1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760 Speaker 1: Since you bring up what a rip off the exchange was, 2 00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: I just wanted to share that when the exchange first 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: came out, I was a ten ninety nine employee buying my. 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: Own insurance for myself and my family. 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 1: Because I had to subsidize people. I was making about 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 1: thirty grand a year, and after I paid my premium, 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: I was below the poverty line for leftover income after insurance. 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 2: Really remarkable. I don't know if you've gotten your insurance 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: rates for next year. I did, and worse health insurance 10 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: is costing me a lot more. Remember the great line, 11 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: if you like your health care policy, you can keep 12 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 2: your health care policy. If you like your doctor, you 13 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: can keep your doctor. What a lie that is? What 14 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: an absolute lie that is. Remember Obamacare was supposed to 15 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 2: save us money. So the the inflation rate is now 16 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: three percent three percent. That's that's not that's not great, 17 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: that's bad. It means if you if you aren't making 18 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: three percent more every year, well you're losing. I'm John 19 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: Caldera in for Brownie. Give me a call three oh 20 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 2: three seven one three eight two five five seven one 21 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 2: three talk. Let me just give you a quick example. 22 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: I know it's tough on a Monday morning. Yeah, I'm 23 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and say this. So here it is. 24 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 2: How much is a dime worth? How much is a 25 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: dime worth? Yeah? Ten cents? Well it depends. Ever since 26 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: we got off the gold standard, inflation has been eating 27 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: all of your money. It's called debasement. No, not the 28 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: basement debasement. No, not like deplaying debasement. It means that 29 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 2: every year the Feds increase the money supply by about 30 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: six percent, seven percent, sometimes five percent, but they just 31 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: keep making more money, which works for a while, and 32 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: then it flows up. It means that your money is 33 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 2: worth less, not more. Let me put it this way. 34 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: In nineteen sixty four, last time, there was actually a 35 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: little bit of silver in our coins because our money 36 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 2: was backed up by gold and silver. When you had 37 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: a dime, a tiny, little thin dime, it actually had 38 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 2: a little bit of silver in it, less than a 39 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: tenth of an ounce of silver. Actually point zero seven 40 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 2: percent of that was silver. Get this, if you had 41 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: that dime today, this silver alone, not any value of 42 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: it being a collectible or anything that just the silver 43 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: is worth three and a half buck, three and a 44 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: half bucks. So let's do this. Nineteen sixty four, you 45 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: want to buy a gallon of gasoline, it costs three dimes. 46 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: It was thirty cents. Well, thirty cents back then is 47 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,559 Speaker 2: worth about three dollars today, So you're thinking, oh see 48 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: see it's about the same. I can still buy a 49 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: gallon of gas for what was thirty cents. No, no, no, no. 50 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: Back then, three dimes got you a gallon of gas. 51 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: But those three dimes today, the ones made out of silver, 52 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: are are worth eleven dollars and fifty cents. Is that right? Yeah, 53 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: toward ten bucks because the silver was there. You could 54 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: buy three gallons of gas today with three dimes from 55 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: nineteen sixty four. That is, there's enough silver in there, 56 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: and you could buy three times the amount, three times 57 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: the amount. Isn't that amazing? So if we stayed on 58 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: the gold standard, those three dimes could buy three times 59 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 2: what you're buying. Now. That's how you lose money. It 60 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: is the sneaky way government steals your money. Yeah they 61 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: steal through taxes. Yeah, they put you into debt. But 62 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: the ugliest is inflation. The ugliest is inflation because it's 63 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: government manufactured. People think that inflation is this like state 64 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 2: of nature. Now, actually, deflation is the state of nature. 65 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: Gold is over four thousand dollars an ounce, four thousand 66 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: dollars an ounce. That's just because the government keeps printing 67 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: more paper money. Gold holds its value, all right. Three 68 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: o three seven one three eight two five five seven 69 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: to one three talk me. Let me bring it out 70 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: to the East wing. I found this really interesting. So 71 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: the journal Wall Street Journal puts puts out an article 72 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: of how Trump barreled through DC's bureaucracy to get his ballroom. 73 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 2: I know people are all freaked out about the ballroom. 74 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: Oh it's so wrong. Oh it's this and that. No, 75 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: it's not wrong. The White House is been changed many times. 76 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: Many different presidents have put different things on, including the 77 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: East or the West wing. They had to knocked down 78 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 2: a bunch of greenhouses to put up the West wing. 79 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 2: It happens. It's just that today there there's so much bureaucracy. 80 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: How in the world did he do this? This is 81 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: why people love Trump. He figures out how to do things. 82 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: The left is put together a system that is full 83 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 2: of procedure, so nothing can be built. As part of 84 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: the environmentalist warfare, We're gonna put in this study requirement 85 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 2: and that study requirement in this waiver program and that 86 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: waiver program, so that nothing can be built. You can't 87 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: build a new dam, you can't build a new windmill, 88 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: you can't build anything because it takes so long to 89 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: go through the permitting and it's gotten so bad. The 90 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: environmentalist movement that created this bureaucracy is now beginning to 91 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: regret it. There's a fascinating book called Abundance written by 92 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: a reporter named Ezra Kline. He's an envirol reporter. He's 93 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 2: in viral crazy and he's realized that this bureaucracy that 94 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: the left has created to get anything done is now 95 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 2: affecting their ability to build any sort of new green energy. 96 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 2: They can't build their windmills, they can't build their solar 97 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 2: power farms because of all the restrictions that they've put 98 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: in all. It really is pretty fascinating. This is why 99 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: if you have a home and you want to, you know, 100 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: redo something on it, it takes years. You've got zoning codes, 101 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: you've got planning commissions, you got this, you got that. 102 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: It's amazing anything gets done in China. By contrast, the 103 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: government says, yeah, we're putting a dam, in here. Everybody 104 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: who lives there has a week to get out because 105 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: in a week your house is going to be flooded. 106 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: Everybody leaves. They don't care. They're totalitarian. Hmm. So how 107 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: did Trump manage to tear down the East Wing of 108 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: the White House in just a couple of days. I mean, 109 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: it's like, we're knocking this down tomorrow, and tomorrow it's gone. 110 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: The East Wing is gone. It doesn't exist anymore. And 111 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: it's been knocked down, and people are screaming, Oh, it's terrible. 112 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 2: The only terrible aspect to the wing coming down, the 113 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: building coming down and something else being put there, I think, 114 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: is the way it's being funded. I think if government 115 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 2: is going to build something, it should be appropriated by Congress. Otherwise, 116 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: you've got a bunch of companies who are donating all 117 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: this money. And all these companies have business in front 118 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: of the president, so they're happy to give him some 119 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: money for his new ballroom because well, they're going to 120 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: need his favor soon enough. That is a danger that 121 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: shouldn't be But as far as knocking down the East wing, 122 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: great putting up this huge edifice. In one hundred years, 123 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: people will be talking about how it got done, all right, 124 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: So how did it get done? According to The Wall 125 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: Street Journal, the story starts out in July with a 126 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: terse email from the White House to three members of 127 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: a twelve person planning board who are appointed by former 128 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: President Joe Biden. Here's what the email said, quote on 129 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: behalf of President Donald J. Trump. I am writing to 130 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: inform you that your permission, your position as commissioner of 131 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: the National Capital Planning Commission is terminated, effective immediately. Thank 132 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: you for your service. I particularly like that part. Thank 133 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 2: you for your service. You're fired, and thank you for 134 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: your service. In their place, President Trump installed his own 135 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 2: parent panel of loyalists, including senior White House officials, giving 136 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: Republicans control of a little known body that has outsized 137 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 2: influence over the historic White House Complex. The National Capital 138 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: Planning Commission has raised no public objections to his plans 139 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: to remodel the most famous resident in the world. Is 140 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: it really the most famous residents in the world? Excuse me? 141 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: Santa's Workshop m M. Its website now informs visitors that 142 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: the Commission's work has been halted due to government shutdowns. 143 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: Oh I love this. So here he fires the guys 144 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: that Biden put in puts in his own people. They 145 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 2: rubber stay up the plan. And now if you want to, 146 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 2: if you want to yell and screep about it, well sorry, 147 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 2: but but because of the shutdown, you can't even get 148 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: to this commission. Oh I love this Wall Street Journal 149 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: rights quote. It was a classic example of the former 150 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 2: real estate developers uh in action, bulldozing through norms, exerting 151 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: control over groups that might stand in his way, taking 152 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 2: advantage of oddities and permitting rules, and acting so quickly 153 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 2: that nobody could stop him. And that incredible. Good for him, 154 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: Good for him. This is why people love or hate him, 155 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: because he can get crap done quickly. 156 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: They right. 157 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: As it turns out, despite the central role in more 158 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 2: than two hundred years of American history, the White House 159 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 2: is exempt from much of the zoning, permitting, and regulatory 160 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: structure that governs most real estate projects in the country. 161 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: There is extraordinarily flexible or flexibility to whatever the president 162 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: wants to do, said the chief of staff to First 163 00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: Lady Barbara Bush. To his supporters, Trump is showcating, showcasing 164 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 2: the skills that got him elected. Irreverence, expediency, unconventional thinking. 165 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: To critics, the demolition represents a visual embodiment of how 166 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: Trump is remaking or even destroying the federal government by 167 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 2: imposing his will on the country. No, no, no, it's 168 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: it's what happens to the White House. Other presidents have 169 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: done the same thing. They put in the West Wing, 170 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 2: they put in the East Wing, they put in bowling alleys, 171 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: they put in swimming pools, they put in callidaides, they 172 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: put in porticos, all that from the president. Hm hmm. 173 00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: So the new ballroom is set to add at least 174 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: ninety thousand square feet to the White House complex. It 175 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: will be nearly twice the size of the White House's 176 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 2: main building, which is fifty five hundred square feet. White 177 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: House officials say they will also rebuild East Wing offices, 178 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: which included workspace for the First Lady and her staff. 179 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: This thing is big. This thing is big. So, if 180 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: you don't know, the White House is the residence and 181 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 2: the Oval office isn't in the White House. It used 182 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: to be the White House, was it? The President had 183 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: his own office inside the White House, inside the residence. 184 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: And then the West Wing was built, and then the 185 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: East Wing was built. It's kind of like, how to 186 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 2: put it you've seen hospitals. Hospitals just get globbed onto 187 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 2: and globbed onto and globbed on too, to the point 188 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: where they have to actually paint stripes on the floor 189 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: so people can find their way around. That's because they 190 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 2: just get added to. The White House is no different. 191 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: Just west of the White House is the old Executive 192 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: Office building, this massive European style granite building that houses 193 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: the Vice President's office as well as all the other 194 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: executive offices. It's big, It's very, very big. The portico 195 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 2: is that rounded area and the back of are on 196 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: the south side of the White House. So that was 197 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: built out by a I forget which president. So this 198 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: future ballroom is going to be massive, absolutely massive, and 199 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: of course since Trump approved the plan, it's going to 200 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 2: be extra gaudy with lots of gold around it, because 201 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 2: that's the way he does it. Renderings that Trump has 202 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: held up at public events show a cavernous room with 203 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: gold trim arched windows call fored ceiling with gold trim 204 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: and chandeliers throughout. Now, what was supposed to be two 205 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 2: hundred million then grew to three hundred and the president 206 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 2: says he's raised three hundred and fifty million. For at 207 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: least fifteen years, Trump has tried and failed to build 208 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 2: a grand ballroom at the White House. In the early 209 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: twenty ten, President Barack Obama's top strategist, David Axelrod, got 210 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: a call from Trump, then a developer and a reality 211 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: TV star. A hmm, he said, you have these state 212 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: dinners in your h swear word for crappy little tents. 213 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 2: Actual Rod recalled. He said, I build ballrooms. Trump said, 214 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 2: I build ballrooms. I build the most beautiful ballrooms in 215 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: the world. You can come to Florida and see for yourself. 216 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: Trump offered to build a modular ballroom at the White 217 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 2: House that could be deconst Well, now he's getting what 218 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: he wants because he knows how to play the system. 219 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: This is why people like Trump. He gets things done 220 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 2: and in a year they'll probably be a brand new ballroom. 221 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: Come on, you gotta like this, John. 222 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 3: I got a comment in a question as far as 223 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 3: the government, Well, you would think that those guys would 224 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 3: learn to save their money or possibly get away to 225 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 3: get a loan that they always get paid back. And 226 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: then the other question. I read your Sunday Gazette article 227 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 3: and I'm wondering how did you from Boulder get to 228 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: get a Denver library card. 229 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 2: What a great question. It's good to have people stalking 230 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 2: me like that. I'm John Caldera in for Inver Brownie. 231 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: I will answer that question after I take this phone call. 232 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 2: Do we still have rod On Rod? Welcome to do 233 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: with John Caldera. 234 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, John, thanks so much, thanks for what you do. 235 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 4: Just two questions concerning the or just two observations concerning 236 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 4: the upcoming election and Boulder. I'm a Boulder resident and 237 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 4: here for forty years at any rate. The first one 238 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 4: is when you get to the ballot, the first thing 239 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 4: you can vote for a city council members? And why 240 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 4: on the ballots have they never had party affiliation? They 241 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 4: make it hard to look up. I went to I 242 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 4: did a search and came up with nothing, So why 243 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 4: is that so hard to get? 244 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: Most municipal seats are unaffiliated seats. What I do is 245 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: I go to sites like Plan Boulder or some of 246 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 2: the more leftist organizations, see who they are endorsing, and 247 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 2: then I choose the other ones. And so most seats 248 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: in Colorado are unaffiliated. City councils are unaffiliated. Usually RTD 249 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: is unaffiliated. It's part of their charter. Otherwise you'd have 250 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 2: to have the parties have primaries, and then the primaries 251 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 2: would go through. Same thing with Denver. Denver does not 252 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 2: have parties. You can be a Democrat and be mayor, 253 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: but it's not a Republican and a Democrat that end 254 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: up at the final ballot. It's those top two who 255 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: win the primary. So in other words, there were you know, 256 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: fifteen people running for mayor and auditor and all the rest, 257 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 2: and the top two could be two Republicans, two Democrats, 258 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 2: two unaffiliateds. They're the ones who win and you see 259 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 2: them on the ballot in the fall. Most cities you 260 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: just petition your way on because there's so few people 261 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 2: who want the job, right, Can that help? 262 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 5: Okay? 263 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I so appreciate that. Thanks for the workaround. And 264 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 4: then number two, on the back of the mail in ballot, 265 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 4: the envelope you have to drop off in the drop 266 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 4: box or mail in point two, it says under important information, 267 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 4: there's point one point two point three point two says 268 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 4: it's a violation of law to receive more than ten 269 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 4: ballots for mailing or delivery in any election. Really, so 270 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 4: we're going to limit it to ten. I don't understand 271 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 4: that statement, Like I thought one was all you could do. 272 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 2: No, what they're talking about there is a law that 273 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 2: is impossible to enforce. The left owns Colorado because they 274 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 2: have great ballot harvesting systems, all very legal, nothing illegal 275 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: about it, and it means they can go and knock 276 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 2: on the doors of people they know will vote their 277 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: way if only they voted. So they'll go up to 278 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 2: you and go, hey, Rod, we noticed you haven't voted yet. 279 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 2: Do you need any help? Do you want me to 280 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: return your ballot for you? And by Colorado law, a 281 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: person can only drop off ten ballots. So if you 282 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 2: and your wife and your eight adult children are all 283 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: living in the same house and you want to drop 284 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: off of the ballots, you can drop off all ten 285 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 2: of those ballots. They're for ten different people. If you, 286 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: your wife and nine adult children live in your house 287 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 2: and you're gonna go, oh, I'll just return all eleven, 288 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: technically you can't do that. 289 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: Okay, understood, Thanks for the information, so appreciated. 290 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, my pleasure. And uh, I forget which group I 291 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 2: voted for. Four city council members in Boulder, all of 292 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: whom came on one little mailer to me that said 293 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: we're pro business and pro anti crime. And all the 294 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: other candidates I got like fifty mailers four and they're 295 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: endorsed by the Workers Party and Plan Boulder and this 296 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 2: and that and this and that. So I knew that 297 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 2: was just more of the same. Thanks for the call. 298 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 2: My numbers three oh three, seven to one, three eight, two, five, five, 299 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: and my weekly column Sunday column for the Denver Gazette, 300 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 2: which you can also read in the Colorado Springs Gazette. 301 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 2: In Colorado Politics, I mentioned how silly our male in 302 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: ballad system is, and I said, good God, you don't 303 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 2: need to show an ID to vote in Colorado. But 304 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: when I got a library card in Denver, I needed 305 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 2: to show an ID. College just called up and said, 306 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: wait a second, you live in Folder. What are you 307 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: doing getting a Denver library card? All right, here's the 308 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: sad secret. Are you ready? I can't read. I am dyslexic. 309 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: I don't know how to read. That's why I run 310 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 2: a think tank because I don't know how to read. 311 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: I hate reading. Reading stinks. So when I found books 312 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 2: on tape, my world opened up. Finally I can listen 313 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: to books. I can when I I'm going places listen in. 314 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: And so I got Audible, which is well. I used 315 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 2: to rent tapes. There was a place kind of like 316 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 2: Netflix that would actually send you cassette tapes or DVDs CDs, 317 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 2: and then Audible came along and you could just download 318 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 2: them to your phone. And there is a there is 319 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 2: an app called Libby Libby that allows you to download 320 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: both PDF type books and audiobooks from your local libraries. 321 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 2: And so I have one at a library card for Boulder, 322 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: but Denver also allows anyone in Colorado to get a 323 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 2: library card for the Denver Library. I needed this to 324 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: get to be able to download audiobook from the Denver Library. 325 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: And you could usually just go on to your local 326 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: library and get a card electronic because you just see 327 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: the number try for two years changed it, guess what 328 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,239 Speaker 2: they changed it. So if you are out of the 329 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 2: city limits, you gotta go in there and show them 330 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 2: drivate license. That's right, In order to get a freaking 331 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 2: library card, you have to show your driver's license. But 332 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: in order to vote, we put these ballots in your 333 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: mailbox like we're stuffing grocery store coupons in your mailbox. 334 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 2: Colorado has an all mail in ballot system. You will 335 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: be given a ballot. Who will return it? We don't know. 336 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 2: In fact, just recently the twenty third congressional district, my 337 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 2: friend George Brockler district prosecuted a woman who sent in 338 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 2: the ballot for her son and her surprisingly dead husband. 339 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 2: Dead husbands usually can't vote. But that kind of voter 340 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 2: fraud is really hard to catch. It's really hard to 341 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 2: catch because we just throw these ballots out. If you 342 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 2: live in a condo or an apartment building, if you've 343 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: go into the mailroom, you'll see in the trash can 344 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: just gobs and gobs of ballots. It's because people throw 345 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 2: away their ballots when they get them, like, oh I 346 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: don't want this, and they throw it away. Well, anyone 347 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 2: can grab that and use it. What is the ID 348 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: you know, how do we ensure that this is actually 349 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: a a proper thing. Well, you sign it on the 350 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: back of the envelope. When you send it back in, 351 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 2: you sign your ballot, now, not the ballot it's health, 352 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 2: but the envelope. Then they open it up and they 353 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: throw the ballot into the pile. And so your your 354 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 2: signature is your verification. Huh yeah. So in this world 355 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 2: where we have thumbprints, where we have retinal scans, where 356 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: we have facial recognition, where we have all these biometric markers, 357 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: how do we know whether or not that was you 358 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 2: that sent in that ballot. We check your signature with 359 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: what is on file. So these campaign workers, the voting officials, 360 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 2: take your ballot, they pull up your record, They look 361 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: at this signature on the back of your envelope, and 362 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: then they look at what they have on their record 363 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 2: as your last signature. What looks like your signature. If 364 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: they look the same, it gets forward. If it looks different, 365 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: it gets tossed aside to be looked at a little 366 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: more closely. That's it. It's a human who takes two 367 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: to three seconds to look at your signature and go, oh, yeah, 368 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 2: that looks kind of like what we have on file. 369 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 2: That's close enough. That's verification. Now, the idea here is 370 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 2: that we can't have voter ID requirements for voting because 371 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 2: that would be voter intimidation. Because, as you know, poor people, 372 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 2: people of color, minorities, they don't have any photo ID. 373 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: That's why none of them can open up a bank account. 374 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 2: That's why none of them can ride an airplane. That's 375 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: why none of them can buy a beer. It's why 376 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: none of them can can buy marijuana legally. It's why 377 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 2: none of them can cash a check. All those poor 378 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: minorities none of them have Well, of course they all 379 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 2: have IDs, but it's a whole lot easier to gain 380 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 2: a system when you don't have to have an ID. 381 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 2: So I made this suggestion in my column. Tell me 382 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: what you think. The idea is pretty simple. Everybody who 383 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 2: has an ID in Colorado has a thumb print on 384 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 2: file with this state. You go, you get your driver's license, 385 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 2: say take your thumbprint. It's a biomarker. It sure seems 386 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 2: easy enough to have some sort of one time, single 387 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: use flap that you lift up, you smack your thumb down, 388 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 2: you put the flat back down, and you send it 389 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: off with with your ballot. That way, instead of just 390 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 2: checking your signature, since you're not there in person, maybe 391 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: they could check your thumbprint or some other type of 392 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: marker to say this is actually you? Who would be 393 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 2: against this? 394 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 4: Now? 395 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 2: I get it you and I don't like mail in ballots. 396 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: I certainly don't, But they say that they want secure ballots. 397 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: Lots of people don't believe that elections are fair. They 398 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 2: don't trust them. Let's take this step so you trust 399 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: them a little more. Why not? How is it that 400 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: the TSA uses your facial recognition to get through? But 401 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,239 Speaker 2: here in Colorado we're still back a century ago and 402 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 2: we use your signature as your verification. I remember as 403 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 2: a kid I needed to get my report cards and 404 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 2: my tests signed by my parents. I'm supposed to go 405 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: get it signed so that you could show the teacher 406 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 2: sure that your parents saw that you failed to test. 407 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 2: Do you know how good I am at forging my 408 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: father's signature. My father's long gone, I could still forge 409 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: his signature from when I was ten years old. I 410 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: got it down all right, three three seven to one, 411 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: three eight two five five. That ballot is on your counter. 412 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 2: What do you get? I suggest you vote no on well, 413 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 2: I think everything three or three seven one three eight 414 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: two five five. Also send me a text in for Brownie. 415 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: I'm John Caldera. Keep it here six point thirty k 416 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: How good Dragon get his voice back over the weekend? 417 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: Or will we have a fill in producer again? Sadly 418 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: Dragon still has his voice? What ugh nin knew? There 419 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: were a lot of streaming orders against him not to 420 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: use his voice. That works out pretty well. I'm John Calderic. 421 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 2: Give me a call three or three seven, three eight, 422 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: two five five. Let's talk to Jim. Jim, good morning. 423 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 2: Glad to have you. 424 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 5: Good morning. Yeah, I just wanted to come in about 425 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 5: the ballot edition. I know my brother been moved out 426 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 5: of Colorad for about three years, and he still get 427 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 5: a ballot, come cause he stayed with me before he left, 428 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 5: and they still sending ballots to my address and he's 429 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 5: having voted in Colorad for about three years. 430 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: Isn't it tempting to send that it is out? You 431 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: have no, no temptation at all to sending that ballot. 432 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 5: No, not at all, because I don't roll like that. 433 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 2: I have that temptation. I never give in to that temptation. 434 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 2: But I look at that ballot, you know it's there. 435 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 2: So check this out. Many towns and cities in Colorado 436 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 2: have more people on their voting role than they actually 437 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 2: have people in their city that their population is less 438 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: than they're registered voters. And what you're getting with your 439 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 2: brother is the reason why. So it is near impossible 440 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 2: to get anybody off these voter rolls. People move away 441 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: and they still send the ballot. People die and they 442 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 2: still send the ballot. Our leftist legislature, our leftist legislature 443 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 2: passed the law making it harder and harder to clean 444 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 2: those ballot roles. Because you know, just because your brother's 445 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: not there this year, it doesn't mean he won't be 446 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: at your house next year, or the year after that, 447 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 2: or twenty years from now. So we better just keep 448 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 2: sending it to you and those of us who worry 449 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 2: about it go, that's invitation to fraud. 450 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 5: I'm gonna turned it in and put on there that 451 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 5: he's no longer cause brought a residence and put it 452 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 5: in a box. So I'm not filling out anything. 453 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're going to remove your brother anyway. See, 454 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 2: we have this change of address form that the Secretary 455 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 2: of State's office is supposed to check, and when somebody moves, 456 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: they're supposed to stop sending them a ballot. Now, bind you. 457 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: If we didn't have mail in ballots, if we had 458 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 2: good old fashioned precinct voting where people would walk in 459 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 2: and vote, none of this would happen. We wouldn't have 460 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: to send out ballots. Yeah, yep, I think you just 461 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 2: said it all right there. Yep, hey, thanks for the call, 462 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 2: Thank you, Jim. So do you still get ballots for 463 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 2: your kids who no longer live at your home? Do 464 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: you still get a ballot for a deceased family member? 465 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,839 Speaker 2: Do you get ballots for people who lived at your 466 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: house before you even got there? Those are all invitations 467 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 2: for voter fraud. All right, So let's play out this scenario. 468 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 2: You're in a mail room at your apartment building. You 469 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 2: look in the trash and you pick out ten different ballots. 470 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 2: Do you fill them out, you scribble the guy's name 471 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 2: on the back, You throw them into the mail, or 472 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: you drop them off someplace. Who's gonna know. And even 473 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 2: if half of those get caught as suspicious, wait, that 474 00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 2: signature doesn't match that signature, that's still five votes and 475 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 2: you're not gonna get caught. You're only gonna get caught 476 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 2: if you do something stupid like send in your dead 477 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 2: husband's ballot, or if you spout off about it. This 478 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 2: is one of the many reasons I don't trust them. 479 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,760 Speaker 2: Back after the news keep it on kihw
