  Speaker 4: last night. We will give you our analysis of the
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: evidence left behind the crime scene, but we also want
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: to hear how it's impacting you where you are. Three
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: four eight eight two four two one seven our friends,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: great organization born out of Oklahoma and big here in
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: our flagship state of Virginia. The City Elders Program, Terrence
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Williams and Marshall Patty on with us talking about a
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: bunch of different things, but charity, uh. And one of
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: the things that winds up happening is the government steps
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: in and says we'll do charity because you won't and
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: then they build the taxing around that. Terrence. Our faith
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: teaches us that, you know, charity begins at home. Terrence.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: That's that's one of the things that I think churches,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: you know, And and I go all the way back
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: to Madison when he finally when he first passed, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom. He was concerned that
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: that the churches were going to take the easy way
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: and try to find the government for their their contributions.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: And they wanted to make sure that they they were
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: reaching out and were working for uh, their their parishioners,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: themselves and doing the aid you know, in their communities,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: so that if somebody needs help they lost a job
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: or something, you know, fire in their home and in
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the local community could help them because they knew each other.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: And it wasn't some dispassionate gray bureaucracy that you had
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: to fill out all the right forms and oh, if
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: you didn't fill out Form three oh seven B correctly,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: you've got to go all the way back to square one,
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: and you have to wait six months to apply again.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: And and and these are the things that I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: really upset people is that it sounds nice in a
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: political campaign. But it doesn't work nice the way it
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: did when the churches in the local community were doing
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: alms for those in need.
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: Absolutely. You know, part of the part of the problem
• 2:57
  Speaker 9: with the way the government has low to boom on
• 3:00
  Speaker 9: us is that it takes a lot of the money
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: that the average parishioner would have to be contributing into
• 3:07
  Speaker 9: the church. For that very reason, you know, the church,
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: the church should be self sustaining in a way to
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: have money to provide for to help people in their congregations.
• 3:21
  Speaker 10: That's the purpose of it. That's that's all.
• 3:23
  Speaker 11: I mean.
• 3:23
  Speaker 10: You go all the way back to Malachi where it
• 3:25
  Speaker 10: talks about bringing the times into the storehouse so that
• 3:28
  Speaker 10: there will be need in the house. You know, that
• 3:30
  Speaker 10: was for the reason for people to be able to
• 3:32
  Speaker 10: come to the church to receive to receive the help
• 3:37
  Speaker 10: they need. And you know, down through the years, it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 10: become we've attributed, we've allowed some things to go to
• 3:45
  Speaker 10: the government rather than the church, and you know, obviously
• 3:48
  Speaker 10: that's been problematic, and so the government has become larger.
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: Than what it's supposed to become because because we've we've
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: allowed it to be so. And so that's definitely something
• 4:01
  Speaker 9: that God never intended for us to do.
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: The government is the least efficient possible way of collecting
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: money and redistributing it. Think of all the layers of bureaucracy,
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: Think of just the collection of it. I mean, you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 8: Augusta County has what six people to collect your money
• 4:18
  Speaker 8: and six people to bill you. You know, this is
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: not an efficient use of you know, August Stanton Waynesboro.
• 4:25
  Speaker 12: I forget the numbers now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: I did when I was on the Board of supervisors.
• 4:28
  Speaker 13: But you know we have three fire chiefs, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 13: three you know, county and city leaders like six CFOs.
• 4:35
  Speaker 13: I mean, it's wild the bureaucracy we have just to
• 4:38
  Speaker 13: take money and the respend it on things that a
• 4:40
  Speaker 13: church or a person or organization can give directly to
• 4:43
  Speaker 13: the person the need or solve that problem right away
• 4:46
  Speaker 13: without you know, fifty percent of it being taken away
• 4:49
  Speaker 13: through bureaucracy.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: I think you are being generous there when you say
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: just fifty percent. Marshall and Terrance City Elders dot Com
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: is there group, and we've got to do our first
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: things here they're City Elders VA here in Virginia. Their
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: meeting tomorrow morning. But our first things sad story continues
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to get sadder out of British Columbia. Eighteen year old
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: biological male who for six years had been undergoing transition
• 5:21

• 5:27
  Speaker 4: the one who went in and shot up the high
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: school in Tumbler's Spring, tumblr Ridge, British Columbia. His name
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: was Jesse Van Rutslar and had been interviewed by police
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: multiple times for mental health checks before killing his mother
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: and stepbrother and six people in the school injuring nineteen
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: others twenty five others pardon me for Democrat states California, Colorado, Illinois,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: and Minnesota are assuing the Trump administration because they say
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: the restriction on public health monies coming from the government
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: is because of immigration opposition, not because they've been caught
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: wasting the money. The US House of Representatives has passed
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: the Save Act two eighteen to two thirteen. They swapped
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Tommy Massey for I had the note here from Texas,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: the El Paso representative who apparently was allowed to vote
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: even though the airspace was close to Henry Quailar. There
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: was my note. They swapped sides on the Save America
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Act requiring citizenship to get onto a voter rolls. Pentagon
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: says they're getting ready to deploy a second US Navy
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East as talks
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: breakdown with Iran, and the head of Instagram says he
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: doesn't believe that people can be clinically addicted to social
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: media platforms.
• 7:01
  Speaker 14: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 14: help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,
• 7:09
  Speaker 14: national Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders with the
• 7:13
  Speaker 14: US Department of Veterans Affairs, has more.

  Speaker 16: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 16: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 16: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 16: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 16: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 16: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 16: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 16: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 16: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 16: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51

  Speaker 18: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackan. It's always a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 18: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 18: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 18: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 18: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 18: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15

• 10:18
  Speaker 18: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 18: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 18: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 18: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 18: at home, but because of their acute senses. They also
• 10:32
  Speaker 18: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 18: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 18: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's

  Speaker 18: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a

• 13:12
  Speaker 3: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Joe Thomas absolutely stay.
• 13:20
  Speaker 24: I always wanted to be that pace.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: You know, the more this happens.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Was because it's a mixed up, I shook up.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I believe truly that one of the great corruptions in
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: our society can be summed up in four words, because
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I said, so, why do people leave the church? They
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: leave the church because they feel like it doesn't connect
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: to them. Why do the people not seek mental health
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: care because they feel like it's just a stigma, that
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: feeling like you don't fit in is just a solitary problem.
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: We isolate ourselves. We go looking online for problems and
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: we're talking, yes, in an abstract jumping off of the
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: story out of a tumble a ridge, British Columbia and
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: this eighteen year old who had been for six years
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: on transition therapy and a couple of reaction text emails
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: and such.
• 15:09
  Speaker 22: That we are.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: Ignoring problems rather than dealing with them. We would rather
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: go ask some bot on the computer than ask a
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: friend for help or a family member. And you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: we have some fun with the word ability. You know, Oh,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know what my abilities are. I don't know.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Availability is an ability, Charitability is an ability. And we
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: can't always answer the question number one. We have to
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: understand that the race is long. And just because you
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: don't know the answer today doesn't mean you're not going
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: to know the answer tomorrow or a week from tomorrow.
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: And again, I'm not trying to be Sunrise Sermonette, but
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: an eighteen year old who for whatever reason, And again,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: we know more about this kid in Canada than we
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: know about the one who climbed up on the hot
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: tin roof and tried to put a bullet in the
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: President's head. Why is that?
• 16:17
  Speaker 12: Huh?
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: And we need to know these things so that we
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: don't become these things. And there's a peril and I
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: watch this all the time. So we set up an
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: archetype in a story that we're trying to tell. We're
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: trying to tell a story, and the story is supposed
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: to tell you to not talk to strangers. So the
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: big bad wolf grabs Hansel and Gretel and takes them
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: into the woods and eats them. Do we write a
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: story that explains why the Big Bad Wolf.
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: Did that?
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Does Peter come out and protest on behalf of the
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Big Bad Wolf, saying, you know, Red Riding Hood was
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: asking for it or something along those lines.
• 17:08
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I said it that way.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but that's what we do now. We create
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: a story. We tell a story that's speaking to the
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: pain and suffering or the angst or the zeitgeist of
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: the day, and immediately we feel like, oh gosh, we
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: can't have a bad guy in this. The bad guy's
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: just got to be the misunderstood guy. And that's a
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: reality check. Yes, is anyone ultimately purely good? No, there
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: was only one person like that, and there was only
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: one fallen angel that's pure evil, and his arrogance even
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: had him take the one purely good one out into
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: the desert to try to win him over. I mean,
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: that's that's Jordan Belfort clanging, you know, brass set right there. Hey, geez,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: come on, come on out into the desert with me.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I'm a proposition for you, sell me this pen.
• 18:15
  Speaker 22: Anyway.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: So we all have good and evil in us. We
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: have seven vices, we have seven virtues. We choose the
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: vices because we're on the we're in the dominion of
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: the deceiver, and he tells us, Oh, it's much more
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: fun to do devices. You know what I'm saying. But
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: we also ignore one another. We have more ability than
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: any generation in history to communicate with one another, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: we do less and less and less of it. We
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: get more messages for more bots, more AI generated regurgitation
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: of things we've already said in an echo chamber of mania.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: And here's the national security concern to this. What happens
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: when the EMP goes off and we don't have the
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: electronic conversation machine? Do we walk out outside and start
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: talking to one another? Like it's just like the all
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: the multitudes that were locked to the Truman Show every night.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: And then as soon as Truman walked out of the
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: studio of the fake world he lived in two seconds later,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I was like, anyone, no, what else is on? I mean,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: would we be those people? Would we go find our
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: neighbors and tell hey, I didn't know you lived here?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: I Levia ten years I've been on the Internet. And
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: it's not that we're addicted to social media. It's that
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: we have addiction in us. Tying the story together of
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: the Instagram CEO and his testimony in Los Angeles. Is
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: social media addicting? Everything is addicting. Peanut butter is addicting. Gambling, alcohol, sex,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: ask Bill Clinton, radio, free cell, you name it. There
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: are things that will wheedle in and the oh, I
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: just do this for a couple of minutes to relax.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Three hours later, you done in there. Other people need
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: to use the bathroom. We all have addiction in us.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: The sooner we realize that, the better we are apt
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: to handle it. I know some of the things that
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I am particularly perceptible too, and I try to be
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: aware of them. It doesn't mean I avoid them completely.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: But I have friends, dear friends, who have succumbed to
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: their addictions to the point of self destruction, and they
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: just can't do it anymore. They just can't touch it. Drugs, alcohol,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: you name it, gambling. But we have to listen to
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: one another. If you're a faith leader, you have to
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: listen to your parishioners. If a teenager comes to you
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: and said, father, I mean it's don't say do twelve

  Speaker 4: the bush, you better make sure he has a window
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: seat there. But that's the thing in a gobsmacking tragedy
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: of what is the story now coming out? And I
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: don't know if the authorities can stop the narrative. The
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Royal Canadian and Mounted Police detective in charge outed it
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: by admitting to the press that he was a biological
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: male who had been taking transitioning drugs for six years,
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: but had also had multiple interactions with the police to
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: the point of having the firearms in the house taken away,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: and then the father got him back. And where is
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: the father? Kid killed his mother and stepbrother. I presume
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have spoken with this kid's father.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: But at one point in this story, there was a
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: twelve year old who was going through a bad time
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: and instead of saying hey, and let's think about where
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: we were twenty twenty six years ago COVID lockdowns, kids
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: are being told don't talk to your friends, they'll kill you,
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: stuck in your house, no support groups at all. A
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: twelve year old in British Columbia's like, I just you know,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: I hate myself. Maybe he was cutting. There's some videos
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I haven't vetted these videos going around about this. This
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: kid looks like he's too caught up in Heath Ledger's joker.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he's injuring himself or anything like that,
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: nor do I need to. I just know that the
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: authorities had been called multiple times. But somewhere in twenty
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: and twenty there was a twelve year old kid who
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: was in pain and hated himself, and choices were made
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: to rather than try to cure or help through the
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: dark places, they offered medical science and think about six
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: years ago. What we know now we have these think
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: about the things that they were doing to him six
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: years ago, puberty blockers and things like that that are
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: our cane compared to even the ones we use now,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: which we already know are messing with hormones in a way.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: You know, has anyone seen the Frankenstein movie that just
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: came out, Del Toro's Frankenstein. I would love to know,
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: you know, if it's a fair retelling of Mary Shelley's book,
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: because we need I mean, no movie's going to it's
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: a but I think Kenneth Browno's with de Niro was
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: the Monster, which I always thought was a great turn literarily.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: The monster wasn't the monster. The monster was the doctor.
• 32:11
  Speaker 22: Was Victor.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: He was the monster who thought, I can do these things,
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: and I will, and I can do these things, so
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: therefore I must do these things, and he created his
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: own demise. There's a claxon call right there. And I
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: don't know about the modern the one that just came out,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen it. I read the book in high school,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: was shocked to find out it wasn't Herman Munster. I'm like, WHOA,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: what the hell is going on here? I love when
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: I find a book that I think I know about
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: and I dig into it and I'm like, I didn't
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: think this was about this at all. I loved Mary
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Shelley's Frankenstein. This one. One of our listeners up in Portland,
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Terry writes in Love It, Joe, that's what the left has,
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: a cookbook. It heard our reflections on the Twilight Zone
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: episode to serve mankind. That's what the Left has is
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: a cookbook. Whatever sticks they run with their transgender theory
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: is just another way for socialism to infiltrate humanity. Sadly
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: brilliant upon their thinking. First they took religion, entertainment, education,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: and now even at a cost to their own gay
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: and lesbian community, they assault humanity itself through their new
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: recipe of trans humanity, a corrupted, displaced thought about mankind,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: only to dehumanize and to lessen the experience of life itsself.

  Speaker 4: where Jefferson was writing it all up. I've been to

  Speaker 4: Madison's study where he wrote the Constitution. I like to
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: go to these places, Jamestown where they first said, hey,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: maybe we should all vote on this stuff. And boy,
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: that hasn't turned out. You know, we've become fixated with

  Speaker 4: the stories of these travails, and you get, oh, how
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: am I supposed to go on with my day, Joe?
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: But I think it's good to look back every now
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: and then. And Steve molloy is back with the Free
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: Enterprise Project, Considered one of the founding fathers of activist
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: shareholder combat of the woke left. Steve, welcome back to
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: the program. How are you doing, sir, well, good morning, jaff.
• 46:16
  Speaker 12: Thanks for having me back.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great to be a founding father. I know,
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: I guess powdered wig and everything or.
• 46:25
  Speaker 11: Well, this is this whole Conservative shareholder activism is something
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: that started more than twenty years ago launching a publicly
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: traded mutual fund.
• 46:38
  Speaker 26: Yeah.
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: The less has been doing this for a while. They
• 46:40
  Speaker 11: do it through their areas nonprofits, the investment firms. Now,
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: so I started one four conservatives.
• 46:47
  Speaker 22: It was a new.
• 46:47
  Speaker 12: Idea for conservatives. It was a kind of a hard
• 46:49
  Speaker 12: sell at the time. You know, people were like, well,
• 46:54
  Speaker 12: if I don't like what's say, you know, Bank of
• 46:56
  Speaker 12: America is do it.
• 46:57
  Speaker 11: I'm just going to sell my Bank of America stock
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: and buy stocked in another bank, or maybe I'll start
• 47:02
  Speaker 11: my own bank.
• 47:03
  Speaker 12: That was kind of you know, they didn't.
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: Realize what was going on, but was realized what was
• 47:08
  Speaker 11: going on was the left, the political left, was capturing
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: these corporate institutions and using them to advance their political agenda,
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: as we have seen, you know, in the past ten years,
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: and all of a sudden it you know, sprang up
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: on conservative radar as ESG. When I started out, it
• 47:28
  Speaker 11: was called corporate social responsibility. But then it became environment,
• 47:31
  Speaker 11: social you know, governments.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Well yeah, and that was that was when the Federal
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: Trade Commission started saying that we will will allow companies
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: to lose money as long as they say they're doing
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: it in the name of ESG. I think you and
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: I talked about how absolutely, you know, bizarro world it's become,
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: you know, and and that hopefully we were able to
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: stave it off before retirees got to their seventieth birthday
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: and realized their IRA had no money in it or
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: their four oh one K because the companies they were
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: invested in had you know, tossed it all into the
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: sea around a wind turbine.
• 48:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 48:12
  Speaker 11: So, uh, you know where we are now. President Trump
• 48:15
  Speaker 11: has come in and has tamped down a lot of
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: the EESG. You know, they're sort of they've sort of
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: abandoned the brand ESG. However, I think, you know, President
• 48:27
  Speaker 11: Trump is only tamped it down. I mean, these are
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: hardcore leftists that run these corporations, and so they may
• 48:33
  Speaker 11: be playing ball with Trump now, but as soon as
• 48:35
  Speaker 11: there's no Trump, they're gonna go back to what they
• 48:38
  Speaker 11: were doing. So, you know, I have joined the Free
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: Enterprise Project at the National Center for Bugging Policy Research
• 48:46
  Speaker 11: as a project. When when I holded up my mutual
• 48:49
  Speaker 11: fund twenty years ago, we left them with the nonprofit
• 48:51
  Speaker 11: portion of it.
• 48:52
  Speaker 12: And that's what this is. So I'm really you know,
• 48:55
  Speaker 12: taking control of it again.
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: And we'll be carrying the battle to corporate the boardrooms
• 49:01
  Speaker 11: and shareholder meetings, trying to get corporations back to neutral,
• 49:04
  Speaker 11: back to just making money for shareholders.
• 49:06
  Speaker 12: Yeah, not do it.
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: Not involved in the uh, you know, social political stuff.
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: Your businesses go ahead.
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, your your story also reminds me of
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: something that is frustrating to me as a you know,
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: free market capitalist, is there's a there's a word that
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: I haven't heard in this and it's not your fault.
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: It's the corporation's fault. Is I don't hear the customer
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: mentioned in their discussions. It's about shareholders, and it's about
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: the government, and it's about social programs, and and where
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: is serving the customer gone in these big corporate boardrooms.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Because I understand serving the shareholders they are technically a
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: part of your customer base. But you know, these corporations
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: have become so indiverse that they they've well they've become
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: so diverse, they've become impossible to have any customer focus.
• 50:01
  Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think the word is is arrogant.
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: The best example I can think of this is the
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: car industry. When the car industry.
• 50:10
  Speaker 11: Started making and selling cars that the government wanted, then
• 50:14
  Speaker 11: they can sell cars that the public want, where consumers
• 50:17
  Speaker 11: want or it's customers.
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: And so that's why everyone you know, and they and and.
• 50:21
  Speaker 11: You know, this has recently hit ahead with EVS, and
• 50:24
  Speaker 11: of course I was telling him that EV's this is ridiculous,
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: is a disaster, and of course it has been. They
• 50:30
  Speaker 11: have lost tens of billions of dollars. Ford lost nineteen
• 50:35
  Speaker 11: billion dollars in twenty twenty five on EV's thirty five
• 50:38
  Speaker 11: billion dollars since they've been doing EVS. Stillants just took
• 50:41
  Speaker 11: a twenty eight billion dollar hit for its EVS. GM
• 50:44
  Speaker 11: has you know also in the tens of billions of dollars.
• 50:48
  Speaker 12: I mean this has cost.
• 50:49
  Speaker 11: Shareholders a lot of money, car comes a lot of money,
• 50:52
  Speaker 11: consumers a lot of money. And it's all this ESG crap.
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: And so you know, the Left is not going away.
• 51:00
  Speaker 12: Joe here to stay.
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Ask our friends in France. They'll tell you yeah.
• 51:08
  Speaker 11: They their whole existence is pushing the left wing agenda,
• 51:15
  Speaker 11: you know, in their jobs, in their social relationships, in
• 51:19
  Speaker 11: whatever schools or institutions or golf garden.
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: Clubs, country clubs they belong to.
• 51:26
  Speaker 11: They are there to push their social and political agenda.
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: And conservatives aren't like that. We just want to lose
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: our lives.
• 51:32
  Speaker 12: We've got families to take care of our career, haad
• 51:35
  Speaker 12: make more money, blah blah blah. They don't.
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: They're there for the political social aspects. So what I'm
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: doing is pushing back on that.
• 51:45
  Speaker 12: At the corporate level.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, we've been on a bit of a
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: jag lately trying to you know, point out to people
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: when they get frustrated with corporate governance but also with
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: the political you know, supposed right and they talk about
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: rhinos and I said, no, they're not. I said, you
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: have to be more specific. They're Fabian socialists. There are
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: Fabian socialists in the Republican Party and in the Democratic
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: Party and apparently on these boards of these companies who
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: are taking over the establishment from the inside and they're
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: changing it without anyone saying, oh, I don't want that change,
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: because they wouldn't want that change if it came in
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: through the front door. Steve, We're going to run. I've
• 52:30
