1
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: Talk about the spending bill, what happened in court today,

2
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: a little bit of foreign policy stuff, declining birth rates,

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: all that in world coming up, and I'm right, all

4
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: right before we get to the spending disaster and all

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: the other stuff that took place today in the trial

6
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: with the Trump stuff, and we're gonna we have so much.

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to tonight.

8
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: But we have to do something somber, something we always

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: do on the show. You're used to it by now.

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: We've always done it, we always will do it. We

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: honor the fallen, especially the fallen who die in training

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: or non combat.

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: We try to always honor the fallen.

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: That's somebody's life, you know, somebody's son. We lost another one,

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Naval Officer, Aviation Machinists Mate, second Class ARIALA, Michael al

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: reg Bassola. What happened, Well, he's part of the swamp Foxes.

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Just no, it's it's a helicopter squadron. It's a naval

18
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: helicopter squadron. That's who he was. That's what that's what

19
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: he did. It was not combat. It was in the

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: Red Sea. He went over the side and we you know,

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: I woke up today, My bed was warm, when I

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: finally crawled out of my bed, I got to take

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: my kids to school, went back, had a cup of

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: coffee with my wife, nice hot shower.

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: A little drive to work.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: It's a very pleasant, very safe day. There are people

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: out there while I was having my safe day, risking everything,

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: and it's dangerous being on a ship out in the

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: middle of the ocean. And we lost one and we

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: honored his sacrifice. Rest in peace, warrior, all right, Prayers

31
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: for his family, all right. Now, let's move on to

32
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: to the ugly stuff. That was That was the kind

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: of somber stuff. Let's move on to the ugly stuff,

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: all right. So Joe Biden signed that one point true

35
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: billion dollars spending package over the weekend. There are things

36
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 1: that we've kind of gotten used to. Things we shouldn't

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: get used to, but things we've we've gone through it

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: so many times that now we've gotten used to it,

39
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: and it's really bad. We shouldn't be used to it.

40
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be used to the fact that the government

41
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: prints these massive bills. No one can even ever give

42
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: you a straight answer who writes them. Then they'll drop

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: them on the desk of your congressman. Or senator with

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: like twelve hours before they have to vote. So these

45
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: one thousand plus page bills. This was another one over

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: a thousand pages. They drop it on the desk of

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: your congressman, on your senator. He can't possibly go through

48
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: it all, read it all, and that's of course the point.

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: And then he votes for it because they try to

50
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: force his hand to vote for it. And then the President,

51
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: who obviously has never read it. I'm not even sure

52
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: Joe Biden still can read. He doesn't know what's in

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: it either. He signs another massive spending bill, and on

54
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: and on and on we go. And this is just

55
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: we've just kind of come to accept that this is

56
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: how our evil, corrupt government runs. And it's not just Democrats,

57
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: that's the thing. One hundred and one House Republicans voted

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: yes on it. All the leadership wants Johnson Stephanick emerscalise.

59
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: Of course, all the losers in the Senate, you know them,

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: you know all their names, by now, all the GOP

61
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: losers in the Senate, the McConnell types, the Thuon types,

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: of John Cornyn types.

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Of course, they all they all voted for it.

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: And remember all these Republicans. It's one thing for the Democrats,

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: it's one thing for the Communists to vote on this.

66
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: The Communists want to destroy the country, and they don't, frankly,

67
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: really pretend otherwise anymore.

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: That's just kind of what they are.

69
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: It's the party of grievance, It's the party of malcontents.

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: America sucks, evil, misogynistic, burned the place down.

71
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: Republicans.

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: What ticks me off the most about them is they

73
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: pretend to care about this stuff.

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: They love to pretend to care.

75
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I want you to watch this little video, and as

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: you watch this, I want you to keep something right here,

77
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: right not on in the back of your mind, in

78
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: the front of your mind. As you watch this video.

79
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Every single person on this video just voted for one

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: point two train and spending and they don't even know

81
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: where it's going.

82
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 4: I think around here in the administration, Biden administration tries

83
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: to downplain this whole inflation issue like it's an on issue.

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 5: Wages aren't keeping up with inflation. As everything is costing more,

85
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 5: Americans are making less.

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: You know who pays the most from Joe Biden's inflation.

87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: It's lower and middle income families.

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 6: They are getting crushed by these higher prices.

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: We have to bring relief to the American people by

90
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: raining in federal spending and bringing down inflation.

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's our own party. And you know what they're

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: trying to sell us about this bill. This is the

93
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: best part of it.

94
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: They did slip a little thing in there and the

95
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: bill that you can't fly fly Pride flags or Black

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Lives Matter flags at foreign embassies an more. And I

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: gotta tell you that might be the most GOP thing

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: in the history of GOP things.

99
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: And this, let me lay it out for you.

100
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: So they're not cutting any spending, but what they are

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: doing is banning something that didn't even exist about five

102
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: years ago and telling you that's a win. There weren't

103
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: Pride flags flying at embassies before. That's just yet another

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: step they took. But we tell them to take barely

105
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: half a step back.

106
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: We'll fund every evil thing you do.

107
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Take a little mini half step back, which the Biden

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: White House is probably is going to overturn anyway, and

109
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: then well they'll turn around and tell us, look at

110
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: these cultural wins, guys, Congratulations, no more training flags. Sorry,

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't take the congratulations. And Mike Johnson Speaker of

112
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: the House already announced that as soon as they get

113
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: back from break, they're all on break right now. Praise God.

114
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: Let's hope they stay that way. They're all on break

115
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: right now. As soon as they get back. Foreign policy time,

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Baby Ukraine, got some cash for you.

117
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy, and.

118
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: I'm so frustrated. I'm so frustrated that nobody, no one

119
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: on our side, forget the Democrats, there are a lost cause.

120
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: No one in leadership on our side wants to step

121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: up and have the hard conversation. We've talked about this before,

122
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: but it's the best analogy I can.

123
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: Come up with on it.

124
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: As a nation, we've grown addicted to all this deficit spending,

125
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: and it's like there's this gigantic warehouse and we're throwing

126
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: the biggest party ever.

127
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: You want it, you can get it in there.

128
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: We gotta go cards, the pizza, and that's the gun

129
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: indoor gun range.

130
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: It's the greatest.

131
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: Party in the world. And we're just putting it all

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: a credit card. Everything we do in this warehouse, and

133
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: nobody wants to be the one. Nobody wants to step

134
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: in and say turn the music off, stop, start handing

135
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: out the brooms. Start handing out the paper towels. The

136
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: party is over. It is time to start clean up.

137
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: No one wants to do it. They all just want

138
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: to keep going and they're guaranteeing our demise. And so

139
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: it was in the news last week that Marjorie Taylor

140
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Green came out and she's calling for Mike Johnson's head.

141
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 7: Now, I filed the motion to vakate today, but it's

142
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 7: more of a warning and a pink slip. I respect

143
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 7: our conference. I've paid all my dues to my conference.

144
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 7: I'm a member in good standing, and I do not

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 7: wish to inflict pain on our conference and to throw

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 7: the House in chaos. But this is basically a warning

147
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 7: and it's time for us to go through through the process,

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 7: take our time and find a new Speaker of the

149
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 7: House that will stand with Republicans and our Republican majority

150
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 7: instead of standing with the Domino.

151
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: And people ask me what I think about that, Well,

152
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: we just got rid of a speaker.

153
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: Oh wait, now they're going to try and get rid

154
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: of the news speaker.

155
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: And I'm going to give you the worst answer in

156
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: the world. And I hate that I'm going to answer

157
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: like this, but I'm just being honest with.

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 5: You, I don't care. I don't care. Why would I care?

159
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 5: Keep him Towsome, get a new one.

160
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: It's very clear that the institution itself is rotted and

161
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: broken and corrupt, and it's very clear there aren't enough

162
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: people on our side within the walls of the institution

163
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: who want to change that. So keep him Tossome. What

164
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: difference does it make. All he's done since he's been

165
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: there is fully fund every evil thing they're doing.

166
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 2: I don't care anymore. Isn't that bad? That's bad. That's

167
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: where I'm at. All that may have made you uncomfortable,

168
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: but I am right.

169
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to a Red state ag about

170
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: some FBI steps he's taking. Every Red state age should

171
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: be paying attention to this next segment, what we all

172
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: can do to fight back against an evil secret state

173
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: police agency. Before we get to that, let's get to this. Look,

174
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: we just talked about the spending. They're not going to stop.

175
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: No one's gonna walk into that warehouse and turn off

176
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: the music and turn the lights on and stop. They're

177
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: very clearly just going to keep spending without end until.

178
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: It all comes crashing down on us. So all we

179
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: can do is get ready.

180
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Be ready, act as if these people are destroying the

181
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: economy because they are. Call Oxford Gold Group. That's how

182
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: you get ready. That's one of the basic ways everyone

183
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: needs to prepare. You need precious metals in your physical possession.

184
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to go nuts. You don't need gold bars,

185
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: you don't need a bank vault. You know, they don't

186
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: have to go crazy. Let Oxford mail some gold coins

187
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: or silver coins to your front door. Let them also

188
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: get it in your retirement account as well as a

189
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: portion of your retirement so you don't lose all that

190
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: when that bubble pops. Give them a call. There's a

191
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: reason everyone else is. Give them a call. Make some preparations, okay,

192
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: eight three three nine goal, Tell them I told you

193
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: to call.

194
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: We'll be back.

195
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: So we've also got to go upstream.

196
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 6: We've got to make sure that the automobiles are not

197
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 6: so easy to steal so that they're attempting attractive nuisance

198
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 6: for young people. And you know, right now we are

199
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 6: investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too

200
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 6: easy to steal for young people.

201
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: Maybe you're sitting there saying to yourself right now, who

202
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: is that wing nut on the television set. What do

203
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: they find some college sociology professor. But that's where you

204
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: would be wrong. That gentleman you just saw is an

205
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: attorney general. Is the attorney general for the state of Minnesota.

206
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: That is the state of the law profession in this country.

207
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Joining me now a good one, and Lord knows we

208
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: are short on those. The ag for the great state

209
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: of West Virginia, Patrick Morrissey soon to be governor, I

210
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: believe in the state of West Virginia. Okay, that's do

211
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: you sit back, ever and watch some of your colleagues

212
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: if we're even going to call on.

213
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: Them across the country and just cry.

214
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 1: For the state of the legal profession in this country.

215
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable.

216
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: I mean, the woke left has penetrated all forms of

217
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: our society and when I start hearing things like that.

218
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 3: It's deeply disturbing.

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: But that's why you have to have a number of

220
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: people stepping up in fighting back against these crazy woke policies. Man,

221
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 4: Let's think about this for a moment. You're saying that

222
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: there's a product and that that product goes through it's

223
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 4: meeting a lot of its standards, but it's not just

224
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 4: that there are allegations about some defect right or that

225
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,239
Speaker 4: they lie to the public. They're actually wanting to penalize

226
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 4: someone for the criminal behavior of another individual. So, you know,

227
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 4: people like to draw analogies all the time, but this

228
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 4: is really going further than I've ever seen anyone go before.

229
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 4: And look, we try to hold people accountable on the

230
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 4: basis of violation of the laws. But they'd say that

231
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: when you have someone who's committing a crime like this,

232
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: that then the manufacturer of the car should be helt responsible.

233
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 3: I think seems to be a bit absurd.

234
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Where does that leave us economically in this country? With

235
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: the business environment being so hostile in blue areas and

236
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: then you have states like West Virginia where it's getting better,

237
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: it's going to turn these blue states into wastelands. And

238
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of blue states, but I

239
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: don't want that either. Is it not just going to

240
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: drive all business into your waiting arms.

241
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: Well, look, I do hope that business this has come

242
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: to West Virginia, and I want people to know that

243
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 4: they're going to be treating fairly. They're going to be

244
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 4: treated in a manner consistent with the Constitution, and the

245
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 4: rule of law, and West Virginia is actually on the rise.

246
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: I think we have a lot of potential, but I

247
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: do think we have a challenge in this country and

248
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 4: we need leaders to step up and oppose these woke policies.

249
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 4: This DEI you know, I'm seeing it creeping in every

250
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: single day. You have folks on the other side who

251
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: literally want to wipe out the rule of law, and

252
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: they won't want to take away the netting to support

253
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 4: fabric if you will for our constitution and go after

254
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: our churches, our civic groups, our educational institutions, and they

255
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 4: want to guarantee outcomes for particular groups of people. That

256
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: is wrong, that is inconsistent with our constitution and our laws.

257
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 3: And we need people who are not afraid to say that.

258
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: And that's why I've been very active in the arena.

259
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 4: And I'm not going to get pushed around by any

260
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 4: of these folks that are looking for guaranteed outcome or

261
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 4: try to treat a particular group a little bit more

262
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: special than someone else.

263
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: You're moving on to be governor, But what role do

264
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: you see Red State ags having going forward? Everyone I

265
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: talked to and the legal profession tells me your job

266
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: is going to be the vanguard of protecting the free

267
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: people of this country.

268
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 4: Look, I think that attorneys general play a pivotal role

269
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 4: in terms of the separation of powers in our country

270
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: to make sure that the federal government doesn't run roughshod

271
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 4: over states. I think that's a critical position. But I

272
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: actually think as governor, a governor can help lead a

273
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 4: state forward to combine efforts so that an age can

274
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: focus and lead on the legal challenges facing a state.

275
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: That's very important.

276
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: A governor can help ensure work with an ag to

277
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: direct some of those legal efforts, but then also pull

278
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 4: together a state's efforts on ECONO and financial matters, policy,

279
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: public relations, political and then the right states can build

280
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 4: coalitions of twenty and twenty five states together, so you

281
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,479
Speaker 4: can have governors, treasurers, attorneys general, thirty five state agencies.

282
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: All of those combined could lead to the effort to

283
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 4: correct this imbalance that you're seeing where the federal government's

284
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 4: grown way too big and the woke cultures permeating Washington, DC.

285
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: I think the states of the place to be because

286
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: if those twenty five governors come together and we're able

287
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 4: to step up, that could be the fix that we

288
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 4: can't see Washington do on its own, and that's part

289
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: of the reason I decided to run for governor.

290
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: The federal government obviously has declared war on energy.

291
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: I don't have to tell anyone.

292
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: Who lives in West Virginia that they've known that for many, many,

293
00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: many years. Now we have an EPA ruling on TAO pipe.

294
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Can you talk more about this absurdity and what this

295
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: does to normal people on the ground.

296
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that it's a really scary prospect, and

297
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: Joe Biden has stepped it in again, and this is

298
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: actually going to be very problematic. I think that if

299
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 4: more Americans knew what was going on with the Biden

300
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 4: mandatory electric vehicle policy, they would move in droves away

301
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: from any support for his campaign. And here's basically what

302
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: they're trying to do. They're looking to do mandated eves

303
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 4: for about sixty eight percent of the people by twenty

304
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 4: thirty two. Now the recent announcement came back. There may

305
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: be some delays in terms of the timelines, but they're

306
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 4: committed and they're hell bent to moving in this direction.

307
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 4: And here's the problem with that. Imagine that you have

308
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 4: a product that some people may like but is not

309
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 4: ready to move from five or six percent of the

310
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 4: public to sixty eight percent in a short period of time.

311
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 4: There's no business model for the charging of these cars.

312
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 4: Let's start with that, which is kind of an important thing.

313
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't work very well in certain states. Imagine being

314
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 4: in West Virginia and the average car is supposed to

315
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: get up to two hundred miles on a charge. But

316
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: you're in a place like West Virginia that's hilly, or

317
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 4: another place any part of Appalachia or mountainous or hilly areas,

318
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: and it goes one hundred miles.

319
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: Think about how that won't work, then go further.

320
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: At the very time these guys are trying to move

321
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 4: everyone to evs, the bid demonstration is trying to eliminate

322
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 4: the use of coal, firepower plants, and natural gas.

323
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 3: None of that works.

324
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 4: When you try to dramatically increase demand, you can't then

325
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 4: go and cut off supply.

326
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: If you do that.

327
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: You start to see massive problems economically, and in West

328
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 4: Virginia that would represent a depression, not a recession, a depression.

329
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: These are just some of the very many problem with

330
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 4: the EV mandate, and it's why.

331
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 3: My office and others.

332
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 4: I've stepped up and I'm helped leading to push back

333
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 4: against this utter insanity. And I think if just Americans

334
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 4: knew a little bit more about this and the disaster

335
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 4: at the border and a couple other issues. I mean,

336
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 4: I think Trump's gonna win. I actually think he's gonna

337
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 4: win going away. But these policies are scary. It shows

338
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: that these guys have no idea what they're doing, and

339
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 4: they're actively trying to hurt American consumers.

340
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: Can you talk about the action you took with the FBI?

341
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: This is obviously, sadly something AG's are gonna have to

342
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: do more and more going forward, the FBI and their

343
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: DEI hiring policies.

344
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: What'd you do there?

345
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely so, just a few weeks ago, we sent a

346
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 4: letter to the FBI, which has a large facility in Clarksburg,

347
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 4: West Virginia, because we've been hearing more and more about

348
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 4: the FBI's effort to advance these so called DEI policy

349
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: diversity and equity and inclusion.

350
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 3: And we're worried about and here's why.

351
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 4: There was properly a Supreme Court decision last year that

352
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 4: made it very clear that these racial based quotas and

353
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 4: what Harvard and some other educational institutions were doing were

354
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 4: hugely problematic under the Equal Protection clause of our country.

355
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 4: It can't just create these quotas to make up even

356
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 4: if you think you're making up for past rungs, it's

357
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 4: not permissible at all. And having diversity for diversity's sake,

358
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 4: or racial quotas just to advance up perceived notions of

359
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: racial quality, that's not right and it's not permissible. Well,

360
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: we've been getting a lot of information related to the FBI,

361
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 4: and they're hiring practices, they're recruiting practices, and they look

362
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: to be highly problematic. So we sent a lengthy letter

363
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 4: to the FBI asking them questions about their DEI policies,

364
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 4: what they mean when they want to be a DEI agency,

365
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: what they mean when they're trying to what appears to

366
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: be meeting certain racial or genda quoters. It just seems

367
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 4: to be very, very problematic. So I'm getting the word

368
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 4: out across West Virginia and the country. If you see

369
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 4: any problematic activities on the part of the FBI in

370
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 4: their hiring practices, in their recruiting practices, let our office know.

371
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: We ask the FBI to answer a series of questions

372
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 4: about that, but we want individuals to come forward with

373
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 4: potential discrimination. Look, we want to live in a color

374
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: blind society. We do not want federal agencies to be

375
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 4: compounding problems we see with racial or agenda quoters. And

376
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 4: that's just not the way our country is supposed to work.

377
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 4: So if you find information that's problematic about with the FBI,

378
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: or quite frankly, what any federal agency is doing.

379
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: Call our office. Let us know.

380
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 4: So call three oh four, five five eight two zero

381
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 4: two one, go to WVHO dot gov and let us

382
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 4: know what you're seeing. Step up, be a whistleblower. We

383
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 4: want to fix these problems because this woke culture, these

384
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: DEI policies, they have no place in America, which has

385
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: an equal protection clause. Whether you're white, whether you're black,

386
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: whether you're a man, whether you're a woman, you should

387
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 4: be all treated the same under the eyes of the law,

388
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 4: and ags and governors are going to make that happen.

389
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.

390
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: If you see something, say something, call the line, mister

391
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: Attorney General.

392
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I appreciate it very much.

393
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: All Right, speaking of all of this trial stuff, there's

394
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: a big story today. They reduced to find on Trump

395
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: in New York. Why is there any fine at all?

396
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: You know? That's talk to Josh Hammer about that. We'll

397
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 2: get it.

398
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: We'll get to who's who and what's what on all

399
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: the latest legal news with Hammer.

400
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: Next.

401
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: Before we get to Hammer, let's get to this. Let's

402
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: get to your time share company. Your time share company

403
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: that won't let you out. Do you want out of

404
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: your timeshare? You ready to be done with it? Hopefully

405
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: you enjoyed it. Most people move on eventually, the kids leave,

406
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: You get sick of it. You don't want to pay

407
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: the annual fees. Anyone you call and you try to

408
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: get out, and they tell you no, no, sorry, you're

409
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: in for life. But you're not in for life. You're

410
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: in until you call lone Star Transfer. They will get

411
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: you out. They will legally and permanently get you out.

412
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: They are successful ninety nine percent of the time. Just

413
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: make a phone call. This is a family business. They'll

414
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: care for you.

415
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: Eight four four three one zero two six four six.

416
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back.

417
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 3: This is a case that could have been brought up.

418
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: Three and a half years ago, and now they're fighting

419
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: over a gage because they will to try and do

420
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: it during the election.

421
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 3: This is election interference, it's all. It is election interference,

422
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: and it's a disgrace. Will obviously be appealing.

423
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: Well.

424
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 3: The other decision, it will be my honor to post,

425
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: and we'll post whatever's necessary, whether it be cash or

426
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 3: security at the bonds be there's a decision.

427
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 8: We appreciate and respect the developed division very much.

428
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: And we will, I think, do very well in that

429
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: whole thing.

430
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 9: We have a judge who I believe is a crooked

431
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 9: judge and a crooked Attorney general, absolutely crooked.

432
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: Cash is your way, will be partner.

433
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I can't tell if we should be happy

434
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: or sad about today. I don't necessarily understand why everyone's celebrating.

435
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Trump had this huge, unjust fine that should be zero.

436
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: Some judge reduced at a bunch. It's still unjust, and

437
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: everyone acts like this is some kind of win whatever.

438
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: Maybe Josh thinks so, I don't know. He'll educate us.

439
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: Joining me now, Host of America on trial, Josh Hammer. Okay, Josh,

440
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: two different rulings out of New York today, one with

441
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: this whole fine thing, the other one the album Bragg

442
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: tell us what happened.

443
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I guess I'll take it one by one, Jesse.

444
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 10: So the fraud case was the bigger story to me.

445
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 10: I mean, going into today, no one knew what was

446
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 10: going to happen. There were a lot of different possibilities.

447
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 10: I talked about it on America on Trial this morning.

448
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 10: What possibly could have happened? It was possible, Jesse. I mean,

449
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 10: the real black pill event was that starting at twelveh

450
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 10: one a m. Tomorrow but technically really in a few

451
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 10: hours tonight, it was possible that T James was going

452
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 10: to start seizing assets. That that was an entire, entirely

453
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 10: possible outcome as to how the next twenty four to

454
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 10: thirty six hours could possibly play out. So the fact

455
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 10: that that is not going to happen, that this bond

456
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 10: payment was finally reduced, and reduced pretty considerably. I mean,

457
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 10: one hundred seventy five million dollars, Jesse, is still one

458
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 10: hundred and seventy five million dollar. That's still a lot

459
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 10: of money, but that's a more than fifty percent reduction

460
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 10: from four and fifty four. And more importantly, we're not

461
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 10: going to have any kind of bank account freezing, any

462
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 10: kind of asset season for at least ten days. We'll

463
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 10: see whether Trump can produce that cash on hand. The

464
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 10: guy's worth a lot of money. He might be able

465
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 10: to just pony up that kind of cash on hand

466
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 10: without even getting an insurance company or a financial institution

467
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 10: to loan him that kind of money. It's entirely possible

468
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 10: to say nothing, of course, of the Truth Social value.

469
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 10: He's got three billion dollars worth of equity in Truth

470
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 10: Social and they're going to take that thing public. He's

471
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 10: got a lock up agreement. We'll see whether the board

472
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 10: or the shareholders let him out of that. But I

473
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 10: think overall, today is a good day for Donald Trump

474
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 10: when it comes to the fraud trial. It's a less

475
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 10: good day when it comes to the criminal case. When

476
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 10: it comes to this Alvin Bragg case. He was hoping

477
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 10: to delay this thing even further. They had just delayed

478
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 10: it maybe a week and a half. Two weeks ago.

479
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 10: This thing was set to start today. So today, March

480
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 10: twenty fifth, was going to be the day initially where

481
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 10: this case is going to begin. That's when jury selection

482
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 10: of Va Dyer was going to begin today. They just

483
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,400
Speaker 10: pushed it back till April fifteenth, fifty weeks ago, there's

484
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 10: this large document dump came into Alvin Bragg's office from

485
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 10: the Federal Prosecutor's office. See what happened here, Jesse, was

486
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 10: the Feds in the Southern Distion of New York. They

487
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 10: looked into this exact ad. They were thinking of prosecuting Trump.

488
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 10: They decided not to because it's insane. But Alvin Bragg

489
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 10: has no such compunctions. He's a Soros funded hack. So

490
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 10: he took the mantle and then the SD and why

491
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 10: the Feds dropped a bunch of documents. That's the only

492
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 10: reason that's got delayed till April fifteenth. Trump's lawyers tried

493
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 10: to delay it further. The judge one Merchant basically said no.

494
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 10: So it's not a great day for Trump in that case.

495
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 10: But overall, you're trying to like bounce these two things out.

496
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 10: I'd say overall, it's a better day than a worse

497
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 10: day for Trump.

498
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Josh, there's a lot of money going around here

499
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of money at stake. Can you explain

500
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: what this means for Republican fundraising in twenty twenty four.

501
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,719
Speaker 1: I understand there's gobs of money from at least one

502
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: of Trump's packs that's paying for this stuff, and I

503
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: realized it's all ridiculous and unjust. But that's a lot

504
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: of money that's not being spent on TV commercials.

505
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 10: Look, yeah, so I try to track campaign finance on

506
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 10: America on Trial as well, because I too think this

507
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 10: is directly relevant when Trump is getting fined this amount

508
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 10: of money. You know, some of his supporting super packs

509
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 10: Maga Inc. A lot of them are are subsized in

510
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 10: the legal fees, And every dollar that goes to a

511
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 10: Trump lawyer to try to keep this man out of

512
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 10: prison is necessarily a dollar that is not being spent

513
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 10: in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and so forth trying to

514
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 10: win this crucial presidential election for Donald Trump against Joe

515
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 10: Biden this November. So it's a very, very big deal.

516
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 10: And unfortunately the fact that it's such a big deal

517
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 10: is compounded by the fact that when you look at

518
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 10: current cash reserves on hand, the RNC is totally totally

519
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 10: paling in comparison right now to the DNC, and the

520
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 10: Trump campaign is paling in comparison to the Biden campaign.

521
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 10: So you know, look, jefferyass is this mega billionaire in Pennsylvania.

522
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 10: He's apparently getting cozy with Trump. His jefferyass Is equity

523
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 10: stake in TikTok is supposedly the rumor behind Trump's flip

524
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 10: on the TikTok issue. So I don't approve of the flip,

525
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 10: to be clear, I'm very anti TikTok, but that is

526
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 10: potentially good news as far as just a major cash jump.

527
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 10: I saw just this morning apparently Donald Trump got dinner

528
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 10: at mar A Lago Friday evening with Mary Addelson, the

529
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 10: widow of Shelton Addilson. Potentially some good funding news there.

530
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 10: But at the end of the day, Jesse are side

531
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 10: the right needs help. I mean, Donald Trump's going to

532
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 10: if he's going to get across the finish line, this

533
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 10: year is going to be a slog and we need

534
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 10: the big donors to pony up. The only thing that

535
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 10: I will say, and this could be this could be

536
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 10: a bit of silver lining and some solace for Donald

537
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 10: Trump and his supporters this election cycle. The one bit

538
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 10: of solace is that if I'm looking at these two kids,

539
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 10: Jesse Joe Biden and Donald Trump, they both have one name.

540
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 10: I d one is the current president of the United States.

541
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 10: One's the former president of the United States. Usually, usually

542
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 10: when you put money into positive advertising, you're trying to

543
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 10: show the voter who you are. Neither of these guys

544
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 10: have to do that. The voters all know who they are.

545
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 10: So that does, I think, mitigate the need for dollars

546
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 10: at a certain level. And I think that is a

547
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 10: bit of a silver line to take away here. But yes,

548
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 10: Donald Trump's going to need some money.

549
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: Tell us about this Supreme Court abortion pill? What's going

550
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: on up there?

551
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 10: So big oral argument? Does the Supreme Court tomorrow? This

552
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,479
Speaker 10: is a It's a really interesting case for a few reasons.

553
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 10: It involves the main the most popular, most pervasive abortion

554
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 10: pill in America called fet pristone. It's a hard thing

555
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 10: to pronounce, to be honest with you, but mefet prestone was.

556
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 10: It was legalized by the FDA over a series of rulings,

557
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 10: most recently in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty one. And

558
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 10: basically what you had here was you had some one

559
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 10: some pro life doctors, but to some people who were

560
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 10: actually bodily injured, who were actually harmed by taking the

561
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 10: abortion pill. Because Jesse, this is the kind of thing

562
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 10: where they distribute they can mail it to you. The mailing,

563
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 10: by the way, happens to be in violation of an

564
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 10: old statue called the Comstock Act, which is an interestingly

565
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 10: guardment that we might hear tomorrow. But you have some

566
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 10: challenge the way that this drug was approved, in the

567
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 10: way that it was mainstream, and there was no outstanding

568
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 10: judge and Amarello Texas a guy that I've been personal

569
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 10: friends with for years. In the interest of full disclosure,

570
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 10: a god by the name of Matthew Kasmeric, an outstanding

571
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 10: rock ribbed conservative, who essentially said that the way that

572
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 10: the FDA approved this drug was arbitrary and capricious, in

573
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 10: violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which is the statute

574
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 10: that essentially governs how regulations are promulgated in our modern

575
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 10: administry of state. Then the Fifth Circuit of the Appellate

576
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 10: Court that I clerked on a number of years ago,

577
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 10: they had a mixed opinion, but it was more favorable

578
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 10: than not. The two judges the majority largely upheld Judge

579
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 10: Kasmeric's opinion. They partially overturned it. I'm proud to say

580
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 10: in a personal note that the judge that I clerked for,

581
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 10: Judge Jim Hoe years ago, was the only judge on

582
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 10: that panel to fully uphold Judge Kasmaric's puliminary in junction,

583
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 10: and he's such a rock rib stalwart, my former boss,

584
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 10: Judge Hoe. But that is the question that the Court

585
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 10: is going to be reviewing tomorrow. So it's an interesting

586
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 10: question one from a substantive perspective. The issue of abortion,

587
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 10: obviously is the you know, it's the unholy grail, not

588
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 10: the holy Girl, but the unholy grail of abortion. Supreme

589
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 10: Court jurisprudence. People love to talk about it. It's also

590
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 10: fascinating from a separation of power perspective here, this is

591
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 10: kind of an Article three federal judiciary versus a Ministry

592
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 10: of State battle. I tend to be more anti ministry

593
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 10: of State. So from that perspective, I prefer to slide

594
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 10: with the judges here, which means signing with Matthew Kasmer.

595
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: That's generally a good, a good route to go. Thank you, Josh.

596
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, my friend. All Right, birth rates uncomfortable

597
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: to talk about, but we've got to make babies.

598
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: Talk to Tim Carney about that next.

599
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: Before we talk to Tim, let's talk about your personal safety.

600
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: Let me ask you something statsk.

601
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: If you leave your house tonight, run down to the

602
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: grocery store and a bad man meets you in the

603
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: parking lot, are you one hundred percent positive you can

604
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: stop him from hurting you, from doing whatever he wants

605
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: to you and your daughter, your mom, your father.

606
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 2: We live in a world war. We're importing criminals now

607
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: by the million.

608
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: We have got to take our personal safety more seriously.

609
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120

Speaker 2: All right, we'll be back.

619
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: You know something uncomfortable that we talk about on the show,

620
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: but honestly probably not enough is birth rates.

621
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 2: And it gets so uncomfortable because it's personal for people.

622
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: Right, maybe you have kids, maybe you want more kids,

623
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: maybe you don't have any and one so maybe you

624
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: don't want any of those expensive little snots. But either way,

625
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: society has to make babies or society goes away. And

626
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: we're not making babies anymore, and it's a problem. Joining

627
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: me now, Tim Carney, he has a book out called

628
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: Family Unfriendly. Tim, explain why you would write a.

629
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: Book titled that.

630
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 11: Well, we have falling birth rates.

631
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 9: As you mentioned, there's actually fewer children in America today

632
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 9: than there was ten years ago. The number of babies

633
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 9: born has gone down basically every year for fifteen years.

634
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 9: On top of that, we have record high anxiety among children,

635
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 9: and so some people think it has it's all about economics.

636
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 9: That explanation doesn't really hold up. Some people think everybody's

637
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 9: more selfish. Now I think everybody's exactly as selfish as

638
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,959
Speaker 9: they've been forever. So I'm arguing that our culture is

639
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 9: family unfriendly in all sorts of ways. Parenting culture, mating,

640
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 9: dating culture, cultural values are deterring people from wanting kids

641
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 9: and making it so that people who do want kids

642
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 9: don't have them or have fewer of them.

643
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: Let's focus on the first group for a moment. We'll

644
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: get to the second one. Why don't people want kids?

645
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: Stam I mean, I believe me. I understand they are

646
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: expensive and they are messy, but being a dad's like

647
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: the best thing I've ever done, and it's the greatest thing.

648
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: In the world. And so when my friends or people

649
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 2: I know say.

650
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: I'd hate to have them, I'm flabbergasted by that.

651
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 11: Where do people get that from?

652
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 9: I'm with you if nothing is better than destroying your

653
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 9: nine year old in one on one basketball, and there's

654
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 9: no other way you can do that besides being a dad.

655
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 9: So the millennials in gen Z a very sad fact

656
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 9: is they have swallowed since they were little kids, this

657
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 9: idea that humans are actually bad for the planet. So

658
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 9: one of the stories I have in Family and Friendlies

659
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 9: of a school principle writing an op out of The

660
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 9: New York Times saying, we have to tell little kids

661
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 9: that human children are the problem with the world. Nowadays,

662
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 9: a lot of millennials say the reason that they don't

663
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 9: want kids is because of climate change. Either they're going

664
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 9: to have children in a world that's on fire, or

665
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 9: they see children as.

666
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 11: The pause of the problem.

667
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 9: You throw on to that the other guilt that America

668
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 9: is a you know, incurably racist country. So if you

669
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 9: have a white baby, you're having a racist. If you

670
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 9: have a black baby, he's going to be oppressed his

671
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 9: whole life. All of these things make people think that

672
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 9: humans were a mistake. I think that's the underappreciated reason

673
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 9: that millennials aren't having kids.

674
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 2: Is this a political thing?

675
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: I know it's not necessarily a political book, but the

676
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: things you just describe, that's a very left wing way

677
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: of thinking.

678
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: Human beings are burning up the planet and whatnot.

679
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: So are people on the right having enough babies?

680
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 2: And it's just the commies who aren't reproducing.

681
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 9: Everybody's birth rate is down, but it is liberals, mostly

682
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 9: young white liberals, who are more averse to having kids.

683
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 9: Something that's happening across the political spectrum, though, is people

684
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 9: who do say they would want kids, and poles still

685
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 9: say two point seven kids is the you know, that's

686
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 9: the average that the average American wants. But we're getting

687
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 9: about one point seven. So that aspect of it does

688
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 9: not really have much.

689
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 11: Of a political difference.

690
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 9: But it's certainly true that white liberals are more likely

691
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 9: to not want kids.

692
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 11: But that has a lot to do with religion.

693
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 9: Religious people in America, of all religions, are having more kids.

694
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 9: If you go to church on a Sunday, if you

695
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 9: celebrate any sort of sabbath, you are much more likely

696
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 9: to have a family, want a bigger family. And that's

697
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 9: another part that makes this discussion uncomfortable. Is it cuts

698
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 9: along these some of these cultural war lines.

699
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: Tim, let's talk about the how the other half lives

700
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: here that the people who maybe can't or why is

701
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: that you hear a lot more of that today than

702
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: you used to hear. And I'm not saying this is

703
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: a new phenomenon. I'm certainly not blaming anybody. It's a

704
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: heartbreaking thing when people want them and can't. But is

705
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: this a thing that's getting worse?

706
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 3: Well, the one.

707
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,800
Speaker 9: Part that I know is getting worse is that the

708
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 9: increased desired demand for higher education is pushing marriage too

709
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 9: much later.

710
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 11: And what they're not getting in this education.

711
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 9: Is education that says, well, no, it doesn't just drop

712
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 9: off at forty five. Your ability to have kids for

713
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 9: a woman starts declining in your thirties, and so you think, okay,

714
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 9: well I'll start a family in my mid thirties and

715
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 9: get my one or two or two point seven. So

716
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 9: that part is definitely true, that starting family. Later people

717
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 9: think that technology can give them the babies, and it's

718
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 9: a lot more complicated than they want. So there's lots

719
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 9: of other arguments about things. The science on that is

720
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 9: still out, but that one aspect that delay in marriage

721
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 9: is leading to more people just not being able to reproduce.

722
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: The fertility is what it is, whether it's uncomfortable for

723
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: people or not, till one thing that I found fascinating

724
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: and I would have guessed otherwise. In this day and age,

725
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: we like to think about modern America as being pretty

726
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: much sodom and gomora, but kids today are actually not

727
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: as it's a family show that is physically active as

728
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 1: past generations. Lots of times, well lots of times they

729
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: talk about how they don't not only do they not

730
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: meet girls, they don't even want to meet girls. You know,

731
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: young men will talk about this today. It's such an

732
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: online world. Is that a problem? I don't even understand

733
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: that way.

734
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 9: This is not what we would have anticipated, right that

735
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 9: the parents would sit around saying why aren't the kids

736
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 9: getting together and making out enough?

737
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 2: But they're not.

738
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 9: They're not dating enough, they're not they're not socializing enough.

739
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 9: So the iPhones, the social media apps, are clearly a problem.

740
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 9: When bartender in Michigan told me, all my friends think

741
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 9: they can get from a phone anything they could get

742
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 9: from a girlfriend. But then you just take the decreased

743
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 9: social skills that happens when you spend your life online,

744
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 9: and that plays into it. But the dating apps have

745
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 9: had a real interesting bad cultural effect where a lot

746
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 9: of people now think it's wrong to ask someone out

747
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 9: in person. They believe that well the dating apps they

748
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 9: provide the double secret consent, So if you ask somebody

749
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 9: out in person, you're abusing your connection to them, and

750
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 9: they haven't consented to being asked out, and that becomes

751
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 9: an unwanted advance. So all of these things have broken

752
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 9: our dating culture, and that obviously gets in the way

753
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 9: of having babies because there's only one way to have babies,

754
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,720
Speaker 9: and it involves being.

755
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,280
Speaker 11: Together personally with the other person.

756
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 2: You're right about the travel team trap. What are you

757
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: talking about?

758
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 11: So when I was a kid, I played little league.

759
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 9: I rode my bike to the field and my parents

760
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 9: most of the time didn't show up, and the dads

761
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 9: were all local, the coaches were all dads. Nowadays, youth

762
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 9: sports is much more intensive and expensive, and a lot

763
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 9: of parents. I call it a trap because they don't

764
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 9: realize what they're getting into, or they don't think they

765
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 9: have a choice, and so they end up their family

766
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 9: culture gets totally destroyed. Their schedule gets dominated by when

767
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 9: the coach holds practice the kids they have to specialize.

768
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 9: They're told at age twelve, you got to be playing

769
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 9: this game ten months out of the year. Probably quit soccer,

770
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 9: forget about summer vacation. You should be on the travel team.

771
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 9: And it makes sports into a job. And so I

772
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 9: talk about sports, but it happens too, you know, Irish

773
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 9: dancing or music, all of these things where they build.

774
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 11: Virtues for kids.

775
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 9: They learn they're active, they learn how to they learn

776
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 9: how to lose, they learn how to be members of

777
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 9: a team. Nowadays it's you're just going to learn how

778
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 9: to play shortstop and how to hit a slider, and

779
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 9: they forget that these are games and they turn them

780
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 9: into jobs.

781
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: You have six kids, would you recommend against it or

782
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 1: for it?

783
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I'd recommend for it.

784
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 9: It becomes easier with each one, not when they're newborn,

785
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 9: because when they're newborn, you're older with each one and

786
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 9: you're losing sleep.

787
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 11: So that part's really tough. But after this starts sleeping

788
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 11: through the night, it gets easier.

789
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 9: They entertain one another and you don't feel tempted to

790
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 9: fall into the travel team trap because you know you

791
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 9: couldn't possibly go to six different tournaments on a given weekend.

792
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 9: The more kids you have, if you have them close

793
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 9: to each other, take care of one another, you learn

794
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 9: from your mistakes. You learn you don't need all that

795
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 9: expensive stuff like the wiper warmer that make sure when

796
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 9: you wipe their butt it's warm.

797
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 11: You don't need all of that.

798
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 9: The more kids you have, the more you realize what

799
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 9: matters is.

800
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 11: You know you're gonna spend a lot of time together.

801
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 9: It doesn't have to be doing anything exciting, and you

802
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 9: get to spend a lot of time ignoring them while

803
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 9: they run around with their symbols.

804
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 1: Good point, let me echo his. Have them close together.

805
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: Our two boys close together. It's wonderful. Boys go away,

806
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: go outside. It's fantastic. Tim, Thank you so much. The

807
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: book is family unfriendly. Highly recommend you go get it.

808
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: It is an important thing we need to talk about.

00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,440

821
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,160

822
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 1: they fell down, and you know what, that's wrong.

823
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: That's wrong.

824
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,680
