  We are faith and fury.
• 0:06
  Love and fire.
• 0:09
  This is the human equation where every voice counts and every truth cuts deep.
• 0:17
  With your host, Joseph Pangaro.
• 0:20
  Hey everybody, welcome to the human equation.
• 0:23
  I'm your host, Joseph Pangaro.
• 0:26
  And I'm glad that you're here with me.
• 0:28
  So I have a lot of things going on in the background here.
• 0:33
  There's a lot of information coming into your ear to our home studio here.
• 0:37
  There's a lot of people trying to reach out to me.
• 0:39
  There's people that want to tell me things about the world.
• 0:42
  I have friends in New York who are both conservative and liberal, and they're telling me about their hopes and dreams and all the things they're hoping for their new socialist utopia that will be New York.
• 0:54
  And we'll we will get into some of that stuff between this episode and probably the next one or the next two.
• 1:02
  I will have the panel back next week.
• 1:04
  It's been uh crazy around here.
• 1:07
  We are all dealing with uh flu, neurovirus, all of the things that go on in the winter time, which is one of the reasons that here in the Northeast, where I'm located, uh, we call it the gray suck because it's just horrible, like from now until June, and it's gray and it's cold, and then it gets warm, and then it's nasty, and there's the flu running around.
• 1:31
  It's not like being in Florida.
• 1:33
  And I know there's a lot of people in Florida.
• 1:34
  I notice people in Australia listening to us here, so I I guess uh they are in the middle of their summer right now down that way.
• 1:42
  So what is it do I want to talk about?
• 1:44
  Well, first of all, I like getting together, and I guess I'll cover some current news first.
• 1:51
  So recently, I I I wrote an article and I did some I did some discussion about uh President Trump hitting the narcotics boats.
• 2:01
  And I've had quite a few people reach out to me via email as well as personally, people that know me personally and have my cell number.
• 2:10
  And we we had a nice discussion about it, and lots of people, I think the majority are in favor of it.
• 2:15
  Uh we all know somebody, most of us all know somebody that has lost someone or died from an overdose of fentanyl.
• 2:24
  I've had people write to me and tell me uh Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs, nothing to do with drugs, and you know, the more I I looked into who who it is that's saying these things, you you find out that they betray themselves that they are just anti-Trumpers.
• 2:39
  You know, they are just anti-Trump people, and one of the things that I'm putting together a lot of information for is that I I try to be very understanding of lots of different points of view.
• 2:50
  I do.
• 2:50
  I I understand people have different you know histories that bring them to different places and and they they believe different things for lots of reasons.
• 2:59
  What I think is missing from a lot of my friends and family that I love dearly who are on the left, is that they don't have a lot of common sense.
• 3:10
  They are absolutely driven by their emotions, and that's that's the biggest thing that drives them, their emotions, how they want things to be, as opposed to dealing with things as they actually are, and then seeing what they can do to uh you know uh change things for the better if they want things to be good.
• 3:31
  So recently I had a nice conversation with a young man, um, and he was he wouldn't tell me if he was a conservative or a liberal, and he just asked me a series of questions, and it was interesting.
• 3:43
  He was vetting me out for a project that I'm looking to do, and he wanted to kind of see where I stood on things.
• 3:49
  So he just asked me a bunch of random questions to get my opinion on things, and and over time it became clear where he stood based on how he asked his questions.
• 3:59
  It was a Zoom meeting, so I could see his face.
• 4:02
  So one of the things that many of you know is I've written a book called The Interview, which is how to conduct a complete and thorough criminal interview, which you can pick up a copy of that book at Blue 360 Media.com, or you can go right here to the America Outloud.news bookstore and you can see all my books there.
• 4:20
  So it'd be great if you would go pick them up.
• 4:22
  It'd be very interesting for you.
• 4:24
  But anyway, because I could see this young man, I could see his expressions and I could read him pretty well.
• 4:30
  I could read his behind the scenes of his questions, I could see between the lines, etc.
• 4:37
  And he was a more conservative guy, but he was trying to feel me out, and he was like, Well, well, what is what is it that you think drives people on the left?
• 4:45
  Why do you think they believe what they believe?
• 4:47
  And if you go back and you listen to any of my shows, my episodes, you know that I try to take a pretty even hand on people's beliefs.
• 4:57
  I I think my family and friends on the left, they're good people, as I think most liberal people are.
• 5:03
  Now, some of you are jumping up and down right now, they're evil, they're evil, they're evil.
• 5:07
  Well, some of them are evil.
• 5:09
  You know, some of them are are really twisted and and and strange, but for the most part, our friends on the left uh are good and decent people.
• 5:18
  They want the best for everyone, and uh the problem is is that their common sense is kind of lost.
• 5:24
  They're driven so much by emotion that they can't really they can't express themselves well.
• 5:30
  You know what happens when you argue with a liberal, right?
• 5:33
  You start to have a discussion, you you go back and forth, and you're trying to make your point and you're trying to be persuasive, which is what we do in a in a in a debate or in a conversation with another person, and you see what happens with them.
• 5:46
  When they start to lose the argument, all of a sudden they they they jump on the uh, well, you're a hater, you're a bigot, you're this, and they they assign all of these motives to those of us on the right based on the fact that they can't win the argument, so therefore they have to devalue us by calling us names.
• 6:06
  Well, the only reason you have that opinion is because you're a bigot, because you hate people and you this and that's the furthest thing from the truth.
• 6:12
  I don't hate anybody, right?
• 6:13
  Anybody who's listened to any of my programs, goes back, reads my articles.
• 6:17
  I don't hate anybody.
• 6:18
  You know, uh I like some people more than others, but I don't hate anyone.
• 6:22
  I don't I don't care who somebody loves, you know, I don't I don't care, you know, what they want to do.
• 6:27
  A man wants to wear a dress, I say, you know, is you know, good, get a nice one, right?
• 6:30
  I don't I could care less about any of those things.
• 6:34
  Those are all personal choices people make, but I find that in in these conversations, it's hard to have a conversation with a person on the left because they want things to be a certain way so badly that they overlooked, they overlook truth, they overlook reality, they overlook uh everything, including human nature, and that's where I think they go wrong the most.
• 6:58
  I also think that it is understanding human nature is why those of us on the right and those of us on the left have a difficulty coming to any understanding.
• 7:10
  Uh understanding human nature, okay.
• 7:13
  So what I'm talking about is everybody wants everything to be fair.
• 7:18
  Who does not want to live in a fair and just society?
• 7:22
  I think all of us, those of us on the right, those of us on the left.
• 7:25
  We all want to live in a fair and just society.
• 7:28
  How do we get to a fair and just society?
• 7:32
  Well, we establish uh a set of rules, we establish a set of laws that we all agree upon that we're gonna live by, and then we agree on what happens when some of us don't follow those rules.
• 7:45
  Now, what's the purpose of laws and rules?
• 7:48
  Wouldn't it be better if we all just did whatever we wanted to do with no no one overlooking our shoulder whatsoever.
• 7:56
  Now that sounds really wonderful, doesn't it?
• 7:59
  It sounds really wonderful.
• 8:00
  But the reality is because of human nature, uh some people will take advantage of others.
• 8:07
  Uh people will take advantage of those who are weaker than them mentally, physically, uh, emotionally, they will take advantage of them.
• 8:14
  They will use people, they will abuse people, they will hurt people.
• 8:19
  And that is a reality of the human condition.
• 8:22
  You know, you you want to dig deeper for our religious friends out there, you can say that when sin was brought into the world, that is the world that we're we're left with now.
• 8:31
  There are people that do sinful bad things.
• 8:34
  But if we take religion out of it, and we just look at how people would behave, um sure, there's lots and lots and lots of us that are kind and decent people who would do good to help people.
• 8:48
  That's what we would try and do.
• 8:49
  We would try and help people.
• 8:50
  We would act in our own interest, but if we had the ability, we would try and help somebody.
• 8:55
  But there are a whole lot of other people out there that are not kind, that are not decent, that are not nice, and will take advantage of any opportunity they can to steal, rob, rape, do whatever it is negative thing that they want to do to those that they can get away with doing it to.
• 9:13
  So this I think we all understand, we all comprehend that's why we have to have laws and rules, and we can't just live uh by the seat of our pants.
• 9:21
  Everybody do what they want to do, right?
• 9:24
  So that's that's long been established.
• 9:26
  So we have a nation that is uh a rule of law.
• 9:31
  We have a rule of law here so that we can all the purpose being to maintain uh our our safety and our security, and that we can all live a good and decent life without being victimized by other people.
• 9:45
  And so, based on that, we we have come up with some guidelines, some some realities of uh what we can what we can live by so that we can have that lifestyle.
• 9:57
  Now, going back to the religion thing, we have the Ten Commandments.
• 10:00
  Right?
• 10:00
  We have the Ten Commandments.
• 10:02
  They kind of give us some basic outlines of how to live with each other so that we do the right thing.
• 10:08
  Now, religiously speaking, the Ten Commandments are from God, and God says, hey, this is how I expect you to live, this is how I want you to live, to create this uh orderly society to get along with each other.
• 10:23
  Now that's the you know, people pastors and all that out there, I know you want to write to me and give me more deeper stuff.
• 10:29
  And I'm talking from the 30,000 feet view here.
• 10:32
  So, but they are pretty good.
• 10:34
  Do not commit murder.
• 10:38
  Now it's interesting.
• 10:38
  If we go through each one of them, I think you know what, I might have the panel do that.
• 10:42
  Um maybe in a future episode, we'll go through the Ten Commandments, because you you can look at interpretations of things.
• 10:50
  So thou shall not commit murder.
• 10:53
  Does that mean you can never kill anyone?
• 10:57
  That is an interesting question.
• 10:58
  Can does that mean you know, Ten Commandments is not committed.
• 11:01
  No, the word murder is a specific word, has a specific meaning because words mean things, right?
• 11:08
  The words we use are important.
• 11:10
  So when we see murder, murder is the intentional taking of a person's life, usually for a nefarious reason.
• 11:16
  You want something they have, you want to shut them up, you want to do whatever.
• 11:20
  There is the concept in religion of the just war, right?
• 11:24
  The just war, where at some point you have to fight to protect your people, and that means other people are gonna die, and that's understood, right?
• 11:33
  Uh God himself wiped out entire communities that were evil, right?
• 11:37
  So we we have all of these these different things we can look at religiously.
• 11:41
  But when we look at um how do we want to live this just and good world, knowing that there's good people and bad people, is we came up with this set of rules and laws.
• 11:51
  And what I'm saying is the Ten Commandments gave us a good background.
• 11:54
  Don't lie, don't cheat, don't take your neighbor's wife, you know, don't do all that kind of stuff.
• 11:58
  All the stuff that would cause great conflict between people.
• 12:02
  And we've codified that into law.
• 12:04
  There was English common law, then the American Constitution and law and all that kind of stuff that we live by.
• 12:10
  All right, so we don't want somebody to break into your house and steal your things, right?
• 12:14
  You don't want somebody to uh grab your daughter off the street and sexually assault her.
• 12:18
  You don't want somebody to uh want your car and kill you to take your car.
• 12:23
  So when we agree to live by these rules, they have to be enforced.
• 12:27
  Because if they're not enforced, human nature makes it very, very clear that if it's not enforced, then people are going to ignore it and they're going to go and do bad things anyway.
• 12:39
  I think we have so many examples of this truth that it's it's if you don't see it, it's only because you choose not to see it, or because it doesn't help your argument.
• 12:50
  And this is the crux of a conservative way of looking at things and a liberal uh progressive way.
• 12:58
  If I see a truth and it doesn't comport with my beliefs, then as a conservative, I look at it, I try and take it apart, I try to analyze it, I try and understand it, and if it turns out that what I think is right is not actually right, I will change my point of view.
• 13:17
  I will adjust my belief system so that it comports with the truth.
• 13:23
  My friends on the left, and I've seen this in dozens of arguments, people that have emailed me, written to me, people I've talked to, family and friends, I'm telling you, I try I talk to everybody, because that's that's what we do, right?
• 13:34
  When you talk to people that are on the left, if they come up with a fact or a set of circumstances or a scenario or a truth that does not match what they want, what they believe in their heart to be the best, they will ignore it, they will go around it, they will make excuses for it, especially if it hurts their argument.
• 13:57
  And that is why they very often devolve into name-calling when they can't beat you in the argument.
• 14:04
  Or you look on social media.
• 14:06
  There's a bunch of these young people that are out there and and they go around and they show up at places where people are protesting or or whatever, and they go up and they ask them questions.
• 14:14
  You know, why do you hate Donald Trump?
• 14:16
  Oh, because he's he's uh he's a racist.
• 14:19
  Okay.
• 14:20
  All right, so what has he done that's racist?
• 14:23
  He doesn't like people who are of color.
• 14:26
  Okay.
• 14:27
  Well how what examples can you give of what he's done?
• 14:29
  And they they they never can.
• 14:31
  They never can, or they make things up, or they tell you some platitude that they heard, or some some one liner that they heard from some uh some talking head uh about Donald Trump.
• 14:42
  Is he brash?
• 14:43
  Yes, is he brash?
• 14:44
  Does he say things sometimes that are uncomfortable to hear or sound silly or don't make sense?
• 14:50
  Yes, of course he does.
• 14:52
  Don't you do that?
• 14:53
  Don't I do that?
• 14:54
  I think we all do.
• 14:56
  Here's a guy that talks about the most important things in our nation every single day.
• 15:02
  That's what he is consumed by 24 hours a day, as every president is.
• 15:07
  The most important things going on in the nation in the world come across the desk of the president.
• 15:13
  A lot of them don't talk a lot.
• 15:14
  A lot of them don't come forward and hold press conferences.
• 15:17
  Joe Biden, who was disabled mentally, could not come forward and talk.
• 15:22
  So he didn't.
• 15:24
  Um Donald Trump talks every single day on a way to the helicopter, on a way to the thing, on the airplane, he holds press conferences, he's talking constantly.
• 15:33
  Someone who's going to talk that much, are they gonna make a mistake, a verbal, a verbal gaff?
• 15:39
  Are they gonna say something uh out of context or are they gonna uh conflate two points?
• 15:44
  Of course.
• 15:46
  But I take that into consideration.
• 15:48
  Do I like when he's negative?
• 15:50
  Do I like some of the things?
• 15:51
  No, I don't.
• 15:52
  Overall, though, do I like the fact that he is actually doing things about some of the situations we've all spoken about?
• 16:01
  We all feel in our heart need to be addressed, and they never are.
• 16:05
  Yes, and how come?
• 16:06
  That's because our politicians, most of them on both sides of the aisle, are weak.
• 16:12
  They simply they got a nice position.
• 16:15
  And I say this all the time.
• 16:16
  They get a great position being a congressperson or a senator.
• 16:19
  It's a great gig.
• 16:21
  Uh think about it compared to your job.
• 16:24
  You know, they fly all over the country, they go to, you know, junkets, they go to Washington, they vote on stuff, they talk, and they get paid.
• 16:31
  Oh, well, what do they get paid?
• 16:32
  175,000, 2000, 200,000 a year.
• 16:36
  That's pretty good money for the average American who makes 65 to 70, 200,000, is pretty good salary.
• 16:43
  But don't we all notice that you have people that go in making you know their previous salary, like AOC, I always look at her.
• 16:50
  AOC.
• 16:51
  Um, she was a bartender, right?
• 16:54
  Young girl, attractive girl, not very smart.
• 16:57
  She's really not.
• 16:58
  She's she's unfortunately she's she's very twisted in her thinking, emotionally driven.
• 17:04
  But here she is, she was a bartender making, you know, what, 20,000, 25,000 a year uh in tips and this and that.
• 17:11
  She's been a congressperson for five or six years, and she's worth millions of dollars.
• 17:16
  Gee, how did that happen?
• 17:18
  You only get paid 200,000 a year.
• 17:20
  So if you do the math, in if she was a congressperson for 10 years, and she saved every penny of her salary, she'd be worth two million dollars.
• 17:30
  Okay, that's reasonable.
• 17:31
  You make a 200,000 that you save every penny, but can you save every penny?
• 17:34
  No, she needs to have a uh uh home base in her district.
• 17:38
  She needs to have an apartment or a house in Washington.
• 17:40
  She needs uh money to go back and forth.
• 17:43
  How does she end up with millions and millions of dollars, right?
• 17:47
  So we can't count on our politicians to do the right things because it's a gravy train on both sides of the aisle, absolutely.
• 17:55
  Now, that being said, are there not good people on both sides of the aisle that really believe in public service and are trying to do the right thing?
• 18:04
  I think there are.
• 18:05
  I think there are definitely people on both sides of the aisle that want to do the right thing, they go to Washington, they get caught up in the mess.
• 18:12
  But for the most part, you don't see these people leave voluntarily, do you?
• 18:16
  I mean, it's very rare that they leave their job voluntarily.
• 18:18
  They got to get voted out or they get caught in some scandal or they age out, but they don't leave, right?
• 18:24
  So it's so it's we can't count on them to do what's right.
• 18:29
  So here we have, you know, the the two sides of this of this spectrum that look at things.
• 18:35
  So I I get off, I get off track once in a while when I when I go on a run, but I'm gonna bring myself back.
• 18:42
  So what I was saying was that as a conservative, if I have something that disagrees with my point of view, I will examine it, and if it turns out I'm wrong in my point of view or my belief, and I find a truth that shows me something different, I have to adopt that.
• 18:59
  I have to take it.
• 19:00
  I have to express it.
• 19:02
  Our friends on the left don't do that for the most part.
• 19:05
  They don't change their point of view.
• 19:07
  They twist the facts, they make things up, they call you names, they come after.
• 19:12
  And this is where as I go on and on and on, and I try to maintain this middle of the road understanding that both sides have a point of view.
• 19:21
  I that's just the way I see people.
• 19:23
  The further and further I go down the road of life here, the more I start to realize that by giving people on the left the benefit of the doubt in every situation, um, we get caught up in a lot of nonsense that as a as a side society, as a functioning society.
• 19:44
  There's some things we just can't, we just can't put up with anymore and pretend that, oh, they're well, it's a valid point of view, it's just different.
• 19:51
  Now, some of the stuff they say is absurd, it's ridiculous, it's stupid, it doesn't make any sense.
• 19:58
  It flies in the face of humans.
• 20:00
  Human nature and facts.
• 20:01
  And that's just a reality.
• 20:02
  And, you know, like I said, I I have a lot of people in my life that are on the left, and I love them.
• 20:07
  And I think they they just want the best, and therefore they they have they they are driven by this emotion.
• 20:15
  The emotion is we should it let's just all be fair.
• 20:18
  The criminal justice system is not fair to certain people.
• 20:22
  Well, historically, historically, you can say there was there was times that the criminal justice system was used against people improperly.
• 20:33
  No doubt about it.
• 20:35
  To deny that would be foolish because I've I've seen it happen, right?
• 20:40
  But we got to say in our modern world, the system is set up that if you don't commit crimes, you don't rob, you don't rape, you don't burglarize, you don't cheat, you don't do any of those things.
• 20:52
  You're not gonna run afoul of the law.
• 20:54
  You're not gonna end up in the criminal justice system, right?
• 20:57
  That's just the reality.
• 20:59
  But what we see is a lot of people, human nature tells them to take advantage.
• 21:04
  To tells them they're um the idea is that it's okay to do the wrong thing, right?
• 21:09
  We have a society that supports doing the wrong thing, that supports lying, that supports getting over.
• 21:16
  Our leaders, we watch them lie.
• 21:19
  We watch them cheat and steal, and it sends this giant message down through the system that it's okay to cheat and lie and and do bad things.
• 21:30
  One of the things I have talked about so often is hypocrisy.
• 21:35
  Hypocrisy.
• 21:36
  There was a time in America when if you were found to be a hypocrite, you you slunk away from the public eye.
• 21:45
  You you slunk away in shame that you were caught being a hypocrite.
• 21:48
  Today, people are caught being hypocritical, and it's seen as a badge of honor.
• 21:53
  Well, good job, man.
• 21:54
  You got over on them, boy, you tricked them.
• 21:56
  Ah, they fell for it, right?
• 21:58
  It it's seen as it's seen as a as a position of value that that has value.
• 22:04
  And that is one of the reasons, one of the many reasons that our entire society is slipping and skidding and uh going in a negative in a negative fashion.
• 22:18
  Truth no longer leads our discussions.
• 22:21
  Feelings lead our discussions.
• 22:23
  Um what we want to be leads how we move forward, and that conflicts with reality and human nature.
• 22:38
  And that causes the problems we have, the rift we have between our people.
• 22:43
  You know, for many, many, many times I had said I gave the analogy of there was a point when those of us who were conservative and those who were liberal, we they we've always been like this.
• 22:54
  We've had different levels of it, but for the most part, all of us were in separate boats.
• 23:02
  Let's look at it that way.
• 23:03
  We're in separate boats going down the same river.
• 23:06
  And we're we're we are guiding our boat down the river based on our beliefs and our desires and our thoughts and our emotions as we go down the river.
• 23:18
  But when we look at it, while we were in separate boats, we were going down the same river.
• 23:25
  We were gonna end up at the same point at the bottom of the river.
• 23:29
  What has happened now in our modern world is not only are we in separate boats, we are now going in different directions.
• 23:39
  And I would say we've even gone to the point that we we hit that uh that that cross in the road and we are in different rivers completely.
• 23:48
  Our belief system, our understanding of right and wrong, our understanding of human nature, our understanding of the best way to deal with each other, is really no longer just different points of view about the same things.
• 24:04
  It's completely different ideas of what it means to be an American, what it means to be a man, what it means to be a woman, what it means to have a relationship, what it means for God, what it what does it mean for how we should get along with each other.
• 24:18
  All of these things are now so opposed to each other that it puts us in this place that we're at now.
• 24:27
  The long and short of this is that as I say this, and I know it sounds it might sound I don't know.
• 24:34
  I I don't even know how it sounds, but the reality is I can no longer just keep saying, well, you know, even though they're good people, uh they have a point of view, and we really need to.
• 24:44
  There are certain point, there's a certain point, a time comes that we say, enough with the nonsense.
• 24:50
  We can't put up with that nonsense, especially now as they've gone from being um light on socialism to now pushing socialist ideas, which we know where this leads.
• 25:04
  We have seen history.
• 25:06
  America is a unique um an unique country in all of mankind.
• 25:12
  Now we've only been here 250 years.
• 25:14
  This is our anniversary, right?
• 25:15
  250 years of America.
• 25:17
  And it is a very short experiment in freedom and liberty and justice, American style.
• 25:24
  And what's happening is as we we we there was a can you imagine after World War II, uh through the 50s and then the 60s, uh, that we would young people would see socialism as a legitimate option, and that adults would see it as a legitimate option, that maybe that's the better way to go.
• 25:47
  I I I can't even imagine it.
• 25:50
  I was I was born in the early 1960s.
• 25:52
  I grew up in the 70s and the 80s, and I saw I saw the uh, you know, the 70s and the you know, the free love movement, and and you know, all of it, the crazy politics and the anti-war.
• 26:03
  I saw all that take place.
• 26:06
  And but I never ever thought we'd get to the point that we're at now where our friends on the left are so twisted in their thinking that they see socialism, no matter how many examples there are, that it never works.
• 26:23
  It never works out.
• 26:24
  It leads to a tyrannical government.
• 26:27
  It leads to some having more than others, and the state taking over, and your your quality of life is gonna go downhill, right?
• 26:37
  This is what happens every time.
• 26:38
  And we talked about this in a previous episode, so I'm not gonna go over it again.
• 26:42
  Scandinavia!
• 26:43
  Yeah, well, no, they even had to change their form of socialism to kind of mix it with a little capitalism so that people could live and eat.
• 26:50
  You know, all this talk now, and we started out talking about Trump hitting the boats uh the uh with the drugs, is that the reality is there is good and there is evil in the world.
• 27:02
  There's right and there is wrong.
• 27:05
  And we are at the point in our history when those of us with common sense, those of us who can see reality, those of us who can recognize human nature and how things work.
• 27:18
  Yes, we should always strive for a just and fair and correct uh compassionate society.
• 27:25
  That's what we that's what we have to have.
• 27:27
  You know, again, I go back to the religion.
• 27:29
  That's what God wants us to have.
• 27:30
  So I think that's the right thing to have.
• 27:32
  It's the best way for us to live.
• 27:34
  Fairness, justice, compassion.
• 27:36
  But we can't put up with nonsense and go along with lies and foolishness and idiotic ideas and destroy the nation that we have.
• 27:46
  All right, so I'm gonna take a break.
• 27:47
  I'm gonna cool down a little bit, you take a break, get a drink or something.
• 27:51
  We'll be back in a few minutes.

• 30:00
  Huh.
• 30:01
  Well, it's my time.
• 30:03
  Americans refuse to be pawned in the human chest.
• 30:06
  Under the name of diversity, politicians divide the people in their quest for power.
• 30:12
  No diversity opinion and expression.
• 30:15
  Is as American as El.
• 30:21
  Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
• 30:25
  America outlawed news.
• 30:27
  Liberty and justice for all.
• 30:32
  Alright, we are back.
• 30:34
  I'm your host, Joe Pangaro, and this is the human equation.
• 30:38
  Alright, so I got a little far afield in our first in the first part of our get together today.
• 30:46
  Because I wanted to get those things out.
• 30:48
  I have a list of a list of topics of things that I I want to talk about and discuss as we go forward.
• 30:57
  But I I think I'm gonna have to stay on these topics for a little bit longer.
• 31:01
  Um because we do have some some amazing things going on.
• 31:06
  So recently, very recent, we have seen the United States military not just uh confiscate boats that are uh from Venezuela that are filled with oil that's uh got all kinds of restrictions on it.
• 31:23
  Uh we started seeing that.
• 31:25
  Then we saw the drug boats and the drug boats being blown out of the water so that the drugs stopped coming to America.
• 31:32
  But we saw the might and the power of the United States military to go into Caracas, Venezuela, to the capital, to a military base, and completely shut down their air uh defenses to shut down their military defenses, to go flying in with uh over 150 aircraft from all these different bases around the Caribbean area and go in and snatch out the illegitimate uh ruler, right?
• 32:05
  I wasn't gonna say leader, because he doesn't lead a lot of people.
• 32:08
  He leads his little cartel.
• 32:09
  Uh he's a ruler.
• 32:11
  He's ruling over the people of uh Venezuela, and they're not happy about it.
• 32:16
  And our military, uh, on the orders of President Trump, swung in there in the middle of the night and snatched up this evil ruler, because that's what he is.
• 32:29
  This evil ruler, this guy who leads a cartel, and him and his wife, who were equally uh involved in the drug dealing in America, and pull them out of there, put them on an aircraft carrier and take them to New York, where they're gonna be standing in front of a judge because they've been indicted on crimes of drug dealing and killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.
• 32:54
  Now, it was predictable.
• 32:57
  It was predictable, knowing the the people we have here who are on the left and who are communist and who are crazy, that there would be uh protests.
• 33:06
  Free Maduro, free Maduro.
• 33:08
  We we knew that this would happen, and it happened very quickly, within a couple of hours, there were protests that popped up all over many, many American cities with people carrying the exact same signs.
• 33:20
  Isn't that interesting?
• 33:22
  It's one thing, you know, hey, we're gonna go protest, whatever, and you take your cardboard and you make yourself a sign and you run out, but to have pre-printed signs um with the exact same messaging in multiple cities in almost instantaneous fashion, tells you that this is created by a network.
• 33:42
  There's someone behind this who's trying to do this.
• 33:45
  Now, I I find, and when I'm talking about we can no longer put up with the nonsense of the left.
• 33:52
  We have to call it out, and the adults in the room have got to say that's uh ridiculous enough.
• 33:58
  You know, here's a narco-terrorist, and these people are dancing around, you know, free Maduro, how dare the United States how dare the United States?
• 34:08
  How dare the United States go and and and snatch up this evil individual who is responsible for running a drug cartel that has uh assisted to bringing in billions and billions of dollars of of uh horrible drugs that have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans?
• 34:28
  Not only is that not a bad thing that we did that, it is a responsibility that we do that.
• 34:35
  It's a responsibility that we protect ourselves from the evil that's out there in the world of the people who would hurt us, hurt our children, hurt our families.
• 34:46
  If the uh if the Mexican government decided to start lobbing rockets over our border and starting hitting towns in Texas, or maybe they had a really good missile, could hit Oklahoma.
• 34:56
  How long should we sit there and take that?
• 34:59
  Well, Mexico's not as strong as America, they don't have what we have, and you know, who are we to be bullies?
• 35:05
  Bully schmully, I don't want to hear that anymore.
• 35:08
  America is a superpower, and therefore we need to stand up for our people, stand up for our rights, all along, doing it in a just and fair way.
• 35:20
  But we can't sit back anymore and take slaps and punches in the face.
• 35:23
  That's got to be over.
• 35:25
  And that is what President Trump is doing.
• 35:27
  That is what people on the left don't understand.
• 35:30
  Why people like me and people on the right will put up with the things that Trump says, the crazy things he says, the the absurd things, the insulting thing.
• 35:38
  Why?
• 35:39
  Because he's the only politician who has stood up in a generation to say that's enough with the nonsense in the rest of the world.
• 35:49
  We're not gonna be uh treated like this anymore.
• 35:53
  We are a good and decent people.
• 35:55
  We have saved the world multiple times.
• 35:57
  Have we saved the world?
• 36:00
  And what do we ask back for it?
• 36:02
  Nothing.
• 36:02
  We rebuilt Europe, right?
• 36:04
  What what did we do?
• 36:06
  We do we go in and take everything?
• 36:08
  No.
• 36:08
  Are there times that we should take some things?
• 36:11
  Is it is it righteous when you're in a war that the winner takes the spoils?
• 36:16
  Yes.
• 36:16
  Have we done that?
• 36:17
  No.
• 36:17
  We usually go in and rebuild the people and we help them and we do this and that, even for people that are enemies, right?
• 36:23
  We went into Japan and we rebuilt Japan and set them up on a on a uh a way to go forward.
• 36:29
  Made him into a thriving nation.
• 36:31
  Right?
• 36:32
  This is what the American people have done.
• 36:34
  We have to stop this nonsense of this hate America, hate our history, hate everything.
• 36:39
  There were bad things that happened, but we fixed them.
• 36:43
  Right?
• 36:43
  Yes, slavery was a horrible abomination to humanity.
• 36:47
  We got rid of it.
• 36:48
  Right?
• 36:49
  Part of the civil war, the hundreds of thousands of people who died, died to end slavery.
• 36:55
  Those people died.
• 36:57
  Who's gonna give reparations to the families of those soldiers who died to end slavery?
• 37:02
  Right?
• 37:02
  So we're hearing all this reparations talk, and and they people can argue that either way, it doesn't matter to me.
• 37:08
  You can argue it.
• 37:08
  I don't think it's legitimate, but you can argue it and make a case for it.
• 37:12
  But what about those soldiers who died to end slavery?
• 37:16
  Don't their families deserve something?
• 37:18
  Couldn't they have been wealthy people, but their their father got wiped out, their brother got wiped out.
• 37:23
  We can make all kinds of arguments about things like this.
• 37:26
  But the reality is America is the place where normally when we do something wrong, we fix it and we move forward, right?
• 37:36
  So all of this hatred of our country, this this uh, you know, we're bad and we were a colonial, the whole world was a colonial power.
• 37:44
  That's how it was.
• 37:46
  Okay.
• 37:46
  Uh, you know, I've told you many times that I have uh Native American blood coursing through my veins.
• 37:52
  Now it's only a small amount, but my uh my grandmother was, I think she was she was Irish and uh Native American and her mother was all Native American, right?
• 38:04
  So I have I I am part Native American, right?
• 38:07
  Um, and they talk about oh the the we came in and we took over this whole it's illegitimate land we took you know that's how the world was.
• 38:15
  That's how the world was.
• 38:17
  People went out and expanded their thing.
• 38:19
  Now, could you say it was right or wrong at the time?
• 38:21
  Should they have done it?
• 38:22
  Was it nice to do?
• 38:23
  Was it nice to do, but that's how the world is.
• 38:26
  That's how the world was.
• 38:27
  That's how the world got to be where it is.
• 38:29
  We can't go back and fix that.
• 38:32
  If not, why don't you give up your house?
• 38:34
  Go find a uh uh a nice uh family that's related to me, Native American family, and say, you know what, you can have my home because it was taken illegitimately uh 200 years ago.
• 38:43
  You're not gonna do that.
• 38:44
  No, you're not.
• 38:45
  Everybody's just gonna talk.
• 38:46
  The reality is, you know, the the Native American tribes fought with each other.
• 38:52
  They conquered each other, they took each other uh as slaves.
• 38:56
  They took each other's women and children.
• 38:58
  They wiped each other out.
• 39:00
  That is human nature.
• 39:02
  And the expansion of the 1500s, 1400s, 1600s, as we expanded out and and came to this uh this continent.
• 39:11
  That's what happened.
• 39:12
  That's what people did all over the world.
• 39:15
  Uh in every nation, in every group of people everywhere, there's been those kinds of conflicts.
• 39:21
  To deny that and say, well, it wasn't right, so therefore we're all evil is so ridiculous that even even dealing with that anymore is a waste of all of our time.
• 39:33
  It doesn't do any good for us to have that that argument to even discuss it.
• 39:39
  Right?
• 39:39
  Um There's still slavery going on today in Africa.
• 39:44
  People are still enslaved in Africa.
• 39:46
  Uh we're seeing Christians wiped out in Africa.
• 39:50
  Where's the where's everybody's anger there?
• 39:52
  There's we like to fight for the oppressed people.
• 39:55
  Well, there's oppressed people there, people being dragged into slavery, people being
• 40:00
  Slaughtered because of their religion.
• 40:02
  Where's all our friends on the left screaming and hollering about that?
• 40:06
  This is why, again, this is another reason that when we look at the things that people say, we should listen to their argument.
• 40:13
  What argument are they making?
• 40:14
  And when it's absurd and ridiculous, we have to say it's absurd and ridiculous, we're not going to even listen to you.
• 40:19
  You know, just because you have a point of view doesn't mean it's right or wrong.
• 40:23
  Right?
• 40:24
  So I know that's pretty strong.
• 40:25
  People don't like people speaking strongly.
• 40:27
  They don't like it.
• 40:28
  I remember Rush Limbaugh.
• 40:30
  Um I remember Rush saying that uh people were in in our modern times, you know, in our modern times, people are offended when someone has a strong opinion.
• 40:39
  They're offended when someone has confidence in their point of view.
• 40:43
  They're they're offended, they're scared when they hear that.
• 40:46
  Well, I I don't agree with that.
• 40:48
  You know, if I'm wrong about something, I will take it back.
• 40:52
  If I'm wrong about something, I will learn and modify my position.
• 40:55
  I think I made that clear already.
• 40:58
  So when we look at the world that we're dealing with now, we're seeing this rise of socialism and communism, and a change in how Americans deal with each other.
• 41:15
  And it's it's not good.
• 41:16
  And it's not good, and we have to move forward and find a better way.
• 41:21
  And this is where we need politicians, leaders, these who these are who our leaders are, right?
• 41:27
  Um, to stand up and speak the truth and try and find a way to get together.
• 41:33
  Now, part of the problem that we have, pretty clear, uh, is that we see when our media, the majority of our mass media of the mainstream media, is all on board with one party, the Democrat Party, they're all liberals, they're progressive, they're socialists.
• 41:50
  Very few places are conservative.
• 41:52
  Uh we have here, uh, for the most part, you have any any free speech here on America Out Loud.news is uh no one calls me and tells me what to talk about or not to talk about or what I should say or shouldn't say or can say or can't say.
• 42:05
  I can take any opinion I want, and it's free speech.
• 42:08
  It's it's what free speech was meant to be.
• 42:11
  But we know in the media, they they lie, they trick, they make things up.
• 42:17
  Uh they don't take both sides, they don't question both sides fairly, they don't look for the truth.
• 42:23
  They look to back up what they believe or what they want to believe.
• 42:26
  And that's why in our modern world, we have such a difficulty, because the media is where so many people get their opinions.
• 42:35
  Uh, and social media, young people, they don't watch the news anymore, they get it from social media from TikTok and uh from all these other places.
• 42:42
  And uh if you ever go on there, I'm on all the social media platforms.
• 42:46
  I go on there to listen, see what's goes on, I watch all the other news, I pay attention, so I can hear what's going on, and it is it's amazing how much absurdity, ridiculousness, and lying goes on out there and is treated as oh, it's a perfectly legitimate opinion when it's not, right?
• 43:04
  So we see this this void in our country, and as we move forward, we're looking at New York is now going to be it's gonna be an experiment.
• 43:14
  It's been an experiment in socialism.
• 43:17
  We just had uh Mayor Mamdani just appointed a woman who who obviously came out of college, she's her head is twisted and she's a socialist and probably more of a communist.
• 43:29
  Uh, she did she describes herself as a socialist, but she's more of a communist.
• 43:33
  And they are in power now.
• 43:35
  And he's gonna give free busing, he's gonna give freeze the rents, he's gonna do this, he's gonna do that.
• 43:39
  Basically, he's got the government is gonna take over life in the city to make it better for everyone, right?
• 43:46
  I'm here from the government, I'm here to help.
• 43:48
  So we're gonna see how that experiment goes.
• 43:50
  So you have people who have money, who run businesses, who have apartments, who rent things out, who who make uh commerce happen in the city.
• 44:01
  And these people are now gonna be targeted, and this woman that he appoints comes out and says that housing is racist, and it should be more community oriented, and that's really gonna affect white families the most.
• 44:18
  What kind of a thing is that to say?
• 44:20
  What does that mean in America?
• 44:23
  That, well, you know, housing, owning a home is kind of racist, and we have to change our relationship with private property.
• 44:32
  This is not some nutcase in a college classroom somewhere, giving a lecture to a bunch of uh mush minded children.
• 44:40
  This is an individual pointed, appointed to a position of authority in the mayor's office in New York City, the biggest city in the world.
• 44:50
  And she's saying that we have to have a different relationship with homeownership and private property.
• 44:56
  Well, what kind of different relationship can we have if you don't own your home?
• 45:01
  Well, then the state will own your home and decide who gets to live where?
• 45:06
  Well, let's just think for a minute.
• 45:08
  We have all those high-rises, those beautiful uh penthouse apartments, those 50-story, hundred-story buildings, beautiful views of the city, very, very luxurious living.
• 45:20
  Who's gonna live in those apartments?
• 45:22
  Who's gonna live there?
• 45:24
  Do you think it's gonna be um you and me?
• 45:27
  Are they gonna give us one of those beautiful apartments?
• 45:29
  Or are those gonna go to the special people that they want to give it to?
• 45:35
  And I say special people, I'm not talking about any individual group.
• 45:38
  I'm talking about people that believe what they believe.
• 45:41
  People that are just like Animal Farm, George Orwell's Animal Farm.
• 45:46
  Everyone will be equal, but some will be more equal than others.
• 45:50
  That is what that kind of government gives you.
• 45:55
  You know, go go read about it.
• 45:58
  And if you're sitting there saying, No, no, it's just never been done right.
• 46:01
  And once it's done right, it'll be great.
• 46:03
  Okay, well, it's been done all over the world, and every time it's done, it fails.
• 46:10
  So what's gonna what's what's this gonna turn out like?
• 46:13
  How is this going to turn out when we see what are they gonna do?
• 46:17
  Take away private property, are they gonna confiscate property?
• 46:20
  Well, they're already saying they're going to tax the rich even more.
• 46:25
  The rich are gonna pay.
• 46:26
  Uh the money they're going to transfer, which is a nice way of saying they're going to steal your money, uh to so they can give free housing, free busing, free this and free that.
• 46:37
  Well, it has to come from somewhere.
• 46:39
  They're gonna have to take it from some people.
• 46:42
  Now, I am not one of those ultra-rich people.
• 46:46
  I'm not.
• 46:47
  Um, but I don't hate those people because they have more than me.
• 46:52
  You know, um, I I look back and I say, there's there was a time when I would see people that would that thought I was rich because I had more than them.
• 47:01
  I had more money than them.
• 47:02
  But they didn't see that I worked harder, I had three jobs, um, I I created things that's that sold that people would be willing to buy, and that gave me extra income.
• 47:12
  They just thought I had more than them, and therefore I was rich.
• 47:15
  And I'm not rich, believe me.
• 47:17
  Uh not by any account am I rich.
• 47:20
  But when we look at people and we see that someone has more than us, and we say, well, I live on much less than that, so they can too.
• 47:30
  Let's take everything they have above that, and you know, they can live like the rest of us.
• 47:35
  Who who decides that?
• 47:38
  Who decides that?
• 47:39
  Right off the bat, you have to say to yourself, is that freedom and liberty and justice?
• 47:46
  Well, then it's justice.
• 47:48
  Why should somebody have millions of dollars and other people have nothing?
• 47:51
  Well, that is just a fact of life.
• 47:55
  There is no fair.
• 47:56
  We talked about this already.
• 47:58
  There is no fair.
• 47:59
  Uh, if those if if anyone, whether you're rich or poor, are doing things um inappropriately, criminally taken advantage, you should be held to account.
• 48:09
  Right?
• 48:09
  You should be held responsible for the bad things that you do, whether you're a rich person or you're a poor person.
• 48:15
  But the reality is to go and take somebody else's stuff because you think they have more than they need, that is inappropriate.
• 48:24
  That's not right.
• 48:25
  That is um that's the epitome of this kind of thinking that somebody that has one dollar more than you, uh, they don't need that dollar.
• 48:35
  So we'll take it and we'll split it between those who that's that's that leads to the downfall of a nation.
• 48:44
  When you try and make everyone equal by the force of government, what you do is you make everyone equal, but down below.
• 48:54
  The standards have to go down.
• 48:56
  That's just how it always works out.
• 48:59
  So you can disagree with me.
• 49:01
  You can say that it just hasn't been done right, it hasn't been done fairly, but the reality is that's what happens every time that this kind of an experiment is tried, and we're gonna watch it.
• 49:10
  We're gonna see what happens.
• 49:12
  Now, wealthy people, they can vote with their feet.
• 49:16
  They can say, you know what, you're not taking half of my money.
• 49:20
  I'm just going to pack my bags and leave.
• 49:23
  I'm going to get out of New York and I'm going to go somewhere that's more conducive to me living my life with what I've earned or what I'm earning, or what I would whatever was left to me in inheritance.
• 49:33
  Doesn't matter.
• 49:34
  It's their money.
• 49:35
  It's not your money to take from them.
• 49:38
  No matter what you think they need or don't need, even if you think their lifestyle is immoral because they have limousines and they have private airplanes and they have the best of everything and they've doesn't matter what you think.
• 49:51
  Someone else's life, unless they've done it illegally to you, is none of your concern.
• 49:58
  You know, when I was a young person.
• 50:00
  I remember seeing Donald Trump on the news.
• 50:02
  And I remember seeing him running around the city and he's building this building and he's doing this and that.
• 50:07
  And at the time I said, man, that must be a great lifestyle.
• 50:11
  I would like to be like that.
• 50:13
  I'd like to be a guy that could run around and build buildings and uh and create this great wealth and make the city really cool.
• 50:20
  I would love to do that.
• 50:22
  I didn't look at him and go, that's horrible that he does that.
• 50:25
  Look at the life he lives.
• 50:26
  I should somebody should take half of his stuff and give it to seven other people.
• 50:30
  I never said a thing like that.
• 50:31
  That it never entered my mind to think like that, to take somebody else's stuff.
• 50:38
  But today, we have an entire entire generation of people who seem to think that that's appropriate.
• 50:48
  That that's one of the answers, and we're going to see what happens in New York and some other cities that have elected these socialist-minded people that think uh hey, uh, let's see, you've got too much, so we're gonna take from you and take from this one and take from that one, and then we're gonna give it to other people.
• 51:06
  Redistribution is a recipe for the destruction of America.
• 51:11
  And I know some of you out there right now are clapping at that thought.
• 51:14
  Yes, let's destroy it and remake it in the image that we want it to be.
• 51:20
  So this is where this is where we now start to uh pull all the threads of everything we've been talking about, start to pull the threads and pull all these things together.
• 51:30
  People who are sitting there saying, yes, that's exactly right.
• 51:34
  Let's let's knock this country down, let's destroy what it is and remake it in the image that we want it to be.
• 51:42
  And this is where the two sides do not see eye to eye.
• 51:47
  This is where human nature is is gonna step in, and human nature always wins out.
• 51:53
  Human nature and reality always win out.
• 51:56
  It might take a long time, but it always wins out.
• 51:59
  So these people who are on the left, these socialist thinking people that think you can just come in and you can will a society to be the way you want.
• 52:10
  And if you can't will it, and you can't convince people to do it the way you want, you can force them to do it the way you want.
• 52:18
  This we're watching this all across the globe.
• 52:22
  Right now in Tehran.
• 52:24
  I was around when the Ayatollah took over, um, took over uh Iran and installed uh theocratic government there.
• 52:35
  Um now we're seeing it, you know, 40 years later, the people are in the street fighting to take it back over the other way, to get these people out of there so that they can have a life again, have freedom again.
• 52:49
  And that's usually um how these things are gonna go, because that's reality.
• 52:55
  Um taking taking uh uh a foothold.
• 52:59
  And we're gonna see that again because the pendulum's gonna swing.
• 53:04
  People are right now in the throes of this.
• 53:08
  Oh, so we we got our chance, we're gonna make it so fair.
• 53:12
  Uh we're gonna those immoral rich people, we're gonna teach them a lesson.
• 53:17
  Um, we're gonna make the the criminal justice system fair.
• 53:21
  Uh, you know, people commit crimes because they're forced to do it because of other evil people who have set the game against them, so therefore they have to rape rob and murder and all of this nonsense that the left has been spewing for these, you know, last 40 years is all coming to a head.
• 53:42
  It's at the point now where it's it's not theoretical anymore.
• 53:47
  We are at a junction in time when these people that believe things like that are gaining power, they're gaining influence, they're going to have opportunities to do the things that they say they're gonna do.
• 54:00
  New York is a perfect example.
• 54:01
  The mayor is there, the council is there, the state for the most part, uh not upstate, upstate New York and Long Island are very, very conservative, but the rest of the state, very, very liberal, and they have the state house, they have the government, they have the governor's mansion.
• 54:16
  They are gonna actually be able to do a lot of the things that they have said would make the world and New York a better, better place for all the people there.
• 54:26
  Well, we're about to see.
• 54:28
  We're about to see if that's going to happen or not.
• 54:31
  Um, you have not just a left-leaning politician running the city, you have an avowed socialist, which as time goes by, you will see more and more communist tendencies of, you know, the more that the more the city can run, the more regulation, the more rules, the more you can they can be in charge of things as opposed to individuals.
• 54:52
  You know, instead of, you know, rugged individualism, uh, we're gonna replace that with the warmth of collectivism.
• 54:58
  Uh, we're gonna see how warm that collectivism is.
• 55:01
  Uh because history tells us exactly how it's going to be.
• 55:05
  Uh look at Venezuela.
• 55:06
  Uh it had the fourth largest economy in the world, and then it was taken over by socialists, and it the people are eating their pets for food, right?
• 55:15
  And they're in the midst of a revolution to get to throw this craziness off.
• 55:20
  Well, because that's the way it goes.
• 55:22
  That's the way it always goes.
• 55:25
  Uh sometimes it takes many, many, many, many years to get rid of it.
• 55:28
  Look at the Soviet Union.
• 55:29
  Even the Soviet Union fell.
• 55:32
  After many, many years of ironclad uh government control of everything, it finally fell.
• 55:40
  Was replaced by, unfortunately, uh people like Putin, who is corrupt and just as evil as the Soviet Union was, but it's it we we see those kind of governments eventually always fall.
• 55:55
  Now the Chinese government, that's that's a different story.
• 55:58
  The people there have not fought back.
• 56:02
  They don't.
• 56:03
  They don't they don't seem to be uh people that want to fight back.
• 56:07
  They're busy just living their lives.
• 56:10
  Here he is having this this uh this war in Ukraine that he attacked the sovereign nation of Ukraine.
• 56:17
  He's killed how many Ukrainians, he's bombed civilian uh locations.
• 56:23
  Where's the protesters out in the street?
• 56:25
  Where's the protesters out in the street?
• 56:28
  Saying that this was horrible, that they've blown up uh places where pregnant women go to hospitals, they go children's buildings.
• 56:35
  No, we we don't we don't hear we are we're for Ukraine, but that's about it.
• 56:39
  Now you could talk about the Ukrainian government and Zelensky himself as being a corrupt individual.
• 56:44
  But we're we're see these kind of governments around the world, tyrannical governments, socialist governments, communist governments are a negative factor in human life.
• 56:55
  For those of us in America to sit back and watch that those what were once fringe people, you know, uh who's that communist that runs every year?
• 57:06
  I forget the guy's name.
• 57:07
  He runs constantly for president, never gonna win.
• 57:10
  All of a sudden, him and Bernie Sanders and AOC and all uh Mam Dani, all these people actually have power and influence, and the tide has turned where so many of our young people think that that is probably a better way to go.
• 57:25
  Well, history tells us it's not, that it only leads to misery, poverty, and horror.
• 57:33
  But we're all gonna find out, ladies and gentlemen, we're all gonna find out soon enough, because tomorrow is here.
• 57:40
  These things have have evolved into what do they say?
• 57:46
  You can vote in socialism, you have to fight your way out of it.
• 57:49
  I hope we don't have to deal with that.
• 57:52
  I listen, I'll be back.
• 57:54
  We have a lot more to talk about.
• 57:55
  Thanks for being here.
• 57:56
  This is the human equation.
• 57:58
  Have a great night.
