1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Your holster is way more important than you think it is. 2 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: It's just way more important than you think it is. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What look, and I get that. The holsters not the 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: sexy part of carrying firearms. All right, You want to 5 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: talk about your weapon and your ammunition. You want to 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: talk about your safety training. You want to talk about 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: how you did at the range. Oh, look at my groups. 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 1: I was doing these failure drills today, and all that 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: stuff is really important. I mean, really really important. I'm 10 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: not discounting that, but I've known so many people who 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: do all those things. They take all the necessary steps, 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,199 Speaker 1: and then they carry with a holster they bought from 13 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: a big box hunting store that was made a thousand 14 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: at a time. Please don't put your life in one 15 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: of those holsters. You need to trust Northwest Retention Systems 16 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: because it's all custom made gear. It's the only thing 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: I carry around NW Retention dot Com. That's NW Retention 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: dot Com used to promo co Jesse gets you ten 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: percent off. Extremes, extreme people, how do we get them? 20 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 1: James Comey not an extreme person but kind of a goober. 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: How did we end up with him? And finally, something 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: really really impressive, maybe as impressive as me. All that's 23 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: coming up right now on I'm right, you ever heard 24 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: of ancient Sparta? I mean, of course you have, right, 25 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: everybody has heard on some level of Sparta, Sparta, athlans, 26 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: Peloponnesian war, Sparta, the military state. You know, you've seen 27 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: the movie three hundred. But your dudes with spears and 28 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: shields and rippling abs fighting Persians, the Spartans. Everyone knows well, 29 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: the Spartans had something interesting. They're fascinating people. People have 30 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: studied them forever. I loved them. Dudes love Sparta. They 31 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: were all about military life. Now I don't mean fans, 32 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't mean well, I mean, look, we strongly encourage it. 33 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you were a dude, you were going 34 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: to be in the military. They didn't really view anything 35 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: else as a priority at all, and everything in their 36 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: society was geared towards raising military super soldiers. They're they're 37 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: the ultimate experiment. Can you raise a military super soldier? 38 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: Even their women, the Spartan women were supposed to be 39 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: some of the hottest chicks in the history of mankind 40 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: because they were physical fitness freaks. Because they believe fit 41 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: women would raise stronger men, would produce stronger kids. Every 42 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: part of their society was for that. And the part 43 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: of Sparta that fascinates me the most, especially now that 44 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: I'm a dad, is seven years old. If you were 45 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: a Spartan boy, they took you from your parents, from 46 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,119 Speaker 1: your mother really, because dad was in the military. They 47 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: took you from your mother at seven years old, not 48 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: for a weekend. You're gone by mom, and the training 49 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: and beatings and extremely harsh military education began at seven 50 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: years old. We look at all the Spartan military accomplishments, 51 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: and there are many, and even back in their time, 52 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: the people who lived in their time were scared to 53 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: death of them. Sparta was famous for maybe the coolest 54 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: thing about them. They didn't even have a wall around 55 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: their city. Every city had a wall, not Sparta. Sparta's 56 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Sparta's attitude was all, please give it a shot, and 57 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: nobody really did. How did they get so great? Well, extremes. 58 00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: They created an extreme environment. Extreme environments create stream people. 59 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: That's the good cool part of that. The bad part 60 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: of that is extreme environments create monsters too. All the time. 61 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: Whenever you have extreme anything, extreme wealth, extreme poverty, extreme harshness, 62 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: you will create extremes and oftentimes not extremes. You like, 63 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: why do you think radical Islamic terrorists love recruiting in 64 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: places like Yemen where there's no money and no food 65 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: because it's an extreme environment. And how psycho do you 66 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: have to be to walk in a movie theater full 67 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: of kids and blow yourself up. Well, if you're going 68 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: to find a young man willing to do that, you 69 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: better go to an extreme environment to find one. Extremes. 70 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 1: I have long worried about the violence from the left 71 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: and the United States of America, not just because I 72 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: worry a about people getting hurt, and I do not 73 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: only because I think it's bad for the country it is. 74 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: I worry because eventually there is going to be an 75 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: extreme response from the right. We're not there yet. I 76 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: don't want to ever get there. It's why I've been 77 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: so loud about putting down this Antifa Black Lives Matter 78 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: crap early and often, because I'm worried it's going to 79 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: give rise to another white supremacist movement of some kind. 80 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: We don't want that, we don't need that obviously, or 81 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: even if it's not white supremacist, some kind of violent 82 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: movement on the right, you allow leftist bullies to tear 83 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: through American cities like this, murder and assault Trump supporters 84 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: like this burn things down. You step back and allow 85 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: that for too long. Don't think that you're the only 86 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: power around. That's an extreme environment. I read a story 87 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: this morning about a Louisville shop owner who has slept 88 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: in his shop now for over a hundred days, just 89 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: trying to keep his business alive. Laying there in his 90 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: shop with a weapon in his hands. That's an extreme environment. 91 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: That's why I've been begging so loudly to stop this insanity. 92 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: And that's why I actually worry about this new rhetoric 93 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: we have, well not necessarily new, but they're ramping it 94 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: up now about white supremacists. Do you denounce white supremacy 95 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: or you a white supremacist. Well, one, let's be clear 96 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: about something. There is no powerful white supremacist movement and 97 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: anyway in the United States of America, there's not, and 98 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: thank God for that. I mean, we obviously don't want one. 99 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: Anytime you've ever seen a white supremacist rally, it's been 100 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: what five fat KKK guys on the corner somewhere, surrounded 101 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 1: by police officers to make sure, all the citizens yelling 102 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: at them, don't beat the crap out of them. They're 103 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: not what they were. They're nothing. You're scorned, shamed as 104 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: you should be. However, we're gonna get one. Keep poking 105 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: at people, keep prodding at people, We're gonna get one. 106 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: And I look at how the press has treated groups 107 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: like Proud Boys, and I'll be honest, I don't even 108 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: know who the Proud Boys really are. It's just not 109 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: something that's ever interested me. I'm not anti Proud Boy, 110 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm not pro Proud Boy. I just don't know what 111 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: they are. I do know this about them, though, I 112 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: have friends who know them, and I know that they 113 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: come from all races, and they show up lots of 114 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: times and get in street fights with the Antifa guys. Okay, 115 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: they're not out there praying on innocent citizens like Black 116 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Lives Matter is, like Antifa is. You can disagree with 117 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: showing up and getting in street brawls with Antifa, that's fine, 118 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: but that don't make them white supremacists. And yet we're 119 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: calling them white supremacists. We have the American media on 120 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: the national stage demanding Donald Trump denounced them as white supremacists. Well, 121 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: they're not white supremacists. Now their leaders black. I think 122 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: he's black in Hispanic. But we're going to get one, 123 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: that is, if you don't clean this stuff up now, 124 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump speaking of this, Donald Trump was put on 125 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: the spot on that debate the other night. You saw it, 126 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: already played it before you watched this. Again, I don't 127 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: know who the Proud Boys are. I mean, you have 128 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: to give me a definitione. Because I really don't know 129 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: who they are. I can only say they have to 130 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: stand down, let law enforcement do their work. Law enforcement 131 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: will do the work more and more as people see 132 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: how bad this radical liberal Democrat movement is and how 133 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: weak the law enforcement is going to come back stronger 134 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: and stronger. But again, I don't know who Proud Boys are. 135 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: But whoever they are, they have to stand down, let 136 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: law enforcement do their work. Okay, why is Donald Trump 137 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: talking about that? Still? I'm not trying to do be 138 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: too hard on the man here. Why are we talking 139 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: about a group I cover politics for a living four 140 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: hours a day, three hours of radio, an hour on TV, 141 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: talking to you every single night, and I don't know 142 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: who they are. He doesn't know who they are, And 143 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: yet the president of the United States is now answering 144 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 1: multiple questions on national television about them, because we're letting 145 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: the media poke in praude and poke in praude until 146 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: we're going to create something in this country that you 147 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: and I don't want. Believe me when I tell you 148 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: that you want to talk about extremes creating extremes. Joe 149 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: Biden is the Democratic nominee for President of the United 150 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: States of America. I currently don't think he's going to win, 151 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: but he's ahead in every single pool, some of these 152 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: pools significantly, which means there's a good chance that Joe 153 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: Biden and oh not very long, is about to be 154 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: the leader of the free world. And he's putting out 155 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: campaign ads calling Kyle Rittenhouse to say, seventeen year old 156 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: kid who shot those ANTIFA guys in self defense in Kenosha, 157 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: he's calling him a white supremacist. Are you willing tonight 158 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: to condemn white supremisis and militia groups and to say 159 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: that they need to stand down and not add to 160 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: the violence and a number of big cities, as we 161 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: saw in Kenosha and as we've seen in Portland. I 162 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: got to say I would say almost everything I see 163 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 1: is from the left wing, not from the right. So 164 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: what do you what do you love? Are you saying 165 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm willing to do anything?

What do you want to call him? 168 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: Give me a name, give me ancis like to stand 169 00:10:47,480 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: back and stand by. That's from the Biden Harris campaign. 170 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: By the grace of God, Lynnwood, attorney for Kyle Rittenhouse, 171 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: is announced he will sue Joe Biden over that quote. 172 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: On behalf of Kyle Rittenhouse. I shall sue Joe Biden 173 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: and the Biden Harris campaign for libel. I am partisan 174 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty supporting Donald Trump. I am a nonpartisan 175 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: trial lawyer who aggressively pursues the truth to achieve justice. 176 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: Put in your hearing a Joe, you will hear footsteps. 177 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: Good for him. I'm glad people like Nicholas Sandman and 178 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Rittenhouse are suing these people. However, there is a 179 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: danger if we don't put a stop to this Democrat 180 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: rhetoric in calling everybody a Nazi, a white supremacist, a militia, 181 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: a white supremacist, a white nationalists, the Nazi I'm militia. 182 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: You hear it over and over and over again, and 183 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: not from some jerkwater idiot on the internet. You're hearing 184 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: it from the most powerful Democrats on the planet. Here's 185 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: Nancy Peloschi, a speaker over the time. People have said 186 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 1: to me, keeps you up at night? The night of 187 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: the debate, you saw what keeps me up at night. 188 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: To see a president of the United States in a 189 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: debate with a potential president of the United States, refuse 190 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: to condemn white supremist, refuse to commit to refuse to 191 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: commit to a peaceful transfer of government, to ignore the 192 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: climate crisis as our country is burning and our coasts 193 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: are hit by fierce storms, to be there to crush 194 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act instead of crushing the virus keeps 195 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: her up at night. I'll shut up. But that is 196 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: dangerous talk. It is dangerous talk because it's creating the 197 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: extreme environment we have given leftists. Why do you think 198 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: we've had four years of leftist violence against Trump supporters 199 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: because they're Trump supporters. You remember, we kicked all this 200 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 1: off with a GOP congressman shot by a would be 201 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: assassin who showed up at that softball practice specifically to 202 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: kill Goop. Congressman. That's how it began. You don't even 203 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: remember it anymore. I hardly remember it. We don't think 204 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: about it. This is creating an extremist environment. You point 205 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: your finger at this group of people and say they're Nazis, 206 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: they're white supremacists, they're Nazis, they're white supremacists. Eventually, your 207 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: supporters are going to act on that violently, as they 208 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: have now for four years. And if they continue acting 209 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: like that for four years, you're going to force some 210 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: people in that group to become the extremist you've pretended 211 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: they are. We have to stop this stuff now. And 212 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: when it's coming from the most powerful people, you feel 213 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: like if you're some leftists, you feel like you have 214 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: permission now, don't you, Okay? Joe Biden says they're Nazis. 215 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi said they're white supremacists. Again, what won't your 216 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 1: conscience allow you to do to a white supremacist, to 217 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: a Nazi, You can do anything to them, right. The 218 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: ultimate evil you're going to create them is what you're 219 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: going to do. We are going to have a white 220 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: supremacist movement rise again in this country, and that sucks, 221 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: and these Democrats are going to be responsible for it. 222 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: If we don't calm this nonsense down, we are creating 223 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: the extreme environment that creates some really, really, really bad people. 224 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm telling you it's coming. All that may have 225 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:49,239 Speaker 1: made you uncomfortable, but I'm right now. Are you uncomfortable? 226 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: Are you uncomfortable with the violence and craziness you see 227 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: on the news? Probably, I would hope. So. I don't 228 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: like seeing American cities burn. I don't like seeing anybody 229 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: in any political party get hurt. Well, are you practicing 230 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: with your weapon? You're not practicing as much as you should. 231 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: I know you're not, because I'm not an I prioritize that. 232 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: But I'm approving because now I have an eye target, 233 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: and I don't have to leave my house.

I don't have 235 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: to spend fifty bucks one hundred bucks on m L 236 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: every time I go to the range. I got an 237 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: eye target. It's a laser bullet in the caliber of 238 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: your choosing. You put it in your weapon. They send 239 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: you a little target with it, and you practice with 240 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: your real weapon and the comfort of your home.

We'll be back well 244 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: in the same world, and you know, a world that 245 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: you would think is relatively normal. The former director of 246 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: the Federal Bureau of Investigation giving testimony in front of 247 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: the United States Senate about his conduct during an apparent 248 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: illegal investigation, and to the opponent of the President of 249 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: the United States, that would be like headline news. It's 250 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: not even enough to leave my show. But it is 251 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: a big deal. James Comey standing in front of the 252 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: Senate giving an accounting of himself and his FBI for 253 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: their conduct is a big deal. Thank Lord on High. 254 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: We have people like Senator Ted Cruz who are willing 255 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: to ask some hard questions. This investigation of the president 256 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: was corrupt. The FBI and the Department of Justice were 257 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 1: politicized and weaponized, and in my opinion, there are only 258 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: two possibilities that you were deliberately corrupt or willfully incompetent, 259 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: and I don't believe you were incompetent. This has done 260 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: severe damage to the fessionals and the honorable men and 261 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: women at the FBI, because law enforcement should not be 262 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 1: used as a political weapon, and that is the legacy 263 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: you've left. That made me uncomfortable. Maybe maybe that's because 264 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: I know Senator Cruz, but I felt like that was 265 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: my dad telling me he's disappointed in me. I wasn't 266 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: even staying there, and that made me uncomfortable. You know 267 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: how hard it is to make me uncomfortable. I don't 268 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: even have morals or a soul, but I don't want 269 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: to make light of it. I don't because we do 270 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: need to keep in mind. And I know I've said 271 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: this to you before, but it is important that you remember. 272 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 1: There probably isn't anything more dangerous going on in America 273 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: than a politicized federal law enforcement arm. You could argue 274 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: all day long about the FBI doing this, or should 275 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: we even have an FBI or something, we don't have 276 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 1: to do that. Let's acknowledge this. We do have a 277 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: federal law enforcement arm, the FBI. They do have the 278 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: power to destroy your life, my life like that. It's 279 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: nothing for them. And so you do have a higher standard, 280 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: or should have a higher standard to work there, right 281 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: to stay employed there? Right shouldn't you? And the reason 282 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 1: you should have such a high standard is they have 283 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: so much power, and if they're going to be turned 284 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: into a political weapon by President Barack Obama and others 285 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: in the past, should we have them? I asked, I 286 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: said it. I'm not apologizing for it. Should we have 287 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: an FBI? Should Donald Trump break the FBI into a 288 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: thousand pieces and scatter into the winds? In the words 289 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: of JFK even though you're talking about the CIA, I'm 290 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: asking because it's hard to explain how big of a 291 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 1: deal it is if the Federal Bureau of Investigation is 292 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: going to become the enforcement arm of the Democratic Party. 293 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: That goes way beyond even having the media in your pocket. 294 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: You can't do what was done. You can't take a 295 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: bad source who you know is a bad source bringing 296 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: you bad information and you know it's bad information. You 297 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: can't take that information, go to the FISA court and 298 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: get a warrant to spy on the opponent of the 299 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: President of the United States. You don't have the freedom 300 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: to make that oopsie, ah, sorry, you don't have the 301 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: freedom to say what James Comey tried to say here. 302 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: How would you rank rate the Crossfire Hurricane investigation in 303 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: terms of being done thoroughly by the book an investigation 304 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: the FBI should be proud of. I'm not sure I 305 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: can apply a number scale, but I would say in 306 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: the main it was done by the book. It was appropriate, 307 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: and it was essential that it be done. Okay, so 308 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: you're proud of it. Overall, I'm proud of the work. 309 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: There are parts of it that are concerning, which I'm 310 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 1: sure we'll talk about, But overall, I'm proud of the work. 311 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: Parts of it are concerning. You only put a little 312 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: bit of poison in the punch at the wedding. Is 313 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: that what we're doing here? Parts of it are concerning. 314 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: You were the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. 315 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: James Comey right now should be surrounded by lawyers, concerned 316 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: that he's about to spend the next fifty years of 317 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: his life in Leavenworth in a country interested in saving itself. 318 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: He would be Instead, he's doing a skype or zoom 319 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: interview with the Senate, a little concerned. It was mostly okay, 320 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: I mean, except for using a bad source to get 321 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: a FISA warrant. Other than that, it was fine. We 322 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: have got some major major adjustments to make with the 323 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: bureaucracy in this country. Lindsey Graham. I don't know if 324 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: I should be excited about this or not. I guess 325 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: it's television time, Lindsay Graham, see upset. I just want 326 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: to understand this. It's an ex parte event. It means 327 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 1: that the cops have a duty to tell the court 328 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: when they find things beneficial to the person under investigation. 329 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: And over and over again between October and June, all 330 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: the information found about the docier made it less reliable, 331 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: not more reliable, and you kept using again and again 332 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: and again, and the question was their bias? At what 333 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: point in time do you put two and two together 334 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: that the people behind this hated Trump and the reason 335 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: they ran all these top signs they didn't want to 336 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: take no for an answer. I have to ask, and 337 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I know this is uncomfortable. I do because we like 338 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: to cheer for our team ran. You know I'm hard 339 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: on them time to time. But I have to ask, 340 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: what date do you currently have? You can check your 341 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: watch or your calendar real quick. Let me see my watch, 342 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: says man. My watches October first. I decided to check 343 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: my film make sure that was right too. We've known 344 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: about this for a long time. October first, puts us, 345 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: oh give or take carry the one about a month 346 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: away from the presidential election. Why are we just now 347 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: having this? What's the hold up? Where's justice? Where are 348 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: the indictments? Where are the plea deals? Where's the congressional testimony? 349 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: Are we ever gonna get it? Or are we just 350 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: gonna get more? Thirty second one minute blurbs from Lindsey 351 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: Graham talking about how Maddie is and what an injustice 352 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: it is. Guess what If nobody's going to jail, then 353 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 1: it wasn't an injustice because the next guy's gonna do 354 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: it again, and then the next guy's gonna do it again, 355 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: and then the next guy's gonna do it again.

Any idea at all? 361 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to give it away here, but it's 362 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot. That's in one year. People.

Somebody you're probably going to 375 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: recognize from Fox News, Fox Business, Epic Times that he 376 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: has a new book out there called The Divided Era, 377 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: How We Got Here and the Keys to America's Reconciliation. 378 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: Tom del Bacaro, Tom, How did we get so divided? 379 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 1: I have a million in one theories. You're the expert. 380 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, everybody sees were like this and heading that 381 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: way quickly. How you know I often use those that 382 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: was hand gestures. Look, at the end of the day, 383 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 1: every decision government makes, it picks a winner and a 384 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: loser and someone to pay for it, and it sets 385 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: off a comp petition to get those spoils. I mean 386 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: government handed out all our governments handed out over ten 387 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: trillion dollars in the last twelve months. So there's a 388 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: competition to get the money. There's, of course, the huge 389 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: competition to be the ones to hand it out among 390 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: the parties, and then everybody fights over taxes. So as 391 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: I like to say, the more government decides, the more 392 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: it divides. And it's really mathematical. The bigger the government gets, 393 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: the more divisive it becomes. So you think the American 394 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: people at all, I mean, put a percentage on it. 395 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: What percentage of the American people realize the obvious truth 396 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: of what you just said. That's the number that scares me. 397 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: Almost none, because Jesse, just think about it, and I 398 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: know you know this. They constantly turned to government in 399 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,479 Speaker 1: the old days. You know, if your sidewalk was broken, 400 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: there was something in your neighborhood, you got together and 401 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 1: you fix things together. There. That's not the way it 402 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: is now. People constantly turned to government and fight for 403 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 1: it and demand that government pay it for it. When 404 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: government was smaller, there was the line in the sixties, oh, 405 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: I can't give it to you. I gave it the office. 406 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Now it's oh, I can't give it to you. I 407 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: already gave it to government. Government crowds out charity along 408 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: the way, and even that's more divisive. Okay, could we 409 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: have stopped it? I mean you look at obviously the 410 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: art of history in general. Whatever free societies there have 411 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: been none really like ours. It's always resulted in more 412 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: government eventually. But is there's something we could have done? 413 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: Is there one big mistake we made? What is it? 414 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: If there is? While you know, the founders believed, like 415 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: you did, they wanted government to be small and local, 416 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: and they wanted to slow it down. They came up 417 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: with the three branches based on what Monaschy thought about, 418 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: because they thought that would slow the process. So whenever 419 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: you hear this line about oh, they're not doing anything 420 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: in Washington, I'm like, oh, finally, they're not doing something 421 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: in Washington to hurt us further. But the history of government, 422 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: whether and our founders knew about the fall of Rown, 423 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: they knew about the fall of Greece, ancient Greece democracy 424 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: in the fifth century and fourth century BC. And you know, 425 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: during crisis, government lurches forward. So it lurched forward during 426 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 1: the Civil War it lurched forward during the New Deal 427 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: and the court packing scheme of Roosevelt and his threats 428 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: change the Constitution nine to eleven, consolidated homeland security, and 429 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: you had all you know, all the spying now that 430 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: goes on, and now COVID out here in California, COVID. 431 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: We've lost our rights. So the answer is our founders, 432 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: said Franklin in particular, if you can keep it, and 433 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: as usual in history, we're not keeping it very well. 434 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: It's just a government school. However, there are things that 435 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: can be done. I don't want to be so negative. 436 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: You have to grow the private sector, get people off 437 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: government mindle, and then have wise leaders like a solemn 438 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: reduce government expenditures in some area. Often, however, what happens 439 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: is government has to fail in some significant regard, like 440 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: in Michigan, and then the private sector takes over again 441 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: and the budget shrinks for a while. So it often 442 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: is crisis that can lead to innovation. But we'll have 443 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: to see. Okay, well, I mean, with all due respect, 444 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: I agree, but I don't see any of those things 445 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: happening soon. I don't see people on government assistance lining 446 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: up to get off of it. Just because that's the 447 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: nature of manna. Doesn't mean they're bad people. When you're 448 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: sitting there on the government goal, you don't want off 449 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: the government goal. I don't see people getting out of 450 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: the government school system. I don't see people even caring 451 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: about the dead and deficit publicans. Do we just blow 452 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: cash like no tomorrow because like like there's no debt 453 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: crisis coming, Jesse, think about it. The federal budget was 454 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: supposed to be four point nine trillion dollars this year, 455 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: and with COVID between the Federal Reserve, they spent a 456 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: normal expenditure or additional expenditures, they spent an additional five 457 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: trillion dollars, literally doubling the expenditure. And you and I 458 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: both know about that came at the expense and at 459 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: least in the short run of the deficit. So the key, 460 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: of course is having a growth. Historically you have to 461 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 1: have growth above three percent in order for people to 462 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: come off of the government doal. You saw the Social 463 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: security disability go from the thirteen million back down to 464 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: ten and eleven million, and it was shrinking prior to COVID, 465 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 1: So you have to have strong growth and then you 466 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: have to have wise leaders that will actually say, Okay, 467 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: we're going to reduce government. Where are those wise leaders? 468 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: That's the problem. How do we get them? How do 469 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: we it? Is it just things like well, the American 470 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: people have to want it. I mean that sounds nice 471 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: to say, but they clearly don't want it right now. 472 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: Where do we get these wise leaders? I've actually argued before, 473 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: and everybody throws stuff into television when I bring it up. 474 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: I think we should up congressional pay. I don't think 475 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: you can get quality people who you want in government 476 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty five grand a year. What 477 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: should we do? Well, it's interesting you said that because 478 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: here in California, I've said many times they have a 479 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: full time, literally full time legislature, and that's the problem. 480 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: Every day they're in business, they're pushing us out of business. 481 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: If it was a true smaller legislature like Texas, you 482 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: get less growth. So there are examples of that. And 483 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: I had a really good conservative I'm Chuck DeVore where 484 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: you might recognize his name, say to me, well, be careful. 485 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: If it's really that small, then you won't attract good people. 486 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: And I said, look, I'll triple your salary if government 487 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: stays away and only works a couple of months. So 488 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: there's that notion. But also keep this in mind. In 489 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: New York City, if you look, and I mentioned this 490 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: in my book The Divided Era, if you look at 491 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: Central Park. Central Park is one of the best run 492 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: parks in America, but it's a private conservatory. Yes, it 493 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 1: gets some government funding, but it mainly relies on its 494 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: own fundraising efforts. And why did it come about, Well, 495 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: because in the seventies New York was really badly run. 496 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: It's very badly run now, and it was Central Park 497 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: was going to suffer, so they agreed to offload it 498 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: from the government budget and let that private conservatory work. Eventually, 499 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: we're going to have a lot of those examples as 500 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: these governments go broke for the reasons you know and 501 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: have talked about over the years. All right, tom So 502 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: do you think that Look, I'm trying to be optimistic here, 503 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: do you think the emptying of American city might actually 504 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: help us become less divided? I don't want to be 505 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: pie in the sky about it, but when I see 506 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: that moving companies in places like New York City, they're 507 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 1: turning people away because they're busy moving so many people 508 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: out these crazy cities with these insane protests they're emptying 509 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: as people flood to the countryside. Could I argue that 510 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: that could help. Yeah, it's interesting and in the same 511 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: manner that over from the sixties on to today, you 512 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: had movement out of the northeast towards the southwest, and 513 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: that had a moderating factor. Look, there's an argument to 514 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: be made that if Trump wins, the Democrats will say 515 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: AOC Bernie Warren sector of that party, which is forty 516 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: percent of that party and controls it to a significant degree, 517 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 1: they will say the morning after whenever that morning after is, 518 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: they will say, you know what, we weren't left enough. 519 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: Biden wasn't a true believer. They're gonna want to go 520 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: even farther left. You're gonna see historic vote among Latinos 521 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: and Blacks for the president in what could be a realignment. 522 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: And then the Democrats, as they move forward, become the 523 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: labor party, become less relevant, and there's your opportunity for 524 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: Republicans to be true reformers and we could get to 525 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 1: a better place. Tom Delbacaro go by his book The 526 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: Divided Era. Where can people get your book? Man?

You lay down and you 539 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 1: close your eyes and your mind just starts going a 540 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: mile a minute and you can't turn it off. EBB 541 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: Sleep is the one thing I've ever found that actually 542 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: targets the racing thoughts.

We'll be back joining me now 549 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: from the great State of Pennsylvania. Congressman Mike Kelly, Congressman. 550 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 1: What are we going to see on the House floor 551 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: between now and the election? Anything? Nothing? I'm assuming just gridlock, right, 552 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I think you're right. I think you're 553 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: spot on. What we are going to see is a 554 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of ridiculous messaging, pieces of legislation that have no 555 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: chance and hanc up going anywhere. But it's going to 556 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: be spend, spend, spend, and uh, you know, listen, the 557 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,400 Speaker 1: majority is going to pass what they want to pass. 558 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: They know what they when they put out there won't 559 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: ever really become anything that gets put into the force. 560 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: But I've never seen people so willing to completely distort 561 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: what's going on in the country as this group is. 562 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: That's it's absolutely horrible was taking place. And I think 563 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 1: the greatest victim, of course, is going to be the 564 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: faith and trust that the American people have in our 565 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: in our form of government. Why anybody would squander that 566 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: so carelessly is beyond anything I could possibly imagine. But 567 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, Jet, We're not going to see anything. We're 568 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,799 Speaker 1: not going to see anything that makes sense. You know, 569 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: maybe we should be happy about that. I'm glad you 570 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,320 Speaker 1: brought up that term squander and you know, the destruction 571 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: of faith. Do you think there are still plenty of 572 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: people in Congress who genuinely are aware of that and 573 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: care about that, that the faith in government is really 574 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: at an all time low and it's getting worse by 575 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: the day. Do they know and don't care or do 576 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: they not know? They know and I think they care, 577 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 1: But I don't think. I think there's a lack of 578 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: bravery when it comes to standing up for what you 579 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: know is right because it doesn't fit in with the 580 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: agenda that your party's pushing. Speaker Bainer used to say 581 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: all the time. Look, I want you all to vote 582 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 1: with exactly you have in your heart. I don't want 583 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: you to ever think that anything that I put on 584 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: is the only thing you can you can vote vote for. 585 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you how to vote, He's never said. 586 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 1: He said, I always want you to vote your own 587 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,279 Speaker 1: own heart and your own commitment to the to the 588 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: to the districts that you're from. This other side. I 589 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I have a lot of friends on 590 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: the other side who would love to be part of 591 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,239 Speaker 1: some meaningful legislation, who would love to be able to 592 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: stand up and say not on my watch. But in 593 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:01,560 Speaker 1: that party, you do that, and you you have a 594 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: very short lived opportunity to be in Congress. That's just 595 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,719 Speaker 1: the way it is. And they don't mind telling you that, 596 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: except Jesse for these four freshmen that came in this 597 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 1: year that have absolutely or this session, that have absolutely 598 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 1: run the Speaker of the House off her normal game 599 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 1: plan where she would really hold people tight and say listen, 600 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna knuckle you under if you don't do it 601 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: this way. This group has gotten away with some things 602 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: that's incredible, things that you know, we would used to 603 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,759 Speaker 1: hear and say, oh, people need whisper about that. In 604 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: dark rooms and back alleys. They don't talk about socialism, 605 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: they don't talk about communism, they don't talk about insurrection, 606 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 1: they don't talk about being a vandal or being an anarchist. 607 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: And that's okay because people, as a speaker so famously says, 608 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: people will do what they will do, and I said, well, no, 609 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,399 Speaker 1: that's why we have laws, man, That's why we have laws. 610 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of people on the 611 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,879 Speaker 1: other party that would love to vote what's in their 612 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: heart and what's in their souls, but they know that's 613 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 1: a that's a career ender. If you don't, you don't 614 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 1: follow the party's platform, you're done. I mean, look at it, 615 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: just and you take it across the board. Pro life 616 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: is one that always has bothered me when you talk 617 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: to them individually and they take, well, my personal preference 618 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: would be but and I said, no, no, no, stick 619 00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: to your personal preference. Go to where you know your 620 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: is right, and go to where you know your heart is. 621 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,480 Speaker 1: Don't tell me this other thing. That's an excuse. Okay. 622 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: So they're scared of Speaker Pelosi. I've heard this plenty 623 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 1: of times before, and you brought up you know if 624 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: they if they stray, they're going to be run out 625 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 1: of Congress. How exactly how can she get somebody out 626 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 1: who got elected from their district. What can she do? 627 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: She clearly has a lot of powers. They're scared to 628 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: death of her. She's the biggest fundraiser raiser this I 629 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: think that this Congress, this legislative body has ever seen. 630 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 1: She controls a lot of the funding for re elections. 631 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: Primaries have great importance to people. Um and and she 632 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: has the ability to take you off committees that you 633 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: would be be relevant on and where your district would 634 00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: look at you and say, you know him, he's doing 635 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: a great job or she's doing a great job. They 636 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: make you almost they make you irrelevant, and then they 637 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: find somebody to primary you, and then they fund it 638 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: in a way that you can't match them up dollar 639 00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: per dollar. And it's very simple. They just cut off 640 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: your lifeline. And the people really can't possibly do They said, 641 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,680 Speaker 1: you know what, not only can they do it, she 642 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: does do it. She does it regularly. She does it 643 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: in a way that other people don't see it coming 644 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,240 Speaker 1: other than that member that's fallen out of out of favor. 645 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,919 Speaker 1: And then it happens very quickly. Although I can't this 646 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: group that came in, this freshman group that came in, 647 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 1: I've never seen a group that's pushed back with success 648 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: the way the way they have. But they have some 649 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 1: allies over in the Senate that helped them out. Quite 650 00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: have been too with Senator with Bernie Sanders pushing he's 651 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,399 Speaker 1: got a lot of money that they push her run Jess. 652 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 1: It's always the same thing right, follow the money. You 653 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: follow the money, You're going to find out where the 654 00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 1: problem is. It's just that's just life. I just know 655 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: in my life if I think something's not right and say, 656 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 1: I can't understand why this would go this way, I 657 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: know this person really well, why would they why would 658 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,880 Speaker 1: they make this kind of a decision? Said, just follow 659 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: the money. It's that's simple, because you can cut them off. 660 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 1: You can, you can you can keep them from being 661 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: able to function well. A congressman. I can't believe I'm 662 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,760 Speaker 1: saying this, but I actually think I'd rather have Nancy 663 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: Pelosi running her party than those four nutball congressmen. You 664 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 1: keep bringing up that radical freshman group. But however, I mean, look, 665 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,359 Speaker 1: time is what it is. She's really old, and they're 666 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,600 Speaker 1: really not. Are they the future? I sure as heck 667 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: hope not. But at least in the districts they represent 668 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: their the future. And I would like to think that 669 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 1: somehow there's a there's a coalition among people who are 670 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: good to say this is bad, this is bad policy. 671 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: They're they're gaining enough influence that they can pressure legislation 672 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 1: to the forefront that you and I would say, oh 673 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 1: my god, this is not anything we've ever seen before. Surely, 674 00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: surely the American people won't sit back and allow this 675 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: to happen. And then you see it happen and said, 676 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: why is it happening? And I tell people all the time, look, 677 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 1: if you're not if you're not paying attention and every 678 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: election that you have, and especially in school boards and 679 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,640 Speaker 1: for public schools, if you're not watching who it is 680 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: that's going in and driving policy, whether it be curriculum 681 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: or text books, and all the way up to the 682 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 1: top now of the federal government going through the state 683 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: and then the federal government. If you're not watching that, 684 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: just keep in mind. These people just don't go in 685 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: and sit down. They are elected, and sometimes they're elected 686 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: by very skinny margins or very few people participate in 687 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: the election, which I think is even a greater offense 688 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 1: as a private as a citizen, Why would you turn 689 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: your back on a million and a half people in uniform. 690 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: They gave their lives to give you the right to vote. 691 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: And then you say I don't care about voting. My 692 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,600 Speaker 1: vote doesn't count. I said, that's probably the truest statement 693 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 1: you can make. If you don't vote, your vote doesn't count. 694 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 1: But you've turned your back on people that gave their 695 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: lives to give you the right to do that. And 696 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,279 Speaker 1: I think I just think right now the country needs 697 00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: to wake them up and understanding what we loose because 698 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 1: we don't participate with the level that we should and 699 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: with the passion that we should. Congressman, school Board, I'm 700 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: so glad you brought this up. I feel like so 701 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: many people don't They don't know how to get involved, 702 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,120 Speaker 1: they don't feel like they should get involved, or they 703 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: just don't know where to go. Would you recommend people 704 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: run for school board? Everybody can't be a congressman. Maybe 705 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: that is the most important job locally. Would you recommend 706 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 1: people run, people go to meetings more? It is singularly 707 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,080 Speaker 1: the greatest, the greatest position that you can have as 708 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 1: a as a private citizen. Yes, I would ask anybody 709 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 1: who's out there who's concerned about the future of our country. 710 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,600 Speaker 1: From the fifties on, Jess, we all of a sudden 711 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: turned over to an altogether different group of people. After 712 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: these heroes came back from World War Two, after they 713 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 1: were able to bring peace to the entire world, not 714 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,320 Speaker 1: just United States. All of a sudden, we took for 715 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: granted that things are gonna be okay. I've sat on 716 00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: the school board for four years and I would just 717 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,279 Speaker 1: tell you us the main reason you're getting on the 718 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,720 Speaker 1: school boards because you don't like the current football coach 719 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: or basketball coach. Don't go on the school board. If 720 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: you're going on to school board because you don't like 721 00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: where your kid has to walk to pick up the 722 00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,040 Speaker 1: bus and the neighbor they pick them up at the 723 00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: end of their side. But don't go on school board. 724 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,919 Speaker 1: But if you're really concerned about textbooks, who writes them, 725 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: what's the content of it, and what it is we're 726 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 1: trying to feed our children for eight hours a day, 727 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,919 Speaker 1: if you're really concerned about curriculum and are we still 728 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: doing the things we used to do. This project seventeen 729 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: seventy six by the President, if people don't understand what 730 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: he's talking about sixteen nineteen is who we're going to 731 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,279 Speaker 1: define Americas because that's the first time slaves came to 732 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,759 Speaker 1: the United States. Said this, and I don't want to 733 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this stuff. What I want 734 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,760 Speaker 1: to do is celebrate who we are as a country, 735 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,799 Speaker 1: the eightest nation the world has ever known, and we're 736 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,839 Speaker 1: trying to push it down to stay. It was never 737 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: that great. These people did horrible things. They aren't the 738 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: people that I want to I don't want to live 739 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:59,480 Speaker 1: my life that way. School Boards, school boards singularly, school 740 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 1: boards to make the biggest difference in your community. As 741 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: long as you're electing the right people. Don't let that 742 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: seat open for somebody just to wander in and have 743 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: an effect. You know what, I always thought that in 744 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 1: my time, the mayor is an important person, but the 745 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,640 Speaker 1: superintendent of schools is by far the most influential person. 746 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: Congressman Mike Kelly listened to when people do as he says, 747 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 1: thank you, sir, appreciate you, Thanks Jess, thank you, the 748 00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: Squaton win. We'll be back. I don't know anything about art. 749 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna find that shocking. As as much 750 00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 1: of a cultural renaissance man as I am. I can't draw, 751 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: seeing dance, anything artistic. I can't do it, and nobody, 752 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 1: nobody in my family can do it. We are a 753 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,360 Speaker 1: family completely devoid of any artistic talent whatsoever. And to 754 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: be honest, I don't have much use for art. I 755 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,600 Speaker 1: see these art museums and such, and I look at paintings, 756 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 1: and I think it's nice. It's fine. I mean, doesn't 757 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 1: even know where I get some nachos. It's fine. However, 758 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: some of these street artists, I don't know if it's 759 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 1: fair to call this guy that because I don't know 760 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: anything about him.
