Welcome to Buck Brief everybody. 4 00:00:22,057 --> 00:00:26,737 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the young boy who is defamed as 5 00:00:27,057 --> 00:00:31,217 Speaker 1: racist for wearing team colors for the Kansas City Chiefs 6 00:00:31,497 --> 00:00:34,577 Speaker 1: and what his family's doing about it now. Also, the 7 00:00:34,977 --> 00:00:39,417 Speaker 1: economy is better than the peasants think, according to the 8 00:00:40,537 --> 00:00:43,577 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and all of them. 9 00:00:43,617 --> 00:00:47,817 Speaker 1: I'll explain how this is going, and then we have 10 00:00:48,497 --> 00:00:52,377 Speaker 1: the collapse. They're calling it a collapse. I call it 11 00:00:52,457 --> 00:00:55,137 Speaker 1: the only smart thing you could possibly do. Of the 12 00:00:55,297 --> 00:00:58,417 Speaker 1: bipartisan border bill. And what happens now and what we've 13 00:00:58,537 --> 00:01:00,817 Speaker 1: learned from all of this. But you know, usually I 14 00:01:00,817 --> 00:01:05,577 Speaker 1: don't start with anything that is a sports related story because, look, 15 00:01:05,617 --> 00:01:08,697 Speaker 1: I'll just tell you I think that this country has 16 00:01:08,737 --> 00:01:11,297 Speaker 1: people who are too fixated on sports. I've said this 17 00:01:11,337 --> 00:01:13,897 Speaker 1: on radio, I will say this now. I think that 18 00:01:14,017 --> 00:01:17,577 Speaker 1: sports are like video games or movies. It's fine, it's 19 00:01:18,657 --> 00:01:24,057 Speaker 1: nice relaxation and kind of escapism, but it's not important. 20 00:01:24,497 --> 00:01:26,377 Speaker 1: That's the part of it. That it doesn't matter if 21 00:01:26,377 --> 00:01:28,457 Speaker 1: your team wins the big game or not. Oh, I 22 00:01:28,577 --> 00:01:31,177 Speaker 1: know people are gonna get so upset at me. You're 23 00:01:31,177 --> 00:01:33,137 Speaker 1: not on the team. Well maybe some of you listening 24 00:01:33,137 --> 00:01:35,337 Speaker 1: to this are, because we have some people that play 25 00:01:35,377 --> 00:01:38,937 Speaker 1: professional sports who listen to the radio show. But generally speaking, 26 00:01:38,937 --> 00:01:41,377 Speaker 1: you're not on the team, and it's just meant for entertainment. 27 00:01:41,377 --> 00:01:43,457 Speaker 1: And if it's something that entertains you, great, you know, 28 00:01:43,497 --> 00:01:45,297 Speaker 1: the same way that if somebody wanted to sit around 29 00:01:45,297 --> 00:01:48,977 Speaker 1: and listen to classical music CDs or read Agatha Christie 30 00:01:49,017 --> 00:01:51,777 Speaker 1: novels or whatever, I'd say, great, you know, that's fine. 31 00:01:52,257 --> 00:01:54,737 Speaker 1: But when I walk into the gym, which I haven't 32 00:01:54,737 --> 00:01:57,577 Speaker 1: done enough lately, it's why feel and look somewhat like 33 00:01:57,577 --> 00:02:00,977 Speaker 1: the stay Puff marshmallow man over here. But I'm writing 34 00:02:01,017 --> 00:02:03,137 Speaker 1: a book. That's my excuse. I'm writing the book and 35 00:02:03,177 --> 00:02:05,497 Speaker 1: so I don't have time. But when I go into 36 00:02:05,497 --> 00:02:07,417 Speaker 1: the gym and I see all these it's like ten 37 00:02:07,457 --> 00:02:09,897 Speaker 1: am on a Tuesday, and all these TVs are just 38 00:02:10,057 --> 00:02:14,257 Speaker 1: different channels of people talking about sports, like this is 39 00:02:14,257 --> 00:02:16,497 Speaker 1: the dumbest thing I've ever seen, what a giant waste 40 00:02:16,537 --> 00:02:19,097 Speaker 1: of time. And people say, oh, well, you talk about 41 00:02:19,097 --> 00:02:21,777 Speaker 1: politics all then I talk about life all day, talk 42 00:02:21,777 --> 00:02:24,057 Speaker 1: about what's happening in the world, talk about things that 43 00:02:24,137 --> 00:02:28,497 Speaker 1: matter to people's day to day lives and ideas that 44 00:02:28,977 --> 00:02:32,177 Speaker 1: if we lose in the battlefield of ideas, well, if 45 00:02:32,177 --> 00:02:35,217 Speaker 1: we lose in general on these issues, really bad things 46 00:02:35,217 --> 00:02:37,337 Speaker 1: can happen to all of us. Whether we're talking about 47 00:02:37,377 --> 00:02:40,137 Speaker 1: COVID or the border or national security stuff in Ukraine 48 00:02:40,257 --> 00:02:43,857 Speaker 1: and fighting the jihattists, and all these things matter. I mean, 49 00:02:43,857 --> 00:02:46,217 Speaker 1: you can argue about how much of an impact any 50 00:02:46,217 --> 00:02:48,057 Speaker 1: one of us can have on it, but at least 51 00:02:48,097 --> 00:02:51,217 Speaker 1: they're important. I don't find the game the big game. 52 00:02:51,377 --> 00:02:53,457 Speaker 1: I know, we're oh, we're here for the super Bowl soon. 53 00:02:54,097 --> 00:02:55,857 Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fun, but it's like going to watch 54 00:02:55,897 --> 00:02:57,217 Speaker 1: a movie. If you view it like a movie, al Right, 55 00:02:57,257 --> 00:02:58,937 Speaker 1: I saw it, fine, whatever, you know, that's great, But 56 00:02:58,977 --> 00:03:01,897 Speaker 1: if you spend five days talking about it all day afterwards, bad. 57 00:03:01,937 --> 00:03:04,137 Speaker 1: I don't understand. Okay, I know it's a multi billion 58 00:03:04,177 --> 00:03:08,697 Speaker 1: dollar business and I'm the weirdo. Fine, but back to this. 59 00:03:08,697 --> 00:03:13,897 Speaker 1: This young boy, he's a nine years old, a Holden 60 00:03:14,337 --> 00:03:19,057 Speaker 1: armenta and he had on his face, you know, red 61 00:03:19,057 --> 00:03:21,057 Speaker 1: paint on one side, black paint on the other because 62 00:03:21,097 --> 00:03:25,217 Speaker 1: he was at a Kansas City Chiefs game, and there's 63 00:03:25,217 --> 00:03:27,057 Speaker 1: a photo of him and he's got the you know, 64 00:03:27,137 --> 00:03:31,537 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs headdress on the whole thing. And 65 00:03:31,577 --> 00:03:37,497 Speaker 1: a dead Spin writer, a writer named Karen Phillips, he's 66 00:03:37,537 --> 00:03:41,737 Speaker 1: a black man. He's a writer for dead Spin. He 67 00:03:41,937 --> 00:03:44,817 Speaker 1: said that this was racist against both Native Americans and 68 00:03:44,857 --> 00:03:48,937 Speaker 1: black people, defaming a I guess I think a nine 69 00:03:49,017 --> 00:03:51,537 Speaker 1: ye nine year old boy. Turns out the nine year 70 00:03:51,537 --> 00:03:54,777 Speaker 1: old boy's parents are themselves Native American. I think at 71 00:03:54,817 --> 00:03:55,977 Speaker 1: least one of them is a member of a Native 72 00:03:55,977 --> 00:04:00,457 Speaker 1: American tribe. But put that aside for a moment. Think 73 00:04:00,497 --> 00:04:05,577 Speaker 1: of the mentality, and you see this with really unhappy 74 00:04:05,617 --> 00:04:09,537 Speaker 1: and malevolent leftists, where you would go after a nine 75 00:04:09,617 --> 00:04:13,937 Speaker 1: year old kid. You're paid to illuminate things, you're paid 76 00:04:13,977 --> 00:04:16,617 Speaker 1: to write and be in the realm of ideas. I mean, 77 00:04:16,617 --> 00:04:19,817 Speaker 1: I know it's dead Spin, it's garbage, right, But dead 78 00:04:19,857 --> 00:04:23,137 Speaker 1: Spin is an awful website. You know, it's like HuffPo 79 00:04:23,297 --> 00:04:27,457 Speaker 1: and dead Spin and all these other left wing you know, Jezebel, 80 00:04:27,537 --> 00:04:30,857 Speaker 1: I think that one's shut down. These are trash websites 81 00:04:30,857 --> 00:04:33,817 Speaker 1: that attract trash people. But put that aside for a moment, 82 00:04:35,457 --> 00:04:37,337 Speaker 1: think about the mentality of going after a nine year old. 83 00:04:37,377 --> 00:04:40,937 Speaker 1: Now his family suing, and he may bankrupt dead Spin, 84 00:04:40,977 --> 00:04:44,017 Speaker 1: and I hope that they do, because dead Spin's contribution 85 00:04:44,897 --> 00:04:49,337 Speaker 1: to the world is what to right sneering left wing 86 00:04:49,457 --> 00:04:55,657 Speaker 1: commentary on culture and sports? What is this doing for anybody? 87 00:04:56,257 --> 00:04:58,177 Speaker 1: And they're allowed. I'm not saying the government should shut 88 00:04:58,177 --> 00:05:00,137 Speaker 1: them down. They have a First Amendment right, but they 89 00:05:00,177 --> 00:05:02,977 Speaker 1: also have to abide by the same First Amendment rule 90 00:05:02,977 --> 00:05:05,457 Speaker 1: as everybody else where. You can't just try to ruin 91 00:05:05,497 --> 00:05:07,137 Speaker 1: the life of a nine year old boy. I think 92 00:05:08,017 --> 00:05:10,817 Speaker 1: can't we all agree that when it comes to media commentary. 93 00:05:11,457 --> 00:05:15,857 Speaker 1: You know, nine year olds are off limits for media commentary, right, 94 00:05:15,897 --> 00:05:17,737 Speaker 1: You're not going to attack a nine year old, But 95 00:05:17,777 --> 00:05:22,057 Speaker 1: the wokeness can't do that because whatever works right, the 96 00:05:22,097 --> 00:05:25,737 Speaker 1: woke left will go after anyone of any age as 97 00:05:25,777 --> 00:05:29,337 Speaker 1: long as it advances their political agenda, because really, wokeness 98 00:05:29,377 --> 00:05:34,217 Speaker 1: is a psychosis. Wokeness is a psychosis, and once you 99 00:05:34,377 --> 00:05:41,017 Speaker 1: understand that it's really a mental illness masquerading as a 100 00:05:41,017 --> 00:05:45,337 Speaker 1: political ideology, you understand why they would say nasty things 101 00:05:45,457 --> 00:05:50,857 Speaker 1: about a nine year old boy. I also remember when 102 00:05:50,857 --> 00:05:53,097 Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg was doing interviews with CNN and she was 103 00:05:53,137 --> 00:05:57,137 Speaker 1: like seventeen, and some of us are saying, hey, maybe adults. 104 00:05:57,337 --> 00:05:59,137 Speaker 1: I was saying this, maybe adults shouldn't listen to what 105 00:05:59,177 --> 00:06:00,977 Speaker 1: a seventeen year old has to say about climate changes 106 00:06:00,977 --> 00:06:03,097 Speaker 1: a few years ago, and they're all like, why are 107 00:06:03,097 --> 00:06:06,537 Speaker 1: you bashing a child? No one's bashing a child. It's 108 00:06:06,577 --> 00:06:09,257 Speaker 1: just the adults who listen to are morons. And they 109 00:06:09,257 --> 00:06:11,617 Speaker 1: are this of course CNN. You know, they've got like 110 00:06:11,777 --> 00:06:14,337 Speaker 1: Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper Greta tell us about things. 111 00:06:14,577 --> 00:06:18,817 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. But anyway, now let's talk a little bit 112 00:06:18,817 --> 00:06:20,377 Speaker 1: about what they're going to say about the Accountyay, I 113 00:06:20,417 --> 00:06:23,737 Speaker 1: hope that I'm going to say this holding Armenta is. 114 00:06:24,337 --> 00:06:26,337 Speaker 1: I hope his college fund is more than set after 115 00:06:26,377 --> 00:06:30,537 Speaker 1: this one and he's living large on dead spins money 116 00:06:30,537 --> 00:06:34,217 Speaker 1: for a long long time. Because they could have ruined 117 00:06:34,217 --> 00:06:36,177 Speaker 1: this kid's life. You know, he could have been the 118 00:06:36,257 --> 00:06:39,337 Speaker 1: kid who was a racist at the football game. That's 119 00:06:39,377 --> 00:06:41,777 Speaker 1: what they know. That they have that power, they can 120 00:06:41,817 --> 00:06:43,857 Speaker 1: do that to somebody, and that they would do that 121 00:06:43,897 --> 00:06:46,177 Speaker 1: in this instance just goes to show you. I mean, 122 00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:49,937 Speaker 1: I would never mock a nine year old for political purposes. Okay, 123 00:06:50,137 --> 00:06:51,857 Speaker 1: never would do it, never occur to me to do 124 00:06:51,897 --> 00:06:54,377 Speaker 1: something like that. It's sick. It's for weirdos. But the 125 00:06:54,457 --> 00:06:56,177 Speaker 1: left is full of weirdos, and they write for a 126 00:06:56,217 --> 00:07:01,497 Speaker 1: lot of magazines, newspapers, you know, online magazines, websites. So 127 00:07:01,577 --> 00:07:04,057 Speaker 1: we'll get into more of that here. But first up, 128 00:07:04,057 --> 00:07:06,937 Speaker 1: there's not a day that goes by without someone speculating 129 00:07:06,937 --> 00:07:09,217 Speaker 1: on how artificial intelligence is just going to change the 130 00:07:09,217 --> 00:07:12,097 Speaker 1: world we live in. Just a couple days ago, somebody 131 00:07:12,097 --> 00:07:14,977 Speaker 1: wrote an article suggesting that thousands of Hollywood animators could 132 00:07:14,977 --> 00:07:16,617 Speaker 1: be out of work in short order. I mean, this 133 00:07:16,657 --> 00:07:19,897 Speaker 1: is making massive changes. The impact that AI will have 134 00:07:20,017 --> 00:07:23,017 Speaker 1: on many industries is already on its way, as are 135 00:07:23,017 --> 00:07:26,297 Speaker 1: the opportunities to realize a positive return if you choose 136 00:07:26,337 --> 00:07:29,617 Speaker 1: to invest carefully. Tech expert Colin Tedards believes this is 137 00:07:29,657 --> 00:07:31,777 Speaker 1: the beginning of a new era that could make you rich. 138 00:07:32,257 --> 00:07:34,577 Speaker 1: Colin has been watching the markets with rapt attention. When 139 00:07:34,617 --> 00:07:36,337 Speaker 1: the stock market hit rock bottom at the end of 140 00:07:36,337 --> 00:07:39,777 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, he recommended shares of a top software company, 141 00:07:39,977 --> 00:07:42,657 Speaker 1: speculating that the upside of that company was still there. 142 00:07:43,057 --> 00:07:46,057 Speaker 1: This software company is up over two hundred percent since then. 143 00:07:46,097 --> 00:07:47,857 Speaker 1: Anyone who listened to Colin had a chance to more 144 00:07:47,857 --> 00:07:49,897 Speaker 1: than double their money in less than a year. Now 145 00:07:49,937 --> 00:07:52,537 Speaker 1: he's recommending a new AI company he says could do 146 00:07:52,617 --> 00:07:54,417 Speaker 1: even better, and he's found a way for you to 147 00:07:54,417 --> 00:07:57,537 Speaker 1: profit from this new AI project. Got to NEWAI project 148 00:07:57,577 --> 00:08:01,457 Speaker 1: dot com to learn more. That's NEWAI project dot Com. 149 00:08:01,457 --> 00:08:06,257 Speaker 1: NEWAI Project dot com paid for by Brownstone Research. So 150 00:08:06,257 --> 00:08:08,857 Speaker 1: this Wall Street Journal piece why Americans are so down 151 00:08:08,977 --> 00:08:12,217 Speaker 1: on a strong economy. Many field their long term financial 152 00:08:12,217 --> 00:08:15,817 Speaker 1: security is vulnerable to wide ranging social and political threats. 153 00:08:16,537 --> 00:08:18,097 Speaker 1: We read you a little bit of this Wall Street 154 00:08:18,177 --> 00:08:21,457 Speaker 1: Journal piece. Clayton Wiles, a truck driver North Carolina, earns 155 00:08:21,457 --> 00:08:25,377 Speaker 1: about twenty percent more than three years ago. Christine Funk, 156 00:08:25,737 --> 00:08:28,697 Speaker 1: a nurse in Ohio, has won steady pay raises, built 157 00:08:29,177 --> 00:08:35,337 Speaker 1: retirement savings, and owns her home. Alfredo Arguello open to 158 00:08:35,417 --> 00:08:37,657 Speaker 1: restaurant outside Nashville and the pandemic hit now is the 159 00:08:37,697 --> 00:08:40,417 Speaker 1: second one and employees close to fifty people ask anything 160 00:08:40,457 --> 00:08:42,737 Speaker 1: about the state of the American economy, and the gloom 161 00:08:43,177 --> 00:08:48,737 Speaker 1: surfaces unstables, how Arguello describes it, said Funk. Even though 162 00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:50,297 Speaker 1: I'm okay right now, there's a sense that could all 163 00:08:50,337 --> 00:08:53,297 Speaker 1: go away in a second. There's a striking disconnect between 164 00:08:53,337 --> 00:08:56,377 Speaker 1: the widely shared pessimism among Americans and measures that show 165 00:08:56,417 --> 00:09:00,217 Speaker 1: the economies actually robust. Okay, well, let's get into some 166 00:09:00,217 --> 00:09:01,417 Speaker 1: of this for a second. First of all, you're gonna 167 00:09:01,457 --> 00:09:03,097 Speaker 1: hear a lot of this from democrats. A little surprising 168 00:09:03,097 --> 00:09:05,737 Speaker 1: to see this in the Wall Street Journal. A lot 169 00:09:05,777 --> 00:09:08,817 Speaker 1: of this from democrats though, that the economy is so 170 00:09:08,897 --> 00:09:12,377 Speaker 1: good the peasants just don't know. Here's the fundamental problem. 171 00:09:12,457 --> 00:09:15,417 Speaker 1: The cost of stuff has gone up a lot, and 172 00:09:15,497 --> 00:09:20,657 Speaker 1: the debt is entirely unsustainable on its current trajectory thirty 173 00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:23,857 Speaker 1: three soon to be thirty four trillion dollars. And people 174 00:09:23,937 --> 00:09:28,177 Speaker 1: know that, and they understand that the financial alchemy that 175 00:09:28,377 --> 00:09:32,537 Speaker 1: has been at the forefront since the two thousand and 176 00:09:32,577 --> 00:09:37,017 Speaker 1: eight crisis is shaky and everything could change very rapidly. 177 00:09:38,377 --> 00:09:41,337 Speaker 1: And they also see that the government now is dictating 178 00:09:41,377 --> 00:09:43,617 Speaker 1: more about the economy or more about the markets, and 179 00:09:43,657 --> 00:09:47,617 Speaker 1: the markets are dictating about government. I think that's very concerning. 180 00:09:49,257 --> 00:09:52,737 Speaker 1: And there's also a sense of real anxiety about the future. Now, 181 00:09:52,777 --> 00:09:56,737 Speaker 1: part of this, I will say is anxiety cells, anxiety 182 00:09:56,777 --> 00:09:59,857 Speaker 1: cells in the media, for sure. I always remember when 183 00:10:00,497 --> 00:10:04,577 Speaker 1: Michael Crichton it was brilliant. He was such an underrated thinker. 184 00:10:05,297 --> 00:10:08,377 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just one of the few remaining Michael Crichton 185 00:10:08,417 --> 00:10:10,937 Speaker 1: super fans out there now, but because I loved his 186 00:10:11,017 --> 00:10:14,977 Speaker 1: novels growing up as a kid, and his novels were 187 00:10:15,017 --> 00:10:18,177 Speaker 1: really the first time Michael Crichton and then Tom Clancy 188 00:10:18,217 --> 00:10:20,937 Speaker 1: the first time that I ever bought. I had my 189 00:10:20,977 --> 00:10:24,097 Speaker 1: parents buy me books that weren't for school, and I 190 00:10:24,097 --> 00:10:26,377 Speaker 1: would rather read those books and watch any TV show 191 00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:27,417 Speaker 1: where I was just like, oh, I can't wait to 192 00:10:27,417 --> 00:10:30,857 Speaker 1: get back to that the next chapter. And that really 193 00:10:30,857 --> 00:10:32,377 Speaker 1: a light went off in my head. It turned me 194 00:10:32,377 --> 00:10:36,377 Speaker 1: into a lifelong voracious reader. Maybe gets thrown around a lot. 195 00:10:36,497 --> 00:10:40,057 Speaker 1: I fall asleep every night reading a book. I fall 196 00:10:40,097 --> 00:10:43,177 Speaker 1: asleep every night reading pretty much unless I'm so exhausted 197 00:10:43,177 --> 00:10:44,457 Speaker 1: that I just am out when I hit the pillow. 198 00:10:44,497 --> 00:10:46,617 Speaker 1: But I fall asleep every night reading. Usually I get 199 00:10:46,617 --> 00:10:50,377 Speaker 1: through a chapter two and then I'll pass out. But 200 00:10:50,617 --> 00:10:57,537 Speaker 1: reading is so very important, so profoundly necessary and useful 201 00:10:57,577 --> 00:11:02,577 Speaker 1: for your life. And well, oh, Michael Crichton, Michael Crichton, Sorry, 202 00:11:02,697 --> 00:11:05,097 Speaker 1: I wasn't talking to Michael Criyton, author of Jurassic Park 203 00:11:05,137 --> 00:11:07,857 Speaker 1: and Congo and Sphere and Rising Sun and Andromeda Strain, 204 00:11:07,937 --> 00:11:10,817 Speaker 1: and because he's said that if you want to get 205 00:11:10,817 --> 00:11:14,537 Speaker 1: people's attention at a cocktail party, be a catastrophist. And 206 00:11:14,577 --> 00:11:16,457 Speaker 1: he said not only that, if you want to get 207 00:11:16,457 --> 00:11:19,337 Speaker 1: them angry at you challenge the catastrophists. This is I'm 208 00:11:19,337 --> 00:11:22,177 Speaker 1: paraphrasing here, but tell them everything's actually going to be okay. 209 00:11:23,137 --> 00:11:25,457 Speaker 1: People are all the brain, the the the you know, 210 00:11:25,537 --> 00:11:28,697 Speaker 1: the fear center of the brain, what is it, the 211 00:11:28,697 --> 00:11:32,817 Speaker 1: the amygdalah, right, yeah, the amygdalah, the lizard brain, right, 212 00:11:33,577 --> 00:11:37,057 Speaker 1: fight or flight? You tickle that part of the brain. 213 00:11:37,137 --> 00:11:40,137 Speaker 1: You got people's attention right away. And with the economy, 214 00:11:40,337 --> 00:11:44,697 Speaker 1: what really always sells is catastrophism. Catastrophism is what sells. 215 00:11:45,737 --> 00:11:48,297 Speaker 1: And also in politics, all horrible things are going to happen, 216 00:11:49,097 --> 00:11:51,017 Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, a lot of horrible things will happen. 217 00:11:51,097 --> 00:11:52,177 Speaker 1: We're not going to be around for a lot of 218 00:11:52,177 --> 00:11:54,737 Speaker 1: those horrible things, though. It will happen so far into 219 00:11:54,737 --> 00:11:56,217 Speaker 1: the future that we won't even know, so why are 220 00:11:56,217 --> 00:11:58,777 Speaker 1: we worrying about it? But you see, even this, people 221 00:11:58,817 --> 00:12:01,017 Speaker 1: would think this is a boring monologue telling you that 222 00:12:01,177 --> 00:12:03,577 Speaker 1: mostly if you're making good decisions in your day to 223 00:12:03,657 --> 00:12:05,457 Speaker 1: day life, things are going to be okay. What you 224 00:12:05,537 --> 00:12:10,457 Speaker 1: have is the transference of people's anxiety. The anxiety be 225 00:12:10,697 --> 00:12:12,497 Speaker 1: who am I, what am I doing? How do I 226 00:12:12,537 --> 00:12:15,577 Speaker 1: treat people? How am I productive? What choices am I making? 227 00:12:16,377 --> 00:12:18,977 Speaker 1: Anxiety around that? Not on healthy levels of anxiety. But 228 00:12:19,017 --> 00:12:24,257 Speaker 1: you know, a concern around those issues is absolutely a 229 00:12:24,257 --> 00:12:28,337 Speaker 1: good thing. Be thinking about that, be really focused on 230 00:12:29,257 --> 00:12:31,777 Speaker 1: obsessing on leading the best life you can lead is 231 00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:34,817 Speaker 1: a good thing. But what you have is a lot 232 00:12:34,817 --> 00:12:36,817 Speaker 1: of people are obsessed about Oh, but you know, the 233 00:12:37,097 --> 00:12:39,897 Speaker 1: great collapse is coming, and this is you know, it 234 00:12:39,937 --> 00:12:42,497 Speaker 1: gets clicks, it gets attention. But unless you have if 235 00:12:42,537 --> 00:12:45,137 Speaker 1: some kind of a way to address this. You know, 236 00:12:45,177 --> 00:12:47,137 Speaker 1: I bring up the debt because I do think politically 237 00:12:47,137 --> 00:12:49,497 Speaker 1: we need to do something about it. I think we 238 00:12:49,577 --> 00:12:51,377 Speaker 1: actually need to tackle this, but people don't want to 239 00:12:51,377 --> 00:12:54,377 Speaker 1: hear that quite yet. And so that's why I think 240 00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:56,617 Speaker 1: that there's a greater sense of the economy is worse 241 00:12:56,657 --> 00:13:00,417 Speaker 1: than it really is for some people, because everyone who 242 00:13:00,417 --> 00:13:02,337 Speaker 1: wants attention is always going to tell you the economy 243 00:13:02,377 --> 00:13:04,857 Speaker 1: is really bad. Now that said, the economy isn't very good. 244 00:13:04,897 --> 00:13:06,897 Speaker 1: So I think I disagree with the Wall Street Journal's 245 00:13:06,977 --> 00:13:10,817 Speaker 1: take here. But because the just flat, the prices are 246 00:13:10,857 --> 00:13:15,297 Speaker 1: really high and low unemployment, the way they gauge inflation 247 00:13:15,497 --> 00:13:18,097 Speaker 1: is garbage. So yeah, the numbers say the economy is 248 00:13:18,097 --> 00:13:20,697 Speaker 1: pretty good, but the numbers are crashed themselves. They take 249 00:13:20,857 --> 00:13:24,417 Speaker 1: energy and food out of the way that they assess inflation. 250 00:13:24,497 --> 00:13:28,697 Speaker 1: I mean the basket right of items that's nonsense. And 251 00:13:29,177 --> 00:13:34,297 Speaker 1: you look at you know, labor participation that's not nearly 252 00:13:34,337 --> 00:13:36,777 Speaker 1: where it should be. So just the unemployment figures, there's 253 00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:38,337 Speaker 1: all kinds of problems. You know, how have you been 254 00:13:38,377 --> 00:13:39,857 Speaker 1: looking and how long you've been looking, and all the 255 00:13:39,897 --> 00:13:43,857 Speaker 1: people fall off, and so the economy is not very good. 256 00:13:44,017 --> 00:13:45,857 Speaker 1: And that's the truth, all right. It's all The Towers 257 00:13:45,897 --> 00:13:49,377 Speaker 1: Foundations supports in America's greatest heroes. These are service members 258 00:13:49,377 --> 00:13:51,617 Speaker 1: and first responders who die or severely injured the line 259 00:13:51,617 --> 00:13:54,217 Speaker 1: of duty, and homeless veterans. We owe a debt of 260 00:13:54,257 --> 00:13:57,577 Speaker 1: gratitude to these heroes. The Foundation's gold Star, Fall and 261 00:13:57,617 --> 00:14:00,897 Speaker 1: First Responder, Smart Home and Homeless Veteran programs honor the 262 00:14:00,937 --> 00:14:03,817 Speaker 1: sacrifices made for us by the men and women who 263 00:14:03,937 --> 00:14:06,177 Speaker 1: risk their lives and bodies for our country and our communities. 264 00:14:06,537 --> 00:14:09,017 Speaker 1: The Foundations Never Forget programs engage people in nine to 265 00:14:09,017 --> 00:14:12,297 Speaker 1: eleven remembrance across America with over eighty runs, walks, and 266 00:14:12,337 --> 00:14:14,937 Speaker 1: climbs a year and dozens of golf outings and barbecues. 267 00:14:15,337 --> 00:14:17,857 Speaker 1: Tell the Towers nine to eleven Institute educates kids in 268 00:14:17,977 --> 00:14:20,937 Speaker 1: kindergarten through twelfth grade about America's darkest day while helping 269 00:14:20,977 --> 00:14:23,457 Speaker 1: our nation keep its vowed and never forget. More than 270 00:14:23,537 --> 00:14:25,497 Speaker 1: ninety five cents of every dollar you donate to Tunnel 271 00:14:25,497 --> 00:14:27,937 Speaker 1: the Towers goes to its programs. Never forget nine to 272 00:14:27,937 --> 00:14:30,857 Speaker 1: eleven or the sacrifices of our country's greatest heroes. Join 273 00:14:30,897 --> 00:14:32,897 Speaker 1: me in donating eleven dollars a month some of the 274 00:14:32,897 --> 00:14:35,137 Speaker 1: Towers at T two t dot org. That's t the 275 00:14:35,177 --> 00:14:39,937 Speaker 1: number two t dot org. Then it's the final thing here, Republicans. 276 00:14:40,057 --> 00:14:42,257 Speaker 1: This was the headline of Daily Mail, which, as you all, 277 00:14:42,297 --> 00:14:44,137 Speaker 1: if you listen to me enough, you know that I 278 00:14:44,177 --> 00:14:46,617 Speaker 1: really liked the Daily Mail, except for all the British 279 00:14:46,697 --> 00:14:48,737 Speaker 1: Royal family nonsense that nobody should care about in this 280 00:14:48,737 --> 00:14:51,977 Speaker 1: country or really any country. But Republicans officially tanked THEROWN 281 00:14:52,017 --> 00:14:55,137 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighteen billion dollar border security bill. Conservative 282 00:14:55,177 --> 00:14:59,137 Speaker 1: senators tarin to Mitch McConnell as GOP package unravels in 283 00:14:59,217 --> 00:15:05,857 Speaker 1: just seventy two hours after months of negotiations. This was 284 00:15:05,897 --> 00:15:08,577 Speaker 1: the best possible outcome for Republicans, given that they never 285 00:15:08,577 --> 00:15:10,377 Speaker 1: should have gone forward with this in the first place. 286 00:15:11,457 --> 00:15:13,417 Speaker 1: All this bill did was give the talking points that 287 00:15:13,497 --> 00:15:16,937 Speaker 1: this whole move was the most obvious Democrats slide of 288 00:15:16,937 --> 00:15:20,097 Speaker 1: fan It was just to give Democrats this talking point 289 00:15:20,137 --> 00:15:22,937 Speaker 1: that Republicans are the ones who refuse to fix the border, 290 00:15:23,817 --> 00:15:26,657 Speaker 1: and Democrats the by An administration. They're the ones that 291 00:15:26,697 --> 00:15:28,057 Speaker 1: have kicked it wide open, They're the ones who have 292 00:15:28,097 --> 00:15:33,817 Speaker 1: destroyed it. So I'm glad that this is not going forward. 293 00:15:33,817 --> 00:15:37,337 Speaker 1: The bill is not going forward, but you know, it 294 00:15:37,337 --> 00:15:39,697 Speaker 1: never should have gotten this far. Republicans should be unified 295 00:15:39,737 --> 00:15:41,417 Speaker 1: on this. But there's a lot of Republicans who just 296 00:15:41,417 --> 00:15:46,457 Speaker 1: don't understand. They've really they don't see what's going on 297 00:15:47,017 --> 00:15:49,937 Speaker 1: in a way that makes them feel like there's a 298 00:15:49,977 --> 00:15:51,657 Speaker 1: real problem with the future of the country. And I 299 00:15:51,697 --> 00:15:55,617 Speaker 1: was talking before about catastrophism if this border situation continues 300 00:15:55,657 --> 00:15:59,617 Speaker 1: America is going to dissolve. It's the truth. We're not 301 00:15:59,657 --> 00:16:01,537 Speaker 1: going to be the country that we were because we'll 302 00:16:01,577 --> 00:16:06,017 Speaker 1: be a lawless country with rapidly changing demographics. Assimilation will 303 00:16:06,057 --> 00:16:10,017 Speaker 1: be completely overwhelmed. And what will America be? I mean, 304 00:16:10,177 --> 00:16:12,217 Speaker 1: just think about it this way. If it doesn't matter 305 00:16:12,217 --> 00:16:15,537 Speaker 1: who's here. If we imported three hundred million Chinese, if 306 00:16:15,537 --> 00:16:17,297 Speaker 1: we could do, there are enough of them, right, there's 307 00:16:17,297 --> 00:16:19,537 Speaker 1: over a billion people in China. Let's say three hundred 308 00:16:19,537 --> 00:16:21,497 Speaker 1: million people from China came here, is it's still America. 309 00:16:21,617 --> 00:16:24,577 Speaker 1: They're all speaking Mandarin, they all have a very different 310 00:16:24,577 --> 00:16:28,377 Speaker 1: sense of priorities and life and culture and historical attachments 311 00:16:28,377 --> 00:16:31,737 Speaker 1: and language. And if you import three hundred million Chinese, 312 00:16:31,777 --> 00:16:33,577 Speaker 1: is okay? You say, well that we're not doing that. Yeah, 313 00:16:33,617 --> 00:16:38,177 Speaker 1: well we've imported like thirty million illegals. It's a lot 314 00:16:38,457 --> 00:16:40,777 Speaker 1: in addition to the legal immigration that's in this country. 315 00:16:40,857 --> 00:16:45,857 Speaker 1: So I think it's a big deal personally, I really do. 316 00:16:46,217 --> 00:16:48,817 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's catastrophism because it is a catastrophe. 317 00:16:49,537 --> 00:16:52,497 Speaker 1: So Republicans didn't step right on the bear trap this time, 318 00:16:52,857 --> 00:16:54,537 Speaker 1: Well they kind of did. Maybe they step in the 319 00:16:54,537 --> 00:16:59,177 Speaker 1: coyote snare, but we got to watch them. They'll never 320 00:16:59,177 --> 00:17:02,257 Speaker 1: miss an opportunity, to miss an opportunity. Thanks for hanging 321 00:17:02,737 --> 00:17:03,337 Speaker 1: shield time.
