  Speaker 1: American Ground Radio, crafted with genuine American parts, powered by patriots,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: driven by the heart and soul of the American dream,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and now one hundred tariff free. We choose to go
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to the moon and do the other thing, not because
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: they are easy, but because they are hard. It is
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: time for us to realize that we're too great a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: nation to limit ourselves to small dreams.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I have a dream that one day this nation will
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: rise up, live out the true meaning of its cream.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: American Ground Radio with Lewis har Avlone and Stephen f.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: One. This is American Ground Radio. Stephen Farmer, Lewis.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: Sar Well, Good Thursday to everyone. You know what what's up.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: It's almost the weekend. We've had this debate.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: We've had this debate. It's almost the day before the weekend.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely right.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: But you know what, I'll say this and then we'll
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: get right into the show.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: You know, there are some folks. You know, this is
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: going to get me into a lot of trouble.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Oh good, But you know there's some folks that say, oh,
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: we're only one day from the weekend, and these are
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: good people.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of people I like you just
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: said that no, no, but I just start off this show.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: It's almost the weekend, and it's kind of out of
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: character for me because I did.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Except that you did it last week too.
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: But you know what, I try to be fun, you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, but my point is, my point is not
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: that you can't have fun, okay, But I don't think
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: that we ought to be focused on spending five days
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: out of the week. Huh, talking about how we're going
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: to live or enjoy two days out of the week.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: So I think it's like everybody's working for the weekend.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: You don't like that song. I mean, it's a good song, okay,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: but it's not a good philosophy for life, I don't
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: think so.
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: I think we need to live each day to the fullest, enjoy,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: get all of the joy that is in life. And yeah,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: there are some nasty things too, don't get me wrong.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm reading Ecclesiastes right now, and it can't
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: be a bit of a depressing book because he just
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: keeps going, everything is vanity. Everything's vanity, doesn't mean but
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: he does say in Ecclesiastes, he says you're supposed to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: enjoy your work, might as well enjoy your work because
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: everything else is vapor everything else is going to diminish.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: But your work is important, so make sure you enjoy
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: your work. And look, that's biblical. Now, yes, it also
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to take the savage, you're supposed to rest,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: and you're supposed to look back on what it was
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: you built. That's what God did on the seventh day.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: He built the universe in the first six days, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: on the seventh day he rested and looked back. Wing
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you know what, I did a pretty good job. It's
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: not that he was working for the first six days
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and he gets to the fifth thing and you're like, oh, man,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: one day out and then I can rest. So that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I think that's part of what you're saying. I am
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: absolutely just you know, what is that what you're wanting
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: to talk about us we started the show.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: No, no, I'm just saying, you know it, there is
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: something special about the weekend. I mean there is, I
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: mean Friday. Now I say there's something special about Friday.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I'm getting way off topic here because what I really
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: wanted to talk about.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: So you like the song Friday I'm in Love. Not
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: everybody's working for the.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Week, but Friday in love? What is that?
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: It's by the Cure Friday, I'm in love. Maybe I've
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: heard it, Maybe I've heard it. I guarantee you've heard
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: this Friday, I'm in love by the Cure. Okay, we're
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: gonna have to during the break, we're gonna get the song.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: We come in playing it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: We can't come in play We'll get kicked off.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Yet we'll do it anyway.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: Okay, Listen, what I really wanted to talk about here
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: is how Louisiana is preparing to tell every public school
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: student from kindergarten through high school to read one complete
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: work of classic literature every day, every day. Absolutely not
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: every day, every year, every year. Yeah, And I think
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: the most revealing word in that is in that sentence
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: maybe one.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Are we gonna talk about this later on in the show? Y?
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Is it a bright spot?
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: No, it's it's our, it's our. It's a coming up
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: next block.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Man, you're killing me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: You're just killing me me, busting my maybe about the
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: weekend and now you're I mean, we could talk about
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: this later on. This is just kind of a tease,
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: I mean about how Louisiana is focusing more on education
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: and look, don't make any mistake in in in understanding
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: that focusing more on education has a direct correlation. I
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: believe to being more pro business or pro you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: business friendly, having a business friendly environment.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Look if you look at what's happening in Louisiana in
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the last couple of years. Since since we've been able
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to have Jeff Landry come in as governor, we got
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: rid of John Bell Edwards, you know, he retired, phased out,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: term limited out. Since then, we've started having a population
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: growth in Louisiana. We were losing population for essentially every
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: single year that John Bell Edwards was governor. We changed governors,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: we start going the population well, that growth in population
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: actually changed after and I got to give credit where
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: credits due John Bell Edwards. The very best decision he
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: made in his eight years in office was to name
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Kate Brumley as the super the intendent of the Board
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: of Elementary and Secondary Education, to make to make Cad
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Bromley the number one guy for the state of Louisiana.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I think that one decision did a try a tremendous
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: amount of good for our state, because since Kate Brumley
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: came in, we started turning education around. Before Kate Brumley,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Louisiana was always like, thank God for Mississippi, because Mississippi
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: is sitting right below us. Otherwise we'd be fifty out
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: of fifty. As it is, we're forty nine. Ye huh.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: We were always like, thank God for vait a minute,
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: who is talking like that? I don't know is that
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Mississippi people now? Or are you talking about some It's Louisiana. Now,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: let us know Louisiana people that speak like that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: D Dan, Dan don't gone down ding ding dona, don't
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: even ain't down for middby.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: No, just just stop right there. I tell you what,
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: I tell you what. Let's switch gears here. Uh, President Trump,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: did you see Governor Landry was at the White House?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Uh with President Trump?
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Again?
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: Well, President Trump announced that twenty three governors have signed
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: his pledge that seeks to protect households from absorbing absorbing
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: utility costs tied to data centers. And again the Republican
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: governors all, well, of course I kind of let on.
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: All of the governors that signed on were Republicans.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And in that weird you've got Democrat governors that
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: are saying, Kathy Hockle, we are gonna ban data centers
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: because they will raise prices for electricity. And then you've
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: got governors in Republican states going, we're not banning data centers,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: We're just gonna make them pay for the electricity they're using.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Like Donald Trump asked Kathy Hokel, Democrat governors are so
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: full of hate for Donald Trump that they don't even
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: want to help their own citizens by allowing data centers
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to come in and allow them to get jobs, allow
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: them to get tax revenue, tremendous amounts of tax revenue
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: for the local jurisdictions. Instead, they're just gonna we're gonna
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: ban them all. No, just do what President Trump said
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: to do and say they have to pay for their
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: own electricity.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Well, what President Trump is doing with this announcement and
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: by having twenty three Republican governors sign this pledge, what
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: he's saying is if if the AI boom is going
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: to require massive new power, and it does, then then
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: that cost should not be dumped onto ordinary households. That's
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: the whole point here, right, And it is a good point,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: right that the people building the data centers, the companies
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: running them, the utilities profiting from them, ought to pay
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: their own way instead of sticking rate payers with the bill.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: But that makes that makes perfect sense. I mean, if
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you're running a factory, you're going to build a new factory,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: and the factory's going to make cars, Okay, great, Well
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: who should pay for the electricity that's going to power
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: that factory? Ah, the car manufacturer. This is I don't
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: understand why all of a sudden we get data centers
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: and everybody's like, oh, this is completely different from how
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: commerce has always worked.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: No, it's not.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: You pay for what you use, pay for it and
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: everything's fine, and the free markets solved the problem. We
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: don't have to have. I don't understand this nimbiism going
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: on with this country. This is a this is a
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: good move.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: It not only it solves the you know, every energy
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: problem in America today.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: But yeah, because you build new power plants.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Exactly, and and if and it's something you know, if
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: you create the demand, you pay for the demand. That
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: is fairness, that is accountability. That is how you protect
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: rate payers Like roll of US, I.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Rude my ac in the summer. I'm gonna have to
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: pay for the AC in my house in the summer.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: But I don't have to pay for my neighbors ac
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: And let's.
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: Be honest, that's the kind of basic common sense that
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: used to be normal in this country before Washington.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: For God, who it's supposed to serve.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Let's give the top thic things you need to know.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: But the fight over the criminal indictment against Attorney General
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Is Murle is not over. Even all the charges against
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: her have been dropped. Now, Congressman Clay Higgins is requesting
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the FBI look into the grand jury's proceedings, and the
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: agency has responded to his request saying it's been forwarded
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: to the appropriate people. In addition, Attorney General Merle is
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: seeking two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in attorney's fees
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: to compensate her for the malicious indictment. The charges were
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: brought by a special prosecutor, claiming that's sending a letter
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to New Orleans public office was warning them that they
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: were violating the law was the same thing as threatening
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: violence against those individuals. Really, yeah, so what she said,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, so what she claimed, But this thing's not.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: In what world?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, that's what the Louisiana State Supreme Court said
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: in much nicer terms. Second thing you need to know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: the Baton Rouge Metro Council is planning on suing the
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: manufacturers of fire trucks as part of an anti trust claim.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: The council hired former Governor John Bell Edwards law firm
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Fishman Haygood on a contingency basis, meaning the firm will
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: only get paid if the parish wins its lawsuit. Already,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: several other municipalities across the country have filed suit against
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Pierce Manufacturing, Rosenbauer America, and rev Group, the three biggest
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: manufacturers of fire trucks in the US, claiming the three
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: companies are colluding to raise prices and cut out competition.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, did you mention that former Governor John Bell
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Edwards may be hired as an attorney?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Well, no, I said it was his law firm, his
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: law firm. Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's his law he did.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I wasn't listening completely.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, good to know.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And third thing you need to know. One of the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: candidates for mayor Streetport has dropped out of the race.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Twenty year old Michael Mays announced he was suspending his
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: campaign for mayor and instead intends to run for the
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Louisiana State House. In a post on social media, he
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: said he was not giving up, just changing directions. May
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: said I want to be a representative who was president
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: not just during every election season, but every day. He
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: also said he was endorsing Cattle Parish Republican commissioner John
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Paul Young to be the next mayor. Young is challenging
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: fellow Republican and current incumbent Tom Arsona. There are also
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: three Democrats and one independent who have announced they are
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: seeking to be mayor in Streeport as well.
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: All right, well, you know Tom Arsona is the first
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: Republican mayor in what twenty six years?
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and in Streetport.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: And look to be fair to John Paul Young, all
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: the things he's complaining about his stuff that Tom Marson
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: was actually done and turned around. John Paul Young wants
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: to the city to be cleaner it is than it
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: has been. I don't understand the idea why.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: He's running out.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: You're listening to American ground radio.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Do you ever feel like plain water just doesn't kind
• 12:01

• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to America Radio Step Pavel luisar Eblony.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: You know, there are a lot of questions regarding Lane Kiffen,
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: who is the new head coach of LSU in ban Rouge,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: of course, and he basically, you know, he was on
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: social media media quite a lot, okay, and now he
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: basically disappeared from social media Lane Kiffin, And at the SEC.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Media Days he revealed the real reason.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: He said that his teenage son Knox, challenged him to
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: give up social media, and Lane Kiffin said he would.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: And he said that once you remove something from your life, yes,
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: you start to learn how people who are addicted to
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: it or need it. And he's publicly spoken about quitting alcohol,
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: you know, and saying saying that things get much clearer
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: when you stop drinking, okay, he says they're removing. Social
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: media has had a similar or similarly positive impact on
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: his life, he said, and I quote, a lot of
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: great things have come when I subtracted things out of
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: my life and I eliminated them.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: That wasn't the.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Plan to do, but then I did it. And it's
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: been a couple of months talking about the social media,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: and he said that it has been really refreshing.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a current trend going around on TikTok
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: and these other social media speaking of social media and
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: that it talks. You've had several people do the same thing,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: and they say, it's not about picking up a new
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: good habit, it's about getting rid of your worst habit.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Can you get rid of your worst habit? Getting rid
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: of your worst habit is going to be better than
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: picking up a new good habit.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Well, first you have to admit that it's a bad habit.
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: You have to recognize it or acknowledge it. You know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Denial is not just a river Egypt. Yes, as the
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Saturday Night Live skit so famously said so many years ago.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, so that, yeah, you're right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You first got to admit that you have a problem
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: with something, and then before you can address it, you're
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: not going to address something that you don't think is
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a problem, right, But once you do, you go, Okay,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: that's a bad habit. I want to fix that. I
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: want to get rid of that. I want to work
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: on that. That just getting rid of your worst bad
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: habit is more effective, more positive in your life than
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: picking up a new good habit would be. I thought,
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: that's kind of an interesting way of looking at things.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And of course on TikTok it's everywhere right now.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Well, and and again the addiction is you have to
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: guard your mind. Oh yeah, you have to guard your
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: mind in terms of what what you allow in. You
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: have to make decisions on you know what am I
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: going to spend my time focused on right exactly? Because
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: you don't, you know, we only live once. And that's
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: that's not just to trite saying.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: And speaking of which, let's dig.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Deep, going down, down down.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: So I saw the story on the Center Square, Louisiana
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: preparing Classic Literature mandate for all k through twelve students.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: So the idea is that the state Louisiana is planning
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: on requiring students from kindergarten all the way to high
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: school to read at least one book a year that's
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: on this classic literature list, And you might go, your
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: first thought might be what classical literature list would be
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: in kindergarten. I would go, I hop on Pop? I
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: think that is a classical?
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: What?
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: What one fish to? And what hop on pop? You
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: never read hop on pop?
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Apparently?
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: And one fish, two fish, redfish, bluefish.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: It's been a minute or two. I mean I probably
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: read it to my children green eggs and ham. I
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: was My parents were more about penmanship. I have no
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: my mother read to me. Come on, doctor Seuss, Yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: doctor Seuss. I know, Doctor SEUs.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: All those were doctors. You consider that to be a classic?
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Oh yes, oh yeah? Name name a better.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: You say classics.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I think of novels, okay, I think what kindergartener is
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: going to read a novel? I mean, you're not going
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: to read War and Peace.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: But you just asked me what do I think of
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: when I think of the classic.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: My point was a lot of people will go, what
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: do you think? What kind of classic books are kindergarteners reading?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: And I was suggesting Doctor Seuss being a classic book
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: that kindergarten and then you get into elementary school, you
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: go Beverly Clarey's books. Those will be.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: About the hardy boys.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: The Hardy Boys would be good classic I read.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of hardy Boys.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: But by the time you get into middle school and
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: high school, you need to be reading more challenging texts,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: and you need to be reading the classics. And then
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I thought, when did we stop having kids read the
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: classics every year? I had to read multiple books on
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: these classic lists of great books every single school year.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: How in the world did we he as a state,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: allow students to go through our school system without ever
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: reading any of the classic books, whenever reading the Iliad
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: and the Odyssey, without ever reading Romeo and Juliet, without
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: ever reading.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: Why bad thing you have cliff notes. I'm just saying
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: for a lot of.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: People, because you're missing something or or or by the way,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: when there's a movie, which really because the chap's my
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the movies don't work.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Movies don't not say so.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: The list would include books such as The Illea of
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: the Odyssey, Pride and Prejudices, The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit four
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: fifty one, which these days we need to be reading
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Fahrenheit four fifty one, nineteen eighty four.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I did read these days.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: We need to be reading nineteen eighty four, Oh Frankenstein,
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Crime and Punishment, and their eyes were watching God, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: obviously a whole bunch of others.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: You know, I read nineteen eighty four. Yeah, in nineteen
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: eighty four.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: See look at that.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And so you were in what middle school something like that?
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Either middle school, yeah.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Getting ready to go into high school.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that time. But that is the point. And and
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: and while the list of which books aren't finalized, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and the you know, the devil's in the details here,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: I think that the point is boil. It's not a book,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: it's but it's it's a classical line, it is. But
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: here's the point. Yes, we need to be reading these classics.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: You go back to the the Odyssey and the Iliad,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: you go back to you know, Beowulf. These are the
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: stories that helped create the entire Western world. It is
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: part of our culture, it is part of our civilization.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: We need to be reading these stories. I would throw
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: in the Book of Job in this. The Book of
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Job is a classic story and the foundation of it
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: led to a lot of the foundation of the Western world.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: And as Ronald Reagan said, if we don't know what
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: we did, we don't know who we are. If we
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: don't understand what the people who created this country we're reading,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: we won't know why they did these things well.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: And I am a firm believer that readers are leaders. Absolutely,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: And I know that sounds like again, you know, some
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: trite saying, but reading truly does expand the mind. It
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: strengthens character and a leader, a leader who reads is
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: never limited to one opinion or one experience, or one
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: way of thinking. And by doing, by reading as much
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: as you can get your hands on, you're better equipped
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: to guide others because you keep learning. You have a
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: life long love of learning.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And think about it this way. Thomas Jefferson, the man
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: who wrote the Decoration of Independence, our third President, the
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: guy who did the Louisiana purchas that Thomas Jefferson, he
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: was such a reader. He had so many books in
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: his personal collection that when the British burned down the
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Library of Congress in the War of eighteen twelve, he
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: took his his volume of books that were in his house,
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: gave them to create a new Library of Congress and
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: it doubled the number of books that were in the
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Library of Congress. Now, if the guy who wrote the
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Decoration of Independence was so well read that his personal
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: collection was twice the size of the government's collection of books,
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: how important do you think those classic books are?
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Well? And the other part of this is is that books,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: you know, often were a sign of wealth and homes.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: In the United States.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: They don't build homes with libraries anymore, but at one
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: point they did, and it was it was a status
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: symbol for many people. But it was a sign of
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: wealth because books were not cheap.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: It's one of the rooms that's in the board game Clue.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: That that is true.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: But again, they don't build libraries in home. In most homes,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: they don't even build shelves and homes anymore.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Look, this is really important. Students need to be reading
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: the classics, and it's good for Louisiana to be pushing
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: this this out. As we're going to next.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Year, you're listening to American ground radio. American ground radio
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: is now available with no artificial flavor, no artificial sweet
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: nurse or petroleum dripping based dies harvested field the table.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Visit our website at American ground Radio dot com.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to America Radio seem Part with Lewisarval.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: You know James Cavell, Well, he's just right about this.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: He's completely right about this.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, James, James and I are buddies.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: We go with me.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Told me I was not going to say feel your pain.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Well, let me just tell you something. Let me just
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: tell you something. Democrat Party today, they just crazy.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: They're all crazy. Speaking of crazy, James.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Okay, we got to come on a little early. Come on,
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: you started the appres I did, I did, but I
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: was going right into the story here. So James Carville
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: is spot on about this. He says Democrats need to
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: give up this fight on voter ID. He says, look,
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: if an issue polls around seventy five percent or higher,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: opposing it usually costs more than.
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: It gains, and he concedes.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Carville concedes here, even if voter fraud is extremely rare,
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: then why not just agree to it? Why not for Democrats?
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, if voter fraud is rare, indeed, then just
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: show them your ID.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if voter fraud is rare and seventy to eighty
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: percent of the population goes, I think we should show IDs.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Then what is it you have to win as a
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: Democrat to oppose this unless the only reason Democrats are
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: getting elected to office is because of the voter.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Fraud that you see is rare.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: But he says, and I think he's right, Democrats are
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: fighting the wrong war because if the public overwhelmingly wants
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: voter ID, the smart move is to stop sounding like
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: the Party of excuses and start sounding like the Party
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: of common sense, because.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: It makes you look like the party that's guilty. And
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: that's really what it does. It makes the Democrat party
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: look guilty when they're when most of the countries, you're
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: a sense to have and the Democrats are like over
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: my dead body, and the voters are like, I mean
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: why why So yeah, I agree with carbon on that,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: and he's not like I said.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: You know, the truth, plain and simple is if you
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: want to win elections, you don't insult the voters by
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: telling them their common sense is wrong. You don't turn
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: voter I D into a sacred cause while Americans sit
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: there asking, you know, what's the problem with showing ID?
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: And that's what most Americans is.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Over seventy five percent of Americans, whether they're Democrat or Republicublican.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: And yeah, I know there's more more Republican than Democrat
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: that are saying that, but but still it's a large,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: whelming number, a large number of Democrats the lions share here.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: And what's odd is a big part of the Democrat
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: party that wants voter I D happens to be black voters.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: The black voters are like, yeah, I have no problem.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: You got all these white Democrats walking around going, oh, well,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: black voters can't get IDs. And the black voters are like,
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I got one.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: What what are you talking about? Are you?
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: YEA.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: So the black the black Democrats are much more likely
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: to support voter I D than than white Democrats. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: you gotta be like, why why is that? Buddy? Okay,
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: tell you what.
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: Let's say what. So there's a guy on Twitter.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I mean I've seen several clips from uh and I like,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: I like what to do. His name is Josh Bartlett
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: and he is a farmer in South Africa. But because
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: he's white, he was often rejected to violence and the
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: theft and threats, and so he came to the United
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: States as a refugee. Donald Trump has opened up this
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: refugee status for as South Africans because of the racial
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: violence going on in that country. Well, he's now living
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: in Alabama, and I wanted to play this clip. This
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: is a clippy released this week of him talking about
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: life on his farm in northern Alabama to a listen.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: So check this out. My name is Jason, and I'm
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: a white South African living safely in north Alabama. I've
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: been on this farm for nearly two years, and not
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: a single sheep has been stonlen, raped or killed. Not
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: a single farm attack has happened to me. My cattle
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: have not been bruckally tortured alive, they have not been
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: hacked to pieces. I have not been attacked at my gate.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I have not been raped, I have not been murdered.
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: And I come here every day in the morning and
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: at night and I'm completely safe.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: America is freaking awesome.
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: I appreciate the refuge that they have given me. Not
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: only have they given me hope, They've given me my
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: joy back. And they let me do what I do.
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: I raise cattle and I raise sheep for the American people.
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: It is a win win situation. So God bless America
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: and God bless Donald Trump for looking after people like me.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Wow, you know, and immigrants frequently.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: You know, some of the most patriotic Americans are people
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: who chose this country. Yeah, and not people simply born
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: into it. I'm not saying that the folks listening right now,
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: you don't love this country.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: I know you do.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: But sometimes it takes perspective to really let you appreciate
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: something that you don't. You know, you don't know what
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: you got till it's gone. Well, if you've are, if
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you've never had it, and all of a sudden you
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: get it, You're like, wow, this is amazing.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Well, if you've never known a country, and even for us,
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: I mean you and I, yeah, I mean we've never
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: known we've never lived in a country that burdens its people,
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: and you compare, you compare a country like that that
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: burdens its people, that restricts its freedoms, and then you
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: come to the United States and you're like, oh, my goodness. Right,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, we've only known this way of life.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: He said, my sheep haven't been raped. He was thankful
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: that his sheep hadn't been raped. Are you I've never
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: lived in this country with the stories, right, Yeah.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: From wherever he's from.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Look, this guy is a huge fan of America. And unfortunately,
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: there are some immigrant communities in this country right now
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: who are not that appreciative of America. We've got some
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: immigrant communities that are much more likely to be saying, hey,
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: why don't I commit welfare fraud? Hey, the government's not
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: giving me enough. And some of those members of those
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: immigrant communities are in Congress, or as the case of
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: the communists that's running for Congress out of Colorado, she
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: came from Ethiopia and she's like, this country's awful. I
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: want to go be in Congress for it. No, this
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: is the kind of immigrant our country needs, not because
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: of his skin color, but because of his attitude and
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: because of his gratitude. He is happy to be safe,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: he is thankful to be able to use his skills
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: at raising sheep and cows to feed his family and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: to feed other families. He's not taking welfare benefits, he's
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: not committing welfare fraud. He's working every day to give
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: back to the country that has given him a new
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: lease on life.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: But you know, the constitution of this country, I think
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: at its core that is what brings joy to those
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: who love this country because it turns freedom from an
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: idea into living reality, which is the way he's describing,
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: you know, just the living reality of not having someone
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: try to steal from him, to not destroy his property.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's a living reality. And the Constitution protects
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: other things like speech and faith, property, do process. But
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: for immigrants, it's not abstract, it's not some document. It
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: is deeply personal because they're contrasting where they're living now,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: the rights and the freedoms that they're living under.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Now, with where they came from.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: Exactly. It is about an attitude. It's about assimilation. He
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: wants to be American. It's about gratitude to the opportunities
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: that America has given him and to his family. And
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I think that is just a beautiful, beautiful thing, absolutely,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: And I love seeing stories like this. One of the
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: things about social media is once you watch one of these,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: then you'll get some.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Other, get a bunch of them.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: But love seeing that story. It's so much better than
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: when you see some of the stories of these immigrant
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: communities that are accused of massive amounts of fraud, or
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: the immigrants who are now running for Congress as socialists
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: and communists. Saying our country hasn't given them enough.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: There's too many in this country that are not grateful
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: for what they have.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, both immigrants and people who are born here. You're
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: right on that. We'll be back.
• 31:25

  Speaker 5: But this is what happens when you build a culture
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: where citizenship doesn't matter, right, You get a system that
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: treats the most sacred privilege in America like it's just
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: another form to fill out, another box to check, you know,
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: another bureaucratic you know, process to walk through, and then
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: suddenly you're shocked, just shocked. I'm not shocked. None of
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: us should be shocked to find non citizens showing up
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: in the voter system, and the other in New Jersey. No,
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: this is in Michigan.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, this is another one.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: This is in Yeah, yeah, absolutely, this is in Macomb County.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: What the Macomb County clerk an other one says his
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: office has identified more than one thousand. I get this
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: prospective jurors, folks that sitting sitting on juries in our
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: in our justice system, who are not US citizens.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Well, a thousand this is in one county.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Then they're not allowed to serve on jury.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Oh well they have been.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: And forty of these who have been serving on these
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: juries in Michigan also have a voting history.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: I mean that should in one county.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Yes, that should set alarm bells all over the country.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. First of all, every one of the cases that
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: ended up in a conviction with a foreigner on the jury,
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: that should be Yeah.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: You would think, and of course that that fallout is
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: ahead of course.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: But I mean if I were a lawyer in that county,
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: I'd be all right, it's time to get paid here, baby.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, this is what again, this is what happens
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: when you have a colure where citizenship doesn't matter. I mean,
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: if a state cannot clearly separate citizens from non citizens
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: in its voter rolls.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, then what you have is non citizens choosing who
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: the leaders of the citizens will be.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: But citizenship at that point means nothing nothing. I mean,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: it starts to roteh when the political class, which Democrats
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: in Michigan no doubt, feel like the whole word citizen
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: is inconvenient.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: They seem to think it's not inconvenient. They seem to
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: think it's a dirty word. Like somehow calling yourself a
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: citizen makes you, somehow immediately a white supremacist.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, like you're demeaning someone else who isn't.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I don't care what color your skin is. I care
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: whether you have an allegiance to this country or some
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: other country people who have an allegiance to I don't know.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Let's just say Iran should be deciding who in the
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: United States of America gets to go to jail.
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: And by the way, and don't let anyone tell you
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: this is just some technicality. The right to vote belongs
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: to citizens, period, period. And if a state can't keep
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: that line clean, then the people have every right to
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: ask whether the system is still serving lawful voters or
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: whether it's turned into this uh sloppy anything goes mess
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: fill in the blank, Michigan fill in the blank, Minnesota,
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: fill in the blank.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, California.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: Let's play a game, come out, black Battleship, shall we play? Okay?
• 35:37

• 36:24
  Speaker 3: million people.

  Speaker 5: here to see Joseph Stalin.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Mao al Zeidong from China number one, sixty five million
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: people in his communist revolution and then in his new
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: policies once he took office. Sixty five million people dead
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: because of that one man, that socialist, that communist in China.
• 37:19

  Speaker 3: on the list, Mao and Stalin, both communists, Yes, Zoron
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Mamdani a communist, and he's he's saying, he's saying Benjamin
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: nat Yeah, who's a war criminal. And the two guys
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: that obviously he looks up to. I mean, if you're
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: going to be a communist, you've got to be looking
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: up to mal Zedong and Joseph Stalin.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: Right, what are you looking up to? Murderer? I don't know.
• 37:40

  Speaker 4: What about Genghis Khan number.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Three on the list. You pulled that. I did not
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: expect that one. Yes, but during the Middle Ages, Genghis
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Khan was responsible for the deaths of forty million people
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: across Asia and Europe. Okay, I'm out, well done. You've
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: got the top four. Mal Zadong Joseph stalling Genghis Khan.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: To his credit, Genghis Khan was not a communist, so
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: you know, at least if Zorn's looking up to Genghis,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I guess.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Then you have an al Bitler money not funny.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Anolf Hitler was a socialist. Then you have King Leopold
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: of Belgium, King Leopold the Second of Belgium responsible for
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: ten million people, mostly in his wars in the Congo
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: in Central Africa, and they still have problems in Africa
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: and part of because of what Leopold did. And then
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Paul pot another communist in Cambodia, response for the deaths
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: of two million people.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: So what you're saying is Benjamin Netanya, who really can't
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: even hold there.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: He can't even hold their beer.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: We didn't have Mussolini, we didn't have tojo from Japan.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Edi Ami did make this. Robert Mugabi didn't make the list.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: Benjamin Attna Yahoo. Even if you think he's a war criminal,
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: he's so far down the list. And all the people
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: that Zoorram's philosophy looks up to are at the top
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: of him.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: You're listening to American Ground Radio.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to America bout radio student.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Paul lewisar So.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: Cuba has now suffered nine years, nine straight years of
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: population decline. Almost two hundred and fifty thousand people left
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: just last year, just last year. And you know, you
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: could talk about well, bad leadership or you know this
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: that or the other.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: But ken and you probably should have.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: What we need to be.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Talking about is what is going on in this country
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: in the United States with respect to the rise of
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: this democratic socialism, because the goal of democratic socialism is communism.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: And what you see in Cuba is what communist systems do.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: They promise equality, but they deliver scarcity and stagnation and escape.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: I mean, and when people cannot build a life at home,
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: they leave. And when enough of them leave the country,
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: then the country stops reproducing itself. Which birth rates in
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: Cuba is I mean, they are way way low.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: You can't ford kids in Cuba. In most communist countries,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: you have a problem with that. The what are the
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: common sayings about communism? So people will criticize capitalism because
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: it has the un equal distribution of prosperity of wealth, right, Well,
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: the problem with communism is it's the equal distribution of misery.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: You make everybody miserable in communism. The only people who
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: come off as not being miserable are the dictators in power.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: Those are the only people who think communism in the
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: end is a good idea. Are the dictators or those
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: who are able to bribe the dictators.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: Well, and let's remind folks communism, this is what communism
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: produces wherever. It is true, every single time, it empty shelves,
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: empty streets, and eventually an empty future. And that when
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: a system drives out, it's young, and it crushes family formation,
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: and it leaves behind only an aging population. That's not
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: preserving a nation, it's presiding over its decline.
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: You're destroying. And if you destroying the nation.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: And for these communities in our own country, in the
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: United States that continue to support communist type policies, this
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: is what you're voting for.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Eventually we got more American ground Radio coming up. Stick
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: around
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: The second hour of American Ground Radio is coming up
