1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air. I just 3 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: got an email. 4 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 3: I'm a company with which I do business and the 5 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,199 Speaker 3: person at that company they're not a show sponsor, so 6 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: I could say their name, but I'm not going to. 7 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: There's no reason too. They've they meant no harm. But 8 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 2: the email. 9 00:00:51,159 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 3: Is I hope your April is not too taxing. A 10 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: picture of her the bottom, Happy tax day. There. 11 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: You know what, Maybe this works on women. Maybe it does. 12 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: Maybe they don't realize how cringe worthy this is to men. 13 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: One of my great frustrations doing what I do is 14 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: often there will be a woman in charge of the 15 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: relationship with me from a company. This usually happens with 16 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: big companies, and they'll have an internal marketing girl. She's 17 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: usually a marketing assistant, it's her title, and she got 18 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 3: a psychology degree. She's a nice girl. She's done nothing wrong. 19 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: I don't mean to suggest I hate her. She's awful, 20 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 3: but she's the bane of my existence. And I almost 21 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: never speak for companies for which this is the case, 22 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 3: because she may actually have also on her side an 23 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: ad agency, and the role of the ad agency is 24 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: to make me want to kill myself. 25 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: And the way they do that. 26 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 3: Is they say, we want you to speak for John's Burgers. 27 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 3: I love John's Burgers. I know John. Yes, John loves you. 28 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: You love him. 29 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: He asked us to make this happen. They would like 30 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: to sponsor your show. Great Me and John's Burgers, a 31 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: partnership made in Heaven.

Okay, ye, 34 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 3: lots of exclamation marks going back and forth, and so 35 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: they will send copy points and it will be a 36 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 3: list of forty eight things with lots of exclamation marks. 37 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: I don't know why women feel the need to in 38 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: in sentences with exclamation marks, is what are you doing 39 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: with the X eclamation marks? How would you know when 40 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 3: a sentence is racy or exasperated or intense because everything 41 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 3: has exclamation marks. And so you got all these exclamation 42 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: marks the end of every sentence, as if that's just 43 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: basic punctuation.

Yep? 173 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 3: All right, Well I'm not telling mom and dad, please 174 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 3: don't life lesson out of character. Stupid thing made a 175 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: mistake man enough to tell it. Got my butt whipped 176 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 3: and should have got my butt whipped. And that's how 177 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 3: it works. Right, That's been going on since the dawn 178 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: of time. That's not what we're seeing now. To start with, 179 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 3: the girl fights are as bad or worse than the 180 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: boy fights and more frequent. Number one, But number two, 181 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: I notice something in these videos that are and I'm 182 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 3: sorry that it's gonna I'm not sorry. This is gonna 183 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: upset some of you because I'm saying it, But if 184 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 3: I observe it, I'm gonna say it. 185 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: I don't care who it upsets. 186 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 3: I see videos of young blacks in fights, either with 187 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: a white kid, hispanic kid, or another black kid. And 188 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 3: when a kid is incapacitated, when they are on the 189 00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 3: ground helpless, including sometimes knocked out, the then or the 190 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 3: attack does not discontinue and nobody makes them stop. There 191 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: is the understanding when there are two combatants in a 192 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 3: fight by everyone around that if you let them go 193 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 3: at it the moment one has a distinct advantage, you 194 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 3: stop the fight. You will see these these hood rats 195 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 3: in these videos where some guy, and it might be 196 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: a black guy walking down the street. Someone else comes 197 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 3: up and the other one is taking a shot on 198 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 3: somebody when they don't see it, knocks them out they're 199 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: on the ground. Then everyone runs up and stops them. 200 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: And kids get killed this way, not just kids, people 201 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: get killed. This is part of the world Star video library. 202 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 3: It is a trend and and it speaks to something 203 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: that is far more sinister. There have always be, and 204 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 3: been and always will be fights. It is a form 205 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 3: of conflict resolution. Whatever you think about it. There's a 206 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: time and place for it. There's a manner of it 207 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 3: that you know. Pugilism is part of our society. We 208 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: have boxing as a sport, okay, and any number of 209 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 3: other UFC and all sorts of other things. But the 210 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 3: idea that when someone is down you continue to hurt 211 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: them and passers by and your gang cheers and joins in. 212 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: That is a level of darkness that speaks to a vacant, awful, stupid, 213 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:54,479 Speaker 3: backward people, that subculture of people who do that. They're irredeemable. 214 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: They're irredeemable. 215 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: You know. 216 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 3: The point at which we had to have police departments at. 217 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: The schools, that was the moment. That was the moment. 218 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: It was all over the fact that you have to 219 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: have a police department in these major school districts. That 220 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: is everything you needed to know of what went wrong. 221 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 3: We didn't need a school The cops were never called 222 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: to our school ever. First of all, mister Gentry had 223 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: played college football and he would have beat the snot 224 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: out of you if you did anything. Mister Donner, the 225 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 3: assistant superintendent, there was a great fight between Chris Ashworth 226 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 3: and some punk that had moved in and it's punk. 227 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: You could stay in school till you're twenty one back then, 228 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 3: and then you had you were kicked out, no matter 229 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: what rage you're in. This guy was like a sophomore, 230 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: but he was twenty one. He'd come in from Louisiana. 231 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: He was rough, man oo man. At the time, I 232 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: just thought, Oh, he's rough, he's gross, he needs to 233 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: go away. But I look back now and I go man, 234 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: the things that kid had seen twenty one in tenth grade, 235 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: and he was a quibodeau thibodeaux arsenal something. 236 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: He was mean. 237 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 3: Oh, it was mean. And he came in and he 238 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 3: fought Chris Ashworth, which was our starting right tackle all state, 239 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 3: big tough guy. And as often happens in fights like that, 240 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: the bigger boy starts with the advantage in the in 241 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: the younger the other, the smaller guy that's the better 242 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: fighter ends up winning. And that was also the case 243 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 3: of Larry Cisk and Tracy Reeschu. There's probably only three 244 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 3: people listening who remember those fights under the bridge between 245 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 3: Orangefield and Bridge City, but it's. 246 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 2: Worth it just just that three people will. 247 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 3: Remember those stories, but all of those were fights that 248 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: were resolved with the black eye and a legend and 249 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 3: a story to tell, and you move on down the road, 250 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: and cops didn't need to be called. You've got a 251 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: situation now where you've got gangs in high schools. And 252 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, all of this can be traced 253 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 3: to the coalition between the black violent subculture and white liberals. 254 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 3: Those two people combined to ruins that they can never 255 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 3: be in a position of authority, and they are in 256 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 3: the public school system. 257 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: So hurry into cricket City. 258 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 2: So here's a perfect example. 259 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 3: Houston Press, April fifteenth, taxing headline, it's a mess colon 260 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 3: Houston senior citizens fear recession from Trump's tariffs. All right, 261 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: Houston senior citizens fear recession from Trump's tariffs. Okay, you've processed. 262 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 3: So you've got old people not in the workforce anymore, 263 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 3: afraid of a recession. A recession is a good thing 264 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 3: if you're on government benefits. A lot of these things 265 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: aren't aren't understood. If I'm getting Social Security, the opposite 266 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 3: of inflation is recession. I want a recession. I want 267 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 3: less money in the economy. So if I got one 268 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 3: hundred dollars that I get from the government and my 269 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 3: Social Security and I got one hundred dollars, and I 270 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: gotta try to figure out how to eat as many 271 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 3: times as possible. I don't want an inflationary boom time 272 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: because then everybody's got all the money in the world 273 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 3: and I can't afford anything. But in a recession, my 274 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: guaranteed amount of money that I get per year, per 275 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 3: month goes further. But that's all right. You're afraid of 276 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 3: Trump's tariffs because deep down he's a Nazi. Remember, all right, 277 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 3: here we go. Parthenia quote Miss pat end quote. Cheney 278 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: was born and raised in Houston's Sunnyside community. I will 279 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: describe parthenia. I can't tell her age, but she's a 280 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 3: big black woman. She's sitting down and she's got a 281 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 3: walker in front of her, and then a lot of 282 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 3: stuff around. And she's at the Houston Health Department. I 283 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,359 Speaker 3: see assigned by She's down at Houston Health. 284 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: Pert. 285 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 3: We've probably found her at the Houston Health Department, and 286 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: it says parthenia. Miss pat Chaney was born and raised 287 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: in houston Sunnyside community.

She 291 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 3: moved back to the home she grew up in and 292 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 3: is now one of millions of Americans barely getting by 293 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 3: on a monthly government check. Okay, well, that has nothing 294 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: to do with Trump's tariffs, nothing to do but the 295 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: check she gets from the government is not as much 296 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: as she would like. Now, if she got two thousand 297 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 3: and more per month in her government checks, do you 298 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 3: think she'd say she still just barely getting by, Because 299 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: I do. But she's barely getting by, and that damn 300 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 3: Trump's gonna screw it all up with tariffs. Tariffs are 301 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: a tax on foreign products coming into this country that 302 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 3: has no effect on what she gets per. 303 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 2: Month, but we'll continue. 304 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 3: Cheney says she got a notice earlier this month that 305 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: because she had reached the quote official retirement age end 306 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 3: quote of sixty six point eight years old, her disability benefits, 307 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 3: because of course, she gets disability benefits stemming from a 308 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 3: twenty ten foot fracture that forced her into expensive orthopedic 309 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: shoes and left her unable to drive a vehicle will 310 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 3: now be folded into her Social Security check. See them tariffs, 311 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: I guess she's not sure what the next payment will 312 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 3: look like. Adding to her fear and frustration are the 313 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 3: tariffs that President Donald Trump announced last week and then 314 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: walked back, at least temporarily. Yep, don't know what we're 315 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 3: gonna do with them tariffs and all. I don't even 316 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: know how much my check on this month with them 317 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 3: tariffs in all, quote, things already tight, price is already. 318 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: High, Cheney said. 319 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 3: The anticipation of all this is actually scaring me. I'm 320 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 3: not surprised. She says it, like, I know you don't 321 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 3: believe this, but I'm actually scared. No, I think you're 322 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: scared a lot. And that's okay, because I think old 323 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 3: people tend to get scared a lot. I spend a 324 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: lot of time around old people nowadays, and I can 325 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 3: tell you that old people are scared a lot. That's 326 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 3: not an insult, it's not insensitive. That's the nature of 327 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: being old. Young people are not scared at all. Young 328 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 3: people are irrationally without fear. Old people are irrationally overcome 329 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 3: with fear. It's the human dynamic, she continues, just playing 330 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 3: old eggs are five dollars. Things are going up. Wait 331 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: a minute, Parthenia, you probably don't know this because wherever 332 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 3: you consume your news, they don't tell you this. Inflation 333 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 3: in March went down the most it's gone down in 334 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 3: five years. Did you know that inflation went down? The 335 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: cost of goods went down two point four percent, So 336 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: eggs aren't actually going up. Eggs have decreased more than that. 337 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 3: It was a temporary blip. Eggs have decreased more than that. 338 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 3: Do you not know that? Or would that not fit 339 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 3: your narrative because you don't really even know what a 340 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 3: tariff is, do you You don't know how it would 341 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: affect anything. You just kind of have a general sense 342 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 3: that the people you trust, the Sheila Jackson Lee's and 343 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 3: Jesse Jackson's aren't standing around Donald Trump saying well after 344 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 3: every time he makes a statement. So you figure that's 345 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: not good for people like you, But actually it is. 346 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 3: She continues, I have medication costs, I have doctors that 347 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 3: I had to pay uber when I can't do metrolyft. 348 00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 3: The tariffs, Yeah, they scare me, they worry me.

Economists say it's too 361 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 3: soon to tell whether Trump's reciprocal reciprocal terriffs will tank 362 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 3: the American of Coon. We don't know yet, but we'll 363 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 3: figure it probably will. And Parthenia, she's scared and force 364 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: a recession. But Ustonians who live on fixed incomes say 365 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 3: they're already feeling the effects. This includes people like Dan, 366 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: who says he lost one hundred thousand dollars in stocks 367 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 3: his retirement savings. It also includes seventy three year old 368 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 3: Fanny Patten, who worked for forty two years on an 369 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 3: assembly line for Goodman manufacturing, checking air conditioning units for leaks. 370 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 3: She met her husband at Goodman and the couple's been 371 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 3: married for thirty nine years. Patent and her husband each 372 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 3: received about two thousand dollars a month from Social Security. 373 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: They don't live extravagantly. You know, you never hear the 374 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 3: man on the street described as living extravagantly. Do you 375 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: ever notice that you never hear them spending money they 376 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 3: don't have, And yet everybody's eat up with credit card debt. 377 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: I wonder how that works because people don't see themselves 378 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: as living extravagantly. You let my dad look at their finances. 379 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 3: My dad still has a few dollars in the bank 380 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 3: on very little income. 381 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: Because we never ate out. 382 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 3: He would tell you, all these people live very extravagantly. 383 00:23:53,480 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: Ye ye, Michael Berry, you are to ring the King's English. 384 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: Doctor. 385 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 3: Ron Paul was an accomplished doctor. He delivered Selena imagine 386 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: now in Lake Jackson. He was well loved in his 387 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 3: community as a husband. 388 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: As a father. 389 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: He would raise a successful doctor who would go on 390 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 3: to be a senator from the state of Kentucky. 391 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: Ron Paul would talk a lot. 392 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 3: About government being evil, and in so doing he was 393 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 3: part of a long line of thinkers about the very 394 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 3: nature of government and government's weaknesses, which are human weaknesses. 395 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 3: Many people think of government as something that can be 396 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 3: built and then sat on a shelf and it'll just work. 397 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: But it doesn't. 398 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 3: It involves humans, and that's where the error occurs. That's 399 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 3: why for every answer you come up with, like term limits, 400 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: if we can just have term limits, the same people 401 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 3: saying term limits want Trump to serve a third term, 402 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 3: which of course he can't. Now term limits. If we 403 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 3: had term limits, Michael, what happened is the people would 404 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 3: go down there and they would serve, and then just 405 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 3: about the time they got evil, we'd go term limits 406 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 3: and they go, oh, dad, coming, I was gonna steal 407 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 3: y all blind, all right, And then they would turn around, 408 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 3: they go home, they go back to work, they go 409 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 3: back to doing whatever they were doing selling insurance or 410 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 3: real estate or prics and law that they were doing before, 411 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 3: and the government will work. Well, except it won't. That's 412 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 3: not how it works. You can't create a structure absent 413 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 3: human beings. That's to set it and forget it, and 414 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 3: it works a lot of reasons term limits don't work. 415 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 3: I'm all for term limits. Don't get me wrong, except 416 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 3: they're not the answer you think they are. Elections are 417 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: That's how you take back your government. You get involved, 418 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 3: you stay involved, you run good people for office. But 419 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 3: Ron Paul famously said we should abolish the FBI and 420 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 3: the CIA. He said the income tax is unnecessary. You know, 421 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 3: this country lasted till twenty thirteen without an income tax, 422 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 3: and then it was only supposed to be. 423 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: On the rich. That's how they get you. 424 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: Just a rich huh oh, sorry, nineteen thirteen, nineteen thirteen, 425 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: and they said it's only going to be on the rich. 426 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 3: And for the first three years, it was. 427 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: What is it now? 428 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 3: Where did it end up? Where it always ends up. 429 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 3: People laughed at him when he talked about abolishing the 430 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 3: income tax. 431 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 6: The income tax is unnecessary. Again, something happened in the 432 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 6: twentieth century where the American people decided that there would 433 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 6: be the steenth There's something happened where we have changed 434 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 6: our attitude about what we want from our government. We've 435 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 6: ushered in this overwhelming runaway welfare state that we cannot afford, 436 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 6: and we've also became an American empire where we have 437 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 6: troops around the world and we pay for the defense 438 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 6: of Japan and Germany and everybody else. But at the 439 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 6: same time, you had to have two ways of financing 440 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,199 Speaker 6: this one. We decided we'd have an income tax that 441 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 6: we would start subtle and small, that would escalate to 442 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 6: the point that it really is the biggest rip off 443 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 6: in the country, along with a federal reserve system that 444 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 6: allows us to monetize. 445 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 2: Sixty five years ago. 446 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 6: Well, I know, but since sixty five years we have 447 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 6: seen the deterioration of this society that we love. I mean, 448 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 6: the libertarian society is no longer with us because the 449 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 6: amount of tax coming out of the economy is still 450 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 6: much greater the amount of taxing GETA. 451 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 3: We'll put the rest of that on the daily Blast today, 452 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 3: and I'm going to confirm that we can post the 453 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 3: video of the fight at Katie High School, which you 454 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 3: can't see anywhere else, on the Blast.

There is a way. 470 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 7: How do you feel about you know, in the old 471 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 7: days when we were smart, when we were a smart 472 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 7: country in the eighteen nineties, and all this is when 473 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 7: the country is relatively the richest it ever was. It 474 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 7: had all terraces, It didn't have an income tax, Yes, sir, okay. 475 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 7: Now we have income taxes and we have people that 476 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 7: are dying. They're paying tax and they don't have the 477 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 7: money to pay the tax. Now, in the old days 478 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 7: eighteen ninety eighteen eighty, we had so much money they 479 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 7: had to set up committees, blue ribbon committees, how to 480 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 7: spend our wealth. We had no idea how to spend 481 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 7: it with so much money. Then we went to the 482 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 7: income tax system, and the rest is sort of history. 483 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 7: But no, there is a way, I mean, if we 484 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 7: if what I'm planning comes out, it's a great question. 485 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 7: By the way, everyone could have done it.

If you know, it was 503 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 8: for us, the American people, to become the first and 504 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 8: recorded history ever voluntarily to surrender our rights to write 505 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 8: a property. Yes, we did with an innocent sounding constitutional amendment, 506 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 8: the sixteenth, which says that Congress will have the power 507 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 8: to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived. 508 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 8: And we forgot to put any limit on the extent 509 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 8: to which we could tax ourselves. Conceivably, we could be 510 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 8: taxed out of all private property. We could be taxing 511 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 8: up seventy ninety percent, but one hundred percent. We could 512 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 8: awaken one morning and find that the government owns the 513 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 8: farm and the house and the car, and has a mortgage. 514 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: On the church. 515 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 8: Legally, historically, whenever any nation has taxed its people more 516 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 8: than twenty five percent of their national income, the initiative 517 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 8: was destroyed and that nation was headed for economic eclipse. 518 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 8: History says, we'll roll forward on momentum for a little while, 519 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 8: but we'd better get some more gas in the tank 520 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 8: pretty quick. See ours is not the first by a 521 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 8: Georgia good government to arise on the world stage. There 522 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 8: have been several Rome, Spain and Greece and China, and 523 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 8: each enjoyed about one hundred and fifty years at its 524 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 8: it that's just about our time in the New World, 525 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 8: and then each decayed away. Not one of them was 526 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 8: ever destroyed by anybody else's marching legions each rotted away morally, socially, culturally, 527 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 8: economically simultaneously. You know, one of the most cruel paradoxes 528 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 8: of history is this. Because each was a good. 529 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 2: Government, it bore bountiful fruit. 530 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 8: When it bore bountiful fruit, the people got fat. 531 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 2: And when they got fat. 532 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 8: They got lazy. When they got lazy, they began to 533 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 8: want to absolve themselves of personal responsibility and turn over 534 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 8: the government to do for them things which traditionally they 535 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 8: had been doing for themselves. At first, there appears to 536 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 8: be nothing wrong asking government to perform some extra service 537 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 8: for you. 538 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: But if you ask. 539 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 8: Government for extra services, government, in order to perform its 540 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 8: increasing function, has to get bigger, right, And as government 541 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 8: gets bigger, in order to support its increasing size, it 542 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 8: has to watch tax the individual more. So the individual 543 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 8: gets littler, and to collect the increased taxes requires more 544 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 8: tax collectors. So the government gets bigger. In order to 545 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 8: pay the additional tax collectors, it has to tax the 546 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 8: individual more. So the government gets bigger, and the individual 547 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 8: gets littler, and the government gets bigger, the individual gets littler. 548 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 8: Until the government is all powerful, the individual is hardly 549 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 8: anything at all. The government is all powerful. 550 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 2: The people are cattle
