1 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Time to check in again with the FBI, and it's ugly. 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: We're going to check on the economy, and there's a 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: story out there people aren't talking about but should be. 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: All that's coming up, and I'm. 5 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: Right, all right, we'll get to the stories of the 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: day here in just a moment. But there's something we 7 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: want to do, something we always do on the show, 8 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: something that's very important to us, honoring the fallen that 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: in a different way than normal. Let me explain many people, 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 1: many people, and we love this honor military people or 11 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: cops who fall in combat. And I'm glad we do that, 12 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: and we always should, in my opinion, we neglect the 13 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: people who die in training. But the truth is the 14 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: people who die in combat training and you know training 15 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: for a fireman just died in New York not. 16 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: Long ago, and things in training. 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: People who die in training, they are every bit as 18 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: heroic as the ones who charged a machine gun nest 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: and their sacrifice is every bit as valuable. Now that 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: it's no comfort to the families, right who got that 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,279 Speaker 1: knocked at the door saying Dad's never coming home again. 22 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: It's not a comfort there. But in the end, I 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: hope they do take that into account. Dad didn't just 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: die in some stupid training accident and it was all 25 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: for nothing. Those training accidents, that's how military cops fire, 26 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 1: That's how they learn hard lessons about what works, what 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: doesn't work, what's faulty, and lives in the end will 28 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: be saved. But training for combat is a dangerous bit 29 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: of business. So let me do something before I read 30 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: their names. Actually, because we just lost five of them 31 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: helicopter crash black Hawk over the mediterrane These guys were 32 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: part of the one hundred and sixtieth Special Operation Aviation Regiment. 33 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: Now what does that mean? For most people? 34 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: That means nothing, So allow me to explain that shit. 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: It's really really cool. 36 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: They're called the night Stalkers, all right, the night Stalkers. 37 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: What do they do?

The last Green Beret I talked to, 49 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: he talked about these crews, these special operations, helicopter cruise, 50 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: and he said, those guys are braver than we are. 51 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: He said, they're crazy. These guys with these night stalkers. Man, 52 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: they don't have an option, you know, if they drop 53 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: somebody off behind enemy lines and then it's time to 54 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: go get them, or they get in trouble, time to 55 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: go save them. They don't have the option like every 56 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: other flight crew does in the world of saying Ooh, 57 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, have you checked your weather app Oh 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 1: it's kind of windy. 59 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: No, it doesn't matter what the conditions are. 60 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

We faced adversity right 148 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 7: here in the House of Representatives when on January sixth, 149 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 7: twenty and twenty one, a violent mob of insurrectionists incited 150 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 7: by some in this chamber, overran the House floor as 151 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 7: part of an effort to halt the peaceful transfer of power. 152 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: That's the most powerful democrat in the United States House 153 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: of Representatives, without the slightest bit of hesitation talking about 154 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: the terrorists who dropped those towers. 155 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 2: In you in the same breath. 156 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: How could the FBI act this way? How could they 157 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: conduct themselves this way? Because the FBI is full of 158 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: people who believe that you, in your patriotism and your 159 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: First Amendment, your second ammbent that you are a terrorist. 160 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: The CIA believes you are a terrorist.

The DHS believes you are a terrorist, and 163 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: they intend to conduct themselves with you and the exact 164 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: same way they conducted themselves with Islamic jihad. Because that 165 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: sounds gary to you, I hope it does, because the 166 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: future of this country is frightening unless Republicans in office 167 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: in state office forget about the losers in federal office 168 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: in state office until they start getting pro active, and 169 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: they stop participating in multi agency task forces, until they 170 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: start getting proactive about protecting their citizens from an evil 171 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: federal government. Well, we got some rough roads ahead of us. 172 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: I'll just cap it off with this one in case 173 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: you weren't worried enough yet.

The FBI 175 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: they're actually purging agents as we speak with military records. 176 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: Why do you think that is? 177 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: You see the FBI they're building a secret state police 178 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 1: agency for one one purpose and one purpose only. And 179 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: those pesky patriotic veterans, they're the most likely ones to 180 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: get in the way. 181 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 2: If they're getting those guys out of the way. 182 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: Well, all that may have made you uncomfortable, but I 183 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: am right, we have quite a show for you. In fact, 184 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: I have a former FBI agent joining us. Now, let's 185 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: hear what Garrett thinks about my warnings? Are they over 186 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: the top ridiculous? You don't have to take it for me. 187 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm just the talk show host. What does the FBI 188 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: agent have to say about it? Before we get to him, 189 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: Let's get to this. I saw I saw an article 190 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: today and very few things make my job drop, But man, 191 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: just how fast things are moving.

Oh, in the name 198 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: of climate change, of course. And this isn't some radical 199 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: street mob group. The Western governments, our own included, are 200 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: attacking our food supply. 201 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: Do you have an emergency three months food kit. 202 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 2: Yet you're gonna want one of those. 203 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: I hope you never do, but the chances are you're 204 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: going to want one of those. 205 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: My Patriots Supply has them prepped, ready to fly out 206 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: the door.

What advice would you give. 216 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 2: Them that would advise them not to do it? 217 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 8: So you would legitimately try to protect one of your 218 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 8: colleagues from doing what you have done. Absolutely, and how 219 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 8: do you think that solves being able to shine light 220 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 8: on corruption, weaponization, any kind of misconduct that exists with 221 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 8: the American. 222 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: Utile It doesn't solve it. But the FBI will crush you. 223 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 9: This government will crush you and your family if you 224 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 9: try to expose the truth about things that they are 225 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 9: doing that are wrong. 226 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 2: You don't have to take it from me. Garrett knows. 227 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: Joining me now, Garrett O'Boyle, former FBI agent, veteran and patriot. 228 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: You know, as that old saying goes, everybody wants to 229 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: do a patriot until everyone wants to be a patriot, until. 230 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: It's time to do patriot things. 231 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: Well, Garrett did patriot things and came forward, and now 232 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: they're well, they're attacking him like the CHECKA has always done. 233 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: Garrett, you tell. 234 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: Your story really quickly before we get into the latest 235 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: and greatest. 236 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: What did the FBI do? 237 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: What are those great men and women at the FBI 238 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: do to you when you came forward? 239 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 2: Jesse, First of all, thanks for having me back on. 240 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 9: And you know, like I said in my testimony, they'll 241 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 9: try to crush you, and that's exactly what they tried 242 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 9: to do to me and my family. We're now learning 243 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 9: that that's absolutely what they were trying to do, and 244 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 9: we have people in the FBI who were admitting. 245 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: That that's what they were trying to do. 246 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 9: So while I was mid transfer, they basically tried to 247 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 9: strip us of everything and make us financially destitute. As 248 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 9: the latest whistleblower revelation has revealed. 249 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: Garrett, speaking of latest whistleblower revelation, people are finding out 250 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 1: the FBI they're trying to purge people with military records. 251 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 2: Garrett. Why in the world would the FBI be doing 252 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: such a thing. 253 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 9: Well, I think it's because we have gone beyond the 254 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 9: pale as a country, and when the government is going 255 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 9: to attack its military veterans like me and others. I 256 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 9: served a year in Iraq, a year in Afghanistan as 257 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 9: an infantryman in the army. They've deemed people like us 258 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 9: to be a threat because we actually meant our oath 259 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 9: to the Constitution and we see that they are the 260 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 9: ones violating simple American principles of freedom. 261 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 2: Garrett. 262 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: Okay, the FBI people you're still in touch with, are 263 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: they aware of what's happening. 264 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: I'm trying to gauge. 265 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: What percentage we have to worry about here. I realized 266 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: the whole thing is a concern. The ones just following 267 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: orders are just as big of a concern as others. 268 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 1: But how many of these people are truly committed to 269 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: destroying every Republican and how many are just following orders 270 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: waiting for that pension. 271 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 9: I think the vast majority are just following orders, which honestly, 272 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 9: it's not a good enough excuse. I've been in touch 273 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 9: with a number of colleagues former colleagues over the last 274 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 9: few days since this most recent whistleblower allegations. An article 275 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 9: came out, and some of them they see it like 276 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 9: I saw it, and they feel stuck, they don't know 277 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 9: what to do. And then others keep their head in 278 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 9: the ground like an Ostrich and say I didn't see 279 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 9: what you're talking about, which, just based on my experience, 280 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 9: everybody in the FBI can see and knows what's happening 281 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 9: at this point, Garrett, can. 282 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: You describe how things changed or if they changed after 283 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: you got to the FBI. I guess I'm trying to 284 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: understand has it been this bad for quite some time? 285 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: And I'm just now coming to realization on it. Is 286 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: this something that's gotten progressively worse over the last year 287 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: five years? 288 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 2: When did it start getting really bad? I think it's 289 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 2: been really bad for a long time. 290 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 9: I think I was fooled in twenty eighteen when I 291 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 9: was hired. I believed the FBI to be overall a 292 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 9: pinnacle law enforcement institution. 293 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 2: In the world, and I think we all have been 294 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: kind of duped in. 295 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 9: That regard, and we've believed this legacy of lies that 296 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 9: is the FBI. And I think the real tipping point 297 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 9: was in September of twenty twenty one when President Biden 298 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 9: mandated that better employees get the COVID vaccination. At that point, 299 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 9: it became very clear that the vast majority of people 300 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 9: in the FBI, the people who are sworn to legally 301 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 9: protect and uphold the Constitution, they decided to vast majority 302 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 9: of them decided to opt for that paycheck over their principles. 303 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: Goott. 304 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: We just saw this Gregory Yetman's story. FBI stakes out 305 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,199 Speaker 1: his home for three months, then they end up on 306 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 1: some kakamami man hunt before the guy turns himself in. 307 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 1: We remember the story out of Utah just a few 308 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,719 Speaker 1: months back. Seventy five year old fat old man who 309 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: can't walk to the mailbox without a cane, and they 310 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: kicking his door at three am and he ends up dead. 311 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: Is this stuff malicious? There are a million peaceful. 312 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: Ways to take down a seventy five year old, fat 313 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: old man who can't walk the dog without a cane. 314 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: You don't have to bust in his door at three am? 315 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: Did they do this stuff on purpose? Skirt? 316 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 9: I do believe that this is intentional at this point 317 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 9: there there's really no other logical explanation. I was an 318 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 9: FBI SWAT agent myself. I know our good friend Steve Friend, 319 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 9: he also was one, And these type of things go 320 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 9: directly to some of the disclosures that he brought forward. 321 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 9: We're using SWAT and in instances that we really shouldn't 322 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 9: there And and don't get me wrong, SWATT has a place, 323 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 9: but in the FBI, it's become the absolute hammer that 324 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 9: they bring out whenever they want to make a show. 325 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 9: And I think that's that's what we're seeing again here. 326 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 9: And you know, like you said with this latest one 327 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 9: in New Jersey, was that the best way to go 328 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 9: about it? And you know the guy ended up self 329 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 9: surrendering later anyways, so perhaps being in touch with his attorney, 330 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 9: you know, similar with the with the fat guy in Utah, Like, 331 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 9: there are other ways to go about coming to a 332 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 9: peaceful resolution, and it seems like the FBI always lately 333 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 9: ops for the most difficult and the most likely that's 334 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 9: going to end up in some type of violence. 335 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: Do Garrett, my brother, Thank you. We're praying for you, 336 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: helping the best. All right, listen, I know when we 337 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: talk about the FBI, you know, we open up the 338 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: show talking about it. 339 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 2: Now we've talked about it with Garrett. 340 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: I know this stuff can feel overwhelming because you don't 341 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 1: have access to elect these people. Right, it's not the 342 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: FBI is not somebody you can go vote out, right, 343 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: So what can normal person do? What do normal people do? 344 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: I want to reemphasize what I said in the opening. 345 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: Your state has incredible powers. Your state. Your state needs 346 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: to start using those powers and preparing to use those 347 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: powers more. 348 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: In the future. 349 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: State governments, specifically ags and governors, they need to be 350 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 1: completely reorienting their date police force not to go after 351 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: their own citizens, to stand up in defense of their 352 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: own citizens. This may sound radical, this may sound over 353 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: the top, but if you've read anything about the history 354 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: of secret state police agencies, you will know this is 355 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: our only path forward. It must be done without it. 356 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: The checka comes for all. It's the way it works. 357 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: All right, all right's. 358 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: Talk about economic things. Before we do that, Let's talk 359 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,199 Speaker 1: about our dogs. We want our dogs not only to 360 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: live longer, we all do we want them to live better? 361 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: Meaning I don't want my dog to have digestive problems 362 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: and ear infections, and I don't want his coat to 363 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: get doll and his energy to get low and his 364 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: breath to get bad. And we assume these things are 365 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: just natural, that these things happen to dogs. They're not 366 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: just natural. These things happen to dogs because dogs don't 367 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: get real nutrition. We give our dogs dog food and 368 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: we think it's real nutrition. But there's no nutrition in dogfood. 369 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: That's why it's brown. That's why they have to spray 370 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: lard on it to get your dog to even eat it. 371 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,679 Speaker 1: Otherwise your dog would just look at it like it's 372 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: a piece of styrofoam. Roughgreens gets poured on your dog's food, 373 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: all natural nutritional supplement. Your dog will get all the 374 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: nutrition it needs to live longer and better. How about 375 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: fewer visits to the vet free jumpstart trialbags. Roughgreens dot 376 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: com slash Jesse, all right, Roughgreens dot com slash Jesse. 377 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: Or eight three three three three, my dog, We'll be back. 378 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: Well we get inflation numbers tomorrow. I don't know that 379 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: we need to stress about those because we already know 380 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: they're awful. It doesn't matter what the number says. 381 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: It sucks. 382 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: If you buy meat, you know they suck. But I 383 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: want to get smarter today. You want to get smarter. 384 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: That's why we brought Steven joining me now, host of 385 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: the Great Steve Cortes Show. Steve Court says, Okay, Steve, 386 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: before we even get to what we're anticipating for tomorrow 387 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: and all that other craft. Before we do all that, 388 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: can you explain to stupid people like me, what is 389 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: the difference between CPI and inflation? And they throw in 390 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: all these words Steve that community college people like me 391 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: do not understand. So can you please break this down 392 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: for normal people like me? 393 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 10: No, you're right, And I think, by the way, sometimes 394 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 10: that's by design that media economists, Wall Street people. They 395 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 10: want to make things that are not complicated, seeing complicated 396 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 10: so that people don't grasp necessarily the reality what's happening. 397 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 10: But of course, in this case, when it comes to inflation, 398 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 10: particularly when it comes to tangible things kitchen table items 399 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 10: like food and gasoline. 400 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: And utility bills, people are very aware. 401 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 10: Of what has happened in their lives since Joe Biden 402 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 10: took office and really since the lockdowns of twenty twenty, 403 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 10: and the exorbitant borrowing and spending began back then, and 404 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 10: it was accelerated by Biden. But let me speak tangibly, 405 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 10: since I don't want to confuse people. Food prices, Grocery 406 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 10: prices right now are up twenty percent since Biden took office. 407 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 10: And if you don't like percentages, let me get you 408 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 10: a couple of staples items. 409 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: Because I think this is really important. 410 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 10: Let's talk about chicken breast boneless chicken breast up over 411 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 10: a dollar a pounds since Biden took office. Ground coffee 412 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 10: of a dollar fifty a pound since Biden took office. 413 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 10: So these are the real world, tangible effects the fallout 414 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 10: of terrible economic policies and a Washington DC that is 415 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 10: intent on borrowing and spending this country into actual poverty. 416 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 10: So the rate tomorrow may be slightly better than the 417 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 10: most horrendous rates of last year. 418 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 2: But Jesse, here's the important point. 419 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 10: The media will try to fool people that inflation is 420 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 10: going down. 421 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 2: No, prices are not going down. 422 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 10: The rate that you are getting bludgeoned might be slightly 423 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 10: less worse. 424 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 2: To put it in really simple street terms. 425 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 10: Okay, if you've been getting your butt kick lately, Okay, 426 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 10: somebody is kicking you, punching you, and they're clubbing you. Well, 427 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 10: maybe they put away the club for now, but they're 428 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 10: still kicking you and they're still punching you. That's the 429 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 10: reality of inflation going up, and tomorrow expectations. 430 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 2: Are it's going to go up at three point three. 431 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 10: Percent, which might seem okay compared to the recent past, 432 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 10: but compared to most of American history, that's a terrible 433 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 10: punishing number. 434 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, and I'm glad. Actually, 435 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: I want everyone to go read if you can. He 436 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: has a piece up on his substack about food inflation, 437 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: and that's really what I wanted to get to next, 438 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: Steve is I want to know when it's going to stop. 439 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: I got an email today. I read it five minutes 440 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: before the show started. One of my listeners. He just 441 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: sold his last gun to pay for his food in 442 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: electric bill this month. People can't they can't keep going 443 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: this way. We're gonna see people getting kicked out of 444 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: their homes, moving back in with parents. That's where we're going. 445 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: It's where we already are. When does it stop? That's 446 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: what the normal person wants to. 447 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 2: Know, Jesse. It will stop, but we stop borrowing and 448 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 2: spending so much. That is the reality, because. 449 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 10: Unfortunately, right now, the trend, particularly in food, still remains 450 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 10: very much a bold market for food, meaning food prices 451 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 10: continue to go higher. And let me show you what 452 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 10: I mean, not just my opinion, but by actual prices 453 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 10: in the market, because price is truth. There's a chart 454 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 10: of DBA that are provided for your producers. DBA is 455 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,479 Speaker 10: a stock ticker and even though it trades like a stock, 456 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 10: it represents physical commodity, so everything from corn to cattle, 457 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 10: all the things that are produced in the middle of 458 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 10: this country, Jesse, the flyover places like Nebraska and Texas 459 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 10: that feed the country that supposedly important people don't care about. 460 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 10: So in that chart of DBA, you can see what 461 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 10: I'm talking about that goes back one year and again 462 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 10: this is all the physical commodities, the input costs into 463 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 10: food production, pork, bellies, wheat, all of it. And as 464 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 10: you can see this going back one year, the trend 465 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,479 Speaker 10: is demonstrably from the lower left of your screen to 466 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 10: the upper right. We just hit the highs for the 467 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 10: year and we are very near an. 468 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: All time high. 469 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 10: The highest this DBA ever got was twenty three. That 470 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 10: was last year under Joe Biden. And to put that 471 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 10: in context, this is up thirty six percent DBA is 472 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 10: since Joe Biden took office. So when I look at 473 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 10: that chart, I don't think you have to be a 474 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 10: Wall Street trader like I was for many. You don't 475 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 10: have to be a Wall Street trader to recognize that 476 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 10: the trend here is clearly upward. It doesn't appear there's 477 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 10: any relief in sight, and Americans are very cognizant of this. 478 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 10: My organization, the League of American Workers, just took a 479 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 10: poll of the key battleground state to this country and 480 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 10: we asked them, within inflation, what are you most concerned 481 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 10: about it? Jesse I was frankly surprised, far and away 482 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 10: at the number one issue was food, way above gasoline, 483 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 10: above utilities, above rent. 484 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 2: Those were all. 485 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 10: Significant, but food was Sixty percent of Americans named food 486 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 10: prices as either their number one or their number two 487 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 10: inflation concerns. 488 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: So the most. 489 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 10: Basic necessity of life, feeding your family, has become a 490 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 10: source of real anxiety and real stress for Americans right now. 491 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: This is a dire situation. 492 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: Jesse it is actually does it surprise me, Steve? I 493 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: am amazed that amongst my normal friends, because I don't 494 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: hang out with political people, how often that is brought up. 495 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: Now, food costs. 496 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: You go to a neighborhood party on the weekend, You're 497 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: there for five minutes, and someone's complaining about the cost 498 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: the beef, the cost of beggs. People are really freaking 499 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: feeling it, which actually brings me to this. We just 500 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: got word that consumer confidence hits a six month low. Well, 501 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: what does that mean? What is consumer confidence? Why should 502 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 1: I give a crap? Why do I care if the 503 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: consumer is confident? 504 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 2: What is any of this mean? 505 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 10: Stupe But you should care because confidence begets confidence. In 506 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 10: other words, when people are feeling good, they generally will 507 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 10: take more risks, they will spend more, they will borrow more, 508 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 10: they will work harder. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true 509 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 10: when people are in a sour mood, when they are pessimistic, 510 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 10: that can also become self reinforcing to the downside. And 511 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 10: as we see on that chart there, and this goes 512 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 10: back ten years, so I'm providing some context here. University 513 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 10: of Michigan, every single month does an index of consumer sentiment. 514 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 10: And this is really the gold standard of consumer centimenter 515 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 10: goes all the way back to World War Two. 516 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 2: I provided ten years of data here though, and as. 517 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 10: You can see, consumer confidence for many years before the 518 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 10: lockdowns hung around in the upper nineties basically up near 519 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 10: one hundred, would occasionally touched one hundred, but America a 520 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 10: pretty confident nation on the whole. Not surprisingly, it tanked 521 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 10: during the on site, scientific and draconian lockdowns. But guess what, 522 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 10: it has continued to trend lower ever since. We just now, 523 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 10: just days ago hit sixty instead of the upper nineties, 524 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,919 Speaker 10: we're now at sixty, well below the lockdown lows. The 525 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 10: spring of twenty twenty, we're at a new six month low. 526 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 10: And what this tells us, again, Jesse, is not my opinion. 527 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 2: Not yours. 528 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 10: This is empirical evidence that the American people are suffering 529 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 10: from those food costs, from all of the other costs 530 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 10: that are out of control, and if they're getting increases 531 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 10: in their pay, they're not sufficient to keep pace with 532 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 10: prices that are galloping higher. People are in a very 533 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 10: sour mood, but they're in a sour mood. 534 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: For valid reasons. 535 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 10: They are not fooled on these issues by the corporate 536 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 10: media that is trying to gaslight them and pretend that 537 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 10: this is a good economy. 538 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 2: It may be a good economy for a very precious few. 539 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 10: There are some folks out there and some companies who 540 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 10: benefit mightily from inflation, but the vast majority of people, 541 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 10: especially working class people, are suffering terribly right now, and 542 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 10: we see it reflected in market prices, We see it 543 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 10: reflected in surveys. You know, shak says hips don't lie. Well, 544 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 10: the numbers don't lie. The numbers tell the tail right here, unfortunately, 545 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 10: that this is an economy that is in terrible shape, 546 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 10: and it's put in Americans in an awful mood. 547 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, more honest than Shakira's hips does. Why is Moody's 548 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,479 Speaker 1: Why is Moody's down on us? 549 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 2: Steve? 550 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: As we wrap this thing up here, why are they 551 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: down on us? Who's Moody's? Why should I care? 552 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 10: By the way, I had to mention Shakira because she's Colombian, 553 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 10: and yes, since I'm a Colombian heritag she's my favorite 554 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,719 Speaker 10: all time Colombia Alo Sophia Bagar is right up there. 555 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 2: But listen, why should we care about Moodies. All right, 556 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 2: Moody's and downgraded. 557 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 10: Here's the issue right now, our total outstanding debt as 558 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 10: a percentage of GDP, it is at a higher level now, Jesse, 559 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 10: than it. 560 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: Was during World War Two. 561 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 10: I think of the mobilization that it took to fight 562 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 10: two concurrent wars across each ocean. During World War Two, 563 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 10: we took on a mammoth amount of debt back then. 564 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 10: We paid it off incredibly quickly afterward and into the 565 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 10: nineteen fifties, and that an era of prosperity. We have 566 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 10: more debt now relative the size of our country than 567 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 10: we did during World War Two. 568 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: So we're not a very good borrower anymore. Our credit stinks. 569 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 10: If the United States has a credit score, and effectively 570 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 10: it does. 571 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 2: From Radyja agencies like Moody's, that credit score is going 572 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 2: down and down and down. 573 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 10: The Fighto's score for the United States stinks, and unfortunately, Jesse, 574 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 10: it deserves to be lowered. 575 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, Steve, thank you brother, Come back soon. All right, 576 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: let's talk about education in this country.

Federal law does 603 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 11: not allow. 604 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 2: Me to do that. Well, why don't you just a ployt. 605 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: It's against the law. 606 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 11: Federal law doesn't allow me to do that. This has 607 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 11: created a crisis that's wrong for New York taxpayers, wrong 608 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 11: for the migrants, and wrong for our city, and wrong 609 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 11: for our country. And the national government is not doing 610 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 11: their job. This is so devastating for our city. 611 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: Wow, that doesn't sound very welcoming anymore. 612 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: What happened to the sanctuary city up there? 613 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: Dang joining me now, Eric o'donald, she is the CEO 614 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: of Optimum And Okay, Erica, I don't understand what happened 615 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: in New York City. I was total over and over again. 616 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: What do they call these people migrants? They look at 617 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 1: their migrants and that obviously it's a sanctuary place and 618 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: it's a safe place. 619 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: Is it no longer a safe place? What happened up there? 620 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 12: It's amazing how different they sound when it's no longer 621 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 12: just Florida and Texas and Arizona dealing with with this immigration. 622 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 6: Crisis that we know is existing. 623 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 12: It's great to hear finally the people of New York 624 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 12: and the so called sanctuary state sanctuary cities feel the 625 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 12: brunt of this. Frankly, as someone who is a proponent 626 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 12: of education, education reform, and the children the education that 627 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 12: they deserve. Our children have been feeling the brunt of 628 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 12: this for many years. It's getting worse and worse as 629 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 12: more of these migrants are flooding on our cities and 630 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 12: students are. 631 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 6: Even more behind than they ever have been. 632 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 12: After COVID and now New York City as well as 633 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 12: many other places around the country are understanding that this 634 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 12: influx of migrants is totally unfair. It's taking resources away 635 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 12: from American students who need them so desperately. 636 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk for a minute about the need of American students. 637 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because right here where 638 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: I sit, there's a tiny town called Alvin, about five 639 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: minutes away from here, and in Alvin they have to 640 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: have a special Spanish speaking wing. They are so over 641 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: overwhelmed with illegal immigrant kids. And Alvin isn't exactly posting 642 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: the best doctor scores I've ever seen in my lifetime. 643 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: This cheats American children, and not enough people talk about this. 644 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 6: You're absolutely right. 645 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 12: There have been studies that an influx of non English 646 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 12: speaking students take resources away, teacher attention away. We're watching 647 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 12: as places like Chicago and other major cities have to 648 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,880 Speaker 12: hire more and more social workers, They have to hire 649 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 12: more special needs supports, and those are not for American 650 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 12: students who also need these resources. It's inevitable that resources 651 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 12: aren't diverted to the ones who need them the most. 652 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 12: And the migrant students are coming in very far behind 653 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 12: with their educational progress, so teachers have to slow down 654 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 12: an already slow and water down curriculum. So what is 655 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 12: happening to our American students who need the extra support 656 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,439 Speaker 12: after all of the learning loss that we saw during 657 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 12: the pandemic. 658 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: Okay, sitting the illegals aside in a moment, Let's just 659 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 1: focus on the American kids. 660 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 2: Where are they? What is the status? 661 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: Because every teacher I talk to, where every educator I 662 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: talk to, they tell me it is frightening how far 663 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: behind American kids are compared to other kids around the world. 664 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 12: And we are competing, well, we would like to be competing. 665 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 12: I would say we're not doing a very good job. 666 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 12: We have forty high schools in Galtimore, forty entire high 667 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 12: schools that have zero students who are proficient in math 668 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 12: and reading. Those are entire schools with not a single 669 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 12: child who is eligible for graduation through proficiency. 670 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 6: We're looking at thirty eight percent. 671 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 12: Proficiency in mathematics grade three to eight in New York City. 672 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 12: The number is even lower in Illinois, twenty seven percent 673 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 12: proficient in math. The majority of our students graduating from 674 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 12: high school are not proficient at grade level. That is 675 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 12: ridiculous statistic. It means that we are not competing on 676 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 12: the global stage. And these statistics are made worse by 677 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 12: the fact that we have not done anything significant to 678 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 12: ensure that students are caught up from learning loss after 679 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 12: the pandemic, and instead we are flooding our schools with 680 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 12: students who need more and more support. 681 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,920 Speaker 6: How are we going to fix this? We need more transparency. 682 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 12: Instead, we see Oregon completely eliminating the requirement that students 683 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,240 Speaker 12: be tested proficient in reading and math to graduate high school. 684 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 12: Can we really call them graduates or should we just 685 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 12: call them finishers? 686 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,760 Speaker 2: Okay? How could we be this far behind? 687 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: Like you reference Baltimore schools, and obviously Baltimore has a 688 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 1: million and one problems. 689 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 2: I realized that. But the kids are going to. 690 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: A school, right, something that calls itself a school, and 691 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: they're sitting in a classroom by somebody who calls themself 692 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: a teacher. What are they doing all day watching movies? 693 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: Not that I had any problem with movie day, but 694 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: what are. 695 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 2: They doing all day? 696 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 12: It's a good question. It's something that I've been battling 697 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 12: for the past twelve years. Is curriculum crisis in our country. 698 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 12: The progressive curriculum, the ideology that's taking time away from 699 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 12: the reading and mathematics that really should be the focus 700 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 12: of our education institutions. Just a lack of seriousness around 701 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 12: the scholarly environment that we. 702 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,520 Speaker 6: Should be creating in our schools. 703 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,720 Speaker 12: Instead, we're talking about a focus on ideology, a focus 704 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 12: on cultural issues. Really, it has taken away from the 705 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 12: focus on reading and mathematics proficiency. And we've also seen, 706 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 12: because of social pressures, schools moving children along who are 707 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,480 Speaker 12: not performing at grade level. In states like Florida, who 708 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 12: said you cannot pass third grade without reading are now. 709 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,920 Speaker 6: Loosening those standards. 710 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 12: We just saw a bill introduced here in Florida to 711 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 12: try to eliminate the requirement for students to read on 712 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,760 Speaker 12: grade level by grade three in order to pass. 713 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,440 Speaker 6: We cannot allow this pressure to continue. In fact, we 714 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 6: need to tighten those standards to. 715 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,280 Speaker 12: Ensure that students are not getting to high school without 716 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 12: the skills that they need to be successful. 717 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 2: What's classical education. 718 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's not what I received, but you said 719 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: you're in favor of it, so it's probably good. 720 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 2: What is it? 721 00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 12: Right At Optima ED, we do run classical schools, including 722 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 12: a classical online school that's available throughout the country. And 723 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 12: classical education really takes you back to the traditions that 724 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 12: have succeeded over thousands of years. A returns of the 725 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 12: liberal arts and sciences, including explicit phonics, explicit grammar like 726 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 12: diagramming sentences, classic literature, reading of source documentation like the Constitution, 727 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 12: the Federalist papers, and even going back to the Magna carta. 728 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 12: Truly learning the basis of scientific thought and theory, socratic 729 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 12: discussion and debate. It's teaching children all of the foundations 730 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 12: of thought that have proven successful over thousands of years, 731 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 12: and it gives them both the knowledge and the virtues 732 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 12: to be successful in whatever that they decide to do 733 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 12: in life after their education is completed. 734 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: Speaking of sentence structure, can you not end the sentence 735 00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: with the word is just? I ask, because I do 736 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: that all the time, and people yell at me and 737 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: say that's inappropriate. 738 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 6: Well with it. 739 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 12: I am a CPA, not an educator. I'm in this 740 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 12: because I needed school choice for my children. I discovered 741 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 12: classical education. I ran for school board, discovered that the 742 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 12: public education system is not the way that I would like. 743 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 6: To see reforms happen. 744 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 12: In fact, it's just impossible in some ways to reform 745 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 12: the public education monopoly. 746 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 6: And so I started a company that's. 747 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 12: Going to start schools and make a classical education available 748 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 12: tuition free to as many families as possible, people who 749 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 12: need it, like I did for my own children. 750 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,280 Speaker 6: And so I feel your. 751 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 12: Pain because I didn't get as good of an education 752 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 12: growing up as my children are getting or the children 753 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 12: are Optimus schools. But I'm a determined to end that 754 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 12: here and now and make sure that generations beyond us 755 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,720 Speaker 12: have that opportunity. 756 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 2: So what is this optim thing? Is this homeschooling? 757 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 1: Like if I want to yank my kids out of school? 758 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 1: Could I do this in my house? Or I should say, 759 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: my wife, not me. 760 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 6: You you absolutely could. This is Optima. 761 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 12: Academy Online is available across the country, as well as 762 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 12: in states that offer education scholarship accounts essays like Florida 763 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 12: and Arizona, and you can access it for free. It's 764 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 12: actually the world's first VR virtual reality school. So not 765 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 12: only is it a classical style of education, but the 766 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 12: live learning takes place in VR in three dimensions, so 767 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 12: students can not only learn from a live classically trained 768 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 12: teacher in a what looks to be a traditional classroom, 769 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 12: they can also go to Ancient Rome or Independence Hall 770 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 12: and have the Constitutional experience, or even to the moon 771 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 12: for the lunar landing. It's a pretty amazing school and 772 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 12: we have over four hundred students in that experience in 773 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 12: our second year of operation this year. 774 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 1: Oh that sounds sick. My school sucked, Eric, Thank you 775 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 1: so much. That was awesome. Thank you. 776 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 2: That sounds freaking sweet man. 777 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 1: The kids you see, Look, that's why we wanted to 778 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 1: have her on. You have options for your kids now, 779 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: if your kids are in some garbage public school, there 780 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: are options, all right, something something to look into, all right, 781 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 1: Just have light in the mood. Before we get to 782 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: lighten the mood, let's do something though. Make preparations. We 783 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,719 Speaker 1: kind of preparations. Well, I don't know. Let's look at trends. 784 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: What's the Chinese government doing? Do you think they're fairly 785 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,200 Speaker 1: in tune with the world economic system? What are they 786 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: doing right now? They're buying up every pound of gold 787 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 1: they can get their Chinese fingers on across the world, 788 00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 1: every pound of it. They're acquiring it by the tone. 789 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: Why they see what's coming now. 790 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 3: I don't expect you to be able to buy it 791 00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 3: by the ton I certainly cannot. 792 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: That's what Oxford Gold Group is here for.
