You're 16 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 4: watching Real America's voice, headquarters of the Ultra Maga in 17 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 4: America First Movement. We're happy to be back with you 18 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 4: another Saturday morning. We're honored to be back with you 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 4: another Saturday morning. Today, I want to talk about conflict. 20 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 4: There is some wisdom you can only achieve through the 21 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 4: fiery crucible of conflict, some truth you can only come 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 4: to through a conflict. And that isn't a encouragement to 23 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: engage in war. But I mean more individual personal conflict, 24 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 4: and certainly as a nation, there's a reason why our 25 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 4: founding fathers set the country up, set the system of 26 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: government up in a way that produces an natural sort 27 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: of tension and conflict because there's only there's a there's 28 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 4: a certain wisdom that comes through only by way of conflict. 29 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 4: And we got conflict brewing. Now, we got conflict on 30 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 4: the horizon from within. And we talked about it. We 31 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 4: said it was going to probably occur. It was occurring 32 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: before the election. It's been been occurrent for many generations 33 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 4: in the you know, in in our political culture, on 34 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: both sides of the isle. And I got the great 35 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 4: Professor Penn here with me today in the studio. He's 36 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 4: going to join us in the second segment or step 37 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: in and host a little bit for the second segment hopefully. 38 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 4: But you know, whether it's Mike Johnson speaker, Mike Johnson 39 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 4: and in the debt ceiling, or it's uh this you know, 40 00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 4: this mass migration justification escape go on the visas and 41 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: the whole program about actually closing the border versus creating 42 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 4: a workaround to have the border remain open. These are conflicts. 43 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 4: These are conflicts that we're going to have to go through, 44 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 4: and we're going to go through it. And you know, 45 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:25,119 Speaker 4: the the issue is, really, uh, there's what sounds good 46 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 4: on paper, there's what there's what draws applause from the crowd, 47 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 4: and then there's what people are actually willing to do 48 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: and what needs to be done, all very separate things. 49 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 4: What needs to be done is usually the hardest thing 50 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 4: to do by far. What needs to be done is 51 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 4: usually the one thing we don't want to have to do. 52 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 4: And it would seem right now that the one thing 53 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: we we don't really want to have to do is 54 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 4: be America first. 55 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: Truly? What does it mean to be America first? Truly? 56 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: You know, is it to say that we're going to 57 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 4: look out for the American citizen first? Or is it 58 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 4: to actually do it? 59 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 3: Is it to. 60 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,119 Speaker 4: Actually uh, you know, figure out what what what can 61 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: we do? What can we do without can we do 62 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 4: without the workflow, the workforce supplementation of mass migration. I 63 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 4: would say we can. I would say we have to. 64 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 4: You know, there are things that are predicates to other things. 65 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: And I think this, you know, this visa situation, this 66 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 4: entire visa culture that we have in this entire free trade, 67 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 4: free market enterprise, sort of international globalization culture that we 68 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 4: have is the predicate for illegal immigration. And it's that's 69 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 4: not just a theory, you know, that's that's not a conspiracy. 70 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: That's what the Democrats say. The Democrats say, Hey, we 71 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: got to have more bigger workforce, we got to have 72 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: more employees. We need people to work these jobs. We 73 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 4: need people to to do the things that you know, 74 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 4: poor black citizens don't want to do work the jobs 75 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 4: a poor black and white and even I guess legal 76 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 4: Latino or Hispanic citizens don't want to do. That's the justification. 77 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 4: It's been the justification for a long time. And and today, 78 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 4: you know, I think it's very timely. I know you 79 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 4: guys have seen Professor Penn on the show before, but 80 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 4: I think it's very timely to have Professor Penn on 81 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: the show to talk a little bit about the situation 82 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 4: with trade and how the situation with trade actually works, 83 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 4: how the situation with trade actually goes down, how there's 84 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: all these hydras in our culture around trade and our 85 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: and our are thinking about trade. And Donald Trump's on 86 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 4: the brink of a very large trade decision. We gonna 87 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 4: be one of his first you know, real, real acts 88 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 4: here and his opening and the opening of his of 89 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: his next term, and you know, Professor Pan's gonna definitely 90 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 4: be able to highlight a lot of what's going on 91 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: in that area today. But the conflict is what we 92 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 4: have to be willing to go through, Yeph. I like 93 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,559 Speaker 4: Elon Musk, you know, said it before, stood in the breach, 94 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 4: the money it bought Twitter, you know, the whole thing. 95 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, I hear that my 96 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: my friend Laura lumer Is is being censored on X 97 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 4: and I just think to myself, here we go again, 98 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 4: Here we go again. And maybe that issue has already 99 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 4: been resolved by the day, I'm not sure, dealing with 100 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 4: some personal things, so it may have been resolved in 101 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 4: them in the last twenty four hours. But it shouldn't 102 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 4: even happen, you know, it shouldn't even happen. People should 103 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: be able to be criticized, obviously, you know, whether it's 104 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 4: Elon Musk, Donald Trump himself, myself, anybody. People should be 105 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 4: able to be criticized. And we have to ask some 106 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 4: thick skin about it. 107 00:06:59,760 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: You know. 108 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: We can't think our ideas are the only and the 109 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 4: best unless it's abundantly obvious unless there's any you know, 110 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 4: real concrete evidence we can point to to show that, 111 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 4: you know, the way that it's been done or the 112 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 4: way that some other people want to do it just 113 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 4: won't work. In this situation, we kind of have the opposite, 114 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: and Laura seems to be standing on the side as 115 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 4: many of us that the way we've been doing it 116 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 4: just doesn't work now in an Elon Musk's mind, you know, 117 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 4: and you got to remember he thinks about this from 118 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 4: a completely different sort of technological and futurist standpoint again, 119 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 4: by you know, the year twenty forty, he estimates that 120 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 4: there'll be more robots then there will be humans, and that, 121 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 4: first of all, should horrify anybody out there that that's 122 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 4: a scary notion in and of itself. But if you 123 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 4: were to look at our entire civilization, our culture of 124 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 4: our country here in America, from that standpoint, it would 125 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: make sense that you would think potentially we could you know, 126 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 4: play fast and loose with the debt ceiling, or that 127 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: we could continue to flood our labor pool with immigrants 128 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: and let's not say illegal immigrants, let's say you know, uh, 129 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 4: legal legal, illegal workers. If you want to call it that, 130 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 4: that is, that's a sign of bad things to come 131 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 4: if we start to track down that road. 132 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 3: And that's just my opinion. 133 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 4: The bad it's a bad day for you know, for 134 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: all of us if there become, if there are more 135 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 4: robots than humans. And some people are completely fine with it. 136 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 4: Some people think it's a natural revolution of uh, you know, 137 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: of our existence. We all, as the voters, as the 138 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 4: American people, as the constituents of this country and this nation, 139 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 4: we have to stand up and understand that issue and 140 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 4: and make a decision ourselves. 141 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 3: We have to speak up. Do you want there to 142 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: be more robots than humans? I don't know. 143 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 4: Maybe you think it's a good idea. Maybe the idea 144 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 4: suits you. You know, maybe the I robot scenario is 145 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 4: a good one. Everybody have a relatively reasonably priced robot 146 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 4: for their home, which I would doubt you guys can 147 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 4: barely afford the Twitter subscriptions, the X subscriptions. I mean, 148 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 4: I don't know what it's up to. Nineteen ninety nine 149 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 4: a month, nineteen dollars ninety nine cents a month, plus 150 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 4: whatever other apps and subscriptions you have, So I don't know. 151 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: I don't know if you could afford another thirty thousand dollars, 152 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 4: you know, thirty thousand dollars robot. I'm sure they'll make 153 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 4: them at such a high clip there in China. The 154 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: mass production of robots in China would be so great. 155 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 4: They'll find a way to shrink the price for you 156 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 4: and lease it to you, and you'll have a robot 157 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 4: on a I don't know, two thousand dollars a month plan, 158 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 4: or maybe spread it out over twenty years. I don't 159 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 4: I don't really know what the plan is in that 160 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 4: futurist technocratic scenario, but I do know this. 161 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: I can say this with some certainty. 162 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 4: As the robots go online, the human beings will slowly 163 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 4: go offline, you know, because what will the necessity be, 164 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 4: What will be the need for you? What will be 165 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: the need for you when you have machines that don't eat, breathe, 166 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 4: or sleep, that can do any and everything? The only 167 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 4: thing then the safeguard, you know, part of what is safeguarded, 168 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: part of what is held off, which you could say 169 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 4: is held off the wickedness and evil of man's you know, 170 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 4: malice and sort of impulse for self destruction and genocide. 171 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 4: Part of what has held that off is you can't 172 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: kill everybody because you need some people. I mean, there 173 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 4: have been some real genocidal maniacs in our recent world history. 174 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 4: Hitler stylin. You know, there's a short list of heavy hitters. 175 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 4: But you know, part of the constraints on their their 176 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 4: their impulse to to kill is you need some people. 177 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 4: Imagine how the genocide will be when you don't need 178 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 4: some people, when strategically for military purposes or workforce purposes 179 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: or or or uh you know, procreation. Uh, you know, 180 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 4: imagine when you won't actually need people. What's gonna what's 181 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: gonna really hold us back? Big questions in front of 182 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: us right now. We've got a conflict brewing inside the 183 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: MAGA in America first Movement about visas and immigration as 184 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 4: well as the debt ceiling as always, and we're going 185 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: to talk about that and much more. Professor Penn's coming 186 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 4: up next and he's gonna talk a little bit about trade. 187 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 4: Stay tuned, we'll be back in a moment. 188 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: Morning two. David Penn, also known as Professor Penn, coming 189 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: in with the special twelve minute segment on trade. You know, 190 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: this this fight that's broken out that Royce was referring 191 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: to in the first segment about the H one B visa, 192 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: This is really about trade. It's about the border. We've 193 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: had this theme here in the Belly of the Beast, here, 194 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: communism in the Midwest. Here we are in Minnesota coming 195 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: to you this morning, and we've had this theme about 196 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: borders being more than align that demarcates the nation. It's 197 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: a limit on man's ambition. That's a spiritual concept that 198 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: gets lost, and it's been lost since nineteen forty six, 199 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: when we the people, we the United States of America, 200 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 1: emerged victorious as part of the United Names that had 201 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 1: defeated Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in the seminole battle 202 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: of the world history World War two, and now we 203 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: find ourselves in World War three and trade. The trade 204 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: architecture was established after World War Two to prevent World 205 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: War Three. The whole purpose of the trading architecture that 206 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: we the people, it was us, our elected representatives, that 207 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: trading architecture that was set up in nineteen forty six 208 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: was to prevent another holocaust, another world war where eighty 209 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: eight million people died in five years. Seems like a 210 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: pretty reasonable goal. The story that I was told when 211 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: I was a young man first engaging in international trade 212 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: because I am a reformed globalist. Yes, I have been 213 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: engaged international trade since nineteen eighty six. And I remember 214 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: when I started. The people that brought me into it, 215 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 1: my mentors, so to speak, taught me that when goods 216 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: and services stopped crossing borders, armies start. So that seems 217 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: like a very reasonable pursuit as a young man for 218 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: me to engage in international trade. And I've been all 219 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: over the world. I've been in my passport looks like 220 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: a diplomatic I've been to China over one hundred times. 221 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: I grew up in this international trade architecture, this open 222 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: border architecture, and let's be very clear about it, and 223 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: we're starting to get clear about it. It's about more 224 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: than just goods. It's immigration, it's h one B, it's technology, 225 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: it's universities, it's students coming here to learn in our 226 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: universities and then go home. All of this is part 227 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: of creating a global community, a global community. And I 228 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 1: am not going to say that it necessarily started out 229 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: with ill intent. Let me actually say, since I was 230 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: there when it started, because I go back aways, I 231 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: think there was a lot of good intent that was 232 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: in the institutions that were set up to create a 233 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: peaceful world. We didn't know that we were going to 234 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: end up on the brink of a nuclear war in 235 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: spite of our best efforts to create this global community. 236 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: It's a failed ideological experiment. And why do we know 237 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: it failed? Well, the first thing that told me it 238 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: was failing was watching the carnage amongst my fellow citizens 239 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: who were suffering because of the very kind of business 240 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: that I was operating. Yes, I am one of the 241 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: few business people that actually looked at the suffering and said, 242 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't right. I think I need to 243 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: stop this what I'm doing because it's creating suffering in 244 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: my fellow citizens. It makes me unusual. I don't think 245 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: there are that many business people that came to that conclusion, 246 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: but I did. The first sign was the suffering, the 247 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: job lost, the degradation of our industrial Upper Midwest. Like 248 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: here in Minnesota. We used to have a fantastic Ford 249 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: Motor Company manufacturing plant right here in Saint Paul. It 250 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: was closed. It was not competitive with the products that 251 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: could be built in Mexico or imported from other countries. 252 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't competitive, and why wasn't it competitive. Well, when 253 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: that trading architecture was established in nineteen forty six, the 254 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: world lay in ruins our country. We the people enjoyed 255 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: a trade surplus from nineteen forty six to nineteen seventy six, 256 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: thirty years of more income than outgo, so we got 257 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 1: a little hypnotized by our own creation. The thing worked 258 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 1: for we the people for a very long time. But 259 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: then in the seventies and the eighties, as Japan recovered 260 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: and Germany recovered, and then China entered, and Korea entered 261 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: and all these other countries guide in on it, we 262 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: had so much disruption of our local manufacturing industries, so 263 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 1: much job loss. We could see it. We the people 264 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: could see increasing food insecurity, increasing poverty, the cost of 265 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: the low price associated with that imported product was leading 266 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,719 Speaker 1: to pain, in suffering and disease and death. And all 267 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: we had to do was open our eyes and look 268 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: at it. And some of us did, and we phoned 269 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: a champion in Donald Trump, who came and said, our 270 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: leaders were stupid. They sold us out. And in fact, 271 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 1: the trade laws have sold us out. But there are 272 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 1: trade laws. There are mechanisms to protect our citizens in 273 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: our industry. And one of the most interesting, most poignant 274 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: moments of Donald Trump's new presidency will be on February fifth, 275 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: when he announces the tax rate on low cost tires 276 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: manufactured in Thailand that come into the United States. I 277 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: am in the tire business. You know that if you 278 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,239 Speaker 1: follow me. We got tire get dot com. That's our 279 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: tire business. I've been in the tire business since seventy nine. 280 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: I know that half fifty percent of the tires that 281 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: we the people consume here in the United States are imported. 282 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: We have exported so much of our manufacturing base that 283 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: fifty percent one in two tires that you and I 284 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: us on our vehicles must be imported. We don't have 285 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: the domestic manufacturing capacity anymore to produce this critical industrial component. 286 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: And on February fifth, President Trump is going to announce 287 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: a tax rate on tires manufacturing in Thailand. Now here's 288 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: the question. It's about you and me. What do we want? 289 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: That's what Royce was saying in the first segment. Hey, 290 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: what do you want? Do you want to have a 291 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: robot as a slave? Does that turn you on? Because 292 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: if it does it's coming. What if you don't want 293 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 1: a robot as a slave. Maybe you don't want that. 294 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: Hey that's a choice. That's your free will choice. And 295 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: very similarly, we the people are addicted, addicted to the 296 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: low prices of imported goods. We're addicted to it. Are 297 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: we willing to pay a little more so that we 298 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: can start to bring the jobs back into our country? 299 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,239 Speaker 1: The left certainly feels where not willing to do so. 300 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: All I read on X is we're going to have 301 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: inflation because of President Trump's presumed and threatened tariffs. Well 302 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: are we that's fortune telling? We can't The best economist 303 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: in this country, the best PhD, when he's telling us 304 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: what the future is going to be, he's no more 305 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: than a fortune teller. These systems are so complex, These 306 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: economic systems are so complex that to predict what the 307 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: price is going to be a year from now we're 308 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: two years from now. Well, Hey, that's politics. I'm going 309 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: to scare you so I can control you. That's the 310 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: politics of our time. What is the politics that we're 311 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: seeking here at Free People Radio, Well, we're seeking here 312 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: in the rav community. We're seeking an honest politics. We're 313 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: seeking a politics of the people. We're seeking a politics 314 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: that is dedicated to the well being of every American citizen, 315 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,400 Speaker 1: and we the people have to decide what's important to us. 316 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: Is it important to us that our fellow citizens have jobs, 317 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 1: have the dignity of work, have the dignity of self governance, 318 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: breaking the growing dependency that we have on a leviathan government. 319 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: Isn't that the point of why we voted for President 320 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: Trump was to break that leviathan. Aren't we excited about 321 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: the prospect of shrinking government, lessing than its burden upon us, 322 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: lessing in its control upon us. Isn't that what motivates 323 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: us in the mega movement to make America grade a 324 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: grid and to shrink the government that oppresses us. And 325 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: if we're to do that, if we're going to follow 326 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: through and do that, what's my responsibility? What do I 327 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: have to do? What sacrifices am I willing to make 328 00:21:55,040 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: to restore health and well being to my fellow citizens? Choice? 329 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: And here's the choice. On February fifth that President Trump 330 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: will have to determine he's going to raise the tax 331 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: on car tires. Come out of Thailand. Now most of 332 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: us buy car tires about once every four years. If 333 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: we own a vehicle, if the price goes up twenty 334 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: or twenty five bucks a tire on something you buy 335 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: once every four years, does that bring your world to 336 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: an end. Let's say you're tuning in this morning and 337 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: you're coming in, you're watching from the left. Would you 338 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: like to see jobs come back to this country for 339 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: our fellow citizens so our tax base can be expanded 340 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: so that we can work our way out of this debt. 341 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 1: Are you willing on the left to make some changes 342 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: in how you think about our country so that we 343 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: focus on the well being of every citizen, the economic independence, 344 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: the self sufficiency, the self governance that's promised to us 345 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: in our constitution. Our constitution promises a republican form of 346 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 1: government to every state and to every citizen. Well, here's 347 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: the place to start. Let's stop thinking like Marxists. All 348 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: we think about is the price. Let's think about values. 349 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: What do we value as the American people? Do we 350 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: value our fellow citizens? Are we willing to love them 351 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: as we wish to be loved. Are we willing to 352 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: change our thinking about price so that we can bring 353 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: back the jobs. Are we willing to think about education 354 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: so we can increase the knowledge base of our citizens. 355 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: Are we willing to be an independent republic? That is 356 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: the question, and that question will be asked and answered 357 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: policy by policy starting on February fifth, when President Trump 358 00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: rules on the price attires in these great Welcome back 359 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: to the Royce White Show here on RAV Good morning 360 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: to you. This is Professor Penn filling in for in 361 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: segment three for Royce. Again, Royce is not well today. 362 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: The trooper, that is, he came up. He called me 363 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: at the last minute. He said, hey, man, I'm not 364 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: feeling too good. You mind coming up to the studio 365 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: and hanging I had no idea I was going to 366 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: be with you this morning, but it's my thrill, my 367 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: pleasure to be here. We're talking about trade. We're talking 368 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: about trade. We know trade is a critical element of 369 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: this globalist scheme that we're living through. We're going to 370 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: have international trade. Human beings have traded since Timing Memoriam. 371 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: We are trading country. We are one of the few 372 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: countries in the world that have two oceans as borders. 373 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 1: So we are an outward looking country with a great 374 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: history of being involved on the international scene. I don't 375 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: say there's something per se wrong with being involved in 376 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: the international scene. It's the intent that I have an 377 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: issue with, and the intent that I've seen. It's like 378 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: pulling off the oh, it's like taking off rose colored glasses. 379 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,239 Speaker 1: You know. Being born in the fifties and growing up 380 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: in the sixties, right in the post war period, in 381 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: the period that some of the pundits called the first Turning, 382 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 1: our country was so strong. We had such a phenomenal 383 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: sense of our well being, of our goodness. Potentials were limitless. 384 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: Everyone worked, everyone had a job, everyone was ambitious. We 385 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: really had pretty much made the same deal with our 386 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: government that the Chinese people have made with their government. Hey, 387 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: we really don't care what you do as long as 388 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: you let us get rich. That was the slippery slope 389 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: we've been sliding down since the nineteen sixties. It intensified 390 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: when President Nixon. President Nixon took the dollar off the 391 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: gold standard in nineteen seventy two. He financialized our economy 392 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: and turned its future over to the money barons of 393 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: Wall Street. I'm not saying President Nixon was all bad. 394 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 1: There was a lot of good that came with President Nixon. 395 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: That's why they ran him out of Washington. But that 396 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: one move, that one move financializing the dollar, the deal 397 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: that was made to make the dollar, the petro dollar, 398 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: the international reserve currency. There was a deal in that 399 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: that we the people didn't understand because it was done 400 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: behind a closed door. And here was the deal. The 401 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 1: United States, the victor in World War two, the winner, 402 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: the leader of the United Nations. That's what they called 403 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: the countries that banded together to defeat the Nazis and 404 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: the Japanese. It was the United Nations, the leader of 405 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: the United Nations. We're the leader. We agreed, or we 406 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: imposed upon the world the dollar as the reserve currency. 407 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: That means most international transactions take place in dollars. The 408 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: price of that, because that's a great benefit, right, that 409 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: means we the people. Let's not really we the people, 410 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: but some of our most wealthy oligarchs. They get a 411 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: small little piece of business on everybody's action. Because the 412 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: dollar is the medium of exchange. You know, there's some 413 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: carrying charges, some commissions that are involved with using our paper. 414 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 1: But we had to pay a price for that, and 415 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: we the people didn't know what the price was. The 416 00:27:55,200 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: price was we became the empire, and that was the 417 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: Dollar Empire, and we have an empire. Hey, you got 418 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: a police. Its borders and the borders were no longer 419 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: the borders of the United States of America. The borders 420 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: were the world. So any country that participated nicely in 421 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: the Dollar regime was an ally in. Any country that 422 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: had a different opinion was a competitor, a strategic competitor, 423 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: or perhaps an enemy. And our country progressively, and I 424 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:39,959 Speaker 1: used that word very specifically, it progressively became more and 425 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: more financialized and militarized from nineteen forty six till twenty 426 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: twenty four. And now all these issues are tied together, 427 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: and the problem we face is so big it's like, wow, 428 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: how are we ever going to deal with this? We 429 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: got our military in one hundred seventy two countries. There's 430 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: a lot of conflict that goes from the Ukraine down 431 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 1: to the Gaza, where the Eastern Alliance and the Western 432 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: Alliance are squared off the combatants, right, NATO plus Israel 433 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: is the Western Alliance, and the Eastern Alliance is China 434 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: and Russia and North Korea and Iran and Syria and 435 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: Syria fell. Take one away from the bad guys and 436 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: give us the good guys a victory. But are we 437 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: the good guys? That is the question. 438 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 3: Now. 439 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm not here to apologize or be pro any of 440 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 1: these authoritarian regimes. What I'm pro is republicanism. Republicanism as 441 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: it was described as a political philosophy and then operationalized 442 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: in our founding documents and our Constitution. Are we republicans? 443 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: Am myself governing? That is the promise of America. It's 444 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,959 Speaker 1: right there in the Declaration of Independence. I have certain 445 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: unalienable rights that are granted to me by a creator. 446 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: And those ringing words, those soaring words, are what animate 447 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: this country. But here's what we found out. Some of us, 448 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: more of us every day, maybe half of us, I 449 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, it's a big number. People are 450 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: waking up. And what are they waking up to. They're 451 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: waking up to the reality that when you have an empire, 452 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: a military empire, a financialized empire that's global, you lose 453 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: your country, you lose your citizenship, and you lose your 454 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: self governance because empire and self governance do not work together. 455 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: They just don't. And we've been watching our self governance. 456 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: Our rights eroded, our freedoms eroded, our independence eroded our self, 457 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: governance eroded for the last thirty years, at least, at 458 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: least since about two thousand. In Bush, we've been pilot 459 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: on all this debt. We've been engaging in this forever war, 460 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: and we've had this open border, and the problems are 461 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: mounting and mounting and mounting. Invoi La, the people rose 462 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:28,239 Speaker 1: up and said we reject globalism. Now, I don't know 463 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 1: how many people who voted for President Trump thought about 464 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: it in that specific way, that it was globalism or nationalism. 465 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: But let's get the ideological framework set. It's not that 466 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 1: globalism or internationalism is necessarily bad per se. It's that 467 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: the intent of it, the formation of it, and the 468 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: institutions that operationalize it are utterly corrupt. And we see 469 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,959 Speaker 1: that corruption everywhere. We see it in the budget battle. 470 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: We just watched it again. All these issues are the 471 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: same but a little different. They're all the same but 472 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: a little different. Look at the corruption in this last 473 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: budget battle. There was an original bill, fifteen hundred pages. 474 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: The outcry was tremendous. It was a pork barrel. It 475 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: was business as usual, as if nobody was watching the store. 476 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they went through you know, these people are 477 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: so divorced from their own reality that they're going to 478 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: try to push that through in the midst of the 479 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 1: Trump Revolution. Crazy these people are. And then we had 480 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: another bill that had a debt ceiling increase. We had 481 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: a big fight over that. There's a lot of ways 482 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: to talk about it. We don't have time in this 483 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: segment to delve into it. And then we had a 484 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: bill continuing resolution, which Toddy Ever promised me as my 485 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: congressman here in CD six Minnesota House majority, we we 486 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 1: never do continuing resolutions again, that we would go back 487 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: to a normal budgetary process. But that's not what happened. 488 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: We're doing the same thing we've always done. We kicked 489 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: the can down the road. A six point two trillion 490 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: dollar expenditure with a two trillion dollar baked in structural deficit. 491 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: It's all the same, but a little bit different. It's crazy. 492 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 1: Our country is submerged in debt. I want equity. Our 493 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: country doesn't have a border. I want to have a 494 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: border that's both spiritual and physical because I want to 495 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: have a country and I want to be well. I 496 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: want to end the war because what's the war? Who 497 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: am I fighting for? Because I'm going to tell you 498 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: what I think it is. It's this trading architecture, and 499 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: what's the trade about. It's not about these hard goods. 500 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: It's about those dollars. It's about a small number of 501 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: people that are in our country that get a little 502 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:02,320 Speaker 1: piece of the action on everything, and they become so 503 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: phenomenally wealthy from this position of operating this worldwide dollar 504 00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: empire that they no longer have to care about the 505 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: constituents that elect the representatives, or the citizens that compose 506 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: this country. Their lack of care is very evident. All 507 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: I have to do is drive downtown Minneapolis and I 508 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: see the lack of care everywhere. We got hundreds of 509 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 1: billions of dollars for the Ukraine, but we don't have 510 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: money for the citizens of Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is what 511 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: President Trump is elected to change. And how are we 512 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: going to see that happen by being involved ourselves. I 513 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: am a proponent of self governance. Please, in whatever way 514 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: you can get involved in your local politics. Hold your 515 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: local elected representatives accountable. They must be accountable, and how 516 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,880 Speaker 1: do you hold them accountable? Become a delegate to your 517 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: local convention, determine who gets endorsed to run with your 518 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 1: party's endorsement. You and me, we are the power players 519 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: in this society. If we pick up the gauntlet, take 520 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: the responsibility of the self governance. That is the whole 521 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: point of the project called the United States of America. 522 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: We are the sovereigns of our own lives. We are 523 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: the kings and queens of. 524 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 4: Our own world. 525 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: Our rights are protected. And how will that continue? Because 526 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: you and I get off the couch and get in 527 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,280 Speaker 1: the game, Get off the bench, and let's start to play. 528 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. We'll see you again right after 529 00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 1: this commercial break. Welcome back. This is your guest host 530 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: David Penn, filling in for Royce White on The Royce 531 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: White Show this morning here on RAV. I did not 532 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: expect to be here with you this morning, although I'm 533 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: very happy to do so. Got a phone call from 534 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: Royce a half hour before showtime. He said, Man, I'm 535 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 1: not feeling too good. You think you come up to 536 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: the studio and just hang. I've never had a request 537 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,360 Speaker 1: like this. I said, sure, I'm gonna do it. I 538 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: got up here. Oh, this young man's not feeling well today. 539 00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: So I found out tag team. I'm in the box. 540 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,439 Speaker 1: That's cool. I wasn't dressed for it. I wasn't ready 541 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 1: for it. But here at Free People Radio, here on RAV, 542 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: here in the Mega movement, we are always ready to 543 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: play because where we find ourselves, where I am today, 544 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 1: is on the verge of a world nuclear war. Hey, 545 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: you got to be frosty under those kinds of circumstances. 546 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: Those of us that have some training know, you know, 547 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: there's times to relax and there's times to pay attention. 548 00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm paying attention. We're just a couple of weeks away 549 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 1: from President Trump taking the chair. Change is coming. This 550 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,200 Speaker 1: is the biggest change, in my opinion, to come to 551 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:20,800 Speaker 1: our country since the election of President Lincoln in eighteen 552 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 1: sixty one. What changed in eighteen sixty one, Well, President 553 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: Lincoln was elected to end the British business model of slavery, drugs, 554 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: and piracy, which had infected our country since its very beginning. 555 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: And it morphed. You know, we had the Civil War 556 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 1: and it's more often we got the Federal Reserve. We 557 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: had the endless war since World War One till today, 558 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: and we the people have woken up and we've said hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, 559 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 1: this is not working for me. It's only working for 560 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,840 Speaker 1: a small group of people. I mean there are people 561 00:37:55,120 --> 00:38:00,240 Speaker 1: that it's working for, right financially for power. Yeah, there's 562 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: a group of people that are getting over on this deal. 563 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: But how are most of the people Motivated's with the 564 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: cultural wedge issues. Hey, let's get it. We know this yet, 565 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 1: I know you know it. Let's get everybody fighting about everything, 566 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: because then we can rob and pillage and steal and 567 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,240 Speaker 1: if we don't see it so clearly in our own country, 568 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,319 Speaker 1: because you know, I drove to the studio today. I 569 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 1: mean it was safe. The highways worked, the car work, 570 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: the gas stations were open. It was all good. But 571 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: if you really want to see what kind of chaos 572 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: they're sewing for us here in our beloved republic, just 573 00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: go over and look at Syria, a failed state and 574 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 1: who failed it. The Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama 575 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, they're on record 576 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: of starting this civil war. In fact, you can go 577 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,400 Speaker 1: back on YouTube and see former NATO Commander General Wesley 578 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:04,839 Speaker 1: Clark talking about seven countries that the neo cons that 579 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: wrote in with George w decided to depose to and 580 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: regime change in two thousand and three. They've been working 581 00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:17,560 Speaker 1: on one plan since two thousand and three. It doesn't 582 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: matter if it's Republicans, it doesn't matter if it's Democrats, 583 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. If it's a recession, it doesn't matter 584 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 1: if it's times of plenty. There's a policy that's going on, 585 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: a globalist policy that is beyond the reach of we 586 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: the people. Yes, it's beyond our reach because it's in 587 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 1: what we call the deep state. The policy just keeps 588 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,080 Speaker 1: rolling on and rolling on. But that empire policy is 589 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:49,840 Speaker 1: making me poor. It's making my military aged children subject 590 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: to being called up to fight in a foreign war. 591 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,280 Speaker 1: And what is the benefit to me? What's the benefit 592 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: to you wherever you're sitting, if you're sitting in Kentucky, 593 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: or if you're sitting in Florida, or let's say you're Sydney, Minnesota. 594 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: Where you can come find me at Free People Radio 595 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: so we can form a political action community. The question 596 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: is why are we all here? Is it's not benefiting us? 597 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: And if we're veterans and we served, how hard it 598 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: is to sort through and realize in some extent, to 599 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 1: some extent we you know, the veterans were used used 600 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: as a prop in somebody else's dollar empire game. And 601 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 1: the problems are so big and so multifaceted. How are 602 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: we going to change this? How are we going to 603 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 1: change this? How am I an individual, sovereign citizen of 604 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: a republic. How do I develop the power to participate 605 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: in changing something that I think is not right? Well? 606 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: I think the first step is we got to work 607 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: on the ideological framework, so we all agree to agree 608 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: what we're dealing with here. And I laid that down 609 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,560 Speaker 1: in the last segment. It's nationalism and globalism. We're either 610 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 1: going to have a global government and a global economy, 611 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: or we're going to have an American government in an 612 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: American economy. Let's just start there. Now those are absoluteses. 613 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: We're going to still trade with the world, We're still 614 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,120 Speaker 1: going to be involved with the world. This is not 615 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: an either or black or white issue. It's one of intent. 616 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 1: What is the intention of our policy, What is the 617 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: intention of our economy? What is the intention of the legislation? 618 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: And I'm going to say, if we want to make 619 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 1: it very simple from Professor Penn's perspective, let every bill, 620 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,000 Speaker 1: every piece of legislation be concerned with one thing, and 621 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: one thing, only one thing, the health and well being 622 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 1: of American citizens. Let's focus everything on that. Don't tell me, 623 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer, that my health is somehow improved, my will 624 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: be is somehow enhanced because we're sending another one hundred 625 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:08,440 Speaker 1: billion dollars to the Ukrainians. I don't see the connection. 626 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: And if you don't see the connection and I don't 627 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: see the connection, there's no connection. We're not buying what 628 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: these people are selling. And of course, because of the 629 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: great efforts of commentators like Royce White, great networks like 630 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: rav where we now are able to come together and 631 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 1: deconstruct this narrative that we were fed like mother's milk. 632 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 1: I've been on it since the fifties. Democracy is the 633 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: greatest form of governance in the history of the world. No. No, 634 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 1: Republicanism is a great political philosophy. I'm not even going 635 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,839 Speaker 1: to say it's the greatest because my name is Paul, 636 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 1: and what you all do is between you all. I'm 637 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: just interested in what we do here in the Republic 638 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. That republic grants me 639 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: those rights that make me sovereign. I like that. Do 640 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,000 Speaker 1: you like being the king or queen of your own life. 641 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just asking do you like it? Because 642 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,439 Speaker 1: you know there are people that don't like it. It's 643 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 1: kind of messy. You know, you've got an opinion, you 644 00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 1: got to vote. They don't like that. That creates a 645 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 1: lot of I don't know, a lot of complexity. The 646 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 1: people that want to rule, the totalitarians, they're not interested 647 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,920 Speaker 1: in my opinion. They just want me to consume so 648 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,439 Speaker 1: I can contribute to the revenue stream. And what we're 649 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,839 Speaker 1: doing is we're standing up and we're saying, hey, we 650 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: vote with our money every day. We can get involved 651 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,799 Speaker 1: in politics. We can join our party. We can talk 652 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: to our friends, our neighbors, are co workers, our children. 653 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,759 Speaker 1: We can spread the philosophy of republicanism. And if we 654 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: don't know that there's an actual political philosophy called republicanism. 655 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: You can always find me on YouTube, the Professor Penn podcast, 656 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: or follow me on acts. I'd like you to join 657 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 1: our community because what we're about is creating the ideological 658 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: framework that gives us the strength the community to just 659 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: deconstruct their lives. We know they're lying to us, we 660 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 1: know it. Now, what are we going to do about it? Well? 661 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 1: I was talking about in segment two that President Trump 662 00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:25,920 Speaker 1: is going to make this ruling about the price of tires, 663 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: and there's going to be this huge outcry. You're going 664 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 1: to see it. You'd be opening up your newspaper and 665 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: there's going to be liberal economists saying, oh, this is terrible. 666 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: Tariffs are terrible. We don't know what the outcome of 667 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:45,560 Speaker 1: all of President Trump's economic policies will be. If the 668 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 1: price of energy comes down, it's going to offset any 669 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 1: kind of increase in the price of hard goods. What 670 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: I cares about how much money is in my pocket 671 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,640 Speaker 1: if we cut the size of government. And let me 672 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: just end with this, because it's all the same thing 673 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: but a little different. If President Trump really wanted to 674 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:09,280 Speaker 1: get creative, let's just talk about the Department of Commerce, 675 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,640 Speaker 1: or as I like to call it, the Department of 676 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: Anti Commerce, because that's what it does. It restricts commerce, 677 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: and it helps some people, it hurts other people, and 678 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 1: it's not fair. It's not meant to be fair. Let 679 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,839 Speaker 1: me tell you how unfair it is. You don't even 680 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,560 Speaker 1: know if you're in that merry go round, what you're 681 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 1: paying for, what you're important. The whole thing is a 682 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:37,960 Speaker 1: rigged system. It's rigged to drive the small businessman out 683 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: and aggregate all the trade to the largest companies so 684 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:46,319 Speaker 1: they can control it. It's a control mechanism, and it 685 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:50,200 Speaker 1: picks winners and losers. Like everything else government does. Government 686 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: takes money from this group and gives it to that group. Now, 687 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 1: President Trump actually could reduce the size of the Department 688 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:04,680 Speaker 1: of Commerce, probably by nine tenths simply by imposing border 689 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 1: taxes and eliminating all of the jobs, putting all those 690 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 1: attorneys on the street, all those economists on the streets 691 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 1: that sit and monitor all the different products that the 692 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: Department of Commerce tracks to ensure that trade is fair. 693 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: As if trade is fair or anything's fair. When we 694 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: start talking about fair, we're chasing a pipe dream. It's 695 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,440 Speaker 1: not about fair. It's about what works for the health 696 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 1: and well being of every citizen. Let's start there. So, 697 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,000 Speaker 1: if President Trump, if you're hearing this, if you would 698 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: like to reduce the cost of government, take trade policy 699 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: out of the hands of the bureaucrats, that technocrats that 700 00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:54,800 Speaker 1: administer it, not impartially, they're not impartial. They're human beings, 701 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 1: after all. Take it out of their hands, and you sir, 702 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 1: you are president, pose the border tax, which eliminates the 703 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 1: need for the Department of Anti Commerce. Wouldn't that be cool? So, 704 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 1: if you're hearing me out there and you're going to 705 00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,960 Speaker 1: be in the new administration, let's work together to restore 706 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: free markets. Free markets, not trade liberalized markets. Let's get 707 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 1: all the brainwashing out of our head. Let's bring the 708 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 1: business back to the United States. Let's all go back 709 00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 1: to work, and let's create money through productivity, through creativity, 710 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: throughout working our competitors. Let's stop financializing the dollar so 711 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 1: that the benefits of all of our output goes into 712 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,480 Speaker 1: the hands of very few oligarchs that can control us 713 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 1: through our elected representatives. And let's take them back to 714 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: by getting involved in politics. Thank you very much for 715 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: joining the Great
