So please 16 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: like and subscribe and join me. I'm very, very excited 17 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,239 Speaker 1: about this. So I want to start with this podcast 18 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: by one giving my condolences to the people at Brown 19 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: University who were murdered in the shooting, in the school shooting, 20 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: and to the Jewish community in Australia and speak specifically 21 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: about that issue. Because the Brown shooting, they still haven't 22 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: even caught a suspect. I don't even know if they 23 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: have as yet. But we know what happened in Australia. 24 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Two Islamus targeted. They went to a Hanukah event that 25 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: was on a beach, and they targeted Jews and they 26 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: shot into the crowd. They shot at the crowd, killing 27 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: loads of people. Scores of people. At least a dozen 28 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: are dead. It keeps climbing, so I don't want to 29 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: give you an accurate number of total assessment because it's 30 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: unfortunately likely to go into several dozens who will have 31 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: been murdered, including a ten year old girl who lost 32 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: her life. The gunmen used scopes in their guns, so 33 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: it's very likely that they saw this little girl running 34 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: and specifically targeted and shot her and murdered her. In 35 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: the midst of this violence, one man at the event, 36 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: an immigrant from Syria, worked to try to disarm one 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: of the two gunmen. He was shot twice and he 38 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: was extremely brave and extremely heroic, but because Australia has 39 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: such strict gun laws, he had no idea how to 40 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: work the gun he had confiscated from one of the gunmen, 41 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: So rather than shoot the terrorist, he let him get away, 42 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: and that's not his fault. I'm not blaming. I'm sure 43 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: the Russian adrenaline in the second Who knows what anyone 44 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: would have done, but the gunmen ended up going getting 45 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: by another firearm and going back to shoot into the 46 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: crowd at the beach. There are a lot of lessons 47 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: to take from this terrorist attack, as I think that 48 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: there are with most terrorist attacks. None of them are 49 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: being learned by people in the media who are focused 50 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: on this, people like Piers Morgan. They're honoring the immigrant 51 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: from Syria who did the right thing, who tried his best, 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: who showed bravery in the moment, but they're not willing 53 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: to learn any hard lessons. One first being on policing. 54 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: There were three police officers there when the shooting happened. 55 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: They were all female police officers. I've heard rumors, so 56 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: I canno confirm that they were not even armed at 57 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: the time, and according to live footage, to footage and 58 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: to witness testimony, police officers just stood by as the 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: gunmans were shooting. Now, I'm not saying that these women 60 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: were hired because of DEI policies, but it's clearly the 61 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: should not have been police officers. I come from a 62 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: cop family. I have a lot of police officers. You 63 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: know my family generationally, My dad and his brothers were 64 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: all cops. It's a tough job, and policing, unlike other 65 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: civil service jobs, you never really know what you're going 66 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: to face on a day to day moment. It could 67 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: be a gunman, it could be a you know, a 68 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: lost child. It could be a terrorism, it could be 69 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: a million things. It could just be a random mugger, 70 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: or it could be a mentally ill person. Being a 71 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: police officer a very, very difficult job, and most do 72 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: the job well, but it's incredibly stressful and it brings 73 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: them men scrutiny. And if you can't do the job, 74 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: whether it's because you're too trigger happy or in this case, 75 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: because you're too trigger shy, then you shouldn't be a 76 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: police officer. These women should not be police officers. And 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: police departments that mandate day they hire girls for the 78 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: sake of hiring girls are doing it a service to 79 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: every single person in their community, right. I mean, these 80 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: women clearly could not stop these gunmen even if they 81 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: tried to tackle them, even if they couldn't shoot them, 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: because they didn't have arms or I don't understand why 83 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: in parts of the world, like in the UK, they 84 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: don't have guns. Secondly, while the man who disarmed the 85 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: terrorists briefly was and he was immensely brave, he didn't 86 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: shoot the terrorists in part because his family said he 87 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: had never held a firearm before, he didn't know how 88 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: a firearm worked. Now there's no telling if he would 89 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: have been worked better if he had a gun, or 90 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: if he had had or you know, he would have 91 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: actually been trained if gun ownership was easier in Australia. 92 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: But Australia has disarmed their citizens for decades and this 93 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: still happens. Stricter gun laws did not prevent this act 94 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: of terrorism, and more gun laws, which is what Australia's 95 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: leadership is proposing, won't. And Lastly, and there's no getting 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: around this, the West has a problem with Islamic terrorism, 97 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: and because of mass immigration, we're importing more people who 98 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: were susceptible to become is Islamic terrorists. If elected leaders 99 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: of the West cared about their civilization, their liberal democracy, 100 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: their Jewish population, women in their society, gays and minorities 101 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: in their society, protecting Western philosophy, which maximalizes personal, personal 102 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: and economic liberty. You cannot continue to import millions of 103 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: people from the third world, especially those from cultures that 104 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: are heavily influenced by Islamic ideology. We have seen this 105 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: all over Europe for over a decade, and the elected 106 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: leaders of the West's answer to this threat is to 107 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: continue to import more people and hope that we don't 108 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: notice things like the mass assault of German girls in 109 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve twenty sixteen, the Backline Theatre mass murder 110 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: and torture in Paris, the tens of thousands, if not 111 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of British girls across the UK who 112 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: were groomed and gang raped by Pakistani men, and now 113 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: the murders of dozens of Jews on the beaches on Australia. 114 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this case is the only example of 115 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 1: anti Semitism. We know that it exists in these population. 116 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: We know that it's not exclusive to the Islamic population, right, 117 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: it's a broad thing, but it's very real among these people. 118 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: And when it came to the footage of who was 119 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: celebrating the Bondi Beach massacre, the ones I saw from 120 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: across the globe. The ones in the UK, they were 121 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: all waving Palestine flags. They were all wearing Palestinian Palestinian scarbs. 122 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: No one seemed to have a history in the UK 123 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: that were celebrating the Body Beach massacre going back to 124 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: the ten sixty six Norman invasion. They were all recent immigrants. 125 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: It is an existential emergency and has been this way 126 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: for decades, for at least two decades. I'll give people 127 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: the benefit of the doubt that maybe they missed this 128 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: in the nineties when the populations were much smaller. By 129 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: the twenty tens and two thousands, especially by the twenty tens, 130 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 1: it's very clear what is happening across the West. It 131 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: is an existential emergency and if only leaders of the 132 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: western of the West clampdown immigration, if they only did that, 133 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: they could probably end the entire national populist revolution that 134 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: is sweeping across the world. They just won't do it. 135 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: They can't do it. Mass immigration is so key to 136 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: their global experiment. It is like oxygen to creating water. 137 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: You can't have one without the other. They think that 138 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: it's noble and wonderful to change your society into something 139 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: that is unrecognizable, and that diversity at any cost is 140 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 1: worth it and ethical, and it is proper to sit 141 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: there and rub noses of diversity in front of people 142 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: that you know don't like it, but they don't live 143 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: among those people. Over the weekend, I was tweeting with 144 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: Crystal Ball. I was tweeted at Crystal Ball because she 145 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: she's a progressive commentator. She was on MSNBC. She's got 146 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: a big YouTube show called Breaking Points. I've been on 147 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: it many, many, many times, and I personally really like her. 148 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: She's not, you know, one on one. She's a very 149 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: lovely person. But she was tweeting how the best thing 150 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: about America is the cold mixing and feeling differently than 151 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: that is Unamerican. Well, guess what the demographics of Crystal 152 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: balls neighborhood in Virginia are. Take a wild guess about 153 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: how diverse this neighborhood that she lives in it. Or 154 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: Kentucky Representative Sarah Stalker, a Democrat who drawing a committee 155 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: hearing last week, that she felt guilty about being white 156 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: and said we need DEI in schools to make white 157 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: kids own their privilege. She backpedaled a little and said 158 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: it's not about making them feel bad about their race. 159 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: But we kind of know she loot the cout of 160 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: the bag. It is about feeling bad about your race. 161 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: It's not just about knowing their privilege and through history. 162 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: And she said how much pride she has that one 163 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: hundred and forty five languages were spoken in Jefferson County, 164 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: Kentucky public schools. Do you think that Jefferson County, Kentucky 165 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: public schools have the adequate budget, the adequate number of 166 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: teachers to teach in one hundred and forty five languages, 167 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: even with all the technology that's easily available for them, 168 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Stalker the representative. Well, of course, an area called Saint 169 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: Matthew's in Louisville, which is ninety percent Caucasian. She doesn't 170 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: live in a diverse area. And then, of course there 171 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: was Piers Morgan. Piers Morgan who I mentioned in the beginning. 172 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: You know, he was on at Tucker Carlson's podcast or 173 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: vice versa, one of the more on each other's podcasts. 174 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: Maybe Tucker was on his podcast and he said that 175 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: it was great that the UK will no longer be 176 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: the majority English by middle of the century because the 177 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: food is better now than it was thirty years ago, 178 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: and we should celebrate that diversity. And he said that 179 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: we should celebrate the hero in Australia. We shouldn't talk 180 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: about the fact that immigration brought terrorism to Australia. Just 181 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: talk about the good immigrant, not the bad ones. That 182 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: they are random, that it's randomly happening. So a few people, 183 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: such a few people massively raping British girls, it's just 184 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: a few people committing acts of terrorism or plotting acts 185 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: of terrorism. You know, it doesn't matter the fact that 186 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: there have been four Afghani nationals and five Palastinian nationals 187 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: in America in the last year who either successfully or 188 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: unsucessfully plotted terrorist attacks in this country. They're outliers, so 189 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: therefore ignored were the bigger problem of immigration from Islamic countries. 190 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: Guess the demographics appears Morgan's kids schools. Guess how lily 191 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: white the schools he sends his kids to are. It's 192 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: called Thomas London Day's School, and it's where Prince william 193 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: sends his kids. There couldn't possibly be a wider place 194 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: on this planet. No, all of these people that push 195 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: and love diversity, they want you to embrace diversity at 196 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: any cost, because it's not their daughters who will be 197 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: groomed or gang raped in Northern England or die on 198 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: a beach in Australia that massacre or assaulted throughout the 199 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: streets of Berlin. Now they will live in America or 200 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Australia or Germany of Britain in the nineteen fifties, in 201 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: their own little enclaves. They'll get to go to the 202 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: best diversity cuisines, because that's apparently all that matters, is 203 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: that there's diverse food. You know, we can't just import 204 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: a chef, We have to import an entire village. It's 205 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: the poor people. It's the working class who will never 206 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: live in that level of comfort, live with all the 207 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: chaos that comes with declining social capital because of mass population, 208 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: increases up immigration. All the people who spend their lives 209 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: and it's not their whole lives, but maybe the last 210 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: ten plus years hating Brexit, hating Trump, hating Farage, hating Lapent, 211 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: all of those people who have made their whole lives 212 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 1: focused around hating those people, hating the National populist revolution. 213 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 1: They're responsible. They caused it because rubbing everyone else's noses. 214 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: Diversity made people rebel against their whole experiments, all while 215 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: they choose to live as far away from it as 216 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: humanly possible. And say what you want about Israel, which 217 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: is pseudonangrada in a lot of circles, even on the right, 218 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: say what you want, But the fact is that they're nationalistic. 219 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: They know they sit there, and they know the time 220 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: of day. They value their national identity and they're willing 221 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: to do anything to preserve it. And there's a lot 222 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: to learn with that. That's all. And I truly am 223 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: feeling heartbroken for all the family who are going into 224 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: both Hanukah and Christmas burying somebody. It is senseless, It 225 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: is reckless, and I hope that somebody can possibly wake 226 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: up and do something. Next up, I have some polling 227 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: to show you really where how America feels going at 228 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: the end of twenty twenty five going into the new year. 229 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: On politics, on the economy, that's coming up next. NBC 230 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: News Decision just release a massive poll on Sunday discussing 231 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: American's feelings on Trump, the economy, which party had was 232 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: the best, on the cost of living, a lot of 233 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: different questions, and this poll was powered by survey Monkey. 234 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: That is an Internet poll. I normally don't bring up 235 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: Internet polls that are exclusively Internet because I don't really 236 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: trust them. But NBC is the one that sponsored this poll, 237 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: so they're covering it. So because NBC is covering it, 238 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: it's kind of making its way through the ether. You're 239 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: going to hear about it either in traditional media or 240 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: on social media. So it's worth covering and really breaking 241 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: down what this poll says. Now, this is different than 242 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: a lot of other polls that ask registered vote voters 243 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: or likely voters. This is asking all adults. Forty one 244 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: percent of respondents of the twenty two hundred and fifty 245 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: two respondents did not vote in the last election, right, 246 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: they did not vote. Twenty six percent are not even 247 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: registered to vote. So this is a broad section of 248 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: people who I don't want to call ill informed, that's 249 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: not correct. But they are low engagement. That's the way 250 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: to say. They're low engagement on facts, on news, on information. 251 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: So first question of they sit there and they say 252 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: what are you most interested in? Interestingly enough, politics is 253 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: a declining interest to most Americans. It went from twenty 254 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: five percent of the public saying is what they're most 255 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: interested in to twenty one percent. I think that's actually 256 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: kind of healthy. Personal finance and money and health and 257 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: wellness have increased. Health and wellness has increased the most. 258 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: It's probably a good thing and a bad thing. Biggest 259 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: issue facing our countries obviously the economy. Economy comes in 260 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: well ahead of everything else at twenty seven percent. That 261 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: they basically stagnant the entire yet NBC as doing this poll. 262 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Second is threats to democracy that's declined a little bit. 263 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: Threats to democracy are both people who are like at 264 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: the No King's rally and people who are at QAnon stuff. 265 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: It's two different side of the same crazy coin. And 266 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: then lastly is health care. Health Care has been pretty 267 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: consistent for a while now. Lower level is crime and safety, 268 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: that's a twelve percent, and then immigration is number five, 269 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: so fifty four percent. This is what I find very entering. 270 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: Fifty four percent agree with this statement when asked. When 271 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: it comes to politics and society, nothing really matters because 272 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: powerful people will always do whatever they want. This is 273 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure this has been this way for a very 274 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: long time, but this shows true levels of declining social 275 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: trust that the elite, that the wealthy that the politicians 276 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: can be held accountable, which is why the mishandling of 277 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: the Jeffrey Epstein story was so detrimental, because it was 278 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: such a close case of this is a very bad person, 279 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: but so far aside from Prince Andrew, who was really 280 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: held responsible, he's lost basically everything, although he didn't go 281 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 1: to jail, but he's lost all of his titles. He 282 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: no one else had any accountability. Only twenty five percent 283 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: of people disagree with that, by the way, so also 284 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: very very interesting part of the poll is when they 285 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: said how has twenty twenty five been for you and 286 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: your family? A majority of people say twenty twenty five 287 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: has actually been a pretty good year. Fifty nine to 288 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: forty one twenty twenty five, They say twenty fney five 289 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: has been a good year. They ask, how do you 290 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: think going to twenty twenty six how it will be 291 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: for you and your family? Seventy percent say it'll be better. 292 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: People are genuinely optimistic, which is interesting given the news narrative. Now. 293 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: When they ask people what economic issues are most important 294 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: to them, Number one, by by far is the rise 295 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: and cost of living forty four percent. Number two is healthcare, 296 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: all the way at thirteen percent. When they ask people 297 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: about that, how their personal finances have changed better or worse. Interestingly, 298 00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: thirty one percent of people who make more than a 299 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year say it has been better, 300 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: Forty four percent say it's the same. Plurality of every 301 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: group except for people with household incomes under fifty percent 302 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: say it is the same, thirty nine percent say it's 303 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: the same, forty five percent say it's worse. For you 304 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: will make under fifty thousand dollars a year, and when 305 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: they ask you, what what are you doing to change? 306 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: What personal decisions have you changed because of the rise 307 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: and costs of living, Sixty five percent of household making 308 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: less than fifty grand a year say they've changed what 309 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: groceries they buy to stay within budget, and sixty four 310 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: percent that say they cut back on extra entertainment. Cutting 311 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: back extra entertainment has been the number one across all groups, 312 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: but it goes from sixty four percent among people who 313 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: make less than fifty thousand dollars a year to fifty 314 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: seven percent for people who make between fifteen one hundred, 315 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: and then forty three percent by people who make over 316 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars a year. That's very very interesting 317 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: because there seems to be a clear break line around 318 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: fifty grand of what how severe the inflation is people 319 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: making over fifty grand. Our households making over fifty grand 320 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be as intense. What they're talking about 321 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: as far as things go, as far as cost of 322 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: living goes, and what they're doing to change the cost 323 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: of living is dramatically different. Right Cutting groceries is fifty 324 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: three percent for people making between fifteen one hundred versus 325 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: sixty five percent. That's a big drop. And when you 326 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: go over one hundred grand, it's down to just thirty 327 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: nine percent. So I found that very fascinating. Next up, 328 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: when they sit there and say what is your biggest 329 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 1: economic problem facing your family? Cost of housing is one, 330 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: cost of food is two. Costs of insurance health insurance 331 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: is three. That is the entire ballgame for the Republicans 332 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six. Those three things, housing, healthcare, food, 333 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: and obviously they only have so much to control all 334 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: those things. Rents are going down for four straight months, 335 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: Housings costing to be stagnant, which is good. Food is 336 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: still very expensive, and certain things, and health insurance is 337 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: still a disaster, and I it's been a disaster since Obamacare. 338 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: But speaking of Obamacare, they asked voters, would you rather 339 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: repeal and replace Obamacare, keep it or unsure? Forty six 340 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: percent say keep it, twenty four percent say repeal it, 341 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: thirty percent or unshut So why if healthcare is failing 342 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 1: do people want to keep it as is? Because people 343 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: do not like uncertainty. And Obamacare was remarkably unpopular until 344 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: the minute it was attempted to re repeal. Not because 345 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: it's working great. It's not working great. Every once is 346 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 1: there and says it's not working great. Why are they 347 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: afraid of repealing it? Because they're afraid of being uncertain 348 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: and not having health insurance if something happens. That's really 349 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: where it is. So any kind of transformation when it 350 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: comes to health insurance market has to work with inconsistent framework. 351 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: So people don't feel like there's going to be a 352 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: moment that they don't have anything to grab onto. They're 353 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: worried tremendously about that. Which party do you trust more 354 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: to handle healthcare? This is devastating for Republicans fifty seven percent, 355 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: Democrats forty three percent Republicans. Who do you trust is 356 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: that they're in handle the rising prices of everyday things 357 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: Fifty three percent Democrats, forty seven percent Republicans. I mean, 358 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: Republicans should not be losing on the economy. Maybe because 359 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: the tax cuts are coming next year and hopefully prices 360 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: are reduced. This may be okay in the end, like 361 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: this may stabilize in the end. It's not that far 362 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: off Republican Democrat, but it really has to be emphasized 363 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: that that's things are getting better. The problem for Republicans 364 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: is that the media has done a very good job 365 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 1: about branding Trump's tariffs. Tariffs are super, super unpopular. People 366 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: believe that they're responsible for the rising costs of everything, 367 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: when in fact, when they've looked at this time and 368 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: time again, consumers have not beared the brunt of rising costs. 369 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that are making those cost rise. 370 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: It's not just terroists. Tariffs are helping a little effect, 371 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: but things like health insurance, are auto insurance, are home insurance. 372 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: These things have nothing at all to do with tariffs. 373 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: How much will you spend on Christmas this year? Fifty 374 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 1: five percent say less than last year? Nine percent say more. 375 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: This is a really bad sign. People are not People 376 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: are optimist with the future, but they have been through 377 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: it this last year and they thought that it was 378 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: going to get better. Question twenty three. I'm reading these 379 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,119 Speaker 1: as they go along. Question twenty three, how would you 380 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: feel the stock market crash? By thirty percent? What a 381 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: stupid question these people charge by question, So imagine wasting 382 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: one of your questions. How would you feel the stock 383 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: market crashed? Oh, I feel wonderful. Do you support or 384 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: oppose the building of the ballroom once again, a thing 385 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: that doesn't affect anybody's life? Thirty three percent support, sixty 386 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: seven percent to pose, no one cares like this is 387 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: not why anyone's going to go vote. The handling of 388 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: the Jeffrey Epstein files with the Trudministration seventy one percent disapproved, 389 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: twenty nine percent approve. This is not a question for 390 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: me because I don't watch sports and nor do I 391 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: gamble on them, But I think it's a fascinating question 392 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: we talked with during the podcast over the last year. 393 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: Do you think that sports betting is losing is lesting 394 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: the integrity of the game? Seventy percent say yes, Thirty 395 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: percent say no, how far. How concerned are you that 396 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: the increasing availability of sports betting will lead to the 397 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: game becoming rigged? Sixty three percent say yes, thirty eight 398 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: percent say no. Okay, that's basically the poll there's I mean, 399 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: they're going to make a big deal of They asked 400 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: are you more of a MAGA support or a Republican? 401 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: It was fifty to fifty. Are you more of a 402 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: progressive or a centrist Democrat? Fifty to fifty. When you're 403 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: dealing with such an undecided population, so many people who 404 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 1: have never voted, as this poll is, you're going to 405 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: get numbers like that, it doesn't really mean anything. I 406 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing that you could take with this poll, 407 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: which I mean it probably isn't covering that extensively, is 408 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: people are optimistic about the future. But where they're seeing 409 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: their day to day lives increase, food, insurance, housing is 410 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: where they're going to go vote on those three issues. 411 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: Anything existential outside of that is not going to mean 412 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: as much. Those are the three things that if you're 413 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: a Republican consultant, even figuring like like I am. But 414 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: if you're a consultant or campaigns, you have to spend 415 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: your days thinking, how will I address these three issues? 416 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: How will I talk about these three policies that or 417 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: how to think about policies that will make these three 418 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: things better and correctly address what's affecting their rises, what's 419 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 1: affecting their costs increases, and how best a politician can 420 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: answer them all? Right, Coming up next is Ask Me Anything. 421 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: Stay tuned now it's time for the Ask Me Anything segment. 422 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: If you want to be part of the Ask Me 423 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: Anything segment, email me Ryan at Numbers Gamepodcast dot com. 424 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: That's Ryan at Numbers Gamepodcast dot com. I will either 425 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: answer them personally if they're just you know, one on 426 00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: one thing like I did actually two of them today, 427 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: or if it's a question for the whole audience will 428 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: like I will talk about it publicly on the air. 429 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: So this one comes from Patty from Sacramento. She said, 430 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed your interview Representative ROCNNA. I'm in California, 431 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: not in his district, but interested in what he says. 432 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: I caught some disconnect in his ideas and plans to 433 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: move forward regarding immigration and AI that concern me. I 434 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: like that he's actually interested in you and your opinions. Patty, 435 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: thank you, And that's why I tried whenever I have 436 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: a guest, especially I know who I am, right, I 437 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: know Democrats don't want to talk to me. I was 438 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: the guy who made the beet Bridge, I get it right. 439 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: So I always want to make people when they come 440 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: on the podcast feel comfortable have a conversation. I'm not 441 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: here to own you. I'm not here to sit there 442 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: and yell at you. I'm not going to try to 443 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: make a viral moment for myself because it doesn't it 444 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: doesn't make the audience more interested or smarter. Right, Yeah, 445 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: that's just clicks. That's what everyone does. I'm not interested 446 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: in that. I want to have a real conversation over 447 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 1: ideas because there's things that a Democrat or a Republican 448 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: could say that you could disagree with or that you 449 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: could agree with, and we can all become more intelligent 450 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: for hearing each other out. I loved represent On Connor 451 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: for coming that, but he did not make any sense 452 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: when he said that, because he's saying AI is taking 453 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: our jobs, and the same time he's talking about fears 454 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: that we're not going to be so pro immigrant to 455 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: bring in the whole world. That's why. I said to him. 456 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: I was like, you're going to run out of tax 457 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: He wanted to do this AI new deal where everyone 458 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: was getting checks from all these companies, and I was like, 459 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: you're going to run out of tax dollars if you're 460 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: bringing in the whole world. And he kind of he 461 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: didn't have an answer for it. And I think that 462 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: maybe it kind of I hope did him think, I 463 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: really do. I don't know if it did any Patty. 464 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: You say, your niece teacher is in La and the 465 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: kids don't speak English or Spanish at the home, and 466 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 1: it's very, very difficult. This type of mass immigration is 467 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,479 Speaker 1: changing the fabric of our state, in our country, and 468 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: not in a good way. I believe that we do 469 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: not take care and educate our citizens in our own country, 470 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: we will fail. We cannot help any other parts of 471 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: the world if we are a failure. Patty, I could 472 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: not agree more with that. And yeah, and I have 473 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: in laws and relatives over in different parts of the country, 474 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: in small town America, small town right America, and they're like, oh, yeah, 475 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: we have kids in THESL. Their teachers are like, we 476 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 1: have kids in THESL. They don't speak Spanish. Or English, 477 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: and they don't. We don't know, we don't know how 478 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: to communicate with them or using apps and stuff like that, 479 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: and I'm like, is that helping? And they're like, well, 480 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: it kind of and they're making like shadow puppets. Who 481 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: the hell knows. They're trying to communicate to fel any 482 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: which way possible. But if you are not literate in 483 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 1: your own language, the chances of you picking up a 484 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: second one from just a few hours of school a 485 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: day not high likely. Okay, second and last question for 486 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: this episode. It comes from Joel. Joel, thank you for 487 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: rating me again. He says he's keeping an eye on 488 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: the UK politics, especially the Guardians Today in focused podcasts. 489 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: I've not listened to that podcast, but maybe I should 490 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: check it out. He says. Have you seen the reports 491 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: alleging Nigel Farage bullied and tormented Jewish classmates in high school? 492 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: I have. I know that they're making a big deal 493 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: of this. I kind of doubt it. I mean, the 494 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: man is like sixty five years old, so I mean, 495 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: you're telling me fifty years ago that they've been holding 496 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: on this anger that he made fun of a Jewish 497 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: classmate fifty years ago. I mean, unless he like beat 498 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: them to a pulp. I would say, probably get over 499 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: someone saying something mean about you, especially considering he's been 500 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: probably the most pro Israel person, pro Jewish person running 501 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: for office in that country. What this means for Reform 502 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: ukse trajectory, especially for Ross to lead. It can a 503 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: populist party absorb something like this and survive, So I 504 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: think that Listen. The way it kind of works with 505 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: a lot of these papist parties is they kind of 506 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: worry about peaking too early, and I think that's more 507 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: Farage is wor that he's peaking too early. Labors putting 508 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: out a lot of good press stuff saying look how 509 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: much we're reducing immigration. We're reducing immigration or reducing immigration. 510 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: That may not be enough to sit there and say 511 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, but it could lessen the blow, 512 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 1: especially as progressive voters, they're not labor voters. Rather, they're 513 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: not looking to maybe Farage in many places, but they're 514 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: looking to the Green Party or the Live de so 515 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: Starmar so Farrage. Reform UK is definitely still leading the 516 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: polls Forag's biggest worry is that he has to get 517 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: very serious about leading this party to victory, a national victory, 518 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: which he's never done before. A national victory that's that's 519 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: not for the EU Parliament, before the Parliament in London, 520 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: and not be a victim's own success. And their numbers 521 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: have gone down a little bit, but they're still large 522 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: and in charge. Second, there's a new Leftis faction called 523 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: Your Party, coalescing around the former Labor figures like Jeremy Corbin. 524 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: It looks like a socialist alternative to Labor, emphasizing trans everything, housing, redistribution, 525 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: anti war and protest rights. Do you think they'll pull 526 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 1: votes from labor? That is simply yes, that's an easy answer. 527 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,359 Speaker 1: And finally, have you followed Zach Polanski's rise as leader 528 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: of the Green Party. He seems like he's pulling towards 529 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: a kind of left wing eco populism similar to the 530 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 1: young progressive circles and the US curists. If you think 531 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: the style politics could gain traction here too, it already has, 532 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, the Green New Deal was everyone's 533 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: I mean everyone gravitated towards it. But I think that 534 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: part of what left wing populism in this country is 535 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: is a lot of it is racial identity just because 536 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: of how the left views everything, even more so than 537 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: the environment. If you guys watched Jasmine Crockett announced her 538 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: run for the US Senate in Texas, it was a 539 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: bit of a disaster. Her ad was weird and her 540 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: video or her sorry, her opening speech rather was strange 541 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: where she she kind of said that we need illegal 542 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: immigration because black people stop picking cotton. Okay, Jasmine, I 543 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: don't think that that's really what Hispanics want to be 544 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: compared to I know a few Hispanics who live in 545 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: South Texas. They're usually very proud people. They've been here 546 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 1: for generations. A lot of the Dejanos always say, like 547 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: the border moved, we didn't. They've been here longer than 548 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: a lot of other people have. They don't really view 549 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: themselves as and it's interesting that she does. And it's 550 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: interesting the way she talks about illegal labor, very very 551 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: very curious. I don't know if she's gonna win, and 552 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: she might win the primary, but my guess is she's 553 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: probably gonna burn down and plumb. She als said she 554 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: doesn't want the support of anyone who voted for Donald 555 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: Trump in Texas, so that'll go very very well because 556 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: it's not like he won the stay by fifteen points 557 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: or anything like that. Then I go extremely good, she's 558 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: so smart. All right, guys. That is my episode for today. 559 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: Thank you guys for listening.
