Transcript
- 0:05Speaker 1: It's seven six fifty five cars UD Talk Station. Always
- 0:09Speaker 1: love this time of the week, get to talk with
- 0:11Speaker 1: Jack Adam and the brilliance of Jack Addan and revealed
- 0:13Speaker 1: every week with the Big Picture. Jack Adathan, welcome back
- 0:16Speaker 1: to the fifty five Cassey Morning Show. My dear friend.
- 0:18Speaker 1: It is a distinct pleasure to be able to bring
- 0:20Speaker 1: you to my listening audience.
- 0:22Speaker 2: Thank you, Pal. We're all so glad that you're feeling better.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Jack, and I appreciate you reaching
- 0:27Speaker 1: out to me yesterday and asking I feel a million
- 0:29Speaker 1: times better than yesterday. So just take some passage of time,
- 0:32Speaker 1: get that keynot out of my system, and I guess
- 0:35Speaker 1: my brain is functioning. Is about as decent as it can,
- 0:37Speaker 1: which is always subject to limitations.
- 0:41Speaker 2: I'll try to keep up one literally done that makes
- 0:45Speaker 2: all of us feel bad as something I trusted a
- 0:47Speaker 2: few minutes ago. You stumble or stub your toe on
- 0:51Speaker 2: a piece of furniture every week at the beginning of
- 0:55Speaker 2: the old Dick Van Dyke Show, you remember you'd fall
- 0:57Speaker 2: over to footstool.
- 0:59Speaker 1: I did well immediately it was re run's Jack. I
- 1:02Speaker 1: don't want to I mean, I know how old I
- 1:03Speaker 1: am but I wasn't watching the original airings of the
- 1:06Speaker 1: Dick Van Dyke Show. I do remember that scene every
- 1:09Speaker 1: time the show often though.
- 1:11Speaker 2: I don't want to pull seniority on you, but yeah, yeah,
- 1:14Speaker 2: in real time, well Dick would immediately jump up, laugh
- 1:20Speaker 2: and hug his family. Well, not being as good natured
- 1:24Speaker 2: as Dick Van Dyke, you and I, Brian would probably
- 1:27Speaker 2: kick the Ottoman. It's irrational, it's even mean spirited, but
- 1:31Speaker 2: we kicked the stuffing out of that footstool, folks. I
- 1:35Speaker 2: think that's a key to America. In twenty twenty six,
- 1:39Speaker 2: millions of people, mostly Democrats, are kicking this stuffing out
- 1:44Speaker 2: of our country because they're filled with irrational, mean spirited,
- 1:48Speaker 2: self destructive rage. It wasn't always like this, even for
- 1:54Speaker 2: people who were a heck of a lot worse off
- 1:56Speaker 2: than we are. The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock and
- 1:59Speaker 2: Sit sixteen twenty and found nothing, just a lot of woods,
- 2:04Speaker 2: wild animals Indians. Instead of kicking something, they invited the
- 2:09Speaker 2: Indians to a Thanksgiving feast. They gave thanks to God
- 2:13Speaker 2: for getting them out of England, where they could have
- 2:15Speaker 2: been killed for refusing to join the established church headed
- 2:19Speaker 2: by the King. America at that time did not offer welfare,
- 2:25Speaker 2: free schooling, free housing, free anything other than whatever you
- 2:29Speaker 2: could hunt or grow for yourself. And yet the pilgrims
- 2:33Speaker 2: were brimming with gratitude, not rage. The same was true
- 2:38Speaker 2: for all the legal immigrants from all over the world
- 2:41Speaker 2: who freely chose to come here. Some of them believed
- 2:43Speaker 2: America's streets were paved with gold. When our ancestors found
- 2:48Speaker 2: they were not, they didn't burn everything down. They got
- 2:52Speaker 2: to work and achieved as much success as they chose
- 2:55Speaker 2: to work for. They realized that America is not the
- 2:59Speaker 2: land of guaranteed success. It's the land of opportunity, more
- 3:04Speaker 2: opportunity than they ever had back in the old country. Now,
- 3:08Speaker 2: slaves did not choose to come here, and you could
- 3:11Speaker 2: have forgiven them for being enraged. Many were, but most
- 3:16Speaker 2: were grateful when Lincoln and the North fought a civil
- 3:19Speaker 2: war to free them. And although full equality before the
- 3:23Speaker 2: law took far too long, leaders like doctor Martin Luther
- 3:27Speaker 2: King Junior challenged black people as well as white to
- 3:31Speaker 2: embrace the nineteen sixties Silver or Rights laws, not to
- 3:35Speaker 2: burn cities, but to assimilate and succeed to be judged
- 3:39Speaker 2: and rewarded as individuals, not as a victim group, on
- 3:43Speaker 2: the basis of their character, not the color of their skin.
- 3:48Speaker 2: Black families began fragmenting, with now seventy percent of children
- 3:53Speaker 2: born into households without a married father. Not after emancipation
- 3:57Speaker 2: and not during the Great Depression. Black fatherlessness exploded only
- 4:03Speaker 2: after Democrats in the nineteen sixties paid increased welfare to
- 4:07Speaker 2: mothers so long as there was no man living in
- 4:11Speaker 2: the house. We've often talked about this. This was democrats
- 4:15Speaker 2: social engineering, designed to destroy poor families of every race
- 4:20Speaker 2: and ethnicity and make them dependent on big government. Poverty
- 4:25Speaker 2: alone does not lead to rioting. During the Great Depression,
- 4:30Speaker 2: families of all races were starving, but they still pulled together.
- 4:35Speaker 2: In the nineteen thirties, crime actually dropped throughout the country.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Homicide rates fell by twenty percent. By the way, it's
- 4:44Speaker 2: no coincidence that the murder rate has also fallen by
- 4:48Speaker 2: the same twenty percent during the first year of Donald
- 4:51Speaker 2: Trump's second term. Why well, just as Franklin Roosevelt did
- 4:57Speaker 2: and Joe Biden never did, Trump is holding out hope
- 5:02Speaker 2: that America will grow again. It already is growing again.
- 5:05Speaker 2: And not just the stock market. New plants that would
- 5:08Speaker 2: have been built overseas are now being built here in
- 5:12Speaker 2: America thanks to trillions of dollars in foreign investment. While
- 5:16Speaker 2: almost all new jobs under Joe Biden were government jobs,
- 5:21Speaker 2: the latest staggering job number show that under Trump its
- 5:26Speaker 2: private companies that are creating new jobs, including manufacturing. Barack
- 5:31Speaker 2: Obama scoffed that it would take a magic wand to
- 5:34Speaker 2: bring these jobs back from communists. China had much higher wages,
- 5:38Speaker 2: but under Trump were once again becoming a nation of achievers,
- 5:43Speaker 2: not a nation of victims. Consumed with rage and rage
- 5:48Speaker 2: Brian over what After Marxists took over universities and culture
- 5:53Speaker 2: in the nineteen sixties, they stoked rage over race relations
- 5:58Speaker 2: and the Vietnam War. Then we saw rage and bra burning.
- 6:03Speaker 2: This really confused me as a kid by women, even
- 6:07Speaker 2: though millions of women opposed an equal rights constitutional amendment,
- 6:12Speaker 2: worried that women would be subject to the draft, although
- 6:16Speaker 2: that amendment was defeated. Women are they now serves today? No?
- 6:21Speaker 2: They outnumber men in college and in law school and
- 6:24Speaker 2: many other fields. The free market works. If we haven't
- 6:29Speaker 2: yet elected a female president, well, Brian, look at the
- 6:34Speaker 2: candidates be the crooked socialist Hillary Clinton, and I don't
- 6:40Speaker 2: have to say anything to explain this, Kamala Harris. We've
- 6:44Speaker 2: also seen rage over gay rights, which most Americans quickly embraced,
- 6:50Speaker 2: then transsexual rights, which Americans also embraced as long as
- 6:55Speaker 2: children were not being drugged or mutilated, and transsexuals did
- 7:00Speaker 2: not demand the right to play women's sports. And now
- 7:04Speaker 2: most sinned against of all, we have tens of millions
- 7:08Speaker 2: of illegal migrants, including child predators, drug dealers, gang members, killers.
- 7:15Speaker 2: Democrats are enraged that we wanted to port the worst
- 7:19Speaker 2: of them, as required by laws that were supported by
- 7:22Speaker 2: Democrats until Donald Trump became president. Brian, inclosing the Welsh
- 7:29Speaker 2: poet Dylan Thomas, writing about his dying father, summed up
- 7:34Speaker 2: modern outrage quote, do not go gentle into that good
- 7:39Speaker 2: night rage, rage against the dying of the light. I've
- 7:45Speaker 2: never understood this poem Dylan Thomas's father.
- 7:49Speaker 1: The fight off death.
- 7:51Speaker 2: It's about death, and that's fine. Rage against it.
- 7:53Speaker 1: Don't give into it, don't capitulate to it. Rage against
- 7:57Speaker 1: the machine, rage against it, rage against the dying of
- 8:00Speaker 1: the light.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, But to be enraged by something that we're
- 8:05Speaker 2: all going to face. Dylan Thomas's father did not die
- 8:08Speaker 2: at the hands of political foes or street thugs. He
- 8:12Speaker 2: did not even die tripping over an Ottoman in a
- 8:15Speaker 2: family of heavy smokers. The poet's father died from throat
- 8:19Speaker 2: cancer at age seventy six. That's terrible. I feel bad
- 8:23Speaker 2: about it. Dylan Thomas himself, who smoked like a chimney
- 8:26Speaker 2: and drank like a fish, also contracted throat cancer. Brian,
- 8:31Speaker 2: you and I are lucky, beyond any merit of our
- 8:34Speaker 2: own to have been born in America to loving parents.
- 8:38Speaker 2: We both still have our wonderful mothers, and we're married
- 8:42Speaker 2: to the best wives of the world. So when I'm faced,
- 8:45Speaker 2: as we all will be, by the dying of the Light,
- 8:49Speaker 2: I'll get the best treatment I can, the way you
- 8:52Speaker 2: have and the way Amesley did when she had cancer,
- 8:54Speaker 2: and I'll pray that she recovers. But if I am dying,
- 8:58Speaker 2: all I want to say is thank you God. I
- 9:01Speaker 2: won't be filled with rage. I'll be filled with gratitude,
- 9:05Speaker 2: as the overwhelming number of our fellow Americans should be. Meantime, friends,
- 9:11Speaker 2: use the time you have in the light to seize opportunity.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Work peacefully within the law to change things you feel
- 9:20Speaker 2: are unjust. And when you do trip over an Ottoman,
- 9:24Speaker 2: don't kick it, don't rage. Instead jump up like Dick
- 9:28Speaker 2: Van Dyke and hug your family.
- 9:31Speaker 1: What do you say, my Jevil, Use it as a
- 9:33Speaker 1: learning exercise and watch where you're walking. Jack. I gotta
- 9:40Speaker 1: go back to the point you made this whole idea.
- 9:42Speaker 1: It's this Trump's Arrangement Center. We can call it that.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Everybody knows what it is. But these policies that Trump
- 9:48Speaker 1: has embraced, strong on borders, deportations, these are literally things
- 9:53Speaker 1: that prior democratic administrations have embraced and campaigned on and
- 9:58Speaker 1: crowed about. Obama was deporter in chief and kicked more
- 10:02Speaker 1: people out of this country than any of the president
- 10:04Speaker 1: prior to him. And you know, I guess Donald Trump's
- 10:06Speaker 1: busily trying to catch up with Obama's record. You know,
- 10:09Speaker 1: how come it was okay then, not a single issue raised,
- 10:12Speaker 1: not a concern raised, what Obama did it? And now
- 10:15Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, we're all gonna die. This
- 10:17Speaker 1: is the most evil atrocity against humanity that everybody's ever known. Ah,
- 10:23Speaker 1: It's it's bizarre. They haven't. I mean this is just
- 10:26Speaker 1: a moment in time, in years ago in history when
- 10:29Speaker 1: they were embracing this strategy.
- 10:32Speaker 2: We forget ran is that people will forget that they'll
- 10:35Speaker 2: never learn. In the first place, they are catering to
- 10:38Speaker 2: the stupidest, most ignorant people in the country or people
- 10:41Speaker 2: who have an agenda, and that's the multi national corporations
- 10:45Speaker 2: we were talking about. By the way, a word about Obama.
- 10:47Speaker 2: He's getting tremendous credit for having deported millions of people,
- 10:53Speaker 2: but remember Obama was shipping people in. Remember the kids
- 10:57Speaker 2: on the top of the railroad cars that were coming
- 10:59Speaker 2: in from Mexico. That went on for two years, and then,
- 11:02Speaker 2: as Obama said, he took a shellacking in the midterms,
- 11:06Speaker 2: and that's when he changed those policies. There is one
- 11:09Speaker 2: person today who's expressing righteous anger, and I think that's
- 11:14Speaker 2: Marco Rubio. At the Munich Security Conference, our Secretary of
- 11:18Speaker 2: State called out Europeans for selling out Western civilization, western
- 11:24Speaker 2: values of tolerance and individual liberty by allowing Europe to
- 11:29Speaker 2: be overrun by Third World migrants who don't share those values,
- 11:33Speaker 2: who don't want to assimilate, they want a rule. But
- 11:37Speaker 2: Rubio could have added that America has done the same
- 11:41Speaker 2: thing under Democrats and establishment Republicans led by We've talked
- 11:46Speaker 2: about this before the Wall Street Journal, which proposed that
- 11:51Speaker 2: infamous five word constitutional amendment, there shall be open borders.
- 11:56Speaker 2: The journal was speaking for multinational corporations moving America's manufacturing
- 12:03Speaker 2: base to communists China because those businesses are more interested
- 12:07Speaker 2: in cheap labor than American jobs and national security. President Trump,
- 12:13Speaker 2: whether or not you like the way he puts it,
- 12:15Speaker 2: he's reversing this. Just last month, as I said, he
- 12:18Speaker 2: added one hundred and seventy two thousand new jobs, all
- 12:22Speaker 2: in a private sector, many in manufacturing, and at the
- 12:26Speaker 2: same time Trump cut another thirty four thousand government jobs.
- 12:32Speaker 2: The only jobs that Joe Biden created because all Joe
- 12:35Speaker 2: Biden and the Democrats and the establishment Republicans cared about
- 12:39Speaker 2: then was growing government and dependency on government by Americans
- 12:44Speaker 2: and tens of millions of illegal invaders.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Well you gain me a shot of optimism there, Jackie
- 12:50Speaker 1: Athern in four We part company this morning, and I
- 12:52Speaker 1: just got to ask you. Barack Obama took a shallocking
- 12:55Speaker 1: in the midterms, primarily at least in part because of
- 12:57Speaker 1: his border policies. Shipping a whole bunch of people in
- 12:59Speaker 1: only twose course and kick people out. Might that happen
- 13:03Speaker 1: again because Donald Trump is embracing a well a deporter
- 13:08Speaker 1: in chief type of policy that Obama embraced after taking
- 13:10Speaker 1: a shellacking. Maybe the American people are still on the
- 13:13Speaker 1: side of deportation for the worst of the worst among
- 13:15Speaker 1: us in this country. Maybe the other thing is that
- 13:18Speaker 1: we all embrace photo ID and think it's a pretty
- 13:20Speaker 1: good idea in spite of the fact that Democrats are
- 13:21Speaker 1: calling it Jim Crow two point zero, going back to
- 13:23Speaker 1: your point about people being ignorant and buying into that
- 13:26Speaker 1: stupid summary. Maybe people don't like they're young women playing
- 13:30Speaker 1: sports against men. They seem to be on the wrong
- 13:32Speaker 1: side of the equation on that issue as well. Many
- 13:34Speaker 1: reasons why the Democrats should not win in November. Maybe
- 13:38Speaker 1: they'll happen that way, Jack.
- 13:39Speaker 2: It may we don't all embrace photo I d Mitch McConnell,
- 13:44Speaker 2: who did embrace it for almost all of his career.
- 13:48Speaker 2: He's not coming out in favor of that right now
- 13:50Speaker 2: because who I said, we have a wing of the
- 13:52Speaker 2: Republican Party. We hear them from them on your show
- 13:56Speaker 2: quite a lot. That have Trump Arrangement centrome and don't
- 14:00Speaker 2: embrace policies that they had always supported. The biggest problem
- 14:04Speaker 2: that Trump is going to face is apathy on the
- 14:06Speaker 2: part of Republicans. Yep. The turnout numbers that we see,
- 14:09Speaker 2: and we talk about this every week because we have
- 14:11Speaker 2: to are just deplorable and not in the Hillary Clinton sense,
- 14:16Speaker 2: in the real sense, and well, and we just have
- 14:19Speaker 2: to get out, be nice, to get out for the
- 14:22Speaker 2: primaries and choose the Republican candidate that you want, who
- 14:26Speaker 2: is aligned with your values and who can also win.
- 14:30Speaker 2: But we got to get.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Out, get out and vote, you know, going back to
- 14:34Speaker 1: the rage against the dying of the light. If the
- 14:35Speaker 1: dying of the light is the dying of the freedom's
- 14:37Speaker 1: liberties and demonstrably better way our country presents in forms
- 14:42Speaker 1: of how a government should be run and how it
- 14:44Speaker 1: has been successfully run, then we need to rage against
- 14:47Speaker 1: the dying of the light, which is the well elimination
- 14:49Speaker 1: of it in favor of communism or socialism or whatever
- 14:52Speaker 1: kind of crap the Democrats are trying to shove down
- 14:54Speaker 1: our throats.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Jack.
- 14:55Speaker 1: My comment anyway, Jack Adan, I love you having becoming
- 14:58Speaker 1: on my program to Cancer Surviving wife, God bless her.
- 15:02Speaker 1: She is your better half and I appreciate your acknowledgment
- 15:04Speaker 1: on that. Love you brother. We'll talk again next Wednesday.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Have a great week.
