- 2:23Speaker 5: top of the hour news about Tommy Massey and Marjorie
- 2:26Speaker 5: Taylor Green frolicking on the beaches of Costa Rica. And
- 2:30Speaker 5: you know that's what it would be called if they
- 2:32Speaker 5: already hadn't been become anti Trump, so that now now
- 2:36Speaker 5: they're just two they're plotting whatever and the idea of
- 2:40Speaker 5: a third party. But Bob writes in, and he says, Joe,
- 2:45Speaker 5: who is then big enough to start a third party?
- 2:48Speaker 5: If Trump is the last one to have started a
- 2:50Speaker 5: third party by taking over the GOP, what is who
- 2:54Speaker 5: in the GOP can start a third party for the
- 2:57Speaker 5: old GOP. Yeah, it's not the news of the day,
- 3:01Speaker 5: but we can get into that abstract in a little bit.
- 3:05Speaker 5: But the duties call. Acting US Attorney Todd Blanch yesterday
- 3:10Speaker 5: announced the man whose viral video confronting ice officers in
- 3:16Speaker 5: New Jersey Thursday night and calling for her not just
- 3:20Speaker 5: the officer's death, but saying he was going to kill
- 3:23Speaker 5: his wife and children, has been arrested. Todd Blanche said,
- 3:28Speaker 5: think about how disgusting this individual is not just threatening
- 3:32Speaker 5: his life, but the lives of his wife and his children.
- 3:37Speaker 5: Here in Virginia, where this show comes from. We just
- 3:39Speaker 5: call that qualifications for being the Attorney General. Department of
- 3:44Speaker 5: Homeland Security has instructed federal immigration officers they are no
- 3:47Speaker 5: longer required to comply with state or local laws restricting
- 3:53Speaker 5: the use of face masks while carrying out their official duties.
- 3:56Speaker 5: The Fifteenth Memo from the Department's General Counts was issued
- 4:01Speaker 5: to respond to some of those very stories that you
- 4:05Speaker 5: saw out of New Jersey. You think the United States
- 4:09Speaker 5: has debt, we have a representative government because our credit
- 4:15Speaker 5: card debts have reached a record one point two five
- 4:19Speaker 5: trillion dollars just in the first quarter of twenty twenty six.
- 4:23Speaker 5: That's up six percent from the one point one eight
- 4:26Speaker 5: trillion for the same quarter of last year, according to
- 4:29Speaker 5: the Federal Reserve. At the same time, thirteen point one
- 4:32Speaker 5: to two percent of credit card balances are at least
- 4:36Speaker 5: ninety days to linquent. The American credit card much further
- 4:40Speaker 5: than that. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi met behind closed
- 4:45Speaker 5: doors with the House Oversight Committee. Democrat lawmakers ran out
- 4:50Speaker 5: to the media to say that she stayed tight lipped,
- 4:53Speaker 5: wouldn't answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein or why there wasn't
- 4:58Speaker 5: more transparency. Of course they did this behind closed doors
- 5:03Speaker 5: at their own request. Federal Judge Friday ordered that President
- 5:07Speaker 5: Trump's name be taken off the Kennedy Center for the

- 7:02Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
- 7:06Speaker 4: Yes?
- 7:07Speaker 7: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch and nitric
- 7:12Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
- 7:17Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

- 7:27Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
- 7:31Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
- 7:35Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
- 7:38Speaker 7: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in

- 8:06Speaker 7: of the few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on
- 8:11Speaker 7: the market. Hi, I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases
- 8:16Speaker 7: have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect
- 8:21Speaker 7: addition to any nutritional program. It makes sense to me
- 8:25Speaker 7: that preventing or reducing inflammation is a key component to
- 8:30Speaker 7: our overall health. The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can
- 8:34Speaker 7: decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties, and research suggests
- 8:40Speaker 7: that kurcumin can prevent cancer or at least slow the
- 8:44Speaker 7: spread of cancer, and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective.
- 8:49Speaker 7: It protects our healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness

- 10:15Speaker 9: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 9: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search

- 10:25Speaker 9: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 9: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 9: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Dogs keep us.
- 10:35Speaker 10: Safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from pts.
- 10:39Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 9: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 9: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 9: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 12:54Speaker 15: Treatment works recovery is possible.
- 13:17Speaker 5: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today,
- 13:28Speaker 5: So who has the gravitas. This is just started just
- 13:32Speaker 5: as an adjunct because Tommy Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green
- 13:37Speaker 5: have been spotted by I guess TMZ frolicking on the
- 13:40Speaker 5: beaches of Costa Rica together. If Marjorie Taylor Green or
- 13:45Speaker 5: Tommy Massey could frolic right, the mere vision of it
- 13:49Speaker 5: is crippling in a great degree. But the question third
- 13:53Speaker 5: party question mark, and we've seen this on statewide levels.
- 13:57Speaker 5: When Ken Kochinelli, the former DHS secretary, he was running
- 14:02Speaker 5: for governor, and he was running for the Republican Party nomination,
- 14:06Speaker 5: but apparently in a conversation unbeknownst to Ken, a deal
- 14:10Speaker 5: had been struck between the Lieutenant governor and the previous
- 14:14Speaker 5: Attorney General that the AG would run for governor and
- 14:18Speaker 5: the LG would wait another four years. So when Ken
- 14:22Speaker 5: Kuchinelli announced he was running, he wasn't supposed to be.
- 14:26Speaker 5: The party had promised Bill Bolding was the Lieutenant governor's name,
- 14:32Speaker 5: And so he laughed and started what he called the
- 14:35Speaker 5: Main Street Republicans, and it did nothing more than peel
- 14:39Speaker 5: ten or soe percentage points off of Ken Kuchinelli and
- 14:47Speaker 5: delivered for Virginia, Terry mcculloffs governorship. And this is often
- 14:51Speaker 5: where you see these third party in inflections, is you
- 14:55Speaker 5: will find money from the second party. It's like you
- 15:01Speaker 5: want to talk about a Marxist scheme, it's Groucho Marxist.
- 15:04Speaker 5: It's the party of the first part says the party
- 15:07Speaker 5: of the second part cannot invite me to the party
- 15:09Speaker 5: of the fourth part. It's the sanity clause. So most
- 15:18Speaker 5: of these third parties, all they do is you ruin
- 15:22Speaker 5: something for usually a Republican ross Perot's insurgency in nineteen
- 15:30Speaker 5: ninety two, for example, taking votes away from George Herbert
- 15:37Speaker 5: Walker Bush because ross Pero didn't think he was governing
- 15:41Speaker 5: the country correctly, or Bill Clinton paid him to do it.
- 15:45Speaker 5: You choose, because there's never really been a serious third
- 15:50Speaker 5: party attempt. The third party attempts have all been of
- 15:53Speaker 5: the nature of, hey, if we pay you money, pretend
- 15:56Speaker 5: you're a third party, so you'll sap votes away from
- 15:59Speaker 5: the other guy. So there has to be And if
- 16:05Speaker 5: you look at the history of new parties in the
- 16:07Speaker 5: United States, even before the Republicans and Democrats enjoyed this
- 16:13Speaker 5: government anointed permanent ballot access in so many places, so
- 16:19Speaker 5: they can act like King and Queen makers. The Democratic
- 16:24Speaker 5: Party was started by Thomas Jefferson as esteemed a figure
- 16:29Speaker 5: in public places as there was at the time seventeen
- 16:34Speaker 5: eighty nine seventeen ninety nine, and the Republican Party was
- 16:40Speaker 5: actually a single issue operation started in Wisconsin to oppose slavery. Now,
- 16:51Speaker 5: I suggested, when asked about the possibility of a third party,
- 16:54Speaker 5: maybe Tommy Massey and Marjorie Taylor Green can call the
- 17:01Speaker 5: new party the Democratic Republican Party, because you know there's
- 17:05Speaker 5: going to be a lot of Republicans who want to
- 17:07Speaker 5: vote like Democrats. The Democratic Party dropped the Republican part
- 17:15Speaker 5: probably around the time the Republican Party started in Wisconsin.
- 17:24Speaker 5: But it has to be somebody of serious gravitas. Trump
- 17:27Speaker 5: had serious gravitas, and instead of starting a third party,
- 17:31Speaker 5: he brought his third party and invaded and took over
- 17:36Speaker 5: the Republican Party. And this goes to what's happening in Texas.
- 17:40Speaker 5: This poll that came out of Texas that was done
- 17:48Speaker 5: literally the day after the runoff was finished, Texas Public
- 17:55Speaker 5: Opinion Research Tallarico leading Attorney General Ken Paxton forty seven
- 18:01Speaker 5: to forty three straight up. The poll says a significant
- 18:08Speaker 5: percentage of Republican voters who voted for Senator John Cornyn
- 18:15Speaker 5: now plan to vote for tall Rico, the poll report says.
- 18:22Speaker 5: According to the poll, one and almost one out of three,
- 18:26Speaker 5: which means twenty nine percent of Cornyan runoff voters say
- 18:32Speaker 5: they would vote for Taller Rico, forty four percent said
- 18:36Speaker 5: they would vote for Paxton. Twenty three percent remain undecided
- 18:42Speaker 5: or say they will not vote. That's the dangerous part.
- 18:46Speaker 5: How much of that twenty three percent were the ones
- 18:49Speaker 5: saying they're just not going to vote? And why do
- 18:56Speaker 5: they do things like tag you with, Oh, he's a
- 18:59Speaker 5: serial adulterer? Is what I heard One talk show host
- 19:03Speaker 5: refer to John Paxton as ken paston, as he had
- 19:11Speaker 5: one of his wives sued for divorce citing marital infidelity adultery.
- 19:17Speaker 5: In Texas, the laws are a little different than they
- 19:20Speaker 5: are in a lot of other places regarding what adultery is,
- 19:23Speaker 5: how divorce proceedings have to go forward, that kind of thing.
- 19:28Speaker 5: And the indictments and the impeachments were just that, just
- 19:31Speaker 5: like Donald Trump's indictments and impeachments, none of them ever
- 19:34Speaker 5: turned into a conviction. Most of them were dismissed wholeheartedly
- 19:39Speaker 5: talk about Gene Carroll, etc. But because the TV news
- 19:45Speaker 5: anchors to say, well, he was indicted for that's all
- 19:49Speaker 5: people here, because we think indicted means convicted. And if
- 19:56Speaker 5: you bring up the fact that most law enforcement officers say,
- 20:00Speaker 5: if you are artful enough in writing your subpoena, you
- 20:03Speaker 5: can indict a ham Sandwich. But this is what is
- 20:13Speaker 5: driving people to say, are their third parties because there
- 20:18Speaker 5: are people who just you know, like John Cornyn because
- 20:20Speaker 5: he used to bring stuff back to Texas. We're running
- 20:25Speaker 5: out of stuff. I hate to tell you this. For
- 20:27Speaker 5: the people who like free stuff from the government, we're
- 20:32Speaker 5: running out of it. And so therefore we need to
- 20:35Speaker 5: stop rewarding the people who think their only job in
- 20:39Speaker 5: elected office is to bring pork back to the districts.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Because the pig is about to die. The pig's been
- 20:46Speaker 5: taking its GLP one meds and has lost a ton
- 20:50Speaker 5: of weight. But I don't see a third party establishing.
- 20:57Speaker 5: You know, we're watching Bernie Sanders do the same thing
- 21:00Speaker 5: to the Democrat Party that Donald Trump did to the
- 21:02Speaker 5: Republican He brought people who had felt ignored by the
- 21:08Speaker 5: political establishment into the party They liked all the new
- 21:12Speaker 5: voters until the new voters started voting for people they
- 21:15Speaker 5: didn't like. Same things happening in the Democrats. They're getting
- 21:21Speaker 5: dragged further and further to the communists left. Not that
- 21:24Speaker 5: there isn't a communist party in the United States, but
- 21:28Speaker 5: the word, the word communist has just doesn't sit right
- 21:33Speaker 5: with Americans still to this day. Redistribution reparation, oh, we'll
- 21:40Speaker 5: all for that absolutely, and being anti Trump, of course.
- 21:45Speaker 5: So that's where the aocs and the ilhan Omars and
- 21:48Speaker 5: the Jayapals and all these people are in Taller Rico.
- 21:52Speaker 5: They're in the new Bernie Sanders Democrat Party, just like
- 21:55Speaker 5: there's a new Donald Trump Republican Party. Maybe they're the
- 21:59Speaker 5: other one and start a party.

- 23:10Speaker 3: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
- 23:14Speaker 3: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:16Speaker 3: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:20Speaker 3: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
- 23:23Speaker 3: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26Speaker 3: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29Speaker 3: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31Speaker 3: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
- 23:35Speaker 3: The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well.
- 23:38Speaker 3: With carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:41Speaker 3: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:44Speaker 3: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
- 23:46Speaker 3: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
- 23:50Speaker 3: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.

- 28:57Speaker 5: Tell me that we're still not doing this connect Quad
- 29:01Speaker 5: High School and the Thunderbirds or changing their name, and
- 29:05Speaker 5: now they're in court and I thought this was so
- 29:09Speaker 5: twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, Long Island's Connect quadt School District
- 29:18Speaker 5: has been referred to the Department of Justice for violating
- 29:21Speaker 5: federal civil rights law by changing the name of their
- 29:27Speaker 5: sports team from the Thunderbirds to the Tea Birds. Served Friday,
- 29:33Speaker 5: with federal review conducted by the Office of Civil Rights
- 29:36Speaker 5: found the district's flouted Title six of the Civil Rights
- 29:42Speaker 5: Act when changing the name to Ta Birds after the
- 29:46Speaker 5: district changed its Native American mascot in response to state
- 29:51Speaker 5: regulations determined to be discriminatory. And when did that? You
- 29:57Speaker 5: know it's I'll be the first to tell you. I've
- 30:04Speaker 5: spent you know, you get out, and I know folks
- 30:07Speaker 5: in the Shinnecock tribe. I've worked with folks in the
- 30:11Speaker 5: Shinnecock tribe high up in the Shinnecock tribe. And I
- 30:17Speaker 5: don't know a man, woman, or child that thought that,
- 30:20Speaker 5: you know, a school district bearing the name or imagery
- 30:24Speaker 5: of any even division of their own nation was discriminatory.
- 30:30Speaker 5: None of them brought these suits. It was middle aged
- 30:33Speaker 5: Caucasian women who felt like, you know, yeah, my son's
- 30:37Speaker 5: not a thunderbird, he's a Maybe maybe they should have
- 30:42Speaker 5: ditched the imagery and just gone to the little Marionette
- 30:45Speaker 5: show from the sixties show of hands. Who remembers the
- 30:52Speaker 5: Thunderbirds Marionette show? I had, you know, Corgy. I think
- 30:58Speaker 5: it was Corgy made all all of the ships. You
- 31:02Speaker 5: could collect all the ships but regardless, Kimberly Ritchie, Assistant
- 31:09Speaker 5: Secretary for Civil Rights, said, Connectcot has not taken the
- 31:14Speaker 5: steps necessary to come into compliance with federal civil rights law.
- 31:20Speaker 5: It's neither fair nor lawful to permit certain national origin
- 31:24Speaker 5: based names and mascots while erasing others. And we're now
- 31:29Speaker 5: referring the matter to the Department of Justice for further
- 31:33Speaker 5: Come on, folks, I mean, so, so now t birds
- 31:37Speaker 5: isn't sufficient if there what if their mascot was some
- 31:42Speaker 5: guy with a duck's ass haircut, greased back in a
- 31:46Speaker 5: leather jacket. Huh? What if you got the local Ford dealer?
- 31:53Speaker 5: I think I think that's the Thunderbird is still being
- 31:57Speaker 5: sold by Ford. It's electric though maybe that's what they
- 32:01Speaker 5: did to the Mustang after gelding it. It's just I
- 32:08Speaker 5: love the smell of face palm in the morning. So
- 32:12Speaker 5: we left off at the news break talking about third
- 32:17Speaker 5: parties and what happens to all the people who are
- 32:21Speaker 5: left over. So Donald Trump took over the Republican Party.
- 32:24Speaker 5: He started a third party by bringing all the people,
- 32:27Speaker 5: the blue collar people who felt like neither party was
- 32:30Speaker 5: listening to them into the Republican Party. And Ryan's previous
- 32:36Speaker 5: at al were like, oh my gosh, look at all
- 32:38Speaker 5: these great new voters until they voted for Donald Trump
- 32:41Speaker 5: and then started for voting for people that supported Donald
- 32:45Speaker 5: Trump's agenda of smaller government, lower taxes, less invasive regulations,
- 32:53Speaker 5: those kind of things. And the same is happening in
- 32:59Speaker 5: the Democratic Party. You've got the left wing Marxists of
- 33:03Speaker 5: Bernie Sanders, AOC, James Tallerico, these folks, so there are there,
- 33:12Speaker 5: So what happens to the Centrists? And I suggested this
- 33:17Speaker 5: to hamp On his original text message strength, Maybe we
- 33:21Speaker 5: call the party the Democratic Republicans because they were people
- 33:25Speaker 5: that at any given moment might vote like a Republican
- 33:27Speaker 5: or a Democrat of the old school, just vote for
- 33:30Speaker 5: the big government. You know. They won't call themselves the
- 33:33Speaker 5: big government party because that would be too obvious. That
- 33:37Speaker 5: would be like calling themselves the thunderbirds. So they they're
- 33:44Speaker 5: going to maybe make a third party. But you need
- 33:49Speaker 5: somebody with gravity. And during the break Marshall wrote in
- 33:53Speaker 5: he said, what about Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage is not
- 33:56Speaker 5: somebody of anything more than political gad fly status. He's
- 34:02Speaker 5: not a big famous person like Thomas Jefferson certainly, and
- 34:09Speaker 5: he reminds me that the Republican Party really didn't start
- 34:13Speaker 5: resonating until Lincoln. But having political gravitas in England is
- 34:25Speaker 5: different than having political gravitas here. Here, the Republican and
- 34:29Speaker 5: Democratic parties have automatic ballot access. I mean, they rule
- 34:34Speaker 5: the roost. There are so many government obscurements that create
- 34:41Speaker 5: this permanent fourth and fifth branch of government, the Republican
- 34:46Speaker 5: branch and the Democratic Party branch, that you would really
- 34:50Speaker 5: have to reform. And you know the things I would
- 34:53Speaker 5: reform first, I personally would go to George Mason, George
- 34:58Speaker 5: Washington style representation. But for now I'll be satisfied with
- 35:04Speaker 5: going back to the kind of representation before the nineteen
- 35:07Speaker 5: twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment Act, because then, guess what smaller
- 35:13Speaker 5: congressional districts means, maybe a third party rises up there.
- 35:18Speaker 5: Because that's what Nigel Farage did with reform. He didn't
- 35:23Speaker 5: try to win Prime minister right out of the box.
- 35:26Speaker 5: He said, let's win all the local elections. Let's take
- 35:30Speaker 5: over for the sake of argument, your county supervisors, your
- 35:33Speaker 5: school boards, your city councils. Let's get those first, and
- 35:40Speaker 5: then we'll build off those. We'll use those coattails to
- 35:45Speaker 5: step to parliamentary positions and a different constitution than the
- 35:49Speaker 5: United States, surely, But so you can do it with
- 35:54Speaker 5: somebody who's not necessarily this huge figure like a Nigel Farage,
- 35:58Speaker 5: but he's no old He led Brexit. They haven't finished
- 36:03Speaker 5: Brexit yet, which is part of why he's trying to
- 36:05Speaker 5: come back. But there's no the George Bush family is
- 36:12Speaker 5: That's where it's going to come from. The Clinton's. What
- 36:15Speaker 5: is Chelsea going to do something? You have people who
- 36:20Speaker 5: are adjunct to the Clintons, the axel Rods, the mccauliffe's.
- 36:29Speaker 5: Obama is in with the Bernie Sanders crowd. I mean
- 36:32Speaker 5: they're they're pushing the Democratic Party further left. So he's
- 36:37Speaker 5: fine with this new Marxist Democrat Party. So who's out there?
- 36:43Speaker 5: As does Gavin Newsom decide I'm not going to get
- 36:46Speaker 5: the nomination because I'm not dei enough that he joins
- 36:51Speaker 5: in And would that make any Republican want to join?
- 36:57Speaker 5: What about a Cuomo? They're all tainted pretty badly, but
- 37:04Speaker 5: in a lot of ways, no more so than Ken Paxton.
- 37:09Speaker 5: Right then you've got celebrities like a George Clooney or
- 37:20Speaker 5: pick Matthew McConaughey, who have espoused certain political interests, but
- 37:28Speaker 5: again they don't come to the gravity level of a
- 37:31Speaker 5: Jefferson or a Lincoln. And as long as you have
- 37:37Speaker 5: the permanent ballot placement for the two Republican and Democratic parties,
- 37:43Speaker 5: you're really only going to play a spoiler role. And
- 37:48Speaker 5: maybe that's what they're talking about, is we'll start a
- 37:51Speaker 5: Democratic Republican party to take fifteen percent away from all,
- 37:55Speaker 5: But you're just going to bring Bernie Sanders and AOC
- 37:58Speaker 5: into power. Then that's all. Can you believe?
- 38:02Speaker 18: With all the recent violent protests, looting, and destruction, some
- 38:06Speaker 18: areas are considering either defunding or abolishing the police. At
- 38:11Speaker 18: a time when America's neighborhoods need the protection of police

- 45:45Speaker 5: a joke in the first place. Let's take a tour
- 45:49Speaker 5: of Memphis, Tennessee and the homeless encampment outside of the
- 45:54Speaker 5: Memphis FED I kid you not, downtown Memphis, Tennessee Federal
- 46:00Speaker 5: Reserve in the shadow of the river, right there, overlooking
- 46:04Speaker 5: the river. Every night, huge homeless encampment out in front
- 46:08Speaker 5: of the FED. I think there's a if Norman Rockwell
- 46:14Speaker 5: still exists today, that would be a portrait he would
- 46:17Speaker 5: have to put on the front of Saturday Evening Post.
- 46:22Speaker 5: But one point twenty five trillion dollars in debt that
- 46:25Speaker 5: we own, whether it be mortgages, student loans, or credit
- 46:30Speaker 5: card Yet Americans, oh one point two five trillion dollars.
- 46:36Speaker 5: So if you divide one point twenty five trillion dollars
- 46:40Speaker 5: by the two hundred and eighty seven million American adults,
- 46:45Speaker 5: it's a total debt of four thousand, three hundred and
- 46:49Speaker 5: fifty five dollars and forty cent. You look at it
- 46:54Speaker 5: that way, Okay, that's not so, which means to me
- 46:56Speaker 5: that there are a lot of people like you that,
- 46:59Speaker 5: you know, hang hang Dave Ramsey out to, you know,
- 47:03Speaker 5: on the flagpole every morning and do his debt snowball
- 47:07Speaker 5: and all of that. But the point I was trying
- 47:15Speaker 5: to make is that there are more Americans than there
- 47:21Speaker 5: are not Americans that have debt. So when you know,
- 47:26Speaker 5: somebody comes in and makes the case we need to
- 47:28Speaker 5: stop deficit spending, most Americans are of the mind. Why
- 47:35Speaker 5: at this point we say why I needed something, so
- 47:40Speaker 5: I went and bought it. I've got my Low's credit
- 47:42Speaker 5: card guiltiest charge. My washing machine cratered itself, and I
- 47:49Speaker 5: didn't have an envelope with enough dollar bills in it
- 47:52Speaker 5: to go buy a new washing machine, so I had to,
- 47:55Speaker 5: you know, pick it up. We're paying it off fast
- 47:59Speaker 5: so that we you know, because Lowe's had this deal
- 48:01Speaker 5: on no interest, but they're not paying for that promo.
- 48:04Speaker 5: So forget I said anything. But when most Americans are
- 48:14Speaker 5: carrying a considerable debt, whether it be credit card, student loan,
- 48:19Speaker 5: whatever it may be, even medical, how are we going
- 48:23Speaker 5: to ask politicians to run the US budget any differently?
- 48:31Speaker 5: And it could be chicken and egg. Maybe we started
- 48:34Speaker 5: getting heavily into debt so we stopped caring if the
- 48:37Speaker 5: government was heavily in debt. But let's not forget. This
- 48:41Speaker 5: begins with Lyndon Johnson. The Great Society is a program
- 48:50Speaker 5: of government aid for people who haven't put anything into
- 48:54Speaker 5: the government to get aid back from, and so it
- 48:58Speaker 5: created an indebted far In your time.
- 49:02Speaker 21: We have the opportunity to move not only towards the
- 49:05Speaker 21: rich society and the powerful society, but upward to the
- 49:11Speaker 21: Great Society.
- 49:13Speaker 5: And when he said that in nineteen sixty four and
- 49:16Speaker 5: launched it, that was in Michigan University of Michigan commencement.
- 49:22Speaker 5: But then he goes to the once he's field tested
- 49:25Speaker 5: the Great Society out, he takes it to Congress and
- 49:27Speaker 5: it becomes the State of the Union, and Johnny barred
- 49:31Speaker 5: the door. We started all these entitlement programs. And it's
- 49:36Speaker 5: not that I'm trying to be mean spirit about the
- 49:39Speaker 5: entitlement programs. I'm just trying to point out to you
- 49:41Speaker 5: that outside of the word welfare existing in the preamble
- 49:51Speaker 5: of the US Constitution, you know how it goes, we
- 49:54Speaker 5: the people, in order to form a more perfect union,
- 49:58Speaker 5: established justice, and in your domestic tranquility, provide for the
- 50:03Speaker 5: common defense, and promote the general welfare, and promote the
- 50:08Speaker 5: blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain
- 50:14Speaker 5: and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
- 50:19Speaker 5: Show of hands. Anyone who's my age or even just
- 50:22Speaker 5: a little bit younger still hears the music playing in
- 50:25Speaker 5: the background from the Schoolhouse Rock episode that did that,
- 50:30Speaker 5: or remembers William Shatner reciting it to the Yangs so
- 50:39Speaker 5: Lyndon Johnson takes the idea of promoting the general welfare
- 50:43Speaker 5: and says, how about we give welfare to be fair.
- 50:46Speaker 5: FDRs started the idea of giving welfare, that's why they
- 50:50Speaker 5: call it welfare, so that you can fare well. The
- 50:56Speaker 5: Constitution was saying we have to protect your ability to
- 51:00Speaker 5: live well, not created out of whole cloth. So by
- 51:10Speaker 5: nineteen seventy two, the gold supply has been stretched to
- 51:14Speaker 5: its breaking point, and the Nixon administration didn't want to
- 51:18Speaker 5: cut the entitlement programs that after what eight years, we
- 51:23Speaker 5: had grown so used to, so they lift the gold
- 51:26Speaker 5: standard and now we're just printing money. A dollar bill
- 51:32Speaker 5: had the buying power of a dime comparatively now to then,
- 51:38Speaker 5: things that you could buy with a dime in nineteen
- 51:42Speaker 5: sixty four you now need a dollar to pay for.
- 51:51Speaker 5: So it's not something that Joe Biden created or Donald
- 51:56Speaker 5: Trump created, though there are conservatives so like hold it.
- 51:59Speaker 5: What happened into being concerned with the national debt? I
- 52:03Speaker 5: will remind you. In twenty sixteen, during a presidential debate
- 52:08Speaker 5: with Rand Paul, the issue of the debt came up,
- 52:11Speaker 5: and Donald Trump said to all the cameras and all included.
- 52:16Speaker 5: He said, I don't have a problem working with debt.
- 52:20Speaker 5: Debt is just a tool that you use to get things.
- 52:27Speaker 5: He said it out loud, and we voted for him.
- 52:31Speaker 5: Maybe people forgot that he said that. Hamp And on
- 52:37Speaker 5: the Treasure Coach said, you need to have a lot
- 52:39Speaker 5: of gold unless you're in the CIA, of course, referring
- 52:43Speaker 5: to the Virginia CIAI officer that storage shed with four
- 52:47Speaker 5: hundred million dollars in gold bars in it. You know,
- 52:51Speaker 5: it's true.
- 52:52Speaker 2: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 52:55Speaker 2: to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 52:57Speaker 2: our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
- 53:00Speaker 2: are joining meta share right now. Metas Share is a
- 53:04Speaker 2: trusted way to save up to fifty percent on your
- 53:07Speaker 2: monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have

- 53:14Speaker 2: now during this challenging season with healthcare costs and out
- 53:17Speaker 2: of pocket expenses.
- 53:18Speaker 1: Going up.
- 53:19Speaker 2: Meta share can save you a lot of money. The
