1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Good evening. Welcome to tune in Tuesday. This is season two,

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: episode twenty seven of The Patriots podcast. We live stream

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: every Tuesday night at seven thirty pm right here from

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: the America First Warehouse on Long Island, New York. Welcome everybody. Hi.

5
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: You'll notice we're a little light on our cast tonight.

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: We are missing some of our regular girls. Crystal and

7
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Shannon are celebrating their mom, Ronnie's birthday. Happy Birthday, Ronnie.

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: Happy birthday, Ronnie. We love you.

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: They're celebrating and true Daughters of Revolution spirit at the

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Culper spy Ring Restaurant in Satakat. How fun is that?

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: So we'll have to hear all about that next week.

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: It's fitting since they have the history and their family

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 3: it is it.

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Is where else would they do that?

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 4: Right?

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: And then, of course Tea is still home recovering, so

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: we're still with you, Tea. We're praying for you and

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: we can't wait to have you back feel better. Yeah,

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: so we do have not quite a Patriot.

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: On this day. Agent whatever you want one.

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: Thing one of these doesn't look like the other. But anyway,

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: we have a wonderful guest, Nick Jordano. He's an esteemed professor,

23
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a political science professor. He runs a podcast called The

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: pas Report Political Podcast. And we're very happy and honored

25
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: to have you with us tonight.

26
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 4: Next Lla to be here. Welcome welckim.

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So tell us a little bit about yourself and

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: what you do and how you came to do it.

29
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 5: Well, I'm probably one of a very few conservative academics

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 5: that exist in this day and age, and obviously academia

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 5: has been taken over. So I jumped into academia twenty

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 5: years ago. I got into the classroom. During that time,

33
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 5: I was a little bit of an adjunct for eight years,

34
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 5: and I was in emergency management and homeland security doing that,

35
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: which was fun. But then a full time slot opened up,

36
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 5: so I jumped into it. And then over the years

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 5: my students always encouraged me to start a podcast, and.

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 4: So finally I just took the plunge.

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 5: I figured I could speak in a three hour class

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: without missing a beat, how hard could it be? And

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 5: then I just created a massive amount of work for myself.

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: It's not as easy as it looks when we're up here.

43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: That's for sure.

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: It's definitely not.

45
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: The lot goes into it. How long, where do you

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: find your podcast?

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 5: By the way, anyone could go to any podcast platform,

48
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 5: so Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google, you name it, I'm on

49
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: it and they just type in PAS Report Nicholas Stradano

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 5: and it will pop up.

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: Great, awesome.

52
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: How long have you been doing that.

53
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 5: I've been doing it now for about four years. And

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 5: the main reason I did it was to give Americans

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 5: an education because in the schools they're being toilet to

56
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: have disdained for the country, to hate the country. And

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 5: you look, most Americans never read the founding documents. They

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: don't understand the roles and responsibilities of our institutions, and

59
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 5: they don't understand what this if the obligations are. So

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 5: the podcast is really centered about getting back to our founding,

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 5: looking at limited government, personal responsibility, self reliance, all the

62
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 5: things that made America is such an exceptional nation, each

63
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 5: people what the American identity is. And then obviously I'll

64
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 5: talk about the political issues of a day, provide my

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 5: analysis on it, the good, the bad, the ugly, and

66
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 5: there's a lot of ugly.

67
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: There is, Oh yeah, there is.

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 3: I just heard today that the Supreme Court announced that

69
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 3: they sided with President Trump on the band for him

70
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: to eliminate government workers.

71
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 5: Well, what we're witnessing by the courts, the lower courts

73
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 5: has been completely ridiculous. If we look at the nationwide injunctions,

74
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 5: President Trump has more nationwide injunctions against them than all

75
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: the other presidents combined in the twentieth century. And they

76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: stopped them from firing. This was about provisional employees. These

77
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 5: weren't civil service workers. They don't get civil service protection.

78
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of like illegal aliens who don't have the

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: protections of our government.

80
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: But go ahead, Well, it's amazing, like they say that

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: the president can enforce immigration law, that the president can

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 5: determine who works for the bureaucracy, who and even if

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 5: they're provisional, who could join the military, and who can

84
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 5: I mean, whether or not we fund THEI you look

85
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: at it. Everything they're trying to stop Trump from doing.

86
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 5: I asked, well, then what can.

87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 4: A president that's right? Why even have a president at

88
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: that point?

89
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: Exactly?

90
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 5: And the judiciary has tried to usurp the role of

91
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 5: the Chief executive.

92
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 4: Booficer of the United States.

93
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 5: It's nice to see that the system is working, though,

94
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: because the Supreme Court is stepping in saying that these

95
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: district court judges are going well beyond their bounds.

96
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: Thank god.

97
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And when you look at what they're

98
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: doing to him, and he's not just ignoring what's being

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: done like Biden did, and like you know prior, you know,

100
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: he doesn't just say, forget what you said, Supreme Court,

101
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: I'm going to go do whatever I want to do.

102
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: He is actually going through the process process and getting

103
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: it up to the Supreme Court level.

104
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: And then these things are being overturned.

105
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: Well, that's a great point.

106
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: I know they try and label them a fascist and

107
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 5: a dictator and authoritarian. Yet it was the previous president

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 5: that said he didn't care what the Supreme Court ruled

109
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: when it came to student law and forgetness. In fact,

110
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 5: he actually bragged about it. So it's interesting how it works.

111
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 5: He is abiding by the lower court rulings until it

112
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: gets to the Supreme Court. But again it's something that

113
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 5: shouldn't even be before the court's at the first place, exactly.

114
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 5: But it shows that the Supreme Court is still doing

115
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 5: their due diligence. They're hearing the cases that they're listening

116
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: and looking at the evidence, and they're ruling within the

117
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 5: constitutional boundaries of the United States, thank god, and that

118
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 5: to me is critically important here.

119
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: It is critically.

120
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 3: Important, and it's actually showing the law fair, it's showing

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: like by him doing this, it actually is showing.

122
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: How corrupt the system has become.

123
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you think that just because you know

124
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: we live in a world of law and order, that

125
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 3: you really do.

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's tough.

127
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: It's tough to have to watch this happen when we

128
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: know really what he's capable of doing, and it's just what.

129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: He's authorized today, what he has the authority, the constitutionally appointed,

130
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: like the way our government was set up. That is,

131
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: he's doing and trying to do what he has permitted

132
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: and authorized to do and meeting a lot of stumbling

133
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: blocks right, a lot.

134
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: Of absolutely, And I think it on my part, it's

135
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 5: so frustrating watching the ideologues that hit on the bench

136
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 5: that are ruling by ideology. They're not taking any constitution

137
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 5: constitutional arguments into consideration. It's they want to push a

138
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 5: far left agenda. They want to engage in judicial activism.

139
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 5: And to me, that's the worst part because we've seen

140
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 5: our entire government taken over by ideologues the public servants anymore.

141
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: They believe that they exist to rule over us.

142
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: That's been going on for a long time, way before

143
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Trump administration. I mean our government. In my opinion, I

144
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: feel like our government's been usurped by. And you can

145
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: look at any side either party. Lots of people who

146
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: just don't have the will of the people. They don't

147
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,559
Speaker 1: go up there and serve the will of the people.

148
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 5: Well, I say, when I was an emergency management and

149
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 5: I worked for the New York State Office of Emergency Management,

150
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 5: so ultimately my boss was Emperor Cuomo. I wasn't a

151
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: big fan of Emperor Cuomo, but never once in any

152
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 5: type of an emergency did I say, well, the governor

153
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 5: is wrong, so I'm going to inject my conservative ideology

154
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: and we're only going to deliver resources to red communities,

155
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: not blue communities. It never crossed my mind to put

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 5: my politics into the job and the mission that we

157
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: were doing. And that has changed dramatically, and it's almost

158
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: as if the bureaucracy itself has emerged as the fourth

159
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: branch of government that seems independent of Congress and even

160
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 5: independent of the presidency. Some can argue that the bureaucracy

161
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 5: has become more powerful than the president, and that to

162
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 5: me is alarming. You know, the president's supposed to be

163
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 5: in charge of the bureaucracy. Congress has oversight over it.

164
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: But when you have a bureaucracy that does whatever it

165
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 5: wants without any fear of accountability or anything, when you

166
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 5: have judges in the district court level that believe that

167
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 5: they could inject their ideology into it, that's not what

168
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: the founders intended.

169
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 3: No, so let's talk about this one, big beautiful bill

170
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: before we've got a few minutes left here.

171
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that passed on his desk on July.

172
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: Fourth, fourth of July. Amazing, Yeah, big beautiful bill on

173
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: big beautiful fourth of July.

174
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 5: Well, it's a big bill, and there are elements of

175
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 5: it that are beautiful, elements not so beautiful. And I

176
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 5: think that reveals one of the interesting things during this

177
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: whole debate is the Republicans fighting amongst themselves, exchanging ideas,

178
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 5: talking about the issues and the policies, where Democrats just

179
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: know it's bad and that's it. The reality is no

180
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 5: piece of legislation is ever going to be perfect.

181
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: There's always going to be trade offs.

182
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 5: I don't like the fact of these you know, thousand,

183
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 5: two thousand page bills coming before kind of said that

184
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: nobody reads them. Yeah, I don't like that aspect to it.

185
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 5: But the good thing is that the tax cuts are

186
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 5: now permanent. They've been codified into the system, and so

187
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: we don't have to worry about our taxes going now.

188
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 5: Being from New York, I am happy that the salt

189
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 5: deduction got raised.

190
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,479
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people don't like that out there.

191
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 5: But listen, we subsidize flood insurance for a lot of

192
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: people throughout the country, and so if I'm feeling some

193
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 5: economic relief.

194
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: I'm happy about it. It's about self interest.

195
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 5: I like the fact that we're funding border patrol and

196
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: ice and our border. I like the missile defense system

197
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 5: that we're going to be building out. What I don't

198
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 5: like is that it didn't tackle spending. And there'll be

199
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 5: Republicans that criticize me and say, well, this wasn't really

200
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 5: a spending bill, but it kind of was, because we

201
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 5: increase spending in defense and immigration and we have to

202
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 5: get rid of a waste, fraud and abuse within the government.

203
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 5: I also don't like the fact that we didn't see

204
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: any real reforms within this bill. It's not supposed to

205
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 5: be necessarily a policy bill.

206
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 4: But we've seen the abuse of.

207
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 5: The bureaucracy throughout the years, from the FBI, the CIA,

208
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 5: national Intelligence, OD and I and so I would like

209
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 5: to see that begin to be rained in and as

210
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 5: right now I don't see it.

211
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Why do you think that is, Nick, you have any

212
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on you know.

213
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: Because the bureaucracy is a powerful force.

214
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that it's easy to say when you're

215
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 5: the minority party and you're not in power, that hey,

216
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 5: these agencies are abusing their power. We need to cut funding,

217
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 5: we need to bring them in. But then once you

218
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 5: take control, Republicans like power too.

219
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: And we have to be people like power.

220
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: Think about PISA, okay, Republicans, ever since Trump and the

221
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: Russian collusion hoax, Republicans have been screaming about PISA. Republicans

222
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 5: get a chance to reform it, and they most of

223
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 5: them vote just to keep it going.

224
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 3: Yeah.

225
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's disappointing for sure. Sometimes. You know, I used

226
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: to try to give a little bit of a grace

227
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,599
Speaker 1: to say, well, you know, you have to give a

228
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: little to get a little baby steps. But in you know,

229
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: thousand page documents and bills of this size, you would

230
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: hope that we would have seen a little bit more

231
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: in the way of reform, no doubt for the corruption

232
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: that we see and having accountability come back, because otherwise

233
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: it just will continue, it'll Permerti.

234
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 5: And I think the abuses of power that we've witnessed,

235
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: I mean, I could go back to the n Essay

236
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: spying on every single American collecting the metadata through the

237
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 5: prison program because of a Patriot Act. We saw a

238
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 5: Lois Learner at the IRS targeting tea party groups. The CIA,

239
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 5: John Brennan CIA in twenty fourteen was quot splying on

240
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,479
Speaker 5: literally sitting members at the United States Senate Intelligence Committee,

241
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 5: and not a single person was held accountable.

242
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: We know about the Russian collusion hopes.

243
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: And Americans are like hungry for accountability and they're hungry

244
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: for that. I think people on both sides of the

245
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: aisle want that and we need to see it. So

246
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how we go from here to there

247
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: and get that done, but it definitely needs to happen.

248
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: And the other piece before we go to commercial break

249
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: is definitely I agree with you wholeheartedly. You know, the

250
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: piece about reigning and the spending in the waste. I mean,

251
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: that was the whole idea of DOJE. Everybody was so

252
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: excited to see it, and then what happened. But anyway,

253
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: we have to go to commercial break. We will be

254
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: right back. We're going to bring some more guests on.

255
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Stay tuned, Welcome back. We're here with Nick Jordano, Professor

256
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: of political science and podcaster, fellow podcaster. We're discussing the

257
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: big beautiful bill, what we like, what we don't like.

258
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: There's not enough time, way too much in it to

259
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: get into all of it. But we left off at

260
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: commercial break talking about the doge and all the things

261
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: that we were excited to see, all the waste and

262
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: everything exposed, and then what happened. Nothing nothing, a big

263
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: nothing burger.

264
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 5: And it's frustrating because we spend about six point eight

265
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 5: trillion dollars per year in the United States since COVID

266
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 5: COVID has been I mean it was over for me

267
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: March twenty twenty.

268
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I a memory storry.

269
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, but COVID ended officially about two years ago, three

270
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 5: years ago. So why are we still spending at those levels?

271
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 5: I Mean, you would think that it shouldn't be that

272
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 5: hard temporary spending to cut and yet we see the

273
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 5: swamp at play because think about how much money that

274
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 5: people employ that that money being funneled out to the

275
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 5: NGOs and the far left NGOs. So hopefully we have

276
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 5: the budget bills that will be coming up in a

277
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 5: couple about a month or two. They're already developing them.

278
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: Hopefully we'll start to see cuts there. But as far

279
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 5: as the big beautiful bill goes, I was disappointed in

280
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 5: the lack of cutting. At the same time, I recognized

281
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 5: that they had to get this build done.

282
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, controls the one show.

283
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 3: Just to interrupt you one second, control them? Can you

284
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: bring up cut one? There we go, thank you. So

285
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: it's a little description of what's the main the main

286
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: talking points in the bill hit something. Yeah, they had

287
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 3: to get this done. They had to otherwise we would

288
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: have the hugest tax increase in history.

289
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 5: Well, not only that, it would have newed the Trump

290
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,599
Speaker 5: administration could have had a huge failure for the Republicans,

291
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: who had been reminiscent of the healthcare bill that came

292
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: up when they tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act,

293
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 5: And I don't think that they would have been able

294
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: to get anything passed.

295
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 4: If this failed, this keeps.

296
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 5: The momentum going for Trump and his administration to do

297
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 5: what they believe is an America's best interest and what

298
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: many of us feel is in our best day.

299
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: The mandate, it truly was a mandate.

300
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: Now the cuts on the cuts on spending that we're

301
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: looking to, you know, we need to cut this deficit.

302
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: So what are your thoughts on the tariffs and how

303
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: they affect it and how it affects growth in the country.

304
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: You know, the tariffs that were designed for him as.

305
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: A as like a negotiating tool with these other countries, well,

306
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: well it to force manufacturing and building back into our

307
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: country to bring those companies back here.

308
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: Correct.

309
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: I think the tariff conversation is really interesting. Not that

310
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 5: people find tariffs interesting, but the tariff conversation is interesting

311
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 5: because we're all told that if these tariffs are implemented, the.

312
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: Whole economy is going to crash.

313
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 5: We're going to go into a recession, possibly depression.

314
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: And Americans won't be able to get goods.

315
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: We'll see shortages, and that's not happening.

316
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: And they constantly referenced, you know, going back to the

317
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 5: nineteen twenties, nineteen thirties in tariff's ou place, and then

318
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 5: you go back to the eighteen hundreds, and I'm sitting

319
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 5: there as a political scientists. We we're in a much

320
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 5: different world than we were in the nineteen twenties and thirties,

321
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: where you know, ninety percent of the goods that were

322
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 5: made in the United States in the nineteen thirties were

323
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 5: purchased in the United States and the economies are all

324
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: into dependent now. And what's happened was following the Cold

325
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: War or during the Cold War, America gave out these

326
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 5: generous trade deals because it was simple.

327
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: It was a game of numbers.

328
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 5: We wanted more people coming to us than going to

329
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: the Soviets, and we wanted people to back us. So

330
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: these trade disparities have existed for a long time. And

331
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 5: then once the Soviet Union collapsed, presidents behind the scenes

332
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 5: tried pushing other nations, you have to take more goods,

333
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 5: you can't put tariffs on American products. And none of

334
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 5: those countries ever listened.

335
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: They just completely ignored it.

336
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: No one did anything about it until bend Over that

337
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: was about.

338
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely well.

339
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: The presidents that have passed they believed in this idea

340
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: of decorum that you can't call allies out publicly.

341
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: Or anything like that.

342
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 5: Then President Trump comes into office and it's bawling to China.

343
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 5: Trun no holds bar, will call allies out, he will

344
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: criticize them. I think probably one of the best meetings

345
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 5: that they had was the NATO meeting in his first term,

346
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 5: where he literally called out Germany in front of the

347
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: entire world, said why are you purchasing all this guests

348
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: from Russia? Why aren't you purchasing it from the United States.

349
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: Why aren't you putting in what you're.

350
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: And he put them right on the spot.

351
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: Listen, we're in a global competition, even with our allies,

352
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: and sometimes you have to call the allies out.

353
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: And Trump did that.

354
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: Now some countries are responding, some countries are trying to

355
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 5: play hardball. But the idea that we can't bring manufacturing

356
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 5: back to the United States, well maybe not in every

357
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 5: area can we bring, but we certainly can bring some

358
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: manufacturer absolutely, And I think that he understands that. He

359
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 5: also understands the sentiment of the people. Yes, people are

360
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 5: tired of being talked down to, They're tired of the condescension,

361
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: They're tired of your jobs and that coming back learn

362
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: to code nice.

363
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: Well, they're also yeah, they're also tired. I think everybody's

364
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: also tired of feeling like everything happens behind some closed door.

365
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: We have no idea. We just are the poor recipients

366
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: of the crap, you know, and the thing's not working

367
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: out in our favor and people not really pushing for us. So,

368
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: in my opinion, while it may come across crass and

369
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: like with minimal decorum or none, at times, I think

370
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: sometimes it's necessary and I think it's been refreshing for

371
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: a lot of the American people to be able to

372
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: witness somebody actually fighting for us.

373
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 2: That's right.

374
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

375
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, I'm a New Yorker, so I

376
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 5: understand the New York mindset.

377
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: That our nature absolutely say it like it is.

378
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 5: But I think more importantly is I want a president

379
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 5: that's going to be an a hole, right, I mean,

380
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 5: you know what he needs to Jimmy Carter was a

381
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: nice guy, but he had a administration.

382
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was terrible.

383
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 5: You're dealing with sharks on the world stage. You're dealing

384
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 5: with all these world leaders that are looking out for

385
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: what's in their self interest and their country self interest.

386
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 5: They're not going to sit there and do what's in

387
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 5: a man's interest.

388
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: That's right.

389
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 5: President Trump is the first president that is forcefully pushing

390
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 5: the idea of America First.

391
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 2: But he's doing it without a war, correct doing.

392
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 4: It, and he's doing it in fashion.

393
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: Again, this fascist dictator has the most transparent administration.

394
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: Even watching our lifetime public.

395
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, watching the cabinet meetings. I mean like three quarters

396
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 3: of the cabinet meetings are with the press standing over

397
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: the people in the room, hovering over the table, taping

398
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 3: recording everything.

399
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: That's remarkable.

400
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

401
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 5: Well, I think even liberal and progressive members that are

402
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: pressed from the far left are so happy right now

403
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 5: because they process have their jobs back, right, They actually

404
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 5: have something to do. They have an administration that's willing

405
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 5: to engage with them.

406
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 4: May not like the.

407
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 5: Answers they receive, but I think even they're happy about it.

408
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 4: They just will never admit it publicly.

409
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 3: He's manipulating them more than they even know, all.

410
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, totally, totally, no doubt. So, I mean along

411
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: these lines I like to talk about. I mean, there's

412
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: lots to talk about in the bill. Do we want

413
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: to address any other things?

414
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: Well, that's no tax on tips, no tax on over time.

415
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 3: And I do know that there are caps to that.

416
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 3: It's not like a blatant across the board.

417
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 5: But people don't understand the caps. So the twenty it's

418
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 5: not twenty five.

419
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 4: Thousand dollars and it's no tax.

420
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: It's if you make seventy five thousand, it's to twenty five.

421
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 4: From fifty to seventy five.

422
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: That's not taxax.

423
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 5: So basically you're not going to be thrusted into a

424
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: higher rate. And I think that's really important for people

425
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 5: to know because a lot of people are like criticizing it. Well,

426
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 5: you said no tax on tips. Now it's only twenty

427
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 5: five thousand, it still makes a big difference, right, because

428
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 5: if you're making fifty thousand dollars or less as taxable income,

429
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 5: essentially you're not paying much in tax, right right, So

430
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: it is a benefit.

431
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 4: Plus. I also argue, well, it's better.

432
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,959
Speaker 1: Than no nothing.

433
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: You know, I'm paying more.

434
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 5: It doesn't make any sense like people like, oh, well

435
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 5: he said no tax on tips, this is nothing.

436
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 4: Well no, it's better. It's something if I could get.

437
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 5: If waiters and waitresses and those that live off tips,

438
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: if they could save two thousand dollars a year.

439
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: That's two dollars year.

440
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: Savings for a family.

441
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, unfortunately, the Democrats, they play this

442
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 5: narrative game. Sure, someone that's paying a million dollars in taxes,

443
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 5: it may save you know, one hundred thousand dollars with

444
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 5: certain tax cuts that are implemented. But the person making

445
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 5: fifty thousand dollars saving two thousand dollars, well, that's just

446
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 5: a lot more more.

447
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: And these are typically like lower earners in the country, right,

448
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: so it's a bigger impact. And the same thing with

449
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: the Social Security. No tax on social Security, why should

450
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: that be taxed? Why should that money be taxed?

451
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 5: Especially you paid into you paid taxes money taxes on

452
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 5: the back end. But the government loves to tax. I mean,

453
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 5: let's face it, Democrats love to tax. And unfortunately they

454
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 5: they think that you could just tax everyone to till

455
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: there's no more income to tax, and that's going to

456
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 5: solve all problems.

457
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 4: It's not. It's just going to make things worse.

458
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: We can look across the pond and we can look

459
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: up to our north and we can see, you know

460
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 1: what that crazy taxation for socialism.

461
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: We just York, we just celebrated blood New York. We

462
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 3: just celebrated a holiday for that reason.

463
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: Yes, and our founders overs and taxing.

464
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not saying we should start a revolution.

465
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 5: Interestingly enough, the British were taxing us about three percent.

466
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are we at now?

467
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 4: Now we're upwards of anywhere.

468
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 5: Well, if we're looking at federal anywhere from twelve to

469
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 5: thirty seven percent, but then we factor in state local

470
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 5: property taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, and it's probably closer

471
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 5: to about fifty fifty five percent.

472
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

473
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 4: So it's amazing.

474
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 5: You think the whole America founding was birth because the

475
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 5: British pushed too far and we had no taxation word

476
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 5: out representation.

477
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: Now look how we're getting tax like crazy? How did

478
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 4: we get still don't have representation right? Right?

479
00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: It's insanity, it is.

480
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 4: But the voter.

481
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 5: We have to blame the voters, right, I mean, we're

482
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 5: from a high tax state in New York. We constantly

483
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 5: complain about property taxes on Long Island.

484
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 4: Yet every time.

485
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 5: There's a school budget vote, you know, it gets approved,

486
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 5: I know, and they say, well, you can't take funding

487
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 5: from the students.

488
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: Well no, if you look.

489
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: That funding isn't going to the students. It's not going

490
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 1: to and nothing against you know, people earning a fair living.

491
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: But some of these I mean, listen, we've all seen

492
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: the cover of news Day when it's exploding with all

493
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: of the public information on these superintendents and principles of

494
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: districts and make it more than President of the United

495
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: States with a passion and benefits, and I mean that

496
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: doesn't include all of that. It's it's nuts and it's unsustainable.

497
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: I was saying that at my school board meetings decades

498
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: ago when my kids were young. I'm like, this is unsustainable. People.

499
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: Everybody's got to reach into their pocket somehow someway.

500
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 5: Well, and let's be honest, it's not like, you know,

501
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 5: we're graduating a bunch of Einstein's. I mean the students

502
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: that come into my class from the first day class

503
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 5: I give a citizenship exempt and nearly almost every single

504
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 5: one arm fails that except for a handful that's desired.

505
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: The Russian Constitution.

506
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: I just replaced Russian Federation with United States everywhere, and

507
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,239
Speaker 5: they actually think they're reading the Constitution, and I have

508
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 5: to tell them that they know more about Russia than America.

509
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 5: So let's be honest, something's broken within the education system,

510
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 5: and it's not the financial ass right now, there's plenty

511
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 5: of money that's going to the schools.

512
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's by design, as is the demolition

513
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: of our country bit by bit, and it's very upsetting

514
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: to watch. But again, at least we have a president

515
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: in place now who is visibly fighting for us and

516
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: for the American mandate, which was all of these things

517
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: and many more. And we could go all night talking

518
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: about all the stuff in the Still definitely, I know

519
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: we have to go to commercial break again in a second,

520
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: so sadly we'll have to come back in a minute.

521
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Give us three minutes and we'll be right back. We're

522
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: going to have guests on.

523
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760

Speaker 6: It's terrible.

536
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 7: Honestly, this is the worst tragedy.

537
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 6: To ever hit this part exit.

538
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 7: We currently have over one hundred and nine people that

539
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 7: are deceased, including many, many children that are between the

540
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 7: ages of sixty twelve, especially little girls. We're still missing

541
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 7: one hundred and sixty people, right, and.

542
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 6: All of those are presumed time.

543
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's way too it's seventy it's over seventy two

544
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 3: hours now. Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's heartbreaking. It's just heartbreaking.

545
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: I watch it, I see it on TV. I follow

546
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: what's going on on social media, and it's just devastating.

547
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 3: I cannot imagine what those parents must feel like, you know.

548
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: Entire communities.

549
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, all you do is pray and just pray for them.

550
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: It's just so sad.

551
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: So tell us from your perspective a little bit. I

552
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: don't know, not everyone in the audience is going to know,

553
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: But you guys have a home down there close by

554
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: to where all this has been happening, So talk about

555
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: that a bit.

556
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 6: We do.

557
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 7: So God gave my husband and I a property in Fredericksburg, Texas,

558
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 7: and we're currently.

559
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 6: At bed and Breakfast.

560
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 7: We're housing twenty five first responders and rescue teams right now,

561
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 7: and we don't know how long that's going to last.

562
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 6: Some of the National Rescue teams have said that they'll

563
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 6: be here over a month.

564
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 7: And I'm going to come on in a couple weeks

565
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 7: and talk about JA six road Home, which is my ministry,

566
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 7: but it has kind of just turned into the road

567
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 7: Home Ministries because there's so many people that are in

568
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 7: need right now. I can tell you that the handsome

569
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 7: feet of Jesus are showing it up and we've been

570
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 7: overwhelmed with the amount of support. We can currently house

571
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 7: over one hundred and forty first responders our area.

572
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 6: We're about thirty miles.

573
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 7: From the worst of the Floodstone God, and we have

574
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 7: thank you.

575
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 6: It's all of the other little.

576
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 7: B and bs and businesses and hotels and individual people

577
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 7: that have stepped up that have.

578
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 6: An extra bedroom in their house.

579
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: You know, that's really wonderful.

580
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 3: It's really wonderful because I've been hearing and as through

581
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: watching people want to know what they can.

582
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: Do, What can they do?

583
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 3: They can't get out there in the water, in the trees,

584
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 3: in the debris, you know, and they want to do things,

585
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 3: and I guess, and it also give gives you a

586
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: sense of you know that you're able to help somehow.

587
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: You know, you can't change the fact that people have

588
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 3: died and that this is the it's just such a horrible,

589
00:26:55,040 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 3: horrible situation. But what you're doing is really it's got work.

590
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 2: It really is. And you know, I, for one, thank

591
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: you for that.

592
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: Because these first responders, I can't imagine the kind of trauma,

593
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: emotional trauma that they must be going through, you know,

594
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: dealing with you know, recovering. They're recovering now, and it's just.

595
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 4: So sad when you have natural disasters like this.

596
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 5: I think it actually shows and represents the very best

597
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 5: of Americans always. Americans throughout the country are mobilizing. You

598
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 5: have teams that are already heading down to Texas to

599
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: help out, people that are doing things in their churches,

600
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 5: getting goods, donating money. And it shows that as divided

601
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 5: as we are, it's not about politics.

602
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: It's about helping.

603
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 4: People in need.

604
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 5: Americans that taste a terrible tragedy come together and help

605
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 5: those people out.

606
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: There's no place for politics.

607
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 5: In this no, and that's why the American people, the

608
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 5: ones I looked, not the politicians, but the American people,

609
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,479
Speaker 5: the ones I look to in any natural disaster because

610
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 5: they're willing to help each other.

611
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: Route yep.

612
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Jenny, what are you guys seeing and what

613
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: are you able to do? I know you personally are

614
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: housing a lot of these folks, and what are the

615
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: day in and day out looking like right now?

616
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 7: So right now we are cooking breakfast and dinner for

617
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 7: at least one hundred people wo that are first responders

618
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 7: and rescue workers. Like I said, we can house over

619
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 7: one hundred and forty of them. We have two different

620
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 7: national rescue organizations that were housing their people. Those are

621
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 7: called heel Corp and also Disaster Relief USA. So we've

622
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 7: got people coming from all over the country down here.

623
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 6: I got a call today from a.

624
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 7: Man from Mississippi that didn't even know where to go.

625
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 7: He just loaded up his excavator on a trailer and

626
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 7: he's driving here from the city.

627
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 6: It is so much worse than anything that you were seeing,

628
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 6: so much worse.

629
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 7: What happened basically was there was but flood right for

630
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 7: five minutes in the middle of the night, and there's

631
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 7: no way to evacuate for that.

632
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 6: And so what our rescue teams right now is.

633
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 7: That they're finding rbs that are completely buried upside down

634
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 7: and the ground and they're having to dig those out,

635
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 7: and they're finding bodies in there.

636
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 6: My husband has gone on rescuing. It's been the last

637
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 6: three days.

638
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 7: And when I hear from all of the all of

639
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 7: the local volunteers that are going out to help people,

640
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 7: is you can spell it, yeah, yeah, And sometimes that's

641
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 7: a cow, sometimes that's some other kind of animal, but

642
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 7: a lot of times that's a body.

643
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 6: And it's going to take a really long time to rebuild.

644
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 6: You know.

645
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 7: There's a lot of small businesses that were up and

646
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 7: down the Guadalupe River for hundreds of miles that got

647
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 7: completely decimated.

648
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: And formally too correct.

649
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 6: Yes, oh yes, absolutely.

650
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 2: You have cattle.

651
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: You have and the I don't know what they call

652
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 3: it down there, like the game warden.

653
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: Is that what it is?

654
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 7: Yes, We've got every single federal agency and I can

655
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 7: tell you as Texans if there is anything we do

656
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 7: not like it as the federal government. And so most

657
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 7: of the federal government is currently in Kerrville, and so

658
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 7: all of our rescue teams are going to the small

659
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 7: towns come Hurt Hunt where all of the kids camps were.

660
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 7: We're still missing twenty seven children and it may be

661
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 7: weeks and months before we find.

662
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 6: All of those bodies.

663
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: It's just heartbreaking.

664
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: I know, I can't even imagine heartbreaking. You're talking about

665
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 1: the camp Mystic.

666
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am.

667
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. How far was your is your house away

668
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: from that camp? Jenny?

669
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 7: So we're kind of in a triangle, so we're about

670
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 7: thirty miles from all of it.

671
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: Okay, So sorry, you didn't have any impact right where

672
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: you are.

673
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 7: No, man, we got about eight inches of rain in

674
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 7: a couple of days.

675
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 6: But we're fine up here. So that's why.

676
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 7: We're able to house people and store the equipment and

677
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 7: the supplies and all of that kind of stuff.

678
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 2: Has this river ever flooded like this in the area before?

679
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 6: It has that?

680
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 7: They're calling it a five hundred year flood.

681
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the first.

682
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 3: Epical storm had come in off the Gulf, and I

683
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: guess it just stalled, right, That's from what I think.

684
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: What I'm understanding is that it had stalled and the

685
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 3: just the rain just kept coming and coming.

686
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: That's the first I've heard a five hundred year flood.

687
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: I've heard one hundred year flood many many times, and

688
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: they seem to be happening more frequently. But we're just

689
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: so sorry for what you guys are having to witness

690
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: and go through down there. It's not easy for anyone

691
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: that's watching it. It's hard for us just watching it

692
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: from far away, but I can't imagine being right there,

693
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: up close and personal and seeing it and hear in

694
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: the stories every day. But we do have some images

695
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: of some of these poor children. If we can pull

696
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: up the cut two, three, four and five from Camp

697
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: Mystic of these precious babies that have been missing. I mean,

698
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: there aren't any words for this stuff, but just pray

699
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: for them, pray for their families. If there's something that

700
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: you feel inspired to do, do it, Jenny, Is there

701
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: a tangible help that people that are far away can

702
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: do that people who can't just pick up and go there, Yes.

703
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 7: Ma'am, of course, the most important thing is to pray,

704
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 7: to pray for responders or research or search and rescue teams,

705
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 7: all of the volunteers out here. Texas takes care of

706
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 7: its own and we are in the best state in

707
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 7: order to go through a natural disaster.

708
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 6: Because Texas shows up. But these people are saying or

709
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 6: that we can't even imagine.

710
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 7: And things that a lot of regular people like me

711
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 7: and you have never seen before. The easiest way I

712
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 7: would suppose in order to donate.

713
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 6: There's lots of places to donate to.

714
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 7: There's lots of community organizations in Currville, but I'm more

715
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 7: interested in the smaller churches and the smaller organizations and

716
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 7: some of these tiny communities that aren't getting a lot

717
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 7: of national attention because Kerville is getting the majority of that.

718
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 7: And so my ministry J six road home dot com

719
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 7: people can donate there.

720
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 6: All of that money is going to help us, cause

721
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 6: we will be housing.

722
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 7: Once we're done with the immediate need of the rescue teams,

723
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 7: then we will be long term housing people that were displaced,

724
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 7: people that lost everything, families, children, and people at rvys

725
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 7: down the river.

726
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 6: But got out.

727
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 7: And so that's all our ministry is. Anyway, it's been

728
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 7: focused more towards J sixers, but when it comes down

729
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 7: to it, we're just the road Home Ministry and so

730
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 7: if people want to get involved in that. We currently

731
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 7: have a need for two hundred to three hundred gallons

732
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 7: of diesel per day for the major equipment, for the equipment,

733
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 7: the excavators, the bulldozers, all of that kind of stuff,

734
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 7: And so we're trying to get the money together for

735
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,720
Speaker 7: that so that we can be sure that these rescue

736
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 7: teams don't run dry on anything.

737
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: Jenny, I'm hoping that, like, can we keep in touch

738
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: with you periodically so that.

739
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 3: We can kind of get updates on what's going on

740
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: where you're at, you know, the needs that the ministry

741
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 3: has right now for the rescue workers. You know, I

742
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: think it's important that we keep a pulse on this, yeah,

743
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 3: you know, and then as the need arises down the road,

744
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 3: you know, if people wish to donate. You know, we

745
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 3: were involved with the North Carolina collection of goods to

746
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: send down there. There were trucks that were going you know,

747
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 3: every couple of weeks. We're collecting, you know, donations from

748
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 3: the local community here in Long Island.

749
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that we could do this again.

750
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking sending people might have old old RVs

751
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: or campers, who the heck knows, we could stock those

752
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 1: things up and send them down if there would be

753
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: if there's property to be had to store these things

754
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: and give them to people, because there's a lot of

755
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: people that have stuff they don't need, and what a

756
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: great place to send them send it right now, right. Yeah.

757
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: So many people doing doing so many heroic things, incredible things.

758
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: The Coastguard Scott Ruskin, I mean, he's saved one hundred

759
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: and sixty five lives that swimmer.

760
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: Like twenty six years old his first mission.

761
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. But we cannot thank you enough. You're doing God's

762
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: work for sure, and for those of us who can't

763
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: physically be there, thank you from the bottom of our

764
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,440

Speaker 1: be back soon. Welcome back to the Patriots podcast. That

770
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: was heavy, heavy, hard to hear, but good to hear

771
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: that Texans are coming together like Texans do and Americans do.

772
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: And I always say, like after nine to eleven being

773
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: in New York and when these tragedies strike, it is

774
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: the very best of us. And I always hope and

775
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: long for the country to remember and hold ourselves in

776
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: that space because it really is just us, the people.

777
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: We the people. That's it's just caring for each other.

778
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 4: Yep.

779
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:25,920

789
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: fabric of America is still very good. Yeah, it's the people,

790
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: it is. But the parties have gone awry. The political

791
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: well I keep saying this, but the Mordecai Mission, they say, like,

792
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 1: it's not politics, it's government. Get rid of the politics

793
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 1: and let's get back to governing and government and our founding. Right.

794
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 2: It's a good point, which is supposed to be limited, oh.

795
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 5: Very limited in my opinion, But when we look at it,

796
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 5: you know, again, they'll constantly push this idea of division

797
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 5: that's the political party apparatus to a certain degree. Listen,

798
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 5: when it comes to politics in a free society, there's

799
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 5: always going to be division because we get to speak

800
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 5: freelyah differences of opinions.

801
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: That's a good thing.

802
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 4: But the reality is Americans are not each other's throats.

803
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 5: We're not seeing fights between Democrats and Republicans and grocery

804
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,240
Speaker 5: stores and shopping malls or anything like that. We attend

805
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 5: the same schools, movie theaters and churches just well together.

806
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: We're married together exactly.

807
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 4: We're not as divided as they like to make us

808
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: out to be.

809
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 5: But our founding Faulthers did warn about political parties through factions,

810
00:37:58,000 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 5: and that was in Federalist.

811
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 4: Ten where we see that.

812
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,879
Speaker 5: The founders didn't like political parties, but they also recognize

813
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,800
Speaker 5: there's nothing that they can do to really prevent them.

814
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 4: And so Madison.

815
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 5: Argued that you have to mitigate the effects of the

816
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 5: political parties, and that's much more challenging. It's why we

817
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 5: have a two party system though, and a lot of

818
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 5: people don't realize. When you look at the multi party system,

819
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 5: it is actually very chaotic.

820
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 4: It's a lot more chaotic than ours is. The two

821
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 4: party system.

822
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 5: Here, they're big ten parties, So no two Democrats will

823
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 5: agree with each other.

824
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 4: I mean a Democrat.

825
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 5: From a place like Texas will be more in line

826
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 5: with a Republican from New York, yeah, than a Democrat

827
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 5: from New York. And so it's the division within those

828
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 5: political parties that actually make this system work. What's interesting

829
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 5: is the Democrat Party that's not really open right now

830
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 5: to any differing opinions.

831
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 4: Just look at how they're treating Senator John Fetterman.

832
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: Well, that's why they're losing people too.

833
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 5: Absolutely, But I never thought Senator A. Fatder Man would

834
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 5: be a voice of reason that a Democrat party. But

835
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 5: if they listen to them, they'll survive and they'll be

836
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 5: in good shape. However, get out exile him from the

837
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 5: party because he's daring to challenge, to fall up a

838
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 5: narrative instead of coming out of it. And ultimately you

839
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 5: do want two vibrant political parties in the United States.

840
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 4: Ultimately the Democrats will figure it out. They will be

841
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 4: in fighting.

842
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 5: That's going to occur, and you just hope that the

843
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 5: more centrist moderate Democrats are the ones, the voices of

844
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 5: reason that take back control as opposed to what we're seeing.

845
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't.

846
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 3: I mean, the farther they go, it's just it's like

847
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 3: they're in crazy land.

848
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 1: You think they can't get any further.

849
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 4: Stories.

850
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, you know, well for the Soviet

851
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 5: and yet that's some of the proposals I see now.

852
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 1: I know it's craziness, but I have to be honest.

853
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: I always have and I'm not a political analyst or scientists.

854
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: I am very uneducated really when it comes to it.

855
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm just a nurse with a lot of opinions and good,

856
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: good foundations, I think. But I like the idea of

857
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: a third party. I like the idea of another party.

858
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's because I have watched my entire

859
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: adult life both sides whether whatever they say, what they're doing,

860
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: they're all being funded by the same dirty people all

861
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: at and then they I don't feel that they've had

862
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: America's best interest at heart. You and me and the

863
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: everyday person. They're all fighting it out amongst themselves with

864
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: a different political face, different social acceptances, different you know,

865
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: line drives to get a populace behind them.

866
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: It's almost like it's theater.

867
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: It feels very much like that.

868
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 4: All of politics theater. That's what it comes down to.

869
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 5: And when we look at the political parties, they haven't

870
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 5: really changed much throughout our history. It's always been the

871
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 5: party bosses and backroom deals that go on and people

872
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 5: get forgotten about, people get shifted. But the idea of

873
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 5: a third party emerging is very challenging. Third parties have

874
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 5: very difficult time. The biggest challenge they have is ballid

875
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 5: access getting on in all fifty states.

876
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 4: There's all different rules and procedures.

877
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 5: You need a lot of money to be able to

878
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 5: do it, and you have to get signatures on petitions.

879
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 4: In New York, you have to get a.

880
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 5: Certain number of votes for the political party to be viable.

881
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 5: And if you look throughout our history, the only time

882
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 5: you really have the emergence of a new political party

883
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 5: is when one of the other political parties are dying out.

884
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 5: So the anti Federalists were dying out, then the Democrat

885
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 5: Republicans rose up against the Federalist. When the Federalist died out,

886
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 5: you saw the Whig.

887
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 4: Party rise up. That's all avoid the Whig Party collapse.

888
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 5: That's when the Republican Party emerged on the Abraham Lincoln

889
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 5: And so really the only realistic way a third party

890
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 5: truly emerges that's going to change the dynamic is if

891
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 5: one of the other political parties is collapsing. Because a

892
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 5: lot of people say they're independent, And if you look

893
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 5: at the Independent Party, it's not really a party.

894
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: There's nothing that links its members together.

895
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 5: There's no similar ideological core beliefs that they.

896
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 4: All adhere to.

897
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 5: You could be independent, but you could be to the

898
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 5: left of a political spectrum or way to a writer

899
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 5: a political spectrum. So a vibrant party has to have

900
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 5: a foundation that its members joined.

901
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 1: So my party ideally would be the constitutionalists. That's it

902
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: the end. I feel like that's all we needed, and

903
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: these parties just go off and bastardize everything for their

904
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,479
Speaker 1: own self gain. That's what it feels like to me. Yeah,

905
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: so I'm all in for what do you think about it? Now?

906
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 4: What it feels like, it's what's happening. So it's not

907
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: what it feels like.

908
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean, thank you for validating me.

909
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 4: Look at it.

910
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 5: So I'm conservative, but I'll criticize conservatives. Our criticize Republicans

911
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 5: because they've deviated. They constantly go out there and they

912
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 5: preach fiscal responsibility, they constantly preach about the principles of

913
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 5: limited government.

914
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 4: But when they're in power, what do we see.

915
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not voting that way.

916
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 5: That increase We see government expand I mean, the largest

917
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 5: government expansion in our history.

918
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,359
Speaker 4: Happened under a Republican under George W. Bush Well.

919
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: And the Conservative Party is a swing party. They go

920
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: you ever see your ballot and it's like there's a

921
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: there's a how is there a Democrat on a being

922
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 1: put forward from the Conservative line? Because they just sell

923
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: out to whoever's given them and their friends the best deal, the.

924
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 4: Truth or anyway conservatism.

925
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 5: They don't speak about the policies and the issues and

926
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 5: what they really stand for. And so that's why now

927
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 5: you do have Elon Musk talking about a new political party.

928
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 4: I believe he wants to call it the America's Party.

929
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily see it being successful now.

930
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 4: The difference is he has.

931
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 5: The money, the power, and the influence, and he is

932
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 5: someone that really knows how to do things.

933
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you know his history. He's a very brilliant man.

934
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 4: But at the same time, well, what is this party

935
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 4: going to be deeply rooted in? You know?

936
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 7: AI.

937
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 4: Part of the little.

938
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 5: Spat between President Trump and Elon Musk is that Elon

939
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 5: Musk is getting his subsidies cut under.

940
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 4: The big beautiful bell.

941
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 5: Elon Musk says he started the America's party, and one

942
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 5: of the biggest aspects is going to be physical responsibility

943
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 5: and the constitution. Well, if we're going to go by

944
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 5: a constitution and physical responsibility, then we shouldn't be giving

945
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 5: any He can't be funding.

946
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: You guys, right right, So is he gonna interesting? You know,

947
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: I was never a big fan of Elon Musk. I

948
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: watched this obscure I couldn't even tell you what it was.

949
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: It was this obscure podcast interview that he was on,

950
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: and I don't even know how long ago it was,

951
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,800
Speaker 1: but it was a little older, and I actually started

952
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: to like him more and maybe open my mind to

953
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: him and his mentality and his true self or his intentions,

954
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: because he really said, like, hey, I'm not going to

955
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: be here forever. I want to know that I've left

956
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: an impact and left the world a better place, you

957
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: know that, And it felt it really rang sincere for me.

958
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,160
Speaker 1: When I listened to the whole thing and just watched

959
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: him organically, it was the most human I ever observed

960
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 1: him to be, really the most relatable, And so from

961
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: that perspective, I'd like to think knowing that you've got

962
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of kids running around knowing that you're

963
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: not going to be here forever, knowing that you can't

964
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: take your money with you. You know, what is your intention?

965
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: And would you would you spite your would you spite

966
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: your what does this say, cut your nose to spite

967
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: your face? Would you do the right thing even if

968
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: it hurt your company? I don't know.

969
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:48,759
Speaker 2: I just will have to wait and see.

970
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 5: Well he's done some of the right things, right, I mean,

971
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 5: look at how his companies have suffered when he went

972
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 5: into the whole Doge Department of Government efficiency.

973
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 4: And so I don't question his motives.

974
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 5: I think that he is sometimes a little impulsive, and

975
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 5: I just believe that he'd be better serve pushing maybe

976
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,760
Speaker 5: Article five conventionist States and getting try and push term limits.

977
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,479

978

Speaker 1: conversation about that because we definitely don't have time. And

00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, we come before you with grateful hearts. Despite

1013
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: the difficulties and trials we face individually and collectively, we

1014
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: know that you purpose all things for the good of

1015
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 1: those who love you and for your kingdom. We ask

1016
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: for your peace and comfort to surround all those who

1017
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,959
Speaker 1: have lost loved ones, homes, and community during the raging

1018
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 1: flood in Texas. It's hard to comprehend the magnitude of

1019
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: their loss, but you, Father, you count every tear provide

1020
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: for them. While so many unite around those in need,

1021
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 1: we continue to also see growing division in our country.

1022
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: We sense a rise in confusion, even among patriots, over

1023
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: what seems to be lacking transparency, truth, and justice. Lord,

1024
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: help us to trust you above all else, and help

1025
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 1: us to remember to love righteousness and seek it. To

1026
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: walk humbly with our God. In your heavenly name, We pray.

1027
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 2: Amen.

1028
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,080

Speaker 1: Sorry random minute over, but we can never leave without praying.
