1 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 1: Propaesome put to buy by these countries differing so much 2 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: in race and religion, in language, and. 3 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: It is a big idea, a new world order. 4 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: Well, I know they're lying. They tricked me once, but 5 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: they're not going to trick me twice. The time is now. 6 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Professor Penn Podcast. David Penn, your host. 7 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Glad to be with you as always on this Thursday night, 8 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: the thirty first of July. 9 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeh, that's correct. We're pre recording on the thirtieth. 10 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: Good morning, mister Tanner. Good morning, mister Tanner. Tried to 11 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: me astray and I pivoted definitely to the truth. Fantastic. 12 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: I'm glad to be with you. This is a episode 13 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: number again, twenty five. I'm very pleased to have in 14 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: studio again candidate for Governor of the Great State of Minnesota, 15 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Phil Parish. Welcome back, Phil, Thank you. 16 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: I'm happy to be here again. 17 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm very excited. I was thinking about, well, what are 18 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: we going to talk about now, because I have to, 19 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, come up with some ideas, and a lot 20 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: of times when we have guests, because it's so Minnesota centric, 21 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: we lose some of our national viewers. If you're national, 22 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: if you're not in Minnesota, hang in here, because we're 23 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: going to be talking about really important issues for every state. 24 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: And I want to frame out this conversation today to 25 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: start out as if you are the governor of the 26 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: Great stated, you have won the election, but the Democrats 27 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: have maintained their control of the Minnesota House and Senate. 28 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: So we have a new Republican governance in the governor's seat, 29 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: but you have a government or around you that is 30 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: opposed to you. Okay, this happens in many states. Correctly, 31 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: this is not an infrequent thing. We may see this 32 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: nationally in the midterms where Donald Trump is the president. 33 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: But if we don't get our game organized here in 34 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: the Republican side, we may find ourselves no longer in 35 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: the majority in the House. For example, what does a 36 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: chief executive? What is your plan? Because you must be 37 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: thinking about things. What can you do when your hands 38 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: are semitied? What is and then we'll talk about what 39 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: you could do if you had legislative control. But what 40 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: can a governor do when their hands are basically tied? 41 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: What is your plan for that? 42 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: It's interesting question because I've been researching a lot. I've 43 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 2: been writing about the first one hundred days, and that 44 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: came about because of programs like this, and because of 45 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: some forums that I participated in in some town hall 46 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: meetings and people asking for substance. So what about how 47 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: can you or what are you going to do? And 48 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: what's interesting is I'm discovering as I research and prepare 49 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: for in that first one hundred days, what can I 50 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: do with executive orders, what statutes are applicable to support me, 51 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: What precedents do we have in court? And I'm finding 52 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 2: more and more ways to actually with substance say to people, Yeah, 53 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: the governor can do a lot. And so there are 54 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: legal precedents, there is statute, there is executive authorities that 55 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: can be exercised, and one of those is, for example, 56 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: just exercising the fact that shouldn't be playing in girls' sports, 57 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: and we can back that up in court and we'll win. 58 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: But in bringing the flag back, for some reason, bringing 59 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: the flag back, which sounds really miniscule to all the concerns, 60 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: but bringing the Minnesota flagback has actually caught fire on 61 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: social media and it's pretty exciting because it's more than 62 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: just a flag. To a lot of people, it represents 63 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: a systemic issue in our state where the people's voice 64 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: has not been heard and it's been stamped out. But 65 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 2: so we have a legislation that is primarily Democrat, say 66 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: that happens. What is interesting I have found in this 67 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: narrative that I've started with regards to it's not about 68 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: right and left. It's not about red versus blue. It's 69 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: about right and wrong. There are Democrats out there that 70 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 2: understand that things are wrong. We have bureaucrats who have 71 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: been in office forever, and then that second level management, 72 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: and then those or are just trying to get their 73 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: job done. They can see that something's wrong. It's just 74 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 2: out of control. And that group of people I'm counting 75 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: on if we were a say we have a controlled 76 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: by the Democrats' House and Senate, I'm counting on that 77 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: group of people knowing that if they had somebody that 78 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: has their back, they'd speak up a bit and stop 79 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: following the leader of this national agenda and be more 80 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: sensitive and open to people In Minnesota. 81 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: I think that the national agenda has been significantly blunted 82 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: by the Trump administration, but I don't think it's that 83 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: significant yet in Minnesota. And you know, I think Minnesota 84 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: is a bastion of leftism. It is a center. It 85 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: is like the incubator of these ideas. For example, our 86 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: election laws here in Minnesota, where we just had the 87 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: thing with the Secretary of State signments that he would 88 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: not turn over the voter rolls to the federal government 89 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: that requested to review them. And you know, I'm a 90 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: policy wonk. I read the federal election law and I 91 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: was reading through it and I said, man, this seems 92 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: rather familiar. It's Minnesota's election laws. So if we get 93 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: an all Democrat program going here, sometime in an unfortunate future, 94 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota being the incubator of leftist ideas, our election system 95 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: would become the federal system. And just for those of 96 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: you who would like to take a small I don't know, 97 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 1: just a bit of history. You know, Amy Klobshire or Senator. 98 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: She sponsors bills like, you know, we need more air 99 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: traffic controllers and small you know, we're going to beautify 100 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: the lake shore of Lake Superior. I mean, she's very 101 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: careful about what she does because she is harboring significant ambition. 102 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: But she did come out to sponsor the sole sponsor 103 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: of the federal election law and had Camilla Harris won 104 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: and had the Democrats had control of the House and 105 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: the Senate, Minnesota's election law would have been federalized. So 106 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: we're sitting in a state for some set of reasons, 107 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: which we could discuss downstream tonight, like why is the 108 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: state this way? I want to get to that, but 109 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: I want to stay kind of locked in on that 110 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 1: first hundred days even and let's forget about the House 111 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: and the Senate. Let's what what are your priorities and 112 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: what And I'm going to say this as a constituent man. 113 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: We need some leadership here in Minnesota, because when you're 114 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: lost in the woods, someone's got to show up and 115 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: say follow me. Where am I following you at? 116 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we can reduce taxes, and we will reduce taxes. 117 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: We can put a free on all mandates and make 118 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 2: sure that we back off of these nonsensical regulations. We 119 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: can call the House a special session if necessary to 120 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 2: reduce taxes. If they're not going to follow some executive orders, 121 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: we'll bring the whether it's controlled by whoever, we'll call 122 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: a special session and make sure we reduce taxes. A 123 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 2: lot of people argue about some really bold ideas of 124 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: just why is there any gas tax or why is 125 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: there any this tax? But we can start with a 126 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: more sensible approach. We don't need the Social Security tax 127 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: on our seniors. We don't need to play this game 128 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: with Essentially, Minnesota has created a game with our seniors 129 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 2: in Minnesota who take a lot of revenue down south. 130 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: And that's just a fact. It doesn't have to be 131 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: that way. They don't have to be in that game 132 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 2: playing with the state revenues and taxes. We can also 133 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: make sure that these property taxes are leveled off and 134 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: flattened out. Because some would like to completely remove property 135 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: tax I think that's an awesome goal because there's a 136 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: whole nother discussion or rabbit hole you and I could 137 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: get into with regards to servitude that our government has 138 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 2: put us in and do we really own our property 139 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: or not. But taxes can be reduced because we will 140 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: actually implement a strategy to completely do more than Doze 141 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: ever dreamed of in Minnesota. With regards to removing this overhead. 142 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 2: The amount of money Minnesota spends on overhead or what 143 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: I would call overhead and just running a business cost 144 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 2: it's just unacceptable, it's insane. If you and I were 145 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: approached with operating a budget the way that they do that, 146 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: they we'd be laughed out of the bank, We'd be 147 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 2: laughed out of the room. What are you doing? You 148 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: can't run a business like that, and so why we 149 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: letting them get away with it? And it is about 150 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 2: leadership and setting the tone. It is about just calling 151 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: people out on simple things like Okay, here's your legislation 152 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: and there's fee, fee, fee, fee. All right, take it back, 153 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: remove the word fee. Every time you've used the word fee. 154 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: Put in tax. Now, come back to me with it 155 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: and read it to me now with the word tax 156 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: instead of fees. I know that sounds rather simplistic, but 157 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: that's a very basic way of telling you knock it off. 158 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 2: Stop it. You're bleeding people to death with all these 159 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: different ideas to lie to them about taking their hard 160 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: earned money and doing what with it. Hundreds of millions 161 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: an hour over billions of dollars of fraud in Minnesota. 162 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: So it can be done. And it's about conversations about 163 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: being honest with people and pulling people aside and saying 164 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 2: whether you're a Democrat or Republican, I don't care anymore. 165 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: I really don't care. I want people to come to 166 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: the office and say, listen, here's where we're at, this 167 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: road that bridge, this public services program, here's the bottom line, 168 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: and here's how you can make it better. And those 169 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: kinds of sensible things are things that you just you 170 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: learn how to do because of necessity. And for too long, 171 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 2: government officials and bureaucrats have gotten this magic idea of 172 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: magic money that exists on a spreadsheet or a reconciliation statement, 173 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: and it's so far out of touch with the reality 174 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 2: of everyday citizens and running their checkbook. Someone like myself, 175 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: who's had to cope with my own personal budgets, national budgets, 176 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: military budgets, private organization budget, I can see pretty quickly 177 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: who's lying to who and who's making up stuff. 178 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: So let me just let me just summarize, because I 179 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: want to make sure I'm tracking correctly. Because my question, 180 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: my opening bid was what would you do if you 181 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: were the governor but you didn't have control, you know, republic, control, 182 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 1: House and Senate. And then I said, well, let's just 183 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: talk about the first hundred days. And what you said was, 184 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: there's you're spending a lot of time researching what executive 185 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: authority you will be able to wield in case you 186 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: don't have legislative support. Obviously, even if you have legislative 187 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: support allegedly doesn't mean that you will, which is a 188 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: whole other rabbit hole to tumble on down. But what 189 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: you're saying is, and I want to try to translate 190 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: this for myself, you're saying that, Am I right in 191 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 1: interpreting that in your travels? Because what you're doing is 192 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: you're talking to voters. Am I hearing correctly that the 193 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: voters primary concern is related to the finances of the 194 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: state and the tax levels that they are settled with 195 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: here in Minnesota? Is that what you're finding as you travel? 196 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the two top topics are tell me the truth 197 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 2: and tell me how you're going to fix taxes. Everything 198 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 2: from gas tax to property tax, especially property tax. Property 199 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: tax comes up every day, and people are being saddled 200 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 2: with the load of state revenues that they really aren't 201 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 2: responsible for any part of It's disconnected from any part 202 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 2: of their daily lives. They're getting frustrated to the point 203 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: where they're just throwing their hands up. Some people are 204 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 2: actually so frustrated they're just moving out of the state. 205 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: Okay, so the opening fifteen minutes, you're researching these executive 206 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: orders to understand the power. So you go in ready 207 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: to rock with a plant. You talked about the gender 208 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: issue in the males planning and females. You can just 209 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: stop that, right, and you're saying that that's just not right, 210 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: not left. It's not red not blue, it's just a 211 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: common sense thing where we have brought bipartisans support for 212 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: fixing this because it's an agenda that is widely opposed 213 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: across the full spectrum of politics. Is that a true statement. 214 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's going to fall apart on them anyway. 215 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: The landscape is changing, and it's in tune with the 216 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 2: people's needs and what the people are desiring because the 217 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 2: financial backing of pushing these agendas is falling apart. People 218 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: can say whatever they want about where we're at with 219 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: the national level and agendas and decisions, but the issues 220 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 2: that are coming forward, and I see a landscape changing 221 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: dramatically coming into twenty twenty six, everything from voter roles 222 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 2: to executive authorities to judicial changes. I'm seeing a real 223 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 2: evidence on the ground of changes in people's paradigm. And 224 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: when you take away all that illicit money that's been 225 00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: funding the agendas like the transgender and the boys in 226 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: girl sports. When you take all that illicit money away, 227 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 2: that the agenda falls apart because they're not getting that 228 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: push on legacy media, and they're not getting that push 229 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 2: on paid for activists and paid for legislators. It starts 230 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: to fall apart when they don't have the money. 231 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: When you say illicit elictit h could you just be a. 232 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 2: Little more so ilicit funds In my definition of illicit 233 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: money pushing these legislators and these bureaucrats. It's a large 234 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 2: people with really deep pockets, and a lot of them 235 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: were connected to the illicit funding through USAID for example, 236 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: and it's not over. They're still finding ways to funnel 237 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: money through different government federal sponsored programs. The primary focus 238 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: around all the fraud in Minnesota is a lot to 239 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: do with all these LLCs and all these shell companies 240 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: and layered companies to hide the real actors in the back, 241 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 2: and the real actors in the background are getting their 242 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: money through preordained ways to get it through federal funding. 243 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: So that I call that illicit because the taxpayer does 244 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 2: not have vision of or transparency into how or why 245 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: that's happening, so that those illicit funds get directed the 246 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: way that very small group of people choose to direct 247 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 2: it and choose to emphasize and amplify specific agendas or ideas. 248 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 2: When that money is stifled or stopped or at least 249 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: choked a bit, other people like yourself and your podcast, 250 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: my program, hundreds of programs across I'm on Minnesota, Lady 251 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: here coming up in a week or two, I'm on 252 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: her podcast. More of us are getting our message out 253 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: because there's not as much noise in the room. And 254 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: so these people that have been amplifying all these agendas 255 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: with what I call illicit funding, where you're lying to 256 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: the tax payer about where your money is, where the 257 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 2: money is going. That's illicit funding to me. 258 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: Because it's not transparent. 259 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: Correct. 260 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 1: So the number one, I mean, I'm interested in this 261 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: because what I'm hearing, and I'm gonna make sure I 262 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: get this right. When you're talking to a lot of 263 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: people and they're focused on the money, right, yep, Does 264 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: anybody make the jump to government's just too damn big 265 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: and we've lost our ability to self governed? Have we 266 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: moved it from the material to the spiritual where people 267 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: are taking responsibility for their own self governance, that they 268 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: want to recover their own self governance. Is that come 269 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: up any place people talk about. 270 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: That, Yes, they do, and they are in my view, 271 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: and it's based on evidence of going around talking to people. 272 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: The legacy media is so far off track with this 273 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:02,399 Speaker 2: subject that it's actually helping my discussions about this topic 274 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 2: because people are really truly seeing, Yeah, the government is 275 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: so big and so out of control that they can't 276 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 2: even see straight. They don't even care anymore as to 277 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 2: how bad it is. They just know it's bad and 278 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: it has to be fixed. And this overreach and this 279 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: bloated bureaucracy has to stop, and people are actively searching 280 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: for ways to stop it. I have people, I have 281 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: a group of people. I won't mention that gentleman's name, 282 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: not because it's a secret, but it's been inspiring me 283 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 2: to write an article or probably even a small pamphlet 284 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: about rethinking money. I have a couple of economist type 285 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: mentality people who are really pushing me with I We 286 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: were talking last night. I'll call him mister A. He'll 287 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: know who he is. We're talking last night for almost 288 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 2: an hour and a half, and he's really on me about, 289 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 2: you know, how our street and infrastructure are funded, and 290 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 2: why is there debt? Why are we if you can 291 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: print money, why are we printing money and circulating it 292 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 2: through programs? Why aren't we printing money and building bridges 293 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: and infrastructure? And it's with no debt. And you know 294 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 2: some of the discussion for this mister A and three 295 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 2: or four of his associates, you might get a little 296 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: bit lost in the concepts and lofty thinking, but it's 297 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: really not lofty thinking. You can't dismiss it because there's 298 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: precedents over hundreds of years of precedent. So how money 299 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: is working and why and how debt? One of the 300 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: most important things that he said to me, I said, 301 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 2: we're selling a little off a rabbit hole here. But 302 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: what has really caught my attention is changed my way 303 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 2: of thinking. Why if we print money to put into 304 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 2: circulation and then we get it to people through essentially 305 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 2: loans and debt, there's no money printed, you know, for 306 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: that program or that idea. The amount of currency printed 307 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: to deal with the debt or the interest payments is 308 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: not printed. Phil Oh, that's really interesting. Mister Hey, what 309 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: do you mean by that, well, essentially to put into 310 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: play currency, put it into the flow, only enough money 311 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: to deal with that initial concept. But then there isn't 312 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: money in that concept or that initial printing to actually 313 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: deal with the interest payments. I'm not sure if I'm explaining. 314 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: Oh, you're doing just fine, You're getting dangerously close to 315 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: the fat. 316 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: To keep going right. So you have to start thinking 317 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 2: about this and say, well, let's break it down into 318 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: practical terms. Mom and Papa are running the farm. We 319 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: have ten thousand dollars worth of cash flow going in 320 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 2: and out, but there is no currency or available currency, 321 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: even if we had it to actually repay some kind 322 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: of interest debt. And when you think about that concept, 323 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: as silly and simplistic as that may be, you start 324 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: to unpack a whole list of things from the state 325 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 2: and federal government as to why people really are confused 326 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 2: and struggling with money, because in some sense, there is 327 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: a tangible fact that the money is not there in 328 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 2: the first place. The money is just not there. It's 329 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 2: not in circulation, which then creates a whole list of 330 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: discussions we can have about interest rates and how the 331 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: economy starts to do. 332 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: But here in Minnesota, We're supposed to have a balanced budget, correct. 333 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 2: Isn't it funny how we have all these laws and 334 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: regulations that everybody wants to say, do this and do that, 335 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 2: but yet they can't follow their own regulations. 336 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: You know here on the podcast, and I know you 337 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: watch sometimes and thank you for doing it. You know, 338 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: I'm interested in politics, but I'm more interested in culture 339 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: because the culture politics is really just a barometer of 340 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: where the culture is at. And when I asked this question, 341 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,479 Speaker 1: are people interested in self governance? You know, we've got 342 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,919 Speaker 1: this Leviathan government in Minnesota and in the country. It's 343 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: supposed to deliver services. Okay, let's say it's delivering services. 344 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: Let's say it is okay, Well, then we're going to 345 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: have a pretty good conversation about Like you have a 346 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: farm and I'm buying you know, organic beef from your farm. 347 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: That's pretty good service. I want to pay for that. 348 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: But when the services start to decline and the cost 349 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: of running the business keeps going up, then you have 350 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: to say to yourself, Wow, something's not working here. I 351 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: went to have my driver's license renewed. And I'm not 352 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: picking on the Minnetonka The Ridgedale Service Center. I mean 353 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: it was nice, people were good. I was sitting there waiting, 354 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: you know how I felt. I had the exact same 355 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: feeling in that room that I do when I go 356 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: to the doctor's office. 357 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: I was just in the DMV. Yes, the exact same one. 358 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 3: And they told me an hour and a half to 359 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: get tabs. And I walked my happy ass out. I 360 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 3: was like, I'm not waiting that long. It does not 361 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 3: take that long. Like, how are we running this well? 362 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: You know, the real idea. I had to go get 363 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: a real idea. I had to get my drivers. They 364 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: don't have enough people. They had in the paper today 365 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: there's only twenty four people processing real idea applications and 366 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: you can't get them for ninety days. And I got 367 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: a fly at the end of August, and you know, 368 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm thinking to myself, you know, this is not very 369 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 1: well thought through and okay, so I think Donald Trump 370 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: is now starting to show at a federal level. And 371 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: I can say this because I'm involved in the international 372 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: trade and I do understand finance, international finance. I've been 373 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: doing it since eighty seven. And I read all these 374 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: different pundits and how they look at the tariffs and this, that, 375 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: thus and so, And I just say to myself, Okay, 376 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: you're evidencing to me a profound lack of experience in 377 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: this area. Because what he's doing is he's just looking 378 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: at the government and as the country as a business, 379 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: and he's looking at the balance sheet and he's going, wow, 380 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: we got outgo and no income. I can change that, 381 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: and he's changing it. But that doesn't deal with the 382 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: spending issue. But he is dealing with the revenue issue. 383 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: One could make the case that that's not that helpful 384 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: because it's a you know, tariff's are attacks on the people. 385 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: But when you're going broke, the first thing you want 386 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: to do is plug the hole. What's that saying the 387 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: fastest What is that about digging a hole? The fastest 388 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: way to get out a hole is quit digging it deeper, right, 389 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: So we've been quit digging, right. So you know he's 390 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: dealing with the first problem that comes up, Well, how 391 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: does that transfer into the state. 392 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's actually there's a lot of threads there 393 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 2: that are connected. And I do believe Donald Trump does 394 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 2: having a grasp on all the different pieces of this puzzle. 395 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 2: He really does play chess, and he's using the tariffs 396 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: too for leverage. And the people who are missing that 397 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: point economically and economic economists that missed the point of 398 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: using leverage and getting deals with He is a master 399 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: at making deals. He is a master at playing chess. 400 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: But he's changing the culture. He's changing the culture of 401 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: our national politics. 402 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: So then back to Minnesota. How does one of the 403 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 2: things that I've been successful at in several of the 404 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: businesses that have hired me to come and fix where 405 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: we're at. The first big business that I actually helped 406 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 2: fix the when they when they hired me, I'll call 407 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 2: him mister b I'll just say Brent, Brent. If you're 408 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: out there, Brent, God bless you. 409 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: Man. Hey, Brent, nice to meet you. 410 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 2: He brings me everybody. One of the first things he 411 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 2: said was phil keep me out of jail. That's a 412 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 2: pretty odd thing to say right after an interview keeping 413 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 2: So anyway, so you have this where an organization's at 414 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 2: and where it needs to be. You can come in 415 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 2: with all guns loaded and get you know, appear to 416 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 2: get a lot done and end up nowhere and back 417 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 2: in the same shape. Or you can take what's working, 418 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: what is working well and then try to move the 419 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: organization keeping that continuity and what's working well in place 420 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 2: while you actually fix the real problem. And the real 421 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: problem is Minnesota, for example, is with the real ID. 422 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 2: They have a culture of farming out so much work 423 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 2: and farming out so much stuff to packs and industries 424 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 2: and LLCs to other people that are the gurus and 425 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,400 Speaker 2: the persons that can fix this. They farm it out 426 00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: to all these different people and organizations, and repeatedly those 427 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 2: organizations disappoint or fail or end up being fraudulent. And 428 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: that's part of why we're in this cultural issue of 429 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 2: farming things out to NGOs that are simply fraudulent. They 430 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 2: have no intention of actually fixing the issue. The more 431 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 2: and more I talk to people across the state and 432 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 2: then a few of these bureaucratic low level and mid 433 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: level people are reaching out to me. They have real 434 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 2: experience and real knowledge about how to fix what's going 435 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 2: on within their own departments, with their own agencies, and 436 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 2: we can tap into that and assure that in house 437 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 2: we have good people that are really smart. They understand 438 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 2: the problems economically, they understand the problems why the services 439 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 2: aren't getting to the right people. They understand why the 440 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 2: autism and disability funding is being manipulated and squandered. They 441 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 2: understand how and why the home care health industry is 442 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 2: getting manipulated squandered. And these good mid level to entry 443 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 2: level people that are smart enough to see this right away. 444 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 2: They just need somebody to support them and back them 445 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: up and give them a way forward. And we have 446 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: the answers right here in Minnesota, and there's a lot 447 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 2: of hope across the state with these people that are 448 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,479 Speaker 2: reaching out to me. You know, too many people in 449 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 2: the industry or in politics or in the know, they 450 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 2: immediately look at someone because of how they're addressed or 451 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 2: how they speak, they immediately dismiss them as well, not relevant. 452 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: You just don't know what you're talking about. But if 453 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 2: you stop and you listen to these people, they know 454 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: exactly what's going on. The housing industry, fraud stuff. There's 455 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: a lot of mid level people there. They know exactly 456 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: what's wrong. I was up in Little Falls and the 457 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 2: county commissioner, the only one that was at the meeting. 458 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: He was going into some depth about SNAP and Medicaid 459 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: and stuff, and what was interesting, although he wasn't using 460 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: that to expose this by accident. He brought to the 461 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: surface how his office and his staff are going to 462 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: have to make some changes to assure that things get 463 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 2: done properly. Well, whether that was an intentional outcome or not, 464 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: I can't say, you know from the federal regulations, but 465 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: he's onto something and people are going to have to 466 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: change and do business differently to assure that they're not 467 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 2: getting exploited. So these agencies, these mid level people, the 468 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: commonality is we can fix this internally, and we have good, 469 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: smart people. There's a glimmer of hope going across Minnesota 470 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: in multiple different areas financially services. Because you're right to 471 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: your point, if we're not providing the service, if it's 472 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: not actually having a proper outcome. 473 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: What's the point. So well, I want to just I 474 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: want to try to dial into this to make it 475 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: really focused. Is said something that perked my interest, said 476 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: that when you tip took over an organization to heal it, 477 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: so to speak, the first thing you want to say 478 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: is what's working. What's working, because you don't want to 479 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: mess with it. If it's working, what's working in the 480 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: state of Minnesota from your perspective, in Minnesota as a state, 481 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: as a culture. But let's start with government in government, 482 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: in government in Minnesota, what actually is from your perspective, 483 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: a factive that's really worth funding and is doing the 484 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: job it's intended to do. 485 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: It's a great question and it is a hard thread 486 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: to pull on. So, although this might sound a little abstract, 487 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: but the one thing that is working in taking advantage 488 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 2: of Minnesotans. We are a generous, good hearted, hardworking bunch. 489 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: We really are, and to me, that is the majority 490 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 2: of Minnesota. So although that doesn't sound like a mechanical 491 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 2: piece of the puzzle, it's more of a philosophical piece 492 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 2: of the piece. But the bottom line is to capitalize 493 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 2: on those good, hardworking, decent people that know right from 494 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: wrong and amplify their voice, and amplify their courage and 495 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 2: their willingness to work hard and help them with a 496 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 2: way to make things more efficient and more effective. The 497 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 2: things that are working. 498 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 1: Oh so I want to make sure I'm getting this right. 499 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: So you're saying what's working in the state, The backbone 500 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: of what's working is the people. We have a good 501 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: stock of people here and they're hardworking, and they're carrying 502 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: and they're generous and of course we live in a 503 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 1: beautiful state, which is also an asset of living here. 504 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: The natural environment here is outstanding. So the backbone of 505 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: what's working from your perspective if from getting this right. 506 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,959 Speaker 1: And I added in the beauty of the state because 507 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: it is a wonderful place to live from a physical 508 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: beauty perspective of natural perspective. The people are good. We 509 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: have good people here, we do Okay, So that's what 510 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: you want to work. And you're saying you want to 511 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: amplify the voice of those people and the efforts of 512 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,959 Speaker 1: those people and spread that goodness more widely throughout the state. Okay, 513 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: how do you do it? 514 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 2: So in a couple of organizations, initially in my young 515 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: in my administrative career, that message, whether I articulated it 516 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: or not, that message was in my head and heart somewhere, 517 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: and so my effort was to help those people really 518 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 2: focus on and spend their energy on the things that 519 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 2: are that they do well in their program. The particular 520 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 2: school that I was helping was it's Geri Treatment Programs. 521 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 2: There was wonderful things that they're doing for children, and 522 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: there's wonderful programming ideas that philosophical, cultural, niche that they 523 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: were fitting. We can't lose that. And the dozens of 524 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 2: people that were actually part of that thread or that 525 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 2: fabric I knew we couldn't. We couldn't lose them. We 526 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 2: had to maintain that. Yes they had problems, Yes they 527 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 2: had their own little things that had to be corrected, 528 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 2: and no, this is not compliant with some basic standards. 529 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 2: But if you supported them and had them focus on 530 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: what they're doing right, It's kind of like a sports analogy. 531 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: If I envision making the basket, and I practice making 532 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: the basket, and I keep on manifesting that I'm going 533 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: to win it, you start to win. And so these 534 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: basic concepts of how we deal with the staffing and 535 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: how we deal with the programming, and how we deal 536 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 2: with managing delivering services. If you fixate on what's wrong 537 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 2: all the time, you're going to manifest more wrong. If 538 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: you fixate on what is going on, well, the things 539 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 2: that are going wrong become less of an amplification and 540 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: the things that are going right become more and more 541 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 2: manifesting success. You have to correct what is wrong, You 542 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 2: have to point out what is wrong, but you have 543 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 2: to help people fixate and project and manifest what is 544 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,359 Speaker 2: good and just and right, and so much of our 545 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 2: state and the legacy media they constantly fixate. This a 546 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 2: little off topic, but the mayor thing with Minneapolis, what 547 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 2: is everybody focused on the worst person the worst personality 548 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 2: of the worst culture. And I'm not talking about race, color, creed. 549 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 2: I'm talking about just intellectually and morally broken ideologies on 550 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 2: national TV, a local TV, a local If you fixate 551 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 2: on these intellectually and morally broken concepts and ideologies because 552 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 2: you're getting clicks and you know, clickbait, I call it, 553 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,319 Speaker 2: you're going to get more of this same. But if 554 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 2: you focus on the Michael Jordan's, if you focus on 555 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 2: the you know, the Alan Pages of Minnesota, if you 556 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 2: focus on, you know, the people that are actually successful 557 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 2: and doing things good, you can start to manifest things that. 558 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 2: And again, I know that sounds philosophical and a little 559 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 2: abstract of people, but it's a basic principle of our 560 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 2: human condition. If we fixate on what's right and just, 561 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 2: we'll work towards what's right and just. If we fixate 562 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 2: on what's corrupt and negative, we're going to manifest more 563 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,439 Speaker 2: corruption and all that. 564 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 1: That's a very almost that's a spiritual comp. 565 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 3: Have you ever read the book as a man? Thinketh 566 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 3: that that book is essentially what you are talking about. 567 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 3: That we are our thoughts. So if we focus on 568 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 3: the negatives or we're constantly trying to fix problems, well 569 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 3: I guess that can be a good thing. But like 570 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 3: you know, what I mean is like, if you're constantly 571 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,840 Speaker 3: focusing on the negative, everything is going to be negative. 572 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: Yep, that's what that's I think what feels talking about 573 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: what is really working in the state, which is a 574 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: great population of hard work and good people. You know, 575 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: there's people listing all over the country and every state 576 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: has a similarity in this respect. The state delivers certain 577 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: core services. Let's just go over them for a seconds 578 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: so everybody knows. I don't want to get down into 579 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: the weeds. I'm talking about the major domains of a 580 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: state government activity. Can you list them out for me 581 00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: so I understand what you see them as. It's budget, 582 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 1: It's in the budget, But I mean that budget reflects 583 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: those governing priorities. What do you think they are? What 584 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: are they to you? 585 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 2: It could sound a little biased, but all I really 586 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 2: care about as a as a father, as a farmer, 587 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: as an administrator, as a people trying to help my community. 588 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 2: All I really care about from the state level is 589 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 2: help me with our roads, help me with our infrastructure, 590 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 2: help us with some basic decent and see in medical 591 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 2: access to money. 592 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:09,200 Speaker 1: So we got we got infrastructure, health and human services, right, medical, 593 00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,279 Speaker 1: anything else you want to add to the mix. 594 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 2: And there is a national security issue, whether people want 595 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: to face it or not. Law enforcement and national security. 596 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 2: Local security is a big deal, and too many people 597 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: want to ignore that. We have a percentage of small 598 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 2: percentage of people among us who really are ill intended 599 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 2: and they are trying to cause harm. So security, it 600 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 2: is a big deal, whether it's local and or national. 601 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 1: Okay, So the security piece, the medical piece, and then 602 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: the infrastructure piece. Education in there also education. 603 00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 2: The money should follow the child. And we have a 604 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 2: lot of wonderful people out there with amazing ideas that 605 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 2: do really good stuff with kids. And if it just 606 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 2: if we just get over ourselves in this national education 607 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 2: agenda and this centralized power agenda and let people thrive 608 00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 2: and just more of an open market concept, people would 609 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: really learn quickly what is successful in education and what 610 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 2: is not. 611 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,439 Speaker 1: But let's take these four domains. I want to start 612 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: with the one I suspect you have a great deal 613 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: of insight into at a state level as the chief 614 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 1: executive officer of the state. Let's talk about this national 615 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:36,240 Speaker 1: security issue and local issues as it relates to Minnesota. 616 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,959 Speaker 1: What's working in the state right now, and how would 617 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,360 Speaker 1: you take what's working and optimize it. You know, you know, 618 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm choosing my words very careful, building on what we're 619 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: talking about. I'm not saying let's focus on the problems. 620 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what works and how do we optimize 621 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: it so it's more effective. 622 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 2: So law enforcement again, what works is you have a 623 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 2: lot of good people who are really well intended and 624 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,520 Speaker 2: they do good work. They work hard, amplifying their ability 625 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 2: to not have to worry about some counterproductive agendas or 626 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 2: counterproductive narratives, and just help them fiscally and more to 627 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 2: be more efficient and responsible and responsive to their community. 628 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 2: Health organizations have been way too centralized, and this whole 629 00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 2: concept about centralizing into this conglomerate where there's some kind 630 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: of unheard of control in the distance somewhere. It clearly 631 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 2: hasn't worked. It has to stop. And the thing that 632 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,439 Speaker 2: does work is the community hospitals and the community. There's 633 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,880 Speaker 2: doctors out there right now that are starting their own 634 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 2: that are getting no recognition whatsoever, that are starting their 635 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: own community based health programs and infrastructure. Why are we 636 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,160 Speaker 2: spending so much time I was doing some research in 637 00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 2: the last couple of days with yes, we have an 638 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 2: abri abreviated season for construction, abbreviated season for having it. 639 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 2: And yes, our environment here in Minnesota makes things really 640 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 2: complicated with maintaining infrastructure. But why aren't some of the 641 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 2: innovations that I've seen and heard about through text messages 642 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 2: and emails. Why aren't some of those innovative ideas getting 643 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 2: to the surface. Is it because of the bureaucracy getting 644 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 2: in the way? Is it because regulation getting in the way. 645 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 2: But we have wonderful people with wonderful ideas about everything 646 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 2: from the types of materials to use with roads and 647 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 2: bridges and communications. What somebody needs to put their ego 648 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 2: aside with regards to communications of broadband? Why aren't they 649 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 2: using starlink? So all of these concepts. If you put 650 00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 2: your egos aside and just start looking at practical ways 651 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 2: to solve problems, a lot of these good things that 652 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,319 Speaker 2: people do and have knowledge about can be brought to 653 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 2: the surface and tried, And is somebody going to do 654 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 2: something wrong? Is somebody going to make a decision. Sure, 655 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,759 Speaker 2: it'll happen, but is that any worse than what we're experiencing. 656 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:10,319 Speaker 2: So again, it's about philosophical pieces tied to natural like 657 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,959 Speaker 2: tangible things like this product works and that product doesn't. 658 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 2: Why are we building a road this way with this 659 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 2: base that constantly has a problem in this part of 660 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 2: the country with regards to temperatures and thawing and freezing. 661 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 2: Why isn't it this type of material for the base 662 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,919 Speaker 2: which has been successful versus this proven unsuccessful? And why 663 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 2: do we keep going? 664 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 1: You know why? That is because it's a business and 665 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: we're getting more and more funding. Right, Okay, but I 666 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,160 Speaker 1: want to go back. I want to drill into these 667 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: really specifically, because you know, we've got a lot you know, 668 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: this is my I mean, there's leftists that listen to 669 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: Professor Penn podcast because they show up in a comment 670 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 1: and I want them to feel at home here, and 671 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: I want them to know that we're trying to develop 672 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: politics for all men of sultans and they have concerns 673 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: about policing, particularly in the cities, specifically to policing issues 674 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: in the cities. What can the governor do, What can 675 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: the legislature do with the governor to address the concerns 676 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 1: of our urban residents who are ill at ease with 677 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: our police. 678 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,600 Speaker 2: Stop playing politics and stop lying to people and start 679 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 2: listening to I wish I could remember his I drop 680 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 2: his name all day long. A black gentleman in Minneapolis 681 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 2: that has a podcast. He's actually he's getting his doctorate 682 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 2: in educational administration. I think he's been a teacher for 683 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 2: a long time. And somebody threw his podcast at me 684 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 2: the other day and I started listening to it. And 685 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 2: if our politicians and our bureaucrats would stop playing politics 686 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 2: and just start listening to people and what the needs 687 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 2: in the community are, not amplifying hot talking points or 688 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,400 Speaker 2: hot topics with legacy media and start just listening to 689 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,720 Speaker 2: people on the truth on the ground, so to speak. 690 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: You'd get a long ways and then listen to what's 691 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 2: going on with the law enforcement. How they've kind of 692 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 2: developed this culture of tiptoeing and sidestepping particular controversial ideas 693 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 2: or controversial decisions and finding maybe not so good ways 694 00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 2: to creatively get around policing issues. Again, if it's if 695 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 2: they had somebody that has their back that would reassure 696 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 2: them that they're not going to prison because they smiled 697 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 2: wrong or because they didn't smile, these law enforcement professionals 698 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 2: would have a lot of really good traction in their community. 699 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:06,400 Speaker 2: These law enforcement officials who are managing their their next position, 700 00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 2: their next bullet point of how they're going to get 701 00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:14,560 Speaker 2: to their next pay level, pay level, if they had 702 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 2: a leader, like a governor like me who would step 703 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,160 Speaker 2: in and say enough of this nonsense and take a 704 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,800 Speaker 2: look at the different law enforcement officials that are actually 705 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 2: making a difference in the community and and raise them 706 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 2: to the to the you know, bring some light on them. Again. 707 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 2: It's about that philosophical piece of fixating on what's right 708 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:42,840 Speaker 2: and just and keep manifesting that versus manifesting this broken 709 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 2: ideology and these A lot of it comes down to 710 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 2: all these different subjects, this intellectually and morally broken log 711 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 2: extreme that sometimes seems to be almost a disease. Lately, 712 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 2: you see it every day, You're you're talking about it 713 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: almost every day. We're seeing it in our families, were 714 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 2: seeing it in our colleagues, there's this intellectually and morally 715 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 2: broken logic streme for all kinds of subjects that can 716 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 2: be successfully confronted and done away with. You don't have 717 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,400 Speaker 2: to be thinking like that. You don't have to accept 718 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,879 Speaker 2: what you've been trained to accept for the last fifty years. 719 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,960 Speaker 1: Can you give me an example of that, something that 720 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: so people could really get a practical view of what 721 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,399 Speaker 1: you're talking about. Is there something we could just drill 722 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: into in that way? Because we're really talking about cultural 723 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: issues now. When you start talking about broken logic streams, 724 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: of course that underlies all of our problems. We don't 725 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 1: have a common language our culture. Although people talk about 726 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 1: diversity in very positive ways, it's not turning out positive. 727 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: This is the broken logic stream. Okay. Where you say 728 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,799 Speaker 1: diversity is our greatest strength? Okay, great, Can you show 729 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,440 Speaker 1: it to me? Where is it working? Because all I 730 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,879 Speaker 1: see now is confusion. I was driving to the student today, 731 00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 1: I was thinking, man, part of my job is I'm 732 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: so intuch with how broken everything is. It's like I'm 733 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: driven into all this and I'm thinking unity, unity, Unity. 734 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like the Party, but I'm 735 00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: not talking about that kind of union. I'm talking about 736 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:15,000 Speaker 1: a kind of a cultural rally point which you're talking 737 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 1: about your campaign is based on. It's not right or left, 738 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: it's not red or blue. Let's get to what works 739 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,480 Speaker 1: and what's right, what's just, what's good, what's true. And 740 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: we are doing a lot of things culturally which is 741 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: not right in just and true. And I'm going to 742 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 1: go out on a limit if you're a leftist and 743 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,120 Speaker 1: I know where this comes from because it's a radical 744 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: idea of freedom, but we're doing a lot of things 745 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,960 Speaker 1: medically that is not right and just and true. It 746 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,400 Speaker 1: is free. We're free to do so, we're free to experiment. 747 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,840 Speaker 1: But when you see the results of the experiment is 748 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:54,960 Speaker 1: broken lives. Are we going to change? Well, we have 749 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 1: a broken logic stream. So what's a good example of that. 750 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: How can we take one area and say, come on, guys, 751 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 1: come on. 752 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: I'll try to pick one of dozens or interesting recent experience. 753 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 2: A gentleman in which I won't name names because it's 754 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 2: just it's not about that, but gentlemen and his family 755 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 2: have moved to the community that I am an administrator in. 756 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,120 Speaker 2: They moved away from a community that was in their 757 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 2: view probably not meeting their needs and falling apart. This 758 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:38,759 Speaker 2: family of a seven husband and wife and children. This 759 00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 2: family of seven has, because of our social programs and 760 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 2: our state and federal programming, have found themselves in this home. 761 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:53,560 Speaker 2: Now they own this home, and essentially in an upside 762 00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 2: of throwing money at people, this family has chosen to 763 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 2: actually try to do something with that opportunity. But they're 764 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 2: finding as they have gotten into this situation, a lack 765 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:16,759 Speaker 2: of actual tangible support and evidence by the way of 766 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,080 Speaker 2: how how fraudulent it is, because they could certainly take 767 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,560 Speaker 2: the money and just run or do whatever they want. 768 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,440 Speaker 2: But this family is trying to do something different. The 769 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:32,040 Speaker 2: broken and intellectually and morally broken concepts that are leading 770 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 2: to that is partly connected to all areas of concerns 771 00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,640 Speaker 2: people not of any particular race or color, and this 772 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 2: concept of just well, it's easier to just yeah, we'll 773 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 2: we'll develop a program. Well we'll we'll get the need 774 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,800 Speaker 2: filled with this amount of money and this group of people, 775 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 2: and it doesn't take place, and then people like myself 776 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 2: and my community. He comes to the to my office 777 00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 2: and I have no business dealing with his water heater, 778 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 2: but he has no money left to deal with the 779 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,680 Speaker 2: water heater and fixing the water heater. Why I say 780 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,360 Speaker 2: it connects to the intellectually and morally broken logic streams 781 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,759 Speaker 2: is because there's too many people among us, which is 782 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 2: a small group by the way, because the hopeful part. 783 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 1: Of this back to this illicit flow of money that's 784 00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 1: fun in these ideas. 785 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,720 Speaker 2: You have this group of people that in their broken 786 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:29,520 Speaker 2: logic and broken morality, think they're doing something good, and 787 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 2: in truth is they've actually enslaved this family into a 788 00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 2: life of servitude to a bunch of either mislabeled or 789 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 2: mishandled ideas and ideologies that now they've got to pick 790 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,080 Speaker 2: up the pieces and try to figure out how to 791 00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 2: make it work. And good people in the community have 792 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:51,600 Speaker 2: to step up, and I have to go over and 793 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 2: try and help him start his water heater because he 794 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 2: has no way of understanding even how to light the 795 00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 2: pilot light. So to me, that is one example of 796 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,399 Speaker 2: how are people who sit on high and just throw 797 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 2: money at programs and try to be good people. They 798 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,480 Speaker 2: don't have a good logic stream, They don't have what. 799 00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: You're saying that the underlying the lot and say we 800 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,800 Speaker 1: were just talking about this on the Tuesday Night podcast. 801 00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 1: I made the comment, you know, it's an experiment. We're 802 00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:29,319 Speaker 1: experimenting continuously with human consciousness, human politics, human religion. Not 803 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 1: that long ago, we were living in caves as the 804 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: crow flies, right, So we're trying to do the best 805 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,799 Speaker 1: we can and people jet out in these directions. And 806 00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: I think you're right people that folks that I hang 807 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,759 Speaker 1: around with would say these people are bad people. I 808 00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:46,879 Speaker 1: don't think they think they're bad, and they probably are 809 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 1: trying to do good. But the logic is broken. And 810 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,720 Speaker 1: I said a little differently, the evidence there's a broken 811 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 1: feedback loop because they're looking at the data and they 812 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 1: think that things are getting better and they're not getting better. 813 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: And we're putting more and more money into programs that 814 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 1: are not getting things better, which then taxes the citizens 815 00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 1: more and more, which then breaks down our social solidarity. 816 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,439 Speaker 1: And we're not looking at the feedback loop. 817 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 2: Right. 818 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:19,560 Speaker 1: If we could get into government a more honest, well 819 00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 1: not honest, more accurate assessment of the results of our 820 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: expenditure and this kind of pissed me off, not kind of, 821 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 1: it just really pissed me off all of a sudden. 822 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,799 Speaker 1: You know, Trump got elected, and they started the doge thing, 823 00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,399 Speaker 1: and they started looking at all this fraud with usaid. 824 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, the Minnesota Republicans in the 825 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: House and Senate jumped up with all these indignation about 826 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 1: all this. For this fraud's been going on my entire 827 00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,479 Speaker 1: adult life, and I know about it. I mean, it's 828 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,320 Speaker 1: right in your face. Now. Did you all in the 829 00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:56,560 Speaker 1: legislature not see it? Or were you part of it? 830 00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,760 Speaker 1: Is this a giant theater show? Now until it passes 831 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 1: on by and we're back to business as usual, Because 832 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:07,920 Speaker 1: what this is, what government is, is a very poorly 833 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 1: run business. Now, if you talk to my mother, who's 834 00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,920 Speaker 1: an ardent leftist, she'll say, government's really not a business. 835 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:20,279 Speaker 1: That's the orientation of people on the left. And that's 836 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: something we have to talk to our brothers and sisters 837 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: on the left about. Because government is dealing with tremendous 838 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:32,319 Speaker 1: amounts of money, huge employment bases, and delivering services. It 839 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,279 Speaker 1: sounds like a business to me. And if you have 840 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,719 Speaker 1: a business like that road you're talking about, we're using 841 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,960 Speaker 1: materials that we know don't work. But hey, we got 842 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 1: to rip the roads up every three years, because hey, 843 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 1: what a great business and we never want our budgets 844 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:53,920 Speaker 1: to shrink, and we don't talk this way. And I 845 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,319 Speaker 1: don't know what the people on the left think about this. 846 00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,720 Speaker 1: I mean, are we just going to keep expanding government 847 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,440 Speaker 1: till it's every person working for the government. I mean, 848 00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 1: this thing is completely as you were saying, it's out 849 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: of control. Now this broken. We want to I mean, 850 00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: this is me. I don't want to use the word we. 851 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 1: I believe in self governance. I want the smallest government 852 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,279 Speaker 1: possible because I live in a republic. I don't live 853 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,400 Speaker 1: in a communist state. And in fact, if you're a 854 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: leftist and you're listening, do you know that a republican 855 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,799 Speaker 1: form of governance is promised to every American citizen in 856 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,600 Speaker 1: the US Constitution. Now, it's never been challenged because the 857 00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,360 Speaker 1: court say it's not a judicial but that was yesterday. 858 00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what they're going to say tomorrow. Maybe 859 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 1: this will become an area of judicial action, because we 860 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:44,800 Speaker 1: can't lose our republican form of governance and maintain ourselves 861 00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:48,240 Speaker 1: as a republic. So that's what this government is doing. 862 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:52,760 Speaker 1: It's crowding out the very nature of republicanism. 863 00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,400 Speaker 2: Well, and it's crowding out the basic nature of human condition. 864 00:53:56,680 --> 00:53:59,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the human condition is eventually. The sad fact 865 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,800 Speaker 2: is we've seen it over history, hundreds and hundreds of 866 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 2: years of history. The human condition is going to get 867 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,520 Speaker 2: into this pattern of I hate to be so corny, 868 00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,320 Speaker 2: but there's a several social media memes out there, in 869 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 2: little cute little videos. You know, in good times we 870 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 2: develop weak men and in bad times we develop strong men. 871 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,520 Speaker 4: And I would say that's pretty accurate. 872 00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:23,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. 873 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 3: I when I'm listening to your message, I feel like 874 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 3: it's the younger voters, it's the people my age, because 875 00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,240 Speaker 3: we just recently were talking with Richard Barris on episode 876 00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 3: two twenty one, and he was talking about how we 877 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,239 Speaker 3: feel so disenfranchised, and a lot of us know that 878 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,480 Speaker 3: there's a problem. We just kind of accept it as 879 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 3: status quo, because what the hell are we going to 880 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 3: do if our parents then do anything. The millennials aren't 881 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 3: really doing anything, what are gen z is actually going 882 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 3: to do. 883 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 2: I'm seeing a lot of hope. Actually, some good kids 884 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,920 Speaker 2: I've called them kids, but they're not great. I mean 885 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:59,719 Speaker 2: young adults at sixteen seventeen years old. In my life, 886 00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,400 Speaker 2: I was doing things at sixteen seventeen year old that 887 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 2: for a long time now people wouldn't even hear of 888 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,200 Speaker 2: doing until they were in their twenties or thirties, and 889 00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,320 Speaker 2: I was doing them at sixteen seventeen. We're back around 890 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: to this. You know, we've got young people coming up 891 00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,719 Speaker 2: asking questions like you or can we do something about this? 892 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,439 Speaker 2: And they're starting to find some traction as to saying 893 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,920 Speaker 2: to themselves, well why not me? Who else is doing it? 894 00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,360 Speaker 2: You clearly aren't doing it. And so you know, I 895 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,560 Speaker 2: had a dozen thoughts while we were talking, and now 896 00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 2: we're onto this again. It's about it's about a philosophical piece, 897 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,240 Speaker 2: but yet a tangible piece. You have to be able 898 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:46,320 Speaker 2: to put into action ideas to grapple with the challenges 899 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: in front of you. And I think there's a huge 900 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 2: opportunity coming with young people and people of all ages 901 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 2: and people of all race, color and creed. Really they're 902 00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 2: coming back because socialism doesn't work, Marxism doesn't work. The 903 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 2: human condition eventually kicks in. Like these young people that 904 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:05,560 Speaker 2: are starting to say, well, can we do something about this? 905 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 2: It's starting to kick in. The human condition is starting 906 00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:11,760 Speaker 2: to come and that's why the republic is important because 907 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:17,040 Speaker 2: our republic, our constitutional republic, was built on that knowledge 908 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,680 Speaker 2: that the human condition is going to find a way 909 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 2: at some point and it will fight off this onslaught 910 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 2: of socialism who are actually ill intended people. They sell 911 00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,840 Speaker 2: lots of pretty stories and lots of pretty concepts, but 912 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 2: eventually socialist, Marxist, communist ideologies, the human condition eventually kicks in. 913 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 2: And you have brave heart, you know, or you have 914 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 2: the magna carta, come to the surface and say, we 915 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:52,040 Speaker 2: are a free people. God has created us to be free. 916 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,279 Speaker 2: Leave people alone. Why do you have to sit in 917 00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,920 Speaker 2: your ivory tower saying that all culture and race might 918 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,080 Speaker 2: live like this. Everybody must have a standard of living 919 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:07,080 Speaker 2: of air conditioning because Minnesota is so miserable. Everybody must 920 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:11,600 Speaker 2: have a standard of living because of heat and centralized 921 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,120 Speaker 2: heat and floor heating in Minnesota. Because everybody deserves that. 922 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:20,240 Speaker 2: Everybody doesn't want that. Leave people alone and let people 923 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 2: thrive and grow and learn. And who is some white 924 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,360 Speaker 2: person or black person or Asian person to sit on 925 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:29,560 Speaker 2: high and say, well, you need to move this group 926 00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,240 Speaker 2: of people over into this industry, into this region because 927 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 2: their life will be better. Who told you you have 928 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 2: the authority to do that. Leave people alone. Our constitutional 929 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:43,720 Speaker 2: republic depends on and is going to find its way 930 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:48,960 Speaker 2: back to the mainstream thinking because the human condition is 931 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:49,560 Speaker 2: kicking in. 932 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:54,520 Speaker 1: See. I really like this part of your dialogue because 933 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 1: the chief executive, I mean, you know, you have to 934 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 1: govern and right, so you're really just a president of 935 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,720 Speaker 1: a corporation in kind of a way, but you set 936 00:58:04,760 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: the tone for the whole workforce and for all the 937 00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 1: people that are so when you're the governor, and what 938 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 1: do we really have? We don't have. This is why 939 00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm starting to think politically because I'm so good at 940 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,680 Speaker 1: this myself. I know I'm good at it. I don't 941 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 1: know that i'd be that good at governing because I'm 942 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 1: not a detailed guy. But the philosophical part, I need 943 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:30,280 Speaker 1: our leadership. I want, as a constituent, my leaders to 944 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: start to re educate the population on what the Framers 945 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 1: gave us and what we're giving up. Because clearly, in 946 00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 1: Minnesota we've moved away from a republican form of governance 947 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 1: and we've moved to a socialist form of governance. It's 948 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: still what's interesting is that it's still working because the 949 00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: state is so wealthy. There's so many good people, so 950 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: many hard working people, but people keep moving away, Like 951 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 1: for me, I would be a perfect candidate to move away. 952 00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,920 Speaker 1: I won't leave because to me, I would be running 953 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 1: away from my responsibility. So I think about all the 954 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,160 Speaker 1: Republican Party candidates that I know by name. I'm going 955 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,120 Speaker 1: to be kind because I'm trying to be kinder. They 956 00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 1: lost their elections and they've moved out of the state, 957 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:14,880 Speaker 1: and some of them are listening to me, and I'm 958 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,880 Speaker 1: going to tell you who you are. You're a friggin 959 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: coward and you're only interested in the money. You don't 960 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,160 Speaker 1: care about the suffering that this governance is bringing upon 961 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,760 Speaker 1: the people. And we do care here at Free People Radio. 962 00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: I care, and I'm giving up a lot of my 963 00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,680 Speaker 1: discretionary free time in the golden years of my life 964 00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 1: to work for young people like Tanners generation. And you 965 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,960 Speaker 1: know what Barris told us, And if Richard Barris is 966 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 1: a very noted poster, the greatest growth in Republican support 967 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 1: has come from twenty to twenty nine year olds, particularly 968 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 1: from Hispanic and black males. They're looking for an opportunity 969 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: to get something out of this deal. They don't want 970 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 1: to accept that Marks is the same as everybody else. 971 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 1: They are, they're creative, they want to be different because, 972 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,600 Speaker 1: as you said, that's the human condition. And I just 973 01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,640 Speaker 1: want to say before I turn it back over to you, 974 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:23,520 Speaker 1: the human condition includes some very stark realities, like we're 975 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 1: going to die. Get over it, because we're not going 976 01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 1: to I'm not getting out of this alive. And I've 977 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,160 Speaker 1: made a decision. I don't want the medical system to 978 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,200 Speaker 1: parasitize my death for three or four hundred grand and 979 01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,600 Speaker 1: then have Tanner paying for it. I don't want to 980 01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 1: do that. Well, that's kind of an unusual idea. But 981 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,080 Speaker 1: when more and more of us older people say, come 982 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 1: on now, you know, an extra six months for half 983 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,960 Speaker 1: a million, now, I don't think so screw off. Now 984 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,160 Speaker 1: the system starts to repair itself because of self governance 985 01:00:56,480 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 1: to be able to accept the human condition that there 986 01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: are differences. Man. I got Royce working here with me 987 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: in the studio and he's thirty three years old and 988 01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,880 Speaker 1: he can get up in the morning and fight. I mean, 989 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 1: I get up in the morning. I just want my 990 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 1: back to quit hurt. You know, there's differences between people, right, 991 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's like, okay, but I have my strengths 992 01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 1: and my weaknesses, you have yours. Why are we so 993 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:29,680 Speaker 1: interested in socializing everybody's weakness because when we do that, 994 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 1: we eliminate everybody's strength at the same time. But nobody 995 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: talks to it. I would like our leadership, our leaders 996 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:44,320 Speaker 1: are candidates to inspire the young people about what this 997 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,680 Speaker 1: is all supposed to be about, because I think we forgot. 998 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:53,160 Speaker 2: I hope somebody really rewinds what you just said about 999 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,680 Speaker 2: when you focus on all those weaknesses, you actually remove 1000 01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 2: the strengths. I hope somebody really catches is a death's 1001 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:08,520 Speaker 2: a clap because uh yeah. So back to the human condition, 1002 01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,240 Speaker 2: there is a lot of hope. There's a lot of 1003 01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:14,120 Speaker 2: hope going on with Tanner's age group, and and lots 1004 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,360 Speaker 2: of good people across the state who the human condition 1005 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 2: is kicking in and just out of survival. It's starting 1006 01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:28,720 Speaker 2: to motivate and inspire logic streams and ideas and innovation 1007 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 2: that are making a difference and are going to come 1008 01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,680 Speaker 2: back to the surface. And our republic is built to 1009 01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 2: sustain the downtimes, in my opinion, and then thrive again 1010 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,919 Speaker 2: when these when that human condition starts to kick into 1011 01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,400 Speaker 2: gear again. And I believe it's kicking into gear. And 1012 01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 2: we have a lot of people that are just going 1013 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:53,080 Speaker 2: to need a little bit of encouragement to utilize that 1014 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:57,440 Speaker 2: that that new found energy and new found logic stream 1015 01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,760 Speaker 2: of making things a little bit more practical and sensible. 1016 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,800 Speaker 2: And to your point, if we just look at life 1017 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:10,880 Speaker 2: as a tragedy and constantly, oh, we're going to die, 1018 01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 2: and then try to avoid that or not grapple with it, 1019 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 2: or create all kinds of crazy ideas to deal with it, 1020 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 2: and it puts a burden on other people. Yeah, that again, 1021 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:23,600 Speaker 2: the human condition is eventually going to take over and 1022 01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,600 Speaker 2: people like what you're saying is, I don't want to 1023 01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 2: cause that problem with with the young people that are 1024 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 2: going to have to take care of me. We have 1025 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,760 Speaker 2: too many people who for too long have had the 1026 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,560 Speaker 2: opportunity to develop nice, little packaged ideas to deal with 1027 01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:46,520 Speaker 2: the the sadness of life. And you can apply that 1028 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:51,680 Speaker 2: to every portion of our government where these people I 1029 01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 2: call them the good fairy dust people. But they're well intentionally, 1030 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,240 Speaker 2: well intended, or at least they think they think they 1031 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,160 Speaker 2: are right, and so you develop all these and then 1032 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 2: they throw the little meme or the little bomb, the 1033 01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,440 Speaker 2: little the fairy dust bomb, be very dust bomb over 1034 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 2: the fence, and then they're nowhere to be found to 1035 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 2: put into practice what they came up with for an idea. 1036 01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:19,160 Speaker 2: And I know that sounds over simplistic, but that's essentially 1037 01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,520 Speaker 2: what's wrong with every portion of our government and our 1038 01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 2: governance is this, you know, good fairy idea is a 1039 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 2: good fairy idea bomb over the fence from there's no one. 1040 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Coming from good people. I mean, the feedback loop is broken. 1041 01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:37,000 Speaker 1: They're not looking at the results. And of course when 1042 01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,240 Speaker 1: you fairy dust bomb a bunch of money, there's a 1043 01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:42,640 Speaker 1: lot of bad people that show up with their baskets 1044 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,280 Speaker 1: open saying, you know, I'm going to take this. That's 1045 01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:49,760 Speaker 1: that's the part that I think regular, good, hardworking citizens 1046 01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:54,880 Speaker 1: don't recognize is the grifters are in there, really seriously 1047 01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 1: intentionally taking everything they can get that's not tied down. 1048 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,840 Speaker 1: Seeing that Minnesota right now, with all the fraud, it's 1049 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 1: kind of kind of stunning, isn't it. 1050 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 2: The grifters. It's a really good way to put it. 1051 01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 2: I'll use a barn analogy. It's going to sound a 1052 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 2: little bit abstract. But you know, I can clean the 1053 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,640 Speaker 2: barn and make sure the barn is really cleaned up 1054 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:17,040 Speaker 2: and looking beautiful and good for all the animals and 1055 01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,480 Speaker 2: literally healthy you come visit the barn. But all I 1056 01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 2: did was put the manure just outside the door. Well, 1057 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 2: all those parasites, all those grifters are still right outside 1058 01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:30,520 Speaker 2: the door in the manure pile. I didn't actually fix 1059 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 2: the problem, and I just moved it out of it. 1060 01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,280 Speaker 2: That's great, And I know that sounds a little bit silly, 1061 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:41,400 Speaker 2: but it's the simple truth that the grifters just the 1062 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 2: people that really need the support, the people that are 1063 01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 2: engaged to get the support to people. They get kind 1064 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,560 Speaker 2: of cleaned up and looked fancy and stuff. But the 1065 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,240 Speaker 2: grifters that are waiting on the sidelines. 1066 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 1: In the NGOs, with this illicit funding, with this illicit 1067 01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 1: whole system of intermediaries between governance, which is money because 1068 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 1: government takes money away from one group of people and 1069 01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: gives it to another. And the government has outsourced a 1070 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: lot of this to this entire industry. There's over thirty 1071 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:16,680 Speaker 1: thousandngos in Minnesota, over thirty thousand, one little state. It's crazy. 1072 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to build on something because I think this 1073 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: is really important what you said about the roads. Now, 1074 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 1: if you live in the Twin Cities, I've been saying 1075 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:31,000 Speaker 1: this for decades. I almost feel like they're mean about it. 1076 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean, the way they do the road work, they 1077 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 1: make sure that your life is hell, particularly if you 1078 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:39,760 Speaker 1: live in the western suburbs, which is a little bit 1079 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:44,280 Speaker 1: more red than other areas. But you brought up something 1080 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:49,920 Speaker 1: very beautiful that we have better technologies, yet they're not 1081 01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:54,840 Speaker 1: being implemented right because there's a business model there that's 1082 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 1: working for some of the people in that revenue stream. 1083 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,560 Speaker 1: When the money is taken away from us, and government 1084 01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 1: is the intermediary, takes a commission, which is the salary 1085 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 1: of all the workers in the government. That's their commission, 1086 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 1: and they take the money from me and they give 1087 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,840 Speaker 1: it to the road builder who then builds a road 1088 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,120 Speaker 1: which is going to become it's going to be need 1089 01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: to be repaired. They know exactly when it's on a 1090 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,840 Speaker 1: schedule when they build the road. And in fact, in 1091 01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,560 Speaker 1: my neighborhood they're tearing up roads that seem to me 1092 01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:28,680 Speaker 1: to be a okay, like why are you doing this? Okay? 1093 01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 1: So that's all part of government. But you know a road. 1094 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 1: You said, infrastructure is very important. Well, there's no more 1095 01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,240 Speaker 1: important thing than you said than the human infrastructure of 1096 01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,200 Speaker 1: the state. He said, that's the great strength of the state. 1097 01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Our education system. I mean, we were spending all this 1098 01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:50,080 Speaker 1: money on education. Tanner and I were talking about that. 1099 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:53,760 Speaker 1: He said that everybody should be taught how to make 1100 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 1: a fire. Wasn't a yeah, build a fire, build a 1101 01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 1: fire life skill? Well, you know the essential life skills. 1102 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 1: You grew up on the farm, correct, So you have 1103 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 1: a lot of those skills I assume taught to you 1104 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:14,680 Speaker 1: by relatives. It's part of the culture agriculture, not agra 1105 01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:18,679 Speaker 1: business agra culture. So you have a lot of self 1106 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,200 Speaker 1: governance skills, such that when a guy comes and he 1107 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 1: goes man, you go, have you looked at the pilot 1108 01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 1: light and you actually have to go over and show 1109 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: him how to light a pilot light and his water 1110 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,400 Speaker 1: heater because maybe that was the only problem with the 1111 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:37,679 Speaker 1: water heater. He didn't know that, right. Well, our educational system, 1112 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,960 Speaker 1: you're the governor of the state. What could we teach 1113 01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:45,960 Speaker 1: our young people that would strengthen the state immeasurably That 1114 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,960 Speaker 1: is not currently part of the curriculum. 1115 01:08:49,200 --> 01:08:55,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, so learning learning styles and inspiring children to develop 1116 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,599 Speaker 2: skills is there's a lot of good, healthy people out 1117 01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,160 Speaker 2: there that are really fixating on developing skill based learning, 1118 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,760 Speaker 2: and it's not getting the attention that it should be 1119 01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:12,040 Speaker 2: getting because we're so fixated on these ideological things that 1120 01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,960 Speaker 2: have nothing to do with skills based learning. And so 1121 01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,680 Speaker 2: we can as setting the tone and coming in with 1122 01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:26,240 Speaker 2: executive order, we can stop all these DEI LGBTQ plus 1123 01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 2: on it. And that's not to diminish anybody's particular physical 1124 01:09:30,360 --> 01:09:33,800 Speaker 2: or health needs. It's just to say we need to 1125 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 2: actually have some skills. Some of these ideological things are meaningless. 1126 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:41,439 Speaker 2: If you can't start a fire, if you can't start 1127 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,600 Speaker 2: the water heater, if you can't figure out why the 1128 01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:49,400 Speaker 2: outlet doesn't work, and it's don't laugh, but literally had 1129 01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 2: to help an employee that should know better. Yeah, none 1130 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,400 Speaker 2: of the outlets are working because the breaker switches popped. 1131 01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:02,880 Speaker 2: I mean, so GF I switches. There's a little button 1132 01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 2: on the little outlet there that you just got to 1133 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 2: reset the gf I switch. It's real simple, and it 1134 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 2: sounds silly and almost insulting to the people, but. 1135 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,759 Speaker 1: No, it's not because the urban dwellers are so dis 1136 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 1: embodied from the natural way. And it really goes into 1137 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:26,519 Speaker 1: this healthcare expenditure because if people don't know how to 1138 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: enhance their well being, then they're going to be sick. Right, 1139 01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:34,599 Speaker 1: And we don't really do a very good job teaching 1140 01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:39,639 Speaker 1: our young people how to compress their morbidity and extend 1141 01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:43,519 Speaker 1: their more their longevity. And I'm looking at this and 1142 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know, come on now, we're spending billions 1143 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,760 Speaker 1: and billions and billions teaching people and I'm not here 1144 01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 1: to argue with the ideological aspect of it. How about that? 1145 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,639 Speaker 1: How about the missing piece? How do you live a long, 1146 01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: healthy life? Right? I mean, why are we teaching people 1147 01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,639 Speaker 1: some of this other stuff when the fundamental building block, 1148 01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,360 Speaker 1: which could reduce costs across a whole rank, It would 1149 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:09,240 Speaker 1: reduce policing costs because people would be well and they 1150 01:11:09,240 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't be passed. 1151 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,920 Speaker 2: For example, how many people die per day because of 1152 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 2: just simple skills of everything from driving to operating a 1153 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:23,000 Speaker 2: piece of equipment. How many people are dead every day 1154 01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,479 Speaker 2: because of just what some people could look at and say, 1155 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:27,280 Speaker 2: why that was really not smart? 1156 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, something we talked about yesterday on a podcast is 1157 01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:33,120 Speaker 3: also like following that conversation of things that should be 1158 01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 3: taught in schools, we talked about gun safety because the 1159 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 3: third main killer from firearms are accidental deaths, people just 1160 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:45,960 Speaker 3: looking down the barrel, playing around with it, right, And 1161 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,160 Speaker 3: you laugh at that because like the first rule is 1162 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 3: you don't point the end of the guns. 1163 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,000 Speaker 1: But that even goes into a deeper issue, and it 1164 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,840 Speaker 1: goes into the issue of the sanctity of life. Right, 1165 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 1: that's a sanctity of life issue. It's an awareness issue. 1166 01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:02,440 Speaker 1: But if you don't have a belief in the sanctity 1167 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 1: of life, then you're going to be a little bit 1168 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:06,439 Speaker 1: more cavalier with a weapon. 1169 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:07,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1170 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 2: In farming that there's a I think I mentioned it 1171 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 2: the last time I was here. There's a group called 1172 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 2: they just call it farm Fathers Against Raising Morons. I 1173 01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 2: love it. It's just so practical and it so speaks 1174 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,800 Speaker 2: to so much of what we're because, Yeah, and the 1175 01:12:26,840 --> 01:12:30,840 Speaker 2: sad thing is is most of my real learning was 1176 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:35,679 Speaker 2: done on the battlefield literally or at the farm where 1177 01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:36,840 Speaker 2: you could literally. 1178 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,760 Speaker 5: In the arm or in the classroom where you get 1179 01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,599 Speaker 5: on the wall, on the ball field where yeah, I'm 1180 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 5: going to get crushed by that guy if I don't 1181 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:51,680 Speaker 5: you know, And these practical things become so abstract and 1182 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 5: unattainable when you sit in this. 1183 01:12:56,360 --> 01:12:59,920 Speaker 2: Bubble learning all these ideological things and trying to have 1184 01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,519 Speaker 2: void harm or trying to avoid is kind of to 1185 01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,799 Speaker 2: your statement a little while ago about when you you're 1186 01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 2: so I remember how you said it. Now you're so 1187 01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:12,439 Speaker 2: focused on the the the the weak or the what 1188 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:13,360 Speaker 2: I tell you to remember? 1189 01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,519 Speaker 1: Oh, I would saying when you socialize people's weaknesses and 1190 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,200 Speaker 1: then you lose your strengths, you eliminate their careers. 1191 01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,160 Speaker 2: It's the same thing with these skills. You're so fixated 1192 01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,360 Speaker 2: on creating this bubble where everybody's going to be happy 1193 01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 2: and and that's not life. That's not practical, and it's 1194 01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 2: not appropriate. And these same basic principles can be applied 1195 01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:38,280 Speaker 2: to governance and to making decisions decisions in the governor's office. 1196 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:45,760 Speaker 2: You know, protecting people from inevitable realities is not kindness 1197 01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:53,720 Speaker 2: or compassion. If you're kind and compassionate governor, parent, teacher, administrator, 1198 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,120 Speaker 2: you're going to find ways to help people develop skills 1199 01:13:58,160 --> 01:14:00,920 Speaker 2: to cope with the reality of life, not to avoid it. 1200 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,080 Speaker 1: You know this is very interesting, and this is my 1201 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:07,479 Speaker 1: and I'm you can take my advice and leave it 1202 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,800 Speaker 1: at the table when you leave. But I think these 1203 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:13,120 Speaker 1: are the issues that are going to get people elected. 1204 01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:18,839 Speaker 1: I think that talking about taxes or policing or DEI 1205 01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,720 Speaker 1: getting down on the weeds with all this stuff. You know, 1206 01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,040 Speaker 1: That's the way it's been my entire life. We've been 1207 01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 1: arguing about taxes since I was my first vote, but 1208 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: nobody's talking about And this is why I'm saying this. 1209 01:14:31,720 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 1: You said it's not appropriate for the government to try 1210 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:40,040 Speaker 1: to bash in people against the reality of life. Well, 1211 01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 1: of course government's going to do it when people have 1212 01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:46,240 Speaker 1: no faith, because they have no mechanism to deal with it. 1213 01:14:46,520 --> 01:14:49,479 Speaker 1: I've been working on my faith since I was a child, 1214 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:53,760 Speaker 1: so when death comes for me, I have some mechanism 1215 01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,080 Speaker 1: for dealing with it. One could say that the whole 1216 01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:59,000 Speaker 1: religious path is to just get you ready for the end, 1217 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,519 Speaker 1: because that's nobody wants the goal. Well, not nobody, but 1218 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,720 Speaker 1: most of us want to hang in here because even 1219 01:15:04,760 --> 01:15:06,840 Speaker 1: if we're not having a good time, it's better than 1220 01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:11,639 Speaker 1: the alternative. But when we lose that self governance that 1221 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 1: comes from self development, then government ends up filling that 1222 01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,599 Speaker 1: in and it's completely ill prepared and ill equipped and 1223 01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:22,800 Speaker 1: inappropriate to do so. And that's why we're losing so 1224 01:15:22,880 --> 01:15:26,599 Speaker 1: much money. That's why we're taxing our people so hard. 1225 01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 2: I'm going to tie into something that's really been on 1226 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,960 Speaker 2: my head and heart for especially the last few months. 1227 01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,960 Speaker 2: Wouldn't it be nice to just feel inspired again? Yes, 1228 01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:41,479 Speaker 2: to feel excited and energetic and going after a goal 1229 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,920 Speaker 2: and objective. I mean, I've been thinking a lot about 1230 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 2: my I've spent some time back in my childhood areas 1231 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:52,440 Speaker 2: and talking with people, and I remember being so inspired. 1232 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 2: I was so inspired that I actually wrote in one 1233 01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,679 Speaker 2: of my journals the first year I could run for president, 1234 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:04,360 Speaker 2: I just I think you're onto something with Forget about 1235 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 2: all of the nuances of governance, of taxes and finance 1236 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,479 Speaker 2: and infrastructure, and get back to it. Wouldn't it be 1237 01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,800 Speaker 2: nice if we had some leaders amongst us who inspired 1238 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 2: us and just really gave us a sense of hope 1239 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,600 Speaker 2: and courage and wisdom. And I know that again that 1240 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,680 Speaker 2: sounds really abstract to the people that just want to 1241 01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:26,719 Speaker 2: talk about money, or just want to talk about roads, 1242 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,000 Speaker 2: or just want to talk about healthcare. But wouldn't it 1243 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 2: be nice to be inspired again, genuinely inspired, And I 1244 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,759 Speaker 2: think that's what you're onto is. Yeah, it is about faith. 1245 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:43,400 Speaker 2: It is about our whole being, not just these tangible 1246 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 2: things at the moment that might make. 1247 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:45,719 Speaker 1: Us some material. 1248 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,680 Speaker 2: It's this whole person here that has a need to 1249 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 2: fill and getting to that point where we're inspired again 1250 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,520 Speaker 2: and hopeful and encouraged. 1251 01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,920 Speaker 1: Were you conscious when John Kennedy was president? 1252 01:16:59,720 --> 01:16:59,880 Speaker 2: Yes? 1253 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:02,679 Speaker 1: Do you remember what that felt like in the sixties, 1254 01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,080 Speaker 1: how we felt here? You know, you don't have I 1255 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:08,639 Speaker 1: think I've said this to before. You know, for young people. 1256 01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,680 Speaker 1: You know, you have no idea what it felt like 1257 01:17:12,760 --> 01:17:15,800 Speaker 1: to grow up in the fifties and sixties, because it 1258 01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:19,080 Speaker 1: was really we thought we could do. You know, you 1259 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 1: talk about being president, me too. We were all told 1260 01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:25,360 Speaker 1: you could be president. We all had this feeling like 1261 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,160 Speaker 1: we can go as far as we can go, go go. 1262 01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:32,600 Speaker 1: Because we didn't have this socialist ethos that had permeated 1263 01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:37,559 Speaker 1: our culture. We were all expected, well, like the Marines, 1264 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:40,559 Speaker 1: be all you can be right, you know, yeah, let's 1265 01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 1: go for it. 1266 01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,760 Speaker 2: We had a great bunch of teachers and families in 1267 01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,719 Speaker 2: our community, West Conker, Minnesota, where I was just talking 1268 01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:53,160 Speaker 2: to a friend, Coach Gunnus. His daughter ka Kaya and 1269 01:17:53,200 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 2: I have had this like long relationship and sorry, her 1270 01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:14,960 Speaker 2: mother is a big reason why that thing burns in me. 1271 01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:17,599 Speaker 2: I'll call it sorry. 1272 01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:23,280 Speaker 1: It's okay, you God, take your time. It will never 1273 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:25,559 Speaker 1: see you be emotional. I've known you for a long time, 1274 01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:27,759 Speaker 1: so just yeah, tell a story. 1275 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:32,519 Speaker 2: So I developed something I call the lifeguard theory, and 1276 01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:40,959 Speaker 2: it's because of missus Gunnas. Phil, you're not a lifeguard 1277 01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:45,559 Speaker 2: if you're dead, and so getting that training to be 1278 01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 2: a lifeguard and to be a swimming instructor, I internalize that. 1279 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,920 Speaker 2: I think I'm out here. I want to help people. 1280 01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 2: I want to help people survive, and if I can 1281 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 2: do something to save one life, to do it. But 1282 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 2: she had she could see my enthusiasm, and she could 1283 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 2: see where it could go wrong, and she said, Phil, 1284 01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 2: you're not a lifeguard if you're dead. And that stuck 1285 01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:17,040 Speaker 2: with me, and that basic principle, as simple as it 1286 01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:22,320 Speaker 2: might sound, is very complex because if we are to survive, 1287 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,400 Speaker 2: if we don't understand our limitations, what we can do 1288 01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 2: and can't do, and how actually providing assistance could end 1289 01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:34,960 Speaker 2: up with multiple deaths versus saving someone so if I 1290 01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:38,400 Speaker 2: go to save someone that I believe is the right 1291 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 2: choice to save, but that winds up with everyone dead, 1292 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:43,840 Speaker 2: how was I a lifeguard? 1293 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 1: I think the viewers and maybe you don't. Do you 1294 01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,479 Speaker 1: know this Stannard that when you go to save somebody 1295 01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 1: in the water, they'll drown you. Yeah, I mean so 1296 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 1: that when you get that kind of training, you have 1297 01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:02,920 Speaker 1: to understand that they'll take you down with them unintentionally 1298 01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 1: because they're you know, they've kind of lost conscious. And 1299 01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 1: that's what I think you're alluding to that training is 1300 01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:13,639 Speaker 1: that's a very sophisticated level of insight, and it's. 1301 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,719 Speaker 2: A basic principle that applies to so many different aspects 1302 01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:20,080 Speaker 2: of our lives, where we we think we're doing the 1303 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:24,960 Speaker 2: right thing because of some passionate idea, but in the 1304 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:29,400 Speaker 2: end we have to be conscious of the outcome or 1305 01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,559 Speaker 2: the possible potential outcomes and make a decision. It doesn't 1306 01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:36,479 Speaker 2: fix real really that challenge in the sense of I 1307 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,720 Speaker 2: still got to make a decision, but the concept that 1308 01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 2: I'm no longer the useful vehicle to help someone's other 1309 01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,000 Speaker 2: other people's lives because I've now made a bad decision, 1310 01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:58,680 Speaker 2: that her influence just really changed how I look at 1311 01:20:58,960 --> 01:20:59,880 Speaker 2: a lot of things I have. 1312 01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 1: I had a similar experience with the Philosopher that I 1313 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,360 Speaker 1: read when I was young like that, And I say 1314 01:21:05,400 --> 01:21:09,360 Speaker 1: this a lot. If I'm not for myself, who will be? 1315 01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:13,360 Speaker 1: But if I'm only for myself, what am I? It's 1316 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,920 Speaker 1: the same idea but a little different, right is it? 1317 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,479 Speaker 1: Not the same idea but a little different. And I 1318 01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,960 Speaker 1: think this really goes into the religious frame in the 1319 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 1: sense that when Christ said love your neighbor as you 1320 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 1: wish to be loved, you know, we got we got 1321 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:32,800 Speaker 1: givers and takers. That's just the way life is. And 1322 01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:35,760 Speaker 1: sometimes I take and sometimes I give, But overall I'm 1323 01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 1: a giver. I mean I you know. And in fact, 1324 01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 1: if you're out there and you're wondering if you're a 1325 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:42,800 Speaker 1: giver a taker, I ask yourself you got people using you? 1326 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 1: Because if you got people using you, you're probably a giver. 1327 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:48,720 Speaker 1: And that's not a bad thing. I mean, it's just 1328 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,800 Speaker 1: this is like you had to learn that because if 1329 01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,040 Speaker 1: you get used up, you're no longer able to give. 1330 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:57,240 Speaker 1: And that's a lot like government. I mean, that's what 1331 01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:57,960 Speaker 1: you're heading with. 1332 01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:02,719 Speaker 2: This, because there's that balance piece that really drives my thinking. 1333 01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:08,320 Speaker 2: There's a difference between compassion of really taking care of needs, 1334 01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:15,479 Speaker 2: genuine needs, and exploitation and getting that balance because it's 1335 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:18,080 Speaker 2: not all black and white, just one or the other. 1336 01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 2: There are people that might be on the side of 1337 01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:25,759 Speaker 2: exploiting you, but they really don't understand then, they really 1338 01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 2: don't know how they got there, and there's possibility for 1339 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,280 Speaker 2: them to get back in line of having a kind 1340 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,720 Speaker 2: of a purpose driven life. But then on the other 1341 01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:41,479 Speaker 2: end of the spectrum that compassion, getting that balance to 1342 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:45,760 Speaker 2: where you can discern who's actually ill intended and who 1343 01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:51,160 Speaker 2: actually has something good in mind. That's not an easy 1344 01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,960 Speaker 2: part of life. And again it's back to what I 1345 01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,519 Speaker 2: call the lifeguard theory. Yeah, you're not a lifeguard if 1346 01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 2: you're dead. So our state is back to the constitutional republic, 1347 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:07,320 Speaker 2: where we're not a free society if we're dead, and 1348 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:10,840 Speaker 2: socialism and Marxism is going to lead to death. It's 1349 01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:15,160 Speaker 2: fixated on death, it's not fixated on sustaining life and freedom, 1350 01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:20,799 Speaker 2: whereas the constitutional Republic is fixated on building life and freedom, 1351 01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 2: a freedom to let life flourish. 1352 01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,719 Speaker 1: Because that's the most well being state of governance. 1353 01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 4: Right. 1354 01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:32,920 Speaker 1: This is based on experience and experiment. So when you 1355 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 1: have a Marxist and there's Marxists that are going to 1356 01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 1: listen to this right in Minneapolis, and I interact with 1357 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,880 Speaker 1: some of these people pretty regularly. A lot of them 1358 01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,120 Speaker 1: are young, and a lot of them are very idealistic, 1359 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,479 Speaker 1: and they see the problem with Republican governance because we 1360 01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:51,760 Speaker 1: got the users in the Republican side. Also, this requires 1361 01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:57,400 Speaker 1: a certain kind of individual faithfulness which doesn't have to 1362 01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:02,280 Speaker 1: carry into governance as a state religion. It has to 1363 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:05,240 Speaker 1: carry in the governance with you know, enlighten people that 1364 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 1: are purpose driven and their purpose is to do the 1365 01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:11,919 Speaker 1: best they can for the society without getting the boat swamped, 1366 01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,720 Speaker 1: which is what you're talking about right now. And I 1367 01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 1: see this in this growing Marxist movement here in the cities. 1368 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,920 Speaker 1: And what I think these people don't understand is just 1369 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:28,360 Speaker 1: their longevity, just their well being, will be negatively impacted 1370 01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: by this form of governance. And Republicanism, with all of 1371 01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:38,720 Speaker 1: its shortcomings which it has, does seem to historically provide 1372 01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 1: a pathway for the best outcomes in this very short 1373 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,639 Speaker 1: window of time we call my life. And I want 1374 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,880 Speaker 1: that from my children, I want it for Tanner I 1375 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,280 Speaker 1: want it for everybody. But you know, to get that, 1376 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:56,360 Speaker 1: you gotta do something. You gotta develop the life skills. 1377 01:24:56,560 --> 01:25:00,920 Speaker 1: What did you call that organization? Farmers against ray Morons. 1378 01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:05,240 Speaker 1: We don't want to have a society of morons. We 1379 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,640 Speaker 1: want to have a society of purpose driven into you know, 1380 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 1: this is my feeling about it. Why Republicanism is in 1381 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,040 Speaker 1: league in our state. We're having a conversation off Mike, 1382 01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,479 Speaker 1: I mean, why is it this way between the Republicans 1383 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 1: and the Democrats. It's hard to govern purpose driven people. 1384 01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of work to do that 1385 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:30,519 Speaker 1: a bunch of free people. Man talk about herding cats. Yeah, 1386 01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,080 Speaker 1: you know, but when you got a bunch of people 1387 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 1: on the payroll, then the government has a much easier 1388 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 1: And why would you want to be a leftist and 1389 01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:40,720 Speaker 1: be controlled? 1390 01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:41,519 Speaker 2: What? 1391 01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:46,160 Speaker 1: But there seems to be a psychology of people that 1392 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,080 Speaker 1: are willing to accept that and that's just not part 1393 01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:49,400 Speaker 1: of the culture you and I grew up in. 1394 01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, I think the hopefulness is what I'm 1395 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:55,559 Speaker 2: seeing out talking with people and interacting on social media. 1396 01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,439 Speaker 2: That human condition is kicking in where they're recognizing the 1397 01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 2: problem with it and then it's going to feel like 1398 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:08,840 Speaker 2: I'm not or just making false data points. But it's 1399 01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,080 Speaker 2: going to feel like that because you're getting false data 1400 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,720 Speaker 2: points from the legacy media. 1401 01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:14,519 Speaker 1: Hey, you gotta do me a favorite Tanner. When we 1402 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,320 Speaker 1: put this row night, you got to figure out when 1403 01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:21,760 Speaker 1: this conversation got good and say stay till forty three 1404 01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,679 Speaker 1: minutes in because we were pissing around with a bunch 1405 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 1: of policy stuff, and man, when we locked in, we 1406 01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,639 Speaker 1: got to some good stuff. And I think what triggered 1407 01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 1: it is. I think you can be an inspirational speaker 1408 01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:38,840 Speaker 1: and leader. Yeah, And I really don't care. I mean no, 1409 01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:39,439 Speaker 1: I do fear. 1410 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:39,880 Speaker 4: I don't. 1411 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,920 Speaker 3: I don't even think Phil. I want you to know 1412 01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,640 Speaker 3: me personally. You inspire me. 1413 01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:44,439 Speaker 2: Thank you. 1414 01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:46,360 Speaker 4: It's it's something you know. 1415 01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,000 Speaker 3: I hope you don't see it as a weakness for 1416 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,920 Speaker 3: you to shed some tears on this podcast. It shows 1417 01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,880 Speaker 3: me that you're human. One of the best verses in 1418 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:57,679 Speaker 3: the Bible. I can't remember you remember it Jesus wept. Yeah, 1419 01:26:57,720 --> 01:26:58,960 Speaker 3: and that's what I always think of. 1420 01:26:59,080 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 4: So it is. 1421 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:00,160 Speaker 1: Know. 1422 01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:03,200 Speaker 3: I'm really happy to see how emotionally moved you actually are. 1423 01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,280 Speaker 1: Oh, he didn't expect it. That was not acting. I 1424 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,200 Speaker 1: get around these political people and they act like this, 1425 01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,040 Speaker 1: and I get pissed about it. But you are like 1426 01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:14,280 Speaker 1: totally live life with that, which was cool. 1427 01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 4: It shows me that you actually care. 1428 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,840 Speaker 3: And that's that's what's inspiring because a lot of my 1429 01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,000 Speaker 3: cohort we see double faces. 1430 01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 4: That's what we see. 1431 01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:23,640 Speaker 1: Two faces. 1432 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sorry. 1433 01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I appreciate that a lot. Thank you. 1434 01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 2: I'm inspired to kind of share a little bit of 1435 01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 2: a story that I wrote about some time ago. Now 1436 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:36,880 Speaker 2: I'll try to find it and I'll try to bring 1437 01:27:36,880 --> 01:27:39,120 Speaker 2: it back to the top. But I wrote a story 1438 01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:42,719 Speaker 2: about being a father and talking about caring. I spent 1439 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,080 Speaker 2: so much. We have six children between the two of 1440 01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 2: us because of life tragedies and somehow the Holy Spirit 1441 01:27:48,640 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 2: found away for Vicky and I to be together. But 1442 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 2: being a parent, I didn't want my children to go through. 1443 01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,799 Speaker 2: So it's the socialist Marxist I don't want my children 1444 01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,760 Speaker 2: to ever have to live like I live. I spent 1445 01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 2: decades believing in my head and heart, I don't want 1446 01:28:03,520 --> 01:28:05,320 Speaker 2: them to have to live like I had to live. 1447 01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 2: And then I got to this midpoint in life where 1448 01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,479 Speaker 2: the kids are all kind of up and growing and 1449 01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:14,439 Speaker 2: doing their own thing, and I thought, you know, my, my, 1450 01:28:14,760 --> 01:28:18,559 Speaker 2: the two of the children kind of got the worst 1451 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,320 Speaker 2: of me, so to speak, because that the practice. 1452 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 1: Those are the practice kids. 1453 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:25,920 Speaker 2: Even though even though I was maybe well intended, kind 1454 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:29,120 Speaker 2: of like a socialist Marxist, I might have had well 1455 01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 2: intended ideas, but I didn't give them a lot of 1456 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 2: practical skills. I didn't focus on the right points. I 1457 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:38,800 Speaker 2: was out of balance. The youngest one has had the 1458 01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 2: benefit of so this poem that I wrote about for 1459 01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:46,840 Speaker 2: my children that you know, I used to think that 1460 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 2: I don't want you to go through this, but now 1461 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 2: I know I'm abbreviating it. But now I know it 1462 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:56,120 Speaker 2: was my job to help you prepare with skills and 1463 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,920 Speaker 2: ideas to deal with and cope with life, not avoid it. 1464 01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 2: And all of that principle comes from I'm nearly sixty. 1465 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 2: Now comes from just literally lifelong facing the truth and 1466 01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:10,599 Speaker 2: being humble enough to admit I was a screwed up 1467 01:29:10,600 --> 01:29:13,679 Speaker 2: mass at times. I've never had it right at times, 1468 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:16,040 Speaker 2: but there's other times where I did have it right, 1469 01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,600 Speaker 2: and I should have been more courageous, I should have 1470 01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 2: been more determined. And it kind of comes back to 1471 01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:24,160 Speaker 2: a sports analogy. If you see that ball going in 1472 01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:27,920 Speaker 2: the hoop and you're focused on success, you're gonna get there. 1473 01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:31,280 Speaker 2: But if you just focus on I'm a bad dad, 1474 01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:33,040 Speaker 2: or I'm a bad this or a bad dad, or 1475 01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:34,880 Speaker 2: I failed at this or I failed at that, that's 1476 01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 2: what I'm gonna manifest. And so it's connected to this 1477 01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:39,600 Speaker 2: poem there wrote I'll try to find it. 1478 01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:41,960 Speaker 1: Well. That goes for our whole state. I mean, we 1479 01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:47,120 Speaker 1: have this awful division, first of all within the Republican Party, 1480 01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:53,400 Speaker 1: which is just awful. Actually, it's beyond awful now it's 1481 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,160 Speaker 1: become just it's intentional almost Yeah, Okay, so they've got 1482 01:29:57,320 --> 01:30:00,600 Speaker 1: and then we got the left out, which we have 1483 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: this huge gather and we're all American citizens, we're all 1484 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:09,560 Speaker 1: human beings, we all bleed red, we're all going to die, 1485 01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:13,920 Speaker 1: we're all facing the same existential terrors of disease and 1486 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:20,639 Speaker 1: death and separation and loss, and that common humanity can 1487 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:23,320 Speaker 1: bring us together exactly. And we have to find the 1488 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:27,479 Speaker 1: political language because there's life after Donald Trump coming real 1489 01:30:27,560 --> 01:30:30,800 Speaker 1: soon here, and there's really the kind of leadership has 1490 01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: not emerged yet from within any either party. And I 1491 01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: think it's about starting to speak to what brings us 1492 01:30:38,600 --> 01:30:43,120 Speaker 1: together as people and to stop always highlighting what brings 1493 01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:46,360 Speaker 1: us to odds with each other, and what would bring 1494 01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:52,880 Speaker 1: us together, for example, is educating our children not to 1495 01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:56,639 Speaker 1: get jobs in finance, but to live a long, healthy 1496 01:30:56,680 --> 01:31:00,439 Speaker 1: life to be able to cope with these chain challenges 1497 01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:05,040 Speaker 1: in life. I would be totally great with paying teachers 1498 01:31:05,080 --> 01:31:08,479 Speaker 1: a lot more money if the curriculum would be changed 1499 01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:10,920 Speaker 1: with the feedback loop. But we're going to start people. 1500 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,360 Speaker 1: What do you call that? How to start a fire? 1501 01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,120 Speaker 1: How to how to make a fire? 1502 01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:17,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, just how to make a basic fire. 1503 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 1: You know who knows how to do that in the 1504 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:24,400 Speaker 1: city now without a lighter, that'd be nobody. 1505 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:24,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1506 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:26,840 Speaker 3: When I learned as boy Scouts, they hand us one 1507 01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:29,360 Speaker 3: single match and they told us, this is it. If 1508 01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,080 Speaker 3: you don't if you don't get it lit, you're trying 1509 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:34,040 Speaker 3: again next week. Maybe we'll see if you can get 1510 01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:34,599 Speaker 3: the badge. 1511 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,680 Speaker 1: And then I'm thinking, as he says, boy scouts, that's 1512 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:43,479 Speaker 1: another institution that's been besmirched by the general degradation and 1513 01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:47,559 Speaker 1: corruption of all of our critical institutions, which then makes 1514 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,240 Speaker 1: people not want to participate. You know, we have to 1515 01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: get back to some basic like you say, it's not right, 1516 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:58,360 Speaker 1: it's not left, it's not blue, it's not red. It's 1517 01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:02,320 Speaker 1: the common sense of what's true, just and good, correct, correct, 1518 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:03,600 Speaker 1: and you're get interaction with that. 1519 01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:05,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's a lot of hope there. I'm finding 1520 01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:07,760 Speaker 2: a lot of hope there that the great majority of 1521 01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:11,360 Speaker 2: us are actually thinking like us. They really are, and 1522 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,920 Speaker 2: they don't get enough attention, they don't get enough credit 1523 01:32:13,960 --> 01:32:16,599 Speaker 2: for it, and that's unfortunate. But we don't have to 1524 01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 2: worry about that anymore. We have each other, we can 1525 01:32:19,120 --> 01:32:22,800 Speaker 2: have conversations, we have communication devices that we can amplify 1526 01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:27,160 Speaker 2: the common discussion. And there's a lot of people like 1527 01:32:27,280 --> 01:32:29,080 Speaker 2: us that are there's a lot of hope there. I'm 1528 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:32,480 Speaker 2: seeing a lot of hope. I'm actually inspired. I appreciate 1529 01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:37,360 Speaker 2: that you're inspired by me, but I'm inspired by just 1530 01:32:37,439 --> 01:32:41,200 Speaker 2: these chance meetings of running into people with these great 1531 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:44,400 Speaker 2: ideas that inspires me. And that's part of why I'm 1532 01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:47,000 Speaker 2: doing this, is because I think we can focus on 1533 01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:50,320 Speaker 2: those people that have good ideas and inspiring ideas. And 1534 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,720 Speaker 2: we got to stop dismissing people and putting them into categories. 1535 01:32:54,760 --> 01:32:57,960 Speaker 2: And you're electable or you're not electable, or you're worth 1536 01:32:58,000 --> 01:32:59,800 Speaker 2: listening to, or you're not worth listening to. 1537 01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, that electable thing, you know, you're We're going to 1538 01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:08,000 Speaker 1: go for another two hours. That's another scam that because 1539 01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:10,879 Speaker 1: we don't know what what what? Who's electable? 1540 01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:11,840 Speaker 2: Who's to judge it? 1541 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,400 Speaker 1: Who's the judge? Seriously, well, we know who the judge 1542 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:17,720 Speaker 1: thinks he is, but. 1543 01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:20,360 Speaker 4: It's supposed to be the people. People are the judge. 1544 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 1: But well, the people, the people I think are lacking 1545 01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:27,160 Speaker 1: in inspiration. So I'm going to just close by saying 1546 01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,240 Speaker 1: we need a new generational leadership that helps the American 1547 01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 1: people rediscover not the Republican Party, but the concept of 1548 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:39,640 Speaker 1: republicanism and what it is to be self governing and 1549 01:33:39,680 --> 01:33:42,120 Speaker 1: to be free and how that ties in the well being. 1550 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,479 Speaker 1: And I think if you do that, you're going to 1551 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,040 Speaker 1: be out there by yourself, because I think you understand it, 1552 01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:49,479 Speaker 1: because I know your history. You know when you say 1553 01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:51,760 Speaker 1: you learn a lot of life lessons on the battlefield, 1554 01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:54,880 Speaker 1: you're not kidding. Unlike some of the folks that we 1555 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:59,120 Speaker 1: have been subjected to, those are great lessons that make 1556 01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:03,160 Speaker 1: you strong and share that's critical. Anyhow, it's so great 1557 01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:05,800 Speaker 1: that you came in You're always welcome here. All of 1558 01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:07,640 Speaker 1: the candidates are welcome here, and we're going to have 1559 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:11,920 Speaker 1: other candidates come in because we want to well, of course, 1560 01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to steer the dialogue. I want the dialogue 1561 01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:19,720 Speaker 1: to be philosophical in addition to all these minutia that 1562 01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:24,920 Speaker 1: relative to well being, how much I pay for a fee. 1563 01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:27,759 Speaker 1: I mean, it's important, I'm not saying. But the people 1564 01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:30,160 Speaker 1: that are focused on fees, we get them focused on 1565 01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:33,160 Speaker 1: long life and prosperity. That's what we want to talk about. 1566 01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:36,120 Speaker 1: Any Thanks Phil, thank you so much for coming.
