00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: locals dot com. So Biden's press conference yesterday, it went

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: just about how you expect it to go. This is

45
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: not normal what you're about to hear. It's not normal,

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: and it's not good. Clip one. So the best way

47
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: to get something done if you if it holds near

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: and dear to you that you like to be able

49
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: to anyway, We're ready to get a lot done. And

50
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: if we have to, if there's complete lockdown and chaos

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: is a consequence of the filibuster, then we'll have to

52
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: go beyond what I'm talking about. Okay, um, hang on,

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: uh sorry, oh saying man this Kim So just saying no,

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: you are not allowed to ask any questions about the

55
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: president's mental health. You're not allowed to ask any question

56
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: How dare you ask any questions about the president's cognitive ability? Dimension? So,

57
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: here's how this is gonna work. Right now, it's only

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: fringe far right activists who are asking these questions, and

59
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: then soon it'll be more mainstream conservatives. We're gonna be

60
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: asking these questions, and then oh but as that's happening,

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: by the way, the left and the media will rip

62
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: these people to shreds. How dare you say anything about

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: the president's mental health? How dare you question his health?

64
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: You're emboldening the nation's enemies by suggesting he's not well

65
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: and unfit. How dare you that's so unpatriotic. You're gonna

66
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: hear the whole thing. And then more moderate conservatives are

67
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: going to start asking these questions, and then far left

68
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: activists are gonna outflank the right, come around on the

69
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: other flank to attack the President and his mental health.

70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: And the media is going to do the best they

71
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: can to hold this off for as long as they can,

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: and then one day something will happen and it will

73
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: be absolutely undeniable, and the Democrats who are really running

74
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: the show will throw old Joe out to pastures so

75
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: fast his key card to the Oval office. It just

76
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: won't work one day. Have you ever been fired, or

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: you know somebody's been fired and no one told them,

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: and you got your key card to get back in

79
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: the building, and then it just doesn't work. That's gonna

80
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: be Joe in the Oval office. No one's gonna no

81
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: one's even gonna tell him. And one days, maybe maybe

82
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: he'll sneak in. One day in Kama will be sitting

83
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: behind the desk. I don't know, but Como is gonna

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: be president and Joe is gonna be thrown out to

85
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: pasture and thrown down the memory hole like it never

86
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: even happened. So that's how it's gonna go. I don't

87
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: know the timing, but it's gonna be far right conspiracy theory,

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: far right hit job and just nothing, nothing, nothing, and

89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 1: then boom gone overnight, and Kama will fit right in.

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: Here's Chris Wallace. Yeah, I U and I have to

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: say I was also and by the fact that it

92
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: seemed gone every foreign policy question, not the others, but

93
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: on foreign policy, he went to his briefing book like

94
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: Jensaki does sometimes in the briefings, and was reading obviously

95
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: White House guidance, white House talking points covering Ronald Reagan

96
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: for six years. I never saw that. Watching a lot

97
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: of news conferences over the years, I've never seen that

98
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: a president and a news conference reading talking points. He

99
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: did that on it seemed every foreign policy. So here's

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: an example of that strike striking fear in the hearts

101
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: of our enemies, and you can't tell them the radio.

102
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: But he never looks up from his paper, not one

103
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: time does he look up from his paper? Here? Here

104
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: it is overnight. We learned that North Korea tested two

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: ballistic missiles. What if any actions will you take and

106
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: what is your red line on North Korea? Let me

107
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: say that number one UN Resolution seventeen eighteen was violated

108
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: by those particular missiles that were tested. We're consoling with

109
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: our allies and partners, and there will be responses if

110
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: they choose to escalate. Um, we will respond accordingly. But

111
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm also prepared um for some form of diplomacy. Um,

112
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: but it has to be conditioned upon the end result

113
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: of denuclearization. So um, that's what we're doing right now,

114
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: consoling with our allies. Like what is that? Like? Can

115
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: you believe that that's that's the That's the commander in

116
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: chief right that Ronnie Jackson, who is a Republican. He's

117
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: a congressman. He's a congressman running a guy. I think

118
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: he's a congressman from Texas. He was a Navy rear

119
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: admiral and he was the White House physician from twenty

120
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: thirteen throughout Obama's term until twenty eighteen hundred. Trumpsho was

121
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: the the White House physician, and he said after the

122
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: press conference that this press brief was embarrassing. Could you

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: imagine what the press would have done if Donald Trump

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: had told something like this shameful and embarrassing. And it's

125
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: hard to talk about here because if you do, you

126
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: immediately will be called out as being partisan and you're

127
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: so mean and how dare you? And that's fine, I

128
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: don't care. It's just a matter of time, Just a

129
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: matter of time. He's seventy eight, you think he's gonna

130
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: lastly he's eighty two. Maybe maybe he won't. But it

131
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: really just depends. It's all about the media. Depends about

132
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: the media. How much can his people hide him, how

133
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: much can his people hide him? And how much and

134
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: how long will the media cover for him? That's the question.

135
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson, Woodrow Wilson. This was nineteen twenty, So he

136
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: just spent nineteen nineteen negotiating the Treaty of Versailles the

137
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: end of World War One, spent six months doing that.

138
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: Then he was on this like barn burning tour to

139
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: try to get support for the League of Nations. So

140
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: he traveled by train, and he spoke train station at

141
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: train station and trains station all across the country. This

142
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: was the nineteen twenty and in between one of his speeches,

143
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: he got the splitting headache and his face started to twitch,

144
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: and his doctor, his chiefest staff, and everyone on board.

145
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: You know, it was obvious that he had a stroke.

146
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: So they called the whole rest of the thing off.

147
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: They went right back to DC as quickly as they could,

148
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: and his doctor and chief of staff. They kept him

149
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: in bed, away from everybody. He was paralyzed on his

150
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: left side, he couldn't see out of one of his eyes.

151
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: He was still president, and they kept him there for

152
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: a year. No one saw him except for his wife,

153
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: doctor in chief of staff. That's it. They pulled this

154
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: off for a year. Now this is nineteen twenty. Can

155
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: that same thing be pulled off in twenty twenty one,

156
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the media covered for Woodrow Wilson,

157
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: just like the media is covering today. There was one

158
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: report in particular's name is Lewis Cibold, sci Bold Lewis Cibold,

159
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: and he was the reporter of the New York World,

160
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: and he wrote this article. The headline is correspondent in

161
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties voice correspondent in three hour visit finds President's

162
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: mental vigor unimpaired by the same thing. With the Washington

163
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Post people today, they're like, oh, what a press conference. Wow,

164
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: that was amazing. He was quick and witty and on

165
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: it and high energy. Like what are you talking about?

166
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: Executive gains twenty pounds in two months, and he does

167
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: more work now than before confinement. That was the article

168
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: during the three hours. This is what Wilson. During the

169
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: three hours I spent with the president, I saw him

170
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: transact the important functions of his office with his old

171
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: time decisiveness method and keenness of intellectual appraisement the correspondent,

172
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 1: the reporter. I heard him dictate his decisions on matters

173
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: of great governmental importance with a facility of expression and

174
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: directness of meaning that indicated no impairment of the efficient

175
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: mental machine that is known only the hardest kind of

176
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: work for forty years. And this is where it goes

177
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: over the top. It was the same angular face, quite

178
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: as full in cheek and not the least sunken. At

179
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: the temples. There was the same face registered in a

180
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: mental picture eight months before. They were unmistakably the Wilson eyes, keen,

181
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: searching and snappily intelligent. The whole articles right there, All

182
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: of it was made up. Every single word of it

183
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: was made up. They never met Woodrow Wilson. Could not

184
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: walk again, his entire left side was paralyzed. His attention

185
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: span was about sixty seconds. He was not having Hours

186
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: of conversation did not happen. He couldn't sign anything properly,

187
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: he couldn't move properly. He coudn't do anything. This interview

188
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: was a total fake. Never happened. Wilson's Woodrow Wilson's chief

189
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: of staff made up all the answers. And here's the kicker.

190
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: Lewis Cybold, the writer of that article, won a Pulitzer

191
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Prize for it. This wasn't just one some hack article.

192
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: And this isn't just a guy who won the Pulitzer Prise.

193
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: He won a Pulitzerprise for that totally made up story,

194
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: protecting Woodrow Wilson for a year as he was paralyzed

195
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and in bed. So it's been done before. Every reporter

196
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: today covering Biden will try to pull a Lewis Cybold,

197
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: And as they're doing it, they're gonna know it's wrong,

198
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: but they're gonna keep doing it. And what's going to

199
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: motivate them. Is they think they're gonna win a Pulitzer

200
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: because of it? Who knows? These days, they're probably right.

201
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: Mike Slater filling in for Buck Sexton. Mike Slater dot

202
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: locals dot com. Spread the word, Hey, what's up, Team Buck?

203
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: Mike Slater, San Diego, filling in for Buck Sexton, Mike

204
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: Slater dot locals dot com. That's my website, Mike Slater

205
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: dot locals dot com. Everything's up there. So Biden in

206
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the press conference yesterday, he said, we're sending back the

207
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: vast majority of families that are coming. Vast majority. What

208
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: does vast majority mean to you? It's not just majorities.

209
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: Majority means fifty percent, So vast majority, that to me

210
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: means seventy eight percent or more. That's my end. That's

211
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: my number for eighty percent. Is that vast majority? Maybe

212
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: maybe I'll give you a sixty five Someone says sixty

213
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 1: five percent or more. Maybe that's fine. Thirteen percent and

214
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Biden world, that is vast majority thirteen percent. Axios came

215
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: back and reported that here is the as it end

216
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: on the detention centers. I realize it's much more heart

217
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: wrenching than it is to deal with a five and

218
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: six to seven year old. But you went down there

219
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: and you saw the vast majority of these children seventy

220
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: percent or sixteen years old, seventeen years old, mostly males.

221
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: Don don't making good better and different. But the idea

222
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: that we have tens of thousands of kids in these

223
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: god off of facilities that are really little babies crime

224
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: all night, there's some that's true. Oh jeesus, that is

225
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: obviously off script. The last segment we talked about him

226
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: reading off papers that was not read off of paper.

227
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: I'm sure as people were not happy about him admitting

228
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: that they're god awful facilities. Barack Obama and Joe Biden

229
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: built the original cages. Trump got rid of the cages,

230
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: He got rid of the need for cages, and Biden

231
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: brought them back. Biden said in the presser that nothing

232
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: has changed regarding border policy and that a surge happens

233
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: every single solitary year. Those are hits where its nothing

234
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: is changed regarding border policy. This is just your normal

235
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: every year spring surge. Not true on both counts. First

236
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: of all, there were no spring surges under Trump, so

237
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen every single year. But more importantly, here.

238
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: There were two policies that Biden changed, two massive policies.

239
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: And this is what I'm saying here is not a

240
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: partisan hit. These are absolute facts. Two policies. First, safe

241
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: third country is what it's technically called. So if you're

242
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: seeking asylum from Honduras or Brazil or wherever you seek it,

243
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: in the first safe country that you get to, you

244
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: don't get to go country shopping. If you're in Brazil

245
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: and you want to leave Brazil, you don't just get

246
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: to pick whatever country you want in the world to

247
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: go to and say, oh, America, and then you're entitled

248
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: to come America. That's not how that works. Trump enacted

249
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: the safe third country policy, So if you're leaving a country,

250
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: you're safe in the very first one you get to.

251
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: That's where you stay, and then you can apply to

252
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: come to America afterwards. But not on asylum. Trump and

253
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: acted that he negotiated that with the countries to our south.

254
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: How did he negotiate it? Money aid leverage? Years ago,

255
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: I remember talking on the radio about foreign aid and

256
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: I was asking why. I was genuinely asking why do

257
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: we give so much money to foreign countries? Why do

258
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: we have so much money to countries we hate. And

259
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: the best argument I heard and I just filed away

260
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: because I never really came up again until recently. The

261
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: best argument I heard was that this aid is leverage

262
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: that we have over other countries. Right, you do what

263
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: we want or else we're going to take away the aid.

264
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: It happens all the time. This is what Joe Biden

265
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: did with Ukraine to help his son Hunter, remember this clip.

266
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: And I had gotten a commitment from Porschenko and from

267
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor,

268
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: and they didn't. So they said they were walking out

269
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: to prescount said, Nah, said, I'm not going to go

270
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: or we're not going to give you the billion dollars.

271
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: They said, you have no authority, you're not the president.

272
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: The president said, I said, call him. I said, I'm

273
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: telling you're not getting the billion dollars. I said, you're

274
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: not getting the billion, and I'm gonna be leaving here.

275
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: And I think it was what six hours. I look

276
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: at I said, I'm leaving in six hours. If the

277
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: prosecutors not fired, you're not getting the money. Well, son

278
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: of a right, so do what we want or we'll

279
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: remove the billion dollars in aid. So Biden used it

280
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: to protect his son in Ukraine. That's leverage. Trump used

281
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: it to help the American people and stop a surge

282
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants for three plus years. And it should

283
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: be noted as well, if you look at the last

284
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: forty years, Donald Trump is number one, number three, and

285
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: number ten in granting asylum requests, number three, number one,

286
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: number three, and number ten in granting legal asylum requests

287
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: more than any other president. And Trump used leverage on

288
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: our foreign using our foreign aid in our southern the

289
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: southern countries to have this third Safe Country agreement, and

290
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: Biden got rid of it. Okay, so it's a policy change. Second,

291
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Trump had a policy that if you apply to come

292
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: into America, you gotta wait in Mexico, and Biden got

293
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: rid of that as well. So those are two pretty

294
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: big policy changes, and worse than maybe all that words

295
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: spread that if you send your kids across alone, then

296
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: they'll be allowed to stay. That's why we have over

297
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand unaccompanied kids right now. This is crazy. So

298
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: Trump got criticized for family separation. Right, mom and a kid,

299
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: they come across and we separate them. Now, we did

300
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: that to make sure that family members these people were

301
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: actually related and they weren't just kidnapped kids. Kidnapped kids

302
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: used as props to get special treatment for the smugglers. Right,

303
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: this is the floor As agreement. You heard of, the Flores' Agreement.

304
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: Let me give it the very short of it. Nineteen

305
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: eighty five, there was a fifteen year old undocumented immigrant

306
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: girl from El Salvador, Jenny Flores, and she came over

307
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: to America illegally. She was put in in a camp

308
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: or whatever they call m a center, and her mom

309
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: later sued, saying that she was kept in the same

310
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: area as adult men and that wasn't safe. So this

311
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: case went all the way up to the Supreme Court,

312
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: and a decade later, our government came up with what's

313
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: called the Flores Agreement, and among other things, it says

314
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: children have to be separated from adults because it's not

315
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: safe to put them together when they're not necessarily related.

316
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: So we separated kids for the safety of the kids.

317
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: So America got criticized when we kept adults and kids together.

318
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: We get criticized when they get separated, but we did

319
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: it for their own safety. Now, were to spread that

320
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: if you send your kids across a loan, they have

321
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: a better likelihood of staying so. Now the family separation

322
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: is happening on the other side of the border. Mothers

323
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: making the heart wrenching decision to send their twelve year

324
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: old daughter across a loan they made. We see him

325
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: again and we're okay with this. That's the compassionate thing

326
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: to allow this, to enable this to embolden. The cartels

327
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: didn't make this, to allow this to happen, and the

328
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: people who support this are compassionate somehow. Drug cartels kidnapping kids,

329
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: sending them across the border, often which we'll talk about

330
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: in the next hour, ending up in sex slavery, either

331
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: on this side or our side or this side of

332
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: the border, raped along the way, some dying on the journey,

333
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: and the people who enable this, they get the credit

334
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: for being compassionate. Mike Slater dot locals dot com Filling

335
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: it for Buck Sexton's read the word. It's going on

336
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: Team Buck. Mike Slater out of San Diego, filling it

337
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: for the great Buck Sexton. Thanks for being here. Mike

338
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: Slayter dot locals dot com is where we hang out

339
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: and we put everything TV show, radio show, This show Everything,

340
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Mike Slater dot locals dot com. So last week on

341
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: my local show, we talked about Evanston, Illinois, thirty minutes

342
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: north of Chicago reparations. They enacted reparations for black families.

343
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: Every black family gets twenty five thousand dollars for home purchase,

344
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: home improvements, anything related to the home. Twenty five thousand dollars.

345
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: And immediately the activists said, oh, that's wonderful. We are

346
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: content and grateful. Now immediately they said, no, that's not enough.

347
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: So we went from zero dollars in reparations because it's

348
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: an insanely absurd idea. We went from zero dollars to

349
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars. And though immediately it's not enough,

350
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: not enough, It'll never be enough. No. That So that

351
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: was outside Chicago. Oakland did not want to be outdone.

352
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: They have a new guaranteed income program that's called a

353
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: couple different things, um universal basic income, guaranteed minimum incomes,

354
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: different names for it across our country and in Europe,

355
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: same thing though, but in Oakland, this guaranteed income is

356
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: for all families of color. No white people, yeah white,

357
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: you're white, and nah, no you don't get any got

358
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: to be of color whatever. That even means five hundred

359
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: bucks a month, no strings attached. So they did this

360
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: in Stockton a couple of years ago, one of the

361
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: nation's first pilot programs up it, and there was a

362
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: study done of it, totally non biased study apps, no

363
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: oh bias whatsoever. And they concluded, again no bias. Residents

364
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: who received regular payments experienced less income volatility, secured more

365
00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: full time employment, we're better parents and partners, and even

366
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: saw improvements in their health and overall well being. Well, gosh, golly,

367
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,719
Speaker 1: one's you know this is great? Then there's no problems

368
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: at all, nothing bad happened at all. It was great.

369
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: You give free you give money. You give people free money,

370
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: and they're happier, and not only happier, but they're better

371
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: parents and somehow get more employment for some magical reason

372
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: that makes no sense at all. How about that one

373
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: you give people, give people five bucks a month and

374
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: they get more employment. Ah, but it's great, Let's go ahead.

375
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: That's all the study I need to see. So in Oakland,

376
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: you are eligible for free money if you have a

377
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: child under eighteen, make less than fifty nine thousand dollars

378
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: and then you get you another sixth grand a year.

379
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: And the key with this program is you have to

380
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: be black. Why because white people in Oakland on average

381
00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: make three times as much as black households. So that's inequity,

382
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: and every inequity is racist and needs to be even down. Now,

383
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: what if you're a white family who makes twenty thousand dollars. Nope,

384
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: that's you still have white privilege. If your white family

385
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: makes twenty thousand dollars year in Oakland, you are not

386
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: eligible for this program because you're not black. And this

387
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: is a wonderful way to run a society. Sorry, my

388
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: little sarcastic this morning sarcasm doesn't really come across the

389
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: radio that well. I apologize. I'll stop with the sarcasm.

390
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: This is a terrible way to run a society. But

391
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: I love this. It's a great line from CBS. CBS

392
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: totally straight here with this line. Guaranteed income has been

393
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: a goal of the Black Panther platform since it's founding.

394
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: Oh goody, Now, I'm convinced if the Black Panthers have

395
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: been for it, that's good since it's founding. Oh good,

396
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: The Black Panthers in the sixties were for it. Therefore,

397
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: or it's a great idea. Good night. So the left

398
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: is going to keep pushing for this statewide in California surely,

399
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: and then nationwide absolutely as well. It's just a matter

400
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 1: of time. This is what they do. It's what they do.

401
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: They slowly inched in, slowly inched in, and then people

402
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: get used to it and very quickly. You can't imagine

403
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: life without it, right, that's it, right right now, Like

404
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: the idea of everyone gets free money, like that's insane,

405
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: but oh, it's just it's just five hundred dollars. It's

406
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: just some people five hundred dollars. That's oh, well, thousand dollars,

407
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, more people. We need more people to everyone

408
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: gets two thousand dollars. And then years ago on and

409
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: now if anyone were to propose getting rid of it

410
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: or making any amends to it, like so security, for instance, Oh,

411
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: you can't touch it, can't, right, I can't live life

412
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: without it. My favorite example of that is the Headstart program.

413
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: Head Start program. Headstart started in nineteen sixty five. It

414
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: was a two week long catch up summer school program

415
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: to get kids ready for elementary school. Two weeks. A

416
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: few kids of a certain age getting ready for school.

417
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Now it's a ten billion dollar program, and it's all

418
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: the way down to infants. And if you dare suggest

419
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: we make any amendments to it whatsoever, then you hate children.

420
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: That's how it works always, and that's how it's going

421
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: to work with universal guaranteed income as well. There's an

422
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: assembly men in Californium who has a bill. It's a

423
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a month for all low income families. He

424
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: was gracious enough to include white people on this one,

425
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: at least for now. So that's going to cost a

426
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: cool one hundred twenty nine billion dollars a year, which

427
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago would have been double

428
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: the state budget of California one hundred twenty nine billion.

429
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: Right now, it's only half the budget, only half, and

430
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna be paid for by a new one percent

431
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: tax on the rich. Everybody over two million dollars an income.

432
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: That's it. Piece of cake. That's all it takes. And

433
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: he says, the guy who wrote this bill, he says

434
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: it's probably not going to pass this year. And here's

435
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: the king, but he said his goal is to get

436
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: people comfortable with the idea. Quote the initial shock seems

437
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: to wear off the more people are educated and realize

438
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: the benefits of having more control over their lives. That's fantastic.

439
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: If you think free money from the government gives you

440
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: more control over your life, you're absolutely out of your mind.

441
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: You know, you don't think that's going to come with

442
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: strings attached. They say, no strings attached. Okay, there are

443
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: a million economic reasons to be against this, and we'll

444
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: have plenty of time for that. Let me make the

445
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: moral argument. Can we make the moral argument against him?

446
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Because this is the one that's most overlooked, and I

447
00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: think it's the most foundational. The most important work is good.

448
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: Thomas Soul would argue that we've removed from the family

449
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: the dad with the obvious implications of that, and now

450
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: we've removed the job. Work is good. Work is dare

451
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: I say, essential to finding proper meaning in life? And

452
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: it's not the work itself necessarily. I'm not saying you

453
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: should find meaning in in the work you do. It's

454
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: meaning in the process of work and the reasons why

455
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: you do the work. That's the most important thing. Why

456
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: are you doing the work? Who are you providing for?

457
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: That's what matters. Arthur C. Brooks. He wrote a great

458
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: book I definitely recommend. It's called The Conservative Heart. And

459
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: he says there's four it's a couple of years maybe

460
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: eight years old, telling you, and he said, there's four

461
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: institutions of meaning. That's what he calls him. Institutions of meaning.

462
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: He says, his faith, family, community, and meaningful work. Faith, family, community,

463
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: meaningful work. These are the things that we as individuals

464
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: need to lean into, and we as a society need

465
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: to encourage faith, family, community and meaningful work. When you

466
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: take away someone's need to work, when you take away

467
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: their need to work, they can spiral deeper into depression

468
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: and uselessness and hopelessness, and they lose dignity and they

469
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: know it. There's a homeless charity in town here called

470
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: Solutions for Change in San Diego, and part of their

471
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: deal is you're in this program, you wake up early,

472
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: and you get to work. They know it's essential to

473
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: building someone's dignity back. This is the clip I want

474
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: to play. This is Jordan Peterson of all Places, the

475
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: dontor Oz Show, and they're talking about redistribution of wealth

476
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: and George Peterson gets into it a bit, and so

477
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: I was very attracted to that end of the political spectrum.

478
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: But as I came to investigate some of the problems

479
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: I've been discussing more deeply, I started to understand that

480
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: mere economic rectification was insufficient, that that wasn't the level

481
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: of analysis that was appropriate for my inquiry. Anyways, translated,

482
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: redistribution of income doesn't work. Well, think about it this way,

483
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: the guaranteed basic income idea. It's like, well, that's predicated

484
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: on the idea that man lives by bread alone. Well,

485
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: that isn't how it works. And I've certainly seen that

486
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: in my clinical practice. I've had clients, especially addicts, if

487
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: you gave them money, they would die. And the reason

488
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: for that. Like one guy that I remember in particular,

489
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: I liked him quite a bit. It had a bad

490
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: cocaine problem, and as long as he was flat broke,

491
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't dead. But as soon as he was on disability,

492
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: as soon as his disability check came in, he was

493
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: faced down in a ditch three days later. So while

494
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: and you think, well, maybe that's a consequence of his

495
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: overwhelming poverty, etc. You could come up with some social

496
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: reason for that path that he took, But it wasn't

497
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination. That's simple. It's like,

498
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: people need purpose more than money. Even people need purpose

499
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: more than money. Even people need purpose more than money.

500
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: Even does man live by bread alone. We have a

501
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: major problem in our country of nihilism, lack of meaning,

502
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: lack of purpose, and we think throwing money at the problem,

503
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: we'll make people happy and fix it. The problem is

504
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: much worse than that, and throwing money at it will

505
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: only make it worse. I got one more thing to

506
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: say about this. I gotta take a break. Mike Slater

Speaker 1: filming it for Buck Sexton today. Mike Slater dot locals

510
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: dot com. Um, we're talking about guarantee minimum income. Oakland

511
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: is the first big city to do this. They just started.

512
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: It's only for families of color as well, but it's

513
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: gonna grow and it's gonna expand it. We got to

514
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: be prepared with the argument against this because it's it's

515
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: the Democrats are definitely pushing this, and there's a million

516
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: economic arguments to make against it, and they're all rock solid.

517
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: But I want to make the moral argument, and that

518
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: is that meaningful work is important, and it's not necessarily

519
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: the work itself, although yes, it's who you're working for.

520
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: Why are you working, Who are you providing for? Who

521
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: are you caring for? That's what matters. You take that

522
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: away from somebody and they can spiraled deeper and darker

523
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: and denihilism and meaninglessness and purposelessness Joinan Peterson. He says,

524
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 1: it isn't the provision of material well being with ease

525
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: that allows people to live properly. It's purpose and that's

526
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: a much more difficult problem to solve. You just can't

527
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: throw money at it. The mere offering of material sustenance

528
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: to people is not going to solve that problem, he says.

529
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: Dostoyevski knew this one hundred fifty years ago. He said,

530
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: if you gave people everything they wanted, everything they wanted,

531
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: so all they had to do is eat cakes and

532
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: busy themselves with the continuation of the species. So eat

533
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: have sex. The first thing they do is smash it

534
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: all to hell so that something interesting could happen. Men

535
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: are made for more than then, more than just money.

536
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: Peter Cove, He says, work does so much more than

537
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: provide for our basic needs. Work draws us into the

538
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: public square and instills in us a sense of personal responsibility.

539
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: These are the deeper things that are so important to

540
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: want someone's life and to raising children. It allows people

541
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: to feel the pride and self respect that come with

542
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: supporting their spouses and their children. Again, so it's not

543
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 1: the work, although yes, the quality of work, yes, but

544
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: it's who you're doing it for, who you're providing for,

545
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: who you're supporting in it. Dostoyevsky, he made the point

546
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: that we're not keys of a piano. We're not just

547
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: piano keys. Humans are not cogs in some grand economic machine,

548
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: which is how the left looks at humans. That's how

549
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: the left looks at people. That's how communists looked at people,

550
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: that we were just tools of the state. We're here

551
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: for the state. Everything's purpose becomes not to glorify God,

552
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,720
Speaker 1: but to glorify the state. That's how that's how the

553
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: digression goes. So first, the highest is to glorify God.

554
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: So we've gotten rid of God. So now what do

555
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: we do? What we glify ourselves. That's what we've been

556
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: doing with that. The narcissistic culture that we've been living

557
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: in for how many decades? Now we glorify ourselves. The

558
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: next degradation of that is you glorify the state. There

559
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: is no humanity, there is no God, there is no humanity,

560
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: there is no individual, there is no family. It's all

561
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: about the government. This is why Martin Luther King Junior

562
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: was against communism. People think that Martin Luther King Junior

563
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: was a supporter of communism. No, No, he expressly denounced it.

564
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: I gotta quote he says, I opposed communisms, political totalitarianism,

565
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: and communism. The individual ends up in subjugation to the state.

566
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: And if man so called rights and liberties stand in

567
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: the way of that end, weal they're swimp simply swept aside.

568
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: A man's liberties of expression, his freedom to vote, his

569
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: freedom to listen to what news he likes, or to

570
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: choose his books, are all restricted. Man becomes hardly more

571
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: in communism than at depersonalized cog in the turning wheel

572
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: of the state. Okay, Marloco Jor the Reverend explicitly denounced communism,

573
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: and he gave it a shot. He read das Capital,

574
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: he read the Communist manifesto. He read people's writings about

575
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: those works and he rejected it all. He said, communism,

576
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: avowedly secularistic and materialistic, has no place for God. Communism

577
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,800
Speaker 1: looks at man as a one dimensional, one dimensional economic creature,

578
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: and that's it. And that's what the left is today.

579
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: Now they couch it better. Oh goodness, they couch it better. Right,

580
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: the communists, they were flat out about it, right, like

581
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: you don't matter, You're just a wheel in the system, right,

582
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: or a cognist system today they know they do. That

583
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: doesn't sell, right, So people today who pitch this these

584
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: same communist ideas, they pitch them. Oh but oh, it's

585
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: about dignity, and it's about helping people, and it's about

586
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: flourishing in life, and it's about achieving your dreams. Oh,

587
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: we can pay this person and then they can go

588
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: achieve their dreams. They don't have to work. They can

589
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: go be an artist and reach their full potential. Nah,

590
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: it's the same old stuff, just better marketing. They couch it.

591
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: Of course is helping. We're helping our fellow man. They're

592
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: destroying souls in the process. I want to come back

593
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: with a story of illegal immigration that no one wants

594
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: to talk about no one wants to listen to. I'm

595
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: taking a risk here because I'm this great honor to

596
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 1: all in for Buck Sexton, and I'm gonna do something

597
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: that no one wants to hear. It was really hard

598
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: to hear, and it's quite a downer on a Friday,

599
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: I admit, but I don't hear anyone talking about him,

600
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: and it's essential to understand and get a firm grasp

601
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: of and I think once we do, then the people

602
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: who are at least taking credit for being the compassionate ones,

603
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: the open border people, they get credit for being compassionate,

604
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: maybe they'll start to see the light that they're not.

00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: shows on the first and it's an honor to be

610
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: filling in for for Buck today. Mike Slater dot locals

611
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: dot com is my website. We put everything up there,

612
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: Mike Slater dot locals dot com. So I want to

613
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: talk about something here that no one wants to hear,

614
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: and I'm hesitant to do it, to be honest, because

615
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: I have this great honor of filling it for back

616
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna ruin it. I guess everyone's gonna

617
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: change the station because no one wants to hear this.

618
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: But I think it's really important. So if if you

619
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: or someone can pick this up and run with it,

620
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: then then I think it's worth it. So we talked

621
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: about the border earlier in the first half hour of

622
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: the show, so I want to talk about it, and

623
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, Biden talking about how, oh, there's been no

624
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: border change policy at all, like what there's been two

625
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: massive policy changes. Actually we went a great detail about

626
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: that in the Floor's agreement from nineteen eighty five and

627
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: all that earlier. But I want to talk about an

628
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: aspect of the border. And I know, I know we

629
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: should have we should have much lighter fare on a Friday.

630
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: But this is a very dark side of the border

631
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: story that no one wants to talk about. We skirt

632
00:37:54,560 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: around it. It's funny that there's some people don't want

633
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: to come anywhere near the truth when it comes to

634
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: the border. They just want to live in their fair

635
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: tale land about what goes on there, and some people

636
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: they say they want the truth, but they still don't

637
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: want to hear the really difficult and dark things because

638
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: who wants to be bummed out? But in this segment,

639
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: and I want to keep it just a one segment,

640
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,839
Speaker 1: it's for those who want the depth of truth that

641
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: I think we need to really understand to get the

642
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: fullness of the problem that we're dealing with at the border.

643
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: People who are for open borders, they choose to make

644
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: up this story in their head about the downtrodden immigrant

645
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 1: who comes to America wants to make a life better

646
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: for themselves and works hard and succeeds, succeeds, hooray. And

647
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: that's the dreamers. That's their story. Everyone's a dreamer coming

648
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: over here. And the fewer details that they make up

649
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: in their head, they make up a movie in their

650
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: head about what this is like. In the fewer details

651
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: they provide in their head, the better they'll think as

652
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: little as they need to think in order to feel

653
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: good and pat themselves on the back for being such

654
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: a good person. But they don't want to consider are

655
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: the young girls and women who are kidnapped into the

656
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: sex trade. There's a documentary from Fusion. It's on YouTube,

657
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: it's free. It's called Pimp City. It's about a city

658
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: outside of Mexico City that their main industry is kidnapping

659
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: girls and young women and sending them to Queens Queens,

660
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: New York, where they're prostituted out up to sixty times

661
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: a day. Houston is a major sex trafficking hub. It's

662
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the whole thing, right to

663
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: the middle of la in Miami, and also in the

664
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: middle of the United States in Latin America, and obviously

665
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: it's a major port city, the whole thing. And women

666
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: who are looking to come to America, they're told, oh, well,

667
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: get your cross, will get you a visa, no problem.

668
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: But they don't have any money, right Guatemala. Guatemalans live

669
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: on the world under the world poverty rate, which is

670
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: a dollar ninety a day. Okay, they don't have any money.

671
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: And then people say, oh, that's no problem, that's what

672
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: I've come with us. And you just work a little

673
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: to pay it off. Work in a restaurant. You'll be

674
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 1: a wait waitress in a restaurant. That's all no big deal.

675
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: So they do, and they come across and their job

676
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: description changes, and they're moved to a different city every

677
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: two weeks, and their slaves. The Houston DA says about

678
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: seventy percent of trafficking victims end up in the sex trade.

679
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: You don't see those, don't talk about those, don't hear

680
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 1: about those. So they're going rate to get to America

681
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: through these traffickers. It's thirty thousand dollars, but you live

682
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: in Thailand or some Eastern European poor country or Latin America,

683
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: you've got thirty grand. So it's an installment plan, that's all.

684
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: Because you think. Also, you're like, all right, I don't,

685
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: I don't thirty thousand dollars, right, make a dollar ninety

686
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: a day. I'm thirty thousand dollars. But in America everyone's rich. See,

687
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: you'll make it in no time. Thirty thousand bucks will

688
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: make that in no time, no problem. So girls say yes.

689
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: And then you find out that if you don't pay

690
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: your debt, your family will pay it, or really your

691
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: family will pay for it with their lives. So you

692
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: come across the border, You do the harrowing journey to

693
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: get here, get raped along the way, of course, and

694
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: he die along the way. But you get here and

695
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: your new boss buys you lunch, and you're amazed. You're like,

696
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable. This the portions, look at all this food,

697
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: and no one wants anything from me. Huh. Let me

698
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: read this is from a Texas Monthly magazine. While you're

699
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: in this state, dizzy, disoriented, your boss takes you to

700
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: a place that isn't a restaurant or a factory and

701
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: tells you to unpack your few belongings in a dingy

702
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: back room. He tells you that this is where you're

703
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna work to pay off your debt. You will be

704
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: a prostitute, he explains. And by the way, you'll be

705
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: charged for room and board while you're paying off that

706
00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: thirty grand. When you protest, he beats you, starves you,

707
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: keeps you awake for days on end. Then, just to

708
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: make himself clear, he holds up a picture of your son,

709
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: or your parents or your sister and tears it in half.

710
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: That's all I can handle of that. If you want

711
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: to read more again Texas Monthly, and it's an article

712
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: called the Lost Girls, let me put it on the website. Actually,

713
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: I'll put it on Mike's later out locals dot com

714
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: and you can read it yourself, can read the whole

715
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 1: thing if you want to know the fullness of the story.

716
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 1: This is why we need to shut down the border.

717
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: If people ask me, why do we need to shut

718
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: the board, this is the numb one reason we need

719
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: to stop sex trafficking across the border on that side,

720
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,240
Speaker 1: because some of these girls never even make it across.

721
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: And of course on our side. Months or years ago

722
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,479
Speaker 1: in San Diego, we talked to a human trafficking expert.

723
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 1: There's a ton of human trafficking in San Diego border

724
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,880
Speaker 1: town and he said every public high school, so we say,

725
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: he said, every public high school has a student who's

726
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: a member of a human trafficking gang or a gang

727
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: that's in the human trafficking business. And this student their

728
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: job is to be on the lookout for girls who

729
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: are lost, girls who their family is going through divorce

730
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, right, whatever difficult situation, they're just

731
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: out of it. And of course these king members are

732
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: going to look for migrant kids who have no families

733
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: who are going to be flooding our schools now, fifteen

734
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: thousand of them, and they're going to work to seduce

735
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: them into the sex trade. And those ones who even

736
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: make it to high school, those are the lucky ones.

737
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they're lucky they made it even that far

738
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: along the journey. But they're never out of it. Orry,

739
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,720
Speaker 1: many of these girls never even make it too America.

740
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: They never make it to a family, they never make

741
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: it to a high school. But even then they're not

742
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: out of it. People are shocked to find out the

743
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: how prevalent this is. And my point of bringing it

744
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: up here again, I'm sorry to be a Debbie Downer

745
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: on Friday. I'm sorry to be a Debbie Downer on

746
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: Bucks show. But there are people who enable this. They

747
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: enable this with their open borders. They empower the cartels

748
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: and the sex traffickers of women and little girls. It's

749
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,800
Speaker 1: not just me. This is not, you know, right wing.

750
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: This is so weird. This is something you would think

751
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: the bleeding heart liberal would be all about, right, You

752
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: think they'd be jumping up it down and years ago

753
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 1: they were. This is New York Times. They wrote an

754
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 1: article you have to Pay with your body, the hidden

755
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: nightmare of sexual violence on the Border, and they tell

756
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of stories. I'm not going to share them.

757
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: This is just one a smuggler raped to twenty three

758
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: year old Honduran woman and her four year old daughter. Right,

759
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: So when you hear Nanti Pelosi and you hear all

760
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: the the rest and they're like, oh, come on over

761
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: and we'll take care of the whole thing, that's what

762
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 1: they're enabling. That's what they're enabling. We hear this when

763
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: it comes to gun control bills, right, gun control, but

764
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,839
Speaker 1: if it saves just one life. But you don't hear

765
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: that same thing on the border. We need to shut

766
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: down the border to stop enriching and empowering the cartels.

767
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,439
Speaker 1: We need to order at the border because I don't

768
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: want women, children to be raped and drugged into sex slavery.

769
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: We need a coherent, clear message to the cartels that

770
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: this is not possible. You will not make it across,

771
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:20,040
Speaker 1: and we need a streamlined process for those who want

772
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: to make it here. Legally, it's better for us, and

773
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: more importantly, it's better for the people who want to

774
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: come here. General rule of thumb for Mike Slater. As

775
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: I think about policies, I'm generally for policies that drug

776
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: cartels don't like. I'm generally for policies that sex traffickers

777
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: don't like. If they don't like, it's probably a good thing.

778
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,600
Speaker 1: An order at the border would be one of those.

779
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: Mike sladd out locals dot com. I'll put up both

780
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: those articles right now. Mike slated out locals dot com.

781
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,320
Speaker 1: Spread the word eighteen buck, Mike Slater film it for

782
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton today. Mike Slater dot locals dot com Changing

783
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: gears here. I saw a really nice visual representation of

784
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: what's going on in our country today and the main

785
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 1: debate that's going on in our country, because the debate's

786
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: not about the Second Amendment, right, Although yes, I saw

787
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: a great segment on Bucks TV show last night on

788
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: the latest gun control laws coming out of DC and

789
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: how they do nothing to address crime and they make

790
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: a criminal out of you. But I'm talking about the

791
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: deeper philosophical debate that's going on in our country. So

792
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: I want to try to spell this out. I'll try

793
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 1: to make this visual on the radio. Here a little

794
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,879
Speaker 1: theater of the mind. So imagine a pyramid. You would

795
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: may imagine a pyramid, and there's three levels to the pyramid, bottom, middle, top.

796
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: At the base of the pyramid is modernism. Modernism is science,

797
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: reason objective truth. The middle are these classical liberal ideas capitalism,

798
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: freedom of speech, individualism, equality of opportunity, meritocracy. And then

799
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: at the top is politics. So these are cultural norms, laws, institutions,

800
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: things like them. Cool, the normal progressive and the normal conservative.

801
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: They argue over the top section your neighbor and you

802
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: you you got you know, back in the day, we

803
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: debate about policies and laws and things like that, and

804
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,320
Speaker 1: progressives would want to change these things, and conservatives generally

805
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: want to conserve, conserve or preserve these things. Makes sense.

806
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: That's a you know, a normal debate, and there's that's

807
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: this is good, this is a good thing. No problem

808
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 1: here whatsoever. Democrats says we need to raise taxes. Conservative

809
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: says we need to lower taxes. Fine, I miss those

810
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: old fashioned debates. Right, that's a fine conversation to having

811
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: a very good, healthy thing in a healthy society. And

812
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: both of these people, to progressive and the conservative, think

813
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: that the bottom levels of this pyramid are good and

814
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: need to be preserved. Everyone here in this conversation believes

815
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: that truth exists and that capitalism and freedom of speech

816
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: and meritocracy are good things. But then there are another

817
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: group of people. Not you're run of the middle democrats,

818
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: but Marxists with a Marxist worldview, they come into the

819
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: picture and they say, oh, you regular progressives, you democrats,

820
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: you don't go far enough. We don't just need to

821
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: change policies and laws. A Marxist believes that it's the

822
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: liberal ideas of America that are the problem. It's the

823
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: liberal ideas of America that inevitably lead to oppression. So

824
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 1: not only do we need to change the laws and

825
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: the policies, but we gotta get rid of capitalism. We

826
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of individualism, we gotta get rid of meritocracy,

827
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: we gotta get rid of freedom of speech entirely. That's

828
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,400
Speaker 1: the middle level of the pyramid. And this is why

829
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 1: you see Marxists justify shutting down freedom of speech and

830
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: calling for an end of capitalism itself. That's why these

831
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: people who run these diversity seminars, they you know, they

832
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: have a list of whites of primacy values, and one

833
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: of them is merit. Merit is a white supremacy value.

834
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: Kamala herself saying, it's not about equality of opportunity, it's

835
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: about equality of outcome. That's what matters. The most we

836
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 1: actually got a clip of this was during the campaign.

837
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: So there's a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests, oh,

838
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 1: everyone should get the same amount. The problem with that

839
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: not everybody's starting up for the same place. So if

840
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: we're all getting the same amount, but you started out

841
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: back there and I started out over here, we can

842
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 1: get the same am up, but you're still gonna be

843
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: that far back behind me. It's about giving people the

844
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: resources and the support they need so that everyone can

845
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: be on equal footing and then compete on equal footing.

846
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same

847
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: place there, it is. Equitable treatment means we all end

848
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: up at the same place. So meritocracy, it doesn't need

849
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: equality of opportunity none on it's equality of outcome. Right,

850
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: So they're in the middle, they're they're debating the middle

851
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: part of this pyramid. That's very different than arguing over

852
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: higher taxes or lower taxes. This is trying to overhaul

853
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: the building blocks of this country. That's the Marxist view.

854
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: Of course, they've taken over college campuses, and that's infiltrated

855
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: now out of college campuses, of course, into really every

856
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: institution in America. The march through the institutions you name it, Hollywood, music, academia,

857
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 1: K through twelve, medical school, law school, everything, AM talk

858
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: radio we're the only people left. AM Talk Radio is

859
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,399
Speaker 1: the only conservative institution left in the country. Everything else

860
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: is taken over by not only progresses, but by Marxists

861
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: who want to undermine that, undermine and overhaul that middle

862
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 1: section of the pyramid. And then finally the bottom level

863
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: of the pyramid, the modernism level. You have not progressives,

864
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: not Marxist, but you have postmodernists. A postmodernist comes in

865
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: and says, hey, you guys, you're you progressives, You're you're

866
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 1: not taking it far enough. It's not just the laws

867
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: and institutions and policies that need to change. Goodness, No,

868
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: and Marxists, you're not going far enough. It's not just

869
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: capitalism that has to go. It's not just freedom of

870
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: speech and individuality and individualism and meritocracy, and it's we

871
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,960
Speaker 1: gotta go way further than that. It's objective truth that

872
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,760
Speaker 1: has to go. There's no such thing as objective truth.

873
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: Reason has to go. And this is where you get

874
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: people talking about like lived experiences and things like this,

875
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: like these ideas where truth doesn't even exist, there's no

876
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,439
Speaker 1: such thing as truth. Who are you to say what's

877
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: right or wrong? Two plus two could equal five? We

878
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: spent a ton of time on my local show about

879
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: postmodern math that called anti racist math. Where are two

880
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: plus two could equal five? Who are you to say

881
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: it doesn't? And these people are becoming more and more prevalent,

882
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 1: not necessarily a number, although yes, but in power and

883
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: influence postmodernists. Take a look at your kids textbook. Take

884
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: a look at your kids school textbook. Popular Mechanics wrote

885
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 1: an article recently why some people think two plus two

886
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: equals five and why they're right. There's a ton here.

887
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on the website too. I'll put

888
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: it on mics later out locals dot com so you

889
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: can see it yourself. And it's really important to know

890
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: who you're talking to. First of all, who you're talking to,

891
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,640
Speaker 1: but also who you're receiving inputs from in your life,

892
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:50,399
Speaker 1: like who's right. So when you watch a movie or

893
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: watch a TV show, or put your kids in front

894
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: of the TV, or put your let your kids brows

895
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: the internet, or send your kids off to certain schools,

896
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: what inputs are they receiving. Are they receiving inputs from progressives,

897
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: from Marxists or from postmodernists? Are these progressives who disagree

898
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,280
Speaker 1: on policy? Are these Marxists who disagree on the principles America?

899
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: Are these postmodernists who disagree on reason and objective truth

900
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 1: even existing at all? We need to be able to

901
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,799
Speaker 1: understand that, know that, and then respond accordingly. We'll put

902
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: it on the website. Mike's later dot locals dot com.

903
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,840
Speaker 1: Coming up next, one of my favorite Abraham Lincoln stories.

904
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: You're gonna love this story. I think about it all

905
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 1: the time. We'll share it next. Mike's later dout locals

906
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: dot com filling it for Buck Sexton. Spread the word.

907
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 1: It's going on Team Buck. Mike's later, filling it for

908
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 1: Buck again today, thanks for being here. I want to

909
00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,960
Speaker 1: share here one of my favorite stories in this next segment.

910
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: It just I don't know. I think about everyone's a while,

911
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: and it it inspires me to read more, to dive deeper

912
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: into topics, to fight against culture, and to be better

913
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: than what culture is feeding us and just dragging us down.

914
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: So what culture drags us down? It gives you such

915
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: a low par and we need to better here in

916
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt with Buck Saxons. That's what I want

917
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: to talk about coming up in this segment right here.

918
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: But first Express VPN. So the Internet, everyone's following you

919
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: and tracking and everything you do, right, how do you

920
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: protect your Internet activity? How do you protect your Internet activity?

921
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,280
Speaker 1: Everything you search for, watch, click, even how much time

922
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 1: you spend on certain websites, where your mouse is on websites,

923
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: everything is tracked by big tech. How do you get

924
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 1: around that? Express VPN. Your IP address is masked by

925
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: a secure VPN server. That's how it works. So Express

942
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 1: I want to share this story. It's one of my favorites.

943
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: This is from Neo Postman's book. It's called Amusing Ourselves

944
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: to Death. Amusing Ourselves to Death. Look, I just read

945
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 1: a little bit. He says. The first of seven famous

946
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,439
Speaker 1: debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas took place

947
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: on April excuse me, August twenty first, eighteen fifty eight,

948
00:56:57,440 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: in Ottawa, Illinois. Aren't we there? So we got the

949
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: Lincoln Douglas debates eighteen fifty eight. The arrangement provided that

950
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: Douglas would speak first for one hour, Lincoln would take

951
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,840
Speaker 1: an hour and a half to reply, and then Douglas

952
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: a half hour to reply to Rebut it, so, what's

953
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: that we got? It was an hour and an hour

954
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: and a half, half hour, three hours, three hour tour.

955
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: That's a long time. How many movies do people watch

956
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: it and they're like, oh, yeah, it was good about

957
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: three hours so long. Neil Postman says, this debate was

958
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: considerably shorter than those which these two men were accustomed.

959
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: In fact, they've tangled several times before, and all of

960
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: their encounters had been much lengthier and more exhausting. For example,

961
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: check this out. Eighteen fifty four, in Peoria, Douglas delivered

962
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 1: a three hour address Bach, a three hour speech to

963
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: which Lincoln, by agreement, was to respond when Lincoln's turn came.

964
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 1: So everyone in the audience just listened to Stephen A.

965
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: Douglas for three hours. Now it's Lincoln's turn. He reminded

966
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: the audience that it was already five pm, and that

967
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:17,600
Speaker 1: he would probably require as much time as Douglas, and

968
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: that Douglas was still scheduled for a rebuttal to him.

969
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 1: He proposed, therefore, that the audience go home, eat dinner,

970
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: and return refreshed for four more hours of talk. The

971
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: audience amiably agreed, went home, a dinner, came back, and

972
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: matters proceeded. As Lincoln had outlined, what kind of audience

973
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: was this? Who were these people who could so cheerfully

974
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: accommodate themselves to seven hours of oratory? The audience's attention

975
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: span would obviously have been extraordinary by current standards. Is

976
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: there any audience of Americans today who could endure seven

977
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: hours of talk or five or three, especially without pictures

978
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 1: of any kind? That amazing? This is a major problem

979
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: that we're not very smart. Now, before you get offended

980
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: at that, I'm including myself in that absolutely as well.

981
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm not very smart. Have you ever take it? So? First,

982
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 1: all the citizenship exam, right, like, only twenty percent of

983
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: high schoolers can pass the citizenship exam. This is like

984
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: basic stuff like how many states are there? But have

985
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: you ever seen these tests from like a middle school classroom?

986
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I got like a fifth Crede classroom from nineteen thirty

987
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know any enough the answers. They're ridiculously difficult.

988
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 1: The bar is so low today. I have not read

989
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 1: nearly any of the classics. I really haven't, and I'm

990
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: starting to. I've been starting this last year or so. Actually,

991
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: when I first heard that Abram this Abram link a store,

992
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: I shared ready, I was like, I got some work

993
01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 1: to do, but I just I don't have I haven't

994
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: read these classics. It certainly didn't read the grown up

995
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 1: and I don't have the tools that are necessary to

996
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: think deeply about important topics. Recently, a friend of mine

997
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: who I recruited for this effort, we read Hamlet, and

998
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: even just reading Hamlet, I feel myself, you know, thinking

999
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: back on it a lot all the often. But then

1000
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: I get this regret, like, oh what if I what

1001
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,959
Speaker 1: if I spent my childhood learning about the classics? Reading

1002
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: the classics? You know, very few people do. Almost no

1003
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: one these days has a complete tool belt to think

1004
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: about things deeply. Almost no one today he could listen

1005
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,000
Speaker 1: to Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas or anyone talk for

1006
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: seven hours about things. Abraham Lincoln, he was a boy.

1007
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 1: He didn't have iPads, right, he didn't have the latest technology.

1008
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: But he just devoured every book he could get his

1009
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: hands on. He would read it multiple times. Every book

1010
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:33,280
Speaker 1: was gold. He had a much longer attention span than

1011
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: we do, and much fewer choices. Today, we have infinite

1012
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: choices and no attention span. Try that one on. Abraham

1013
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Lincoln had very few choices and a very long attention span.

1014
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: We have infinite choices and no attention span. Which is better?

1015
01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: Which would you choose? We're living in the ladder, and

1016
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: we are spastic. We're spastic because of it. Just choices

1017
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 1: non stop. How many times do you catch yourself reading

1018
01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: something and you just write a couple of pages and

1019
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I don't I just I just blinked out.

1020
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 1: I didn't read any of that. Are you reading something

1021
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 1: online and just scrolling? Scroll scrolls? Just scrolling? On the Twitter?

1022
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: You just scrolling. You're not really good at the tweet.

1023
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 1: Just scrolls, scroll, scrolls, scrolls, scroll, just infinite choices, no attentions. Man,

1024
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 1: think about the Lincoln Douglas debate right in fifty four

1025
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: before they weren't even running for anything, by the way,

1026
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 1: or they mean they were running for They weren't running

1027
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: for presid should say they weren't run for president. In so,

1028
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: think about all these people at these original Lincoln Douglas debates.

1029
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,720
Speaker 1: They had longer attention spans if you were choices. What

1030
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: else were they gonna do after dinner? There's nothing else

1031
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: going on? So imagine the excitement in town when this

1032
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: was going on. I think this is one reason why

1033
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: we're just in a bad place today. Here's what Neil

1034
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: Postman wrote, and I love this so much. He says,

1035
01:02:56,880 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 1: So there's two dystopian books that are often cited, and

1036
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: one of them much more than the other. You've got

1037
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: George Olls nineteen eighty four and Huxley's Brave New World,

1038
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: two dystopian futures, two very different dystopian futures. And Neil

1039
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: Postman said, what George Orwell feared were those who would

1040
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: ban books, right, so he'd he feared big brother coming

1041
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: in banning books. What Huxley feared was that there would

1042
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: be no reason to ban a book, for there would

1043
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: be no one who wanted to read one, right. I

1044
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: think about We've talked a lot on my local show

1045
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: about Ryan Ryan t Alexander, his book about transgenderism and

1046
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: anyway it's from a conservative perspective, if you will, and

1047
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: banned from Amazon, and how many people even really care? Right, So,

1048
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 1: we're closer to Huxley, where people like ah, whatever, it

1049
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information.

1050
01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Huxley feared those who would give us so much information

1051
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,920
Speaker 1: that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. And

1052
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: that's where we are today. We got this new cycle

1053
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: constantly bombarding you with too much So you're just numb

1054
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,960
Speaker 1: to it. George Orwell feared that the truth would be

1055
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: concealed from us. Huxley feared that the truth would be

1056
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: drowned in a serious sea of irrelevance. Or Well feared

1057
01:04:28,280 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: we would be we would become a captive culture. Huxley

1058
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: feared we would become a trivial culture. Compare us with

1059
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: that audience in Peoria, Illinois in eighteen fifty four. You'd

1060
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: think we'd be so much smarter if you were to compare. Honestly,

1061
01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:51,160
Speaker 1: if you were to line us up the people in

1062
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 1: Peoria in eighteen fifty four and wherever you are today

1063
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, and you put these two people

1064
01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: next to each other, it would be like they wouldn't

1065
01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: even be two different cultures, to be two different species.

1066
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean they think like from two different planets. So

1067
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,600
Speaker 1: the question is how can we intellectually, morally even too,

1068
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:16,960
Speaker 1: How can we live like it's eighteen sixty five in Peoria, Illinois.

1069
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:27,920
Speaker 1: Were more focus and fewer distraction, right, So how can

1070
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 1: we live? This is the question, how can we live

1071
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one? Because we can't go back, So

1072
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: how can we live in twenty twenty one, with the

1073
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: modern conveniences and the benefits et cetera, et cetera, living today,

1074
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 1: but with more focus and fewer distraction. First thing, demand

1075
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: more out of yourself, as Postman said, what kind of

1076
01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: man do you think I am? That's what we need

1077
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: to ask these people who are peddling garbage. He said,

1078
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: any rational decent man would ask to the people who

1079
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 1: are peddling this garbage, what kind of man do you

1080
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:03,080
Speaker 1: think I am? So, but you need to know that

1081
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: you're better than what you're being fed by our culture.

1082
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: And once you start saying you start saying stuff like that,

1083
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: like oh, like you think, like what kind of person

1084
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: do you think I am? You're gonna get a lot

1085
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: of Pressure're gonna be like, oh, you think you're so

1086
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: much better than that? Yes, yes, I do. I believe

1087
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: I we you even are much better than this, and

1088
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: just don't partake it anymore. Have have some respect, man,

1089
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 1: and then so demand more, and then find the places

1090
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: and the things that bring you perspective in peace. And

1091
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 1: that's what we try to do on my show and

1092
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Buck as well. Perspective and peace, that's the name of

1093
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: the game. We need more of that. So find someone

1094
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 1: finds something that brings that to you and latch onto

1095
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: it because it's going to help just get rid of

1096
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 1: distraction and it's going to help focus. So again, how

1097
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: can we intellectually live like it's eighteen sixty five with

1098
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: fewer distraction and more focus. That's my challenge this year.

1099
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Mike's later dot locals dot com filling in for Buck

1100
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: sex spread the word eighteen buck Mike Slater and San

1101
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Diego film in for Buck Sexton. Mike Slater dot locals

1102
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: dot com. That's our website. There was a high school

1103
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: in Columbus, Ohio. Of course they got rid of the

1104
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: classics because they're racist, and you got to replace everything

1105
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 1: with the the new. Oh they're so great, these new things.

1106
01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: This in one case they in this school they replaced

1107
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 1: a classics with a slam poetry book called The Poet X.

1108
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: In the first two pages, the underaged character Zimara Xio

1109
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:41,360
Speaker 1: m A R. Zimara approached drug dealers who cat called her,

1110
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: and the drug dealers says church girls are all freaks, Ao, Zimara,

1111
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: you need to start wearing dresses like that. This word

1112
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: I can't say on the radio. You'd be wiped up.

1113
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Before going back to school. That's how you read the

1114
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: slam poetry. You say some words like this with awkward

1115
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: breaks in them, and that's called slam poetry, especially knowing

1116
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: you church girls are all freaks. That's the first page

1117
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: of this book for high school. The main character believes

1118
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: that Christianity, the bedrock of her familiar values, hinders her

1119
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: ability to live freely. It's this is the poem. It's

1120
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: not any one thing that makes me wonder about the

1121
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: capital good, about a holy trinity that doesn't include the Mother.

1122
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 1: It's all the things. Just seems as I get older,

1123
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: I begin to really see the way the church treats

1124
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 1: a girl like me differently. Sometimes it feels them all

1125
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:51,759
Speaker 1: I'm worth is under my skirt and not between my ears.

1126
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel life wouldn't be eat would be easier

1127
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 1: if I didn't feel like such a debt to a

1128
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: god that didn't really seem to be out there checking

1129
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: from me. It's like, whatever feed our garbage to there,

1130
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,559
Speaker 1: to our kids, you're gonna drop your kids off at

1131
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: a public school. Let's say I'm a guest of Bucks today.

1132
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure would agree with me. But I want

1133
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: to be a little a little asident to go on

1134
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: a full rant as I do in my local show

1135
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,880
Speaker 1: about how you should never ever drop your kids off

1136
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 1: at a public school for the rest of your life.

1137
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: It is child of use if you do, so stop

1138
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: doing it, because this is the garbage they're being peddled.

1139
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: And it's a weird tension, and I get it where

1140
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: the teachers' unions are using your kids not being in

1141
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: school as leverage for more money. So the left doesn't

1142
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: want your kids back in school. So conservatives are like, no,

1143
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 1: we need kids back in school, and I just want

1144
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 1: to be here, like, well, hold on, you should never

1145
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: want your kids back in public school. I don't understand

1146
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: the conservative who's like, come on, governor, my kids got

1147
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,919
Speaker 1: to get back and then indoctrination center as quickly as possible.

1148
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: He's got to learn all about the horrible things about America.

1149
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 1: Now this is a terrible country, and how all white

1150
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 1: people are racists. Get our kids back in school. All

1151
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,680
Speaker 1: like like, wait a second, why are you fighting for this.

1152
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: You should be using this last year, have been using

1153
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 1: and you should continue to use whatever time you have

1154
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: left to do whatever it takes to never send your

1155
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: kid to a public school ever. Again. And don't tell me, oh,

1156
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: my kid goes to a good public school. No they don't,

1157
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: because their curriculum all comes from the top. I live

1158
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: in California, so ours are like one of the worst.

1159
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: But every state is becoming more and more like this.

1160
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: And don't tell me, oh, my kid is in the

1161
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: excelled program. No they're not. Those won't exist for long.

1162
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:35,920
Speaker 1: I did a segment on this couple weeks ago in

1163
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: San Diego. The next day, the second biggest school district

1164
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: in the county released that they're getting rid of they

1165
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: called their Gate program. They're Gifted and Talented program. They're

1166
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 1: getting rid of. It's inequitable, not enough black in the

1167
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 1: span of kids in it, too many white and Asian kids.

1168
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: So they got rid of it because it's not fair. Okay, gone,

1169
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: So all these advanced programs are gone. Anyway, everyone's gonna

1170
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: have to do the same garbage curriculum from the state,

1171
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,600
Speaker 1: from these progressives. It's a terrible thing. Never drop your

1172
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: kids off there and ever and about sider. They'll learn

1173
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 1: new oh yeah, poetry like this good. Yeah, They'll learn

1174
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: about how God is awful and God's terrible, and how

1175
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:17,680
Speaker 1: Christianity treats women poorly and only to seize them as

1176
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 1: you know, only sees their worth as what's under my skirt.

1177
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 1: That's good, This is good, No problem there, hurry up,

1178
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: drop your kids off there. Anyway, I'm not going to

1179
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: do that segment because we don't really know each other

1180
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:34,479
Speaker 1: well enough for me to be so bold. Yesterday, I'll

1181
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: end on this. Yesterday we talked to quite a bit

1182
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 1: about transgenderism, and my point of bringing all this transgenderism

1183
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: stuff up is first to help you if you know

1184
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:45,720
Speaker 1: someone who's struggling with gender dyst for you. But that's

1185
01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:47,760
Speaker 1: not many people, for a vast majority of us. The

1186
01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: reason I bring up this transgenderism stuff is because it's

1187
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: a propaganda war. If they can get you to consent

1188
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: to transgender ideology, all right, If they can get you

1189
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: to agree with this stuff that you're not born an agenda,

1190
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,560
Speaker 1: you decide your gender, You can change genders if you

1191
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 1: agree with that. If they get you to agree with that,

1192
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: there's nothing they can't get you to agree with. It's

1193
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: very similar with critical race theory. If they get you

1194
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,759
Speaker 1: to agree that you're born racist, all white people are racist,

1195
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:17,720
Speaker 1: and all that. If you admit to that and you

1196
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 1: start to flagellate yourself in shame. There's nothing they can't

1197
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: get you to do, and that's what propaganda really is.

1198
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: So I'll end with this quote from one of my

1199
01:12:29,200 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: favorite writers, Theodore Dalrymple. He says, I came to the

1200
01:12:32,439 --> 01:12:36,760
Speaker 1: conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to

1201
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Speaker 1: persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate. The

1202
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: point of propaganda is to humiliate you. The point of

1203
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 1: this transgenders and stuff is to humiliate you. The point

1204
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: of this critical race theory stuff is to humiliate you.

1205
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: And therefore the less it corresponded to reality, the better.

1206
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: When people are forced to remain silent when they're being

1207
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: told the most obvious lies, or even worse, when they're

1208
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,000
Speaker 1: forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose one sin

1209
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: for all their sense of probity. Let me look at

1210
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: this word real quick self respect, I believe. Let's see

1211
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,879
Speaker 1: the quality of having strong moral principles, honesty, and decency.

1212
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 1: To assent to obvious lies is to cooperate with evil,

1213
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 1: and in some small ways, to become evil oneself. One's

1214
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 1: standing to resist anything is thus eroded and even destroyed.

1215
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 1: If you don't stand up against the most absurd of

1216
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: the propaganda being spewed your way, then you won't have

1217
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: the strength, or courage or intellectual ability to stand up

1218
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 1: to anything. Let's draw some lines and not back down.

1219

1224
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: our website. We've already put a ton of stuff from

1225
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: the show today up there. Mike Slater dot locals dot com.

1226
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: I want to share this story here. I think about

1227
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: this story a lot, and I hope once you hear it,

1228
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: you think about it a lot too. In the first hour,

1229
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 1: so first we kicked off talking about Joe Biden's press

1230
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: conversation today. We talked about the border. He said, we

1231
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 1: haven't changed any immigration policies. What are you talking to?

1232
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Two massive policies you changed. We talked all about that,

1233
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: and then we got into this conversation about the importance

1234
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: of work, the importance of meaningful work because Oakland is

1235
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: the first big city they're stocked in. A couple of

1236
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: other cities have done this before, but the first big

1237
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,639
Speaker 1: city to have guaranteed minimum income five hundred bucks a month,

1238
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: no strings, no strings attached, and their twist is only

1239
01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: for families of color, which is going to be great.

1240
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 1: So we talked all about the problems with that, and

1241
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 1: not just the economic issues of that, and there's a

1242
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: million of those, but the moral issues with that and

1243
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:54,600
Speaker 1: what that does to one's soul. And we played a

1244
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 1: clip of Jordan Peterson and he speaking against this, and

1245
01:14:57,800 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: he said, does man live by bread alone? We have

1246
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: a much deeper problem in America than just lack of money.

1247
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 1: We have a nihilism problem, lack of meaning, lack of purpose.

1248
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: You throw money at that and it just makes it worse.

1249
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: So we talked all about work and the importance of work,

1250
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: and it's not necessarily the work even itself as much,

1251
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:25,560
Speaker 1: although yes, as much as why you're doing it and

1252
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:29,240
Speaker 1: who you're supporting in the process. You take that away

1253
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 1: from people, You rob people of that, and people will

1254
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: spiral into a dark place very quickly. You're taking people's

1255
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 1: dignity away from them. And we talked about how it's

1256
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: being spun to trick you. So we did that all

1257
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:52,600
Speaker 1: in the first hour. On that point, I want to

1258
01:15:52,600 --> 01:16:01,040
Speaker 1: tell the story of Richard Montagnes Richard Montagnez. Richard Montagnas

1259
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: grew up in Cucamonga Valley. It's in Riverside County. It's

1260
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 1: north to San Diego, east of La went to school,

1261
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: could barely speak English. Every day he'd come home crying

1262
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 1: to his mom. Kids were asked what they wanted to

1263
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 1: be when they grew up, and you know, it was

1264
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 1: the usual doctor, astronaut, and he said nothing. He said,

1265
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: there was no dream where I came from. He had

1266
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: no no dream to become anything when he grew up.

1267
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: He dropped out of school in the fourth grade, worked

1268
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: in farms and factories. He got a job as a

1269
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: janitor out of factory four dollars an hour. He was

1270
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 1: eighteen years old at this point. Richard montagna is eighteen

1271
01:16:56,560 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 1: years old janitor four bucks an hour. His first day

1272
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:05,840
Speaker 1: of work, his grandfather pulled him aside his grandfather. They

1273
01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:10,839
Speaker 1: lived in a little concrete hut with he was eighteen

1274
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 1: family members. So he's eighteen years old on his first

1275
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: day of the job, and his grandfather pulled him aside,

1276
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: and he said, son, make sure that floor shines and

1277
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:35,120
Speaker 1: let them know that I'm Montagnes mopped it. Don't just

1278
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 1: go and do the bare minimum and do the job

1279
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 1: and get done and come home. No, no, no, no,

1280
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: make sure that floor shines and let them know I'm

1281
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:48,400
Speaker 1: montagne is mopped in. So he decided, I'm going to

1282
01:17:48,479 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: be the best janitor that this company's ever seen. I'm

1283
01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: gonna make a name for myself as a janitor. So

1284
01:17:58,040 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 1: he went and he did a great job mop at

1285
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 1: the floors, but he wanted more. So we spent time

1286
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: learning about the company's products and their manufacturing methods and

1287
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 1: their marketing. He even asked a salesman if he could

1288
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: tag along with him as they sell. I mean, think

1289
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: about the think of that goal. The janitor roll Imagine

1290
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: you're the salesperson. The janitor rolls up and says, hey,

1291
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: do you mind if I come on a sales call

1292
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,240
Speaker 1: it with you? You'd be like, what do you what?

1293
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: This is mid nineteen eighties and the CEO of the company.

1294
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: The company wasn't doing well, and the CEO started this

1295
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: new initiative called Act Like an Owner. They had three

1296
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: hundred thousand employees and it wasn't going well and they

1297
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: needed new ideas and new buy in a new right.

1298
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: So Richard he called the CEO like, this is your thing,

1299
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 1: I act like an owner. All right, I'm gonna call

1300
01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 1: you up. So this gretary picks up up mister Enrico's office.

1301
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: Who's this, says Richard. Montagne's in California. Oh, Richard, are

1302
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 1: you the vice president overseeing California? No? I work at

1303
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 1: the Rancho Cucamonga plant. Oh so you're the vice president

1304
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 1: of operation. No, I actually work inside the plant. You're

1305
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 1: the manager. No, I'm the janitor. To the secretary's credit

1306
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: and to the CEO's credit, he picked up the phone

1307
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: and Richard made his first pitch over the phone, and

1308
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: the CEO said, Okay, make a presentation delivered in person.

1309
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 1: You got two weeks. So Richard, who again dropped out

1310
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:52,200
Speaker 1: of school in the fourth grade, went to the library,

1311
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:58,000
Speaker 1: picked up a book on marketing strategies. Two weeks crash course,

1312
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 1: got ready, got himself a suit and tie, met with

1313
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: the met with the met with the janitor, and met

1314
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 1: with the CEO and all the executives. And you could

1315
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 1: picture this in your head perfectly, can't you like, I

1316
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: just imagine this long wooden table. It's like so corporate.

1317
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: This room is super corporate, long wooden table, everyone in

1318
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: the same color suits, ceo way at the end and

1319
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 1: in walks the janitor. Now I have two different versions

1320
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:23,840
Speaker 1: in my head. In one version, he's still wearing his

1321
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:26,479
Speaker 1: janitor uniform, which is awesome. I like that version in

1322
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: my head. But I also got one where he bought

1323
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 1: like a brown suit and like this this ugly brown

1324
01:20:33,840 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: yellow off gold tie. Are you with me? You can

1325
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: imagine where you want, But I think we're all pretty

1326
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 1: much in the same ballpark with envisioning this. And he says, listen,

1327
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 1: I learned or I came up with this idea when

1328
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:55,520
Speaker 1: I went on a sales call to a Hispanic neighborhood

1329
01:20:56,040 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: and there was no product for Mexicans. Where I grew up,

1330
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 1: we had Mexican street corn, and I think people were

1331
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: really like something that's inspired by that. And the CEO said,

1332
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: all right, what's it tastes like? He said, glad? She asked,

1333
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,560
Speaker 1: And he pulled out a hundred plastic baggies and he

1334
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: made his own mix, made his own mix inside each

1335
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 1: little baggie passed around the room and the CEO tasted

1336
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:27,640
Speaker 1: it and said, put your mop away, you're coming with us.

1337
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 1: Richard was the janitor at the Rancho Cucamonga Friedo Lays factory,

1338
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: and he was the inventor of what would become Flaming

1339
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: Hot Cheetos, one of the most successful launches in Friedo

1340
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 1: Lay history. He became a vice president and is now

1341
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: worth twenty million dollars. It's a couple lessons from this

1342
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:05,840
Speaker 1: awesome story. First, in America, we have the rags to

1343
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 1: riches story. We love it. We love the rags to

1344
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 1: riches and we should, but oftentimes we make it when

1345
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 1: we tell the story, we make it seemed too much

1346
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 1: like luck or too much like oh, his success was inevitable.

1347
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Of course he was going to be a rags to

1348
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,559
Speaker 1: riches because we're looking back on it and he became

1349
01:22:25,600 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: a riches so we're like, oh, yeah, of course it

1350
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: was gonna go that way. No, No, Richard was poor.

1351
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: He did a lot more than show up to get rich.

1352
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: We tend to YadA YadA YadA, over all the defeats

1353
01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: and difficulties and challenges. Right, we tell the story of

1354
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 1: he was poor, showed up got rich. Like no, there

1355
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: was a lot of work, the difficulty, the research, the

1356
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 1: courage to ask salespeople to go on sales calls, right,

1357
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: his unpaid time off going on a sales call away

1358
01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:55,559
Speaker 1: from his family. Sacrifice. This is a huge canyon between

1359
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: rags and riches, and you can't just gloss over that.

1360
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 1: Also the root of the story, of course, it comes

1361
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 1: from his grandpa eighteen years old. First day, make sure

1362
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:12,600
Speaker 1: you make sure that floor shines and let them know

1363
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: that a montagne is mopped it. And that's the deal.

1364
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 1: That's the difference. It's a pride in your work. A

1365
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 1: pride in your work therefore a pride in yourself. So

1366
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 1: when you go back to Oakland and they're like, oh,

1367
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to work, because that's where we're headed.

1368
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: We're headed towards guaranteed minimum income and we're all gonna

1369
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,080
Speaker 1: be living like a bunch of flat fat slabs and

1370
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,679
Speaker 1: wally being zipped around, all of us with the iPad

1371
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 1: in front of our face, and no one having to work,

1372
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be so liberating. They say, No, a

1373
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: pride in your work, he goes, A pride in yourself.

1374
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 1: And here's the other truth of this story that I

1375
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: love so much. Even if he didn't hit it big,

1376
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 1: even if the story does not end with oh, and

1377
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 1: he's the vice president, he's worth twenty million dollars. Even

1378
01:23:55,280 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 1: if Richard Montagnez only mopped that floor until it shined,

1379
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: and if one person, if really no one, if he

1380
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:16,560
Speaker 1: knew that a Montagnez mopped it, even that is a

1381
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: beautiful American story. Even that is a job well done.

1382
01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: Even that is the foundation of a life well lived.

1383
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:32,680
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be the rags to riches, the

1384
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 1: richest part doesn't have to be there. I'm sure if

1385
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: he put that much pride into his mopping, I'm sure

1386
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: he also put that much pride into his family and

1387
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:42,599
Speaker 1: all the other things that matter in life as well.

1388
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that needs to be celebrated. Whether

1389
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 1: he got the riches or not. Maybe the CEO never

1390
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 1: picked up the phone and that was the end of

1391
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:54,000
Speaker 1: that whole story, It's still the story worth telling. The

1392
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:56,280
Speaker 1: Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. He said, if a man

1393
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:58,759
Speaker 1: is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep

1394
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: streets even as a might Colangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music.

1395
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 1: Or Shakespeare wrote poetry, he should sweep streets so well

1396
01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: that all the hosts of heaven and Earth will pause

1397
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did

1398
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: his job well. Now you know the rest of the story.

Speaker 1: Mike Slater dot locals dot com filling in for Buck Sexton,

1400

Speaker 1: spread the word eighteen buck. Mike Slater, San Diego, filling

1401
01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,000
Speaker 1: in for Buck Sexton. Mike Slater dot locals dot com

1402
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: is our website. Let me let me keep going on

1403
01:25:31,080 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: this because this is such an important theme. As as

1404
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: universal basic income becomes more popular, it's going to be

1405
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,360
Speaker 1: pushed more and more nationwide. Have we got a couple

1406
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 1: of small cities like Stockton started a couple years ago,

1407
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: obviously some European cities. Oakland is now the first big

1408
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:47,680
Speaker 1: city to do it. Goodness Evanston, Illinois has a reparations

1409
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,439
Speaker 1: program for black families twenty five thousand dollars a year

1410
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 1: that they can use for mortgage or home improvements or

1411
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: buying a house or whatever. Only black families. Right, So

1412
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 1: this is growing and it's gonna happen, right unless, well,

1413
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. It's gonna be more popular unless we

1414
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:08,599
Speaker 1: make a stand against it, particularly universal basic income, guaranteed

1415
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:12,360
Speaker 1: minimum income. It is a bad thing. It's been an

1416
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: idea for a long time. It's been a bad idea

1417
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: for a long time. The economics of it, yes, but

1418
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: the moral arguments is what conservatives really need to fully

1419
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: understand and articulate the dignity of meaningful work. And again,

1420
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:29,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the work is. I want to

1421
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 1: share the story of a guy named Dallas. He was

1422
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,679
Speaker 1: at a gang. He was in a gang when he's fifteen,

1423
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: homeless by eighteen, spent decades homeless, and he couldn't do

1424
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:46,559
Speaker 1: it anymore, and he went to a charity job training

1425
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: program and the very first job that he that he

1426
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:58,160
Speaker 1: had was called push the bucket. Push the bucket. Dallas

1427
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: put on a blue uniform and he pushed a bucket

1428
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 1: and mop up and down the filthy streets of New

1429
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: York City, cleaning up trash. Now, a lot of people,

1430
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot of progressives, we'll look at that is demeaning

1431
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 1: and undignified, and it's offensive to have someone clean sidewalks

1432
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: like that, that's beneath them. Let me quote Dallas. Before long,

1433
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: I wasn't just picking trash off the streets I was

1434
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: picking up values, morals and principles. I was picking up

1435
01:27:35,040 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 1: self esteem. And I would look when I would look

1436
01:27:37,920 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: back at the block I just cleaned, and see what

1437
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,799
Speaker 1: a great job I'd done. I realized I'd picked up pride.

1438
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 1: He said, the greatest day of his life. There's a big,

1439
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: giant snowstorm in New York City and the whole city

1440
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: shut down, but he and his brothers in blue shoveled

1441
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 1: the sidewalks. And he said it was the most incredible

1442
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: day for him because he said, just a few weeks

1443
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: before that, he was sleeping on the sidewalks, sleeping in garbage,

1444
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: people stepping over, I'm ignoring him. He was dead to

1445
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: the city. And he said, now here, I am helping

1446
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: to bring this city back to life. That's what I

1447
01:28:10,439 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 1: mean by meaningful work. There's a Cardinal Dolan. He tells

1448
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: the story of the renovating of Saint Patrick's Cathedral, New

1449
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 1: York City, and he said one day he was walking

1450
01:28:21,600 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 1: around inspecting the progress and he asked one of the people,

1451
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: He said, what are you doing? And one of the

1452
01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,560
Speaker 1: workers said, you know, I'm doing the whatever, some scaffolding

1453
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: work here or whatever. And he asked another guy said

1454
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,559
Speaker 1: what are you doing. Oh, I'm doing the rewiring here.

1455
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 1: And he asked a third guy said, oh, what are

1456
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 1: you doing? And the guy said, I'm rebuilding a cathedral.

1457
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 1: Just be beamed. I'm rebuilding a cathedral. And one day

1458
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 1: I'll bring my grandkids here and show them what I

1459
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: helped to do. That's what I mean by meaningful work

1460
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 1: and progress. Who are pushing these guarantee minimum InCom there

1461
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 1: they're robbing people of this. And it's not just guaranteed

1462
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: minimum InCom I mean, it's all. It's all welfare programs

1463
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,719
Speaker 1: we currently have. It's just a failing economy. It's raising

1464
01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: taxes and results in fewer jobs, and it's all. It's

1465
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,360
Speaker 1: all these government programs that are ruining the economy. They

1466
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: all have this effect. The Cardinal quotes Pope Francis. He says,

1467
01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: and Pope Francis said, there's no worse material poverty than

1468
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 1: the poverty which prevents people from earning their bread and

1469
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: deprives them of the dignity of work. Jesus was a

1470
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 1: carpenter for the love of being. Adam and Eve, they

1471
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 1: worked the garden. God didn't have them just laying around

1472
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:46,080
Speaker 1: doing nothing. They worked but to the left, since Marxism,

1473
01:29:46,120 --> 01:29:49,640
Speaker 1: to the left, work is seen as drudgery and dehumanizing,

1474
01:29:49,680 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: and it's a bad thing. So the progressive goal is

1475
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:53,640
Speaker 1: to not work, to be free from work, to be

1476
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: liberated from work, and instead to seek pleasure. But it's

1477
01:29:57,560 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 1: pleasure is not the same as happiness. Actually, there's something

1478
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: I want to play in the next segment on that point.

1479
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Pleasure and happiness are very different, very different. Let me

1480
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: take a break here and we'll do that. Come here next.

1481
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 1: But think about this, think think always. Whenever there's a

1482
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 1: proposal from a government, we tend to think initially to

1483
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:23,439
Speaker 1: the economic aspects of it. And that's good, right, you

1484
01:30:23,479 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 1: need to do that, But think think of like I

1485
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 1: take a pause and think one step deeper, what's the

1486
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:32,280
Speaker 1: moral implications of this? And also, instead of being tricked

1487
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:36,479
Speaker 1: by the left of oh we're giving you this, no

1488
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,160
Speaker 1: such thing as a free lunch, what are you also

1489
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 1: robbing of me? Oh, we're just giving this family five

1490
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month. We're just giving them this, We're

1491
01:30:44,560 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: just giving them this, all right, what are you also

1492
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:50,920
Speaker 1: robbing of them? Robbing from them? People don't see that,

1493
01:30:51,120 --> 01:30:54,240
Speaker 1: They don't think of that until it's too late, until

1494
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,640
Speaker 1: they've already taken it. They have the thing they were

1495
01:30:56,680 --> 01:30:58,160
Speaker 1: told they were going to get, and they didn't even

1496
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 1: know that they had that thing. Take and at the

1497
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:04,559
Speaker 1: same time, so think of the moral arguments for things,

1498
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 1: and think of what's being taken when we're told we're

1499
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: being given. Mike Slater at locals dot com. Mike Slater

1504
01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 1: off the show, of course, talking about the press conference yesterday.

1505
01:31:23,800 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do a little recap have that coming

1506
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,200
Speaker 1: up as well. I'll just give you the very very

1507
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 1: short of what's going to happen right now. Only far right,

1508
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 1: fringe crazy activists are questioning Joe Biden's mental acuity, and

1509
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:42,600
Speaker 1: how dare you, by the way, how dare That's so

1510
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: unpatriotic of you. You're emboldening our enemies by questioning the

1511
01:31:47,439 --> 01:31:50,680
Speaker 1: president's mental health. And then more mainstream conservatives are going

1512
01:31:50,720 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: to do it, and then people on the far left

1513
01:31:52,560 --> 01:31:56,760
Speaker 1: are gonna try to flank the president by questioning his

1514
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: mental acuity, and then again you're gonna be attacked by

1515
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 1: the media for so how dare you? You're the worst,

1516
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 1: You're terrible, it's awful, blah blah blah. And then one

1517
01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 1: day something's going to happen, and it's gonna be so

1518
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:10,400
Speaker 1: obvious to every single person, including the Democrats, and old

1519
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Joe is going to be thrown out to pasture and

1520
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:16,799
Speaker 1: he may not even know it. And one day Kamala

1521
01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:19,599
Speaker 1: will be sitting behind the Resolute desk and that will

1522
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: be the end of Joe Biden. I don't know when

1523
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,439
Speaker 1: it's going to be. Could be pretty quick, but he

1524
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 1: ain't making it to eighty two, that's for sure. Now,

1525
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,400
Speaker 1: we told the story of Woodrow Wilson in nineteen he

1526
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,840
Speaker 1: had a terrible stroke and for a year he was

1527
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 1: still president. For a year, he was half his body

1528
01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:38,960
Speaker 1: was paralyzed. He couldn't focus for more than sixty seconds

1529
01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:41,559
Speaker 1: at a time, he couldn't speak properly, obviously, he could

1530
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 1: only see out of one eye, and for one year

1531
01:32:44,560 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 1: the media propped him up Weekend at Bernie Style, and

1532
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 1: one guy in particular, Lewis Cibold, and we read from

1533
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: the article. He wrote this article in the New York World,

1534
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,680
Speaker 1: and it was all about how healthy Woodrow Wilson was,

1535
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 1: and he was more alive than ever and sprightly and quick.

1536
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 1: I quitted and could focus now actually on the things

1537
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,880
Speaker 1: that really mattered, and like raise total like oh, he's

1538
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 1: the best person ever. And it was completely made up.

1539
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,840
Speaker 1: The whole story was completely made up, every single word

1540
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 1: of it. It never happened. The interview never happened. They

1541
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,880
Speaker 1: didn't have three hour conversation. Woodrow Wilson couldn't couldn't talk,

1542
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 1: You couldn't focus for sixty seconds. It was entirely written

1543
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,760
Speaker 1: with by the chief of staff. The only people that

1544
01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:27,920
Speaker 1: saw Woodrow Wilson for a year was his doctor, his wife,

1545
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: and his chief of staff for one years. His nineteen

1546
01:33:30,120 --> 01:33:33,360
Speaker 1: twenty They could pull that off in nineteen twenty, but

1547
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 1: can they media pulled that off in twenty twenty one.

1548
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: I'm not as certain. But that guy who wrote that article,

1549
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 1: Lewis Seibold, he won a Pulitzer Prize for it. So

1550
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:48,880
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of journalists in America today

1551
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:50,639
Speaker 1: who are going to be doing their best to prop

1552
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:52,200
Speaker 1: up Joe Biden for as long as they can, and

1553
01:33:52,240 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 1: they're going to be encouraged by the fact that if

1554
01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:55,600
Speaker 1: they do a great job of it, they'll win a

1555
01:33:55,680 --> 01:34:00,120
Speaker 1: Pulitzer for it. Anyway, that was the first half hour

1556
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,439
Speaker 1: the show. I want to continue this point about work

1557
01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:05,000
Speaker 1: and the importance of work and fulfillment and happiness. There's

1558
01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 1: a difference between pleasure and happiness that's super important. Let

1559
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 1: me build to it, though. First I want to share

1560
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:12,640
Speaker 1: this quote from Thomas Williams. He says, of all the

1561
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 1: possible privileges to have. We hear about privilege all the time, right,

1562
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 1: white privilege, sis siss, male privilege, but all this stuff

1563
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,719
Speaker 1: for all his privilege, he says, all the possible privileges

1564
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 1: to have health, beauty, charisma, intelligence, athleticism, all of which

1565
01:34:33,520 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: respect no boundaries of race, ethnicity, religion, or class, have

1566
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:42,000
Speaker 1: to be the most important by far. And of course

1567
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:44,280
Speaker 1: he's completely right. Of all the possible privileges to have

1568
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:49,840
Speaker 1: its health, beauty, charisma, intelligence, athleticism. The extreme example of

1569
01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:52,200
Speaker 1: this is Jeremy Meeks. Do you remember this guy, Jeremy

1570
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,439
Speaker 1: Meeks and name may Ringabell. He was known as the

1571
01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: hot felon So this guy, he was eighteen, he beat

1572
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,800
Speaker 1: up a sixteen year old, served two years in prison

1573
01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:07,000
Speaker 1: in California, joined the crips year later. Year after after

1574
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,560
Speaker 1: he was picked out or got out of jail, he

1575
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 1: was swept up in a stocked in gang sweep and

1576
01:35:12,240 --> 01:35:14,680
Speaker 1: his mug shot was put online and he's a good

1577
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:18,040
Speaker 1: looking guy, and it went viral and he went on

1578
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 1: to become a suit a model though grow an article

1579
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 1: they called him the buff bad boy. At the time,

1580
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:29,160
Speaker 1: he was married to a woman. They had the woman

1581
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: had two other kids. They had a kid together, and

1582
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: he got out of jail and he was with this

1583
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 1: woman still. But he was seen in the tabloids kissing

1584
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:40,920
Speaker 1: the heiress of a British billionaire on a yacht in

1585
01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:44,360
Speaker 1: the Maldives. And they now have a two year old together.

1586
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 1: But they're not together anymore, but they have a two

1587
01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:50,320
Speaker 1: they're co parenting, which is very nice. So that is

1588
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:52,240
Speaker 1: a very deep dive into the life of this person

1589
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 1: that you did not know you needed today. But that's

1590
01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,280
Speaker 1: a gang bang and felon, who no way would be

1591
01:35:57,400 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 1: able to get on a yacht with a billion are

1592
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:05,800
Speaker 1: hairis if he wasn't very very ridiculously good looking. That

1593
01:36:06,080 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: is beauty charisma or beauty privilege. I say beauty privilege,

1594
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:15,960
Speaker 1: but it's also true of other character traits too. I

1595
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,600
Speaker 1: forget the numbers exactly. You can, you can look them up,

1596
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 1: but it's um top the hype privilege, hight privilege. There,

1597
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:28,960
Speaker 1: it's something like, these are ballparks. Don't quote me none,

1598
01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 1: this is ballpark. The average height of a guy is

1599
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:37,680
Speaker 1: five nine, and it's something like two percent of men

1600
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:42,559
Speaker 1: are over six two, two percent of men over six two.

1601
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:46,559
Speaker 1: But it's like forty or fifty percent of CEOs are

1602
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:52,120
Speaker 1: over six two. And they've done they've done the math.

1603
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,680
Speaker 1: On every inch of height, you end up earning like

1604
01:36:54,880 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars more per year on average. Right, Taller

1605
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:02,200
Speaker 1: people do. Why well, because when you're taller, people have

1606
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 1: this perception that you're a better leader, or that you

1607
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:07,880
Speaker 1: have all these other characteristics of a leader. Just because

1608
01:37:07,920 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 1: you're tall, you're promoted more often. Right, height privilege. There's

1609
01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 1: also dressing nice privilege. Right, talking articulately privilege. We hired

1610
01:37:26,120 --> 01:37:28,200
Speaker 1: someone on my TV show once because he showed great

1611
01:37:28,439 --> 01:37:35,800
Speaker 1: enthusiasm for the opportunity. That's enthusiasm privilege. And if we

1612
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: would focus more on these things, then we could stop

1613
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: with the goofy race and ethnicity, bias, privilege conversation. Okay,

1614
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:50,600
Speaker 1: this is there's these YouTube videos and they're called like

1615
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what, they're rich but not happy or

1616
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: something like that. And there's a bunch of these and

1617
01:37:57,040 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 1: I love them because they just they interview celebrities or

1618
01:37:59,800 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 1: they're clips of these celebrities who are miserable. And people

1619
01:38:06,400 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: think they have it all and you're rich and you're famous,

1620
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: and you have this and that, and you also have

1621
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,080
Speaker 1: I just I recently watched the Michael Jordan documentary and

1622
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 1: there's just one scene where he's in the height of

1623
01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 1: his fame and he's sitting in the hotel room and

1624
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 1: he can't go, he can't leave. He just wants pizza.

1625
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 1: You can't leave his hotel room because you get mobbed

1626
01:38:21,600 --> 01:38:23,280
Speaker 1: by all these people. And he's miserable. He hates it,

1627
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 1: he hates his life. He's miserable. So people think that

1628
01:38:26,640 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: you know that you get rich and famous, then you

1629
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:29,360
Speaker 1: have it all and it's everything you want. But it's not.

1630
01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 1: There's a difference between pleasure and happiness. We keep seeking

1631
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:37,840
Speaker 1: after pleasure and we're missing the fulfilledness, the fulfillingness of

1632
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:40,200
Speaker 1: life that we should be seeking for instead. Anyway, here's

1633
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:42,760
Speaker 1: just an example of these videos, and this the one

1634
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:44,639
Speaker 1: at the end. The person at the end is Marilyn Monroe.

1635
01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:56,920
Speaker 1: Do you feel that you're happier right now? Sometimes? This

1636
01:38:57,200 --> 01:39:00,640
Speaker 1: is sometimes, But I feel like the way that I

1637
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:04,480
Speaker 1: have money kind of took away a lot of my happiness.

1638
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:08,800
Speaker 1: Then what happened was I then experience the things that

1639
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 1: I was culturally indoctrinated to believe would be a kind

1640
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:18,839
Speaker 1: of salvation. Fame, fortune, attention, limitless filat show if required,

1641
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:25,120
Speaker 1: And yet salvation did not come. I bought pleasure for

1642
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 1: so long. I can't buy happiness. You can buy pleasure, though,

1643
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:30,840
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say, like, oh, money isn't happiness, Well,

1644
01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: money can buy a boat and a boat and maker

1645
01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: happy to that kind of thing. I think it can

1646
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 1: completely destroy human being and it I got to a point,

1647
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 1: did it almost destroy complete? Yeah? It almost completely destroyed me.

1648
01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:43,760
Speaker 1: But I was lucky enough, by the grace of God,

1649
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 1: to have people that care about me enough to be like, hey,

1650
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:51,479
Speaker 1: j back on. Happiness is an emotional response to an outcome.

1651
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 1: If I win, I will be happy. If I don't,

1652
01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 1: I won't. It's an if then cause and effect with

1653
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 1: broke boat standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately

1654
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:05,760
Speaker 1: raise it every time we attain it. Do I feel

1655
01:40:05,840 --> 01:40:15,920
Speaker 1: happy in life? Let's see. Let's see. I hope I'm

1656
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:21,360
Speaker 1: finding happy now. But I'm not just generally happy. If

1657
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:28,519
Speaker 1: I'm generally anything, I guess I'm generally miserable. I don't know.

1658
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 1: M so sad at the end, lapse it off. I'll

1659
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,639
Speaker 1: put that video on our website, Mike Slater and locals

1660
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,519
Speaker 1: dot com. I'll end with this. Candice Bush now, she's

1661
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: written a bunch of books, including the books that inspired

1662
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 1: Sex in the City, the TV show, and she's now

1663
01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 1: in her sixties and she's miserable. So she wrote these

1664
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:51,880
Speaker 1: books about Carrie Bradshaw and the the quintessential independent woman

1665
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:54,839
Speaker 1: and forget about the patriarchy, and forget about family, forget

1666
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 1: about getting married, just go absacks and your career and

1667
01:40:58,479 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: all this time. And she took that path herself, and

1668
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:11,800
Speaker 1: she's miserable. She has no family. She never considered where

1669
01:41:11,880 --> 01:41:14,120
Speaker 1: she'd be today when she was in her twenties and thirties,

1670
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 1: because she was living the feminist dream and being married

1671
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:19,240
Speaker 1: and having kids would be a distraction from the true

1672
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:22,080
Speaker 1: feminist meaning of life, and that is work. And she

1673
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: says when she knows women in her fifties and sixties

1674
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:27,600
Speaker 1: who are clubbing and dating younger men, and like some

1675
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,599
Speaker 1: divorce their husbands because they saw their fifties as their

1676
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: last chance to find a new husband, and they're just miserable.

1677
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:36,679
Speaker 1: And it's so sad because not only is she miserable,

1678
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 1: She's inspired so many other women to have that feminist

1679
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:44,160
Speaker 1: mindset that work is paramount of life. And I'll never marry,

1680
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:46,320
Speaker 1: I'll never have kids. And here she is finally admitting

1681
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: that that was not wise. Counsel, be careful about these

1682
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 1: influences in life, these forces in life. Make sure your

1683
01:41:56,400 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 1: kids understand the difference between pleasure and happiness. I want

1684
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,439
Speaker 1: to come back with something that I can't believe this

1685
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: comes up every year. I'm so sick of the story.

1686
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 1: It comes up every year, and I can't believe the

1687
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 1: Left still tries it. We'll do the very short of

1688
01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 1: it next Mike's later dot locals dot com. That's my website.

1689
01:42:14,040 --> 01:42:16,000
Speaker 1: Feeling in for box Sexton spread the word eighteen Buck,

1690
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:18,200
Speaker 1: Mike Slater, San Diego feeling in for Box Sexton. I

1691
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 1: don't Every year they keep doing this, they keep harping

1692
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,439
Speaker 1: on this. I guess the other day was Women's pay

1693
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 1: Day or equal pay Day or out of something. And

1694
01:42:27,320 --> 01:42:30,600
Speaker 1: every year they preyed up the women's soccer team. I

1695
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,439
Speaker 1: don't know who thinks this is a good idea or

1696
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 1: that this messaging and marketing works from these people, I

1697
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 1: don't know, And they get up there and they talk

1698
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: about how unfair it is that the women's soccer team

1699
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 1: makes less money than the men's soccer team. How do

1700
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:45,760
Speaker 1: people not see this yet? Here's Meghan Rapino at the

1701
01:42:45,800 --> 01:42:49,400
Speaker 1: White House. I'm a member of the LGBTQ community with

1702
01:42:49,560 --> 01:42:52,720
Speaker 1: pink hair, and where I come from, I could have

1703
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 1: only dreamed that I would be standing in the position

1704
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,080
Speaker 1: I am today at the White House. I'm also a

1705
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:01,560
Speaker 1: professional athlete, and I've helped, along with all of my

1706
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: teammates virtually here today, one teammate literally here today, win

1707
01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:10,479
Speaker 1: four World Cup championships and four Olympic gold medals for

1708
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 1: the United States. And despite those wins, I've been devalued.

1709
01:43:15,640 --> 01:43:19,840
Speaker 1: I've been disrespected and dismissed because I am a woman,

1710
01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: and I've been told that I don't deserve any more

1711
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:27,680
Speaker 1: than less because I am a woman. You see, despite

1712
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: all the wins, I'm still paid less than men who

1713
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 1: do the same job that I do. For each trophy,

1714
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,320
Speaker 1: of which there are many, and for each win, for

1715
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 1: each tie, and for each time that we play, it's less.

1716
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 1: And I know there are millions of people who are

1717
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:49,679
Speaker 1: marginalized by gender in the world and experience the same

1718
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,040
Speaker 1: thing in their jobs. And I know that there are

1719
01:43:52,120 --> 01:43:55,560
Speaker 1: people who experience even more where the layers of discrimination

1720
01:43:56,720 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 1: continue to stack against them. And I and my teammates

1721
01:44:00,320 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: are here for them. We own the US women's national

1722
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 1: team today, are here because of them. Yeah, that's all

1723
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 1: I can take is that they good. I love this.

1724
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:11,760
Speaker 1: I am deef value, disrespected, and dismissed because I am

1725
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: a woman, says the millionaire soccer player while speaking with

1726
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:19,160
Speaker 1: the President and First Lady at the White House. It's

1727
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:21,040
Speaker 1: the same as Meghan Marko a couple weeks ago saying

1728
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:24,479
Speaker 1: I have no voice. I just have no voice, as

1729
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: she's doing an interview with Oprah in front of one

1730
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: hundred million people. No voice, all right, So here's the deal. Megan.

1731
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Speaker 1: It's not that you deserve less money because you're a woman.

1732
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:41,519
Speaker 1: It's that you deserve to make less money because your

1733
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:46,040
Speaker 1: sport makes no money. Men's soccer is the most popular

1734
01:44:46,080 --> 01:44:51,720
Speaker 1: sport in the world, women's soccer isn't. You may win

1735
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:54,519
Speaker 1: more games against women's teams, but no one buys tickets

1736
01:44:54,560 --> 01:44:56,280
Speaker 1: to see them, and that's all that matters. Because here's

1737
01:44:56,280 --> 01:44:58,519
Speaker 1: the deal. This is tricky for people to understand you,

1738
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 1: not for you to understand. For most people, you don't

1739
01:45:01,680 --> 01:45:04,640
Speaker 1: do the same job as men's soccer players. This is

1740
01:45:04,680 --> 01:45:07,000
Speaker 1: what they're concerned. They're They're like, oh, we do the

1741
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 1: same job. We both play soccer, and we're actually better.

1742
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,960
Speaker 1: We win games. The men's soccer team doesn't win games.

1743
01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 1: That's not the point. That's not your job. Your job

1744
01:45:14,479 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 1: is not to play soccer. You thought your job was

1745
01:45:17,320 --> 01:45:21,360
Speaker 1: to play soccer. I don't know. Your job is to

1746
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:26,880
Speaker 1: generate revenue. Your job is to sell tickets so people

1747
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 1: buy hot dogs and soda in the stands. Your job

1748
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,040
Speaker 1: is to generate revenue by having people watch your games

1749
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 1: so they can sell TV commercials. That's your job. You

1750
01:45:36,680 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 1: do it by playing soccer. But playing soccer's not your job.

1751
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 1: Your job is to generate revenue, and the men do

1752
01:45:41,040 --> 01:45:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot more of that thing. That is a very

1753
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 1: important difference. It's true for every job. I have a

1754
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:51,439
Speaker 1: radio show, Buck has a radio show. Right, I get

1755
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:54,880
Speaker 1: paid less, and I can't say, oh, that's unfair. Buck

1756
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:56,840
Speaker 1: and I both do the same job. No you don't,

1757
01:45:57,920 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 1: I mean, oh, yeah we do. We both have three

1758
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:02,800
Speaker 1: hour radio shows. Yeah yeah, Buck generates more money for

1759
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,639
Speaker 1: the company. Your job's not to talk for three hours.

1760
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 1: Your jobs to generate revenue. It's true for everyone. But

1761
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 1: this is our narcissistic Megan Rippino as she thinks her

1762
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 1: job is to play soccer. Also, you lost a game

1763
01:46:13,720 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago to a team of fifteen

1764
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:17,519
Speaker 1: year old boys. Right. I love Biden the other day

1765
01:46:17,560 --> 01:46:20,360
Speaker 1: said women can do anything that men can do. That's

1766
01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:27,120
Speaker 1: not true. That definitely, most definitely not true. Nor would

1767
01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:28,840
Speaker 1: you want it to be true. That's what's weird about

1768
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: the progressive world as well, nor would you want to.

1769
01:46:30,960 --> 01:46:33,000
Speaker 1: Actually this ties into the third segment we had today

1770
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,320
Speaker 1: about the pyramid. I'm time to go into it now.

1771
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:39,960
Speaker 1: But Ali best Stucky, who I love, has a great quote.

1772
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: She said, maybe I'm weird but I just don't need

1773
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,639
Speaker 1: this patronizing nonsense to feel great about being a woman.

1774
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm so glad there are things men can do that

1775
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm also pretty thrilled that I can do

1776
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:54,200
Speaker 1: things men can't, like carrying and delivering babies. I don't

1777
01:46:54,240 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 1: want to be like a man. How ungrateful to can

1778
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,320
Speaker 1: you be? To be a woman? In America today the safest,

1779
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 1: most prosperous time to ever be alive. You play soccer

1780
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 1: for a living, You travel the world. Do you make

1781
01:47:07,520 --> 01:47:08,840
Speaker 1: a pretty good living out of it? Do you know?

1782
01:47:08,880 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: There were times when Major League baseball players needed a

1783
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 1: second job to make ends meet on the off season.

1784
01:47:14,520 --> 01:47:18,680
Speaker 1: There's a baseball card of nineteen seventy three, and on

1785
01:47:18,800 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 1: the back is a cartoon of a baseball player pumping gas.

1786
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:26,360
Speaker 1: Because in the off season, this player pumped a gas

1787
01:47:27,160 --> 01:47:32,519
Speaker 1: and installed air conditioners. That was nineteen seventy three. Back then,

1788
01:47:32,560 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 1: the Major League baseball minimum was fifteen thousand dollars. He

1789
01:47:35,200 --> 01:47:37,439
Speaker 1: needed a second job. Today, the minimum in the major

1790
01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:42,600
Speaker 1: leagues is four hundred thousand dollars. All right, so this

1791
01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 1: is a new phenomenon. Even that men were paid any money.

1792
01:47:47,880 --> 01:47:49,960
Speaker 1: You're a woman today on the US soccer team. You

1793
01:47:50,040 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 1: make one hundred and seventy thousand dollars a year. I'd

1794
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 1: be pretty darngrateful for them team. Hope you have a

1795
01:47:56,080 --> 01:47:58,840
Speaker 1: wonderful weekend. Mike's later dot locals dot com. We can

1796
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:01,479
Speaker 1: hang out all weekend and we'll see you again. True story.

1797
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: Mike later spread the word
