00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:06.839
Hey, welcome World of Blazers.

2
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:11.480
Today, I have Bruce McGhee post of the Weathered View

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.839
Weather Report. Weatherview, by the way, greatest morning show on

4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:21.719
X period. Haven't if you haven't tuned in and watched it,

5
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.480
you have you have to definitely get involved. It's it's

6
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.800
a it's very cool and I'm gonna I might be

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.879
off on this, but because you're in California, I'm in California,

8
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.719
we're roughly around the same geographical location. Kind of gives

9
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.479
me the old La Mantin vibes. Be honest, Yes, you

10
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.920
know what I'm talking about. Yeah, it gives me that

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.200
a bit, which is great. Ah, well kind of me too.

12
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:47.479
I guess I might be a I don't know if

13
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:49.799
I'm a little behind, probably, but regardless, you know, I

14
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.039
listened to it as well. They're very prominent out there

15
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.359
in the Bay Area, so uh yeah, I get those vibes.

16
00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.399
Really cool, except with without all the censorships.

17
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:00.439
So there are some.

18
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:07.079
There's some choice words, especially from our acquaintance Aaron. Yes,

19
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.680
when he goes on his rants, which is great, it's funny.

20
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.280
So let's let's just dive into it.

21
00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.519
Man. You know, there's been some stuff going on. But

22
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.400
I want to get some background on you. What prompted

23
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:24.760
you first, Let's say, what problems you to get into podcasting,

24
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.400
because it seemed like everybody kind of did this around

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.560
COVID when they were starting to pay attention to what

26
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.000
was going on, decisions being made by the government California

27
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.200
government for us, but also you know, federally, and people

28
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.040
were starting to realize, like, hold on, I haven't paid

29
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.879
attention because I don't want to be bothered with politics,

30
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.040
but now it's kind of hit me in the face.

31
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.480
Was that your story or were you into this before that? Oh? No,

32
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.319
I was in this before that twenty twelve. When I

33
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:54.280
moved to Gilroy, California, because that's where I'm from. I

34
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.359
was a voracious speaker or just I wanted to talk

35
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.239
all the time. I mean, I love talking to people.

36
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.680
I'm you know, I'm not a social butterfly. When I

37
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.640
go into the room, I'm not you know, pastored up

38
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.319
against the wall looking at everybody. I'm like, hey, i's

39
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.879
going My name is you know, Bruce? Right here I go.

40
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:12.719
I started out in the ministry at a church that

41
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:16.759
I was attending back back in the day, and I

42
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:23.879
became a a junior high school ministry. So being able

43
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.960
to talk was was one of my things that I

44
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.439
was able to do. And I and when I when

45
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.319
I kind of got into the sphere of podcasting, it

46
00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:34.439
was only because of the fact that I was getting

47
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.159
involved in politics. I was really dissatisfied with what was

48
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.560
going on. And that was back in twenty twelve. I've

49
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.400
already went through the two thousand and eight the bacle

50
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.560
with with the with the financial meltdown and stuff like that.

51
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:49.240
But I really started getting involved when I started hanging

52
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:54.360
around with the liberal crowd here, which is unavoidable, Yeah,

53
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:59.879
which is unavoidable area. But I decided, you know, i'll

54
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.240
podcasting came around. I started listening to different different podcasts.

55
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:04.719
I think the first one that I listened to was

56
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.439
to Jason staple in podcast. As I was commuting because

57
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.159
it was my first time I ever had to commute

58
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.599
from from one spot to another, which was a forty

59
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.280
five minute commute, I had a lot of time on

60
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.639
my hands. I was born of I was boring radio.

61
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.719
You know, Lamont and Tamali was on. I was fine,

62
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.360
that was great, you know, but I was kind of

63
00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.759
beyond the music thing and beyond the Lamont and tamality thing.

64
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:29.520
So I started listening to a guy named Jason Stapleton, libertarian,

65
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.000
and I was kind of at that point in my

66
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.879
political verse. I was going like, oh, that sounds cool.

67
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:40.280
I think I'm a libertarian, you know. So so I

68
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.240
decided to get partner up with my old co host,

69
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.039
which his name was Doug, and we did this out

70
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.039
of the same garage that I'm in now, a different setup,

71
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.120
but we started podcasting. Then we started podcasting kind of

72
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.360
like a what is the Hannity and Coombs type thing

73
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.039
where I was the I was the independent kind of

74
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.639
conservative guy. Doug was the liberal type guy that and

75
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.439
we kind of argued back forth, great banter. The show

76
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.879
went on for one hundred episodes, and then it just

77
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:13.439
kind of faded away because Number one, uh, just we

78
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.560
started drifting apart. It was one of those things where

79
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:17.800
you know, you don't want to clash so much that

80
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.720
you lose your friendship, and and things were getting kind

81
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:23.000
of heated in the political realm. So we kind of

82
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:28.120
decided to kind of around what year was that That

83
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.319
had to be probably two thousand and sixteen to two.

84
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.120
I was just going to tru yeah, right around the

85
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:39.000
Trump era, as usually when most people's relationships start to disintegrate, you.

86
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.199
Know, it started to strain a little bit, and we

87
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:43.600
decided that, you know, our friendship was better than that,

88
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:45.759
and so we decided to stop that.

89
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.720
So it's a smart move. So we're still in touch. Then, yeah,

90
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.240
we're still in touch. We still talk.

91
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.560
And then at the same and at the same time,

92
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.959
I got into a direct marketing business that I still

93
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.759
have today, and I started doing a life live stream

94
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.079
on Facebook which was called The Morning Drive, the same

95
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.040
kind of like The Morning View, but it was just

96
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.879
me and I was crying a podcast all the way through,

97
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:11.839
which I don't do anymore because I'm a terrible It's hard.

98
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:17.639
It's hard, it's tough. You make it very easy to

99
00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:18.600
do that, but I.

100
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:20.680
Have a method of how I do, but it's not

101
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.160
as easy as it seems.

102
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.480
Yeah, but it's kind of evolved from there. So I've

103
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.600
had several different podcasts underneath my belt, and just you know,

104
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.839
going through this, these are the two most successful ones

105
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:34.199
I've had for going forward with it. I've actually spent

106
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.480
a lot of time in the last couple of weeks

107
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.399
kind of doing getting the three businesses that I have

108
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.199
other than my nine to five together to make a

109
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:48.040
really kind of a full court assault on getting my

110
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.480
entrepreneurial aspects going.

111
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.160
So you're trying to push and expand into the podcasting

112
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.040
arena more or or just all encompassing, Like, I.

113
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.720
Still want to be independent. I don't want to be

114
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.360
a big fit, you know, I want to don't want

115
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:01.959
to be the big fish. You know, they don't want

116
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:06.120
to be a popular fish in the big ocean.

117
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:08.279
I mean, yeah, that that makes sense to me. You know,

118
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:11.079
as you grow, and we've seen this with many other

119
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.079
people in this space, is they they get the deal,

120
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.680
they get everything that they want, and then they're no

121
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.319
longer themselves because now your sponsors and whoever's paying your

122
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.240
check is telling you exactly what you're supposed to say.

123
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.079
And and uh, that's not the road I'm going down either,

124
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.199
to be honest. So that's great background there. But let

125
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.199
me see, so when it comes to politics, I'm gonna

126
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:33.839
I'm gonna ask you this.

127
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.279
You're conservative, all right? Here, here's here's what.

128
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.720
Here's the start of a conversation when we start getting

129
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.240
a politics. Now, because I've seen a change and even

130
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.120
with my audience, as I'm sure you know, because I've

131
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.199
expressed it before.

132
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:49.639
You know, it fluctuates. Uh.

133
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.160
And I think people have a perception of who you're

134
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.839
supposed to be versus what.

135
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:54.560
You really are.

136
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.600
So let's talk about MAGA and what you think MAGA

137
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:02.040
is and and how they've been treating everybody who's a conservative.

138
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:04.160
It's like, all of a sudden, if you have an

139
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.240
opposite opinion, you're a traitor and they just they abandon you.

140
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:08.839
And it kind of calls in the question whether or

141
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.240
not there were your people in the first place, because

142
00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.000
right now, in my opinion, they seem to be very

143
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.519
narrow and close minded on a lot of issues. But

144
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:24.879
I still agree with the fundamental foundation of making America

145
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:28.319
great again, and we're going to get there. It's gotten better.

146
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.759
But what is your opinion on the MAGA crowd at

147
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.040
this moment? And and I hope I'm not offending anything

148
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.759
saying it's about a question.

149
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.240
Yeah, it's the same thing I think about the far

150
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:42.079
left in the same token, because you know, there's just

151
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.959
these fringes that are outside of everything that I think

152
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:49.720
that normal people think about. And you know, I've kind

153
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.720
of broadbrushed a lot of my liberal friends that I

154
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.639
have here in the South Valley here where I live,

155
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.360
and I apologize for first of all, if anybody's watching this,

156
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.519
you know a lot of a lot of that. But

157
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:08.160
it's hard not to broadbrush when I just believe that

158
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:13.480
silence says a lot, especially when people are vocal on

159
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.480
social media on one thing and not as vocal as

160
00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.240
something that they did that they that they either agree

161
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.720
with or disagree with you about on another on another level. Uh.

162
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:28.839
That being said is that during this no Kings thing,

163
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.720
let's just take the note things Kings thing, because that's

164
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:35.960
I mean, that's just in front. I know a lot

165
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.720
of people that went to No Kings. I look at

166
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.639
them and I'm going like, you know, I'm just shaking

167
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.519
my head. But it's not a magat thing that I'm

168
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:47.279
shaking my head about. It's the fact that these were

169
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.360
the same people that were silent during the era of

170
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.879
which they had power, you know, the Biden era, the

171
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.039
Aboma era. They were just silent about it. You know.

172
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.799
But once you know, Trump got into office, or any

173
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:02.320
Republican for that matter, or conservative gets into office, all

174
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.559
of a sudden, everything is evil and everything is this,

175
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:09.440
and everything is that it bugs me. It really bugs me.

176
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.720
And to see the silence of some of the people

177
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:13.600
that I know that are most vocal on my social

178
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.080
media and my social circle that I that I that

179
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.919
I have, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

180
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:23.600
And it's one of those things where you have to

181
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:28.600
make decisions, and sometimes you have to make hard decisions

182
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.240
to what your circle of friends are. I mean, really,

183
00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.159
I mean I don't want to be into a crowd

184
00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.399
of people and then think that people are rolling their

185
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:39.759
eyes and you know, and you know, giggling behind my back.

186
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:41.600
I mean, I know a lot of people do. Yeah,

187
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:44.279
it is what it is. It's a hard thing to

188
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:47.720
do when, especially when you're in a family situation. My friends, uh,

189
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.120
my personal friends share friendships with my wife and stuff

190
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.080
like that, and I don't want that to bleed over

191
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.840
to her, you know, And a lot of times, you know,

192
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.080
they go like guilty by association if he's like that

193
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.120
and she's like that, and it's just it makes stress

194
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.480
all the way around. And uh yeah, that's what I

195
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.480
kind of say about that. But as far as mag

196
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.679
is concerned, I don't identify with Mega. I'm an American

197
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.039
first type guy. I want our country to be prosperous.

198
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:17.600
I want our country to be strong. I want a

199
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:20.399
lot of things that Maga wants. But I'm not going

200
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.840
to go off the deep end and be a fundamentalist

201
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.360
about the way my career conservative views are.

202
00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:31.480
Hmm, yeah, I think that's the way. Well, that's how

203
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:33.360
I see it. I'm gonna be honest. I've I've I've

204
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:38.240
made that very clear. So with that being said, though, Bruce,

205
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:43.360
there is a splintering in the Conservative Party, especially as

206
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.600
of late. And you know, we have Maga, we have

207
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.039
you know, the neo cons never really went away, they're

208
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:52.120
still there. And then we have people you know that

209
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:56.840
are becoming like the Thomas Massey crowd for example. It's

210
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:59.879
not necessarily a movement or you know, but they're starting

211
00:10:59.879 --> 00:11:03.240
to shift over and like, wait a minute, you can't

212
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.519
talk bad about Ram Paul or Thomas mass or anybody else.

213
00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:11.320
And now we have you know, followers going and saying

214
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.679
I'm part of this group, this group, like I think

215
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:16.360
there's like three or four different factions right now within

216
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.679
the Conservative Party itself. And then when you're when you're

217
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.919
trying to call for unity, people get offended by that.

218
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:22.799
Well, I can't side with you because.

219
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:27.320
You're pro Israel, or you're not pro Israel, or it

220
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.759
always comes down to freaking foreign relations, which is which

221
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.039
is ridiculous. We just can't talk about America itself and

222
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:36.840
what we need. But it's so splintered. Is this a

223
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:43.399
sign of us losing or Conservatives losing control here really

224
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.279
soon in the midterms and moving forward.

225
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.279
I don't think so. I've thought about this a lot

226
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:53.919
with the midterms, and I'm I think President Trump, and

227
00:11:53.759 --> 00:11:58.240
I said this during his first administration. The guy tweets

228
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:00.559
like a like a heartbroken fourteen year old. I mean,

229
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.759
he has he can't help himself. He can't help himself.

230
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:08.240
And when he started his second term, he was really

231
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:11.960
really kind of in the background of Twitter and all that,

232
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:13.960
and then all of a sudden he started doing it

233
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.840
all over again. And the policies that he's set forth

234
00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.840
I agree with, I mean pretty much so, but some

235
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:25.120
of the promises that he made that he's broken. As

236
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.200
far as the immigration stuff, the deportation and stuff, I

237
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:30.679
don't agree with that stuff a lot of it. You know.

238
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.240
I agree that we should go after the burst people

239
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:36.080
that have crossed our border, but you know, somebody who's

240
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.879
been here twenty thirty forty years and paying into the system,

241
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.279
you know, has a business and things like that, because

242
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:45.120
they had a traffic ticket, all of a sudden they're

243
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.159
getting you know, called away in the immigration court and

244
00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.440
stuff like that. I don't agree with that. I didn't

245
00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:54.600
vote for that, But that being said, you know, we

246
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.039
have to do something about our immigration system. They've been

247
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.960
talking for decades. I mean I'm sixty five years old.

248
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.279
I mean these things have been talked about since I

249
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:07.159
was a kid, and we still haven't done anything about immigration.

250
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.000
And they say, well, we're gonna we're working on comprehensive immigration. Well,

251
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.200
comprehensive means we're never going to do anything about it.

252
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.120
That That's the way that I've been following everything. Uh

253
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.679
but yeah, I mean to get back online with the

254
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.960
with their question is just like it's a weird situation

255
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:30.320
with politics and and how we, uh we differ between

256
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.480
Democrat and Republican. My old co host Doug which I'll

257
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.080
refer back to the the old Weather Soul podcast, which

258
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.080
was the podcast being him, had there was once a

259
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.120
time where Democrats and Republicans are closely knit. I mean,

260
00:13:44.279 --> 00:13:46.720
we can you know, we had our differences, but you

261
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.399
know they can reach behind the aisle and and and

262
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.960
make deals and and right now that the rift is

263
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:56.320
so far and it's because of those splinters, It's because

264
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.919
of Mega, it's because of the far LEP progressives, the

265
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:02.440
communist movement to socialists, the democratic socialist movement, whatever you

266
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.639
want to call it. I think that we're so far

267
00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.919
off of the mark now. I don't know if there's

268
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:08.679
no repair in it.

269
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.399
Yeah, I think, especially well as far as I can

270
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.360
recall anyway, Like in the nineties, it was a lot

271
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.600
not as a contentent like not so contented or contentious

272
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.840
the relationship and what I find like I'm gen X,

273
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.360
you know, so the deal is like and you know,

274
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.159
Aaron and other people and a lot of people and

275
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.279
watch us won't know who we're talking about. But you know,

276
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:33.320
Aaron I had to say it podcasts go check them out.

277
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.759
It's worth your time. And his rants are just gold.

278
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:39.879
But the the thing is is like a lot of

279
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.200
us from that generation are actually just really old school Democrats.

280
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.279
I mean that's how we're raised. We aligned a lot

281
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.799
with you know, how that party then viewed things and

282
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:53.279
what they looked looked after and stood up for. And

283
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.240
you know, we realized that, like, are the conservative Is

284
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:59.720
the Conservative Party really that far right? Or is it

285
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:03.879
really just aligning with fundamental values that people really are

286
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.639
looking for for our society to stay together and move

287
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.360
together and keep America together. Now, yes, there's a far

288
00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.720
right faction absolutely, which is ridiculous. And you got it,

289
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.639
like you said earlier, on both sides, you got far right,

290
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.120
far left. I'm homeless. I think at this point, I'm thinking,

291
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.039
you know, I could just say this. I know I'm conservative,

292
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.000
but I'm not sure I aligned with a party anymore.

293
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.759
I just know that I'm not left. You know, I'm

294
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.039
not far anything because I've always taken the view that look,

295
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.799
I think either side makes some decent points, but I'm

296
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.759
not going to be all in on either side because

297
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.639
I can't, you know, especially how I grew up and

298
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.759
you know, you being in that Bay Area sphere, it's

299
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:41.879
like it's too hard to just take a hard stance

300
00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:45.320
either way because you see people living, you interact with people,

301
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.200
and you and you know you get it. You're like, yeah,

302
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.080
I get it the way you live in what.

303
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:51.840
You're going through. I understand how this affects you.

304
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:54.799
All right, everyone, it's time for me to tell you

305
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.879
about bear knuckles gloves. That's bear like a grizzly bear,

306
00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:04.799
so spelled eaar knuckles. And here's what I like about

307
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:10.480
bare knuckles gloves. Barre knuckles gloves are durable, they're comfortable.

308
00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:13.919
They're made to protect your hands as they should while

309
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:19.120
also reducing hand fatigue. They have a patented double wedge

310
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:22.759
design which has a pre curve, so what that means

311
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.919
is it actually fits your hands naturally. They're the glove

312
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.240
to go to for anybody who works with their hands

313
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:30.919
for a living. I myself from blue collar. I know

314
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:33.840
that everybody out there listening to this right now who

315
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:38.960
works in construction, works in farming. Gloves don't last. Most

316
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.360
gloves aren't comfortable. They get the job done. But let's

317
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.559
be honest, every big box retailer that you go to

318
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.039
or big box hardware store the gloves off the shelf.

319
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.799
They just they're done within a week or two at

320
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:56.759
the most. Bare knuckles offers durability, offers comfort. They're among

321
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:01.000
the best work gloves out there. And for listening to

322
00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:04.400
this show, and because I support blue collar all day,

your fifteen percent off, So I can I can come

338
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:55.799
from that. Now I'm going to circle back to the

339
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.440
immigration thing because I'm with you. I'm with you, but

340
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.400
there's also the counter argument here. Okay, So the thing

341
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.720
with it is it's not fair to the immigrants, as

342
00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.880
you said, we've been here for like ten twenty years.

343
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:14.519
Counter to that is this, while it's not anybody's fault,

344
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.079
it's not their fault, and it's not my fault or

345
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.119
your fault. Like we'll get criticized for speaking on it.

346
00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.880
But it's not our fault that previous administrations didn't enforce

347
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.920
the actual law that was already in place. So here

348
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.599
we are at a tough spot because it's like, well,

349
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.920
now we're going to enforce it, and people are like, well,

350
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.759
I've been here for twenty years, why are you suddenly

351
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:34.920
ripping me away from my family. Well, it's like if

352
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.359
you rob a bank, the FBI is not going to

353
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:39.240
stop looking for you. Eventually it catches up. Now I'm

354
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.599
not saying that's right, Bruce, because I am agreeing with you,

355
00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:43.519
because I think we got to look at these people

356
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:46.519
and say, well, twenty years, I get it. You can

357
00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:49.200
ask the question why did you not go through the

358
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:50.680
process in that twenty years though?

359
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.480
What stopped you?

360
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:53.160
I have a friend person, right, I just had loans

361
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.759
with them the other day, who is a younger guy.

362
00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:57.400
He started working with me when he was just out

363
00:18:57.400 --> 00:19:01.279
of high school, doing gigs and everything, and then he

364
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.880
ended up going to college got his computer science degree.

365
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.559
I mean, the guy's doing it right. He just got

366
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:09.440
his citizenship this year. He's been working out the system.

367
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.400
He's already planning to bring his wife over. But because

368
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:15.000
of the consulate in Mexico and how everything's going where

369
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:16.480
they're at and or so backed up they're not even

370
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:18.119
going to be able to get an appointment till August

371
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:20.759
of next year. So but they're waiting it out, they're

372
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.119
doing it and how they have to do it.

373
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:24.960
So I think that.

374
00:19:26.759 --> 00:19:29.880
We can't ignore the laws weren't enforced, and we could

375
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.880
be hard and say, well, the law's the law, But

376
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:32.519
with these.

377
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.920
People that have been here, I think what we need

378
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:35.279
to do.

379
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.359
Is say, well, you got one over on us, period,

380
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:41.720
and it's our fault for not enforcing the law, but

381
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.200
you don't have a criminal record.

382
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:45.880
You've been contributing. So here's what we're going to do.

383
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:46.759
We're going to give you.

384
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:50.039
This timeframe to get it right, and after that, if

385
00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.640
they still haven't done it, then you know what, they

386
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:53.559
got enforced the law.

387
00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:54.480
That's way I look at it.

388
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.440
But we do have to give them the opportunity because

389
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.839
it's not their fault the law wasn't enforced. But it's also,

390
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:03.000
you know, not our fault that they didn't take the

391
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:06.279
steps and measures during that twenty ten whatever how many

392
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:07.799
long they've been here to even try.

393
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:08.759
To become a citizen. Yeah.

394
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.680
Correct, So there's that other argument to it, and we

395
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.480
do have to be empathetic, but we can't be so

396
00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:16.480
much to where we're giving the country away either, So

397
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:19.400
we do have to give those people options for sure.

398
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.519
With I agree with that. My take on it is

399
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:29.279
that this is a media driven hyper be scared, hair

400
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.559
on fire type issue, at least with the mainstream media,

401
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.960
because they're not doing the what do you want to

402
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:40.119
call it, the check in on what's going on with

403
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:43.480
the headline news. Okay, you see the news in the

404
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:46.759
Bay Area. Oh, they tackled a grandma and they've got

405
00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.640
the family guy from the courts as he was going

406
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.400
in to checking his immigration status. 're going to immigration

407
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.000
court and these people are being ripped away from their

408
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.359
families and blah blah blah. But they're not doing the

409
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:00.480
follow up reports on what really happened after the fact

410
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.480
that that happened. Now, I would hope to think that

411
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.240
when ICE is taking these people into detention, that they're

412
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:10.480
actually doing some kind of hearing or something to get

413
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:12.799
them through and say, Okay, well, you're a good guy.

414
00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:14.599
You know we're gonna let you go. We're sorry we

415
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.359
tackled you, and you know you made headline news and

416
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:20.880
stuff like that. I'm hoping that that that has happened,

417
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:24.359
but there's no outlet for any of us to find

418
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:26.880
out whether that has happened or not. You don't have

419
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:29.559
to follow up from from the mainstream media because the

420
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:33.559
mainstream media doesn't want you to know what's going on.

421
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.160
K TV, you, k n TV, all these Bay area

422
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:40.319
stations do not do any kind of follow up stuff

423
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:44.039
about what's going on with the immigration status here or

424
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.680
the immigration you know, policies that are happening here, and

425
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.000
the arrests and the and whether or not you know,

426
00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:53.359
people are let go or deported or whatever. I haven't

427
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:56.920
heard anything, so I have to take I have to

428
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:00.200
take that news, and then I've got to dig to

429
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.000
dig into X. I've got to dig into other sources

430
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:05.359
because I just don't take things by by face value.

431
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.880
So I kind of dig into it and to find

432
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:09.680
out that, you know, a lot of these people are

433
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:12.680
returned to their families and they go on and they

434
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:16.160
have a you know, immigration lawyer or status. This it's

435
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:17.720
going to cost them a lot of money, of course,

436
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:21.359
because you know, quote they're they're not here legally. I

437
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.039
think it's a shame that being said, you know, we

438
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:28.559
have to fix the mainstream media, and unfortunately the mainstream

439
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.599
media is actually taking a back seat to places like X,

440
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:35.039
you know, and I think that's where we have to

441
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:39.000
start getting our even with X, you know, with that said,

442
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:41.680
a lot of hyperbole, a lot of AI, a lot

443
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:44.119
of all this stuff, but you know, that's at least

444
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:48.000
a place to start to go do your sourcing. And

445
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:51.559
so that that's kind of where I'm at with it. Yeah,

446
00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.240
So the.

447
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.119
This isn't a me respond to and disagreement, by the way,

448
00:22:56.119 --> 00:23:00.240
It's it's more reinforcing, which said, But the thing is

449
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:02.160
is they don't want to give you the fallow up

450
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:04.720
story because they'd be damned if there was a win

451
00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:07.960
or the other side. That's really what it is. But

452
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.960
I put the fault on the people themselves. I mean,

453
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:13.599
the everyday person who doesn't want their routine bothered by

454
00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.680
actual you know, politics or going past the headlines. You know,

455
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.319
I've always said this. I say people live on the

456
00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:22.960
surface of information. They do not want to know more.

457
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:26.400
They're just following their leaders, They're following their favorite podcasts,

458
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:28.960
you know, Pod Save America. You know, screw those guys. Whatever,

459
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.119
it's my opinion, but there's there's there's things like that

460
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:35.200
going on where people just they want to live in

461
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:35.599
the bubble.

462
00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:37.240
It makes them feel good and they don't want to

463
00:23:37.279 --> 00:23:37.920
be challenged.

464
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.880
And as I said before, you know, when it comes

465
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.599
to these issues like this is more current event issues,

466
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:46.359
we can call it political, but it's because it has

467
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:49.000
become political. But it was really just reinforcing laws that

468
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.880
were being ignored, So it wasn't like this was something new, right,

469
00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:55.519
But I agree that there isn't a fall up because

470
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:57.440
they don't want to show the wins. You know, they

471
00:23:57.440 --> 00:24:01.160
want to keep people separated, want people to not know

472
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:04.039
the truth, so that they're just continually in conflict with

473
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:04.559
each other.

474
00:24:05.160 --> 00:24:06.799
And this is all very well planned.

475
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:08.720
I mean, I can get conspiratorial and say, well, they're

476
00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:10.640
trying to push us to fight with each other.

477
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.759
Sure, let's, you know, let's have a civil war. Let's

478
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:14.000
let's keep everybody.

479
00:24:13.599 --> 00:24:15.839
Busy while we secretly go behind and start, you know,

480
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:18.279
instilling the policies that the World Economic Forum has been

481
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:21.359
trying to push for all these years. Maybe, but that's

482
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.160
you know, those are conspiracies. Possibly maybe legally we can

483
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:28.279
go down the road later but you know, as far

484
00:24:28.279 --> 00:24:30.799
as as far as the immigration thing, like my dad's

485
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.000
an immigrant, you know what I'm saying.

486
00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:34.279
I get it.

487
00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:36.559
I have friends that are immigrants. I grew up around nothing,

488
00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:40.079
but you know, people from Mexico. You know, I understand

489
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.640
That's what. It doesn't mean that we can enforce policy,

490
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:47.559
you know. And the reporting that is ignored to the

491
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.359
follow up is an issue. It really is. So it

492
00:24:51.400 --> 00:24:54.240
seems like, you know, we're we're looking at this from

493
00:24:54.279 --> 00:24:56.960
a common sense perspective or what we what used to

494
00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.240
be common sense. I'm not sure how common sense is anymore.

495
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:04.160
But let's let's touch on what you brought up earlier.

496
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:08.759
What's your take on this no king's protests? Because I thought,

497
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:11.680
I mean, we haven't had a king, you know, seventeen

498
00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:14.079
seventy six. I think, you know, just when we we

499
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.960
acknowledge that we would never have a king, right, I'm

500
00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:19.079
not really sure where they're coming from. I mean, because

501
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.799
they don't like policies that are put in place that

502
00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:25.519
they disagree with, that we suddenly have Donald Trump acting

503
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:26.160
as a king.

504
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:30.319
I would have more respect for the people that went

505
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.119
to the protest if they would just call it. I

506
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:37.720
hate Donald Trump protests. That's it, you know, that's it.

507
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.880
I mean, the I mean everything is face value. I mean,

508
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:43.279
if you take no kings and face value, that's what

509
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:46.200
you're looking at, right, Okay, so the protest isn't about

510
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:49.519
no kings. You don't have a king, you know, Burton King, right,

511
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:51.319
you know, we have the King of Rock, you know.

512
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:54.400
And yeah, it's it's silly. And like I said, I

513
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:56.640
would have more respect for them if they said, you know,

514
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.960
this is an I hate Donald Trump protest. Great fantastics.

515
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.640
You can get behind that. You know, you're spot on,

516
00:26:04.599 --> 00:26:07.720
you know, and it's just weird. I did. I crunched

517
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:12.200
the numbers yesterday and and actually, uh, my numbers were

518
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.799
kind of high because I went through this. I used Rock,

519
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.880
and I used the AI, used the chat GTP and

520
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:21.960
and basically, uh, GROC was pretty straightforward with that. I

521
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:24.599
love chat g TP. They does a lot of good

522
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:28.039
things for me. Uh But uh, now the A, now

523
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:30.119
that we have a I it's just another thing to

524
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:32.480
argue with, you know. So now I'm arguing with the computer,

525
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:36.519
all right, Right, part of it finally got it to

526
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.039
uh to uh to say what I wanted it to say.

527
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:40.920
But you can get anybody to say what you want

528
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:43.200
to say, right pretty much. But the fact of the

529
00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:45.799
matter is is that you had seven million people yesterday

530
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.599
that uh that attended these uh these rallies, and the

531
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:51.319
media is out there going like, oh, this is the

532
00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:57.039
biggest freaking protest American protests that ever happened. Fine, that's great.

533
00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:59.720
My my co host now for the Weather Report, Ken

534
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:05.079
Would He says that stuff moves the needle. The essence

535
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:07.920
of what was happening in the protest yesterday is that

536
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.319
the Democrats are on their back heels right now. They

537
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.400
need to get voters out. They need at least one

538
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:18.039
million new voters on the rolls to at least kind

539
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:23.160
of do some kind of swinging to change the midterm elections.

540
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.000
That's a tall order right now to get, especially in

541
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:31.240
the volatile environment that we have in the political spectrum. Yesterday,

542
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:35.039
like I said, they had seven million people. One point

543
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:38.079
nine people or one point nine million people were at

544
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:42.920
college football games yesterday. Another forty five million people were

545
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:47.599
watching from their homes or whatever platforms it is for

546
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:54.200
college football, whatever everybody else was doing. Beyond that seven

547
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:56.920
million people, which is one hundred and fifty five million

548
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.759
people who voted in the twenty twenty four election. That's

549
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:04.559
exactly that seven million people is a small small number.

550
00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:08.880
In fact, it's about six percent of the people that voted,

551
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:10.440
that voted.

552
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:12.759
And and let's let's look at this number, so three

553
00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:17.000
hundred and thirty million people population, and let's take voters

554
00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:18.799
out of it. And I'm not gonna I don't know

555
00:28:18.839 --> 00:28:20.720
what the actual number of people who are eligible to

556
00:28:20.799 --> 00:28:22.599
vote in terms of age and whatnot, but if you

557
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.039
just take it by population, that's just barely over a

558
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:26.079
little over two percent.

559
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:30.519
Yes, yeah, So that numbers mean something. That numbers mean something.

560
00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.160
It really does. And I think that in my in

561
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.839
my estimation, it was a huge it was a huge

562
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:41.039
protest good. It was a huge protest a failure by

563
00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:44.240
all me, I think, I really do. I don't think

564
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.279
it might have moved the needle, or it might have

565
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:48.799
made everybody in the you know, the progressives and the

566
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.680
and and the disgruntal Republicans that might have malt them,

567
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:54.200
made them feel good that they ran around with signs

568
00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:56.359
and everything and they were circle jerking whatever they wanted

569
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.839
to do, right, But to me, it was a it

570
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.440
was a huge failures are as a political movement. I

571
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.599
mean it didn't move me. No, it didn't.

572
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.720
And just like the last protests that they did, there's

573
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:11.599
no Kings. It's like they have to keep doing it

574
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:13.920
because it's apparently not effective.

575
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.359
I don't think.

576
00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.920
And if you've got lesson too or a roughly round

577
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:20.559
two percent or so of the population of the United

578
00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:24.279
States of America actually participating. And then also look at

579
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.000
let's look at the generation of people that are participating.

580
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:29.759
From what I see in videos, it's not younger people,

581
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:34.359
It really isn't, you know, Yeah, but you know, okay,

582
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.920
so your generation, let's just sabers. But regardless, you know

583
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:41.680
that in and of itself speaks volumes because it's it's

584
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:44.640
telling you that the future, the people who are going

585
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:50.079
to drive the future of this country are not bought in. No,

586
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:52.640
you know, it's a Saturday. You can't say that they're

587
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:54.440
all working and stressed out. You know a lot of

588
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.480
people have days off on Saturday. What was their excuse

589
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.599
for not showing up and supporting if this no King's

590
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:03.559
movement and is exactly what represents how people feel in America,

591
00:30:03.599 --> 00:30:04.519
because it fucking doesn't.

592
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:05.200
It just doesn't.

593
00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:07.880
Absolutely, you know, it's just a bunch of whining cuts

594
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:09.599
man just going out there trying to get attention.

595
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:12.720
That's all it is, exactly. And the and the culture

596
00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:15.960
shift also takes a lot a lot into uh consideration

597
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.400
when they're doing that. So you had you had the two,

598
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:22.880
You had the old people like us, the old hippies,

599
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:26.480
even even my parents. The older people than that. Those

600
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:28.599
are the ones that were out there. Probably a lot

601
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:31.160
of boomers were out there, of course, because there are

602
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.200
some people my age, like I said that, I know

603
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:36.359
that went to the to the rallies yesterday. And then

604
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:38.799
you've got the fringe Democrats that were out there. I

605
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:41.880
don't think that there was a lot of what I

606
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:47.480
want to say, you know, the people with people with

607
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.680
the bullnose rings. People will tell yeah, you know all

608
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:53.599
that they're out there screaming and hollering and certain kind

609
00:30:53.599 --> 00:30:55.920
of borders out there that are kind of cherry picking

610
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:58.720
who they're interviewing and going like, well, these people are dumb,

611
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.880
they don't even know what the hell they're here for it,

612
00:31:01.240 --> 00:31:04.279
and stuff like that. I think the movement had a

613
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:09.279
had an issue with with just the general base value

614
00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:11.599
of what it was, Like you said a bunch of

615
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.319
cry babies. I really think that it was a cry

616
00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:17.279
baby thing. We didn't win. Our king isn't in power

617
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:19.680
and your king is, and we're going to do everything

618
00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:21.599
that we can to get your king out of power

619
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.720
so our king can roll. But still in that fact,

620
00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:25.559
there's no king.

621
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.920
He was elected, and I agree, I mean, that's just

622
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:31.240
what it is. I mean, if he was a king,

623
00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:35.480
why can we still not get his nominees to be

624
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.680
approved and move forward? Like there's still hang ups on

625
00:31:37.720 --> 00:31:41.200
that he could just say, I don't care. These guys

626
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.160
are in that's it, you know. Why Why is there

627
00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:48.160
certain legislation that he approves or even through executive orders

628
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:50.480
that you know, people push back on or goes to

629
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:50.920
the courts.

630
00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:52.200
If he was king, we wouldn't have that.

631
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:53.720
If people just shut the hell up and just say,

632
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:55.400
all right, well that's what he said, you got to

633
00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:57.359
go with it. Yeah, you know, So there's all there's

634
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:00.480
Obviously he's obviously not a king. They just don't like that.

635
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.559
He's upset in the norm right and pushing back against

636
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:08.000
the system. Whether you agree with him or not doesn't matter,

637
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:11.480
but he's just stirring things up. The thing that you

638
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.880
said earlier is very true. Though, regardless of the cherry

639
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:17.519
picking of who they interview these people, most of these

640
00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:19.960
people that get behind these movements don't even know why

641
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:23.759
they're there. The fundamental reason that the snow kingsting is

642
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:25.440
even going on is exactly what you said. They just

643
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:26.200
hate Donald Trump.

644
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:30.759
Great. Allow me to introduce you to more Labs.

645
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:36.599
More Labs makes premium, super effective recovery drinks. It works

646
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:38.319
so good you're never going to reach for your favorite

647
00:32:38.319 --> 00:32:42.000
sports drink again. I'm gonna paint the picture here. Look,

648
00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:45.960
you went to a party, wedding, anniversary, birthday. But here's

649
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.160
the deal. This is what usually happens. And this is

650
00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:49.839
where I've been I know a lot of us have

651
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:52.599
been there. You had a bad day at work, it's

652
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.759
a Tuesday, You go out, you throw a few back,

653
00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:58.839
but he had way too many. You guys would have

654
00:32:58.839 --> 00:33:00.599
worked next morning. You just can't call sick. You've got

681
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:27.199
Okay, so I just had this. I just had a

682
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:30.800
record an episode yesterday or before.

683
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.679
We did our so the day before with Phil more

684
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:38.559
Yellow and he's the host of California Underground, and so.

685
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:39.639
We talked Prop fifty.

686
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:43.440
And when we're talking about Prop fifty, you know, and

687
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.599
you're in California, so you know, very relevant to you.

688
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:50.480
We discussed the reasoning behind it, what the intent is,

689
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:54.719
the truth and the consequences. And one of the things

690
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:56.800
I stood out is what he experienced what I experienced,

691
00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.760
which is relating to what you just said by them,

692
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.800
I'm I'm getting there. You know what it is is

693
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:04.360
people don't know why they even support Prop fifty. I've

694
00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:07.719
had this conversation with friends the other night and they're

695
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:10.639
bringing it up because they've discovered my podcast. So now

696
00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:13.480
it's like, and I appreciate it. I do that I

697
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:18.599
get the support from them. But what happens is I

698
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:21.079
started asking the question, Okay, great, let's get down to

699
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:24.719
the root of it. Why do you support it? They

700
00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:28.039
don't even really know. They just know, well, you know,

701
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.920
Texas did this and Republicans and you know that's not right,

702
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.519
and so okay, but you know the thing with Texas

703
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.000
is that was actually a court order mandate that was

704
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.719
actually put off for years that they're being forced to

705
00:35:39.719 --> 00:35:41.960
do regardless because when they tried to do it earlier,

706
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.320
the courts found it. I think it was a two

707
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.440
thousand and it might be off three want somewhere in there. Anyway,

708
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:49.519
when they tried to do it a long time ago

709
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.800
thirteen I can't recall pers but anyway, people you can

710
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:54.679
look it up. When they try to do it before

711
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:57.719
the courts found that it was illegal, it wasn't right, Like,

712
00:35:57.719 --> 00:35:59.280
hold on, what are you guys trying to do? So

713
00:35:59.320 --> 00:36:01.519
they got involved and they're like no, no, no, you

714
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:04.079
have to readjust all this. So here we are and

715
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:06.440
this is what Texas is going through. And then you

716
00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:10.000
got Gavin Newsom, who's nothing more than I mean, he's

717
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:14.079
just a little dictator himself. Absolutely yeah, he's a funck

718
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:14.599
trd dude.

719
00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:14.880
Really.

720
00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:18.719
So the thing with Newsom is he's just he hates

721
00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:20.639
Trump too, That's all it is. He's he's running for

722
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:23.400
president without even saying it or acknowledge. He's been doing

723
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:26.880
it for years. And this whole thing, as you know,

724
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:31.719
is nothing more than an attempt to keep Democrats in power. Absolutely,

725
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:34.760
we have what I don't know. If I don't know

726
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:37.039
if we have the most delegates, you correct me on that.

727
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:38.599
Do we have the most delegates?

728
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:40.280
I'm not sure if we have the most delegates. I

729
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:41.840
know that we have a huge amount of delegates. We

730
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:44.239
have a lot. Fact, we have a lot. I should

731
00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.280
know that. I should know that as long as our

732
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:50.239
personal you know, our population dictates that we have a

733
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.960
lot of delegates.

734
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:54.079
Yeah, but anyway we have we have where the state

735
00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:56.920
that matters when it comes to voting for the president period,

736
00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:59.639
and we do sway the vote quite a bit due

737
00:36:59.679 --> 00:37:01.719
to themount of delegates we have. So this whole thing

738
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.599
with fifty is doing nothing more to ensure that the

739
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:08.480
future of the presidency is tilted much more in the

740
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:11.880
favor of the Democrat Party. And so people are saying, well,

741
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:14.800
I oppose Prop fifty because I oppose what Donald Trump's

742
00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.320
administration is doing. Well, it's not Donald Trump that is

743
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:23.199
telling everybody to redistrict. We redistrict every ten years unless

744
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:24.440
there's a special circumstance.

745
00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:24.719
Right.

746
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:29.239
So the thing with this, what's going on with California

747
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.440
and them trying to do this, is just trying to

748
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:35.440
ensure that they remain in control or that they can

749
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.000
grab control on the presidency. But what people don't understand

750
00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:40.639
is if you hate Donald Trump and you think this

751
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:42.519
is a good reason to do this, you're also ignoring

752
00:37:42.599 --> 00:37:45.320
the future of California, though you're not looking at it

753
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:48.000
from that view, because as we move forward, look, conservatives

754
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:52.079
are already underrepresented in California as it is, and the

755
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:56.079
argument from the California government, more from Newsome and his cronies,

756
00:37:56.159 --> 00:37:58.119
is well, it's going to go back in twenty thirty.

757
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.559
Okay, so from from.

758
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.000
Twenty six on to twenty thirty is supposed to go

759
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:06.800
back with that does kind of conveniently line back up

760
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:10.719
with when we're supposed to redistrict anyway. So and then

761
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:12.800
at the same time, it's like we've never seen anywhere

762
00:38:12.800 --> 00:38:15.199
in history. We're in government where if we give them

763
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:18.679
a little to give it back. So people are not

764
00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:21.079
not seeing the whole picture here. I don't know what

765
00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:23.440
your opinion is on Prop fifty, but you know, I

766
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.199
did have that conversation, so I thought i'd bring it

767
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:26.280
up and see what you think.

768
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:29.519
Yeah, Well, Proposition fifty, which I've already voted on, I

769
00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.039
turned in my mail in ballot, you know, because you know,

770
00:38:32.199 --> 00:38:34.880
that's just why I do it. To me, this little

771
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:38.079
special election, mail it in. They can just do it,

772
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:41.159
and I did so, you know, I vote no on

773
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:45.199
everything anyway, so it just doesn't matter. But whatever the

774
00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:52.360
case may be. No, But Proposition fifty is a like

775
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.800
you said, it's a ploy to be able to bolster

776
00:38:55.840 --> 00:38:59.960
the Democratic Party into just keeping their power in California.

777
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.760
As as long as I remember, Democrats have been in

778
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:07.440
power since about the time you know, just before you know,

779
00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:11.599
when Duke Major and all those people were in power there,

780
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:16.599
and the Assembly of California has been Democratic since then,

781
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:19.960
even during the orned Soursenager years. We have to stay

782
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:22.599
wrong a strong Democratic presence, and now they have a

783
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:26.800
super majority, they want to keep that supermajority. Twenty ten,

784
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.840
we voted the fact that we wanted an independent citizen

785
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:33.440
Council to go ahead do districting in California. I think

786
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:35.199
it's a slap in the face of the people in

787
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.079
California to be able to be in support of something

788
00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:41.800
where a political party and Assembly can take control of

789
00:39:41.840 --> 00:39:46.119
those districts and be able to rewrite them as whenever

790
00:39:46.119 --> 00:39:48.079
they want to. Because every ten years we have to

791
00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:55.559
anyway by census. I think disenfranchises the people that are

792
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:59.039
in the redder parts of more conservative parts of California

793
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.760
because they're you know, as much as the bedroom Like

794
00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:06.840
I live in Gilroy, so it's a bedroom community. It

795
00:40:06.880 --> 00:40:10.840
extends out to here, you know, the districting extends out here,

796
00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:14.239
but it even extends out past that, and it goes

797
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:17.480
out into the Central Valley and to the agricultural places

798
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:19.800
and stuff where people seem to be a little bit

799
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:23.960
more conservative than liberal. And I think it's a travesty.

800
00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:27.480
I think it's a bad move for California. But California

801
00:40:27.559 --> 00:40:30.440
is used to making bad moves. I mean that's just

802
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:32.920
the way it is. The Democrats have a stronghold. They

803
00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:35.920
don't want conservatives here. They want us all out, which

804
00:40:36.000 --> 00:40:37.960
is fine. I say, Frea can move out and let

805
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.880
the damn places burn down their ground. But I love California.

806
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.719
I mean, I was born and raised here. I'm not

807
00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.400
ready to give up yet, and I'm gonna sit around

808
00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:48.400
and see what happens, whether it kills me or whether

809
00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:50.880
I prosper from it. Yeah.

810
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:55.519
The redistricting thing that peoplen't understand is it's not just

811
00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:57.519
moving the lines, you know, and people don't understand what

812
00:40:57.760 --> 00:41:01.360
the differences between redistricting and jerrymandering, which is exactly what

813
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:05.400
they're intending to do and what this is gonna do.

814
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:07.960
I'm I'm gonna give an example, Like we know you

815
00:41:08.039 --> 00:41:10.639
may know that like District three and five in California,

816
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:15.239
which is roughly as you said, Central Valley, is conservative.

817
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:18.920
But in this redistricting, what may even happen is they'll

818
00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:22.760
combine three and five into one district, which dilutes its

819
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:25.760
power when it comes to voting for issues in California.

820
00:41:26.559 --> 00:41:29.760
Another tactic they will use is they might take some

821
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:34.079
Democrats from this district move it over to another one,

822
00:41:34.480 --> 00:41:37.960
so also further diluting the voting power and consensus of

823
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.000
a district that may have been read but now we're

824
00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.880
looking at it being purple. So they know what they're

825
00:41:42.920 --> 00:41:45.800
doing and what they're trying to do. There's even conservative

826
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:48.880
districts up in far North when she gets starting up

827
00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:51.400
into the Napa area and past that they're trying to

828
00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:54.920
rope into a more democratic district now, which is what

829
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:57.639
they're trying to trying to do. So yeah, they're pretty

830
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:04.679
much screwing California over yeah, and that's what people aren't seeing, like, Okay, cool,

831
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:06.559
you hate Donald Trump, you don't want to you don't

832
00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:09.960
want to have a Republican president going forward, whatever. But

833
00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:11.920
the reality is you got to look at, as a

834
00:42:11.920 --> 00:42:14.440
resident of California, what it's gonna do for California moving forward.

835
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:17.440
And if that's the precedent in that, while you can

836
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:20.400
screw conservatives of California over if it ever flips the

837
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.480
other way, you've already put into place school now you're

838
00:42:23.480 --> 00:42:25.119
on the other side of it, and you're gonna be

839
00:42:25.199 --> 00:42:29.400
crying about how you're not represented. So that's what people

840
00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:31.360
are not understanding. You know, it's not you can't just

841
00:42:31.400 --> 00:42:33.840
have this knee jerk reaction to like I hate Donald Trump,

842
00:42:33.840 --> 00:42:35.840
so fuck Cam and I'm not gonna okay, great, but

843
00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.880
there's other ways to approach that. But you're given your

844
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:42.159
rights away right now. And while you may be benefiting

845
00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:44.199
from it now because you have the supermajority, in the

846
00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:47.440
future California is gonna be screwed because you already put

847
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:51.800
into place what is acceptable and when it becomes fully Republican,

848
00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:54.119
for example, they're gonna run with that. And there's nothing

849
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:55.880
you could do with it, they'll just go, oh yeah,

850
00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:57.679
but you know matter twenty twenty five.

851
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:01.880
So it'll never see to amaze me the stupidity of

852
00:43:01.920 --> 00:43:03.559
the political parties.

853
00:43:04.280 --> 00:43:07.039
And again, you know, it comes down, uh to the

854
00:43:07.079 --> 00:43:09.679
average persons. I hate I hate calling people stupid cause

855
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:11.639
I don't think they are. I just think they don't.

856
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:13.599
They don't want to be bothered or so overwhelmed with

857
00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:17.079
their daily routines that they just don't have time. Point

858
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:18.639
in case, you know, I go on threads once in

859
00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:21.400
a while, which I recommend you don't. It's it's accessful,

860
00:43:21.679 --> 00:43:23.639
But I go on threads once in a while. And

861
00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:25.639
what I'll do is I will go down the rabbit

862
00:43:25.679 --> 00:43:28.199
hole of arguing with people just for entertainment. And I

863
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:29.440
don't do it all the time, but every once while

864
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:31.599
I get in the mood. And what I did is

865
00:43:31.639 --> 00:43:33.480
I typed in Prop fifty just to see what people

866
00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:37.800
are thinking on that side. And almost everybody that was

867
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.320
talking about it was referring to the advertisements that they

868
00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:40.800
were seeing.

869
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:42.079
Oh god, it's terrible.

870
00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:44.639
I'm like, hold on your Your entire basis for how

871
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:46.679
you're going to vote is based on the advertisement you

872
00:43:46.719 --> 00:43:47.159
agree with.

873
00:43:47.599 --> 00:43:50.920
It's terrible that is so terrible. It's terrible. That's the problem.

874
00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:52.679
I mean, if you want to flip something real quick,

875
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.719
let's go to Prop A, which is the California thing

876
00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:58.920
where you know we got we lost the federal funding

877
00:43:58.960 --> 00:44:04.760
to the hospitals and up and the the the advertisement

878
00:44:04.760 --> 00:44:07.519
I saw the other day because I know I stream

879
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:10.840
everything is now that they're they're looking at. Okay, so

880
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:13.199
now first responders are going to be affected by by

881
00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:15.199
PROPE all of a sudden, You're not going to get

882
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:17.119
cops that are going to be coming to crimes that

883
00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:20.679
are they're happening here. The cops already don't come to

884
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:24.280
the crime set. And the problem with crime is is

885
00:44:24.320 --> 00:44:27.079
that you know, you can do all you want to

886
00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:29.480
to get first responders going to where they want to be,

887
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.280
whether that be cops or whether it be fire department,

888
00:44:32.280 --> 00:44:35.000
whether it be the e mpts or whatever. The fact

889
00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:38.519
of the matter is that you still have the the

890
00:44:38.559 --> 00:44:41.280
other side, the hospitals and everything that are involved in

891
00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:44.440
this is the federal funding being cut for Medicaid and

892
00:44:44.559 --> 00:44:48.920
places like that gonna kind of affect uh, small town hospitals.

893
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.400
It's going to federal funding is going to affect everything

894
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:56.960
But what head of the snake do you chop to

895
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.960
make sure that everything is right across the board. With

896
00:45:01.079 --> 00:45:05.159
federal funding for all of these programs, we can't sustain

897
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.960
the programs that we got because they keep they keep

898
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:12.440
just either taxing us to death or or and if

899
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.480
they can't tax us to death, they keep creating more money,

900
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:19.760
and it just dilutes our money, It dilutes our buying power. Now,

901
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:22.360
the fact that this PROPA is going through in California,

902
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.440
and who knows whether it's going to go through or not,

903
00:45:24.519 --> 00:45:26.840
I got I got a bad feeling because you know,

904
00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:29.639
a Democrat held a state that you know they're going

905
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:32.159
to pass this thing. That's fine, you know, my property

906
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:34.159
taxes are going to go up, or some kind of

907
00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:36.840
sales tax is going to be be brought in. But

908
00:45:36.960 --> 00:45:39.559
the problem with all of this stuff happens to be

909
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:42.440
with the execution of the laws that are already done.

910
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:45.079
Like you said, we circle back to the immigration stuff.

911
00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:48.280
We have a crime We have a crime problem here

912
00:45:48.639 --> 00:45:52.519
in the bigger cities. The problem is is that they

913
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:54.880
can arrest them all. That's fine, but they let them

914
00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:57.880
out so there's no there's no follow up to that.

915
00:45:57.960 --> 00:46:01.480
There's no real punishment. Yeah, yeah, exactly, And prope is

916
00:46:01.519 --> 00:46:03.400
not going to prope is not going to solve that,

917
00:46:03.960 --> 00:46:07.639
you know, and redistricting isn't going to solve that. You know,

918
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:09.519
none of that's going to solve that. It's got it's

919
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:11.000
got to be a it's got to be on the

920
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:14.800
local level. Can Can, my my co host on the

921
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:18.119
Weather Report, says that all the time, you've got to

922
00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:20.159
be involved in the local level. You've got to be

923
00:46:20.199 --> 00:46:22.800
able to get into your your city council medium. So

924
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:25.920
a lot of people don't go I go at least uh,

925
00:46:26.039 --> 00:46:28.800
at least once every couple of months, I'll go, uh.

926
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:33.840
And it's amazing how many how many people just don't

927
00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:37.280
care what goes on in your city council. And there's

928
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.519
a lot of things that just get passed by. It's

929
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:42.639
because there's no support for anybody. There's no there's no

930
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:46.800
public outcry for anything to change. So nothing changes because

931
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:49.719
you've elected these people. You don't even know, whether it

932
00:46:49.800 --> 00:46:52.519
be a panel of six, nine to twelve people in

933
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:54.559
your city council, you don't know them. You just kind

934
00:46:54.559 --> 00:46:56.599
of go like, Okay, well this one that's been in

935
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:58.880
for a while, maybe I just want a new face.

936
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:02.119
They don't know you, just check boxes and they don't

937
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:04.119
do any campaigning. They don't come to your door and

938
00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:06.239
knock on your door. I haven't had one city council

939
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.760
person come and knock on my door. So the best

940
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:10.760
thing that you can do is either get involved in

941
00:47:10.800 --> 00:47:13.719
your community, get involved in your city council meeting, and

942
00:47:13.800 --> 00:47:16.320
get involved on the local level and run for your

943
00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:18.559
like your your first step up, which is like the

944
00:47:18.599 --> 00:47:21.519
school boards and stuff like that. It's terrible from what

945
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:23.880
you see out there. And I urge people that if

946
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:26.079
you want change, you have to go out there and

947
00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:27.039
do it on a local level.

948
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:33.840
Yeah, agreed. So I've always said this that pressure comes

949
00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:36.760
from the bottom. It's bottom up, it's not top down.

950
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.840
And I've actually I've actually had this discussion, uh with

951
00:47:41.079 --> 00:47:42.920
a local politician in my area, and I actually had

952
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.039
him on the show one of the early interviews, and

953
00:47:46.199 --> 00:47:48.000
it wasn't my greatest I could have pushed on him

954
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:50.480
a lot more, trust me, but the reality is he

955
00:47:50.480 --> 00:47:52.599
didn't agree with that. He's like, well, it does that's

956
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:55.239
not true. You know, you know the top, it works

957
00:47:55.280 --> 00:47:57.480
from the top, And then you know, I'm like, no, dude,

958
00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:01.039
you're not seeing that. The foundational is the majority of

959
00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:03.480
the people. If the majority of the people band together and

960
00:48:03.559 --> 00:48:05.320
tell you know, you're gonna do it this way, you're

961
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:06.360
gonna be forced to change.

962
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:07.280
That's just how it works.

963
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:12.280
So people just don't understand that they do have more

964
00:48:12.280 --> 00:48:14.400
power than they think. But what you said is correct.

965
00:48:14.400 --> 00:48:16.920
They're not getting involved. And what you're talking about with

966
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:20.519
police response, yeah, I've seen it. You know, are they

967
00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:22.639
responding in Oakland? I mean I hate doing it. If

968
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:24.119
I get a job in Oakland, I do not like

969
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:24.559
going there.

970
00:48:24.920 --> 00:48:25.119
You know.

971
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:27.239
I don't like Stockton. I don't do Stockton. Baker's Field

972
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:29.039
is another one I don't like, although that's that's more

973
00:48:29.440 --> 00:48:33.599
conservative out there. But still it's just just some areas

974
00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:35.880
in California where I'm like, I'm just gonnavoid San Francisco.

975
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.280
Don't like going there anymore now, I just won't. You know,

976
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.840
there's pockets where it's very evident the police do not

977
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:44.480
respond or in force. But you know, we're when you

978
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:48.159
were just talking about federal funding as far as it

979
00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:50.800
being applied or taken away from from like police or

980
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:54.800
hospitals or whatnot. Let me ask this question, how is

981
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:59.039
the federal government responsible for it. When this is something

982
00:48:59.079 --> 00:49:01.360
that is managed at the local level, I mean it's

983
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:03.960
it's the policy's put in place by local government that

984
00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:07.239
got you here. When it comes to hospitals, do we

985
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:09.679
really need federal funding? I mean, let's let's be honest.

986
00:49:09.679 --> 00:49:13.480
Obamacare screwed the industry. All it was was a was

987
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:17.320
a attempt to price fix the industry. Lord, No, I

988
00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:19.519
can't prove it, but who knows who got whatever kickbacks

989
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:23.079
from this whole deal? And now it got from where

990
00:49:23.079 --> 00:49:25.280
I remember, I can get insurance for a certain price

991
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:27.519
that was affordable to like No matter what you do,

992
00:49:27.719 --> 00:49:30.440
here's your price across the board, and the only people

993
00:49:30.480 --> 00:49:33.159
who benefit from it are those who literally are on

994
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:36.960
the edge or below poverty level. Everyone else, this is

995
00:49:37.000 --> 00:49:37.719
your price.

996
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:41.679
And it's designed. It's designed. It's designed to be that way.

997
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:43.639
It was a totally All you got to do is

998
00:49:43.679 --> 00:49:45.800
follow the money. I mean, if you sit back there

999
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:48.519
and now, it's easier than anything to follow the money

1000
00:49:48.559 --> 00:49:51.280
you've got. You've got several websites out there that have

1001
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:54.039
their pulse on the finger of federal spending and who

1002
00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.760
who gets what from where? You know, we can talk

1003
00:49:56.800 --> 00:50:00.000
about any politician you want to. They're all funded by somebody.

1004
00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:05.159
Even somebody is as saintly as Thomas Massey is still

1005
00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.280
getting federal funding and stuff like that. So you know,

1006
00:50:08.320 --> 00:50:09.119
we can go there.

1007
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:11.559
All day, we can go down the donor rabbit hole.

1008
00:50:11.719 --> 00:50:15.400
Yeah exactly. But all you got to do is follow

1009
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:18.920
the money. Do I think that that uh that uh

1010
00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:23.119
uh county hospitals or rural hospitals should be federally funded?

1011
00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:23.320
Oh?

1012
00:50:23.480 --> 00:50:26.559
I don't think so at all. Me as being a

1013
00:50:26.599 --> 00:50:29.400
taxpayer in California is different than me being a tax

1014
00:50:29.920 --> 00:50:34.159
payer for for the federal government. Uh. We we vote

1015
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:36.480
on our taxes here in California, and if we don't

1016
00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:39.119
vote the right way, well then the legislature just passes

1017
00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:40.320
it anyway. So I mean.

1018
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:45.079
I didn't vote for the additional gas taxes that they're imposed.

1019
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:48.960
No, but but yeah, Governor News just decided that that

1020
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:49.239
was just.

1021
00:50:50.960 --> 00:50:53.280
The government body or board that decided, hey, you know,

1022
00:50:53.360 --> 00:50:56.320
due to environmental whatever, we're going to add another percentage.

1023
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:58.519
I don't vote on that, Yeah, So I think So,

1024
00:50:58.559 --> 00:51:00.480
I think really what it comes down to is this

1025
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:02.760
is just a great big bitch fest for everybody to

1026
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.519
you know, kind of throw their matches into the fire

1027
00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:08.280
and say, you know it's bad that you know, federal

1028
00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:12.719
funding is being stripped away from from this, and Medicare

1029
00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:15.559
is getting stripped away from that, and Social Security is

1030
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:19.119
getting taxed for this and everything. It's a ship show,

1031
00:51:19.280 --> 00:51:22.599
I mean, just to just to bluntly and for the

1032
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:26.119
federal government to step in here and and uh, you know,

1033
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:29.039
uh Trump to go ahead and start slashing with with

1034
00:51:29.480 --> 00:51:32.480
Elon Musk and Doze and the department that we've always

1035
00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:36.760
had dose has always been there, regardless of what has

1036
00:51:36.800 --> 00:51:41.320
always been there. And but this is a this is

1037
00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:43.760
a this is a thing that needed to be done.

1038
00:51:44.039 --> 00:51:47.800
And I think to me, if you would cut fifteen

1039
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:54.320
percent across all all UH programs across the board, what lives, lives,

1040
00:51:54.320 --> 00:51:58.239
what dies dies is what I think is fair and honorable.

1041
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:00.000
Do I think that we should close all these parts?

1042
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:04.480
Meant oh yeah, absolutely, Department of Education, Department of Transportation,

1043
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:08.880
all these all these money makers that have all these

1044
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:13.679
contracts and stuff to their preferred people, you know, unions

1045
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:15.480
and stuff like that. Not the union guy. You know,

1046
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:17.360
I like unions. I think unions are good. I think

1047
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:22.119
public sector or the public unions, you know, the federal

1048
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:26.199
unions are atrocious. But that being said, like I said,

1049
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:29.639
you know, then, like I said, I refer to him

1050
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:32.199
a lot, you know, in the in the weather report,

1051
00:52:32.519 --> 00:52:34.719
he thinks that it should be fifty percent across the board.

1052
00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:38.239
Just slash everything all the way across the board, and

1053
00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:43.079
that's kind of high. I was, yeah, but you yeah,

1054
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:46.119
but there's a whole bust a bunch of us social

1055
00:52:46.199 --> 00:52:48.599
safety nets that are out there that don't need to

1056
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.639
be there because what people what happens is is people

1057
00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:53.840
get dependent on this stuff. It's like, you know, don't

1058
00:52:53.840 --> 00:52:57.000
feed the don't feed the animals at the zoo, because

1059
00:52:57.000 --> 00:53:00.400
then they get used to you know, the people food. Right.

1060
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:03.320
You know, that's the point that right there, what you

1061
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:07.760
said is exactly it. We created this. Yes, you know,

1062
00:53:07.760 --> 00:53:11.199
people became dependent because we were letting them become dependent

1063
00:53:11.239 --> 00:53:13.760
on it. I want to I want to clarify something

1064
00:53:13.760 --> 00:53:15.760
because I just realized that what I said about the hospitals,

1065
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:17.440
people were to give me crap about and say, oh,

1066
00:53:17.639 --> 00:53:19.960
you know, you have no heart, No people would I

1067
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:21.840
wanted to. I want to explain that a little bit,

1068
00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:24.920
what I said about pulling funding from hospitals because after

1069
00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:28.360
Obamacare and everything else happened in the insurance industry.

1070
00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:29.480
I'm just going to give you a story.

1071
00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:32.039
I remember when my brother got a major accident where

1072
00:53:32.039 --> 00:53:34.119
he rolled his car the whole bit and this this was,

1073
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:36.760
oh man, this was years ago. But even then things

1074
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:40.199
were exorbitant. And there's no reason you could tell me

1075
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:45.119
a box of bandages band aids cost five thousand dollars, right, Okay,

1076
00:53:45.480 --> 00:53:48.880
the medical industry needs to needs to be looked into,

1077
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:50.599
and they need to be torn apart, and they need

1078
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:55.159
to be regulated because your medication shouldn't cost what they are.

1079
00:53:55.239 --> 00:53:57.199
But that has more to do with how they regulate

1080
00:53:58.000 --> 00:54:00.519
the drugs and whatnot. And you know, we're flipping the

1081
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:01.880
bill for most of the world when it comes to

1082
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:04.000
the percentage of how much we pay versus like you know,

1083
00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:07.360
the people in Europe or candidate, et cetera. But when

1084
00:54:07.400 --> 00:54:11.039
it comes to the hospitals, like is this surgery, a

1085
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:15.599
certain surgery really worth thirty thousand dollars? Is it thirty thousand?

1086
00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:17.760
Is it really worth fifty thousand? You know, why is

1087
00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:21.199
my cancer medication? You know, thank god, I'm not I

1088
00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:24.159
don't have cancer, But why is cancer medication twenty thousand

1089
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:28.400
and fifty thousand per like, why that doesn't make any sense.

1090
00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:33.079
Why advantages being built up five thousand dollars doesn't make

1091
00:54:33.079 --> 00:54:37.400
any sense. So while hospitals can cry and scream, you know,

1092
00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:40.599
they are charging, they are getting their money. What they

1093
00:54:40.639 --> 00:54:43.559
don't like is they're not going to be federally subsidized

1094
00:54:44.039 --> 00:54:46.840
when someone walks and doesn't pay the bill. And a

1095
00:54:46.880 --> 00:54:49.480
lot of that is from people who don't have insurance,

1096
00:54:49.480 --> 00:54:52.480
who are not necessarily the working class, you know, it's

1097
00:54:52.519 --> 00:54:55.039
the people that were relying on these programs, as you

1098
00:54:55.039 --> 00:54:58.239
said earlier. So this, this is going to be painful,

1099
00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.760
but I think we need to have this rese set

1100
00:55:01.039 --> 00:55:01.559
we needed.

1101
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:07.119
They need to be more responsible for the things that

1102
00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:11.119
they want. So I decided to move to go Roy, California.

1103
00:55:11.599 --> 00:55:13.639
I had no idea that we had an hospital that

1104
00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:15.880
we have Saint Louis, which is which is now a

1105
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:19.559
part of the Santa Clairic Health System.

1106
00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:22.239
Now, so don't you guys, I mean you got a

1107
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.440
kaiser also in morgan HILLO, right, I think it's in morgan.

1108
00:55:25.280 --> 00:55:27.480
Hill, or we have a Kaiser here in Gilroy. It's

1109
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:30.119
it's a close yeah, so it's it's it's not a

1110
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:32.960
hospital but uh, you know, make a long story short,

1111
00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:36.000
I had a I had a I had an emergency

1112
00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:38.679
in appendectomy a couple of years ago in which they

1113
00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:42.320
had to come get me by by ambulance and take

1114
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:44.199
me all the way to Santa the which is forty

1115
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:47.400
five minutes away. I shouldn't be here. There's a couple

1116
00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:49.840
of times I shouldn't have been here. But the fact

1117
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:52.280
of the matter is is that is that they couldn't

1118
00:55:52.320 --> 00:55:54.519
take me to Saint Louis because of course, you know,

1119
00:55:54.599 --> 00:55:57.559
I had Kaiser insurance, so they had to get me

1120
00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:02.840
up there. I I just think I'm all into about

1121
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:05.639
the temp Amendment. I'm into states rights, but I think

1122
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:10.400
states have gotten used to sucking off of the government

1123
00:56:10.440 --> 00:56:13.920
tit and you know, and I think it's wrong. I

1124
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:17.920
think that in some ways, and I hate to say this,

1125
00:56:18.360 --> 00:56:21.159
that you know, Governor's right. I mean, you know, Governor

1126
00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:24.360
Newsom is right to be rebelling against Trump on a

1127
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:26.639
lot of stuff that Trump is trying to do federally

1128
00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:30.360
within California, because I think that, you know, California is

1129
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:33.320
a sovereign state. Every state is a sovereign state. Every

1130
00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:37.039
state is the sovereign country, and we decided to come

1131
00:56:37.079 --> 00:56:39.000
together as a union to be able to defend our

1132
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:41.760
borders against you know, enemies and stuff like that. But

1133
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:46.000
we're still sovereign states within itself, and the federal government

1134
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:48.400
ought to do what the federal government was supposed to do,

1135
00:56:48.760 --> 00:56:52.480
and states need to do with states what their citizens

1136
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:55.199
want them to do. And whether or not the Democrats

1137
00:56:55.239 --> 00:56:58.639
want to fund hospitals and abortions and stuff like that

1138
00:56:58.400 --> 00:57:02.760
with my tax money is only my decision by vote.

1139
00:57:02.920 --> 00:57:06.679
It's a it's actually it actually states are democracy and

1140
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:10.280
then the whole of the United States is a constitutional

1141
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:13.800
republic because that's what we decided to do. Because you know,

1142
00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:16.400
as you know, and you being in California here too,

1143
00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:19.400
when we vote in California, you know, the majority wins.

1144
00:57:19.599 --> 00:57:22.760
That's what it is. It doesn't matter whether San Francisco

1145
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:25.960
is a huge voting block and that Los Angeles County

1146
00:57:26.039 --> 00:57:29.440
is the biggest voting block of of any country or

1147
00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:32.719
any state. You know, the majority wins, and that's why

1148
00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:36.320
we have this democratic uh supermajority here. But the fact

1149
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:39.039
of the matter is is that states ought to be

1150
00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:41.480
able to fund what they need to fund to share

1151
00:57:41.559 --> 00:57:44.199
within their own state, and the federal government. It's a

1152
00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.119
state as much as it is possible.

1153
00:57:46.519 --> 00:57:49.760
But using their own damn money, using their own money. Yeah, right,

1154
00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:53.320
if and here's here's the caveat to that. If if

1155
00:57:53.360 --> 00:57:58.320
states states need to get back to statehood, correct, but

1156
00:57:58.400 --> 00:58:01.000
then you should also reject all federal funding. If that's

1157
00:58:01.039 --> 00:58:04.880
going to be your stance, you need to manage yourself.

1158
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:07.280
It's it's it's it's a slippery slope. I'm just saying

1159
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:09.400
because we're what are we supposed to be the fourth

1160
00:58:09.440 --> 00:58:11.440
largest largest economy in the world as he likes to,

1161
00:58:11.679 --> 00:58:14.039
you know, brag about. Well, if we're making so much

1162
00:58:14.079 --> 00:58:16.440
money and you're raping us so much in taxes, why

1163
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:19.719
are you even accepting federal funding for anything? Then absolutely,

1164
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:22.760
absolutely no reason for it. I agree that no reason

1165
00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:24.599
for it. And here's the thing that we need to

1166
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:26.320
get back to. I think some of these states and

1167
00:58:26.320 --> 00:58:29.760
these governors also need to realize that you are a

1168
00:58:29.800 --> 00:58:32.639
member state of the United States of America, and so

1169
00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:35.840
what what And this leads to like what what people

1170
00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:38.840
were talking about with the National Guard, right and we

1171
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:41.000
and we we can argue whether or not how Trump

1172
00:58:41.000 --> 00:58:44.679
is handling it that is constitutional or not. Uh, but

1173
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:47.840
what I My take on that is, if if you're

1174
00:58:47.840 --> 00:58:50.400
going outside the union and opposing the union, and you're

1175
00:58:50.440 --> 00:58:53.119
no longer aligning with the Union, at what point does

1176
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:55.519
the federal government not say, hold on, guys, you're no

1177
00:58:55.559 --> 00:59:00.320
longer representing what this entire nation stands for right now.

1178
00:59:00.679 --> 00:59:05.119
I'm not saying march in with troops, but federally, if

1179
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:08.000
we're all supposed to come together as a United States,

1180
00:59:08.119 --> 00:59:10.039
and we have a certain direction, a way of things

1181
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:13.519
that we that we that we believe, and we're supposed

1182
00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:15.519
to move forward in one direction as a country, and

1183
00:59:15.519 --> 00:59:18.079
that you have a state over here who wants to

1184
00:59:18.119 --> 00:59:20.039
act like they don't belong to the Union. They could

1185
00:59:20.039 --> 00:59:23.199
do whatever they want outside of what is written and

1186
00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:25.880
not not actually, you know, adhering to the you know,

1187
00:59:26.159 --> 00:59:28.119
or actually what I'm trying to say is, you know,

1188
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.960
stay within the guardrails of what makes up the United

1189
00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:35.880
States of America. Then does the federal government not have

1190
00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:38.679
a right to check in on them, say hey, guys,

1191
00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:39.559
what are you doing over here.

1192
00:59:40.760 --> 00:59:45.119
Let's take Portland as as our example, because Portland is

1193
00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:47.840
the ship show of the world. Man, they have surve

1194
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:53.480
pass California. Stuff that is in every aspect right about

1195
00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:59.880
sending in the National Guard Portland and protecting federal interests. Yes,

1196
01:00:00.239 --> 01:00:03.039
the ice facility. In fact, I think that they should

1197
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:07.039
have a perimeter around the ice facility way bigger than

1198
01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:10.840
it is because right now they're still blocking the streets

1199
01:00:10.960 --> 01:00:15.280
entering the ice facility and stuff like that. Anybody who

1200
01:00:15.320 --> 01:00:19.000
is attacking that, anybody who is is deterring traffic going

1201
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:21.599
in and out, ought to be rounded up like soilent

1202
01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:25.079
green with scoops and everything and just taken away. I

1203
01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:28.480
mean that that is my honest opinion about that whole thing,

1204
01:00:28.679 --> 01:00:29.960
whether it be peaceful or not.

1205
01:00:31.239 --> 01:00:33.719
Do you agree that the local police should be handling

1206
01:00:33.719 --> 01:00:34.599
that though, because.

1207
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:39.159
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, But they don't because they're all read

1208
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:42.239
from you know what Portland has become over the years

1209
01:00:42.239 --> 01:00:45.079
and decades that it has become. Portland has been its

1210
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:48.199
own little kind of city or city state within the

1211
01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:51.360
state for decades. I mean, they were the first to

1212
01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:54.039
bring in, you know, public transit there, They've got this,

1213
01:00:54.159 --> 01:00:56.119
you know, they got a great system going. I've been

1214
01:00:56.159 --> 01:00:59.280
to Portland. Portland's a beautiful town. It's this one little

1215
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:02.760
section of Portland right now there's just a ship show

1216
01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:05.559
and and it kind of moves around. It wasn't it

1217
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:08.199
was in downtown, and now it's moved to the ice facility,

1218
01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:11.320
and and you know, it's just one of these things

1219
01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:14.400
that you've got. It's like when you have a major

1220
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:17.559
flood somewhere. Right, Okay, they're gonna the media is going

1221
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:19.719
to show you the place is more flooded than anything.

1222
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:21.440
They're going to show you the puddle that's you know,

1223
01:01:21.599 --> 01:01:25.440
six with the with the head sticking out, and then

1224
01:01:25.519 --> 01:01:27.920
you know, one hundred feet away there's no flood at all.

1225
01:01:28.440 --> 01:01:34.320
The same thing is happening with Portland, and it's atrocious. Chicago,

1226
01:01:35.719 --> 01:01:39.599
New Orleans, Uh, you know you name the city. Uh,

1227
01:01:39.719 --> 01:01:42.280
you need to send troops in there if they if

1228
01:01:42.320 --> 01:01:44.599
the police aren't doing their job, you need to send

1229
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:48.000
National Guard in there to protect the federal interest. Other

1230
01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:50.400
than that, I can give ship what happens to Portland.

1231
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:53.119
I can give a crap what happens to Chicago. Those

1232
01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:55.599
people decided by their vote that they wanted to be

1233
01:01:56.440 --> 01:02:01.039
governed by the people that they elected to govern and yeah,

1234
01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:02.119
help you high water.

1235
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:08.519
So okay, So protecting federal facilities exactly where this application

1236
01:02:08.639 --> 01:02:12.360
makes sense. Right, But let's let's say that should we

1237
01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:15.559
let a state become a hellhole, become destitute and ram

1238
01:02:15.599 --> 01:02:20.320
by crime just because people voted that way is the

1239
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:23.159
other question. And then you know, when we're talking about

1240
01:02:23.199 --> 01:02:27.639
California earlier in my point being about you know, being

1241
01:02:27.719 --> 01:02:30.920
part of the union, when you have the governor himself

1242
01:02:31.679 --> 01:02:33.760
popping off and trying to talk about how we should

1243
01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:37.159
secede as a state, that's not acceptable.

1244
01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:42.280
I will say this, Does California have a military? Well? No,

1245
01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:48.039
I mean, I'm with you when you start spouting of

1246
01:02:48.159 --> 01:02:50.199
the fact that you know, we want to succeed from

1247
01:02:50.199 --> 01:02:53.280
the state. Does California have a military? No, California doesn't

1248
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:55.719
have a military. We have a nation. Yeah, we can't

1249
01:02:55.760 --> 01:02:57.440
stand on our own. We don't have taste, we don't

1250
01:02:57.440 --> 01:03:00.159
have nuclear weapons, we don't have anything of sort to

1251
01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:03.199
go against the the power of the federal government, the

1252
01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:05.559
US Army, the Navy, whatever, understood.

1253
01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:08.679
But but the governor of California himself saying these things,

1254
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:12.320
I mean, would you say the federal government has a

1255
01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:14.679
right to tell the governor or go to the state

1256
01:03:14.719 --> 01:03:17.679
of California, the governing body of state California, say all right,

1257
01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:21.559
what's the reasoning for this? Rhetoric, this narrative of secession,

1258
01:03:21.679 --> 01:03:23.280
like why are you trying to push this? Are you

1259
01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:27.000
trying to you know, isolate yourself and separate from the Union.

1260
01:03:27.239 --> 01:03:29.719
And then to your point, it's like it's a stupid

1261
01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:31.880
situation that they want to do because now they're trapped,

1262
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:34.000
like you're gonna you're gonna have the coastline and then

1263
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:36.599
they're gonna be blocked off on all other sides, not

1264
01:03:36.639 --> 01:03:38.800
being able to defend yourself or do anything against United

1265
01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:41.119
States of America. But then I guarantee if they ever

1266
01:03:41.199 --> 01:03:44.679
did this, they're gonna cry and try to be an

1267
01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:46.199
ally of the use because they're then they're going to

1268
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:48.280
realize they're boxed in and they have nothing they can do.

1269
01:03:48.599 --> 01:03:51.280
And then what about pulling out our our training bases

1270
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:53.400
in San Diego, Like we've got the Marine training facility,

1271
01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:56.599
Like we have the base over there in uh Palms,

1272
01:03:56.880 --> 01:04:02.079
Palm Springs. Like yeah, now, what you know, how is

1273
01:04:02.119 --> 01:04:03.159
this guy separation?

1274
01:04:03.280 --> 01:04:06.000
It's the separation of the ideologies of the political parties

1275
01:04:06.000 --> 01:04:09.039
that are that are running these states and local governments.

1276
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:11.159
And that's just the way it is. I mean, we

1277
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:14.760
I guess we boxed ourselves into a situation where now

1278
01:04:14.800 --> 01:04:19.199
we got to go, wow, we're really strewd, you know.

1279
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:22.159
I guess my point is like when you when you

1280
01:04:22.199 --> 01:04:24.119
got governors talking this, it's like they're trying to stir

1281
01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:26.480
ship up just because they don't like Trump. You know,

1282
01:04:26.480 --> 01:04:30.400
you got Newsom said it. I think uh JB. Prisker

1283
01:04:30.760 --> 01:04:32.400
Actually I don't know if he said it or he

1284
01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:36.320
made a under the radar type of comment about it.

1285
01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:40.800
But other other Blue states have said this, and it's like,

1286
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:43.159
are we trying to recreate the South versus the North?

1287
01:04:43.360 --> 01:04:45.519
But it wouldn't literally be the South verst North. It

1288
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:47.679
would be like you know, the left first right war,

1289
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:51.119
Like what are they pushing for? And all for the

1290
01:04:51.159 --> 01:04:53.320
sake that they don't like Donald Trump? You know, and

1291
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:55.920
then the citizens are caught in between because you know,

1292
01:04:56.000 --> 01:04:57.960
we give these politicians too much power. They think the

1293
01:04:58.159 --> 01:05:00.239
rock stars these days, they can do whatever they want.

1294
01:05:00.519 --> 01:05:03.320
It's like, hold on. It's like the approach to war

1295
01:05:04.159 --> 01:05:07.519
in my opinion, so like because two politicians leaders of

1296
01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:09.840
two countries don't like each other, we're now going to

1297
01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:12.000
stand troops in to fight each other. Well fuck that,

1298
01:05:12.119 --> 01:05:13.440
you guys, get in the ring and duke it out.

1299
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:17.519
See who wins. You know, it doesn't make a little sense.

1300
01:05:17.639 --> 01:05:19.480
It would be a lot different if we had the

1301
01:05:19.559 --> 01:05:22.079
WWE pay per view, they had all the governments pitted

1302
01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:24.800
against each other, and I would pay.

1303
01:05:25.159 --> 01:05:26.800
Oh, that would be great. I think that would be

1304
01:05:26.840 --> 01:05:28.320
amazing if we can get to that point. I mean,

1305
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:30.599
could you imagine Trump and Kim Jong un over there

1306
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:33.719
in the ring just going at it, you know, rocketman

1307
01:05:33.840 --> 01:05:36.400
versus Orange, you know, Cheetah dusted man like, that's what

1308
01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:37.000
they would call.

1309
01:05:36.920 --> 01:05:43.599
It, right, That would be freaking great. But in all seriousness,

1310
01:05:43.679 --> 01:05:48.400
I think that it's we have just let government. We

1311
01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:53.119
have come. We have citizens that become complacent to government.

1312
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:56.800
We become complacent to the things that we're used to.

1313
01:05:57.480 --> 01:06:02.360
We we get we get just really comfortable with what

1314
01:06:02.400 --> 01:06:05.920
we have. Man. I mean really, I mean I never

1315
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:07.639
thought in a million years that I have a home.

1316
01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:09.440
I'm sitting here with the home. I'm doing everything that

1317
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:12.519
I can do to protect it, with insurances, with with

1318
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:15.480
the cost of living, with you know, making sure that

1319
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:18.199
this thing is still standing, you know, on this foundation

1320
01:06:18.320 --> 01:06:21.320
and stuff like that. And yet you know, outside of

1321
01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:24.079
my outside of my little bubble that I have around

1322
01:06:24.119 --> 01:06:27.599
my you know, less than a quarter anchor freaking home here,

1323
01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:31.920
I've got, you know, walls falling down around me, and uh,

1324
01:06:32.079 --> 01:06:34.440
you know, so you know, we like the costcos we

1325
01:06:34.559 --> 01:06:37.239
liked the We like the convenience. We liked we like

1326
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:40.000
the sunshine. We pay sunshine backs me and you, George,

1327
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:42.880
and uh, you know, all that stuff is falling down

1328
01:06:42.920 --> 01:06:45.480
around us, and we were looking at each other and

1329
01:06:45.559 --> 01:06:49.239
just going like, we created this, We created we created

1330
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:51.639
all of this. Now whether or not you voted for

1331
01:06:51.840 --> 01:06:54.880
it or not is irregardless of it. But when was

1332
01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:57.079
the last time you talked to your neighbor? How many

1333
01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:58.960
neighbors do you know around you?

1334
01:06:59.519 --> 01:07:02.639
Okay, but I don't think that's a political thing when

1335
01:07:02.679 --> 01:07:04.480
it comes to like talking to neighbors. I think that

1336
01:07:04.719 --> 01:07:11.039
is a that is an engineered social behavior over time,

1337
01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:14.280
because you know, now we're talking, I'm gonna.

1338
01:07:14.039 --> 01:07:15.599
Win in politics.

1339
01:07:14.679 --> 01:07:20.760
But that that that is a result of always having

1340
01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:26.119
always having to have the latest, greatest, newest entertainment in

1341
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:28.880
your hand. It all started with social media, and once

1342
01:07:28.920 --> 01:07:31.639
that happened, we started separating from each other to interact

1343
01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:35.199
base to face. Now everything's done online or you're you know,

1344
01:07:35.280 --> 01:07:37.199
you don't even have conversation with anyone on the phone.

1345
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:39.039
It's a text message. Nobody wants to talk to anybody.

1346
01:07:39.239 --> 01:07:41.840
It's like, send a message, and there's a place for that,

1347
01:07:41.960 --> 01:07:43.719
you know, like for me if I'm busy and I'm

1348
01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:45.599
in a meeting or whatever. Yeah, text message makes sense,

1349
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:47.760
Please text me and then I'll call you back. But

1350
01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:49.960
nobody wants to talk to anybody. People have lost that.

1351
01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:52.800
People have lost, right, So I don't think that that

1352
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:56.320
that particular example in terms of talking to your neighbor.

1353
01:07:56.400 --> 01:07:58.320
Not No, your neighbor is a political thing so much

1354
01:07:58.320 --> 01:08:00.719
as it is a societal thing. Is what we have

1355
01:08:00.880 --> 01:08:05.679
become due to being trained, you know, we we've been

1356
01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:11.159
behaviorally modified and conditioned into looking at our phones in

1357
01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:13.960
our social media and that's our that's our world. And

1358
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:16.520
unfortunately that led to these these keyboard warriors and these

1359
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:19.319
people who believe that because they have a million followers

1360
01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:21.520
on x that they're the biggest shit in the world. Well, listen,

1361
01:08:21.760 --> 01:08:23.319
I'm gonna tell you right now, once you walk out

1362
01:08:23.359 --> 01:08:26.840
your door, you're nothing. You really are nothing. They don't

1363
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:28.600
want to they don't want to hear that, but that's true,

1364
01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:30.560
you know. And it's like when it comes to podcasting,

1365
01:08:30.600 --> 01:08:32.800
for example, just because that's what you do. We have

1366
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:37.279
that my social media does not reflect. It does not

1367
01:08:37.319 --> 01:08:40.800
reflect what goes on with the podcast whatsoever. You know,

1368
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:42.960
I'm horrible at it. I don't grow it because I

1369
01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:44.960
don't have time to sit there and post twenty four

1370
01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:47.399
freaking hours. But there's people that they tried to make

1371
01:08:47.439 --> 01:08:51.359
this their living and what's dangerous. And I'm going to

1372
01:08:51.439 --> 01:08:53.159
tie this back together, Bruce, But what you said in

1373
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:56.600
the beginning is like with the news now, they're relying

1374
01:08:56.640 --> 01:08:59.199
on what's being said on social media as fact in

1375
01:08:59.319 --> 01:09:01.600
truth when most of it is a bunch of bots

1376
01:09:01.720 --> 01:09:03.119
just kicking the hornets nest.

1377
01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:05.920
Yeah, yeah, I think that. I think the fact that

1378
01:09:05.960 --> 01:09:08.880
you've got to go like, we cannot trust the mainstream

1379
01:09:08.920 --> 01:09:13.319
media anymore. You can't trust uh, but even even independent

1380
01:09:13.439 --> 01:09:15.720
so called journalism. Well, and that's what I'm saying. That's

1381
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:17.239
why I'm getting that. I'm getting that. So now we

1382
01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:19.560
got X that we're going into and we're going like, oh, well,

1383
01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:21.439
that's where we get the news first, because they're faster

1384
01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:24.119
than anybody else, you know, faster in NBC, faster and

1385
01:09:24.199 --> 01:09:27.520
Fox faster than CNN. Fine, it is you know, but

1386
01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:29.520
like you said, there's a whole bunch of bots that

1387
01:09:29.520 --> 01:09:32.399
are kicking the hornet's nest, and you still have to

1388
01:09:32.399 --> 01:09:35.000
do your due diligence. I had had a conversation last

1389
01:09:35.079 --> 01:09:38.039
night with the person that we've had on our show before,

1390
01:09:38.560 --> 01:09:42.600
and she she had been duped into into, uh into

1391
01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:45.680
posting something that she saw online. What she found out

1392
01:09:45.760 --> 01:09:50.199
was basically, you know, about kicking the hornous nest, and

1393
01:09:50.239 --> 01:09:52.560
it was wrong, you know, And I go, you still

1394
01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:54.439
have to do your due digits. Just because I found

1395
01:09:54.479 --> 01:09:56.680
it on X doesn't make it true. I mean, they

1396
01:09:57.039 --> 01:10:02.119
showed they showed the presence of Boston yesterday of of

1397
01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:07.319
the of the No King's protests. But but the picture

1398
01:10:07.479 --> 01:10:10.479
was from another protest back a couple of years ago. Yeah,

1399
01:10:10.520 --> 01:10:15.640
I mean from Yeah, they're reusing you know, stock photos

1400
01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:18.600
from stuff that happened earlier. Now, did Boston have that

1401
01:10:18.640 --> 01:10:21.479
turn up? Maybe maybe not. I don't know. I don't

1402
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:24.279
freaking go to Boston. I don't care about Boston. The

1403
01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:26.159
only thing I care about Boston is that, you know,

1404
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:27.880
they beat the Yankees. You know, That's what That's what

1405
01:10:27.920 --> 01:10:32.000
I care about. But but no, I mean, you know,

1406
01:10:32.119 --> 01:10:34.000
we got to take this stuff with a grain of salt.

1407
01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:36.079
When you're when you're dealing with social media, which is

1408
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:38.479
our main source of information, now you still have to

1409
01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:40.199
take it with a grain of salt. You still have

1410
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:43.479
to do your due diligence as you go forward, especially

1411
01:10:43.520 --> 01:10:45.680
with you know, with the weather Report, is it different?

1412
01:10:46.039 --> 01:10:48.279
Is a different animal than than the Wedterview. The weather

1413
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:51.399
View deals with news and politics and cultural stuff that

1414
01:10:51.439 --> 01:10:55.880
we do every every morning. I still have to research

1415
01:10:56.000 --> 01:11:00.479
before I get into that realm on every morning. Yeah,

1416
01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:03.640
before before I go with because you know, a lot

1417
01:11:03.640 --> 01:11:06.079
of these guys and I love all my freaking co hosts,

1418
01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:09.319
my collaborators, and collaborators will come out sometimes and I

1419
01:11:09.359 --> 01:11:11.840
had to go like, hey, whoa, you know, this is

1420
01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:14.279
what's really going on. Even though we have a dialogue

1421
01:11:14.319 --> 01:11:17.279
there that we discussed these things back and forth always

1422
01:11:17.479 --> 01:11:20.640
because it's open dialogue. It's it's a critical thinking discussion

1423
01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:23.840
and stuff like that. But you have to do your

1424
01:11:23.920 --> 01:11:26.439
due diligence. If you don't do your due diligence, I'm

1425
01:11:26.560 --> 01:11:31.640
doing my listeners wrong by giving them bad information and

1426
01:11:31.680 --> 01:11:34.079
then they're going to react whether they're you know, the

1427
01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:38.439
dozens of people that I have listening are going to react. Yeah,

1428
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:40.159
they're going to react in a way that that is

1429
01:11:40.239 --> 01:11:42.399
contrary to what's really happening out there. I think we

1430
01:11:42.439 --> 01:11:44.800
have a response. I think we have a responsibility as

1431
01:11:44.840 --> 01:11:48.159
independent podcasters to at least do as much due diligence

1432
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:50.199
as we can, because as much fact out there as

1433
01:11:50.199 --> 01:11:53.640
possible strew the Hannity is screwed, the Joe Rogan, screw

1434
01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:57.600
everybody else. You know, uh like that. It doesn't matter.

1435
01:11:57.640 --> 01:11:59.600
They have an agenda to go by. You can say.

1436
01:11:59.640 --> 01:12:01.760
You can say that Joe Rogan, you know, shoots from

1437
01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:04.159
you know, shoots from the hippie, doesn't shoot from the hippie.

1438
01:12:04.279 --> 01:12:06.399
He's got his donators and stuff like that. He's gotta

1439
01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:08.520
he's got to do the same with Hannity's same with

1440
01:12:08.640 --> 01:12:10.960
all these other people that are that are doing this stuff.

1441
01:12:11.000 --> 01:12:13.880
But yeah, Joe's got that one hundred million dollars contract.

1442
01:12:14.079 --> 01:12:17.159
At some point someone's gonna like say, whoa, hey, you

1443
01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:17.880
need to kind of got it.

1444
01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:20.399
Ten I got a tent and tenths and fifteen dollars

1445
01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:21.680
contracts going on, So.

1446
01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:25.159
I got nothing. I don't even push it. I'm bad

1447
01:12:25.199 --> 01:12:29.560
about that, But you're correct. This is what you said

1448
01:12:29.640 --> 01:12:33.000
is very akin to what uh Roy Strozzio. I don't

1449
01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:34.840
know if you know who he is, but he's he's

1450
01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:39.439
another he was an influencer. Uh, he's another podcaster who's

1451
01:12:39.520 --> 01:12:41.439
kind of switched his career up. He was he used

1452
01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:43.960
to be like the Disney Parks guy. So he go

1453
01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:45.560
like to the Disney parks and do all this. He

1454
01:12:45.600 --> 01:12:49.600
had a huge falling TikTok, and he's been changing things.

1455
01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:52.199
He's having more of these type of conversations now, getting

1456
01:12:52.199 --> 01:12:54.960
away from it. And uh, that's one of his peeves,

1457
01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:59.279
is uh self moderation. There's not enough of it from

1458
01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:03.640
podcast independent or otherwise. It's great that we don't have

1459
01:13:03.680 --> 01:13:05.479
the regulation. We can say whatever we want. We could

1460
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:07.800
use whatever words we want. I can use as many

1461
01:13:07.840 --> 01:13:10.600
expectives as I want. But we also have to realize

1462
01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:14.560
that there's a responsibility because there are people who will

1463
01:13:14.600 --> 01:13:17.640
hear us. Big or small, doesn't matter. We have are

1464
01:13:17.680 --> 01:13:21.880
people who listen to us, and they may take what

1465
01:13:21.920 --> 01:13:28.159
we say as fact in terms of he said this

1466
01:13:28.279 --> 01:13:31.079
because this is what he does, and I trust what

1467
01:13:31.119 --> 01:13:33.600
he says or her. And now I'm going to move

1468
01:13:33.640 --> 01:13:35.479
forward in my life and I'm going to apply what

1469
01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:38.039
that person said, like me, you whoever, and this is

1470
01:13:38.079 --> 01:13:39.760
now going to be my way of thinking and the

1471
01:13:39.800 --> 01:13:42.239
basis on how I make all my decisions. There are

1472
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:44.520
all those people out there, and I would say that

1473
01:13:44.800 --> 01:13:47.840
if you listen to me, you whoever, take even what

1474
01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:49.920
I say with the grain of salt, do your own research.

1475
01:13:49.920 --> 01:13:51.880
And I've said that, and there's times where I'm like,

1476
01:13:52.000 --> 01:13:53.600
I don't have time to do all the research, like

1477
01:13:53.640 --> 01:13:56.960
I've done it. But I'll even tell people when I'm recording, hey,

1478
01:13:57.000 --> 01:14:00.640
look this up yourself, like, don't just don't just hang

1479
01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:03.039
on my word. And I think there has to be

1480
01:14:03.079 --> 01:14:05.600
some self moderation. I don't believe we need to be censored.

1481
01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:08.079
I don't think we need the whole FCC regulation stuff applied.

1482
01:14:08.199 --> 01:14:10.239
That's what That's what Royce keeps trying to say. I

1483
01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:12.079
was just, you know, on one of his podcasts today

1484
01:14:12.079 --> 01:14:14.159
listening and he he believes that we need to get

1485
01:14:14.159 --> 01:14:15.800
to That's like, nah, I don't believe in that fuck that.

1486
01:14:15.800 --> 01:14:17.720
I want to say, funck, shit, cunt, whatever I want

1487
01:14:17.720 --> 01:14:20.520
to say, however, however want to express myself. I want

1488
01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:22.439
to do that, but I also realize that I have

1489
01:14:22.479 --> 01:14:26.199
a responsibility like, I can't be pushing hate speech, and

1490
01:14:26.520 --> 01:14:29.000
you know, I don't want to bombard the bombard social

1491
01:14:29.039 --> 01:14:33.039
media with nothing but like beheadings and death and you know, pedophilians,

1492
01:14:33.079 --> 01:14:34.319
Like what kind of person would I be if I

1493
01:14:34.359 --> 01:14:39.000
did that? You know, I believe in your approach, Uh,

1494
01:14:39.079 --> 01:14:41.600
do your research, present facts and data. And I say

1495
01:14:41.640 --> 01:14:44.520
facts and data at the time of my recording, because

1496
01:14:44.640 --> 01:14:47.600
as things as things progress, you know, it could change,

1497
01:14:47.640 --> 01:14:49.600
it could change right in the middle of your podcast,

1498
01:14:49.880 --> 01:14:52.640
right it's happened. I'm like recording something and all of

1499
01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:54.520
a sudden, I say something pop on. I was like, well,

1500
01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:59.640
all right, I guess that's no longer valid, so but whatever.

1501
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.159
But yeah, I'm just saying you're correct. I believe everything

1502
01:15:03.199 --> 01:15:07.039
that you said is absolutely true. And unfortunately, too many

1503
01:15:07.039 --> 01:15:09.359
people are easily influenced and they and they hang on

1504
01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:12.680
the words of like these you know, Ben Shapiro's, Joe Rogan's,

1505
01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:14.760
Michael Knowles, all these guys. And I'm not saying they

1506
01:15:14.760 --> 01:15:17.119
don't have valid points, but in the end, they're no

1507
01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:19.000
different than your right, They're just people. There's people with

1508
01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:22.800
opinions that they are not qualified to actually be somebody

1509
01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:25.760
in which you would hang your entire life view on.

1510
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:29.039
They're just not period same thing with a politician. They're

1511
01:15:29.079 --> 01:15:31.479
just another person. There's nothing special about them.

1512
01:15:31.479 --> 01:15:34.520
But George, would you sell out like like Aaron Wood

1513
01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:36.920
or you know, the one hundred million dollar contract and

1514
01:15:37.039 --> 01:15:40.560
just you know, become the uh come the next Rachel

1515
01:15:40.600 --> 01:15:44.119
mad Out. I would never be that. But at the

1516
01:15:44.119 --> 01:15:45.199
same time, I get it.

1517
01:15:45.239 --> 01:15:47.199
I get the question because that is something that I

1518
01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:49.520
think all of us think about, like, let's just be honest,

1519
01:15:49.960 --> 01:15:53.359
would we not rather have this be our career for example?

1520
01:15:53.760 --> 01:15:54.680
But there's a problem.

1521
01:15:54.800 --> 01:15:57.359
You know, the problem with that is you do get

1522
01:15:57.359 --> 01:16:00.119
what you ask for once it becomes the career and

1523
01:16:00.159 --> 01:16:03.079
it becomes the grind, and then it's no longer you know,

1524
01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:06.039
you literally caring about what you're doing. You're just like, God, damn,

1525
01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:08.279
I gotta put another one out. I got to talk

1526
01:16:08.279 --> 01:16:11.039
about the S s U. And then you're just stuck

1527
01:16:11.079 --> 01:16:15.399
in this this this stuck in these four walls that

1528
01:16:15.479 --> 01:16:18.680
you can't escape because if you don't do X, you

1529
01:16:18.720 --> 01:16:22.479
don't get why in return, and you're you're part of

1530
01:16:22.520 --> 01:16:28.840
this vicious cycle of being a exactly pretty much. But

1531
01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:31.760
as far as one hundred million dollar question, yeah. I

1532
01:16:31.800 --> 01:16:34.560
mean I think most people will say they wouldn't, but

1533
01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:38.359
they would. What question is is how long can you

1534
01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:40.800
hack it? Like could you how long can you swallow

1535
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:43.359
before you blow up and say fuck this, I can't

1536
01:16:43.359 --> 01:16:45.520
do it anymore. I can't do it anymore. I mean,

1537
01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:48.760
I would think that someone like uh, me or you

1538
01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:51.159
would have the integrity to I mean, even if someone

1539
01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:52.560
waving in front of your face. I mean, it's hard

1540
01:16:52.560 --> 01:16:56.279
to turn that down. But at the same time, you

1541
01:16:56.359 --> 01:16:58.279
gotta you gotta stand up for who you are. So

1542
01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:01.039
I can't answer that question until someone actually presents it

1543
01:17:01.079 --> 01:17:02.720
to me because it would be tempting.

1544
01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:04.960
Well, right now, I'm living the dream because I love

1545
01:17:05.000 --> 01:17:08.159
to talk. I love podcasting. When I started podcasting, I

1546
01:17:08.239 --> 01:17:10.039
was like, man, this is great and I'll be able

1547
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:12.359
to talk. And the whole thing is is this is

1548
01:17:12.359 --> 01:17:14.800
when I get into my social circles now, which is

1549
01:17:15.039 --> 01:17:18.000
mostly because I live in a democratic, you know, democratic

1550
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:21.359
kind of area, When they start talking about politics and

1551
01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:23.720
stuff like that in a social situation, I'm going like, hey,

1552
01:17:23.760 --> 01:17:25.199
you know what, I got two shows. I got The

1553
01:17:25.199 --> 01:17:27.920
Weather Report and I got the Weather View. Let's talk fishing,

1554
01:17:29.159 --> 01:17:32.520
Let's talk baseball, let's talk football, let's talk anything that

1555
01:17:32.520 --> 01:17:34.359
that you know that I don't have to talk about

1556
01:17:34.399 --> 01:17:36.560
other than that you can get from one of my

1557
01:17:36.600 --> 01:17:39.520
two shows. That's basically what I told them because it's

1558
01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:42.600
so free and in that way, Number One, I get

1559
01:17:42.600 --> 01:17:44.920
to do what I love. I get to enjoy the

1560
01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:47.720
people that I like to hang around with. And it's

1561
01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:50.239
not work. And like you said, it's one hundred million

1562
01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:53.399
dollar question. What one hundred million dollars help me out?

1563
01:17:53.479 --> 01:17:58.279
You know? Oh? Absolutely, it change my life totally. But

1564
01:17:58.319 --> 01:18:00.840
then it would be the grind and everything else like that.

1565
01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:03.399
And then my other two businesses. I'm in a direct

1566
01:18:03.399 --> 01:18:07.840
marketing business plexus worldwide. I use the products, that's what

1567
01:18:07.880 --> 01:18:10.720
I do. I love it. I have a backyard nursery.

1568
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:13.720
I love gardening. Yeah, you know, if I got a

1569
01:18:13.720 --> 01:18:16.520
one hundred million dollar contract in the doing gardening and

1570
01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:18.920
stuff like that, would it be different than what I'm

1571
01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:22.439
doing now? Absolutely? Would it be a grind? Absolutely? Would

1572
01:18:22.479 --> 01:18:25.920
I hate it? Absolutely? Yeah? So it comes rob Yeah,

1573
01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:28.520
I'd rather be on the small end of it and

1574
01:18:28.680 --> 01:18:31.960
put in my extra twenty hours a week that I do,

1575
01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:36.600
you know, producing this program, doing my backyard nursery, promoting

1576
01:18:36.600 --> 01:18:40.600
my other direct marketing program stuff like that. Yeah, it's

1577
01:18:40.720 --> 01:18:43.520
it's a grind. It's still it's a grind. It it

1578
01:18:43.560 --> 01:18:45.920
is an enjoyable grind. It's not like work. It's something

1579
01:18:45.960 --> 01:18:48.680
that I love. Yeah, it's different.

1580
01:18:49.039 --> 01:18:52.520
It's a different grind because you're not you're not under

1581
01:18:52.520 --> 01:18:54.680
the pressure of if I don't do this, my paycheck's

1582
01:18:54.680 --> 01:18:57.359
taken away or exactly. Got to be afraid to say

1583
01:18:57.399 --> 01:19:00.319
something because then I will no longer get this support

1584
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:05.039
from my employer. Really, and even when it comes to sponsors.

1585
01:19:05.039 --> 01:19:07.239
I mean, you know, I look at it this way.

1586
01:19:07.920 --> 01:19:10.399
I got some affiliate marketing things going on, and it's

1587
01:19:10.439 --> 01:19:15.880
like they approved it. That's all I'm gonna say. They

1588
01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:20.239
approved it. The email we no longer want you? Fine, whatever,

1589
01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:22.399
you know. I mean, it's I'm not getting rich off

1590
01:19:22.399 --> 01:19:24.199
this anyway. I don't really care. I'm not doing it

1591
01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:28.720
for that reason. So look, let's I don't know how

1592
01:19:28.800 --> 01:19:30.239
much time you have, but I I do want to

1593
01:19:30.239 --> 01:19:35.239
get your opinion on whether or not foreign nations are

1594
01:19:35.319 --> 01:19:38.680
running our nation? Like, is do you believe that's true?

1595
01:19:38.800 --> 01:19:40.800
Is that just a bunch of bullshit?

1596
01:19:40.960 --> 01:19:43.279
Are you talking about?

1597
01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:46.920
There's there's a well I got I've got the right

1598
01:19:46.960 --> 01:19:50.439
there that globalists plan to collapse everything. I got that

1599
01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:54.159
book sent by Yeah he actually signed that and send

1600
01:19:54.159 --> 01:19:58.560
it to which was great. But yeah, there's that. But also,

1601
01:19:58.720 --> 01:20:02.520
you know, everyone thinks that Israel runs America, that Qatar

1602
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:06.319
runs America just because they may donate and they have

1603
01:20:06.359 --> 01:20:10.239
all this power and influence. It's really like, you know,

1604
01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:13.039
dropping the bucket compared to everything else that the US does.

1605
01:20:13.239 --> 01:20:15.720
And you know, the US also influences other nations. We

1606
01:20:15.760 --> 01:20:18.199
do the same thing. But what what what is your

1607
01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:22.600
take on on whether or not that is true? And

1608
01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:25.720
you're also I'm going to do a follow up like

1609
01:20:25.960 --> 01:20:29.159
our relationships with these countries, like how far do you

1610
01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:31.760
think we should go in supporting them as well? So

1611
01:20:31.840 --> 01:20:35.279
let's start with how you feel or what your viewpoint

1612
01:20:35.399 --> 01:20:36.079
is on whether or.

1613
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:39.960
Not other countries are actually running our nation. I think

1614
01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.319
they have an influence of it. I think that the

1615
01:20:42.439 --> 01:20:44.960
United Nations is probably the worst out of all of

1616
01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:49.359
them about the about the perpetrators of running other countries

1617
01:20:49.399 --> 01:20:53.279
and running this country. UH. I really believe that that's so. Uh,

1618
01:20:53.640 --> 01:20:56.800
even though we disdain the UH the United Nations and

1619
01:20:56.840 --> 01:20:58.960
why it's still sitting in New York I have no

1620
01:20:59.039 --> 01:21:02.439
idea because they they don't represent us at all. Yeah.

1621
01:21:02.520 --> 01:21:04.560
Well, some will argue the UN is really the US.

1622
01:21:04.840 --> 01:21:08.640
Yeah, and you know, all I got to do is

1623
01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:11.680
look at the Look at the headline this morning Israel

1624
01:21:11.720 --> 01:21:14.880
and Hamasra back at it. Oh yeah, so so I

1625
01:21:14.920 --> 01:21:16.680
mean look at that. Now. Now we're in a Klaig

1626
01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:19.560
mayrble where where President Trump says, you know, we're gonna

1627
01:21:19.600 --> 01:21:21.079
go in there, We're gonna kill them all. So now

1628
01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:24.800
we're gonna get troops on the ground over there. You've

1629
01:21:24.800 --> 01:21:27.840
got the Klaus Swabs, You've got the the the w

1630
01:21:28.000 --> 01:21:31.000
e F. You've got the Rothschilds and the old money

1631
01:21:31.159 --> 01:21:34.479
that that could be or could not be running the world.

1632
01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:37.680
You've got the Putins, You've got the Kim John Ouns.

1633
01:21:37.760 --> 01:21:41.039
You've got all this stuff that is all combined in

1634
01:21:41.159 --> 01:21:46.479
an interconnected network of people that actually do influence what

1635
01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:49.439
goes on in the world. So it would be silly

1636
01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:53.560
of me not to say that that other countries don't

1637
01:21:53.560 --> 01:21:56.560
influence what happens in the United States, as well as

1638
01:21:56.600 --> 01:21:59.319
those countries have influence about what's going on in their

1639
01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:02.279
country by the United States, by the Saudi Ist, by

1640
01:22:02.399 --> 01:22:05.279
Israel by whoever you think it's going to be. I

1641
01:22:05.319 --> 01:22:10.279
think that, unfortunately, that we're probably running into a one

1642
01:22:10.279 --> 01:22:13.880
world government eventually, not not in my lifetime. I mean,

1643
01:22:13.920 --> 01:22:15.399
I'm you know, I've got one foot in the grave.

1644
01:22:15.439 --> 01:22:17.840
I've probably got fifteen twenty years left, and.

1645
01:22:18.760 --> 01:22:20.279
You never know the way things are going on, yeah,

1646
01:22:20.319 --> 01:22:21.479
you never know. I don't want to live to be

1647
01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:25.119
one hundred it that way, gotcha.

1648
01:22:25.640 --> 01:22:29.760
But no, I think that unfortunately, unless I see it,

1649
01:22:30.439 --> 01:22:34.920
there's not enough turn in the actual world of countries

1650
01:22:35.039 --> 01:22:38.399
and you know, and stuff like that that is able

1651
01:22:38.439 --> 01:22:41.239
to turn the tide of a one world government. I

1652
01:22:41.640 --> 01:22:45.199
really think that there's powers out there that are are

1653
01:22:45.319 --> 01:22:49.840
more powerful, you know, money's talks, bullshit walks, and I

1654
01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:52.640
think that that that the situation that we're looking at.

1655
01:22:52.680 --> 01:22:55.479
Look at UK, look at all those European nations that

1656
01:22:55.560 --> 01:22:59.720
are all just going to this one world government that

1657
01:22:59.720 --> 01:23:03.720
they feel is correct. Saudi Arabia is going to be

1658
01:23:03.720 --> 01:23:05.399
one of those people like the United States that are

1659
01:23:05.399 --> 01:23:07.479
going to kind of push back on that. But I

1660
01:23:07.520 --> 01:23:10.439
think eventually you're going to have that situation where you know,

1661
01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:15.159
one or more is going to have to capitulate. Think

1662
01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:16.079
I think that.

1663
01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:22.159
There's definitely influence, but I don't think ownership as people

1664
01:23:22.199 --> 01:23:25.720
are trying to say, we give Israel a hell of

1665
01:23:25.720 --> 01:23:27.680
a lot more than they give us, and people will say, well, yeah,

1666
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:30.399
but they buy it back. It's not all buyback and

1667
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:34.720
military supplies. It literally is not three point five billion

1668
01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:37.640
a year regardless is our commitment, and that's not all

1669
01:23:37.640 --> 01:23:40.439
of it. That's just the minimum level that we send them.

1670
01:23:40.760 --> 01:23:44.239
But we also fund two hundred and some odd countries

1671
01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:46.920
and territories about the unit throughout the entire world. I

1672
01:23:46.960 --> 01:23:49.680
think last time I looked up combining territories and countries

1673
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:54.119
was two hundred and forty period were Misspuney.

1674
01:23:53.720 --> 01:23:56.920
Who has more military bases and more countries than anybody else?

1675
01:23:56.960 --> 01:23:59.159
We do for sure, man, absolutely, you know.

1676
01:24:00.199 --> 01:24:02.520
I mean we got the largest military base in the

1677
01:24:02.520 --> 01:24:04.840
Middle East right there in Qatar, which is you know

1678
01:24:05.199 --> 01:24:07.039
why that relationship is important. I know a lot of

1679
01:24:07.039 --> 01:24:09.920
people like they were like, why are you saying there

1680
01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:12.199
are our greatest? And I didn't say that they are

1681
01:24:12.199 --> 01:24:14.560
our greatest. They're considered one of our greatest. There for

1682
01:24:14.600 --> 01:24:16.720
the reason that we have that relationship to where they

1683
01:24:16.720 --> 01:24:20.399
allow us to host our biggest military base in the

1684
01:24:20.399 --> 01:24:23.880
Middle East. So you know, when you have countries like

1685
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:25.560
Israel who decide that they're just going to go ahead

1686
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:29.399
and attack Moss leaders on Katari soil, that kind of

1687
01:24:29.439 --> 01:24:31.359
creates a problem for us.

1688
01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:34.079
And so that that's was what I was meaning by that.

1689
01:24:34.119 --> 01:24:36.319
And even under Biden, I know, none of us respect him,

1690
01:24:36.359 --> 01:24:38.880
but you know, even he stated on his under his

1691
01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:41.640
administration before then that Qatar was one of our greatest

1692
01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:43.399
allies in the area. But they got to understand the

1693
01:24:43.399 --> 01:24:46.840
context because of that, you know, and so they try

1694
01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:49.000
to play Switzerland in the Middle East, but they're really not.

1695
01:24:49.079 --> 01:24:51.319
We know they're playing both sides. The US accepted it.

1696
01:24:51.359 --> 01:24:54.119
We know that we're not stupid, but we also have

1697
01:24:54.199 --> 01:24:57.359
the power by way of having our base right there

1698
01:24:57.439 --> 01:25:00.920
to go hold on, guys, let me let me, let

1699
01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.319
me really back a bit. So it's a very tricky

1700
01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:07.119
relationship there. But you know, I don't I don't think

1701
01:25:07.159 --> 01:25:10.319
that anybody is running us necessarily. Yeah, yeah, sure, we

1702
01:25:10.399 --> 01:25:13.680
may have some politicians that are influencing definitely. You know,

1703
01:25:13.720 --> 01:25:16.279
look out like we could talk about Ilhan Omar, who

1704
01:25:16.760 --> 01:25:19.520
basically looks out for Somalia first before the United States.

1705
01:25:19.520 --> 01:25:21.239
But I'm not sure, it's all due to funding. She's

1706
01:25:21.319 --> 01:25:25.079
just just fucking out there. And then you have other

1707
01:25:25.439 --> 01:25:29.479
politicians who may be more pro Israel, but I don't.

1708
01:25:29.520 --> 01:25:31.600
I don't think Israel's running the United States of America

1709
01:25:31.600 --> 01:25:34.600
because when push comes to shove, I guarantee you the

1710
01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:35.520
US is going to go.

1711
01:25:35.520 --> 01:25:37.880
No, no, no, no, hold on, guys. And we've done it before,

1712
01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:41.000
We've done it. Breaks tapped the breaks. Brother. Yeah. I

1713
01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:43.279
mean really, like I said, it's all about money. And

1714
01:25:43.359 --> 01:25:46.039
every place that we have a military base in, uh,

1715
01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:49.239
the country that we're in there is all about the

1716
01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:51.960
American dollar. And I can talk about the American dollar,

1717
01:25:51.960 --> 01:25:55.079
and I can talk about the deflation that the value

1718
01:25:55.239 --> 01:25:58.720
the dollar, but still people out there in the in

1719
01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:02.760
the in the world want American dollars. American dollars are

1720
01:26:02.800 --> 01:26:06.600
still what fuels, uh, the economies of many nations. And

1721
01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:11.079
until that changes, uh, you know, the military, the United

1722
01:26:11.119 --> 01:26:13.199
States military, and the United States is gonna have more

1723
01:26:13.199 --> 01:26:16.079
influence over the world than any other superpower in the

1724
01:26:16.239 --> 01:26:17.520
in the in the world.

1725
01:26:17.560 --> 01:26:20.520
So well, China is definitely contesting that power as of life,

1726
01:26:20.520 --> 01:26:23.119
but they've they've been on this multi year plan. I

1727
01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:26.039
think it's like a thousand year or hundred year plan. Yeah,

1728
01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:28.520
I forgot how they coined it, but they've they've they've

1729
01:26:28.520 --> 01:26:30.319
been on the path to control the world.

1730
01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:30.920
Yeah.

1731
01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:32.479
Well, I don't know if they'll get there, but they're

1732
01:26:32.479 --> 01:26:35.600
definitely they definitely got they definitely have influence.

1733
01:26:35.239 --> 01:26:38.000
Yeah, lifetime. But like I said, you know, I keep

1734
01:26:38.039 --> 01:26:40.600
saying that in my life and I hope that well.

1735
01:26:40.640 --> 01:26:44.000
And let's talk about the what you said about the

1736
01:26:44.039 --> 01:26:48.880
one world government. I think I've been thinking about this more,

1737
01:26:49.479 --> 01:26:52.520
uh and and it seems like that's where it's heading.

1738
01:26:52.560 --> 01:26:56.239
But Brice, I'm also realizing that the problem with that

1739
01:26:57.239 --> 01:27:03.479
is money aside, money doesn't matter, or two extreme fundamentalist

1740
01:27:04.159 --> 01:27:08.920
fundamental idealists period. And then now we're talking about cultures

1741
01:27:08.920 --> 01:27:10.760
and religions. How are you going to reign in one

1742
01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:14.880
point eight nine million billion Muslims?

1743
01:27:15.319 --> 01:27:16.159
How are you going to do that?

1744
01:27:16.359 --> 01:27:20.640
How are you going to suddenly integrate a fundamental belief

1745
01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:23.840
in Islam based on the Quran and get them to

1746
01:27:23.840 --> 01:27:26.239
integrate with the entire world and rule them under one government?

1747
01:27:26.279 --> 01:27:28.640
How's that going to happen? That's not going to happen,

1748
01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:31.439
going to be one great, big, huge civil war. And

1749
01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:37.600
I don't I was talking about. Yeah, I'll go back

1750
01:27:37.600 --> 01:27:40.399
to my statement. I think that we're heading that way.

1751
01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:42.479
Oh no, I agree, but it's going to be a

1752
01:27:42.520 --> 01:27:44.039
bloody It's going to be a bloody mess.

1753
01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:45.800
I think they're pushing for it. But I but the

1754
01:27:45.880 --> 01:27:47.039
more I think about it is like, how are they

1755
01:27:47.039 --> 01:27:50.199
going to make that happen? Are they going to literally

1756
01:27:50.199 --> 01:27:55.720
try to kill almost two billion people to make it happen?

1757
01:27:55.960 --> 01:28:00.720
Of course, basically sure they would, why not? You know?

1758
01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:03.520
But then but then here's the other question though, So,

1759
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:07.399
so China is going to come to heal as well.

1760
01:28:07.279 --> 01:28:12.039
Then some of the larger countries like China, Yeah, I

1761
01:28:12.039 --> 01:28:14.720
don't think so, because they have their own internal problems

1762
01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:17.920
with their ethnic uh people that they've let in and

1763
01:28:17.920 --> 01:28:20.479
and you know, the different people. I mean, China is huge,

1764
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:24.680
same with the with the with the the Russia. I

1765
01:28:24.760 --> 01:28:27.079
mean it's still huge. There's still a huge sport of

1766
01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:30.239
different ethnicities and stuff like that. And they've got same

1767
01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:33.840
with India, and they've got their own problems within their

1768
01:28:33.960 --> 01:28:37.199
their own continents. But I do think that some of

1769
01:28:37.239 --> 01:28:39.920
the lesser nations like the UK is just lost, that

1770
01:28:40.119 --> 01:28:43.560
they're just lost and they've been lost for some time. Yeah,

1771
01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:47.199
and and you know, you get that little cancer. Selling

1772
01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:50.640
cancer seems to want to metastasize and move itself out,

1773
01:28:50.880 --> 01:28:53.079
So it is going to move itself out, you know,

1774
01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:57.119
and and infect other countries. So whether it infects you know,

1775
01:28:57.199 --> 01:28:59.319
a little bit of Russia, whether it effects a little

1776
01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:01.199
bit of China, that it affects a little bit of

1777
01:29:01.399 --> 01:29:05.079
the United States, it's eventually gonna metastasize and get into

1778
01:29:05.119 --> 01:29:08.760
those countries. But it already has been. But uh uh,

1779
01:29:09.199 --> 01:29:11.800
Like I said, it's not going to happen in my lifetime.

1780
01:29:11.840 --> 01:29:14.560
But I think that there's there's truth And if you've

1781
01:29:14.560 --> 01:29:17.800
ever seen the time machine where people are going to

1782
01:29:17.840 --> 01:29:20.199
get into that notion that you know it's going to

1783
01:29:20.279 --> 01:29:24.960
be an autonomous, one kind of government type of situation. Now, well,

1784
01:29:25.079 --> 01:29:26.680
is it going to be able to be governed and

1785
01:29:26.760 --> 01:29:29.399
anything successfully? I don't know. You're always going to have

1786
01:29:29.439 --> 01:29:31.680
those factions. You're always going to have a religious faction,

1787
01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:35.119
You're always going to have a fundamentalist faction. You're always

1788
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:37.199
going to have a terrorist faction that's going to seek

1789
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:40.359
to undermine whatever kind of government is is around them.

1790
01:29:41.199 --> 01:29:44.239
I don't know if it'll be uh necessarily a one

1791
01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:48.880
world government, but more like more like the Five Families

1792
01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:51.640
of the American mob back in the you know where

1793
01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:54.079
they Yeah, they come in and meet and go, Okay, guys,

1794
01:29:55.319 --> 01:29:56.640
how are we going to handle banking? How we are going

1795
01:29:56.680 --> 01:29:58.680
to handle money? You know, things like that. I think

1796
01:29:58.720 --> 01:30:02.439
that would probably be be more what a one world

1797
01:30:02.479 --> 01:30:04.840
government would look like, because it's gonna be too hard

1798
01:30:04.880 --> 01:30:08.359
to wrangle in all the different cultures, beliefs, et cetera

1799
01:30:08.720 --> 01:30:09.960
and get them all come to here. There's there's no

1800
01:30:09.960 --> 01:30:12.319
ways gona happen. But but I can see that situation.

1801
01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:16.079
I can see you know, like China, America, EU, et cetera.

1802
01:30:16.359 --> 01:30:19.520
They're already doing it, but like literally really coming together

1803
01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:22.000
and really deciding we're working together and we're going to

1804
01:30:22.039 --> 01:30:25.119
control everything, and this is how we're gonna do it. So,

1805
01:30:25.439 --> 01:30:27.600
you know, we got digital ID being pushed in the UK,

1806
01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:32.199
how long is it before that starts to infiltrate, like

1807
01:30:32.239 --> 01:30:34.680
you said, infect the rest of the countries around them.

1808
01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:36.920
And listen, it's not just the UK that's lost. Friends.

1809
01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:40.600
We do we do, we okay, we do.

1810
01:30:40.960 --> 01:30:44.319
But at the same time, they're not at the point

1811
01:30:44.359 --> 01:30:48.199
where they're controlling our banking right, These are just these

1812
01:30:48.239 --> 01:30:51.399
are just doorways or portals to be able to manage

1813
01:30:51.399 --> 01:30:52.680
those things by us.

1814
01:30:53.239 --> 01:30:53.760
But we're not.

1815
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:58.600
We're not being controlled by the government yet yet China

1816
01:30:58.680 --> 01:30:59.000
does it.

1817
01:30:59.079 --> 01:30:59.720
They already do it.

1818
01:30:59.760 --> 01:31:02.000
They have a social credit score system, which, by the way,

1819
01:31:02.039 --> 01:31:04.119
I hear from what I've been seeing reports gotta dig

1820
01:31:04.119 --> 01:31:06.079
into it has been backfiring on them as of late.

1821
01:31:06.640 --> 01:31:10.439
It looks like economically they're starting to slip backwards. But

1822
01:31:11.319 --> 01:31:13.560
you know in the UK they're they're they're pushing this

1823
01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:18.399
and and Starmar's like standing behind it and he's like, Nope,

1824
01:31:18.479 --> 01:31:20.479
moving forward. This is going This is how it's going

1825
01:31:20.520 --> 01:31:22.239
to be. And if you don't like it, too bad.

1826
01:31:22.840 --> 01:31:26.560
And we also have Canada with their mandate of the

1827
01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:28.520
gun buy back, you have no choices, like you gotta

1828
01:31:28.560 --> 01:31:32.800
tell this date to turn in your weapons. They already

1829
01:31:32.800 --> 01:31:34.720
did it in Australia years back. I saw how that

1830
01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:38.159
turned out for them during COVID, right exactly. So I

1831
01:31:38.399 --> 01:31:40.279
think I think you're right, we're on track to it.

1832
01:31:40.319 --> 01:31:43.199
I'm just trying to understand what that would look like like.

1833
01:31:43.439 --> 01:31:46.000
There's no I think it's going to be a conglomerate

1834
01:31:46.039 --> 01:31:48.720
of people like a five families type situation where they're

1835
01:31:48.720 --> 01:31:53.680
gonna come together and then decide on certain things like banking, housing,

1836
01:31:53.760 --> 01:31:55.800
like whatever, stuff like that. But there's no way they're

1837
01:31:55.800 --> 01:31:57.880
going to be able to rule, Like there's not going

1838
01:31:57.960 --> 01:32:01.640
to be on TV or whatever communications the system have

1839
01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:04.439
then one person representing the entire world.

1840
01:32:04.479 --> 01:32:05.880
I don't know if that's yeah, I don't think there's

1841
01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:08.119
going to be like this one world president or anything

1842
01:32:08.159 --> 01:32:10.960
like that. We're never going to get to Star Treks. Yeah, exactly.

1843
01:32:11.319 --> 01:32:15.159
You know, for people don't know, just just read those

1844
01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:16.600
books or look into that. And that was kind of

1845
01:32:16.720 --> 01:32:19.760
you know, what the whole year Star Trek was was

1846
01:32:19.760 --> 01:32:21.039
being able to become one world.

1847
01:32:21.079 --> 01:32:23.079
We're all work together. Kumba A. I don't know, I

1848
01:32:23.079 --> 01:32:25.279
don't Yeah, I mean, but but but when you're talking

1849
01:32:25.279 --> 01:32:27.640
about you're talking about that has to be done with technology,

1850
01:32:28.079 --> 01:32:30.880
and technology is really scary these days, especially when we're

1851
01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:33.119
walking around with something you know, as powerful as the

1852
01:32:33.199 --> 01:32:36.199
laptop computer that we have you know in here, and

1853
01:32:36.720 --> 01:32:39.439
you know we're tracked all the time. All you got

1854
01:32:39.439 --> 01:32:41.680
to do is you know, type something or or or

1855
01:32:41.760 --> 01:32:43.960
mentioning something into a microphone and all of a sudden

1856
01:32:43.960 --> 01:32:46.119
it's popping up on your TV, it's popping up on

1857
01:32:46.159 --> 01:32:49.119
your feeds, it's popping up everywhere. Uh, we're not far

1858
01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:51.920
away from it. We're not far away from being controlled,

1859
01:32:52.399 --> 01:32:55.239
you know, seeing as what China is doing. Uh, we're

1860
01:32:55.239 --> 01:32:58.720
not far away from somebody like Starmer saying, you know,

1861
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:01.760
Trump is almost there, but Farmers saying, hey, you don't

1862
01:33:01.800 --> 01:33:03.720
like it. This is what's happening. This is this is

1863
01:33:03.760 --> 01:33:06.600
what we're doing. I can't believe what I'm seeing in

1864
01:33:06.640 --> 01:33:10.439
the UK right now. It's just unbelievable. With they're talking about,

1865
01:33:10.479 --> 01:33:12.880
you know, well, we love free speech, but we're gonna

1866
01:33:12.880 --> 01:33:16.159
put you in jail for a Facebook post or or

1867
01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:22.359
they're unfettered, uh, their unfettered uh borders of immigration that

1868
01:33:22.359 --> 01:33:26.039
they're letting people just change the whole culture of what

1869
01:33:26.119 --> 01:33:29.119
the UK used to be in order to just like,

1870
01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:32.279
you know, push down their own people in order to

1871
01:33:32.640 --> 01:33:35.760
find you know, favor with with with Islam and the

1872
01:33:35.840 --> 01:33:38.399
Muslims that are that are in the area, and to

1873
01:33:38.439 --> 01:33:41.399
be able to accept the Sharia law and the other

1874
01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:44.720
cultures and stuff like that. They're able that that seem

1875
01:33:44.800 --> 01:33:47.640
not to want to assimilate into the culture of where

1876
01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:50.680
they moved to or immigrated to. But the same thing

1877
01:33:50.760 --> 01:33:55.279
is happening in the United States. We're fighting different factions

1878
01:33:55.279 --> 01:33:57.239
here and there in different states that are going like,

1879
01:33:57.279 --> 01:33:59.920
we don't want sharia law here. I don't want sharia lawyer.

1880
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:02.439
I'm used to the law that that I'm used to

1881
01:34:02.600 --> 01:34:05.279
being under. And if my wife has to worry about

1882
01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:08.479
being in a certain area of town where she needs

1883
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:11.479
to cover her face or whatever like that, bullshit, That's

1884
01:34:11.479 --> 01:34:13.800
not what I did that, that's not what it's all about.

1885
01:34:14.199 --> 01:34:17.600
And I think that the the the uh, the other

1886
01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:21.199
countries in this world are are you know, like I said,

1887
01:34:21.199 --> 01:34:25.399
even ours are slowly shifting to to that norm. And

1888
01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:28.640
whether it be the the enormity of the islam face

1889
01:34:28.760 --> 01:34:31.079
or the muddle of face or whatever you want to say.

1890
01:34:31.119 --> 01:34:34.399
And Christianity is on its way out or or maybe

1891
01:34:34.399 --> 01:34:36.479
it's on his way back up. With the killing of

1892
01:34:36.600 --> 01:34:39.960
you know, Charlie kirk Uh, you know, there's there's a

1893
01:34:40.319 --> 01:34:43.000
there's a retribution to be had, and I don't know

1894
01:34:43.039 --> 01:34:44.720
which way it's going to go. I'm kind of scared

1895
01:34:44.720 --> 01:34:45.119
about it.

1896
01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:49.800
I think the EU or the European countries need to

1897
01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:55.560
be like Poland. Poland isn't messing around. They don't care that,

1898
01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:58.760
you know, they're controlling their borders. Uh, you know, you're

1899
01:34:59.359 --> 01:35:03.319
you can't give away your own culture and your statehood

1900
01:35:04.039 --> 01:35:08.119
due to empathy and under the guise of empathy and acceptance.

1901
01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:10.680
Is how since you brought it up and we're talking

1902
01:35:10.720 --> 01:35:14.039
about it, Islam itself is going to infiltrate other countries

1903
01:35:14.880 --> 01:35:16.359
and turn their cultures.

1904
01:35:16.720 --> 01:35:21.199
And since we're talking about UK, it's funny.

1905
01:35:20.880 --> 01:35:23.439
How you know, we had all these videos and people

1906
01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:27.439
pushing the rhetoric that, oh, you know, the culture of

1907
01:35:27.640 --> 01:35:29.880
UK wasn't all white. Now they're trying to push out

1908
01:35:29.880 --> 01:35:32.239
the idea of it being a white nation. Well, I'm sorry,

1909
01:35:32.239 --> 01:35:35.479
but white people are actually indigenous to that area.

1910
01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:35.840
I know.

1911
01:35:35.840 --> 01:35:37.359
People don't want to believe. They all want to believe

1912
01:35:37.399 --> 01:35:42.119
that it's always a person of color. Was the inhabitants

1913
01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:44.600
of all places in the world really a person of

1914
01:35:44.640 --> 01:35:48.479
color inhabited and colonized and developed, you know, the areas

1915
01:35:48.479 --> 01:35:52.319
of the north of ice and snow. Sure, right, And

1916
01:35:52.640 --> 01:35:54.760
that's not true, you know, and the people of the

1917
01:35:54.840 --> 01:35:57.479
UK or skin color is white and this isn't a

1918
01:35:57.479 --> 01:35:59.880
white versus black or color thing. I'm just saying that

1919
01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:05.239
they're intentionally, intentionally pushing the narratives to change the culture

1920
01:36:05.279 --> 01:36:07.000
and get you to accept it under the guise of

1921
01:36:07.119 --> 01:36:13.960
racism and empathy and acceptance. And what we're seeing with

1922
01:36:14.319 --> 01:36:16.479
what's happening in New York with Mondamie is like, how

1923
01:36:16.520 --> 01:36:20.079
scary is that? Yeah, you know, and people say that, oh,

1924
01:36:20.119 --> 01:36:21.920
he's in trouble because of the debate he had. Why

1925
01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:25.279
because he's he asked whether or not Cuomo visited a mosque, Like,

1926
01:36:25.319 --> 01:36:27.720
who gives a fuck? How many fucking Catholic cathedrals as

1927
01:36:28.000 --> 01:36:30.479
Madambie been to? How many times has he fucking prayed

1928
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:32.720
the rosary or got his knee down on in a pew?

1929
01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:37.560
Like seriously, that's what sways the votes? How ridiculous are people?

1930
01:36:38.479 --> 01:36:41.880
It's pretty scary to listen to Mandami speak, you know,

1931
01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:44.920
getting back to us politics and what's going on in

1932
01:36:44.920 --> 01:36:48.359
New York. It's scary to me to think that that's

1933
01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:52.159
it's all related. Though, yeah, it's all related, but I mean,

1934
01:36:52.279 --> 01:36:57.199
you know, it's pretty scary to living where I came from.

1935
01:36:57.239 --> 01:36:59.039
I mean, I was born in the sixties, I grew

1936
01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:02.199
up in the seventies, I matured in the eighties. You know,

1937
01:37:02.279 --> 01:37:05.000
got married in the nineties and here I am today.

1938
01:37:06.520 --> 01:37:09.159
To be able to listen to somebody like Mdamie, to

1939
01:37:09.199 --> 01:37:12.760
be able to listen to Ilian Omar, to be able

1940
01:37:12.760 --> 01:37:16.680
to listen to AOC is totally foreign to me. But

1941
01:37:18.640 --> 01:37:21.840
I don't count anymore because I'm a dying I'm a

1942
01:37:21.920 --> 01:37:27.800
dying voting block. My voting block is getting slimmer as

1943
01:37:27.920 --> 01:37:32.520
we age, and these young people are coming up, and

1944
01:37:32.680 --> 01:37:35.079
I have faith that you know, some of the young people,

1945
01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:37.279
There's still going to be a fifty to fifty split

1946
01:37:37.479 --> 01:37:39.640
no matter what happens, there's still going to be a

1947
01:37:39.680 --> 01:37:43.680
fifty to fifty split. But I can't feel sorry for

1948
01:37:43.760 --> 01:37:47.720
the people in New York City that are going to

1949
01:37:47.800 --> 01:37:51.239
vote Mondamia as their governor. I don't feel sorry for

1950
01:37:51.359 --> 01:37:55.439
the people in Minnesota who keep Ilion Omar in power.

1951
01:37:56.840 --> 01:38:00.239
You get what you freaking vote for, no matter the

1952
01:38:00.319 --> 01:38:03.039
makeup of your city is either there's a lot of

1953
01:38:03.199 --> 01:38:06.600
conservatives in there, but there's more Democrats. But I don't know.

1954
01:38:07.159 --> 01:38:10.199
Okay, But that argument though, that argum members, which I

1955
01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:13.800
do agree with what you're saying. That's on the surface.

1956
01:38:14.119 --> 01:38:16.840
Let's let's be honest, you're saying in that situation, they

1957
01:38:16.840 --> 01:38:18.520
got what they vote for. Now that applies a lot

1958
01:38:18.520 --> 01:38:20.640
to what happened in California when we're talking earlier, but

1959
01:38:20.680 --> 01:38:23.439
we're talking about like ilhan Omar. Her district is made

1960
01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:28.119
up with largely Somalian immigrants. They have the power, they've

1961
01:38:28.119 --> 01:38:32.359
already they've already went ahead and shifted and tilted the

1962
01:38:32.479 --> 01:38:35.279
balance in their favor. Same thing that's happening in New

1963
01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:40.079
York under everyone's nose. You have this Muslim population that

1964
01:38:40.159 --> 01:38:43.520
has grown exponentially, just blown up, and now that you

1965
01:38:43.560 --> 01:38:45.680
have someone like Mandami, it's getting all of them to

1966
01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:48.600
come together and unite to cast their vote because they

1967
01:38:48.640 --> 01:38:49.960
know that they can, they.

1968
01:38:49.760 --> 01:38:51.279
Have the power to do so.

1969
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:53.239
So while they may have gotten what they voted for,

1970
01:38:53.560 --> 01:38:54.920
who voted for it?

1971
01:38:55.000 --> 01:38:57.039
Like? Who got what they voted for? That's another question.

1972
01:38:57.119 --> 01:38:59.359
That's what I'm saying, is that you don't have the

1973
01:38:59.359 --> 01:39:02.199
Republican Party or the Conservative Party or the Democrat Party

1974
01:39:02.199 --> 01:39:07.880
who's against even Mandami and the numbers enough to over over,

1975
01:39:07.960 --> 01:39:11.600
you knowwhelm that vote because people just don't get interested

1976
01:39:11.640 --> 01:39:13.800
about it. They're busy, Like me, like, when I get

1977
01:39:13.840 --> 01:39:16.399
done with this podcast, I got another podcast. I got

1978
01:39:16.439 --> 01:39:19.119
to prepare for tonight. You know, I'm having Aaron, you know,

1979
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:23.119
a repeat of Aaron that I did earlier, that I'm

1980
01:39:23.119 --> 01:39:24.880
doing but I got to do that. I've got stuff

1981
01:39:24.920 --> 01:39:26.720
that I got to do out of my yard. I've

1982
01:39:26.720 --> 01:39:28.840
got shopping to do, I've got this to do. Right,

1983
01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:31.439
people are so consumed with their own lives and go

1984
01:39:31.640 --> 01:39:34.960
so consumed with other things in their lives that that oh,

1985
01:39:35.039 --> 01:39:37.399
you know, this will take care of itself. Somebody will

1986
01:39:37.439 --> 01:39:39.960
vote him out or they'll be a pushback, and then

1987
01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:42.800
you wake up on the morning after the election, they're like,

1988
01:39:42.840 --> 01:39:46.279
oh my god, they fucking won, you know, and then

1989
01:39:46.439 --> 01:39:49.039
they're just going like, well, now what you know? So

1990
01:39:49.119 --> 01:39:52.159
I really believe that the political parties number one aren't

1991
01:39:52.199 --> 01:39:55.079
doing their job. Some of them do it better than others. Okay,

1992
01:39:55.159 --> 01:39:57.119
the Democrats are out there, they got a machine, they

1993
01:39:57.119 --> 01:40:00.199
know how to freaking run an election. And Democrats when

1994
01:40:00.199 --> 01:40:02.720
they get into like California here, or excuse me, the

1995
01:40:02.720 --> 01:40:06.159
Republicans when they talk about winning elections here in California,

1996
01:40:06.319 --> 01:40:09.000
just do not put out the effort to go ahead

1997
01:40:09.079 --> 01:40:12.800
and run a decent candidate, nor do they know how

1998
01:40:12.840 --> 01:40:15.479
to get their people involved enough to want to go

1999
01:40:15.520 --> 01:40:18.159
out and vote. So a lot of times, you know,

2000
01:40:18.279 --> 01:40:21.319
a lot of seats around here in California get get

2001
01:40:21.439 --> 01:40:24.920
uncontested because Republicans just says I'm not going to win,

2002
01:40:25.039 --> 01:40:28.319
so why run? You know. So you know, like I

2003
01:40:28.359 --> 01:40:30.239
said that, that's where I get my premise that you

2004
01:40:30.279 --> 01:40:32.920
get what you vote for because there's not enough base

2005
01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:36.640
or there's not enough enthusiasm of that candidate or that

2006
01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:40.159
or that party to move themselves forward. It's almost like

2007
01:40:40.159 --> 01:40:44.399
you get what you don't vote for. Yeah, right. You know.

2008
01:40:44.439 --> 01:40:46.960
The thing with we're talking about the youth in the

2009
01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:49.920
future is like the fact that someone like AOC who's

2010
01:40:50.199 --> 01:40:53.039
I mean, I hate to say it because sometimes she

2011
01:40:53.079 --> 01:40:55.520
actually has a sliver of genius, but a box of

2012
01:40:55.600 --> 01:40:59.760
rocks can literally become the representative in her district.

2013
01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:01.000
About my baby like.

2014
01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:04.560
That, and then the other the other one that's baffling me,

2015
01:41:04.640 --> 01:41:07.000
my brother and I on our other show all the time.

2016
01:41:07.079 --> 01:41:09.399
Hank Johnson, Oh my god, have you seen this guy? No?

2017
01:41:09.560 --> 01:41:10.720
Have I just encourage you to.

2018
01:41:10.720 --> 01:41:15.159
Look into representative Hank Johnson contract. There is absolutely no

2019
01:41:15.239 --> 01:41:18.199
reason this guy keeps getting re elected. I'm just gonna

2020
01:41:18.239 --> 01:41:21.159
leave that there. Just just looking at I guarantee you

2021
01:41:22.600 --> 01:41:24.359
it's gonna be amazing content for your shows.

2022
01:41:24.399 --> 01:41:25.119
You're gonna love it.

2023
01:41:25.399 --> 01:41:28.640
I'm gonna say that he takes the cake.

2024
01:41:29.479 --> 01:41:32.239
That's all I'm gonna say. And that's saying a lot. Right, Well,

2025
01:41:32.319 --> 01:41:35.399
you got to ask yourself, you know, Lori Lightfoot was

2026
01:41:35.439 --> 01:41:39.720
probably the worst worst mayor of Chicago in history, and

2027
01:41:39.760 --> 01:41:43.560
they turned around. Now they got Brandon Johnson. What do

2028
01:41:43.560 --> 01:41:46.039
you do that? How do you top Yeah? How do

2029
01:41:46.039 --> 01:41:48.640
you top that? See you see clip after clip after

2030
01:41:48.720 --> 01:41:54.520
clip of him in a city council meeting with his people. Oh,

2031
01:41:55.119 --> 01:41:57.920
going like, you're despectable, this is what you're doing, blah

2032
01:41:57.920 --> 01:42:00.640
blah blah blah blah blah. And then when they come

2033
01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:04.279
to want to, you know, elect the mayor, they elect somebody.

2034
01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:07.720
Even then, what they got rid of is I don't.

2035
01:42:07.560 --> 01:42:10.960
Even know what the thought processes behind the voters when

2036
01:42:10.960 --> 01:42:12.239
they like looked.

2037
01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:16.239
At that situation. I mean serious, I don't get it.

2038
01:42:16.319 --> 01:42:19.479
I don't get it. That's at all.

2039
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:23.960
We're not going to all right, sir? Do you want

2040
01:42:23.960 --> 01:42:26.119
to wrap this up? I think have some time.

2041
01:42:26.800 --> 01:42:28.319
You know, we're recording on a Sunday, so I got

2042
01:42:28.359 --> 01:42:31.159
football to watch. You know that the world, you know, goes.

2043
01:42:31.279 --> 01:42:35.199
My fantasy football is my fantasy football team is totally tanked.

2044
01:42:35.680 --> 01:42:37.239
What was your what was your team? By the way,

2045
01:42:37.680 --> 01:42:42.239
my team is the the Left Coast the Left Coast Burners,

2046
01:42:41.720 --> 01:42:46.520
then Left Coast Burners. I'm in John Jamigo's uh Boomer

2047
01:42:46.560 --> 01:42:50.760
Bunker's uh fantasy league, but my team is Miners. I'm

2048
01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:53.439
the Niner fan you're in. Yeah, I've been a Niner

2049
01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:56.199
fan forever. So, uh, you know, we'll see what happens today.

2050
01:42:56.239 --> 01:42:59.520
I I thoroughly think after Atlanta's showing the last game

2051
01:42:59.560 --> 01:43:02.520
that they have, uh, they're going to kick freaking Uh.

2052
01:43:02.640 --> 01:43:04.239
San Francisco's asked today.

2053
01:43:05.199 --> 01:43:07.399
The problem with Frisco, Man, I know we're not a

2054
01:43:07.399 --> 01:43:09.960
sports show, but let'st I'm a Niner fan. The problem

2055
01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:11.920
with the forty nine ers is how do we start

2056
01:43:11.960 --> 01:43:13.760
the year with all of our starters getting hurt?

2057
01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:16.600
Yeah, it's been. I don't get it, it's been. It's

2058
01:43:16.640 --> 01:43:19.439
been that. It's been that turnstile for three or four

2059
01:43:19.520 --> 01:43:20.640
years now, Yeah, it has.

2060
01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:23.399
And you know it's just so are we gonna we're

2061
01:43:23.399 --> 01:43:25.840
gonna start questioning the conditioning coaches?

2062
01:43:25.920 --> 01:43:29.000
Yet? I think so the dietitians. I mean, something's not working.

2063
01:43:29.439 --> 01:43:32.119
You've got you've got three hundred pound guys that are

2064
01:43:32.159 --> 01:43:35.159
running around doing, you know, doing what world class printers

2065
01:43:35.239 --> 01:43:38.399
used to do decade. You're right, So, I mean, you

2066
01:43:38.479 --> 01:43:41.119
know you've got that aspect, you know, inertia and connect

2067
01:43:41.239 --> 01:43:43.359
energy actually work, you.

2068
01:43:43.319 --> 01:43:46.840
Know, And you're correct, But come on, how many other

2069
01:43:46.880 --> 01:43:49.399
teams have this big of a percentage of their starters

2070
01:43:49.479 --> 01:43:50.119
hurt and on the.

2071
01:43:50.039 --> 01:43:53.199
Bench You'd be surprised. Man, there's a lot of people

2072
01:43:53.239 --> 01:43:55.479
out there. There's a lot of starters that are hurt,

2073
01:43:55.960 --> 01:43:59.119
and uh, it's just unfortunate that San Francisco just bears

2074
01:43:59.119 --> 01:44:00.920
the front of all of that. Like I said, probably

2075
01:44:01.000 --> 01:44:05.279
conditioning coach. Yeah, and even with the schedule that we had,

2076
01:44:05.880 --> 01:44:09.399
we had the we had the weakest schedule out of everybody,

2077
01:44:09.760 --> 01:44:13.199
and I just you know, I hope that Kittle coming

2078
01:44:13.199 --> 01:44:15.880
back today is going to make a difference. I hope.

2079
01:44:16.000 --> 01:44:18.760
I hope so too. Yeah, that does make a difference, Yes,

2080
01:44:19.199 --> 01:44:21.439
because I had I had the other tight end on

2081
01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:23.880
my on my team and they just seemed to forget

2082
01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:26.520
about them the last couple of weeks. And not that

2083
01:44:26.520 --> 01:44:30.119
it made any difference with my fantasy league, but it did. Well.

2084
01:44:30.479 --> 01:44:31.880
We can only we can only hope.

2085
01:44:32.000 --> 01:44:35.199
Hey, at least we have that, so you know, we're

2086
01:44:35.199 --> 01:44:37.000
going to take a break from politics and watch football.

2087
01:44:37.000 --> 01:44:38.840
Then we can argue NFL's not the politics anyway.

2088
01:44:38.840 --> 01:44:41.359
But and I gotta go from my traditional three hundred

2089
01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:44.680
dollars a week at Costco also today. Yeah, I hear that. Man.

2090
01:44:44.920 --> 01:44:46.479
All right, Bruce, thank you so much. Man.

2091
01:44:46.479 --> 01:44:48.479
Do you want you want to you have any parting words,

2092
01:44:48.520 --> 01:44:49.720
anything you want to say.

2093
01:44:49.920 --> 01:44:52.520
Just go on and and uh and and join us

2094
01:44:52.560 --> 01:44:55.279
on the weather View every morning from six am to

2095
01:44:55.279 --> 01:44:58.039
seven am on x spaces. All you got to do

2096
01:44:58.119 --> 01:45:00.399
is go down there and and follow any one of

2097
01:45:00.479 --> 01:45:04.319
us that you know there. And that's what we do.

2098
01:45:04.680 --> 01:45:07.079
That's my morning show. It's a little bit politically, a

2099
01:45:07.079 --> 01:45:10.119
little bit cultural, a little bit slapstick, and a lot

2100
01:45:10.119 --> 01:45:12.840
of bit of rudeness, but yeah, it's a good time.

2101
01:45:13.039 --> 01:45:15.800
And then The weather Report is our Sunday flagship show

2102
01:45:15.880 --> 01:45:19.079
that me and Can my co hosts get together and

2103
01:45:19.119 --> 01:45:22.279
we talk small business, entrepreneurship. We get into a little

2104
01:45:22.279 --> 01:45:25.039
bit of politics come around mid term time and general

2105
01:45:25.079 --> 01:45:27.319
election time, but for the most part, if you want

2106
01:45:27.359 --> 01:45:30.560
to know about entrepreneurism and stuff like that, then turn

2107
01:45:30.640 --> 01:45:32.880
into the Weather Report. That's what we do. And I

2108
01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:35.720
sent you the links for everything so you can go ahead.

2109
01:45:35.760 --> 01:45:36.920
But yeah, I got I got everything.

2110
01:45:36.920 --> 01:45:39.319
Everybody will. Everybody will definitely know where to find you.

2111
01:45:39.399 --> 01:45:41.279
Bruce will know where to find the Weather Report. They

2112
01:45:41.359 --> 01:45:44.920
know where to find the Weather View and what I

2113
01:45:44.960 --> 01:45:47.760
always do. Also, many people already know this. On my website,

2114
01:45:47.760 --> 01:45:49.760
You're going to have your own guest profile in the

2115
01:45:49.960 --> 01:45:51.600

2116
01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:54.000
