Another working week is over 12 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 3: to stand over. 13 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:20,320 Speaker 1: To be clear, we consider our show something more than 14 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: just commentary on news of the day. Maybe we're full 15 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: of ourselves, but I happen to you think we're full 16 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: of ourselves. I have always believed that whatever you do 17 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: is your ministry in this world. Whatever you do, be 18 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: the best at it and use your place in the 19 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: world to make a difference. Maybe that's my Christian evangelical background, 20 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,559 Speaker 1: but you know, when you see a school shooting, there'll 21 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 1: be a guy who's a hero, or not just school shooting, 22 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: a mass shooting. There'll be a guy who's a hero, 23 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: who's the janitor or who's the security guard, or who's 24 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: the patrolman who just started that week. I think there 25 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: is this idea that the only people who change the 26 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 1: world and effect what's going on is Donald Trump. But 27 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: that's just not true. Each of us in our way. 28 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: It's an ocean of little droplets of decisions we make 29 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 1: and actions we take, raising our children day in day out, 30 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: the consistency of it, running our business. Yes, involvement in 31 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: the political process, it's important. I don't mean to suggest 32 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: it's not. But there are so many things we have 33 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: to do to fix this country that we have to 34 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: get about the business of doing. And we have to 35 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: be mindful that everything we're doing, every action we take, 36 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: someone's watching, and we have an opportunity to change a life, 37 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: to bring about good, whether that's being the good Samaritan, 38 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: whether that's teaching values to our kids. I am a 39 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: big believer that at your workplace there are younger people 40 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: watching what you're doing that you could be a mentor for. 41 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: I learned to be a good husband by watching as 42 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: good a husbands I can be watching my dad be 43 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: a good husband to my mother. But I also had 44 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: mentors early in life, and I would say, hey, you 45 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: know what do I do when my buddies invite me 46 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: to go to the game. But I'm feeling like my 47 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 1: wife wants to spend time with me because we both 48 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: both had a long week, and she'd rather go to 49 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: dinner with me. 50 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: What do I do? 51 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: How do you balance that? Because I do want to 52 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: go hang out with my buddies, I do want to 53 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: have poker night. I do want to go on the 54 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: hunting trip or a fishing trip. I do want to 55 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: go to the sporting event. And then I had that 56 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: same question, you know when I had kids, how you 57 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: work through that? And I had mentors who were older 58 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: than me. I was bold enough to ask them for advice, 59 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: but most young people won't be. And I will tell 60 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: you this. For those of you who are new to 61 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: the show, will you will come to learn this. I 62 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: am very open and honest about talking about the business 63 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: of what we do, in the business of what you do. 64 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: Every vote that is cast makes a difference to the country. 65 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: We needed people to get out and vote for Donald 66 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: Trump for him to win so that he could do 67 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: all these great things we're excited about. And if every 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: single person didn't vote, he wouldn't win. Well, every dollar 69 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: you spend is a vote you cast. What kind of 70 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: companies do you want? Do you want local companies or 71 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 1: do you just want multinational companies? Do you want locally 72 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: owned and operated companies? Do you want companies that treat 73 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: you right? Do you want companies that treat you like 74 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: a number? Do you want scam companies? Do you want 75 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 1: the customer service to be located in India or Romania 76 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: or somewhere in Africa or do you want it to 77 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: be local? Do you want them to pick up the 78 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: phone when you call or you're sent to a call 79 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: center or sent to a website. Support the businesses that 80 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: represent the values that you represent. And I give you 81 00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: another example. You know, when we when we started our 82 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: show nineteen years ago, I made very clear that I 83 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: didn't just want to entertain on the radio. I wanted 84 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 1: to help businesses thrive. And so I have a whole 85 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: set of language that I use for our show. I 86 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: don't have advertisers. I have show sponsors. If you hear 87 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: me talk about a company that's a sponsor, now everything 88 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: else is advertising. When they do an ad that says 89 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,479 Speaker 1: do this or do that, and that's fine, they are 90 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: supporting the station and they do want your business. But 91 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: when you hear me in my voice talking about a business, 92 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: that is somebody, that is somebody that I know that 93 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: I can stand behind, that I can tell you to 94 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: support that. If you email me through the website Michael 95 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: Berryshow dot com, I can literally direct you to the 96 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: owners of the company and you get the brother in 97 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: law deal. You're going to get the quick phone call 98 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: you're going to get. They're gonna make sure above and 99 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: beyond that your customer service is better than it could 100 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: possibly be. They're on inspection. They want to look good 101 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: for you and me. So if you hear me talk 102 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: about a business, send an email to me through my 103 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: website Michael Berryshow dot com, and I will forward that 104 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: to the owner of the business. And I got to 105 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: tell you something, My show sponsors are going to take 106 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: care of every single listener that reaches out to them 107 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: to do business with them. But when I personally send 108 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: you to them, it's a whole different experience. Right as 109 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: you would expect. If I send you to my local 110 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: mechanic or I send you to my personal trainer, they're 111 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: going to treat you just a little better because they 112 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: know you're going to report back that's how the business works. 113 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: And if you want our listeners, the kind of people 114 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: who share my values and yours, people just like you 115 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: because you own a business and you want our listeners, 116 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: because that's the best customers out there. Send me an email. 117 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: I spend a good part of my evening every night 118 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: when I get home. It's fun for me getting to 119 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: direct people to here's how you sponsor the show. Here's 120 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: how how you get access to our listeners because I 121 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: can tell I'll use a restaurant for example. The restaurants 122 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: that sponsor our show will tell you when your listeners 123 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: walk in the door, they are there to have a 124 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: good time. They are not the people who eat half 125 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: the plate and then say there was a hair in it. 126 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: This is awful, send it back, I want another one. 127 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: They are not the people who harass the servers and 128 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: complain and write bad reviews. They show up with the 129 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: intention of having a good time, and then they're going 130 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: to tell other people like them. See, there's a nation 131 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: within a nation. There's good people out there. That's you. 132 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 4: Right. 133 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: Businesses want your business, and the fact that you support 134 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: our show sponsors is the biggest way you can support 135 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: our show even more we would hope you would listen. 136 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: We would hope you would post about what we do 137 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and tell people, Hey, I listen to this podcast, or 138 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: I listen to this show, and here's how you can listen. 139 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: Here's something he was talking about. But when you support 140 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: our sponsors, you keep us on the air. And by 141 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: the way, that goes for everything else you do in life. 142 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: If you got a favorite little place around the corner, 143 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: retail or whatever else, and you really like that person, 144 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: that business, that family that runs that, if you want 145 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: to help them, spend your money there and tell everybody 146 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: you know, because that's how you vote for them, that's 147 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: how they succeed.

It is a failure of 154 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: government at every level. It is the the manifestation of 155 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: all the Democrat liberal progressive policies and personnel. It's laid 156 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: out for full display.

I've 174 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 2: been through Western the Western US, we go all over. 175 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: So yes, and so when, so what exactly does the 176 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: tender do? Explain this process to me? 177 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 5: How what you do? 178 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: Worse? 179 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 2: Okay, I have a tanker truck carries three thousand gallons 180 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 2: and we go to a scene and we find a fire, hydrant, 181 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,599 Speaker 2: we fill a fire tank, and they assign us to 182 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: like a strikeforce, which is several engines, and we go 183 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 2: to wherever those engines are going and we fill them 184 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 2: up and then they empty their because they only have 185 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 2: like five hundred gallons seven hundred gallons in their engines, 186 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: so they go through that with their hoses pretty darn quick. 187 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 2: So we go supply them and then when they're filled 188 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 2: and we go do several more and then when we're empty, 189 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 2: we go down the hill or to wherever the nearest 190 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: fire hydrant is and we fill back up and go. 191 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: So basically, the fire engines stay on the scene working 192 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: and putting out the fires, and we're the ones suttling 193 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 2: water back and forth so they never run out. 194 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 1: And where are you getting this water from? Just any 195 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: of the fire hydrants that's available, Oh okay, so you 196 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: pull it from the fire hydrants, correct. 197 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 2: And sometimes we have to go drafting, you know, depending 198 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: on where the location is. You know, drafting is when 199 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 2: you go to a lake or reservoir or something and 200 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: you pump out I pump out the water myself, but 201 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: most of the time we do resid fire hydrants. 202 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: And where these fire hydrants in LA. Are you having 203 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: to go outside because those are overworked? 204 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: No, these are in LA, but yes they were overworked. 205 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: And the farther up the hill you went, the less 206 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 2: the pressure got. 207 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: So how many gallons on your truck? Three thousand and 208 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: how long does it take? What's the rate you can 209 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: pull that water out and fill that truck up? 210 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 5: Now? 211 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 2: Of course that's the big variable. It can take. Me 212 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: at this fire, the worst time, it took me a 213 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: good twenty or twenty five minutes. When I have good pressure, 214 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: it's a good ten minutes. And it depends, of course, 215 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 2: on what hydrits you're pulling from. 216 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: And finished that sentence because. 217 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: Oh it's too many straws are pulling from the water 218 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 2: from the hydros. Oh, because why there's less pressure. Yes, 219 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: this is the first time I run into the situation 220 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,199 Speaker 2: where there has not been sufficient pressure. 221 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: So I want you to be king. I want you 222 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: to be king for a moment, Jerry. And you don't 223 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: have political considerations. You can just do what's best to 224 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: maximize the benefit for the most number of people, even 225 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: if you make some people very angry. What is within 226 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: the realm of possibility that in your mind could be 227 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: done to have minimized the problems at the start or 228 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: now to do the most good. 229 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: It's such an easy fix, it's mind boggling. All you 230 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: have to do is assign one water tender to every 231 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 2: strike team, which is basically like three engines. And when 232 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: that strike team gets called out, the water tender goes 233 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: with them, and those guys can stay working all the time. 234 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 2: And if there's less don't have enough water, then the 235 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: tender runs down, finds the water and brings it back 236 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: up to them. So all they have to do is 237 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 2: work NonStop. 238 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: And who do you work? 239 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: Very simple thing. Who? Actually I don't want to see. 240 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 2: I don't want to take the name of the company. 241 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 5: Are you. 242 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Are you with a governmental entity or a private provider? 243 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: No, I'm a private We're a private company. We do 244 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: have contracts with cal Fire and the US Forest Service 245 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: and we get called say come on down. So case 246 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: in point, for this specific fire, my general manager called 247 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 2: me up Tuesday morning and said, this looks like it's 248 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: going to be a big fire.

But they were putting out 268 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: the embers as much as they could, and you know, 269 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: it was basically what it was.

It's an 353 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: economic issue. California placed price controls on insurance. They said, 354 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: you can't charge more than this, and the insurance company said, well, 355 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: then we can't make money because we have to pay 356 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: out so many I know everybody hates insurance company, but 357 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: this is just like rent control. If you say you 358 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: can't raise your rents, then people won't build and they'll 359 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: sell out and move on. And that's what's happened here. 360 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: Insurance companies have pulled out of the state. They've canceled 361 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: fire insurance for a lot of people, and now those 362 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: people don't have fire insurance. So did you really help 363 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: them out? Did you know the government offers flood insurance 364 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: to Hollywood stars or their beach house that the government 365 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: reinsures or subsidizes. This is Rand Paul centeror Ran Paul 366 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: blowing the whistle yet again, talking about this before all 367 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: this started a few weeks ago. 368 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 10: Listen carefully, Oh, Nicholas Cage boy, that's and ice house 369 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 10: four point two million in New Orleans also eligible for 370 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 10: government insurance. Look, I love Nicholas Cage. I'd go to 371 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 10: parties at his house too. 372 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: I love his movies. 373 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 10: I'd pay twenty bucks to go to the movie. Actually, 374 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 10: I don't want to pay twenty bucks paid. 375 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 1: To go to see his movies. 376 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 10: But I don't think we should buy insurance for his home. 377 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 10: If he can get a four point two million dollar home, 378 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 10: I'll bet you could buy his own insurance. Let's see 379 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 10: who else is eligible for government insurance? Oh, Matt Damon, 380 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 10: he's had a lot of good movies. Man, he must 381 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 10: be doing great. His place costs twenty million dollars and 382 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 10: it's eligible for government insurance too. You think Matt Damon 383 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 10: would be embarrassed to find out that the government's subsidizing 384 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 10: his first two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. 385 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 2: Shouldn't we all be embarrassed? 386 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 10: Programmed sixteen billion dollars in the hole, and we want 387 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 10: to renew a program without any reforms. Just keep doing it, 388 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 10: it keeps losing money. Just keep doing the same thing. 389 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 10: Maybe Matt Damon could buy his own insurance. Who else 390 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 10: has a house sud be eligible for insurance? 391 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 6: Oh? 392 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: Fill In Collins. He made some good music. It must 393 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: have made some great music. 394 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 10: His home's worth forty million dollars in Biscayne Bay, Florida 395 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 10: also eligible for government insurance. So, you know, I just 396 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 10: I can't imagine how we couldn't come to a compromise. 397 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 10: So if ordinary people have second homes that are five 398 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 10: hundred thousand dollars beach homes, if we just went. 399 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: Up to two million, then we're only going to. 400 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 10: Be clipping Phil Collins and Nicholas Cage and a few 401 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 10: others we have anybody else, Let's see who else we have? 402 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: Oh now, share she's been doing well for a long time. 403 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 10: She has a forty two million dollar place in Miami Beach, 404 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 10: also eligible. 405 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: For government insurance. You know, we could go on and on. 406 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 10: But the thing is, this doesn't mean we don't like 407 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 10: rich people or appreciate their success. 408 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: I'm all for it. 409 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm just not forgiving them free stuff. Why would we 410 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: give them subsidized insurance? 411 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 10: So what I will offer now is a second amendment, 412 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 10: and this one might be easier to accept. And realize 413 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 10: that this could be accepted right now. 414 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: This entire program could be. 415 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 10: Reauthorized with these amendments tonight. If the Senator from Louisiana 416 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 10: except this amendments, ask. 417 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: Me or take me to Texas so talking about it, 418 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 2: he gets out of this state. I think Michael Berry 419 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 2: robs Michael Barry show. 420 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: I like it. 421 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: Paul talk about this waste and listen to how aggressively 422 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: Vivek and Elon have talked about this massive waste in 423 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: our government. It gets me excited about the potential cuts, 424 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:32,120 Speaker 1: the potential efficiency measures. It's cutting government waste is good 425 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: for me and fills me with a sort of religious zeal. 426 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: I hate waste. It is toxic. 427 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 5: It is bad. 428 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: It is worse than just money that's not being put 429 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: to good use. It creates an entire culture, sort of 430 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: like trash or graffiti. It's not a new concept to 431 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: cut waste. 432 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 5: It's not. 433 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 1: Listen to Milton Friedman, who, by the way, have you 434 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: got some time this weekend, go to YouTube or Rumble 435 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: or wherever you go and look up Milton Friedman on inflation, 436 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: on any number of them on pricing, and you you 437 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: don't have to go to college. You don't have to 438 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: you don't have to do all those. You can learn 439 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: from the master Milton Friedman, and his videos are all over. 440 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: He's long long gone influencing public policy. But it's dry, 441 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: it is, but you will find that you will learn 442 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: more there than most anywhere else. This is Milton Friedman 443 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: talking about which government agencies he would cut. 444 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 6: I want to just go right down the list quickly 445 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 6: and have you give me a thumbs up or thumbs down. 446 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 5: Keep them or abolish them. 447 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 6: Department of Agriculture abolished, gone, Department of Commerce abolish gone. 448 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 6: Department of Defense keep keep it, Department of Education abolish 449 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 6: gone Energy, abolish How accept as energy ties in with 450 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 6: the military, Well. 451 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 5: And we shove it under defense. 452 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 6: A little bit that handles the nuclear right, that at 453 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 6: plutonium and so forth, goes under defense, but we abolish 454 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 6: the rest of it.

What are its fundamental functions? Preserve 519 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 4: of the peace, defend the country right, provide a mechanism 520 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 4: whereby individuals can adjudicate their disputes and suggests justice department. 521 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 4: Department protect individuals from being coerced by other individuals.

The police function 524 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 4: is primarily local and central right, and those are the 525 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 4: fundamental functions of government. 526 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 5: In my opinion. 527 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: We could play Milton Friedman all day long, but we 528 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: only have so much time. So that's why so often 529 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 1: our Saturday podcast is a Milton Friedman commentary on some 530 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,239 Speaker 1: important issue. So this is Milton Friedman, sorry, since we're 531 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: on the subject, making the argument that the equal pay 532 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: for equal work laws actually hurt women. 533 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 4: Equal pay for equal work laws are a source of apartheide. 534 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: You know, the basic source of. 535 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 4: Apartheid in South Africa was the insistence by trade unions 536 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 4: on equal. 537 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: Pay for equal work. 538 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 4: The equal to women who go around today urging equal 539 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 4: pay for equal work or being anti feminist, they don't 540 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 4: intend to be, but that is the effect of their policy, 541 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 4: because if there is any activity in which, for any reason, 542 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 4: a male is preferable to a female, or vice versa, 543 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 4: the only weapon the less productive sex has is to 544 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 4: offer to work for less. And if you deny them 545 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 4: that opportunity, you're assuring yourself that you're gonna have all 546 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 4: male jobs, or all female jobs, or all white jobs, 547 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 4: are all black jobs. 548 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 6: But aren't you also condemning them to stay that way? 549 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 4: Not at all, not at all the typical course, if 550 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 4: you go back to American history, by taking these low 551 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 4: paid jobs, a great many people, not all, but a 552 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 4: great many people were able to develop skills and activities, 553 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 4: accumulate a little skill, a little capital, a little knowledge, 554 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 4: improve their lot, become advance in the stage, get to 555 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 4: a higher level of productivity, and get a higher income. 556 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 4: That's been the typical way up the ladder for most 557 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: of the people who came in. Here was a way 558 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 4: up the ladder for my parents, for your parents, or 559 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 4: grandparents or great grandparents, I don't know which. And that's 560 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 4: the way in which, unfortunately there's no way in which 561 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 4: you can immediately propel people to the top of the ladder. 562 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 9: Okay, thank you very much, Thank you, mister Friedman, referring 563 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 9: to the statements that you made about women who advocate 564 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 9: equal pay for equal work. 565 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 1: See I thaid I'd get a rise out of that. 566 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: Er delighted to have it? 567 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 9: Yes, okay, I just would like to know if you're insinuating, 568 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 9: or perhaps you know, point blankly saying that women and 569 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 9: other minorities these skills are in fear to those of 570 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 9: those now holding those jobs, and that they need to 571 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 9: go through a period where their skills need to be 572 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 9: improved and therefore deserved to be paid less. 573 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 5: No, I don't think dessert has anything to do with it. 574 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 5: I'm not. 575 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 4: First of all, I think dessert is an impossible thing 576 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 4: to decide who deserves one. Nobody deserves anything, Thank god, 577 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:22,960 Speaker 4: we don't get what we deserve. 578 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: But I'm not saying that at all. 579 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 4: I'm saying a very different thing. I'm saying that the 580 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 4: actual effect of requiring equal pay for equal. 581 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: Work will be to harm women. 582 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 4: If women's skills are higher than men's in a particular job, 583 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 4: and are recognized to be higher, the law does no good, 584 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 4: because then they will be able to compete away and 585 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 4: can get the same income if. 586 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 5: Their skills are less for whatever reason. 587 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 4: Maybe it isn't because they're saying it's their sex. Maybe 588 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 4: it's because they were out of the labor force, Maybe 589 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 4: it's for other reasons.
