Speaker 1: So what brings you out today? No King's Day?

12
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: And why specifically are you out supporting?

13
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 4: No king?

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Say?

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 5: I think protest is important?

16
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 3: Why are you protesting?

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: How much time you have.

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: A couple of minutes? What's the main reason you're out

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: here protesting? President?

20
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 5: Agree with a lot of the decisions that are being made.

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: Is there any decision in particular you disagree with?

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: Were?

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 6: Okay?

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 5: So I would start with, well, I don't even think

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 5: I don't even think it's appropriate for.

26
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: Me to have the singer view.

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 7: And we should go to paper ballots, we should go

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 7: to one day voting, we should go.

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: To voter ID and just one other thing, proof of

30
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: a thing.

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 7: Called citizenship in the United States?

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be nice? How simple does that sound?

33
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 7: And as we gather with family and friends, will not

34
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 7: forget the true source of our joy and our strength.

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 7: Americas put our trust in God. It will always be

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 7: in God.

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 8: We trust. We will never change that. You know there's

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 8: a movement to change it. It will not happen. We

39
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 8: won't let that happen. Can you imagine a movement to

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 8: change that.

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 9: We've ended the trianny of so called diversity, equity and

42
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 9: inclusion policies all across the entire federal government, and indeed

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 9: the private sector and our military and our country will

44
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 9: be woke.

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: No longer change.

46
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 4: We're going to make our country better than it ever

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: has been. I said that many people have told me

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: that God spared my life for a reason, and that

49
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 4: reason is to save our country and to restore America

50
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 4: to greatness. And now we are going to fulfill that mission.

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Together. We're going to fulfill that mission.

52
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: The task before us will not be easy, but I

53
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 4: will bring every ounce of energy, spirit, and.

54
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 8: Fighten that I have in my soul to the job.

55
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 7: That you've entrusted to me.

56
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 4: Nothing will stop me from keeping.

57
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: My word to you, the people.

58
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: We will make America save, strong, prosperous, powerful and free

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: again and I'm asking every citizen all across our land

60
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: to join me in this noble and righteous endeavor.

61
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: That's what it is. Great news America.

62
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 10: Thanks to the courageous, paid protesters that were dropped off

63
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 10: on buses and handed signs and told exactly what to

64
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 10: chance repeatedly all day long, America has no king.

65
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 3: Now.

66
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 11: This weekend, brave Americans took to the streets to protest

67
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 11: the monarchy.

68
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Yes, the monarchy.

69
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 11: They marched, they chanted, they posted selfies, and by golly,

70
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 11: they won.

71
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 12: What do we want when.

72
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: Do we want it?

73
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: Also, unclare we want it?

74
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: Because it was falling an email, so it must be

75
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: pro ya.

76
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 11: Today America officially has no kings. It's a historic moment because,

77
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 11: as everyone knows, there was absolutely a king to overthrow.

78
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: Apparently.

79
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 11: Now, if you were really looking for kings, you might

80
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 11: have missed your chance a few years back back when

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 11: the royal court told you which businesses were essential, when

82
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 11: the peasants could buy socks at Walmart, but Mom's diner

83
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 11: had to close its doors forever, or when the crown

84
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 11: decreed you couldn't work unless you took the royal jab.

85
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 11: That was the closest thing we've had a monarchy in centuries,

86
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 11: and it came with daily press briefings instead of royal decrees.

87
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 11: But don't worry the folks who acted like Kings back then.

88
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 11: They're still out there handing out pitchforks and warning everyone

89
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 11: to rise up against the tyranny, which is rich coming

90
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 11: from the people who built the castle.

91
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Want also unclear because they.

92
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 10: Ah, yes, another flop. But you ever stop and thinking

93
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 10: about the fact that this was a completely ginned up issue.

94
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 10: There are people paid a lot of money and they say,

95
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 10: all right, we're gonna need to distract from Trump's success.

96
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 10: We got to keep the people constantly Pavlov's dog. You know,

97
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 10: you got to get them salivating. We've got to give

98
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 10: them a reason. You got to get them all fired up.

99
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: What can we do?

100
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 10: No Kings was not, in my opinion, a really inspired choice,

101
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 10: but that's what they choose. And then they start the

102
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 10: machine into place. They go down the democratic hierarchy, like

103
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 10: like the KPO, down to the street level. You've got

104
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 10: each one gets paid along the way, and they've got

105
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 10: this this machine of an army. There's a logistics effort

106
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 10: to this. You got to get the signs printed and

107
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 10: handed to them. You got to get the shirts on them.

108
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 10: You got to make it look like, you know, they

109
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 10: all chose to be out here. And there are lots

110
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 10: of interviews and we'll play some of these on the

111
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 10: evening show today of people who said, yeah, we were

112
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 10: paid to be out here, we don't really know, and

113
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 10: so they create this moment and then all the media

114
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 10: covers it, Yeah, no keys, as if this just spontaneously occurred,

115
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 10: and then Trump has to bother to say, no, I'm

116
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 10: not a king, and then it's figure the house is no,

117
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 10: he's not a king, and we're all over here, no

118
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 10: they're not kings. But there is a success in and

119
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 10: of itself that you can control the American mindset and

120
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 10: the conversation in this way. If you spend a certain

121
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 10: amount of money, you simply create this whole, this whole

122
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 10: funeral that did not exist organically. It is not authentic.

123
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 10: It is not a grassroots movement. The way the tea

124
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 10: party was. It is planned in an office room and

125
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 10: the orders are sent down, and then the people come

126
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 10: out to the streets and they chant and they do

127
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 10: their thing, and the whole thing is over and everybody

128
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 10: goes home and the performative experience of Kabookie theater has

129
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 10: has occurred yet again. I mean, it really is when

130
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 10: you when you step back, it's it's it's profoundly absurd.

131
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Tom rad.

132
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 10: Well, that's a perfect introduction to Randy Wingarten, the president

133
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 10: of the American Federation of Teachers. Not sure what the teachers,

134
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 10: why the teachers would be involved in a rally related

135
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 10: to hating President Trump, which is what the we that

136
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 10: the No King's rally was about. But this just goes

137
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 10: to show yet again, this isn't about teachers. It's thought

138
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 10: about education, it's not about children. It's yet another union

139
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 10: designed to suck off cash and be a political interest

140
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 10: arm Here.

141
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: She is crazy.

142
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 10: This is a crazy, crazy, nutty, hysterical woman.

143

Speaker 2: The promise of America for everyone. We want a voice

151
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: in our future. We are standing up in peaceful, patriotic process,

Speaker 1: Called out no films, no crowns, no kids.

154
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 2: We are standing up because we don't want our street folds.

155
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: We don't what our neighbors disappears financeasis.

156
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 10: Oh yes, okay, and here's another real genius No Kings protester.

157
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,960

158
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 6: Why is that?

159
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. We don't like him, that's the word

160

Speaker 1: around here.

161
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: Any any particular reason why you don't like.

162
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: Him, No clue at all. I'm just going with everybody

163
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: else saying that's what they pay me to say. Yo,

164
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm here.

165
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 10: You know, here's another protester at the Chicago rally.

166
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 9: You gotta grab a cub We gotta turn around the

167
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 9: cause of this fascist system.

168
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: These Ice Asians gotta get shot and wiped out.

169
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 9: Stay the same machinery.

170
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 6: That's a fall.

171
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 9: The splay right there, has to.

172
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Get wiped out.

173
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 10: Soros has wanted a civil war for a while to

174
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 10: destabilize America, and these people are willing participants. This is

175
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 10: what they are trying to induce is a civil war.

176
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: There is no way around that.

177
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 10: Very simply put, they are calling for, demanding and instigating

178
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 10: a civil war. The funniest thing about the No Kings

179
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 10: event in Hawaii is that it had to be rebranded

180
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 10: to the No Dictator's Rally because Hawaiians had kings and

181
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 10: they loved them. The first No Kings March on June

182
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 10: fourteenth came two days after the entire state of Hawaii

183
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 10: had a hollow day called King Kamahei Maha Kamahi Maha Day.

184
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 10: How'd I do on that? Chad Kamahi Comeha, comeha Maha Day.

185
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 10: So two days after King Kamehameha Day they had a

186
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 10: no Kings event. Well that's weird. So the No Dictators

187
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 10: Rally on Saturday met on the corner.

188
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: Of Ohi po oh He pa.

189
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 10: He and Kameamea, named for the king, and po Ha

190
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:10,359
Speaker 10: pah ou o Ahi po Ahi is named for Bernice

191
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 10: pau Ahi Bishop, who was a member of the Hawaiian

192
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 10: royal family. Her trust today is valued at over fifteen

193
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 10: billion dollars, making it one of the largest charitable trusts

194
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 10: in the US. Of course, there's been massive scandals regarding

195
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 10: the trust, with trustees actually going to jail.

196
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: In addition to the state's love.

197
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 10: Of kings, one of the biggest events in Hawaii is

198
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 10: annual international hula competition in Hilo called the Mary Monarch event,

199
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 10: named in honor of the last King of Hawaii, which

200
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 10: is King Kalukawa. He was known as the Marry Monarch

201
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 10: because he loved to party and fought back against the

202
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 10: Christian theocrats who pushed previous kings to do away with hula.

203
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 10: Well that's sort of awkward, isn't it. Let's have a

204
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 10: note King's Day, all right, make sure that Hawaii's included.

205
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Oh, they actually like kings in Hawaii. Well, this is

206
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna be weird. Yeah, what do we do about that?

207
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 10: There were no kings rallies in Canada, which is interesting

208
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 10: for two reasons. Number One, you're Canadians, not Americans. I

209
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 10: know you'd like to be Americans. I know you would,

210
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 10: but you're not. So you don't need to worry about

211
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 10: what we're doing, except that you all want to end

212
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 10: up here at some point or another, and so you

213
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 10: think of yourselves as kind of Puerto Ricans or Guaymians

214
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 10: and that one day you might get to live here

215
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 10: if you're lucky. But the even better part of that

216
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 10: of no kings rallies in Canada is that.

217
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: Canada has a king.

218
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 10: Canada is actually a constitutional monarchy. The head of state

219
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 10: in Canada is not the Prime Minister. It is the

220
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 10: King of Canada. Who is King Charles the Third, who

221
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 10: became the King of Canada after his mother, Queen Elizabeth I,

222
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 10: passed in September twenty second, making him automatically her by

223
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 10: succession her next in line. The Canadian monarchy is real.

224
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 10: In fact, I wrote it down here.

225
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Let's see.

226
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, in Canada, his official title is Charles the Third,

227
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 10: by the grace of God, King of Canada and his

228
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 10: other realms and territories, Head of the Commonwealth.

229
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: No kings, no kings?

230
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 10: Actually you have a king. Well, we don't want Trump

231
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 10: to be king. He's not trying to be. You have

232
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 10: a king already. We're opposed to kings, but you have

233
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 10: a king. How are you opposed to kings when you

234
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 10: actually have a king? The irony of it, all of

235
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 10: people taking to the streets saying no kings when they

236
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,239
Speaker 10: have a king, Well, we mean no kings in America.

237
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: Oh so kings for you, But you.

238
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 10: Don't want kings in another country because you're opposed to

239
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 10: kings in other countries but not in your own.

240
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: How much did they pay you?

241
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 10: What price dignity?

242
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: How does that work? Do they pay you in cash?

243
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 10: What do you do with what they gave you to

244
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 10: stand around all day with your sign that says something

245
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 10: that you don't understand or mean.

246
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: How sad are you? Bernie Sanders has often called.

247
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 10: For government shutdowns, but speaking at the No Kings rally,

248
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 10: this makes me laugh.

249
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, he declared.

250
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 10: That this shutdown is depriving millions of federal employees of

251
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 10: the paychecks they desperately need.

252
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 13: And where we are today, Where we are today on

253
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 13: the eighteenth day of a government shutdown, which is depriving

254
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 13: millions of federal employees of the paychecks they desperately need

255
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 13: and deserve.

256
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 10: All right, let's just go ahead and address this right now,

257
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 10: because this comes up often. If you've been working at

258
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 10: the same place for more than two years, you should

259
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 10: not be living paycheck to paycheck. I see this poll

260
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 10: result come out constantly that people are living paycheck to paycheck.

261
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 10: My parents would have told you when I was being

262
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 10: raised that they lived paycheck to paycheck, and in that

263
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 10: sense they did. Because if if there was an unplanned

264
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 10: for expense exigency to use one of my favorite words,

265
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 10: that popped up, one of us got sick, one of

266
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 10: us had to be in the emergency room, some expense

267
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 10: of car, the car broke down, whatever that was, something

268
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 10: went wrong with the house and had to be fixed.

269
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 10: My dad would do most of that himself, but there

270
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 10: are things that come up. When that happened, he would

271
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 10: come up the family checkbook would come up short that week,

272
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 10: and so there would be until the next paycheck. There

273
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 10: would be dinner would be eggs and bacon, you know

274
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 10: what we already had, and my parents kept shelf stable

275
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 10: stuff at all time. There was always, you know, peanut

276
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 10: butter and the sorts of things that in a pinch

277
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 10: you could eat and you wouldn't, you know, you wouldn't

278
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 10: have to buy groceries that week. And so there were

279
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 10: times where my mom would skip a grocery visit because

280
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 10: we didn't have the money for it. However, it wasn't

281
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 10: that we were truly broke, because out of every paycheck,

282
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 10: my dad squirrelled away a little that went into the

283
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 10: credit union, the DuPont credit Union in Orange, and so

284
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 10: there was money that he kept there so that no

285
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 10: matter what, but as far as my mom knew, that

286
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 10: money was never to be touched no matter how bad

287
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 10: things got. So it was a stress when we were

288
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 10: out of money, and so, you know, you didn't get

289
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 10: two dollars to take to lunch that day for the

290
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 10: for the you went to the to the regular line

291
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 10: and you got the the she or or she packed

292
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 10: you up a lunch from home, and that was peanut butter.

293
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 1: My brother was peanut butter and jelly. I don't eat

294
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: peanut butter and jelly.

295
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 10: I Mine would be a peanut butter with chips, because

296
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 10: that's what we had, right. You kept you kept bread

297
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 10: in the freezer so you always had bread you could

298
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 10: pull out. You always had peanut butter so you could survive.

299
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 10: You always had saltine crackers. You always had things that

300
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 10: could last forever that you kept squirrel back. But all

301
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 10: the while there was money in a checking account. He

302
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 10: didn't invest it yet. When I got of age and

303
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 10: I started studying investing, I got him to start investing.

304
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 10: We got you know, he started investing in stock market

305
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 10: and it wasn't much. He didn't meet any you know,

306
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 10: he didn't meet any accredited investor standards. But it's grown

307
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 10: over the years, in the fifty four in the twenty

308
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 10: nine years or so since I got him to do that,

309
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 10: and then we took it out of the checking account.

310
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 10: The checking account was really more money you don't spend

311
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 10: and you keep it over and that money accruise, But

312
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 10: it's not It wasn't growing as fast as inflation. But

313
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 10: he didn't know that yet. He had never been exposed

314
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 10: to any of that. So we were never really paycheck

315
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 10: to paycheck, even though they felt that we were, because

316
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 10: they lived as if we were. However, there are people

317
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 10: in this country, a lot of them, who are living

318
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 10: paycheck to paycheck and have.

319
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: For twenty years.

320
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 10: Now, I'm going to tell you something that is a problem,

321
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 10: and it's a problem that nobody wants to address.

322
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: If you spend every dollar you have, and you.

323
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 10: Have consistently consistently, that is a real problem. That's not

324
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 10: a good financial decision. It's not the role of the

325
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 10: government to solve your problem. It is not the role

326
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 10: of the government to solve your problem. Now, in this case,

327
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 10: should you be getting a paycheck, Sure, every you have

328
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 10: every right to reasonably believe that you should be paid

329
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 10: for work done. And you should blame Chuck Schumer and

330
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 10: the Democrats for shutting down the government. By the way,

331
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 10: they were given an opportunity to bifurcate the two issues

332
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 10: split them apart, and let's vote on a budget to

333
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 10: get the government back up and running, and we'll deal

334
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 10: with your health care for illegal aliens later. They won't

335
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 10: do it because it's not really about that. They are

336
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 10: betting that if the American people are forced to suffer,

337
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 10: they will blame Donald Trump for that suffering. And if

338
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 10: they're wrong, okay, they'll move on to the next issue.

339
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 10: No Kings, there will always be another issue, you see.

340
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 10: In fact, my sources on Capitol Hill tell me that

341
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 10: we'll probably get a deal today or in the next

342
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 10: few days, because they didn't want a deal done before

343
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 10: the No King's rally because you see, the King won't

344
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 10: pay the serfs, the peasants.

345
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: That's what they were That was the message they were

346
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: hoping to convey.

347
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 10: The King won't pay the peasants, and so show up

348
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 10: at this rally and everybody will be angry. So if

349
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 10: they did a deal before the weekend, then people wouldn't

350
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 10: be angry. And the idea was, you get it if

351
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 10: nothing else, you get federal government employees to come out,

352
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 10: and that would be well, it didn't happen. They had

353
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 10: a very poor, lackluster turnout and if you actually look

354
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 10: at who turned out, it's a bunch of old white people.

355
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: And I will bet you if you were to get

356
00:22:59,600 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 1: down and.

357
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 10: Do some get granular on that it's the same old

358
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 10: white people that have been protesting since Woodstock. It's the

359
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 10: same old white people that have been protesting everything since

360
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 10: the beginning of time. Because if you notice, like at

361
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 10: the ice facility in Portland, there's all like half of

362
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 10: them play bad guitar, really only a quard or two,

363
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 10: but they all they're all a bunch of.

364
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: Peter Paul and Mary wannabes. Are Arlow Guthrie.

365
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 10: You know, you've got a bunch of Arlow and Woody

366
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 10: Guthrie wannabes out there.

367
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: Just please don't raid the ice facility today today.

368
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 10: And there's always these and then there's their women that

369
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 10: are out there, and there are always these pasty white

370
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 10: people that haven't bathed in three weeks. And they're all

371
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 10: Buddhists or wanna be Hindus that that never really got

372
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 10: over the Rajanish era. That's this group of people. They

373
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 10: just like to have a protest because they finished their granola,

374
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 10: they finished their gardening, they've they've done their their uh

375
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 10: you know, they're painting at home. They got nothing else

376
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 10: to do. They need something to do. My wife and

377
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 10: I saw some of them on Saturday. They had been

378
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 10: to their protest and they come into this cafe where

379
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 10: we're at, where we're eating, and they got their signs.

380
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 10: They're like, who who, that's a rough day of protesting.

381
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 10: You can't help but chuckle. It's a hobby for them.

382
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 10: It's an activity.

383
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 6: You know.

384
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 10: Some people go to car shows, some people go to concerts.

385
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 10: They go to protests. It's old white liberal hippies. Okay,

386
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 10: nobody listens to them, but carry on there.

387
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: Wiy with Michael Berry.

388
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 10: As a scheme that the Democrats have come up with,

389
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 10: I have to say, No Kings is probably the least

390
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 10: interesting of them, right, like when you come up when

391
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 10: you think of the stuff they've come up with, like

392
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 10: the climate hoax that appeals to people's fears. I'm fifty four,

393
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 10: so in the course of my lifetime there's probably been

394
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 10: about a movie per year that I've been alive where

395
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 10: the spiders take over, or the monkeys take over, or

396
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 10: the snakes take over at least the plane.

397
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: You know, this idea.

398
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 10: That nature is going to get its revenge on us that,

399
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 10: you know, that kind of fear there, Fear on that level,

400
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 10: in sort of a roller coaster way is actually for

401
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 10: some people ecstatic. It's orgasmu intense fear like that becomes

402
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 10: for them almost a sexual finish. It's exciting, it's thrilling.

403
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 10: They love it and and they will spread it, they

404
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 10: will evangelize it. It becomes all encompassing, and it's sort

405
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 10: of like the fear of COVID. You know, there's still

406
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 10: people wearing the mask because if they had to give

407
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 10: up their fear of COVID, they would lose part of

408
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 10: their identity and part of what they do. Right, it's

409
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 10: a thing for them, fear of COVID and worrying about

410
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 10: COVID gives them something to do. Most people are bored

411
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 10: out of their minds and don't know where to put

412
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 10: their energy or time.

413
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: Of any meaning.

414
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 10: You know, it's man's constant search for meaning, and so

415
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 10: what many people do is they substitute things for meaning

416
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 10: in their lives that are all encompassing. Fear is perhaps

417
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 10: the most common of them. A fear is so intense

418
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 10: that it takes over your life. And climate change really

419
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 10: captured that and It's something that they could tie to

420
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 10: their political ends. That's why al Gore became the first

421
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 10: green billionaire. He never made anything or did anything, just

422
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 10: served on boards and got them contracts, and a bunch

423
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 10: of money was redirected.

424
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: And that was that.

425
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 10: The American economy was hurt and a lot of companies

426
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 10: paid money into that the whole EV market. For instance,

427
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 10: the company Rivian doesn't actually make money on each car

428
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 10: that they make. When they sell a unit, they don't

429
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 10: sell it for more than it costs to make it.

430
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 10: They get credits from other from internal combustion engine companies

431
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 10: think Ford, Dodge, Chevy, that they then use as carbon

432
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 10: credits to Rivian, who makes only electric cars. The only

433
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 10: one that makes any money on the EV market is Tesla,

434
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 10: and they'll be the last one standing in very short order.

435
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 10: But back to the government shutdown, Consider this for a moment.

436
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 10: Is your life any worse off without the government shut down?

437
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 10: The only complaint, the only complaint is going The only

438
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 10: complaint I've gotten from anybody on the government being shut

439
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 10: down once law enforcement was covered. The only complaint I

440
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 10: got was they have an event called wings over Houston.

441
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 10: Pretty cool event. It's south of Houston in the Clear

442
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 10: Lake area where NASA is, and they do this big

443
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 10: air show and it's a big deal every year.

444
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: Everybody loves this big air show.

445
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 10: And they didn't have the Thunderbirds this year, and so

446
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 10: that that was a bummer because you know, that's the

447
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 10: federal They had to shut that part down and that.

448
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 10: But when that's all you need out of the government

449
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 10: is some of our cool planes to fly by, does

450
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 10: that tell you anything? Why don't we keep it shut

451
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 10: down and give the people back their money. Put this

452
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 10: into perspective. The governor of Pennsylvania, and I don't know

453
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 10: if he realized how bad this sounds.

454
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: This is, This is a bad sign for a state.

455
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 10: The largest employer of the state of Pennsylvania is the

456
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 10: federal government. The second largest employer is the state government.

457
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 10: That is a horrible, horrible stat.

458
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: For a state.

459
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 12: Largest employer in Pennsylvania is the federal government. Second largest

460
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 12: is the state government. And you know, I'm proud to

461
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 12: be colleagues with eighty thousand people who work for our

462
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 12: state government. I work with them every single damn proud

463
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 12: of them, are proud of the work that they do.

464
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 12: From the folks who clean our buildings to the people

465
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 12: that go out and you know, test for public health

466
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 12: issues out in our rural communities.

467
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: I value the work that they do.

468
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 12: The idea that some of them are being asked to

469
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 12: go to work without pay, that the largest employer in

470
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 12: our state is not paying their employees, that as a

471
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 12: real negative impact to the point you're making. I mean,

472
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 12: these are folks who still need to go to the

473
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 12: grocery store, they still need to pay for their kids' childcare,

474
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 12: they still need to get their kid the baseball bat,

475
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 12: they need for littally whatever, and they're not I think

476
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 12: what's different about this shutdown than past In the past,

477
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 12: they were kind of guaranteed they were going to get

478
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 12: their money back at the end of it, and so

479
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 12: it sucks, but they probably thought, Okay, I can get

480
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 12: through a week or two or three, but I'm going

481
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 12: to get all that money back. The way Donald Trump

482
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 12: is doing things, the way these people around them are

483
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 12: doing things, I don't think they know they're going to

484
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 12: get their money back, and so it's not just about

485
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 12: kind of floating through three weeks. Right, maybe dip in

486
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 12: the savings, put the money back to he sent them.

487
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 12: You have the savings This is really serious stuff because

488
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 12: they don't know that they're going to get that back pay.

489
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 10: And in order to pay the government employees, you've got

490
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 10: to agree to an omnibus bill that sends money to

491
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 10: every country around the world to do things like, you know,

492
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 10: study the mating habits of some weird mammal that we

493
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 10: didn't know existed, or encourage people in Pakistan if they're gay,

494
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 10: to pursue a career in singing, or some fund in

495
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 10: Egypt where if you're a transgender we help you learn

496
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 10: to walk in high heels.

497
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean, this is ridiculous.

498
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 10: You are playing a hostage game with Well, don't you

499
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 10: want your government employee neighbors to get paid? Sure, honest job,

500
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 10: honest pay, whether that's private or public sector. All right,

501
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 10: but I'm not willing to allow the waste and abuse

502
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 10: to go to other countries because you've bundled it all up.

503
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 10: So no, I'm not, and I think most Americans agree

504
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 10: with me on that. I believe that is. I believe

505
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 10: that Americans have had enough. I think we're tired of

506
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 10: sending money around the world when our people are struggling,

507
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 10: and you know what never gets talked about, and you

508
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 10: I mean, listen to people have conversation about the budget. Hey,

509
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 10: we're sending a billion dollars to Ukraine.

510
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: We shouldn't do that. We should instead spend it over it.

511
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 10: No, no, we should give that money back to the taxpayers.

512
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 10: It is as if once that money goes into the vault, boom.

513
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 10: Now they argue over where it is spent. But it's

514
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 10: not their money, it's our money. That's the whole point.

515
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 10: That's the whole point. We are taxing our people more

516
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 10: and more and more. You've got your income tax, you've

517
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 10: got your property tax, you've got your sales tax. You've

518
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 10: got a tax on everything, regulations, finds, permits. You are

519
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 10: destroying innovation. You are taking the money of the people.

520
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 10: You are preventing that money from being in circulation to

521
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 10: buy goods and services, all the while growing the government,

522
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 10: growing the government. That's what has to stop. The government

523
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 10: has to shrink. It is so hard to do, though,

524
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 10: because you're trying to get government to shrink itself. And

525
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 10: what you see, I mean the state of Pennsylvania. I'd

526
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 10: be embarrassed. I'd be humiliated to be the governor and say, yeah,

527
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 10: our largest employer a federal government our second largest in

528
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 10: state government.

529
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 1: Give us our tax sallargs, won't you
