1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Is law enforcement sent into areas where hot crime is

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 1: high just a political stunt. Well, there's actually a governor

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: that really thinks that, which is crazy. Holy cow. There's

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: an official US police department that is now putting Arabic

5
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: on their badges. That's an insane story that we'll definitely

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: have to talk about. And the whole no tax on

7
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: tips thing is really really interesting because there's some occupations

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: that oh, maybe I will identify maybe my entire salaries

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: as tip. I maybe trying to figure out how to

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: exploit that myself. I mean, sorry, irs, I'm gonna definitely

11
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: play by the rules here. But the whole tax on

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: tip thing is very interesting. All that more coming up

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: on this episode of thirty Points Tonight. My day is

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Joe Bob. Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, we

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: are charting the course of America's culturalill comeback. This is

16
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: turning point tonight.

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: Now.

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Remember you can email the show anytime you want. TPT

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: at tpusa dot com. We love seeing all of your emails,

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: sending some hilarious memes and videos that we can get

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: to play on the segment four of this show. We

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: love to see a TPT at TPUSA dot com Now

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: before we get to any of those stories and to

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: our fantastic panel, got a really interesting panel today. Want

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: to talk about the PBS News. Now, we're all aware

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: that PBS, NPR and the other public public the super

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: hyper aggressive left leaning taxpayer funded media outlets, are losing

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: their money. Well, now we're finding out what they're actually

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: going to do. And some of the numbers have caused

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: me and hopefully you to question how much money were

31
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: these people making. So the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was

32
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: the kind of umbrella term that they kind of divvied

33
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: out all the money. Well, they were getting five hundred million,

34
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: half a billion dollars from US taxpayers to go divvy

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: out to organizations that would at intentionally promote incredibly leftis

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: propaganda that is going away. PBS specifically was getting about

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty seven million dollars that they would

38
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: redisperse to local stations in the form of grants. Then

39
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: those grants were used to rebuy the PBS programming. It

40
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: was this whole kind of convoluted thing. We're super excited

41
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: that President Trump got rid of it. Now the question is,

42
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: why then are they only cutting fifteen percent of their staff.

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: That's the number that PBS has put out. The New

44
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: York Times reported it fifteen percent, meaning about one hundred

45
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: people are now gone from PBS. Okay, well, that makes

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: me wonder if they were getting two hundred million dollars

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: and one hundred people is fifteen percent of their employed staff.

48
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: That means about six hundred and fifty people work there.

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: What the heck do six hundred and fifty people at

50
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: jobs need two hundred and fifty million dollars over the

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: course of every single year. So then I got curious. Okay, well,

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: what do they actually make there? According to the most

53
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: recent data in twenty twenty three, the CEO of the

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: Public Service Broadcast Company was making one point two million

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: dollars a year. The average salary over there is about

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. All of that is

57
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: to say this, if you needed any more reassurance that

58
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: stripping federal tax dollars from these organizations was a good idea,

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: there you have it. Everybody over there was making an

60
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: insane amount of money. And for what So that Sesame

61
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: Street could call your kid a transgender toddler, I don't

62
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: think so. Here comments on that and so much more.

63
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: His host of The Hannah Fawkner Show, Hannah Faukner and

64
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: filling in is our wonderful producer Glenn Hendrickson, making his reappearance,

65
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: not his debut. He's done this before on The Brining

66
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: Point tonight's show. Guys, thanks so much for joining. Really

67
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: appreciate you taking the time.

68
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. Thanks so much, Joe, Bob, Hannah.

69
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, I this is this might be a little

70
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: bit of a spicy take, but so often right, especially

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: when you're talking, and I don't want to get two

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: into the weeds here about the pension obligation that places have.

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: The estates have they talk about, well, you know, we

74
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: have to entice people to work here because they can

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: go make more money in the private sector. Well, yeah,

76
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: at the top high levels that is often true. But

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: for most regular jobs, what government job is paying out

78
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: like breadcrumbs. Generally speaking, all of the people that I

79
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: know that work government jobs are paid pretty dang well

80
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: apparently including PBS. Again, the average salary over there is

81
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty about one hundred and fifty

82
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I don't know. Again, I think we all

83
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: probably agree on this. How much has this emboldened your

84
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: supportive like, yeah, we got to audit these places and

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: strip them of taxpayer funding because it's it's going to waste.

86
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, it's it's absolute insanity.

87
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: And you brought up a good point of not only

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 5: are our hardware taxpayer dollars going to these news doubtlets

89
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 5: who have a very strategic goal of indoctrinating and just

90
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: pushing very specific narratives to the American people, like Sesame

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 5: Street telling your kid that if they feel like a boy,

92
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 5: that can become a boy, and vice versa, and whatever

93
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 5: lunatic idea that.

94
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: They're pushing that day.

95
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: Not only are hard working dollars going to that, but

96
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 5: it is absolute insanity that it was that high one

97
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 5: point two million, you said of a salary for someone

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 5: who is working at a broadcasting station. I don't know

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 5: a single person in the private sphere that's making one

100
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 5: to one point two million dollars working for a media company.

101
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 4: So it's outrageous.

102
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 5: But I'm so grateful for President Trump, who is eliminating

103
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 5: all of this waste, fraud of views. And I think

104
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 5: the people who may be against what we're saying right

105
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: now are the ones who just want these very specific

106
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: narratives to be pushed out to the American people, like

107
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,119
Speaker 5: your kid, if he feels like a boy can become

108
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 5: a girl.

109
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, to your point, I was a little hesitant to

110
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: bring this on because now Glenn knows what he could

111
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: be making if he worked over at PBS. Neither one

112
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: of us were doing very well compared to those folks, Glenn,

113
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: do are we at risk of losing you to the

114
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: public broadcasting company, which, again, thank god, is no longer

115
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: going to be getting American tax payer dollars?

116
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: Sorry, I was just preparing my resume there. What did

117
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 3: you say. No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

118
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 6: No, I don't think you're at risk of losing me.

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 6: But I think that PBS long ago lost the American people.

120
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 6: It no longer serves or represents the public, which is

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 6: in the name it's supposed to be in the mission.

122
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 6: And you know, I'm not opposed to liberals sharing their viewpoints.

123
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 6: I think it's best if it's balanced, and clearly there's

124
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 6: no balance at PBS. If there ever was, it was

125
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 6: ages ago, it hasn't been for a long time. Balanced.

126
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 6: If they had right and left both sharing their views,

127
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 6: both with an equal ability.

128
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: To present their viewpoints.

129
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 6: That would be great, but that's clearly not the case

130
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 6: that they've abused it. No public or I'm sorry, no

131
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 6: private company that does what they do could survive in

132
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 6: the market, and I think it's about time that they

133
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 6: have to fight for their own in the market.

134
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I kind of think that fifteen percent number of

135
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: layoffs that they're doing is kind of the edge of

136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: the iceberg. I think there's going to be a lot

137
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: more coming up after that, especially if people are making

138
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: absurd amounts of money, including your one point two million

139
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: dollar CEO, which, by the way, get it was like

140
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: two or three years ago that that information. That's probably

141
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: gone way up from there, and probably we'll go down

142
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: quite a bit further.

143
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 7: Uh.

144
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: You know, when you get into the numbers of these

145
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: sorts of things, that's where things get really like, wait

146
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: a minute, this is a pretty high proportion of this

147
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: which brings us to this raid in this Georgia Hyundai facility.

148
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: This is also kind of unfolding. There's a lot of

149
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: things going on right now about you know, who is it,

150
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: what is it? Four hundred and seventy five people as

151
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: of right now, have been detained at this man manufacturing

152
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: plant for Hyundai, the automotive manufacturer in the South Korea,

153
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: the South Korean auto manufacturer. I was looking into it.

154
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: The plant actually employs about twelve hundred people, So, Hannah,

155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: over a third of those people were here illegally, at

156
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: least allegedly as it stands right now. Okay, yeah, you

157
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: want to get the illegals out of the country, But

158
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: is the foreign corporation going to pay any sort of

159
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: a penalty for having again, possibly a third of their

160
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: workforce be here illegally. Yeah.

161
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of companies, especially in the blue

162
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 5: collar industry, construction companies, that employ a lot of illegal aliens,

163
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 5: people who have been here for decades, and I obviously

164
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 5: it brings up a lot of questions. That's a lot

165
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 5: of the debate is going on of people who have

166
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 5: been here for a decade, two decades, three decades, should

167
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 5: they be deported And at the end of the day,

168
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 5: like we have allowed so many people into this country

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,719
Speaker 5: illegally that we're going to have to deport all of them. Yes,

170
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 5: of these large manufacturing companies, blue collar jobs like construction industries,

171
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 5: they're going to suffer. But that's what's going to happen

172
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 5: in this golden age of America as we reclaim the

173
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: American dream and what it.

174
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: Means to be an American.

175
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 5: And I know we're going to get into this in

176
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 5: a second, but I think in our country we have

177
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 5: a really big problem with determining.

178
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 4: What an American citizen actually is.

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 5: And so just because you've been here for three four

180
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 5: decades illegally, that does not make you an American citizens.

181
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: So we're always going to have to start over from scratch,

182
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 5: which is really unfortunate. But this is what happens when

183
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: you let an insane amount of people to come across

184
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: our country illegally.

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: Well, if you ask a lib, I think an American

186
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: citizen is somebody who complains very very loudly that they

187
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: want to be here despite how much they dislike the country,

188
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: which is again so ironic that it's difficult to comprehend. Glenn,

189
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: you know, I've never asked you're in the country legally, right,

190
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: that's you are a US citizen. It's crazy to me

191
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: how many corporations, it's turned out, seem to depend on

192
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: illegal labor. And I kind of think, yeah, we got

193
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: to crack down on the individuals, but also the big

194
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: companies that are employing all these people and not giving

195
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: those jobs to American citizens or at least people that

196
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: are in the country legally that could have those jobs.

197
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 6: I agree completely. I am a millionth generation American. I

198
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 6: have ancestors that came over on the Mayflower, and I'm

199
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 6: quite proud of that. That is something very interesting that

200
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 6: my dad told me, at least, so I'm trusting him

201
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 6: on that.

202
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: He did that work. Anyways. Yeah, these companies that not only.

203
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 6: Employ, but rely on the employment of illegal immigrants to

204
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 6: conduct business, it's very sad and sick to me.

205
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 3: It's almost perverse that. You know, in the food.

206
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 6: Industry, that farms rely so heavily on paying people like

207
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 6: poverty wages like that, and I don't mean to use

208
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 6: a Bernie Sanders phrase, but they do.

209
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: They rely on on skipping out and saving a.

210
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: Buck at the on the backs of the workers in

211
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 6: the fields, uh to you know, pass those savings onto us,

212
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 6: and then the food is cheaper and more people buy it,

213
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 6: and that just cycle. It continues, it continues, it continues,

214
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 6: and they're doing this here with the production of their cars,

215
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 6: and we see this over and over again in different industries.

216
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: It's so sad. It's so sad. I can't imagine the

217
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: lives of those workers where they not only are here.

218
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 6: Illegally and maybe they even regret that they're here illegally,

219
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 6: especially now that you know laws are being enforced, but

220
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 6: they now fear coming forward to say I'm being mistreated

221
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 6: in the workplace, all my wages aren't high enough, all

222
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 6: they're breaking laws here and there. Now the employer can

223
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 6: get away with doing things that are bad to people

224
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 6: just in general, regardless of legal status. And to me,

225
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 6: that's just a very terrifying situation that to find yourself in.

226
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Darn you, Glenn, for suckering us into possibly even feeling

227
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: bad for the individual because it is you're You're right.

228
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: You actually bring up a very good point. Not enforcing

229
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: law not only hurts American citizens, but it hurts the

230
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: people that come to this country thinking oh this everything's

231
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna be hunky dory. Okay, Well, now you've just upended

232
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: their lives as well. So just just cut it off.

233
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: Stop people at the border. If you can come in,

234
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: you can come in. If you can't, you can't, and

235
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: everybody else you knows good luck elsewhere. We're not gonna

236
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: waste you know, however, many years of your life you

237
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: think and you're gonna live here and then send you back.

238
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: It's unfair to really everybody involved. So that's that is

239
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: a good point and an interesting one to make. We

240
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: got to take a break, but I do want to

241
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: get to this tax on tip things relatively quick. We'll

242
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: do that after the break. Glenn and Hanna will be

243
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: back to discuss that. Talking about the the Arabic badges

244
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: on a United States Police Department's uniforms. Oh wow, don't

245
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: go away, We'll be right back after the break.

246
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 8: America Fest is the starting point for us to take

247
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 8: a Mama to Greater Heights in twenty twenty five. We

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 8: have a team that is ready to change the world

249
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,199

263
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 1: In the last segment of the show, let's check in

264
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: with Turning Points. White House correspondent Monica Page at the

265
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: White House, which I'm told hasn't been renamed yet but

266
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: still possibly in the works. Because renaming, and I think

267
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: this is all positive, is a big point of priority

268
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: for the administration. I think everybody's probably aware of it.

269
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: But you're inside at the White House right now. Renaming

270
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: the Department of Defense the Department.

271
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 11: Of War it sounds pretty bad.

272
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 7: I mean, this is something that I believe has been

273
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 7: a long time coming. I mean the President's kind of

274
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 7: tease this previously in the previous weeks, but this is

275
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 7: something that we'll re establish. The Warrior ethos that Defense Secretary,

276
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 7: or now seem to be called War Secretary Pete Hegseth

277
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 7: has really been trying to re establish, whether that's getting

278
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 7: people more excited about their military, more excited about survey

279
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 7: their country, more excited about physical fitness and serving, and

280
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 7: not worrying about wokeness or being or whiteness, as we

281
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 7: saw General Millie saying that there's toxic whiteness, or having

282
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 7: Lloyd Austin leave his post for surgery. We didn't know

283
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 7: where the heck he went all that time, and there's

284
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 7: nothing like that in this administration. We are re establishing

285
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 7: American pride, whether that's just a sense of patriotism within

286
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 7: our country but also within our military. And that's why

287
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 7: this is so important, because the President takes a lot

288
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 7: of pride in our military and wants to not only

289
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 7: establish this warrior ethos bringing that back again, but also

290
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 7: a toughness to our military, making us strong again, making

291
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 7: our adversaries look at us and say, okay, we don't

292
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 7: want to get into anything with the United States, because

293
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 7: they are literally the Department of War. And they're also

294
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 7: looking at changing the name of the Crest Briefinger into

295
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 7: like the War annex, which I think is also incredible.

296
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 7: All of this starts with rhetoric, Joe, Bob, and this

297
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 7: is a great step forward to re establishing our patriotism

298
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 7: and strength.

299
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. The only thing that I would quibble with if

300
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: the President happens to be watching. First of all, thank

301
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: you for watching, mister President. Always appreciate you tuning in.

302
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: I would say, let's also change the secretary, because the

303
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Secretary of War sounds great. Maybe I don't know the

304
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: Master of War as Pete Hexath's official title would also

305
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: I think I like that better than secretary because secretary

306
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: just has, you know, its own different connotation. So, Monica,

307
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: what's what's the president up to this weekend? Going to

308
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: be headed to New York? What's he going to be doing?

309
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, so, as of tonight, he's going to be hosting

310
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 7: a dinner in a Rose Guard and he's got that

311
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 7: all set up in that new patio to good use,

312
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 7: that's for sure. But in the middle of next week

313
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 7: we're definitely going to see the President traveling to New York.

314
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 7: As we know, next week they will be commemorating the

315
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 7: twenty fourth anniversary of nine to eleven. This is something

316
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 7: that the President, of course, takes very seriously and keeping

317
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 7: our nation safe and honoring those who lost their lives,

318
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 7: and honoring those first responders who did everything that they

319
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 7: could to rescue those who were killed in that tragic incident.

320
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 7: And the President is going to be commemorating this incident

321
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 7: with a Yankees game in who'd be going to the

322
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 7: Yankees s game, I believe in New York City and

323
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 7: that's what he'll be for the week and meeting with

324
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 7: I'm sure first responders, firefighters, policeman and then he'll also

325
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 7: be spending an extended time there, going to the US

326
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 7: Open later that Sunday, So that's a week from now

327
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,239
Speaker 7: just about. So he's got a lot going on. And

328
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 7: later this month he's going to the UK, so he's

329
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 7: got a very busy travel schedule ahead of the September.

330
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we'll I'll look forward to any and everything

331
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: that comes out of out of that, as per usual,

332
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: Monica page turning points, White House Correspondent, have a great weekend, Monica.

333
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: Thanks Jo Bob, you too, thank you. You know, earlier

334
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: in the show, we had a brief discussion of what

335
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: it means to be an American, I think and I

336
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: don't want to miss quote here, but I'm pretty sure

337
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: it was Pope John Paul the second that said, well,

338
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: language is the culture. Once you start up ending the language,

339
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: you've effectively lost the culture. Unfortunately, that's happening all over Europe,

340
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: and we're trying to not let it happen here, but

341
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: it is happening. We probably need to stop that. Let's

342
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: bring our panel back, Hannah and Glenn. Hannah, I would

343
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: like to let you go off on this. The Dearborn

344
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: Police Department. Everybody recognizes Dearborn is a famously very very

345
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 1: Islamic and also arab which are two different things but

346
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: kind of one and the same in the same sense,

347
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: putting Arabic on their police badges. Now your thoughts on

348
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: this new approach from the Dearborn Police Department.

349
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh man, Well, for the longest time, a lot

350
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 5: of the left and most of the Democratic Party have

351
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 5: said that they're going to come here, They're going to

352
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 5: assimilate to our culture, it will be fine and dandy.

353
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 5: Much of these Islamic terrorists especially are not coming to

354
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 5: our country to assimilate. They're coming to take over the

355
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 5: United States of America. You look at what's happening in Europe.

356
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 5: It is a full blown Islamic takeover of the West

357
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 5: of Europe, of the United States of America. It is

358
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 5: no coincidence that the Huti's logo, the Huti's flag says

359
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: death to Israel, death to America, victory to Islam. So

360
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 5: I don't think it's any coincidence that We've got Zorn

361
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 5: Mamdani about to be the first Muslim mayor not to

362
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 5: mention a communist in New York City. We've got Fata,

363
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 5: this guy in Minneapolis about to become a mayor. He

364
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 5: is from Somalia. I mean, we've got people all across

365
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: the country that are being elected to positions of power

366
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 5: who do not hold ideas that are they are diametrically

367
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 5: opposed to what our founding fathers intended this nation to

368
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: be a nation founded on life, liberty, and the pursuit

369
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 5: of happiness, which is not found in shurial law. So

370
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 5: it's crazy to see all these things happening, But I

371
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 5: don't think that it's in any coincidence.

372
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 4: And until we as as the.

373
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 5: Conservative movement as Americans really define what it actually means

374
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 5: to be an American and who should be allowed to

375
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 5: be fit for office.

376
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 4: I don't think we're going to solve this.

377
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 5: And for the audience listening right now, being an American

378
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 5: is not just a piece of paper. Being an American

379
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: is what your hard is saying, what do you believe

380
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 5: in your heart?

381
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 4: And for me, I believe in American.

382
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: Would be someone who believes in what our founding fathers

383
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 5: intended this nation to be a nation founded on biblical principles,

384
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 5: a constitutional public where we the people are representing the public.

385
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 4: So it's wild to see what's happening.

386
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 5: And dearborn Michigan, but I asked, I don't think it's

387
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 5: any coincidence, you.

388
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: Know, Hannah, I appreciate your comment, but I do have

389
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: to correct you. I was watching MSNBC and they told

390
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: me that when they chit death to America, they're really

391
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: just protesting the patriarchal society and the homogenous I don't know,

392
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make a joke here, but yeah, there's

393
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: no real way to defend that sort of language. Glenn,

394
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: you know, what are your thoughts here? Because again, like I,

395
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 1: you know, my parents and my dad immigrated to the country.

396
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: All of everybody in his family learned how to speak English,

397
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: everybody assimilated to the culture. Everybody, no, nobody in the

398
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: family is on welfare. Why is that not kind of

399
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: a common norm for other people that immigrate to a

400
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: place that is awesome, but then use the customs that

401
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: they came from the made the place they came from

402
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: not awesome, and try to do that here.

403
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: I think it boils down to one word culture.

404
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 6: If you moved to America, you should not just move physically,

405
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 6: but you should move emotionally, spiritually, mentally, the way that

406
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 6: you live out the culture needs to change from where

407
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 6: you were to where you're going. And I think Dearborn

408
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 6: is an interesting example of just how incompatible Islam is

409
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 6: with American culture, with Western values, et cetera. I did

410
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: a little deep dive on this when I learned I was.

411
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: Going to be on today.

412
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: And Dearborn has been getting or receiving rather immigrants from

413
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 6: Muslim countries since the nineteen twenties when the whole boom

414
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 6: of building cars was happening, with like Henry Ford and

415
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 6: his plant there.

416
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: And you would think.

417
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 6: If these cultures meshed and melded, Dearborn would be just

418
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: the most shining example of how how well that could

419
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 6: go and how to acclimate to a new culture that's

420
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 6: so different from the one that you left. And it

421
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 6: simply shows you how that's failing. It's a terrible failure.

422
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 6: You think they would have just hundreds of families saying

423
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 6: here's how to learn English, here's how they do things

424
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 6: in America. But they're fighting tooth and nailed to preserve

425
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 6: everything there they left behind in their previous country.

426
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would wish anyone luck if they want to

427
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: go to a country in the Middle East and demand

428
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: that they put English on their law enforcement uniforms. I

429
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: can't imagine you'd get too far. Transitioning entirely to this

430
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: no tax on tips was a big talking point throughout

431
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: the campaign. It has been kind of now in case

432
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: in the whole big beautiful bill, sixty eight different professions

433
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: are going to be able to deduct their tax from

434
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: their income that is taxed at the federal level after

435
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars per year. Now, some versions on

436
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: the lister are kind of interesting. Hannah, plumbers, electricians, air

437
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: condition repairs. Who I am I supposed to tip those guys?

438
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever done that. I don't know

439
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: if I want to do that sort of thing. Okay,

440
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: not to take this silly, but is there a way

441
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: that I can identify as one of those specific job

442
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 1: titles and therefore get to deduct extra twenty five thousand

443
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: dollars because those are tips? In my world?

444
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 5: Hey, you know what we live in twenty twenty five.

445
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you can identify as a furry one day,

446
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 5: cat the next.

447
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 11: I don't even know what kids are.

448
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: You'll be just fine identifying as an electrician or plumber.

449
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 5: But I didn't know we were supposed to to tip

450
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 5: those either. That's very interesting to me. Tipping culture is

451
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: kind of out a hand. I do you say so myself?

452
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 5: But the no tax on tips promise that presidential made

453
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 5: to the American people is absolutely incredible. As we're they're

454
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 5: following through on this right now, putting it into legislation.

455
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 4: It's incredible.

456
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 5: I talked to especially waitresses, waiters at different restaurants that

457
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 5: they are just taxed to death by the IRS. It

458
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 5: is absolutely not what our founding fathers wanted to happen,

459
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 5: and so it's incredible to see.

460
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 4: I think it's common sense and most liberals can even

461
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 4: back by it.

462
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: They'll try to find something to criticize Trump on the

463
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 5: no tax on tips. But this is very principle should

464
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 5: be bipartisan, and it's exciting to see.

465
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know what, Joe Bob, I think you.

466
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 5: Should just go ahead and identify as electrician. People can

467
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 5: send you tips and not get taxed on those tips.

468
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: Yeah. My employer actually does it too. They separate my

469
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: check from the tips part of it to the actual

470
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: salary part, so and I appreciate them doing that. Hopefully

471
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: I can write that off on my federal income text. Glenn,

472
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: these are except to expire in twenty twenty eight. Do

473
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: you think that's a good Do you think that's a

474
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: smart political move, because if people like this sort of thing,

475
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: you're going to say, hey, you know, if you want

476
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: to keep it, you got to you know, continue electing

477
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: conservatives that will try to lessen your tax burn. Is

478
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: that a smart political move or do you want to

479
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: see this sort of thing last forever.

480
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 6: As much as I'd love to see a lot against

481
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 6: taxes or a law that reduces taxes last forever, I

482
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 6: think every law that involves anything to do with taxes

483
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 6: should automatically come with an expiration date, because clearly the

484
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 6: system is so convoluted and messed up that we need

485
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 6: laws like this that it isn't easy to survive on

486
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 6: just a basic simple plan of how you pay taxes

487
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 6: and how it has to differ so much based on

488
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 6: a thousand circumstances that all affect each other.

489
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: It's the most complex thing I can imagine.

490
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think that it's good that it's expiring,

491
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 6: and I think that if anyone has sense, whoever has

492
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 6: control in twenty twenty eight will extend it.

493
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. So with that in mind, just a reminder, you

494
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: folks at home, make sure to tip your snarky podcast

495
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: hosts and their producers and guests. We greatly appreciate it,

496
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: especially since we won't pay a dime of that in

497
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: federal income tax. Glenn and Hannah, thank you guys for

498
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 1: joining us. Really appreciate you taking the time. We'll have

499
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: you back, Thank you, thank you. I know we didn't

500
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: get to the governor saying that, Okay, well the law

501
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: enforcement doesn't it's just a political statement. It doesn't actually

502
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 1: help crime. We will talk about that in segment four,

503
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: but coming up next Alex Clark's Culture Apothecary podcast. You

504
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: can also email the show TPT at tpusa dot com.

505
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after the break.

506
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 12: So, speaking of wellness brands and controversies, what is going

507
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 12: on with my girl Carlin called just Ingredients being called

508
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 12: out for this Prop sixty five stuff?

509
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 11: What does it mean?

510
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: Yeah?

511
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 13: I mean Prop sixty five is weird like Pandora's box?

512
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 13: Is this a scam? Prop sixty five is definitely not

513
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 13: what people think it is. So what at first glance?

514
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 13: Prop sixty five is a law that's just in the

515
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 13: state of California that says if your product tests high

516
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 13: and lead or higher in lead than their standard, it

517
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 13: must have a label on it that says that this

518
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 13: product contains more lead and it could be linked to cancer,

519
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 13: and you're pretty much putting yourself at harm for consuming

520
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 13: the supplement.

521
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 11: But people don't.

522
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 13: Know is that there really is no proper regulation for

523
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 13: sixty five, meaning that let's say, for example, I am

524
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 13: consuming a brand, I can go test that brand in

525
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 13: my kitchen and if it doesn't test what the brand

526
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 13: is claiming that it does, I can just put a

527
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 13: lawsuit in and it's up to them now to fight

528
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 13: me with all the proof.

529
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 11: That means they have to go back to the science.

530
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 13: They have to prove to me in a court of

531
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 13: law that their product is actually great, which for many

532
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,199
Speaker 13: brands that can cause that could be hundreds of thousands

533
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 13: of dollars. The second aspect of that is you don't

534
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 13: need to be a professional, so it doesn't have to

535
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 13: be a professional lab. So what this is created is

536
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 13: the Prop sixty five has actually been nicknamed the bounty

537
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 13: hunter law. So you have all these law firms in

538
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 13: the state of California that just do this and they

539
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 13: make hundreds of thousands of dollars just suing pretty much

540
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 13: wellness brands. Why wellness because they're using natural products. Which

541
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 13: comes to the third loophole is that Prop. Sixty five

542
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 13: doesn't decipher between naturally occurring heavy metals versus stems that

543
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,479
Speaker 13: some that could be contributing be contributed from, you know,

544
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 13: pesticide use, So they don't separate the two. So if

545
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 13: something is naturally occurring that's high in heavy metals, like

546
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 13: for example, salt, like we've seen so many salt brands

547
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 13: be like hit with you guys are high and let

548
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 13: we live on a floating rock, Like where do you

549
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 13: think the metal is coming from? Like obviously things are

550
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 13: going to be high in heavy metal. Prop sixty five

551
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 13: is so low that most products in the supermarket, most

552
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 13: produce in the supermarket right now exceeds the level of

553
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 13: PROP sixty five. So how is this an accurate baseline?

554
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 12: So you think there is a witch hunt essentially to

555
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 12: go after just ingredients and that they're using unbelievably unfair

556
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 12: standards to hold up against her brand, Well I don't.

557
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 13: I think there's just a witch hunt against Walness brands

558
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 13: in general. Like I almost never see these people testing

559
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 13: lead testing, you know, the crappy brands like the Doritos

560
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 13: and the Cheetos, you know, you know. I mean also

561
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 13: they probably are testing low because there's no real ingredients

562
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 13: in it anyway, So maybe that's why. But I think

563
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 13: there is just like a massive witch hunt with just

564
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 13: Walness brands in general. So if you can't decipher, another

565
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 13: crazy thing is Prop sixty five doesn't apply to fast

566
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 13: food chains and vaccines.

567
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 12: Well there you go, and that tells you everything you

568
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 12: need to know. So what really aggravates me is you've

569
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 12: got people that are allegedly on our team that are

570
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 12: not disclosing the information.

571
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 11: That you just said.

572
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 12: This context within the prop sixty five conversation, and then

573
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 12: they're saying, you know, just Ingredients is lying to you.

574
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 12: They're heavy metals and blah blah blah, and you shouldn't

575
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 12: you shouldn't purchase from them. And I just feel like

576
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 12: there's a little bit of an unfair conversation kind of

577
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 12: being waged here.

578
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 8: Yeah.

579
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 13: I think for any brand in the wellness space, they

580
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 13: should be obviously cognizant of what types of products they're creating, right,

581
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 13: because we always have to be aware of heavy metals.

582
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 13: But most people that are touting heavy metals don't really

583
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 13: understand how they work in general, Like, for example, tuna,

584
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 13: Like everyone's like, don't eat tune because it's high in mercury,

585
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 13: But tuna's also high in selenium, which naturally competes for

586
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 13: mercury in the body, so it's made perfectly.

587
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 9: You know.

588
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 13: Obviously you don't want to like douge yourself in tuna,

589
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 13: like tuna only diet, you know. But nature is always

590
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 13: made perfectly. So that's why heavy metals in isolation through

591
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 13: pesticide use.

592
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 11: Can be really harmful.

593
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 13: Where in a natural setting with optimal minerals, they naturally

594
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 13: push out heavy metals.

595
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 11: So this is why.

596
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 13: Like for me, I always advocate for a mineral rich

597
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 13: diet so we don't have to fear monger heavy metals

598
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 13: all the time, right, Like it's great to have a

599
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 13: CoA and it's great to have a standard, but at

600
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 13: the same time, when you know that there's a lot

601
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 13: of money involved in potentially suing people over something like that,

602
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 13: when sweet potatoes have more heavy metals than most protein powders, like,

603
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 13: we really have to think about where we're getting our

604
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 13: information and what we're actually scared of.

605
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 11: So, you know, do you trust a brand like just

606
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 11: Ingredient still?

607
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 13: Of course, I mean every brand, Like most of the

608
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 13: brands that I work with personally, and I get to

609
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 13: talk to many of the CEOs like regularly. I trust

610
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 13: our brands, like I know that there's good people behind

611
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 13: brands and they're not doing it on purpose. They're not

612
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 13: like I'm sprinkling, you know, heavy metals in our products.

613
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 9: You know.

614
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 13: So I love I love Carolyn and she's great, and

615
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 13: it's just really unfortunate. I've seen so many brands get

616
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 13: slammed and sometimes they can't beat the allegations, they can't

617
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 13: beat the rumors, and you know, once you get a

618
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 13: PROP sixty five warning. There's so much legal action that

619
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 13: goes on behind the scenes, so much money, and it

620
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 13: could be really detrimental to a small business.

621
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 12: Is it truly too expensive to be healthy in America?

622
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 13: It depends like you're either going to pay the cost upfront,

623
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 13: you're going to pay the cost later. So it's like

624
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 13: you get to choose. But I think most people, we

625
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 13: keep telling them that it's too expensive to eat healthy,

626
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 13: it takes too much time to eat healthy. It's don't

627
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 13: even bother pretty much like we see it all the time.

628
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 13: Just eat whatever you want. It's not a big deal.

629
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 13: It's you're here for a good time, not a long time.

630
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 13: And people don't even bother looking. I mean, I just

631
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 13: post the price of eggs at Walmart, basic eggs, right,

632
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 13: I'm not talking pastories, organic.

633
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 11: Just basic eggs.

634
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: Right.

635
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 13: It was like under three dollars and people are like,

636
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 13: I've never seen those prices in years, And they go

637
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 13: on to check and they're like, oh, it is it

638
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 13: is that much Like are you guys even walking through

639
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 13: the produce section.

640
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 11: No, they're not. You know my hot take is they're not.

641
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, they just automatic go straight to the cheeto aisle,

642
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 12: go to the cheetah, they go to the frozen aisle

643
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 12: more specifically, and or they go fast food or they

644
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 12: door dash, and they're not actually walking the perimeter of

645
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 12: the store and buying the real food. And what I

646
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 12: like is that you are still going to be eating

647
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 12: healthier and living healthier if you are buying the non organic,

648
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 12: non pastur raised version, non grass fed version of your meats, eggs,

649
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 12: you know, cheeses, milks, whatever, It's still better to have

650
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 12: that than it is to just have, you know, soda

651
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 12: and pizza roles.

652
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, an egg breakfast is always going to

653
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,719
Speaker 13: be better than cereal sugar.

654
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 12: I just I feel like sometimes people use it as

655
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 12: an excuse. Well, I can't afford organic or pastur rays,

656
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 12: so I'm just eating what I want anyway. I'm like,

657
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 12: you can still eat real food on a budget. You

658
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 12: can go to all d They have organic produce, now

659
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 12: can they even have grass fed meat?

660
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 11: And they've got Passua raise eggs.

661
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: You can go to Walmart.

662
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 12: Walmart is the largest distributor of organic food in the country.

663
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 12: I mean, so that is a massive budget And of

664
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 12: course going to your local farmer's market is going to

665
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 12: be the best too. Yeah, but I don't know, I

666
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 12: guess how except do you think it is or unaccessible?

667
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 11: Are there changes that need to be made?

668
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 8: Well?

669
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 11: I just found out recently.

670
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 13: I was kind of going back and forth with a

671
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 13: follower of mine and we were looking into this, and

672
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 13: actually ninety three percent of Americans have access to some

673
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 13: sort of food delivery system like thank you technology, you know,

674
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 13: like we're if you're able to get Uber eats, you're

675
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 13: able to get your your groceries uber to you, you know,

676
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 13: if you really don't have access to a supermarket. Right, So,

677
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 13: I think we're not even looking at how much technology

678
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 13: has evolved over the years because I think if you're

679
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 13: able to get Amazon, you're also able to get you know,

680
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 13: a lot of non perishable items off of Amazon, right, Like,

681
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 13: I think I see people all over social media touting

682
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 13: how much how much garbage they're getting off of Amazon

683
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 13: so they could organize their house and their refrigerator looks

684
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 13: like something out of you know, I don't know, a

685
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 13: Barbie Doll house, but you can't get you know, a

686
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 13: bag of rolled oats. Yeah, you know, like what are

687
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 13: we talking about here? So of course there's going to

688
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 13: be you know, food deserts in America, but the research

689
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 13: that we have right now doesn't really add up. Because

690
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 13: if ninety three percent of Americans have access to food

691
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 13: delivery systems, but then we're being told seventeen percent of

692
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 13: Americans live in a food desert. The how does I

693
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 13: don't know. I'm not really that good at math, but

694
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 13: I feel like that the math a math in.

695
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 12: What is your rebuttal to people who say, okay, so

696
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 12: you care about, you know, people in poverty being able

697
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 12: to have access to food, but then you're also involved

698
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 12: in the Maha movement. In the Maha movement is trying

699
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 12: to cut Snap soda off of Snap.

700
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 11: What's your response to that?

701
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 13: I mean, I feel like, at the end of the day,

702
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 13: if you can afford soda or like, then you should

703
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 13: want that on your own dime. Like the whole point

704
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 13: of Snap is to support families through nourishment. If you

705
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 13: can tell me the nourishment that you're getting from a soda,

706
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 13: by all means we should keep it. But there's zero

707
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 13: nourishment in any type of soda, like even the healthier ones.

708
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 13: I would say, probably don't even need to be on Snap,

709
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,720
Speaker 13: Like a SODA's a soda. We should be giving water,

710
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 13: we should be prioritizing organic fruit, fruits and vegetables, like

711
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 13: that's what should be on SNAP. And I feel like,

712
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 13: why wouldn't everybody want that?

713
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 12: I don't think a lot of people realize too, because

714
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 12: I just found this out recently. Most states you can

715
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 12: use your WICK program, your food stamp program at the

716
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 12: farmers market.

717
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 11: Yeah, so that's something interesting.

718
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 12: And you know, they've got organic fruits and vegetables and

719
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 12: grass fed meat and all that kind of stuff. And

720
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 12: usually all farmers markets have a sign that say we

721
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 12: accept WICK.

722
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 8: America Fest is the starting point for us to take

723
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 8: America to greater heights in twenty twenty five. We have

724
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 8: a team that is ready to change the world and

725
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 8: bring America back to greatness.

726
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 10: Experience the greatest celebration of America. Four days, thousands of patriots,

Speaker 10: Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles, Glenn Beck, Riley Gaines, Todd Chrisley,

Speaker 10: Savannah Chrisley, and more. December eighteenth to twenty first in Phoenix, Arizona.

737
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: ever been done. Now, obviously, Americafest, I've said before, is

738
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: my favorite event.

739
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 3: I know.

740
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: I've said, Eh, they're all good, and they are, but

741
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: America Fest by far is the best. I don't not

742
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: by by far. Yeah, by far, this one's going to

743
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: be the best America Fest. You don't want to miss it.

751
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: show anytime you want tpt at tpusa dot com. We

752
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: love seeing your emails. I'd love seeing some of the

753
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: stark here. I wanted to read a couple one. I

754
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: think it's Joanna said, just a lot of praise for

755
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: the show. Really appreciate that. It always gives you a

756
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: nice little boost when you read those sorts of things.

757
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 1: So thanks, Johanna. Donnie said this, I thought this was

758
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: really funny, in response to the Kamala Harris getting security

759
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: from LAPD to her multimillion dollar house in Brentwood. But

760
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: you can't afford security. It's got to be provided by

761
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 1: the LA tax payer. We're talking about rich Democrat donors,

762
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: Liberal donors paying for her security. That can happen more.

763
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: She could pay for it for herself, Donnie said. The

764
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: Koch Brothers would happily pay for her security detail if

765
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: she promised to run for president again. That's probably too

766
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: I could probably rally some conservative donors to pay for

767
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: her security. If she promises to run for president in

768
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, she will probably lose forty nine states.

769
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 1: I think that would be hilarious. Donny, thanks for the email.

770
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: David also said to us an email about I can't

771
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: read this let's just say it has to do with

772
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: tampon's in boys bathroom being used for alternative purposes that

773
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 1: may happen if you listen to too much liberal news.

774
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: I'll leave it there. He was a very funny emailed David.

775
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: But I just can't and good conscious read some of

776
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: these words on television. So there's that again. TPT ATPUSA

777
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: dot com. I have too much fun reading these. We

778
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: wish we should do this more. Sometimes I forget and

779
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: we go through and it's They're very fun to watch.

780
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: TPT at TPUSA dot com. I promised I would get

781
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: to this. This is Governor of Massachusetts Maura heally talking

782
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: about look now, sending more law enforcement agents into crime

783
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: real dilapidated cities is not does it nothing to do

784
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: with crime and has everything to do with politics. I

785
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: kid you not, she actually said that. Watched this and

786
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: we will.

787
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 3: Discuss you know.

788
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 14: Look, Jen, as you know, I'm a former prosecutor, former

789
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 14: attorney general, and as governor, I put public safety first.

790
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,280
Speaker 14: And unfortunately, what I continue to see week after week

791
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 14: is a Trump administration using the National Guard in an

792
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 14: effort to politically intimidate or try to politically intimidate certain opponents,

793
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 14: certain states, certain cities. It does nothing to support or

794
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 14: further public safety.

795
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, so sending the National Guard is just a political point.

796
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Governor Newsom, we played a clip.

797
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure if we play it on the show.

798
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: If we haven't, we should, but he said, yeah, they're

799
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: trying to intimidate people like ICE is going to show

800
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: up to polling stations to try and chill the vote. Which, Kevin,

801
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: why would Ice be? Why would Immigration and Custom enforcement

802
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: being at polling stations intimidate citizens who are on their

803
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: way to vote. That seems like a weird thing. But

804
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: that's not what we're talking about necessarily. But that's the

805
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: whole thing. They're trying to intimidate people, you know, or

806
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: trying to uh force people to understand, Hey, more law

807
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: enforcement and actually enforcing laws makes things safer. I don't

808
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: know why libs are choosing to die on this hill.

809
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: I mean again, I've said this over and over again.

810
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: There's you don't know why they're choosing to drive to

811
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: die on the trans Sports Hill, no idea why they

812
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: chose to die on the Kilmar Abrego Garcia Hill. There's

813
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 1: so many Hills that they've decided I'm going to haul

814
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 1: myself up on this and choose to defend it till

815
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: my last and dying breath. People want to be safe.

816
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: If you look at anybody in Washington, d C. Who

817
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: is any amount of reasonable sensibilities, they've gone, Oh yeah,

818
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: it actually is safer to walk around the streets at nights.

819
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: We don't feel the threat of people coming to commit

820
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: a crime against us. So, no, Governor Heale, it's not

821
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: a political statement in that or trying to intimidate their

822
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: political rivals. No, it's a political statement in the fact

823
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: that we're gonna make it better. We're gonna actually use

824
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: our power to do things for the public goods, something

825
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 1: that she herself should be doing along with everybody else

826
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: in positions of power. That's gonna do it for us

827
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: here at turning Points tonight, Charlie is gonna take us out,

828
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: have a fantastic weekend, and we will see a Monday,

829
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:54,760
Speaker 1: same time, same place. God bless America.

830
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 8: I want to talk about politics, in particular elections. What

831
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 8: did we learn the state eight of like what's happening

832
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 8: right now, the state of the r n C, the grassroots,

833
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 8: the establishment so much happening. So first, Tyler, how you.

834
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: Doing, Charlie, it's gonna be here. I got to match

835
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: Alex's energy here.

836
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: Good luck.

837
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 8: That's ma And I'll tell you what's my energy.

838
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 2: But I'm actually following a lot of those protocols.

839
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 8: You look great, Tyler's great, doesn't he.

840
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,879
Speaker 2: I'll tell no more fast food, no caffeine.

841
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 8: That's that's big for you.

842
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, huge, that would That was into the last election.

843
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 2: The number one advice I can give everybody is you

844
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: got to quit Celsius, all the caffeine, all that.

845
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 8: I totally agree.

846
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 2: It just kills you.

847
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 8: So if you don't know what Celsius says, don't stay

848
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 8: away from that stuff that monsters. So, Tyler, what you

849
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 8: ran the largest ever ballot chasing operation in Republican Party history,

850
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,799
Speaker 8: one thousand full time people. I was able to take

851
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 8: credit for it and kind of watch it from afar.

852
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 8: But you hired the people, you sourced the people. What

853
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 8: did you learn through that entire process we had?

854
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean, for all those that are listening, the run

855
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 2: a business that housed hundreds of people in a business,

856
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 2: you know that that comes with a lot of a

857
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 2: lot of struggles. The hiring process alone. Identifying the right

858
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: people to be able to accept, adopt a culture and

859
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: then get into the job is what's part of building

860
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 2: the business. That's what we've done a Turning Point so

861
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: well on the backs of a lot of really great

862
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 2: advisors that have helped us for along the way. So

863
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: it's great that at Turning Point we had a brand

864
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: that we could attract people to, and that we had

865
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: a culture that we could attract people to.

866
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: A lot of.

867
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: Political operations don't have that, and so we've been really

868
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,360
Speaker 2: blessed because people could look at Charlie and see the

869
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: Charlie kirkshow every single day and go I want to

870
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 2: be part of that. They could see the brand that

871
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 2: Turning Point USA had built and say, I want to

872
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: be part of that. That's unique and that's what I

873
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: think enabled us. I mean you and you and I

874
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 2: sat down and talked about this and we said, we

875
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: looked around and we said, there's nobody actually doing the

876
00:44:54,680 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 2: whole political operation the right way. Cfoce packs. They've for

877
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 2: years just kind of come in at the last minute,

878
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 2: raise a bunch of money from donors, and then they

879
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: just throw whatever they possibly can in the sloppiest way

880
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 2: possible at an election, and that's not enough to win.

881
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 2: You have to do it the way that the left

882
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,839
Speaker 2: does it, which is the left has for years been

883
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 2: talking and harping about the community organizer model, the relationship

884
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: building model at every customer that's out there that's a voter,

885
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 2: you know, trying to get them over the line to

886
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: vote for maybe the first time in a long time

887
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 2: or for the first time ever. Especially when we talk

888
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: about the youth voters and why we had so much

889
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: success in such such a dramatic increase with youth voters

890
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,960
Speaker 2: is because when you focus in your conversations that right way,

891
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 2: then it works. And for us, that blends with the

892
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 2: hiring process because anyone that understands that and actually gets

893
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: drills deep into the process, the brand, the culture of

894
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,240
Speaker 2: what we're trying to do, it becomes easier.

895
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 8: But hiring a thousand people, what period of time did

896
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 8: you have to hire a thousand human beings to go

897
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 8: chase ballots and the Arizona Sun.

898
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 2: Well, we were very lucky because we have again a

899
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 2: lot of people who are already near, near and dear

900
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 2: to us.

901
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 8: College students, but college students, volunteers, members.

902
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 2: Of staff that people who used to work for us,

903
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 2: people who used to work for us, their parents, uncles,

904
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,800
Speaker 2: and siblings. So again, that's why it's so important to

905
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: establish long term, credible organizations in places that matter, like Arizona,

906
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 2: like other places, other swing states. We need a turning

907
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 2: point esque operation in every swing state. Yes, but to

908
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: the point is, you still have challenges. You still have

909
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 2: to vet every single one of these people individually. You

910
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: have to look at their entire social media background, you

911
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 2: have to pull all of their their past there to

912
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 2: do a background check on every single person. You can't

913
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 2: just hire willy nilly and then when they got hired.

914
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 2: You know, as you know you're aware of many of

915
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 2: these issues. Is you have people who do crazy things.

916
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 8: Why the full time model? Why, Tyler, did you not

917
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 8: say let's just hire people part time and use volunteers.

918
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 8: Why did you make the argument that full time labor

919
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 8: was essential for this operation, the successful operation.

920
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: It wasn't even us that made the argument. The left

921
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 2: made the argument for us, right, because the left actually

922
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,879
Speaker 2: years ago, about twenty five years ago, started putting full

923
00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: time people and.

924
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 8: Everyone print was part of that here in this state.

925
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, So where we are, right, now in Colorado, this

926
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: is where it was born. You have the combination of

927
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: Arabella and Democracy Alliance. And without getting into all the details, well,

928
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 2: Arabella's essentially the funding mechanism that's able to go out

929
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: and do a bunch of special projects, that enables the

930
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: left to do a bunch of crazy things.

931
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 1: Whenever you see something crazier.

932
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: Like how did that enter the zeitgeist, it probably came

933
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 2: from Arabella's infrastructure. And we have full presentations on this,

934
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 2: but here in Colorado is where CODA started, the Colorado

935
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 2: Democracy Alliance, and that was intended to replace the Democrat

936
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: Party in Colorado because what the Democrats realized early on

937
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 2: that the Republican Party still hasn't figured it out, is

938
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 2: that the party itself, the apparatus, is actually pretty useless.

939
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 2: It actually is worse than useless. It gets in the

940
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 2: way more times than it actually helps. And so what

941
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 2: the the Democrats here in Colorado did was they realized, oh,

942
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 2: we are going to create an alternate party structure outside

943
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: of the party, and again we're going to call it

944
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: Democracy Alliance. And this is this is the permanent infrastructure

945
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 2: that we're going to build because we can't count on

946
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party to actually show up and do all

947
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 2: the right things. And they did that, and they did

948
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: it very well, and they did it so well they

949
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: were able to spread it across the entire country, and

950
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: Colorado Democracy Alliance became Democracy Alliance. And our side is

951
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 2: still kind of going, oh, well, we got to check

952
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: in with you know, with you know again, not to

953
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,479
Speaker 2: throw Mitch McConnell, Mitch McConnell, all, all of the McConnell fans,

954
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 2: establishment establishment checkpoints before you find it.

955
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 8: So but this is an important point. So the Democrat

956
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 8: infrastructure was always outside of the party, and one of

957
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,760
Speaker 8: the reasons we were able to win in twenty sixteen

958
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 8: twenty twenty four is not because of infrastructure we help,

959
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 8: but because Donald Trump is a once and a hundred

960
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 8: year candidate, right would you agree?

961
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:06,399
Speaker 9: Yeah?

962
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 8: It was just so outrageous, so in a good way,

963
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 8: like so overwhelmingly positive and popular that it forgave all

964
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 8: the sins of the Republican infrastructures.

965
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 2: So this is the most important point, Charlie, is that

966
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 2: you have to have a candidate that enables that outside

967
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 2: organization organism to actually survive. So if you don't have

968
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 2: candidates that are actually exciting for those people to come

969
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,359
Speaker 2: take the job and work. For those people to show

970
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: up and knock the doors and build relationship to two

971
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: years out, you can't do it. Donald Trump actually unlocked

972
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 2: something because for the first time in a long time,

973
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: maybe ever, the general populace was like, I want to

974
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 2: go work for that guy. And that's what enables that

975
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 2: relational organizing, community organizing model to work
