1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: All right, news, round up, Information overload hour. Here's a 2 00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: toll free telephone number if you want to be a 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: part of the program. It is eight hundred ninety four one, 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: Shawn if you want to join us. I mean, it 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: is so beyond repulsive, especially in light of everything that 6 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: has gone on and everything happened in the assassination of 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. But it was a complete Adam shift show. 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: At UC Berkeley last night, a bloody brawl broke out 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: near the university ahead of the Turning Point USA event 10 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: on campus. The event featured doctor Frank Torek, He's been 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: on both my radio and TV show and Rob Schneider 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: and marked the end of this is the Turning Point 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: tour and they'll be announcing of new events coming up shortly. 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,879 Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago that Charlie Kirk was assassinated 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: at a campus event in Utah on September tenth. Now 16 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: this erupted a brawl, two men seen inviting each other, 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: and you know, then we see the same thing the 18 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: Antifa crowd, the you know, Palestinian flags, the chanting I 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: mean does and then conflicts with the police. On top 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: of it, we have some tape of it. Let's play it. 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 2: Und fashion in the man. 22 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: I have been saying that this is nothing but dehumanization incitement. 23 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: I keep going back to the Democrats, the constant refrain. 24 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: It was their closing argument in twenty four Nazi fascist 25 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: racist Hitler Stalin Mzsolini. And it is having an impact. 26 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I mean, what part of assassination culture have these people 27 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: not gotten the message about? Anyway? Here, he was there 28 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: last night. He's become a friend of the program. Mikey McCoy, 29 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: he's the chief. He was the chief of staff to 30 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, but he's now the chief of staff at 31 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: Turning Point USA. He has a first hand account of 32 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: what happened at UC Berkeley last night. You might recall 33 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: that it's his father, Pastor Rob McCoy, who married Charlie 34 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: and Erica. And I've become pretty close to his dad, 35 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: and I think he is light years ahead of his father. 36 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: And your dad is an israel And you can pass 37 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: on that. 38 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 3: I said that, Yeah, I must have missed the radical 39 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 3: memo that went out from Antifa here because there's something 40 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: about doctor Frank Kirk and Rob Schneider, the comedian that 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: this doesn't strike me as radical here, and so for 42 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: some reason. 43 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 4: These two speakers particularly were the reason why these radical 44 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 4: leftist INTIFA members came out of the woodwork to just protest, 45 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: but also to try to terrify our attendees and attack them. 46 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 4: You played the clip of the gentleman wearing a freedom 47 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: T shirt, which is the shirt that Charlie was wearing 48 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 4: the day that he was assassinated, and for some reason 49 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,239 Speaker 4: that's a sign of hate, and so Antifa attacked him, 50 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 4: flipped over all of his stuff, attacked him. He was 51 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: bleeding on the ground. Police had to get involved, and 52 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 4: we had our attendees spat on. They were attacked, they 53 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: were flipped off, they were making fun of the assassination 54 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 4: of Charlie Kirk as for some reason, this is what 55 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: the left does. But this is also just kind of 56 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: a warrant sign for us, just with the radical lefts 57 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: proclivity to violence. Where given the opportunity to pick between 58 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 4: what we see inside of the building, which was our 59 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,559 Speaker 4: group of people peacefully gathering, reaching across the aisle, celebrating America. 60 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: Rob Schneider cracking jokes, Frank Turk giving a recount of 61 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 4: his friend Charlie Kirk Frank is an incredible man. He 62 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: happened to be there that day in Utah. But you 63 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: see inside versus outside, we are team civilization and they 64 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 4: are team destruction. We reach across the aisle, we invite 65 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: disagreements to the front of the line. Outside, they want 66 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 4: to beat you up. They have no interest in having 67 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: a conversation with you. They only have interest in the 68 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: destruction of every single American value and anything that has 69 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: American conservatism written on it. But at TPUSA, we like 70 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 4: to go straight into the line stend. We knew this 71 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 4: was this was going to be facing us at UC Berkeley, 72 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 4: but Charlie never let this stuff scare him, and it's 73 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 4: not going to scare us now. And so we're going 74 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 4: to continue this work. This happened to be our last 75 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: campus stop of this tour season, but we're going to 76 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 4: continue it again in our next campus tour, and we're 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 4: going to go to even more radical schools. But this 78 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: is something that we need to just kind of put 79 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 4: a flag on. Is the left for coluidity to violence. 80 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: And you said it perfectly, Sean. This is it's assassination 81 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: culture and and it's continuing on the left that they 82 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: think that political violence is okay. Political violence is not 83 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 4: okay ever, period and stop. And this is a big 84 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 4: confused to me. But what we saw last night is 85 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 4: just a perfect example of the last in where they're 86 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 4: headed not only as a party but as a cultural movement. 87 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: Well, you know, one of the things that I said, 88 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: and this is amazing about you. You know, by the way, 89 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: I was kidding about your dad. I've become very fond 90 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: of him, and I know how much he loves you 91 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: and how proud he is of you and. 92 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: Your dad. 93 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: I just I just happen to know is on a 94 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: trip in Israel. I believe he's accepting an award for 95 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: Charlie on Charlie's behalf. But what I love about all 96 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: of you, and you're young to me. I know you 97 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: probably don't look at yourself and say I'm very young. No, 98 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: at least I didn't when I was your age. But 99 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, it takes an enormous amount of courage to 100 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: do what Charlie did and what all of you continued 101 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: to do in light of what happened to Charlie. And 102 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: that is you know you're going into these hostile environments. 103 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: You know you're saying things that sadly are not often 104 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: and uttered on college campuses. You're talking about, Hey, maybe 105 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: you know, you want to recognize that human beings are 106 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: of mind, body, and spirit. Maybe you want to get 107 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: back in church. Maybe you want to reject hook up culture. 108 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you don't want to go to prap parties every 109 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: Friday Saturday night, and you know, be the kid throwing 110 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: up in the bushes. And the most amazing part of 111 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: it is you've been able to get young people to 112 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: not only think, but to join in and say, you 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: know what, Gee, I feel validated in my views. I 114 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: thank god there's a group that I can now, you know, 115 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: join and be a part of where people share these values. Yeah. 116 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 4: I think Erica Kirk a couple of weeks ago, at 117 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 4: her speech at Ole miss named us the courageous generation, 118 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 4: and I think that that was just it hit the 119 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: nail on the head of what we are as young people, 120 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 4: as a generation, as a whole is we're facing a 121 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,119 Speaker 4: massive crossroads. And Charlie was our advocate in our hero 122 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 4: and he oftentimes would just advocate for getting married young, 123 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 4: having more kids than you can afford, thinking the right 124 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: choice every single time, even though all your friends are 125 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 4: going out to have frat parties or time and again 126 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 4: making the wrong decision. 127 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: You can make the right decision. 128 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 4: You can take accountability for your life. You can go 129 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 4: to church, you can have more children than you can afford. 130 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 4: You can get married young, even though all the rules 131 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 4: tell you not to do that in society. And so 132 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 4: Erica hit the nail on the head. We are the 133 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 4: courageous generation. We're very courageous, but we're also just a 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 4: little bit hopeless. And so there's a lot of challenges 135 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: facing young people. With college debt being at an all 136 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: time high. You see for the first time ever college 137 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 4: graduates is from fifty eight percent of college graduates are 138 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 4: unemployed in their first year of graduating. And you see 139 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 4: the same unemployment rate for young men graduating of the 140 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 4: same age of graduating seniors. Of young men and non 141 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 4: graduating seniors have the exact same unemployment rate. Then you 142 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: have crushing student debt, these buy now, pay later programs 143 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: against young people, the labor market shrinking, illegal migration being 144 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 4: poured in under the Biden administration to take jobs of 145 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: young people, and so they see all these challenges against them. 146 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: First time home buyers in the United States is at 147 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 4: forty years old. The median purchase of a home buyer 148 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 4: sixty one years old. And so these young people are 149 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: seeing all these challenges facing them and it's really easy 150 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 4: to pick, you know, the easy way out, which for 151 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 4: young people. You saw a couple of weeks ago was 152 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 4: Mom Donnie in New York. How you saw this massive 153 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 4: victory for him, and that was because young people heard 154 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 4: him say and promise solutions. And he can smile and 155 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 4: he can say a solution. He may not act on it, 156 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: and it may be just socialism with a smile, but 157 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 4: young people see that and they want to vote for it. 158 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 4: That's why you saw seven percent of somewhat conservative voters 159 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 4: in New York City and nine percent of conservative voters 160 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: in New York City that are young vote for Mom 161 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 4: Donnie because they need some sort of economic reality change 162 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 4: in the under thirty camp before rat political you know, 163 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 4: radicalization sets in. And this is also what you're seeing 164 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 4: with young people. There's a YouGov pull that came out 165 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 4: recently that said eighteen to thirty six year old think 166 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: that political violence is okay, and we need to push 167 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: back against that. That's where we're doing every single day 168 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 4: at Turning Point USA. We're trying to give the alternative 169 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 4: solution to political radicalization. I mean three of the political 170 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 4: of the political assassins in the United States in the 171 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 4: past twelve months have been gen z. This is a 172 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 4: warning sign for our generation. We need to take accountability 173 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 4: and we need to make the right choices because our 174 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 4: hero was Trelie Kirk and he always led us the 175 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 4: right way, and now that he's gone, we need to 176 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 4: remember what he said and we need to take accountability 177 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 4: for our life. Show up at Turning Point USA events, 178 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: listen to what your leaders have to say on the right. 179 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 4: And we are the courageous generation. We need to find 180 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 4: our hope again. We need to find our meaning in 181 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 4: life again. And there's nothing that can stop our generation 182 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 4: from achieving greatness in this country, saving this country if 183 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 4: we just find the right ways to do it. 184 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Can I just ask you a personal question for our 185 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: audience's sake, how old are you, Mikey? 186 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 4: I'm twenty four years old. 187 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 2: It really takes my breath away. 188 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: And I told you something privately when I saw you 189 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: and you were on the TV show when I was 190 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: in d C.

Love to have you back anytime. Two 222 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 6: quick comments and then I'd like I have a possible 223 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 6: I think a real workable solution to the next government 224 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 6: shutdown which has gone on happen one. The Democrats don't 225 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 6: care about constituency. They don't care about them. They care 226 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 6: because they know they've got that forty percent lockdown. 227 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: The fact that. 228 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 6: They mcdonmie had a D buy his name. They'd vote 229 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: for Hitler if he had a D by his name, 230 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 6: And it doesn't matter. They care about their party. Party 231 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 6: comes first to Democrats, not constituency, not the people back home. 232 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 6: Then it's the people that donate the money to be 233 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 6: big insurance companies. But now Schumer is basically mad because 234 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 6: he's wanting the Republican Party to bail them out of 235 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 6: the things You've been saying for years, what's going to 236 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 6: happen with Obamacare? You know, it's going to be over 237 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 6: for it's not gonna be enough money, it's going to 238 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 6: cost a fortune, and all those things. Now they're wanting 239 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 6: the Republicans to bail them out of their short sightedness? 240 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 7: Is that? 241 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: You know? I keep quoting Marksimonios today. 242 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: It's the Affordable Care Act officially known as the Affordable 243 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: Care Act. If it's so affordable, why do you need 244 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: the subsidies in perpetuity? That affordable? And then OZ gave 245 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: us the real numbers. You know, first of all, there's 246 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: a lot of fraud, waste, fraud and abuse that they've identified. 247 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: They've identified, you know, a ton of illegal immigrants in 248 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: the program. They've identified people that don't even know they 249 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: have it, that never use it. I went through the 250 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: numbers the insurance companies. You know, I have outperformed like 251 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: other SMP companies by by four times what they've made 252 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: over the last you know, since Obamacare was implemented. 253 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: But what did I warn? What happened? 254 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: They would they would make these promises then they would 255 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: never fulfill them. 256 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: And I wish I was wrong. I wish it worked. 257 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: It never was going to work because government doesn't run 258 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: very much efficiently at all. And that's why I urge 259 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: you in this audience don't buy their lie. You know, 260 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: if you think this is bad, the people that rated 261 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: the lock box, the social security, the people that screwed 262 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,239 Speaker 1: up our school systems, the people that want to reimagine 263 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: the police and defund and no l if you think 264 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: those people are capable of running anything efficiently, they're not. 265 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: And for them it's about power, and their power is 266 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: your dependency. 267 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: I'll give you the last. 268 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 6: Word and a real quick fix, you know, to what 269 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 6: could happen if the Republicans could get, you know, develop 270 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 6: some testicular fortitude, just come up with pass the law 271 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 6: that five months after election day, if they don't have 272 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 6: a bill passed to run the government, they don't get paid. Congress, Senate, 273 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 6: none of them get paid, none of their people who 274 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 6: working there for and they don't get back paid. I 275 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 6: guarantee they would be incentivized to pass a bill that 276 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 6: would get the government paid. Then they can do all 277 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 6: their pedally squabbling the other way. But having them develop 278 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 6: the testicular fortitude to do it. You know, that's that's 279 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 6: going to be the kicker. But it came. 280 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: Well, there are a lot of Republicans that didn't take 281 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: a check during this period. Some are not gonna get 282 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: back paid for the very reasons you've outlined. But for 283 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people in Congress, believe it or not, 284 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: this is the most money we are ever going. 285 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 2: To make in their life. Which I ought to tell 286 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: you something. 287 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 6: Well, that is all right, the insider trading. 288 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: Alright, Well, you know, if only we could get a 289 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: seventeen thousand percent although Nancy Pelosi dies, it denies it 290 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: a return on money's invested. If only your net worth 291 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: can go from three million to two hundred and eighty 292 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: million in the course of your time in Congress, pretty 293 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: amazing anyway.

There's still the Harris Biden economic hangover that 305 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: that's going to change, and by second quarter is my prediction, 306 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: you're going to see traumatic change. Certainly, the shutdown didn't 307 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: help a lot of industry, which could hurt in the 308 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: short term GDP et cetera, et cetera. But look, if 309 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: you're in this this spiral, this downward spiral of debt accumulation, 310 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: and you're putting bare necessities on high interest credit cards 311 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty five percent interest rates, you have 312 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 1: got to break this cycle.

We don't wake up every morning and say ah, 376 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: ah another day. I live in freedom and liberty, and 377 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: I want to give thanks. We don't, but we take. 378 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: There are introspective, quieter moments when you realize how much, 379 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: how much, how high the cost has been, and how 380 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: many people have paid that cost so we can pursue 381 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: our dreams and live out the life that God intended 382 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: us to live out in freedom. And freedom's not free. 383 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: Our friend, to Coda Meyer, writing on Substack, you know, 384 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: put out a statement for today Veterans day. What makes 385 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: our veterans different is the oath they take. They put 386 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: on the nation's cloth and make a promise all the 387 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: way up, you know, to the cost of their lives, 388 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: to stand for people, not politics, not one party, not 389 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: one ideology. Every veteran raised their hand knowing they might 390 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: have to walk toward danger so others wouldn't have to 391 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: no one I serve with that wore the uniform, you know, 392 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: for Republicans and Democrats. They fought for good over evil, 393 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 1: they fought for freedom over fear. They fought to protect 394 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: those who couldn't protect themselves. That's the heart of service. 395 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: It is in theory, it isn't talk. It's real men 396 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: and women who left their families, their comfort, sometimes their lives. 397 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: They did it out of duty, out of honor, and 398 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: out of belief in the worth of every American life. 399 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: And Veteran's Day reminds us of that promise, the courage 400 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: to stand in the gap for others, the conviction that 401 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: service is bigger than self, and the principle that people 402 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: will always matter more than politics. That's what a veteran is. 403 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: That's why this day is sacred now. Yesterday, by the way, 404 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,959 Speaker 1: it was the two hundred and fiftieth birthday, honoring our 405 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: anniversary of the Marine Corps simplified my buddy Ali North 406 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: for one my other buddy, Captain Howie, I gave him 407 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: a shout out last night on TV.

You know, you try to be silent professionals, right, 432 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 5: I mean as a veteran, I didn't do it because 433 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 5: I needed people to thank me or I didn't do it. 434 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 5: I did it because I love people, and I love 435 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 5: this country and I love everything about it. And you know, 436 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 5: but I owe it to the world to also give 437 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 5: a perspective that comes from, you know, a place of knowing, right, 438 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 5: a place of I have. I have the sacred knowledge 439 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 5: I went to combat. I got to see truly the 440 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 5: possibility of what the potential and every human being out there, 441 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 5: and so you know, to be able to write it 442 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 5: and to be able to remind people what veterans are, 443 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 5: you know, I think we we've gotten away from it 444 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 5: because there's not a ton of veterans out there. You 445 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 5: only know the military, you only know the nation's cost. 446 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 5: You only know what people that serve this country do 447 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 5: if you have them in the vicinity of your family, 448 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 5: right and there's not an a ton of them out 449 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 5: there right now, and so we've got to go out 450 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: there and remind people of what veterans are. What it is. 451 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 5: It's not just a day of discounts, you know, it's 452 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 5: a day of recognizing the most valuable population of people 453 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 5: that we have in this country. 454 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: You're a Medal of Honor recipient. What happened back in 455 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: two thousand and nine in Afghanistan. 456 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 5: You know, we were going into a valley. We were 457 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 5: in a place called the Kunar Province, and I was 458 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 5: in I was east of the Cornwall Valley, a very 459 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 5: notorious valley, and we were going into Ganjagal and I 460 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 5: was on an embedded training team. So we had four 461 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 5: US and eighty Afghans that you know, we were basically 462 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 5: training the Afghan National Army and embedded with them. We'd 463 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 5: gone into this village. The village elders had said they 464 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 5: wanted to renounce themselves from the Taliban. I got left 465 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 5: back with my truck and with another driver, and then 466 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 5: my team had gone in. I'd been replaced that day 467 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 5: with another guy, Gunnery Sarn Johnson. It was the first 468 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 5: day that I had ever not been with my team, 469 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 5: and they ran that mission, went in and I mean 470 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 5: it was just the enemy always gets say and so 471 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 5: you know, over six hours, my team had ended up 472 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 5: being trapped inside this we call it a kill sack, 473 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 5: inside this valley, and I couldn't just sit back and 474 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 5: not do anything. And so me and my driver, you know, 475 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 5: we made five, four or five trips. I don't know 476 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 5: the exact number, but I was kept making trip after 477 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 5: trip in trying to find the team and to get 478 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 5: everybody out because they were all stuck in there. And 479 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 5: so then you know, after five or six hours, my 480 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 5: team had ultimately had had been killed and overran by 481 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 5: by the Taliban. 482 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the moments like that, you just 483 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: you know, you're seeing your life flash before your eyes 484 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: and you're thinking that this could be it. 485 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 2: I assume. 486 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I didn't. I get asked all the time, 487 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 5: you know, did you think you were going to die? No, 488 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 5: I knew I was. I never thought. But but you know, 489 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 5: like Sean, I'm so lucky because every day for me 490 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 5: is a bonus day. I get to wake up every 491 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 5: day and I get to go do it again, and 492 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 5: I get to go out and I get to try 493 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 5: to make the world a better place and whatever perspective 494 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 5: that I could or whatever, you know, wherever I'm at, 495 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 5: I get to do that again. And so and I 496 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 5: got to serve this country. So yeah, I mean it 497 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 5: was it was definitely a day that I never thought 498 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 5: I would have made it out of that valley. 499 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 2: Well, thank god you did. And why did you re enlist? Now? 500 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 5: You know, I re enlisted because you know I had 501 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 5: more to give. I had more to give. I was. 502 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 5: I was talking to this group of Marines out at 503 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 5: Camp Pendleton one day and this sergeant stood up and 504 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 5: he said, he said, and he said to code, you know, 505 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 5: knowing what you know now, is it still worth serving? 506 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 5: And I'm going to tell you, if we ever make 507 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 5: it to where people don't believe that this country is 508 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 5: worth serving, we're going to have a huge issue. And 509 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 5: for me, I looked at him and I said, absolutely, absolutely, 510 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 5: it's worth serving. And I could tell that after that. 511 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 5: I believe the only thing that we owe the world 512 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 5: is to be who we say we are. And so 513 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 5: after that, I started to answer the next question they 514 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 5: had for me, and I stopped because I could feel 515 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 5: that they didn't feel that that was genuine. You know, 516 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,719 Speaker 5: they were all thinking, well, then why aren't you? And 517 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 5: so I told them I made a promise to them. 518 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,199 Speaker 5: I said, you know what, it's not right for me 519 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 5: to tell you it's worth serving. As I go home 520 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 5: and live in the comfort of my house, I'm not 521 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 5: making any sacrifices. You know, you're out here living this 522 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 5: every single day. And I said, so, what I'm going 523 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 5: to do is to show you. Now I just tell 524 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 5: you it's worth serving. I'm going to show you this 525 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 5: country is still worth serving. I'm going to do everything 526 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,959 Speaker 5: I can to re enlist. And so I re enlisted, 527 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 5: you know, and it took me a while. I got 528 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 5: back in. And then the other thing is, Sean, is 529 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 5: my daughters. You know, as a parent, we're always fighting 530 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 5: for influence of our kids. And I knew that my 531 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 5: daughters would either grow up reading about people like that 532 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 5: that were in the uniform, or they could grow up 533 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,439 Speaker 5: knowing them. And I knew that me going back in, 534 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 5: that my daughters would grow up surrounded by those types 535 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 5: of people. 536 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: Well, I got to tell you something on this Veterans Day. 537 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: We're honored to have you on this program.

I'm not a veteran. I serve in 558 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 7: the sons of the American Legion to my father's service, 559 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 7: and it's a wonderful thing. Just making sure that everyone 560 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 7: knows that our freedoms exist because there are men and 561 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 7: women that will put their lives on the line for 562 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 7: what we stand for in this country and part of 563 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 7: the brother threat right now. I left New York City 564 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 7: in nineteen ninety six, during the middle of Rudy's heyday, 565 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 7: when New York was actually getting much better. But the 566 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 7: problem we're going to have under this communists Over fifty 567 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 7: percent I read, sixty one percent of New York State's 568 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 7: budget comes from the taxes out of New York City. 569 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 7: And when, as you rightly say, all of the Wall 570 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 7: Street firms are fleeing to Texas and Florida, that tax 571 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 7: base is going to go away. Those people who can't 572 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 7: afford to leave are going to be smothered. And I 573 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 7: hate that we let the devil get a foothold in 574 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 7: my former home city. 575 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: But I hope a foothold they dominated. You know, it's 576 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,959 Speaker 1: funny you said this as an article in Today's New 577 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: York Post and it talks about bost income and how 578 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: many people have migrated out of New York. Over two 579 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: million New Yorkers have fled in the last decade. Now 580 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: get this, The accumulative adjusted gross income lost in New 581 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: York is five one hundred and seventeen point five billion 582 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: dollars that left. And I think that's a low estimate, 583 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: but I'm going with the estimate they put in there. 584 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: New Jersey's lost income is one hundred and seventy point 585 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 1: one billion and five hundred thousand people have left, and 586 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: just nearly a quarter of a million in the last 587 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: three years alone. And if you look at income losers 588 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: and winners, you know, the biggest losers are states like 589 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: New York, California, Minnesota, Illinois, and other Northeastern states New Jersey. 590 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: The biggest gainer is Florida, where we live. Next biggest 591 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: gainer is Texas. You know, I mean, I can't help stupid. 592 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: Now there's some people say, are you've given up? I 593 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: haven't given I I just realized, you know that stupid prevails, 594 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: and I'm not going to be stupid with you. Eight 595 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: hundred nine four one shot on number.
