1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: So how do you know when your government is broken? 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Let me give you an example of when you know 3 00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: when the country's COVID nineteen relief bill includes ten million 4 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: in gender programs for Pakistan. You might know that your 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: government is broken when a spending bill comes to the 6 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: four of the House with only four hours to read it. 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: You know your government's broken. When the spending bill is 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,479 Speaker 1: five thousand, five hundred and ninety three pages long, you 9 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: know that your government is broken. The latest stimulus bill 10 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: is five thousand, five hundred ninety three pages long. They 11 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: had just a few hours to read it, and if 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: every member of the House and send it printed it out, 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: they would have used two point nine nine two million 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: sheets of paper to put it in perspective about what 15 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: is in this bill. Now, let me just again tell 16 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: you how you know that the government of the United 17 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: States America is not working for you. In fact, they're 18 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: working for everybody else in the world. But you American 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: taxpayers are having to deal with the coronavirus lockdowns, and 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: we're now being told to show out billions of dollars 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: in foreign aid to countries with a two point three 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,199 Speaker 1: trillion dollars spending bill that was unveiled on Monday. This 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: budget busting bill was posted online Monday afternoon, only hours 24 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: after how Speaker Dainty Pelosi he said a vote would 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: be held. I want you to hear what one congressman 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: had to say about how insane all of this is, 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: because it is insane. It is insane that no one 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: had time to actually read the bill. It is insane 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: that you had all of this money right, all of 30 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: this cash going out to foreign countries when Americans actually 31 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: need it. Take a listen to Center Mike Lee. He 32 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: posted this on Twitter last night as he was printing 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: out the bill behind him on a printer. We're in 34 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: the process of printing out the spending bill that Congress 35 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: will be voting on late tonight. We just received it now. 36 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: The bill is five thousand, five hundred and ninety three 37 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: pages long. I've been in the Senate now for ten years. 38 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: This is by far the longest bill that I've ever seen. 39 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: One of the things that it's extraordinary about this one 40 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: is that because of the length, it is impossible that 41 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: anyone will have the opportunity to read it between now 42 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: and the time that we will vote. And I am 43 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: absolutely certain that this has been poppled together by a 44 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: very small handful of Members of Congress and their staffs, 45 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: to the exclusion of ninety eight percent of members of 46 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Congress of both political parties in both houses. The interesting 47 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 1: thing here is that it took us about three minutes 48 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: just to print out the first hundred pages, which I've 49 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: got right here. But given the length of it, this 50 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: is going to take us over three hours just to 51 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: print it out. That's before anyone's even had a chance 52 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: to read it. I wish I could say that this 53 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: sort of thing was unusual the length is. But being 54 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: asked to vote on something that we have never had 55 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: the opportunity to even see, much less digest an amend 56 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: is unacceptable. Legislation like this needs to be voted on. 57 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: It needs to be understood at the time it's voted on. 58 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: Members need to have the chance to not only read 59 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: it and understand it, but also vet it with their 60 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: constituents and improvements or being told that we'll have none 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: of those opportunities tonight, and I think that's very unfortunate. Yeah, 62 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: one fourth of the spending bill under consideration in Congress 63 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: today has nothing to do with America. It's money going 64 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: all other areas of life. The bill is so huge 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: that lead as you're in said, said, there would take 66 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: three hours just to print it out, and they'll still 67 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: have to vote on the bill tonight. Three hours to 68 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: print the damn thing. Here's a really sad thing. We're 69 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: being told. There's will be no opportunity to amend or 70 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: improve this bill. As a result, nearly every member of 71 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: Congress House and send a Democrat a Republican will have 72 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: been excluded from the process of developing the bill, which 73 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: will cause some American taxpayers tradings of dollars. It's processed 74 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 1: by which members of Congress are asked to defer blindly 75 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: to legislation to gootiate entirely in secret by four of 76 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: their colleagues. Must come to an end, Michael said. It 77 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: won't come to an end until no longer works for 78 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: those empowered by it. This can happen, but only when 79 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: most members of both houses and both political parties stop 80 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: voting for bills they haven't read and but by design, 81 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: cannot read until after it's already been voted on. He's right, 82 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: by the way, would it would take enough members to 83 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: vote no on the bill until they they've had the 84 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 1: chance to read it. Honestly, now would be the time 85 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: to do so, since the election is over. In the 86 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: next elections at least two years away. But we all 87 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: know that that will not happen because they love this. 88 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: And what happens is is you get to put in 89 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: all your port barrells spending. You get to put it 90 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: in and no one gets to take it out. So 91 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: everybody gets whatever the hell they want to put in there. 92 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: And by the way, Joe Biden loves this. He's already 93 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: greeting the passage of the six thousand page bill, the 94 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: rown Up Bill, with a call for even more spending. 95 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: President elect Joe Biden said yes to this massive six 96 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: thousand page coronavirus relief and spending bill with calls for 97 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: more spending on a pandemic in the new year when 98 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: he's the president. Quote, I applaud the relief package, he said, 99 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: but our work is far from over. Starting in the 100 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: new year, Congress will need to immediately get to work 101 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: to support our COVID nineteen plan. My message everyone out 102 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: there struggling right now, help is on the way. Yeah, 103 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: you get six hundred dollars while the rest of the 104 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: world gets millions now. Biden's assessment is consistent with what 105 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: he's been saying in recent weeks, echoing the view of 106 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: many Democrats who see the bill as the beginning of 107 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: a negotiation, not the end. The notion the more aid 108 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: is necessary, the mode, the idea that more lockdowns are necessary, 109 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: but government a will come in so you'll submit to 110 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: their lockdowns. Biden times has said talks should start as 111 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: early as January. This sets up perhaps the first major 112 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: legislative tests for the new president and his self proclaimed 113 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: negotiating skills. Democrats had held back from passing a coronavirus 114 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: relief bill before the election because they didn't want Donald 115 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: Trump to get any credit for it. How Speaker Niswer 116 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: Pelosi all but admitted this when asked why they've been 117 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: willing to accept less spending now than she demanded before 118 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: the election. Pelosi had used such taxics before delaying the 119 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: passage of a bipartsion relief bill in the spring and 120 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: stalling for the expansion of the payment Protection Program earlier 121 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: this year. Because she doesn't care about you. She cares 122 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: about winning. She cares about power, same way that these 123 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: governors are power drunk, trying to shut you down, and 124 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: the weaker you get, the stronger they get. That is 125 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: the part that everybody needs to understand. When Democrats do 126 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: things like this, what they just did, You know they're intent. 127 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: You don't have to guess. This is about shutting you down. 128 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: This is about beating you. This is about silencing you. 129 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: When you're weak, they are strong. When you are strong 130 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: and independent, they don't have the power over you that 131 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: they desperately want and need. That is exactly why they're 132 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: doing this. This is exactly why they've decided to do 133 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: this because they believe that when you lose your business 134 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: and lose your ability to provide for yourself, that they 135 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: will then come in and say I got you. When 136 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: you hit rock bottom, they are your master. When unemployment 137 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: rates are high, they have extreme power. When you are 138 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: independent and things are low, they have no power. Never ever, 139 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: ever forget that. But first, if you want to help 140 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: the people in Georgia with what's going on there with 141 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: a Senate election, then you need to join aim Act, 142 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: the number one conservative organization the country.

Nobody's read any of this crap. 213 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: By the way, Representative Andy Biggs slammed the bill before 214 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: the details even emerged, saying, we still don't have text 215 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: yet for this massive spending bill and we'll likely be 216 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 1: expected to vote on it later today. Just another bill 217 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: we have to pass. The American people to discover all 218 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: the goodies that special interest jammed into it over the 219 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: past week. This is what's in the bill. This is 220 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: what we're doing right now in this country. All of 221 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: this money I just told you about could have gone 222 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: to the the American people, could have gone to small business owners. 223 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: You have to ask yourself the question why why is 224 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: the money not going to small businesses? Because they don't 225 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: really want to help you. Why do you think they're 226 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: only giving you a six hundred dollars. The reason why 227 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: they're only giving you six hundred dollars is very clear. 228 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: They don't want you to actually survive that they are flourished. 229 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: I should say, they don't want your company to do well. Okay, 230 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: they don't want your company to succeed, your small business 231 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: to succeed. They don't want you to succeed. You give 232 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: them no power when you are strong. Why do you 233 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: think they hated Trump so much? Why do you think 234 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: they love COVID? COVID gave them their power back. Without COVID, 235 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: these guys lost everything. I'm referring to the democrats. Egypt 236 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: and Sudan are both receiving more assistants and Americans who 237 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: don't know where their next meal will come from.

Smithsonian is a billion, 243 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: no offense. But who's going to the Kidning Center right 244 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: now with this pandemic going on?

We cannot afford these things right now. The 252 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: government says, oh yeah, we'll take your money and we're 253 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,359 Speaker 1: going to redistribute it to all of these other countries 254 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: and all these other people.

So that you 336 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: know I can survive. Ends up eight thousand, nine hundred 337 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: and seventeenth in line. Joining me now to talk about this. 338 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: A man that has an incredible article about this up 339 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: on bright Bart and we'll tweet it out, put on Facebook, Twitter, Parlor. 340 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: The whole shebang is Kyle Olsen. He also has a 341 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: great podcast and I'll tell you more about in a moment. 342 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: But before we get into all of that, Kyle, you 343 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: hear these governments say, just trust us, We're going to 344 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: do the right thing. We're gonna help you. We're gonna 345 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: shut you down, but we're gonna fix it. You're gonna 346 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: be able to survive because we're gonna give you money. Now, 347 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: you got this, this whistleblower basically telling you, Hey, I 348 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: went to apply for this grant. I'm eight thousand, nine 349 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: or seventeenth in line. How does this even happen? Well, 350 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: it happens because the government thinks that they know what's best, 351 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: and so they create this situation where people are desperate. 352 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: They're desperate to keep their business open, they're desperate to 353 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: feed their families, they're desperate for their kids to go 354 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: to school. And so then the government says, as you said, 355 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: we're here to help you, but you just you need 356 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: to get in line in order for us to help you. 357 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, you may be eight thousand, nine 358 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen in line. And so this situation happened 359 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: to Kim Letty. She's the owner of Delhi Delhi in Pickford, 360 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: which is in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and she 361 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: applied for a pure Michigan small Business relief grant. And 362 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: she said, she told me she was in line of 363 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 1: this virtual line for ten hours just to apply to 364 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: see if she would be eligible to apply for the grant. 365 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: This is the craziness that's going on in Michigan, in 366 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: New York, in California and across the country. You know, 367 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: of course, the government says in Michigan, this again shows 368 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: you just how how out corrupt, uh, these local governments are. 369 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: They don't really want you to stay open, uh, so 370 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 1: they do stupid things like in New York City, Well 371 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: you can dine outside during a blizzard. What's the temperature 372 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: where you are today in Michigan, what's the low to day? 373 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: Out of curiosity, well it's it's in the low thirties 374 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: and okay, so so low thirties. So here's the deal. 375 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: You own a restaurant, and I, as the governor WM, 376 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a deal. I'm going 377 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: to allow you and your establishment to survive by giving 378 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: you the opportunity to dine outside. Now, out of curiosity, 379 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: what does the health risk of sitting outside in the 380 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: low thirties? Kyle in Michigan. Well, that's that's a very 381 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: very good question. And what Kim told me because her 382 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: her establishment again is in the eastern Upper Peninsula. She's 383 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: literally probably five miles from Canada. I mean, the border 384 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: is right there, and which, of course Canada is cold 385 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: in the winter. And so I looked it up what 386 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: the temperature was going to be in Pickford, which is 387 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: where her business is. There's a low temperature this week 388 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 1: of twelve degrees. And so the governor and the government 389 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: is telling her, well, in order to do in person 390 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: dining they have people have to be outside. And so 391 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: there's this absolute disconnect from reality. And so and she, 392 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: in fact, she said, do you think the governor has 393 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: even been to the Upper Peninsula before? Because it gets 394 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: cold here in the winter. Yeah, And just you know, 395 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: when I saw your article, and it's incredible. It's up 396 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: on Brightbart and we're gonna link it so people can 397 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: see this on our parlor account, Twitter and Facebook this 398 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: article and if you go to Brightmart right now you 399 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: can grab it. That the headline as Michigan restaurant seeks 400 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: relief grant after Governor Whitmer shut down ends up to 401 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: up eight thousand, nine seventeenth in line. You can find 402 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: it there. But I looked at for one of the 403 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: first things I looked at when I saw this, Oh this, Hey, 404 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: you can do outside dining, so you should be happy. 405 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm the dictator, I'm the governor. I'm going to tell 406 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: you how to live your life. Right now. It's twenty 407 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,399 Speaker 1: six degrees in Pickford as we speak, a low of 408 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: twenty four tonight. Thursday, for example, you high of twenty seven, 409 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: a low of ten degrees. So go eat dinner Thursday night. 410 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: It'll be great. You'll really enjoy it. Fridays even worse, 411 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: a high of twenty degrees with a low of sixteen. 412 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: Saturday's a high of twenty seven and sixteen degrees below. 413 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: Sunday high of twenty six, low of thirteen Monday. You 414 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: really should It's gonna be partly cloudy. So there's that 415 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: perk high of seventeen guys, a loo of seven. And 416 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,400 Speaker 1: this is the governor saying, well, you can eat outside. 417 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: We allowed you for outside dining. A space heater can't 418 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: keep up with the weather in Pickford of a high 419 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: of seventeen a love seven. That means you're shutting down 420 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: your business. And the government knows this. They knew this 421 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: when they made this ridiculous role in the winter. They're 422 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: not idiots, absolutely, and they want but they're creating the 423 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: situation where they want people dependent on what is the 424 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 1: what's the governor's next order going to be? And are 425 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: we going to be able to open our businesses. My 426 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: kids play hockey, and so she shut down arenas, which 427 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: means they can't have practices, they can't have games, and 428 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: so you as a parent, and of course she's shut 429 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: down schools. High schoolers can't go in person, and so 430 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: you as a parent are sitting here going, Okay, what's 431 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: her next order going to be? When are we going 432 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: to be able to have some return to normalcy? And 433 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 1: so she's creating the situation where she really you know, 434 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people are calling her the dictator of 435 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: Michigan because she's just acting arbitrarily. Her orders were ruled 436 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court, so she just changed 437 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: the department that's issuing the orders. And it's just it's 438 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: one thing after another with Gretchen Whitmer. And she says 439 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: that that restaurants are going to be able to return 440 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: to in person dining on January fifteenth, but of course 441 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: back in November she announced this three week quote unquote pause, 442 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 1: which she has since extended. And so I don't know 443 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: anybody who really trusts what she's saying and that you know, 444 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: she's going to be able to give us some amount 445 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 1: of freedom back. Let's talk about this relief. And again 446 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: I use Michigan as an example of what's happening nationwide. 447 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: When these guys, they have no clue you're you're living, 448 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 1: you know, paycheck to paycheck, right if you're working in 449 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: many of these business as small business owners of the 450 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: paycheck to paycheck, they pay their staff first and whatever's 451 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: leftovers kind of theirs. During these lockdowns, many of just 452 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: been dipping it further and further and further into the savings, 453 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: just trying to survive so they can get back to 454 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: a normal day of work. But but you look at 455 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: this business owner has been told hey, you can have 456 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: outside dining, which is worthless. After she was finally able 457 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: to apply for these these state loans, right the state grants, 458 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: they said they would contact her in January or forty 459 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: five days to see if you even qualify. So when 460 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: you apply and you need the money now, the reality is, 461 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 1: even if she does qualify for the grant, which was 462 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: up to fifteen thousand dollars, we have no idea if 463 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: she's going to get this money for months, correct, until 464 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: it actually hits her bank account. Yes, that's correct, And 465 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: that's the problem when you have bureaucrats involved in these 466 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: sorts of things. These businesses are dying right now. The 467 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association did a survey of their 468 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: members and they said, if this goes on another six months, 469 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: there could be as many as six thousand restaurants closing 470 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: in Michigan. And of course it's not just the owners 471 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: that are affected, it's the vendors, it's the suppliers, it's 472 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: the employees. This has a tremendous effect, and it just 473 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: is so frustrating to so many people because it's like 474 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: the bureacrats don't care. The governor doesn't care, whether it's 475 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: Whitmer or Cuomo or any other governors across the country. 476 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: It's like they just don't care. They prefer to be 477 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: in control, order you to wear a mask, order you 478 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: to not be able to eat at a restaurant, all 479 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 1: of these sorts of things. That's that's what they want 480 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: to focus on. My guess is that Kyle Olson, he's 481 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: a writer with Brightbart News. This article you can grab. 482 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: We've linked it on Facebook, Twitter, and parlor so you 483 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: can read it if you want to, just google it 484 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: real quick or go to brightbart dot com.

Let me get back 517 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: to another point here that is one that has to 518 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: be brought up, and Kyle you you mentioned this in 519 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: your article, and that is we have no idea when 520 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: this relief money goes out. If they're going to be 521 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: extending these stay at home orders and you know, okay, 522 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: you can eat outside. They want to shut down restaurants. 523 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,719 Speaker 1: They want these businesses to fail. We're seeing the numbers 524 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: that you just mentioned all of the country, and Michigan 525 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: is is not exactly a massive, heavily populated state, right, 526 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 1: It's beautiful and spread out. But you brought up a 527 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: number a moment ago, and I want to dive into this. 528 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: It is some statistics about how many restaurants would be closing, 529 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: and the Michigan Restaurant and Lodging Association said at least 530 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: five thousand, six hundred restaurant operators predict they will not 531 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: be in business in six months if these lockdowns continue. 532 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: Yet the governor clearly believes that these lockdowns are somehow working, 533 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: even though nationwide contact tration showing about one point five 534 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: percent transmission rate coming from actual restaurants, right, that's right. 535 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: And in Michigan specifically, restaurants have not been in the 536 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: top three for spreading the virus. So the logical question is, well, 537 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: then if restaurants are not in the top three, then 538 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: why is the governor going after them? And that's a 539 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: very good question. And today at Breitbart I'm writing about 540 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,719 Speaker 1: the Liquor Control Commission. There's only seventeen states that have 541 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: her control commission. California doesn't have one, New York doesn't 542 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: have one, Florida, Texas don't have one. But for whatever reason, 543 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 1: Michigan has a Liquor Control Commission. And a state senator 544 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: last week told the story about one of his constituents 545 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 1: who had this individual. He's a restaurant owner. This individual 546 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: came up and said he was lonely and he was 547 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: just looking for a meal, and so the restaurant owner 548 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: took pity on this person and made him a meal. 549 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: And then it turned out that the individual was an 550 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: inspector from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission, and because he 551 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: fed him a meal, he considered that in person dining, 552 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: he was violating the governor's order and he took his 553 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: liquor license away. That's the kind of punitive action that 554 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: the governor is doing in the state of Michigan. And 555 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: so this idea that she wants to hand out these 556 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: grants and so businesses can stay open and so people 557 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: can be him Floyd and they can provide for their 558 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: families is nonsense. She wants compliance, she wants control, and 559 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: if you aren't going to do that, then she's going 560 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: to punish you. It's not just power drunk. I said 561 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: this earlier, and I truly believe that this is about 562 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,359 Speaker 1: making the citizens weak so that they are strong. When 563 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 1: the citizens are strong, government is weak. When the citizens 564 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: are weak, the government is strong. When we are powerless, 565 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 1: they have all the power. Am I wrong? No, that's 566 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: absolutely right. And think back to twenty sixteen and twenty 567 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: seventeen when all we heard from the mainstream media and 568 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: the Democrats was that Donald Trump was going to be 569 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 1: a dictator, and he was going to be this fascist dictator. 570 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 1: And here comes the coronavirus. If there was ever a 571 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: time for him to be a dictator, it was in 572 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: the age of coronavirus. And yet he didn't do that. 573 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: But who did that? It was the Democrat governors like 574 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: Cuomo and Whitmer and all of these governors across the state, 575 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: across the country. It's fascinating that there are people like 576 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Ronda Santis and Florida and others who 577 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: Christy Nome is another one in South Dakota who have said, 578 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: we want to have freedom. We're not going to use 579 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: our power to restrict people's freedom in this age of coronavirus. 580 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: It's the age of coronavirus. It's it's let's just grab 581 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: power at all costs, no matter what. I want to 582 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about the spinning bills, because 583 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 1: it's not just happening like you mentioned in Michigan with 584 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: these rules. But you look at the actual numbers that 585 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: we're seeing right now. In this new budget. You got 586 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,359 Speaker 1: twenty six million for the Kennedy Center. That doesn't help 587 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: Americans right now. You've got a billion for the Smithsonian. 588 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 1: You got one hundred and fifty four million for the 589 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,840 Speaker 1: National Arts Gallery. You have the National Arts and Humanities 590 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: getting in one hundred and sixty seven million, the Woodrow 591 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: Wilson Center fourteen million. Foreign countries receiving aid one point 592 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: three billion to Egypt seven hundred million, to Sudan, four 593 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three thousand Ukraine half a billion to Israel, 594 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty million in Nepaul, Burma, hundred thirty 595 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 1: five million Kimbodia, eighty five point five million Pakistan, other 596 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: twenty five million in Asia are a one point four billion. 597 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 1: The American citizens are getting six hundred dollars of their 598 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 1: own money while all of these tax dollars that I 599 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,840 Speaker 1: just mentioned are actually going to these other countries and this, 600 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: and part of me says, this is what you guys get, 601 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: this is what you voted for with this Joe Biden. 602 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: But at the same time he's not even president yet, 603 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: and Republicans are doing this as well. How do they 604 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,439 Speaker 1: How can you possibly justify this type of spending going 605 00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 1: to other countries right now when clearly Americans need more 606 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,000 Speaker 1: than six hundred dollars of their own money back. Well, 607 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 1: that's a really good question, and of course you had 608 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi said, well, the six hundred dollars, that's significant, 609 00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,719 Speaker 1: But if you rewind back a couple of years to 610 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: the Trump tax cuts, she dismissed the thousand dollars tax 611 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: cuts as a crumbs, that's what she called it. But yeah, 612 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: I wrote about some of the various foreign aid that 613 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: is in this bill yesterday for Breitbart. We're giving ten 614 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:24,239 Speaker 1: million dollars to Pakistan for quote, gender programs, whatever that is. 615 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 1: We're giving fifteen million dollars to Pakistan for democracy programs. 616 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 1: We're giving fifteen million dollars to Sri Lanka for quote, 617 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: the refurbishing of a high endurance cutter, which is a 618 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: patrol boat. While we're paying for boats for Sri Lanka 619 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: is beyond me. And we're paying over five hundred and 620 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: five million dollars to belieze Costa Rica and several other 621 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: Central American countries to address key factors that contribute to 622 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 1: the migration of unaccompanied unaccompanied minors to the United States. 623 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,760 Speaker 1: It just seems to me, like, you know, this whole 624 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: narrative about America. First, I think we all believe it, 625 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: but if you look at this spending bill, you wonder 626 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: if it's actual reality, especially right now, how can we 627 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: afford this? And six hundred dollars is not significant when 628 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 1: you lose your job, it's not that that might be 629 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: a week's worth of pay. Using their own numbers from 630 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: the first shutdown. But then again, you do a five thousand, 631 00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: five hundred ninety three page bill. No one has time 632 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: to read it within the four hours you got to 633 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 1: have to vote on it. It's almost a thousand pages 634 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,399 Speaker 1: an hour. You would have to read to read this 635 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: thing before they voted on it. And this just shows 636 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: exactly what type of government you're getting from Nancy Pelosi. 637 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: This is her bill, this is what she decided to do. 638 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to what's coming your way. American citizens are put 639 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,960 Speaker 1: in last place. And this stimulus bill nine hundred plus billion. 640 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: It's again six hundred dollars times three hundred and twenty 641 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: eight million people. That comes out of my mass right 642 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: to one hundred ninety six billion dollars. Where did all 643 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: the money? Where'd all the rest of the money go? 644 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,919 Speaker 1: You can figure that out on your own. I really 645 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on Kyle today.
