WEBVTT - The Maine Problem - May 27th, Hour 3 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:04.559 Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.360 All right, news round up and information overload. Our toll 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.200 free our number is eight hundred and nine point one Sean. 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.440 If you want to be a part of the program. Well, 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.880 the left wing Democrats they can't help themselves. I guess 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:19.680 they really can, but they choose not to. But they 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:21.840 are who they are, and I don't think they're going 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:26.760 to change too much. And anyway, the issue of trans 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:31.360 athletes or men playing women's sports, they are now the 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.519 champions of And if you remember, President Trump got into 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.879 a little bit of a confrontation with the with the 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.320 governor of Maine, Governor Mills, over this issue. And here's 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:42.160 how that went down. 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:43.920 Is the main here the governor of Man. 0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:51.040 Are you not going to comply with it? Well, we 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.800 are the federal law. Well you better do it. You 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.440 better do it because you're not going to get any 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.640 federal funding at all if you don't. And by the way, 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.920 your population, even though it's a liberal orthough I did 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.760 very well there. Your population doesn't want men playing in 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.840 women's sports. So you better comply because otherwise you're not 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.759 getting any federal funding. 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.720 Every state. Good, I'll see you, and could I look 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:15.039 forward to that that should be a really easy one 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.600 and enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:21.800 you'll be an elected politics ouch. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.040 And then of course Galvin Newsom talks to Charlie Kirk. 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:29.039 I'm not for men playing women's sports. But we've got 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.600 the tape, and here's what he had said at the time. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.280 Turns out in twenty fourteen, here's before I was governor. 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.640 There was a law established that established the legal principles 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:43.360 that allow the allowed trans athletes and women's sports. But 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.400 the issue of fairness is completely It is an issue 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.960 of fairness, and I think Democrats have last thank you 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.920 for what you did on civil rights for students in 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.960 our schools, transgender rights in this state. 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:00.600 Oh, of course, you know, Gaveners flips and flops and 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.960 flails because he wants to live at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.520 Now you might remember the case. A Laurel Libby, state 0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:10.680 legislator from Maine won her case, by the way, and 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.120 her role of main politics for the help of the 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.160 Supreme Court ruling in her favor. But she's still struggling 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.040 to do her job for her constituents because some people 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.280 in Maine's legislature do not want to hear from her, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.120 and she's also had plenty to say about why the 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:33.200 Democrats cannot connect with today's generation. But anyway, we appreciate 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.480 you being with us, Laurel Libby. Thank you, And you 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.239 know you decided to stand up and protect girls sports 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:45.280 and you are ostracized, and I guess remain ostracized. And 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.160 you reminded your state what title mine was all about 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.120 in the first place, and they were responded by rejecting 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.840 your right to voice your opinion. I mean, this is 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.839 this is the modern day left today. 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.960 That is the modern day left. Thankfully, the Supreme Court 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.840 has ruled that the justaure has to count my vote 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:04.320 now while the case is pending, and so I am 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.600 still not able to speak in the main House, but 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.720 I am allowed to vote on behalf of my constituents 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.000 at this point, I mean. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.280 I just can't believe what is the rationale for not 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:14.240 letting you speak? 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:19.280 Well, I was centered three months ago and their rationale 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.639 was that I shared a picture of a minor. Now, 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.799 of course, this was a picture that had been shared 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.760 publicly already, and if I had shared the post in 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.760 celebration of a biological male winning a state championship in 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.600 the female category, then that post would have been celebrated 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.800 as well. But the fact is that it highlighted a 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:44.080 policy that's not popular with manors, and so in political retaliation, 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:46.960 I was censured and my ability to vote and speak 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.800 on the floor on behalf of my constituents was taken. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.800 So we have two issues that have come out today. 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.080 Abe Hernandez, a male high school athlete identifying as a female, 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.280 continues to make waves in the track field world. Hernande 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.760 is the name you may be familiar with. Took first 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.800 place in both the long jump and triple jump at 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:14.440 the California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Master's Meet over the weekend, 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.880 and by doing so, Hernandez qualified for both events for 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:24.039 next weekend state championships. And anyways, this individuals I guess 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.440 a junior, and those latest accomplishments could be enough to 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.360 start Nettingham College scholarship offers in women's track and field, 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:35.120 made possible by the fact that the biological male recently 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.599 amended his birth certificate to reflect his change to the 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:43.080 poultry sum of twenty three dollars and anyway, an organization 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.960 also that works to protect fairness, safety, and equal opportunity 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.839 for women in girls' sports, issuing various officials in the 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.400 state of Minnesota for allowing poise to compete against girls 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:57.760 in sporting events there, and the Alliance Defending Freedom Female 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.880 Athletes United you know names the Attorney General Keith Ellison 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:08.040 and others. And the official policy of Minnesota High State 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.119 High School League, which governs high school athletics in the state, 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.640 is to allow students to compete based on their stated 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.960 gender identity without regards to sex. So this obviously is 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.080 still continuing and Democrats continue to champion it. What's your 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:22.719 reaction to that. 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:28.080 Yes, absolutely, completely unfair and discriminates against our young women 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:32.440 who have worked so hard for years trying to excel 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:36.640 in their different fields and to have a biological male 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.719 boy swoop in and take their place, because that's exactly 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.919 what is happening. They're being pushed aside so that a 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.320 boy can can swoop in and take their podiums, take 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:53.000 their medals, take their scholarships. It is completely unfair and 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.880 we've heard that from Gavin Newsom. Unfortunately he's not backed 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:59.239 that up with any action in support of women and girls. 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.760 But that's we need to see state by state, And 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:07.000 thankfully we are seeing individual school districts step up, whether 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.880 we're talking about Maine or Washington or other states and 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.320 declare that they're going to go by Title nine rather 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.160 than allowing this woke policy to persist. But folks need 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.720 to stand up and say no more. 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.320 Well, I appreciate your winning the Supreme Court. The idea 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:28.359 that you cannot speak on behalf of your constituents and 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.680 they're silencing you is beyond troubling to me? Is it 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.839 not anybody in that chamber that you work in and 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.120 main willing to stand up for you and stand with 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.000 you and support your right to speak? 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.800 You know, I wish that there were. I just got 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.880 my right to speak back last Thursday, and just today 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:53.360 him having the right to vote on specific bills challenged 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:56.599 by even my own party when Republicans wouldn't support a 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.840 roll call on a bill that I requested today. So 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.240 now ongoing challenges from both the left and the right 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:04.840 in the main House. 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.960 Chamber, And what is the reaction among your constituents in 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:08.479 this case? 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.120 Now, my constituents are thankful as the am I that 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:14.280 I am able to vote on their behalf. It's been 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.800 a long three months they have not had representation. They've 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:23.000 been completely disenfranchised by the Democrat majority issuing this censure 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.240 and declaring that I couldn't speak or vote on their behalf. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.840 But they're also eager for me to have my voice 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.360 back and to be able to speak on their behalf. 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.800 In our case is pending on June fifth, we'll have 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.920 a hearing before the First Circuit Court of Appeals, and 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.120 I'm hopeful that they'll uphold the Constitution in my constituents' 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:44.680 right to representation and my right to the First Amendment 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.119 right to free speech, and that this will be struck 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.440 down well. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.760 This is also unprecedented in as much as you have 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:57.920 all four active federal judges in Maine, all four of 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:03.240 them recuse themselves from hearing your lawsuit against the main 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:11.360 House speaker. Why did they accuse themselves. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:12.880 The mother of the biological mail the boy that won 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:15.920 the state championship here in Maine that I posted about. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.600 That young man's mother apparently works for the court, and 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:27.120 so the judges recused themselves because of that close relationship 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.680 with that employee. And my case was moved to Rhode 0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:35.440 Island where it was heard, and then when we lost there, 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.280 we've moved again to the First Circuit Court of Appeals 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.480 and are looking forward to having our day in court 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:41.080 on June fifth. 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.439 It really is unbelievable. What did you make of this 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.280 news that came out over the weekend, some what, twenty 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.240 million dollars a plan to study the syntax of young 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.240 men to win their votes over. I mean, what was 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.400 your reaction to that? I mean it made me laugh. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.640 I mean I chuckled to myself with the idea that 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.400 somehow Tim Walls was chosen as the as the white 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.880 guy to you know, be able to talk pro talk 0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:10.199 with people is laughable to me. But I mean, that's 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.800 that's what happened. But Democrats wrote, you know, twenty million 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:18.400 dollars plot to win over young male voters doesn't sound 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:19.360 very authentic to me. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.760 No, it certainly does not sound very authentic. And if 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.960 you're in a position where you have to buy the 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.080 next generations vote, you may want to consider that perhaps 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:34.280 the policies that you're advocating for economic to social policies 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.560 and everything in between, perhaps you should reconsider what you 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.120 stand for. If the next generation is saying we don't 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.560 want that rather than trying to buy their vote. 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.800 Yeah, the plan was called SAM, which is short for 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:53.880 Speaking with American Men, a strategic plan and promised investment 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:58.760 to study the syntax, language, and content that gains attention 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:05.559 and and virality in these spaces. And the plan recommends 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.160 buying advertisements and video games and noted above all, we 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:15.040 must shift from a moralizing tone. I mean, old, let 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.960 me hi, bro, how are you? What's going on? Dude? 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:19.920 What's up? 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:20.200 Man? 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:23.240 How are you? What's happening with you? I mean, we 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:25.200 have to have a lesson in how to be a person. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.720 You know, a I can go a long way, but 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.680 I don't think it can help shift the failed Democrat 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:34.840 policies to win over the next generation, and certainly not 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:39.280 the folks who are playing video games by bringing in 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:44.280 any kind of fake you know, they're looking for authenticity. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:47.920 The next generation is looking for authenticity and they can 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:54.120 tell authenticity from not and that's what's shifting folks away 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:58.840 from the Democrat party. Buying advertisements in video games is 0:10:58.880 --> 0:10:59.920 not going to get them anywhere. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:00.960 I don't think so. 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:01.199 Well. 0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:04.240 We appreciate your fight. Sorry, you have to live through this, 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.079 and I am very grateful to hear that your constituents 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.640 support you, because we need more people like you that 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.880 are willing to get in the fight and engage in 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.440 the fight even though you're treated so unfairly. And I 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:22.760 hope the courts rightly reverse this travesty, this constitutional travesty 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.280 in this case. And we appreciate you coming on and 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.199 we wish you the best. 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:27.600 Of look, thank you so much. 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:28.800 All right, Laurel. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.480 Libby eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn is 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:31.640 a number if you want to be a part of 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:35.160 the program. We have somebody call themselves coach from the 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.040 great state of Texas. God bless Texas. What's up, coach? 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.800 How are you you a coach? Yes, sir, what do 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:42.800 you coach? What do you coach? 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:47.360 Well? I coached It's a little bit of football, basketball. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.560 I coached both my daughters in sports. I played sports forever. 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.120 I'm luckily I'm retired now because if I was in 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.640 the school district right now, I would be risking my 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.160 career because I'm first of all, I'm pissed off number one. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.160 And you have to question last segment, how much is enough? 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.080 I don't know if that was rhetorical, but I haven't 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:07.520 answer how much is enough. I might do three things 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.600 that are gonna have to happen to kill This has 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.839 nothing to do with legislation or funding one they needed. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.760 Somebody has to step up and out absurd, be absurd, 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.320 bringing Mike Tyson in women's box and bring me Labron 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.240 James and basketball, give me a mail tennis player and girl, 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:27.600 and that will end it. That's one way. Number two. Sadly, 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.120 somebody's probably gonna have to die, and I hope it 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.199 doesn't go that way, but we're getting closer. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.120 And close, God, I hope not. I mean, you have 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.920 the one volleyball player that was pretty severely injured, and 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:42.080 it's just about physicality. And I think Caitlyn Jeni said 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.079 it best when she said, I don't care what your 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.199 hormone levels are when you're eighteen, nineteen twenty, what were 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.560 your hormone levels at puberty? And then you have this 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.120 whole concept of puberty blockers. Then you have another concept 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:01.200 where where where kids can literally get this type of 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.439 treatment without parental consent, which is a major problem for 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.240 me because as a parent, you're not a potted plant, 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.640 and I believe in parental rights. Well, I mean, it's 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.720 a multifaceted. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.000 Issue, but it's not to me. It's not about the biology. 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.000 If you look at any game or any sport that's 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.840 ever been played or ever will be played, it's got 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.040 to be fun. It's got to be fair. There's got 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:23.720 to be free of danger. Of three, yes, is what 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.920 I call it. So the the man playing in the 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.640 women's sport, let's just call it what it is. It 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.240 removes all three. It's no fun, it's no fair, and 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.360 now we're in danger. It's gonna take a serious injury 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.000 or death sadly to make this stop. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.440 I hope it doesn't come to that, coach, I really do. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.959 I'd hate to see that happen. And it's preventable and 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.640 it's just. But what is amazing to me is, in 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:52.560 spite of public opinion so strongly against this, the Democrats 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.760 are clinging to this as their issue, just like they 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.240 cling to, you know, defending the rights of illegals over 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.280 the safety of an Americans, like they cling to the 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:06.240 notion that it is a constitutional crisis to cut out waste, 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.120 fraud and abuse in government spending. It's like they could 0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:11.800 They wouldn't even stand for mothers that lost their children. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.360 This is a party that has really really gone astray 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.640 and they've lost, you know, any moral compass or moral 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.080 clarity or common sense in their lives. Maybe it's a 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:23.920 good thing if you don't want them to win, but 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.360 you know what, they're not going to give up fighting. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.760 They're not They're going to try and take your stove, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.240 take your air conditioner, take your refrigerator, you know, put 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.200 a car in your driveway that you don't want, and 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.200 not give you freedom, and then and promise a cradle 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.360 to grave, womb to tomb society that will never materialize. Anyway, 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.640 my friend, eight hundred nine four one Shawn is our number. 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.320 If you want to be a part of the program. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.680 All right, quick break right back. We'll get to your calls. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.600 Eight hundred ninety four one Shawn as we continue today. Anyway, 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.440 eight hundred and nine four one Shawn, if you want 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.000 to be a part of the program. I mean, it 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.200 is clear the left is not going to change. I 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.640 mentioned earlier. They want to want you to climate proof 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.680 your Memorial Day and electric grills are a climate friendly 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:10.080 option of fossil is nothing cleaner burning than natural gas, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.480 nothing cleaner. It makes zero sense. They don't care. But 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:17.280 that's them, that's the left today. You know, Mike Rose 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.360 said something that was very, very interesting and I like 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.960 him a lot. He did the Dirty Job series. He 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:26.640 also is on my favorite show, Deadliest Catch. I love 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.560 that show, just loved that show. You know, I donated 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:31.640 the money. He never he still has never sent me 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:34.120 my poster autographed by the captains of that show. Can 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:38.600 you believe that? What's up with Mike? Anyway? He's highlighting 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.280 how there is a lack of consequences that could be 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:46.480 leading to a declining work ethic and with all the 0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.800 new high paying career jobs that will be coming online 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.960 in the next four years, there's going to be a 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:56.600 great need for people that have a good work ethic. Anyway, 0:15:56.720 --> 0:16:00.320 so he went on to point out that a lot 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:04.400 of these younger kids, and you know, they grew up 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:07.520 in a world without deadlines and consequences, and that it's 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:11.280 fueling a potential crisis. And over the last few years, 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.320 many people are questioning the work ethic of former members 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.800 of gen Z. Those are people born between ninety seven 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:22.200 and twenty twelve and have expressed concern over how this 0:16:22.440 --> 0:16:26.760 impacts young people entering the workforce. And anyway, he went 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.080 on to explain he was on with Martha McCallum on 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:33.000 Fox that one of the overriding factors contributing to the 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:37.200 decline in work ethic in younger generations is they face 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:42.040 more lenient deadlines and less consequences, and he said that 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:48.960 expectations and standards of workers can become fungible quickly. He's 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.680 not wrong. I've noticed this in my own life. You know, 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.880 if you live your life on a high wire with 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.160 the safety net fifteen feet below you all the time, 0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:01.040 there's no consequence for falling, and on to explain that 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.320 the work ethic is gone. I can tell you one 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.040 of the best things that ever happened in my life 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.600 is I worked, and I work from you know, the 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.359 at age eight with a with a you know, doing 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:17.080 paper routes, age twelve, working Friday, Saturday, Sunday night, washing 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:21.080 dishes and a busy restaurant. And it's like we've got 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.359 to now go. But we got to get our kids back, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.600 and we got to teach them a work ethic. And 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.080 it's like schools today, they just pass you, whether you're 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:34.080 qualified to pass or not. Pretty unbelievable. Anyway, eight hundred 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:35.920 and nine one, Shawn is our number. You want to 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:38.159 be a part of the program. Let's say, how to 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.080 Randy and Washington State. Randy, how are you glad you called? 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:41.680 Hey? 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.760 I wonder to talk about that great, big, beautiful bill. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:46.160 I don't understand. 0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.240 If we have the House and a swim majority in 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.960 the Senate, why are we even listening to these Democrats? 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:58.840 They obviously just want to spend their money needlessly and waitefully. 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.119 And if we have the majority, why don't we just 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.280 write it down bill the way it's supposed to be written, 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:09.760 cutting out all the pork, and fight it out in 0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.240 the Senate. And honestly, we don't even really have the 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:16.359 Senate because we don't have enough votes to pass the bill. 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:19.680 We do through the reconciliation process. And frankly, you can 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.560 thank the chairman of the Budget Committee in this case 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:26.520 that happens to be Lindsey Graham. Now Ron Johnson, Ram 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.760 Paul and some others are saying they don't think the 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.720 cuts go far enough. I'm fine with them adding more 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.520 cuts to it, I really am. I have no problem 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.760 with that at all. The Trump tarrifs, by the way, 0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:39.920 have foreign car company scrambling to open factories. In New York, 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:44.080 consumer confidence jumped by double digits in May. That number 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.479 just came out. The stock marker went through the roof today. 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:53.240 And you know, but I'll give you an example. And 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.959 you know, doctor Oz was on this program last week 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.720 that we're all footing the bill fourteen billion dollars, you know, 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:04.280 from Medicaid fraud while eligible patients struggle for care. There's 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.479 one point four million people that are illegal that are 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:11.200 getting Medicaid benefits. Now, there was a New York Post 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:17.720 article today and you're right, Yes, Republicans need to cut 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:23.240 federal spending and soaring Medicaid outlays because it's headed towards insolvency, 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.960 you know. And you could see that the outlays have 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:30.880 skyrocketed these last twenty years, and the Fed spend one 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:34.600 hundred and sixty billion in fiscal year twenty three and 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:39.560 over three and a half times as much state level spending. Meanwhile, 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:41.640 that rose from one hundred and eight to two hundred 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.040 and eighty billion dollars. But what's basically gone on is 0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:49.560 Democrats steadily pushing towards universal health care coverage at taxpayer, 0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:53.920 taxpayer expense. By doing it this way. In the process, 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.880 Medicaid's grown from covering the poor and covering the near 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.520 poor and even the not really poor at all. In 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:04.360 the process, sas displacing private insurance more than it's actually 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.800 expanding the share of the population that is covered. Any 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.440 illegal immigrants as well as legal ones who aren't supposed 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:16.240 to become, you know, beyond the public dole or on 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.600 the public dole, and they're all benefiting from this. That's 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.600 not how this was designed. That's why it's headed towards insolvency, 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:27.040 just like Social Security is headed towards insolvency, and it's 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:30.080 a big problem. If the Senate can improve it and 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.400 make it more conservative and cut back more money, I'm 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:36.639 all in favor of it, and I think probably Republican 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.000 House members will support that too. The way this is 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:42.199 going to work is the House passed it by you know, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.800 a slim margin, and the Senate will pass their version 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:50.680 of it, working with the Senate parliamentarian to make sure 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:55.399 it meets the criteria for reconciliation, and then they'll go 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.159 into conference between the two houses. They'll come up with 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:01.480 a compromise bill. Hopefully it cut more because I think 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:04.160 the more the better. I think it's better for the economy. 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:07.480 We can't keep robbing from our kids. And then they'll 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:09.480 vote again in the House, so again in the Senate, 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.880 and then hopefully the President signs the bill. As of now, 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:18.760 I don't see problems. I think that eventually will get there. 0:21:18.880 --> 0:21:21.040 But I think it's a heavy lift, and I think 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:22.359 the more that they cut the better. 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:26.600 Well, and I don't agree with them, you know, like 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:30.439 putting Social Security on the chopping block. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:33.400 You know, I'm sixty eight. 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:36.680 I don't make enough on my Social Security to even 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.480 qualify to rent an apartment. And that's a you know, 0:21:40.720 --> 0:21:44.000 cheap apartment. You have to have three times amount of 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:48.080 monthly income to qualify to rent an apartment. And I 0:21:48.240 --> 0:21:51.240 paid my dues and I'm still paying. I'm back to 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:56.760 work and I'm paying every paycheck into Social Security and 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:01.000 I already paid. I don't think that's just anyway. I 0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.280 know there's a lot of injustice, and I know Trump's 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:08.000 doing a fantastic job. I'm really impressed, and I hope 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:11.760 that they addressed the Social Security issue because every year 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:16.640 these politicians vote themselves are raised. Well, we in social 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.080 Security ought to get the same percentage of a race. 0:22:19.720 --> 0:22:22.879 We don't we get two point five percent. Woo. That 0:22:22.960 --> 0:22:26.120 doesn't even keep up with the times. So anyway, that's 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.359
