multiculturalism, because

105
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: it is the road to ruin and disaster. And I'm sorry.

106
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: It's time to make English an official language of the

107
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: United States. It should be the official language in every

108
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: state across the entire country. And we should be aggressively

109
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: teaching English in the schools. So you know, I'm sorry.

110
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: You got to learn English. You've got to learn to

111
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: read English, You've got to learn to write English. This

112
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: is the language of our nation. It's the language of

113
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: our founding. It's the language that has sustained this for

114
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: four hundred years. Why are we abandoning it now? So

115
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: let me throw this log on the fire. Not only

116
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: should we have I'm asking you, should we have a

117
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: five year immigration moratorium, but should we make English the

118
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: official language of the United States? Jeff Kooner, Boston's bulldozer.

119
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Six one seven two sixty six, sixty eight sixty eight

120
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: is the number. Okay, my friends, I want to read

121
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: to you a text message that I got from a

122
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: really good, dear friend of mine, and I think it

123
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: sums up our entire discussion today on borders, language, culture, immigration,

124
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: the national question, which to me is the question facing

125
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: us as a country. And I think he absolutely hit

126
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: the nail on the head. And this is what he

127
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: wrote to me. And please, whatever you're doing, please stop.

128
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: You need to hear this because this explains the last

129
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: thirty to forty years. You want to know how we

130
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: got here, This is exactly how we got here, Jeff.

131
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: As you know, I used to be a school teacher

132
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties high school. That was forty years ago.

133
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: Way back then, especially in the high school system where

134
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: I taught, quote unquote, multiculturalism was already being indoctrinated into

135
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: the students. The term sounds lovely and warm, with lots

136
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: of ethnic food and dancing. But the core principles being

137
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: taught were one, all cultures and all peoples are equal

138
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: and interchangeable. That is very true. That is exactly what

139
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: you get in school elementary. Now it's forget how high school, elementary,

140
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: middle high schools, universities, colleges, in Hollywood, the media. It's

141
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: relentless that all cultures on peoples are equal and they're interchangeable. Two,

142
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: that these cultures need not and should not assimilate here

143
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: in America, but rather operate under the same way of life.

144
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: That they had in their home countries in order to

145
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: quote unquote enrich the new American experiment, and so multiculturalism

146
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: should be celebrated. And three and of course you know this,

147
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: this is huge. Now, this is, as they say, ubiquitous,

148
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: it's pervasive. It's everywhere. That the United States as a

149
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: nation was illegitimate from its outset and quote unquote stole

150
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: the country from the Native American Indians and was built

151
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: on the labor of slaves. After three years of that,

152
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: the kids went off to college hating their own country.

153
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Now I'm adding this part not only and he's completely right,

154
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: A thousand of hell a million percent correct, they forget

155
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: a thousand. Not only are they sent off to college

156
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: hating their own country, but now you know why they're

157
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: so receptive to Marxism and communism, because communism is telling

158
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: them what they think they already know, which is, well,

159
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: your country is evil at its very core. It's evil,

160
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: so it needs to be overthrown, it needs to be replaced.

161
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: We need a full revolution. And now they're completely open

162
00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: now to Marxist communist indoctrination and brainwashing. And then you

163
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: f PBS, which reinforces it, and pr reinforces it, CNN

164
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: reinforces it, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, all the

165
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: major networks. They just keep reinforcing this over and over

166
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: and over and over again. Now let me ask all

167
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: of you this. Okay, this may be a tad premature

168
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: because Thanksgiving is still a little bit away, but still

169
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: I want to ask all of you this. When I

170
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: ask you, as you're listening at home, in your car,

171
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: at work, wherever, you're listening to me on podcast, wherever,

172
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: what is American culture? If I was to say to you, look,

173
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: you're at sea, you're on a ship, you're with other foreigners,

174
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: and they say, whatever your name is, I'm just going

175
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: to make up a name, John, Jennifer, whatever. Can you

176
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: explain to us? What is American culture? What is it?

177
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: What does it mean to be an American? What does

178
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: American culture consist of? What would you say? What's your answer?

179
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: What does it mean to be an American? Truly be

180
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: an American? And if you notice, over the last forty years,

181
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: they have tried to drain the content of what it

182
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: means to be an American. They're deliberately diluting American culture

183
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: on purpose, and what it means to be an American

184
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: and our cultural identity. This is done deliberately, and so

185
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: when you ask someone what does it mean to be

186
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:51,839
Speaker 1: an American? Increasingly people are saying, I don't know, really, no,

187
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: what does it mean to be an American? Do we

188
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: have a national food? Do we have a shared history? Yeah?

189
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Do we have actual, real traditions that we all as

190
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: Americans honor and commemorate and respect and adhere to. Do

191
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: we have a definition of what it means to be

192
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: an American? Now, I'm just gonna I've never heard of

193
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: this woman. I've never heard of this woman. I don't

194
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: care to know about this woman. But this is a

195
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: story that struck it just it really stood out for me,

196
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: and it's a big deal in the media. I never

197
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: heard of this woman anyway, So some of you may

198
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: know her. I'm confessing to you, I have no idea

199
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: who she is. But this is exactly now what I'm

200
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: talking about. CBS is now giving a cooking show, and

201
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: apparently it's a big deal to this host. She's a model,

202
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: a former model. She's from India. Her name is Padma

203
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: And if I'm mispronouncing her name, forgive me. Lakshmi. I

204
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: think is how you pronounce it Lakshmi. Okay, Okay, there

205
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 1: you go. So Sandy knows her very well. She was

206
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: a huge host on Bravo and apparently she was the

207
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: former wife of Salmon Rushti. So apparently she's a big deal.

208
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: I never heard of her. She's a huge cookbook author.

209
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: Now you anticipate exactly what I'm going here, Sandy. So

210
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: apparently she's a huge cookbook author. And now she's going

211
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: to get her own show on CBS. So Patma Lakshmi.

212
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: Now she did an interview on CBS because now they're

213
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: plugging her new show. She's got a new cooking book out. Now.

214
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: I want to stress this. I have nothing against her.

215
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure she's probably a nice woman in private. Nothing

216
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: against her personally. But her mother and her arrived in

217
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: this country fifty years ago. She's now fifty five years old.

218
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: She came at the age of five, so they left

219
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: India when she was five years old. She's a naturalized

220
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: American citizen. She came here at the age of five,

221
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: according to her. Because now they're talking, you know, Thanksgiving,

222
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: and what are you going to be cooking for Thanksgiving?

223
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: And they're plugging her show, blah blah blah, and she says,

224
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: listen to this, that apple pie is not American. You know,

225
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: the expression as American as apple pie. No, no, no, no.

226
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: She goes on about that Americans have no culture, that

227
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: the only culture we have is what is brought to

228
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: us by quote unquote immigrants and migrants. And according to her,

229
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: in an interview that she gave to the New York

230
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Times and they wrote it down word for word, she said,

231
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: quote apple pie isn't American. Not the crust, not the filling,

232
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: not the spices. And so she goes on to say

233
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: that even everything that Americans love, say for Thanksgiving, such

234
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: as turkey, corn, cranberries, even blueberries, you name it, that

235
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: this was all given to us by immigrants or migrants.

236
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: And listen how condescending she is. She says, you know,

237
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: the only really American food. This is what she says,

238
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: is that if we just ate what was native to

239
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: the United States, we'd be living on desert, pack rat

240
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: and ramps. And she's referring to these rodents that live

241
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: in the desert and wild garlic. That's it, according to her,

242
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: that's all that's our native cuisine. That's a very good point, Sandy,

243
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: our Native Americans upset about this. You're completely right. I

244
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 1: mean she's ignorant. There's no question. You're right. She's completely ignorant.

245
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: But my point is, this is her attitude. Now she

246
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: even says, I just want to add, this is a

247
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: further problem when you have multiculturalism. Now, by the way,

248
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: she's phenomenally wealthy. She's done extremely well for herself, and

249
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: she admits it. She even says, oh, no, America has

250
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: been very good to me. So they say, well, do

251
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: you love America? And this is what she said, quote, well,

252
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: I love this country for what it gave me and

253
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: my mom in other words, like it's transactional. Well, it

254
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: scratched my back, it put money in my pocket. So yeah,

255
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: I want to scratch its back. Now here's what she wrote.

256
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: If you take away this is what she told the

257
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: New York Times forgive me. Is what they wrote. If

258
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: you take away the immigrants, our country, the entire food system,

259
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: high tech, the tech arena, wall street, medicine, everything, it

260
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: will all come to a standstill. In other words, without migrants,

261
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: there is no American culture. Okay, look, we're going to

262
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: talk about this some more as we get closer to Thanksgiving.

263
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: But just because I want to go to the phones,

264
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: but just super super quick apple pie was introduced in

265
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: the sixteen hundreds in the United States and the third

266
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: in the colonies. It's from England, originally from England, and

267
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: we perfected it, we did. We perfected it. Even the

268
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: English admit we perfected it. By the way, just so

269
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: that people know pasta, which is you know, you want

270
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: to talk about a national right food for the Italians, right,

271
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: it's pasta. What you think they invented pasta? Just to

272
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: show you how stupid that Padma Lakshmi whatever she is. No,

273
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: it was pasta was brought from China by Marco Polo

274
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: back to Italy, and then the Italians perfected it and

275
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: they adopted it and said, no, now it's you know,

276
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: it's our national cuisine. It's our national food. So what

277
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying is just because something isn't quote native to

278
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: your country doesn't mean it's not your national food. Now. Furthermore, so,

279
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: that's you know, point number one. Moreover, and Sandy's on

280
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: fire back there because I think you know she liked Padma.

281
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: She calls her Padma by the way on a first

282
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: name basis. She used to watch her. According to Sandy,

283
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: she says, she's dropped dead, gorgeous. I'm just telling you

284
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: what Sandy's telling me. And she's a great host, and

285
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: she can't believe she's saying this, and she thinks this

286
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: is going to ruin Padma's career. And I think she's right.

287
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: But anyway, as Nancy, as sorry, Sandy, as Sandy said,

288
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: the turkey is native to the United States. In fact,

289
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: it's so native that Ben Franklin wanted national bird or

290
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: whatever to be the turkey and not the American eagle.

291
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: So turkeys are indigenous to America. This woman doesn't know

292
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: what she's talking about corn. What do you think the

293
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Native American Indians? What They didn't grow corn? What are

294
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: you nuts? They didn't do hunting and fishing and so

295
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: so much of the foods that we eat on Thanksgiving

296
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: are indigenous to the United States. A b apple pie,

297
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: we perfected it over four hundred years. But my point

298
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: is under multiculturalism, look at how they denigrate the country

299
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: that's been so good to them. Look how little they

300
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: think of us. And she came here, she's fifty five

301
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: years old, now and I'm sorry, but I got to

302
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: say this. I'm sorry I have to say it. You

303
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: think you would be successful in India the way you

304
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: are here in America, with the cast system that they

305
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: have in India. It's a third world country with mass

306
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: poverty and that particularly discrimination against women, which is rampant.

307
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: You think that you would have a cooking show, a

308
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: successful modeling career, a successful TV career, and be a

309
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: multi multi, multi millionaire with a national audience and your

310
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: own national TV show in India in your dreams, in

311
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: your dreams, and this is how you pay us back.

312
00:21:52,359 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 1: This is your gratitude. That's what multiculturalism does. It divides,

313
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: it polarizes, it's fundamentally un an anti American. And I

314
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: got final word to Padma. You know, if India is

315
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: so much better and they have all this culture and

316
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: all this tradition, and they have all this beauty and

317
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: we don't, We're just a bunch of culturalist barbarians. Hey,

318
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: no problem, go back to India. It's okay, We'll survive

319
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: without you. If you don't like it here, leave And

320
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: that's one saying that used to be very prominent in

321
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 1: the seventies. I want to revive America, love it or

322
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: leave it. John in Saugust, Thanks for holding John, and

323
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: welcome John. Okay, I think we lost John. Maestro mic

324
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: Where do you want me to go to next? My

325
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: friend Sergio in Marlborough. Thanks for holding Sergio and welcome.

326
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: Good morning, Jeff. How are you doing good?

327
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: How are you?

328
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 3: I'm very well, sir. Two quick points. When I was

329
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: going to mention the pasta coming from China, I was

330
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 3: going to mention that. Two I'm going to get to

331
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: a point about illegal immigration too. My parents were Italian

332
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: immigrants in the late fifties, very proud of what they did.

333
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 3: They had to be sponsored to come to the United States,

334
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: and they assimilated and they did very well for themselves.

335
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 3: My real point is about illegal immigration, which I never

336
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 3: hear anybody talking about. And because I was entrenched in

337
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 3: the Brazilian community in Framingham for a lot of years

338
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 3: and I knew a lot of Brasilience, everybody I knew.

339
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: Kane flew over on a visa and just overstated the visas.

340
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: They didn't come over the border.

341
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: That's a great point, a great point. Keep going, please.

342
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: They they came over on a plane on a visa

343
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 3: to just overstate the visa, and nobody ever talks about that.

344
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: Sergio, do you think it's time for a moratorium five years,

345
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: three years, whatever it may be on immigration quick or

346
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: running out of time? What do you think?

347
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: I'm not against that. I haven't thought about it, but

348
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm certainly not against it.

349
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're gonna need something like it. As

350
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: Grace put it, We're gonna have to pump the brakes.

351
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: And look, you know, I'm an immigrant to this country.

352
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: You know, my wife is Italian, and I know how

353
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: how Italians are some of the best immigrants in the

354
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: entire world. Honestly, everywhere they've gone. I don't care. America, Canada, Argentina, Australia,

355
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: take Britain. They enrich, Enrich, Enrich,
