So I'm looking up at 35 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 4: just like my general wall of information for the day, 36 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: a lot more discussions of the movie, Ulysses. 37 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 3: I find this. 38 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 4: This is a heartening to me that there is a 39 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 4: like real deep, if you want it, discussion about a 40 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 4: three thousand year old poem and Western culture and all 41 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: this different sort of stuff. It's amazing the way it 42 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: seems to have grabbed attention of the cultural elite. In 43 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 4: addition to being the number one movie for people who 44 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: just want to go see an epic adventure film and 45 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: putting aside, I know this annoys you, the knee jerk 46 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 4: political approach to every movie and who's in it and 47 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 4: what the director said and stuff like that. I just 48 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: I don't have time for my entertainment. I love music, 49 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: for instance, and if I let every liberal musician in 50 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 4: the world annoy me, I would have to, I don't know, 51 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 4: just listen to myself play guitar. But anyway, I have 52 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: really enjoyed the discussion of some of the themes of 53 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 4: the poem and the movie and how the modern movie 54 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: may depart from. 55 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 3: The theme, especially at the end. Interesting stuff. 56 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 4: And also I got into a real good study of 57 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: the translations of Ulysses and how they differ, and it 58 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 4: reminded me of the power of the translator. 59 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: Just you know, stimulating stuff. 60 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: It's good stuff, and it's studying Western civilization, which hey, 61 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 4: two big thumbs up. 62 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 3: Man. 63 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 4: The discussion that they had in the National Review podcast 64 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 4: yesterday was just fantastic, going through the different versions that 65 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 4: have existed throughout history, going back thousands of years, different 66 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 4: interpretations of it, and this is yet another one. And 67 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 4: according to people way smarter than me. The current movie 68 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: hewes much closer to Dante's version of the Odyssey, which 69 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 4: is a Christian version, than anything else. So I look 70 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 4: forward to seeing it, and I have tickets for Thursday, I 71 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 4: think Thursday Friday. 72 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: Don't remember which. I'll look to look that up. 73 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 4: But just the fact that it's existing as a conversation 74 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 4: piece is just again heartening to me. 75 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 76 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 4: I don't want to, you know, take off my game 77 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 4: face or my get off the war footing or whatever, 78 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: but there are definite signs that at least some of 79 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 4: the waves of far left Marxism and anti Americanism, anti 80 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 4: Western civilization, anti free markets, anti free speech, there are 81 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 4: signs that some of those waves appear to have what's 82 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: the expression, They've reached their high watermark on the beach 83 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: and are receding now as people are waking up to it, 84 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 4: including the Smithsonian thing schools. Are still going to be 85 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 4: an enormous fight, but more and more and more people 86 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: are aware, and that's the first step. If it'll be 87 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 4: en off, who knows, but that is the first step. 88 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 4: We bombed Iran for the eleventh night in a row. 89 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 4: We don't seem to be paying a lot of attention 90 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: to what it is exactly we're striking or where this 91 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 4: is leading. Of course, nobody knows that. Afternight, night after night, 92 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 4: nobody knows where this is leading. There is some talk 93 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 4: that maybe the countries around Iran are getting pretty fed 94 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: up with getting potshots at them all the time and 95 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 4: having to use their technology to try to shoot down 96 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 4: the drone. So I don't know which Saudi Arabian, Jordan 97 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 4: and everybody would get together and say let's finish this 98 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 4: once and for all. 99 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: That'd be awesome, I. 100 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 4: Think though, And I feel free to disagree Jack anybody 101 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 4: via email mailbag, and I'm strong in giddy dot com. 102 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 4: The only way you quote unquote when this is to 103 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 4: outlast Iran. They are counting on the fact that the 104 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: Trump in particular the West the Gulf States will tire 105 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 4: of the conflict before they do. Hunkered down in their bunkers, 106 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: starving their population. 107 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: Iran retaliated with launching missiles and drones toward US military 108 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 3: bases that we successfully deflected last night, But every now 109 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 3: and then they get through and kill US soldiers. As 110 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: we know. 111 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: What our stockpile is of the ability to shoot those down. 112 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: Who knows. That's one of the reasons Pete exists with 113 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 4: that asking for more money yesterday, I guess. And the 114 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: herring is it takes more money to fight this war. 115 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 4: It's tough when you're up against two parties where both 116 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 4: their constituencies don't like the war. 117 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: So that's a tough situation. Here's a I have to 118 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: read that. This is the headline. 119 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 4: William Shatner ninety five and his daughter who is sixty one, 120 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: both reveals stage four cancer diet diagnosiss at the same time. 121 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 4: Lord and some sort of press thing.

But no, an eighty 129 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 4: year old probably has sixty year old kids, unless you're 130 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 4: Mick Jagger with some ballet dancer or whatever, and you've 131 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 4: got an agreement.

Graham Plattner thought, Yeah, why it isn't 343 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 4: a bigger conversation that we have so many young, healthy 344 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: men not working that that's not a crisis. 345 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 3: I don't know. I think because a. 346 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 4: Lot of Americans aren't aware of it, and one political 347 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 4: party says yes, now they're totally dependent on us and 348 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 4: they will always always. 349 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: Vote for us. So we had a lot of different 350 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 3: stuff for you today. 351 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: As we mentioned earlier, Heather Myers touched on the fact 352 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 4: that there was a press conference yesterday from the federal 353 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 4: government getting into some of the fraud that was going 354 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: on specifically in Minnesota and California. 355 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 3: I'm sure it's all over the country. 356 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 4: California is king though, just like we're number one or 357 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 4: number fifty in everything, and it's always the bad number, 358 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 4: whichever it is, depending on how they're ranking it, like 359 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 4: we're number one for fraud, but number fifty for education, 360 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 4: that sort of thing. But some of the examples lots 361 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 4: of dead people registered in Minnesota, specifically three thousand dead 362 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 4: people they had to kick off. The roles I guess 363 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: in home supportive services in California jumped at twice the 364 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 4: national growth rate across the country as people have figured out, oh, 365 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 4: if you claim somebody you're taking care of someone, nobody 366 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 4: checks on that, and you can get a check constantly, 367 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 4: And I'm sure that's true. Who's going to come to 368 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 4: your house and verify that you're taking care of somebody 369 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: who's sick. But here's the one I wanted to bring up, 370 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 4: just because I don't quite understand what this is. An 371 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 4: explosive growth in skin substitutes and wound care. Do you 372 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 4: have any idea what that is. Congressional hearings highlighted a 373 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 4: seventy one hundred, seven hundred percent. That's a big spike 374 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 4: in Medicare Medicaid claims for skin substitutes in wound care 375 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 4: over the last six years, going from two hundred million 376 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 4: dollars a year to almost fifteen billion dollars. People are 377 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 4: soaking the federal taxpayer for wound care. Officials detailed cases 378 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 4: where providers build for repeated clinically necessary applications were charged 379 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 4: for high end graft products that were never actually applied 380 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 4: to patients. 381 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 3: So they just. 382 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 4: Found a particular aspect of our healthcare system to bill on. 383 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 4: And then I guess, other people, how did you get 384 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 4: so much money wounds claim? You need a skin draft? 385 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 4: Nobody checks and then so that vers got out of hand. 386 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 4: And then but you know, you'll you'll crack down on 387 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: this one and it'll be a different one. 388 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 3: Toenail fungus claim. 389 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,199 Speaker 4: It's toenail fungus, you know, whatever it is, and you 390 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: get federal money for it. Got the size, that's just 391 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 4: the scope of a fraud. You can't comprehend these amounts 392 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 4: of money I get there squandered, and there aren't even 393 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 4: checks right, or there haven't been until now. This is 394 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 4: the perfect example of Trump makes me insane. But my gosh, 395 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 4: the administration is doing some great things. If there's one 396 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 4: thing I could get going across America for lefties would 397 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 4: be convincing them to about waste because you're the people 398 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 4: that actually care about the downtrodden. You want money for 399 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 4: the downtrodden. It's being stolen, so stop it from being 400 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 4: stolen and give it to the downtrodden. 401 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 3: Get lefties to care about this, but for some reason 402 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 3: you can't. 403 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well, I'm glad they're cracking down. I'm gonna 404 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 4: try and build a government for wound care today. See 405 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: if I can get mine and full of all other stories. 406 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 4: Is anybody following the judges blocking the paramounted Warner anti 407 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 4: trust the merger thingy? It's absolutely ridiculous. This judge is 408 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 4: a rule that no if if a paramount Skydants buys 409 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 4: Warner Brothers, and that will not be nearly enough, they'll 410 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 4: have a combined twenty seven percent market share for wide 411 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 4: release theatrical distribution movie theaters. Excuse me, it sneezing, which 412 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 4: actually is less than the percentage Disney has right now. 413 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 4: But we're in a new era of bipartisan You've got 414 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: to bribe the government to let you do business, and 415 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 4: it's ridiculous. Yeah, it's just I never read the second 416 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 4: sentence of those stories, because yeah, yeah, I just And 417 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: the idea that movie theaters is the movie industry right now, 418 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 4: or the entertainment industry right now, is practically hilarious. It's 419 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 4: like saying roller rinks or I don't know, the entire 420 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: sports industry in America's it's not true anymore anyway, Stop it, 421 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 4: stop it. Free markets, free markets. Friends, Let's see what 422 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 4: else do we have. Oh, I just read this. Tesla, 423 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 4: which is simplifying its car business and de emphasizing its 424 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 4: car business, has fewer models in its lineup than it 425 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 4: has in ears. It's given a lot of ground to 426 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 4: Chinese competition, Chinese electric cars. It's still is valued at 427 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 4: greater than the next thirty seven car makers combined. 428 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 3: Wow, I did not know that. Yeah. 429 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, Tesla's held the title the world's most valuable automaker 430 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 4: for several years, even as the sales have cooled off. 431 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 3: As we were just describing. 432 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a confusing car company because they stopped making 433 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 4: their flagship model, the Tesla S model. 434 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: They stopped making it two years ago. 435 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 4: Investors continue to bet on Tesla's ability to deliver truly 436 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: self driving vehicles and humanoid robots. Though, so is it 437 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 4: a car company or is it just a technology slash 438 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 4: machines company. Clearly the latter, and people are invested. So 439 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 4: I don't feel like there's a hunger for the self 440 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,239 Speaker 4: driving car. I never heard anybody talk about it. 441 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 3: I don't know. 442 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 4: I don't think I know a single person other than 443 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 4: me who does it on a regular basis. 444 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 3: I do it every day. 445 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 4: I did it all the way to work today, shile 446 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 4: my texts and doing all kinds of stuff while my 447 00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 4: card drom. 448 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: But I don't know anybody else that talks about it. 449 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: I saw a Cadillac ad the other night that was 450 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 3: touting their celt tras lots of ads, not actual people, 451 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: though that tell me that they do it.

My English teacher 464 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 3: in high school taught me that stuff is a good word. 465 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: That's an excellent word. S just as stiff as us? 466 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 4: Is this a Steve Jobsian phenomenon where people don't know 467 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 4: what they want until you give it to them. 468 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 3: It they love it. 469 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 4: It was for me I had no desire for a 470 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 4: self driving car, and now I use it every single 471 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: time I get in my car.

I can see 514 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 4: the New York Times saying that to discredit people who 515 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 4: are right by calling Nick flint Is, I'm not. I 516 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 4: consider myself right.

But gosh, maybe 613 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 4: recent college grads, who apparently will fall for anything, would 614 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 4: be a better target. They just don't have quite as 615 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 4: much money. Here's your freedom loving quote of today. Continuing 616 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 4: our series on Iran, Salomon Rushti says, in any authoritarian society, 617 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: the possessor of power dictates, and if you try and 618 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 4: step outside, he will come after you. This is equally 619 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 4: true of Sovietism. Keeps that in mind, kids of China 620 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 4: and of Iran, and in our time. It's happened a 621 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,000 Speaker 4: lot in Islam. The point is that it's worse when 622 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 4: the authoritarianism is supported by something supernatural. 623 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 3: Good point. Oh one eye salmon Rushdi knows all about that, 624 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: I'd say, does, Yeah, it's interesting. Right next door is 625 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 3: a quote from Tucker Carlson. I do think, and I'm 626 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: sure I'm the lone voice in saying this, that Iran 627 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 3: deserves to be annihilated. I think they're lunatics. I think 628 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 3: they're evil. That was obviously before his current grift. That 629 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: was in his old. 630 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 4: Grift mailbag Drubs Note mailbag and Armstrong and Getty dot 631 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 4: Com Drew Wrights, Hello, Jackson and Joseph.

Today, my 633 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 4: business partner called me to tell me you received a 634 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 4: letter from US Bank and a collection agency had put a 635 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 4: levey on our account. I called the number provided and 636 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 4: was on hold for three full hours before they got 637 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 4: on the line to inform me that I owe the 638 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 4: county I lived in one hundred and eight dollars for 639 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 4: something that the collection agency wasn't able to tell me. 640 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 4: Keeping in mind I moved nearly sixteen years ago. I've 641 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 4: never received a letter, a phone caller, any kind of communication. 642 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 3: That I owed this money. That is California in a nutshell. 643 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 4: It's government and nut But but when they're in charge 644 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 4: of your healthcare and Mayrimum Donnie, when they're your landlord, 645 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 4: when they're in charge of getting you food to put 646 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 4: in your. 647 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 3: Mouth, they'll be great at it. 648 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 4: Long This is one of our more cerebrally emails of 649 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 4: recent day. Just Steve Wright, I've listened to your show 650 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: for many years now. I feel it has informed my 651 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 4: belief system. 652 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 3: It goes like this. 653 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 4: Whether you are an atheist, I'm sorry. Whether you are 654 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 4: a theist or an atheist, man's natural state is to suffer. 655 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 4: As an atheist, you must believe that suffering is descriptive. 656 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 4: But as a theist, particularly a Christian, the suffering is prescriptive. 657 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 4: That is how God is using your suffering to draw 658 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 4: you closer to him. 659 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 3: Okay, don't get hung up on that. 660 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 4: An atheist suffer simply because man is in a constant 661 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 4: state of survival of the fittest. Anyway, most man's problems 662 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 4: are our unwillingness to accept our natural state and our 663 00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,800 Speaker 4: beliefs that life should be lived without pain or suffering. True, 664 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 4: we gravitate to socialism as a panacea to avoid work, competition, struggle, 665 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 4: et cetera. We gravitate away from God because we no 666 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 4: longer have years to hear God calling us.
