WEBVTT - Violence Erupts Again for Turning Point USA

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, news, round up, Information overload hour. Here's a

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>toll free telephone number if you want to be a

0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:07.440
<v Speaker 1>part of the program. It is eight hundred ninety four one,

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>Shawn if you want to join us. I mean, it

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>is so beyond repulsive, especially in light of everything that

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:19.639
<v Speaker 1>has gone on and everything happened in the assassination of

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Kirk. But it was a complete Adam shift show.

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>At UC Berkeley last night, a bloody brawl broke out

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 1>near the university ahead of the Turning Point USA event

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.959
<v Speaker 1>on campus. The event featured doctor Frank Torek, He's been

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:40.120
<v Speaker 1>on both my radio and TV show and Rob Schneider

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>and marked the end of this is the Turning Point

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 1>tour and they'll be announcing of new events coming up shortly.

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.879
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't that long ago that Charlie Kirk was assassinated

0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>at a campus event in Utah on September tenth. Now

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 1>this erupted a brawl, two men seen inviting each other,

0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, then we see the same thing the

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Antifa crowd, the you know, Palestinian flags, the chanting I

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>mean does and then conflicts with the police. On top

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 1>of it, we have some tape of it. Let's play it.

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Und fashion in the man.

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>I have been saying that this is nothing but dehumanization incitement.

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I keep going back to the Democrats, the constant refrain.

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>It was their closing argument in twenty four Nazi fascist

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>racist Hitler Stalin Mzsolini. And it is having an impact.

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what part of assassination culture have these people

0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>not gotten the message about? Anyway? Here, he was there

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>last night. He's become a friend of the program. Mikey McCoy,

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he's the chief. He was the chief of staff to

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Kirk, but he's now the chief of staff at

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Turning Point USA. He has a first hand account of

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>what happened at UC Berkeley last night. You might recall

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>that it's his father, Pastor Rob McCoy, who married Charlie

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and Erica. And I've become pretty close to his dad,

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think he is light years ahead of his father.

0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>And your dad is an israel And you can pass

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 1>on that.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.639
<v Speaker 3>I said that, Yeah, I must have missed the radical

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 3>memo that went out from Antifa here because there's something

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 3>about doctor Frank Kirk and Rob Schneider, the comedian that

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 3>this doesn't strike me as radical here, and so for

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:41.800
<v Speaker 3>some reason.

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 4>These two speakers particularly were the reason why these radical

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 4>leftist INTIFA members came out of the woodwork to just protest,

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 4>but also to try to terrify our attendees and attack them.

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 4>You played the clip of the gentleman wearing a freedom

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 4>T shirt, which is the shirt that Charlie was wearing

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 4>the day that he was assassinated, and for some reason

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 4>that's a sign of hate, and so Antifa attacked him,

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 4>flipped over all of his stuff, attacked him. He was

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 4>bleeding on the ground. Police had to get involved, and

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 4>we had our attendees spat on. They were attacked, they

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 4>were flipped off, they were making fun of the assassination

0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 4>of Charlie Kirk as for some reason, this is what

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 4>the left does. But this is also just kind of

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 4>a warrant sign for us, just with the radical lefts

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 4>proclivity to violence. Where given the opportunity to pick between

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 4>what we see inside of the building, which was our

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.559
<v Speaker 4>group of people peacefully gathering, reaching across the aisle, celebrating America.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Rob Schneider cracking jokes, Frank Turk giving a recount of

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 4>his friend Charlie Kirk Frank is an incredible man. He

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>happened to be there that day in Utah. But you

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 4>see inside versus outside, we are team civilization and they

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 4>are team destruction. We reach across the aisle, we invite

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 4>disagreements to the front of the line. Outside, they want

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.320
<v Speaker 4>to beat you up. They have no interest in having

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 4>a conversation with you. They only have interest in the

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 4>destruction of every single American value and anything that has

0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 4>American conservatism written on it. But at TPUSA, we like

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 4>to go straight into the line stend. We knew this

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.719
<v Speaker 4>was this was going to be facing us at UC Berkeley,

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 4>but Charlie never let this stuff scare him, and it's

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 4>not going to scare us now. And so we're going

0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 4>to continue this work. This happened to be our last

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 4>campus stop of this tour season, but we're going to

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.280
<v Speaker 4>continue it again in our next campus tour, and we're

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.880
<v Speaker 4>going to go to even more radical schools. But this

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 4>is something that we need to just kind of put

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 4>a flag on. Is the left for coluidity to violence.

0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:47.760
<v Speaker 4>And you said it perfectly, Sean. This is it's assassination

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 4>culture and and it's continuing on the left that they

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 4>think that political violence is okay. Political violence is not

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 4>okay ever, period and stop. And this is a big

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 4>confused to me. But what we saw last night is

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 4>just a perfect example of the last in where they're

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.480
<v Speaker 4>headed not only as a party but as a cultural movement.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, one of the things that I said,

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is amazing about you. You know, by the way,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>I was kidding about your dad. I've become very fond

0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>of him, and I know how much he loves you

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and how proud he is of you and.

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Your dad.

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I just I just happen to know is on a

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.839
<v Speaker 1>trip in Israel. I believe he's accepting an award for

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Charlie on Charlie's behalf. But what I love about all

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 1>of you, and you're young to me. I know you

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>probably don't look at yourself and say I'm very young. No,

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>at least I didn't when I was your age. But

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it takes an enormous amount of courage to

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>do what Charlie did and what all of you continued

0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>to do in light of what happened to Charlie. And

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that is you know you're going into these hostile environments.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>You know you're saying things that sadly are not often

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 1>and uttered on college campuses. You're talking about, Hey, maybe

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, you want to recognize that human beings are

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>of mind, body, and spirit. Maybe you want to get

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>back in church. Maybe you want to reject hook up culture.

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you don't want to go to prap parties every

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Friday Saturday night, and you know, be the kid throwing

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>up in the bushes. And the most amazing part of

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>it is you've been able to get young people to

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>not only think, but to join in and say, you

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.200
<v Speaker 1>know what, Gee, I feel validated in my views. I

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>thank god there's a group that I can now, you know,

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.799
<v Speaker 1>join and be a part of where people share these values. Yeah.

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I think Erica Kirk a couple of weeks ago, at

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.039
<v Speaker 4>her speech at Ole miss named us the courageous generation,

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 4>and I think that that was just it hit the

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.400
<v Speaker 4>nail on the head of what we are as young people,

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 4>as a generation, as a whole is we're facing a

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.119
<v Speaker 4>massive crossroads. And Charlie was our advocate in our hero

0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 4>and he oftentimes would just advocate for getting married young,

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 4>having more kids than you can afford, thinking the right

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 4>choice every single time, even though all your friends are

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 4>going out to have frat parties or time and again

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:12.679
<v Speaker 4>making the wrong decision.

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 5>You can make the right decision.

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 4>You can take accountability for your life. You can go

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 4>to church, you can have more children than you can afford.

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 4>You can get married young, even though all the rules

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 4>tell you not to do that in society. And so

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 4>Erica hit the nail on the head. We are the

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 4>courageous generation. We're very courageous, but we're also just a

0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 4>little bit hopeless. And so there's a lot of challenges

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 4>facing young people. With college debt being at an all

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 4>time high. You see for the first time ever college

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 4>graduates is from fifty eight percent of college graduates are

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 4>unemployed in their first year of graduating. And you see

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 4>the same unemployment rate for young men graduating of the

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.200
<v Speaker 4>same age of graduating seniors. Of young men and non

0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.280
<v Speaker 4>graduating seniors have the exact same unemployment rate. Then you

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.240
<v Speaker 4>have crushing student debt, these buy now, pay later programs

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 4>against young people, the labor market shrinking, illegal migration being

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 4>poured in under the Biden administration to take jobs of

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 4>young people, and so they see all these challenges against them.

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 4>First time home buyers in the United States is at

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.680
<v Speaker 4>forty years old. The median purchase of a home buyer

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 4>sixty one years old. And so these young people are

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 4>seeing all these challenges facing them and it's really easy

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 4>to pick, you know, the easy way out, which for

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 4>young people. You saw a couple of weeks ago was

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 4>Mom Donnie in New York. How you saw this massive

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 4>victory for him, and that was because young people heard

0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.040
<v Speaker 4>him say and promise solutions. And he can smile and

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 4>he can say a solution. He may not act on it,

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 4>and it may be just socialism with a smile, but

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 4>young people see that and they want to vote for it.

0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 4>That's why you saw seven percent of somewhat conservative voters

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 4>in New York City and nine percent of conservative voters

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 4>in New York City that are young vote for Mom

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:57.319
<v Speaker 4>Donnie because they need some sort of economic reality change

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 4>in the under thirty camp before rat political you know,

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 4>radicalization sets in. And this is also what you're seeing

0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.319
<v Speaker 4>with young people. There's a YouGov pull that came out

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.960
<v Speaker 4>recently that said eighteen to thirty six year old think

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 4>that political violence is okay, and we need to push

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 4>back against that. That's where we're doing every single day

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 4>at Turning Point USA. We're trying to give the alternative

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 4>solution to political radicalization. I mean three of the political

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.439
<v Speaker 4>of the political assassins in the United States in the

0:09:27.480 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 4>past twelve months have been gen z. This is a

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 4>warning sign for our generation. We need to take accountability

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 4>and we need to make the right choices because our

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.959
<v Speaker 4>hero was Trelie Kirk and he always led us the

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 4>right way, and now that he's gone, we need to

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.280
<v Speaker 4>remember what he said and we need to take accountability

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.840
<v Speaker 4>for our life. Show up at Turning Point USA events,

0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.840
<v Speaker 4>listen to what your leaders have to say on the right.

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 4>And we are the courageous generation. We need to find

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 4>our hope again. We need to find our meaning in

0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.560
<v Speaker 4>life again. And there's nothing that can stop our generation

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:01.440
<v Speaker 4>from achieving greatness in this country, saving this country if

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 4>we just find the right ways to do it.

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Can I just ask you a personal question for our

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.200
<v Speaker 1>audience's sake, how old are you, Mikey?

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.160
<v Speaker 4>I'm twenty four years old.

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.959
<v Speaker 2>It really takes my breath away.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>And I told you something privately when I saw you

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and you were on the TV show when I was

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>in d C. And that was the day that the

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:26.480
<v Speaker 1>President gave the Medal of Freedom to Charlie Boy, I'm

0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>tripling down on my bet my prediction about you. You

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>are spectacularly wise, beyond your years, incredibly courageous. I know

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>how proud your dad is of you, and I listened

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>to you in awe. I wish I had the wisdom

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>you have when I was your age.

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm sitting on.

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I get to hear from a lot of you at

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Turning Point, and I'm just clapping and cheering the whole

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>way and praying for your safety and God's will be

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.640
<v Speaker 1>done through all of you, because it really is God's work.

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 1>You're hopefully going to save this generation. And I couldn't

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>be more thankful but what you all do and the

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>courage that you all show, and I'm very appreciative of it,

0:11:12.880 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and I see great things in your future.

0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>My friend.

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.040
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much, Sean, thank you for having me

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 4>on and continuing the platform Charlie's life and legacy and

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:22.600
<v Speaker 4>our mission at Turning Point USA. We're going to fight

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:27.120
<v Speaker 4>tirelessly to honor Charlie and his life that he lived well.

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Got godspeed, and We'll always be here if we can

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>help in any way anyway. Mikey McCoy. Thank you from

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:36.320
<v Speaker 1>Turning Point USA. Eight hundred and nine four one sean.

<v Speaker 1>and let's get to our busy, busy telephones here, eight

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the program. David and Alabama, David, Hi,

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>how are you? What's going on?

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Sir?

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm will Sean, Thank you and Greece from a great

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.760
<v Speaker 6>state of Alabama. Love to have you back anytime. Two

0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.000
<v Speaker 6>quick comments and then I'd like I have a possible

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 6>I think a real workable solution to the next government

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.840
<v Speaker 6>shutdown which has gone on happen one. The Democrats don't

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.719
<v Speaker 6>care about constituency. They don't care about them. They care

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.640
<v Speaker 6>because they know they've got that forty percent lockdown.

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:10.320
<v Speaker 2>The fact that.

0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 6>They mcdonmie had a D buy his name. They'd vote

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 6>for Hitler if he had a D by his name,

0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 6>And it doesn't matter. They care about their party. Party

0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 6>comes first to Democrats, not constituency, not the people back home.

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 6>Then it's the people that donate the money to be

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 6>big insurance companies. But now Schumer is basically mad because

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 6>he's wanting the Republican Party to bail them out of

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 6>the things You've been saying for years, what's going to

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 6>happen with Obamacare? You know, it's going to be over

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 6>for it's not gonna be enough money, it's going to

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 6>cost a fortune, and all those things. Now they're wanting

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.880
<v Speaker 6>the Republicans to bail them out of their short sightedness?

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 7>Is that?

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 2>You know? I keep quoting Marksimonios today.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.560
<v Speaker 1>It's the Affordable Care Act officially known as the Affordable

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.839
<v Speaker 1>Care Act. If it's so affordable, why do you need

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 1>the subsidies in perpetuity? That affordable? And then OZ gave

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>us the real numbers. You know, first of all, there's

0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fraud, waste, fraud and abuse that they've identified.

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:11.079
<v Speaker 1>They've identified, you know, a ton of illegal immigrants in

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the program. They've identified people that don't even know they

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>have it, that never use it. I went through the

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.560
<v Speaker 1>numbers the insurance companies. You know, I have outperformed like

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>other SMP companies by by four times what they've made

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>over the last you know, since Obamacare was implemented.

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 2>But what did I warn? What happened?

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>They would they would make these promises then they would

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>never fulfill them.

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 2>And I wish I was wrong. I wish it worked.

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:40.679
<v Speaker 1>It never was going to work because government doesn't run

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>very much efficiently at all. And that's why I urge

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>you in this audience don't buy their lie. You know,

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>if you think this is bad, the people that rated

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.400
<v Speaker 1>the lock box, the social security, the people that screwed

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:58.239
<v Speaker 1>up our school systems, the people that want to reimagine

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the police and defund and no l if you think

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 1>those people are capable of running anything efficiently, they're not.

0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>And for them it's about power, and their power is

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>your dependency.

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll give you the last.

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 6>Word and a real quick fix, you know, to what

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 6>could happen if the Republicans could get, you know, develop

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:21.000
<v Speaker 6>some testicular fortitude, just come up with pass the law

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 6>that five months after election day, if they don't have

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 6>a bill passed to run the government, they don't get paid. Congress, Senate,

0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 6>none of them get paid, none of their people who

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 6>working there for and they don't get back paid. I

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 6>guarantee they would be incentivized to pass a bill that

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.960
<v Speaker 6>would get the government paid. Then they can do all

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.440
<v Speaker 6>their pedally squabbling the other way. But having them develop

0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 6>the testicular fortitude to do it. You know, that's that's

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 6>going to be the kicker. But it came.

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, there are a lot of Republicans that didn't take

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a check during this period. Some are not gonna get

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:56.600
<v Speaker 1>back paid for the very reasons you've outlined. But for

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people in Congress, believe it or not,

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>this is the most money we are ever going.

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 2>To make in their life. Which I ought to tell

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>you something.

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.760
<v Speaker 6>Well, that is all right, the insider trading.

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Alright, Well, you know, if only we could get a

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.640
<v Speaker 1>seventeen thousand percent although Nancy Pelosi dies, it denies it

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>a return on money's invested. If only your net worth

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>can go from three million to two hundred and eighty

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.640
<v Speaker 1>million in the course of your time in Congress, pretty

0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>amazing anyway. Eight hundred and nine foot one, Shawn our number.

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 1>If you want to be a part of the program.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, when we come back, we will check in

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:35.280

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred and nine point one Sean, if you want

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of the program. Yeah, we went

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>over at earlier economic indicators moving, but is everybody feeling

0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>it now? There's still the Harris Biden economic hangover that

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 1>that's going to change, and by second quarter is my prediction,

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you're going to see traumatic change. Certainly, the shutdown didn't

0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.080
<v Speaker 1>help a lot of industry, which could hurt in the

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:45.720
<v Speaker 1>short term GDP et cetera, et cetera. But look, if

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you're in this this spiral, this downward spiral of debt accumulation,

0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and you're putting bare necessities on high interest credit cards

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty one to twenty five percent interest rates, you have

0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 1>got to break this cycle. You will never get out

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 1>of it if you don't. If you are a homeowner,

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I urge you to make a free, no pressure, no

0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.320
<v Speaker 1>obligation call to my friends at Americanfinancing dot net. Why

0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.760
<v Speaker 1>because right now they are saving people like you an

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 1>average of eight hundred dollars a month. They have now

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>they're seeing rates in the fives. Is game changing, and

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 1>their average customers saving over eight hundred bucks a month.

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a ten thousand dollars a year raise. That could

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 1>be the difference between continuing to spiral into more and

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>more debt or you know, getting in the black, adding

0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>out of debt and not accumulating anymore. You know, you

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.840

<v Speaker 2>Navy corpseman is definitely my favorite.

0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:33.679
<v Speaker 1>I think I hammered that to death because I just

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>couldn't get over the fact that he's the commander in

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>chief and doesn't know what a corman is.

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.359

<v Speaker 2>And in Creole a corpse.

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 9>Member Shard responded in Tanzini the United States of America.

0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay.

0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>If he didn't say it like three times, you would think, oh, okay,

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.399
<v Speaker 1>maybe just miss pronounced that he's reading a teleprompter. But

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.080
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't know the difference that was obvious.

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:06.399
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 1>You just think of all of the sacrifice, all of

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the My father four years in the Pacific not the

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 1>four best years in his life.

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Amazing. I used to.

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Ask question after a question, after a question, I want

0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>to know about, Well, did you see the battle?

0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 6>Dad?

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Did you see this? And he never wanted to talk

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I had an uncle that if a plane flew over

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 1>his house instinctively because he served in World War Two.

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, my family told me I never saw it myself,

0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:34.800
<v Speaker 1>but they told me that he would literally just roll

0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.680
<v Speaker 1>out of his bed and roll underneath the bed. I mean,

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 1>it's unbelievable. And think of World War one, World War two,

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, Vietnam, you think of the War on Terror.

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it just is the sacrifice that so many

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>have made for liberties and freedoms that we all take

0:19:52.880 --> 0:19:55.440
<v Speaker 1>for granted. We don't wake up every morning and say ah,

0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>ah another day. I live in freedom and liberty, and

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to give thanks. We don't, but we take.

0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>There are introspective, quieter moments when you realize how much,

0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>how much, how high the cost has been, and how

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.560
<v Speaker 1>many people have paid that cost so we can pursue

0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>our dreams and live out the life that God intended

0:20:13.960 --> 0:20:17.600
<v Speaker 1>us to live out in freedom. And freedom's not free.

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Our friend, to Coda Meyer, writing on Substack, you know,

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 1>put out a statement for today Veterans day. What makes

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 1>our veterans different is the oath they take. They put

0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>on the nation's cloth and make a promise all the

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 1>way up, you know, to the cost of their lives,

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>to stand for people, not politics, not one party, not

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>one ideology. Every veteran raised their hand knowing they might

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.800
<v Speaker 1>have to walk toward danger so others wouldn't have to

0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>no one I serve with that wore the uniform, you know,

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.800
<v Speaker 1>for Republicans and Democrats. They fought for good over evil,

0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:57.880
<v Speaker 1>they fought for freedom over fear. They fought to protect

0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>those who couldn't protect themselves. That's the heart of service.

0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It is in theory, it isn't talk. It's real men

0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:09.640
<v Speaker 1>and women who left their families, their comfort, sometimes their lives.

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 1>They did it out of duty, out of honor, and

0:21:12.920 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>out of belief in the worth of every American life.

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 1>And Veteran's Day reminds us of that promise, the courage

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to stand in the gap for others, the conviction that

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 1>service is bigger than self, and the principle that people

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>will always matter more than politics. That's what a veteran is.

0:21:34.119 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 1>That's why this day is sacred now. Yesterday, by the way,

0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:40.959
<v Speaker 1>it was the two hundred and fiftieth birthday, honoring our

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>anniversary of the Marine Corps simplified my buddy Ali North

0:21:46.760 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 1>for one my other buddy, Captain Howie, I gave him

0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>a shout out last night on TV. But Dakota Meyer,

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.439
<v Speaker 1>US Marine in his own right, Medal of Honor recipient

0:21:56.520 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>honored for his heroism for a battle in Afghanistan going

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>back to two thousand and nine. One of the youngest

0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:08.199
<v Speaker 1>school trained snipers in Marine Corps history, he deployed to

0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Iraq in two thousand and seven, Afghanistan two thousand and nine,

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:14.919
<v Speaker 1>and ten this year. Fifteen years after leaving active duty,

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.400
<v Speaker 1>he re enlisted in the Marine Corps and he continues

0:22:18.680 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 1>his commitment to service as a firefighter, first responder, and

0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:24.639
<v Speaker 1>father of two. You know, we don't wake up every day.

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:27.479
<v Speaker 1>We're all wrapped up and I got a shovel, coffee

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 1>down my throat, Get my kids off the school, pack

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.320
<v Speaker 1>of lunch, give them money, drive them, you know, go

0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>put in my twelve fourteen hours, come home, do homework,

0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.399
<v Speaker 1>cook dinner. You know it's everyone has busy lives, but

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:43.199
<v Speaker 1>when we get reflective and quiet and introspective, none of

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:45.159
<v Speaker 1>this is possible without all of you.

0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, welcome back to CODA.

0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:48.640
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, sir, Thank you for having me.

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Well talk about what made you write this, because it

0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>really touched me.

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, I I for a long time, I've tried

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 5>to just lead through my actions, and I've tried to

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.919
<v Speaker 5>get out there and put these words in this perspective

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 5>out there. You know, you try to be silent professionals, right,

0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean as a veteran, I didn't do it because

0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 5>I needed people to thank me or I didn't do it.

0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:11.720
<v Speaker 5>I did it because I love people, and I love

0:23:11.800 --> 0:23:14.879
<v Speaker 5>this country and I love everything about it. And you know,

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:18.000
<v Speaker 5>but I owe it to the world to also give

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:22.440
<v Speaker 5>a perspective that comes from, you know, a place of knowing, right,

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.600
<v Speaker 5>a place of I have. I have the sacred knowledge

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 5>I went to combat. I got to see truly the

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:31.600
<v Speaker 5>possibility of what the potential and every human being out there,

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 5>and so you know, to be able to write it

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:35.640
<v Speaker 5>and to be able to remind people what veterans are,

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.320
<v Speaker 5>you know, I think we we've gotten away from it

0:23:38.880 --> 0:23:40.760
<v Speaker 5>because there's not a ton of veterans out there. You

0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:43.160
<v Speaker 5>only know the military, you only know the nation's cost.

0:23:43.520 --> 0:23:46.200
<v Speaker 5>You only know what people that serve this country do

0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 5>if you have them in the vicinity of your family,

0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:51.200
<v Speaker 5>right and there's not an a ton of them out

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:53.200
<v Speaker 5>there right now, and so we've got to go out

0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 5>there and remind people of what veterans are. What it is.

0:23:56.280 --> 0:23:59.520
<v Speaker 5>It's not just a day of discounts, you know, it's

0:23:59.560 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 5>a day of recognizing the most valuable population of people

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:05.280
<v Speaker 5>that we have in this country.

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 1>You're a Medal of Honor recipient. What happened back in

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:11.560
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine in Afghanistan.

0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:14.439
<v Speaker 5>You know, we were going into a valley. We were

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 5>in a place called the Kunar Province, and I was

0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:20.920
<v Speaker 5>in I was east of the Cornwall Valley, a very

0:24:20.960 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 5>notorious valley, and we were going into Ganjagal and I

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 5>was on an embedded training team. So we had four

0:24:26.880 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 5>US and eighty Afghans that you know, we were basically

0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 5>training the Afghan National Army and embedded with them. We'd

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:37.679
<v Speaker 5>gone into this village. The village elders had said they

0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:41.399
<v Speaker 5>wanted to renounce themselves from the Taliban. I got left

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 5>back with my truck and with another driver, and then

0:24:45.280 --> 0:24:48.400
<v Speaker 5>my team had gone in. I'd been replaced that day

0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:51.240
<v Speaker 5>with another guy, Gunnery Sarn Johnson. It was the first

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 5>day that I had ever not been with my team,

0:24:54.200 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 5>and they ran that mission, went in and I mean

0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:00.639
<v Speaker 5>it was just the enemy always gets say and so

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 5>you know, over six hours, my team had ended up

0:25:04.480 --> 0:25:07.359
<v Speaker 5>being trapped inside this we call it a kill sack,

0:25:07.760 --> 0:25:10.560
<v Speaker 5>inside this valley, and I couldn't just sit back and

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 5>not do anything. And so me and my driver, you know,

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 5>we made five, four or five trips. I don't know

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 5>the exact number, but I was kept making trip after

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 5>trip in trying to find the team and to get

0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:24.000
<v Speaker 5>everybody out because they were all stuck in there. And

0:25:24.040 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 5>so then you know, after five or six hours, my

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:32.679
<v Speaker 5>team had ultimately had had been killed and overran by

0:25:33.280 --> 0:25:34.080
<v Speaker 5>by the Taliban.

0:25:35.400 --> 0:25:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, the moments like that, you just

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:40.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're seeing your life flash before your eyes

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and you're thinking that this could be it.

0:25:42.320 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I assume.

0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I didn't. I get asked all the time,

0:25:45.520 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 5>you know, did you think you were going to die? No,

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 5>I knew I was. I never thought. But but you know,

0:25:50.760 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 5>like Sean, I'm so lucky because every day for me

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:56.880
<v Speaker 5>is a bonus day. I get to wake up every

0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 5>day and I get to go do it again, and

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:00.320
<v Speaker 5>I get to go out and I get to try

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.399
<v Speaker 5>to make the world a better place and whatever perspective

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 5>that I could or whatever, you know, wherever I'm at,

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:08.320
<v Speaker 5>I get to do that again. And so and I

0:26:08.359 --> 0:26:10.679
<v Speaker 5>got to serve this country. So yeah, I mean it

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.480
<v Speaker 5>was it was definitely a day that I never thought

0:26:13.520 --> 0:26:15.640
<v Speaker 5>I would have made it out of that valley.

0:26:16.240 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, thank god you did. And why did you re enlist? Now?

0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:25.160
<v Speaker 5>You know, I re enlisted because you know I had

0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 5>more to give. I had more to give. I was.

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 5>I was talking to this group of Marines out at

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.680
<v Speaker 5>Camp Pendleton one day and this sergeant stood up and

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:36.040
<v Speaker 5>he said, he said, and he said to code, you know,

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 5>knowing what you know now, is it still worth serving?

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.320
<v Speaker 5>And I'm going to tell you, if we ever make

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:45.280
<v Speaker 5>it to where people don't believe that this country is

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:49.160
<v Speaker 5>worth serving, we're going to have a huge issue. And

0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 5>for me, I looked at him and I said, absolutely, absolutely,

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 5>it's worth serving. And I could tell that after that.

0:26:57.640 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 5>I believe the only thing that we owe the world

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.879
<v Speaker 5>is to be who we say we are. And so

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 5>after that, I started to answer the next question they

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:07.920
<v Speaker 5>had for me, and I stopped because I could feel

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:09.679
<v Speaker 5>that they didn't feel that that was genuine. You know,

0:27:09.680 --> 0:27:13.719
<v Speaker 5>they were all thinking, well, then why aren't you? And

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 5>so I told them I made a promise to them.

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:17.199
<v Speaker 5>I said, you know what, it's not right for me

0:27:17.280 --> 0:27:19.320
<v Speaker 5>to tell you it's worth serving. As I go home

0:27:19.320 --> 0:27:21.120
<v Speaker 5>and live in the comfort of my house, I'm not

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:25.080
<v Speaker 5>making any sacrifices. You know, you're out here living this

0:27:25.200 --> 0:27:27.439
<v Speaker 5>every single day. And I said, so, what I'm going

0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:29.399
<v Speaker 5>to do is to show you. Now I just tell

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:30.919
<v Speaker 5>you it's worth serving. I'm going to show you this

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 5>country is still worth serving. I'm going to do everything

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:35.959
<v Speaker 5>I can to re enlist. And so I re enlisted,

0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, and it took me a while. I got

0:27:37.400 --> 0:27:40.040
<v Speaker 5>back in. And then the other thing is, Sean, is

0:27:40.440 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 5>my daughters. You know, as a parent, we're always fighting

0:27:43.600 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 5>for influence of our kids. And I knew that my

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:50.240
<v Speaker 5>daughters would either grow up reading about people like that

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 5>that were in the uniform, or they could grow up

0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.439
<v Speaker 5>knowing them. And I knew that me going back in,

0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:56.720
<v Speaker 5>that my daughters would grow up surrounded by those types

0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:57.159
<v Speaker 5>of people.

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:01.040

<v Speaker 7>I'm fine, Sean. Thank you so much for taking my

<v Speaker 7>call them Before I get into my point, God bless

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.959
<v Speaker 7>Dakota and all our veterans. Is I'm the son of them.

0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Guys are amazing. It's so good.

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:53.560
<v Speaker 1>I just want to take a minute and just thank them.

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they don't get enough credit for what they've done.

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I serve. I'm not a veteran. I serve in

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 7>the sons of the American Legion to my father's service,

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 7>and it's a wonderful thing. Just making sure that everyone

0:29:03.600 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 7>knows that our freedoms exist because there are men and

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 7>women that will put their lives on the line for

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:10.920
<v Speaker 7>what we stand for in this country and part of

0:29:10.920 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 7>the brother threat right now. I left New York City

0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:17.640
<v Speaker 7>in nineteen ninety six, during the middle of Rudy's heyday,

0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 7>when New York was actually getting much better. But the

0:29:21.120 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 7>problem we're going to have under this communists Over fifty

0:29:24.840 --> 0:29:27.160
<v Speaker 7>percent I read, sixty one percent of New York State's

0:29:27.200 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 7>budget comes from the taxes out of New York City.

0:29:30.520 --> 0:29:32.840
<v Speaker 7>And when, as you rightly say, all of the Wall

0:29:32.880 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 7>Street firms are fleeing to Texas and Florida, that tax

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 7>base is going to go away. Those people who can't

0:29:38.120 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 7>afford to leave are going to be smothered. And I

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.280
<v Speaker 7>hate that we let the devil get a foothold in

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.640
<v Speaker 7>my former home city.

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>But I hope a foothold they dominated. You know, it's

0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.959
<v Speaker 1>funny you said this as an article in Today's New

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:55.880
<v Speaker 1>York Post and it talks about bost income and how

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>many people have migrated out of New York. Over two

0:29:58.920 --> 0:30:02.800
<v Speaker 1>million New Yorkers have fled in the last decade. Now

0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:08.600
<v Speaker 1>get this, The accumulative adjusted gross income lost in New

0:30:08.680 --> 0:30:13.880
<v Speaker 1>York is five one hundred and seventeen point five billion

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 1>dollars that left. And I think that's a low estimate,

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going with the estimate they put in there.

0:30:20.560 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 1>New Jersey's lost income is one hundred and seventy point

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.960
<v Speaker 1>one billion and five hundred thousand people have left, and

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>just nearly a quarter of a million in the last

0:30:31.320 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 1>three years alone. And if you look at income losers

0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and winners, you know, the biggest losers are states like

0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>New York, California, Minnesota, Illinois, and other Northeastern states New Jersey.

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:51.120
<v Speaker 1>The biggest gainer is Florida, where we live. Next biggest

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>gainer is Texas. You know, I mean, I can't help stupid.

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Now there's some people say, are you've given up? I

0:30:57.920 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 1>haven't given I I just realized, you know that stupid prevails,

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:04.280
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not going to be stupid with you. Eight

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred nine four one shot on number. If you want

0:31:07.160 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of the program, that's going to

<v Speaker 1>and online, hopefully before Thanksgiving. Also we'll check in with
