• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's 6 Eastern, 3 o'clock Pacific, from coast to coast
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and around the world.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: the American voter as the Cracker Barrel rebrand has.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: From America Out Loud Talk Radio, it's time for Truth
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: The highest inflation in three years hit the American family
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday. They are feeling it. It's over 4% now.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I'm Booker. This is The Truth Be Told. We're going
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: to get into that right now. More Iranian bombings are
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: going on. Let me also say that Lieutenant Colonel Darren
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Gobb will be on the program tomorrow night, on Friday night.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I've invited him here, and he's been on the program
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: several times. He's a retired lieutenant colonel. He actually flew
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Apache helicopters. He did a lot of things in the military.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: You've seen him on Fox and Newsmax, and he's been here,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: as I said, several times. So He'll be here Friday
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: night because I wanted him to come tell us about
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: what it's like to fly in an Apache helicopter because
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: of what happened in Iran where a drone was shot
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and that drone landed between the seats of the pilots
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: of an Apache. And both of them are okay, by
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the way. I talked about the Apache flight and the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: shooting down of that Apache on the show last night,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: but both of those pilots were recovered and recovered. That
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: also precipitated what happened with Donald Trump deciding to fire
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: on them. And there was some more news that came
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: out of exactly what was going on there Monday, Sunday
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and over the weekend last weekend about oil, which we're
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: going to get to because oil is what is driving
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: this huge inflation and is a problem. And Donald Trump
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: was asked about it in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Are you concerned, Mr.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: No, I love it. The numbers were great.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Hang on right there, because there could be people that
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: take what Donald Trump just said there as wrong. And
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump can't say that. You know, is it insensitive?
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Is he not understanding how the American people are feeling?
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: We just had 4.2 percent inflation across the United States announced.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: The Consumer Price Index, it also rose. So it's not
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: good for the American people at the kitchen table, especially
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: those that are living paycheck to paycheck. Was that an
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: insensitive comment Donald Trump just made there? I love inflation,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: he said. Another 4.2% inflation went up. I love that,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump says. Let's listen again.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Are you concerned, Mr.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Could that be a negative for Republicans? No, I love it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I love the inflation report. What could he be talking
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: about there? And that's what the left will run with,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: that one little soundbite. This is the way Donald Trump talks. No,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I love it. And we're going to explain a little
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: bit about why he would love this inflation report. He
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: doesn't love the 4.2%, but what he goes on to
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: say is the 4.2% is going to come down real
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: fast when this thing in Iran is over. Listen to
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: him continue.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: You know what I really love?
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: I love the inflation. You know why?
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: Because as soon as this war is over, you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 8: I can say it now, something you didn't know. Do
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil?
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: Nobody knows.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: This is a big story. We have been taking out
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: millions of barrels of oil. As it turns out, Donald
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Trump is announcing for the first time, just coming off
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I Love the Inflation, which I'll get back to, and
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: what he is actually talking about. This is the way
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump talks. His mind is moving 100 miles an hour.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: He says, no, I love the inflation. And then that
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: clip will be used on MSNBC and everywhere else, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: people will say Donald Trump loves inflation. Well, he doesn't
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: love inflation. He loves the numbers, as he continued on
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: there in that conversation from that reporter that was asking
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: the question. And then he completely changed subjects to a
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: big breaking news story. about the oil that America has
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: been taking, which, by the way, is probably tied to
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the Apache being shot down Monday. The Apache that we're
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: going to talk about on Friday night with Lieutenant Darren Gobb.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: They are probably tied together. There have been operations going
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: on where America has taken 22 tankers of oil from Iran.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Iran didn't know it until this moment, according to Donald Trump.
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: Who doesn't know about it?
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Iran, until right now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: We took out the other night 22 ships late at
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: night with no lights because they don't have any radar
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out,
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: that's why oil is $ 85 a barrel. I mean, you
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: take a look. Remember when I did this, I said, look,
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: the one bad thing will be we hit the best
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: economy we've ever hit. And I said to my people,
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: I had Scott, I had Howard, I had Pete, I
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: had all of them. I had Todd in the room.
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: I said, the one thing We have to do now.
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: We had just hit the highest stock market in history.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: Highest 401k in history.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Everything was going well.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: And I said, I hate to do this to you guys,
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: but Iran's going to have a nuclear weapon very soon.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: We have to go and attack.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: So we hit them with the B-2 bombers. So Donald
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Trump knew that inflation was going to come with this Iran.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: He told his people, I hate to do this to you.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I know things are going great. GDP is up. Average
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: wage growth is up. Inflation is down, but we're going
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to have to do this. And now inflation is 4.2%.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump says, I love inflation. Why in the world
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: would he say that? As Americans are struggling, credit card
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: debt is higher than it's ever been. It's hurting people.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: It's hurting American families. Gas prices are expensive. It's summertime.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: People want to go on summer vacations. They're not going
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to do it. The president of the United States says,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I love inflation. That's not what he's saying. He loves
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: the numbers, he went on to say. And listen to
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: this story from CBS, and maybe this will make some
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: sense as to why Donald Trump says, I love the numbers,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: because if you dig a little deeper, you can get
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: rid of that 4.2% real quick when this thing in
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Iran is over.
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: Let's bring in Money Watch correspondent and CBS Saturday Morning
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: co-anchor Kelly O'Grady. Kelly, you've reported that the rise in
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: energy prices as a result of the war is driving
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: this inflation, but you're saying that that actually has a
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: silver lining.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I know if you're a consumer, you're probably saying, wait, what?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: But there was a little bit of good news in
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: this report.
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: So you're right.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Energy drove most of this over the past year. Gas
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: prices rose over 40 percent in the month of May alone,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: 7 percent. But when you strip out food and energy,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: prices only rose 0.2 percent in the month of May.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: That's actually pretty good.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: And so what that tells me is that the inflation
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: that we're seeing is localized to energy right now and
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: hasn't seeped into the rest of the economy yet.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: And that is some good news.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: 0.2% inflation if you take out the oil and energy. 0.2%.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: A great inflation number is 2%. So when the Iran
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: war is over or done, whenever that is, as Donald
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Trump is saying, I love the numbers. He loves those numbers.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: He doesn't love 4.2%. That's the way his brain works.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: He just went to about three different subjects there in
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: about 20 seconds. He ended up on the Iran war
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and taking 22 tankers. That's where he ended up. But
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that's not where the question started, was it? That's how
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: he bounced around there. But 4.2 overall inflation, not a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: great number, a bad number for the American people at
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: the kitchen table, especially considering that there is a midterm election.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Primary elections are going on now. But you put all
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: of that aside, put it all aside for a moment. 0.2%
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: inflation for everything other than energy. And the energy can
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: come down, but Donald Trump has to get everything over
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: with in Iran. And that's not going well in reality
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: because he has gone on for eight weeks trying to
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: negotiate with who knows who he is trying to negotiate with.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: And it's not getting anywhere. Let's be honest. It is
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: not going anywhere. And I think Donald Trump has finally
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: had enough. I'm not sure, but it seems like he has.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: The bombs are bombing away in Iran, went through Wednesday night,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and it continues. Here's Trey Yinkst with Fox News.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Currently in the Situation Room with Vice President J.D. Vance,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: along with Special Envoys Kushner and Witkoff, the president giving
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: new insight into what is taking place as we speak.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: There is an ongoing bombing campaign against the Iranian regime.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: The president tells Fox News that 49 Tomahawk missiles were used...
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to hit targets inside of Iran, some of them as
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: close as 40 miles from the Iranian capital of Tehran.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: The president said that U.S. fighter jets are also operating
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: over the skies of Iran, taking out radar systems and
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: air defense systems in the southwestern part of the country
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: close to the Persian Gulf.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I brought this to you on the show several weeks ago,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: probably about a month ago, that there were 33 missile
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: sites along the Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran, southeast Iran.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: And they had been blown up at the beginning of
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: this conflict. And 30 of 33 had been repaired near
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the Strait of Hormuz. That's where a lot of this
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: bombing is going on. So they, again, are bombing the
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: same places that we bombed before. This doesn't sound like
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: it's going to let up until the Iranians are ready
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: to make a deal. And I don't think you can
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: make a deal with them. Do you remember before the ceasefire,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: which was April 7th? When was that? Two months ago now.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Hard to believe. Before that, Donald Trump had Bridge Day coming.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: He was going to bomb the bridges and energy, Bridge
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and Energy Day. He said, that's where we are back
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: to now. After eight weeks, we're right back to where
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: we were. on April 6th. Time to bomb Iran, time
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: to get this over with so that that 4.2 inflation
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: can go way down. As Donald Trump says, I love
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the 4.2 inflation. And again, because the other numbers look good.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: This economy could be humming in the second half of
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: 2026 for those people sitting at the kitchen table who
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: are struggling month to month, paycheck to paycheck with the
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: highest credit card debt in American history. That's what Donald
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Trump ran for, and that's what I voted for him for,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: are those things.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: This is all taking place as the Iranians are trying
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: to get the United States to stop the bombing campaign.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: President Trump told me that Iran called him tonight. Top
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Iranian officials and President Trump spoke directly, according to the
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: commander-in-chief tonight, as the president was sitting in the Situation Room.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: This was Wednesday night, as Trey Yinks is talking that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: President Donald Trump called him and talked to him and
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: said this happened.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And he told me that the Iranians asked them to
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: stop bombing. And the president said to me, the bombing
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: will stop shortly. I asked him, what will happen if
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the Iranians do not sign an agreement that was put
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: forward by American negotiators? President Trump said... quote, will bomb
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the S out of them tomorrow night. And so the
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: president is leaving the military option on the table if
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the Iranians are unwilling to sign this good faith deal
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: that would ultimately open the Strait of Hormuz and ensure
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: that they cannot advance a nuclear program toward a nuclear bomb.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: You cannot make a deal with Iran. You never could.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: You never will be able to. It's just not going
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: to happen. So move on from the deal. Let's go
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to bridge day. Let's go to energy day. Bring them
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: to their knees. It's time for that to happen. Pete
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Hexeth was at Central Command in Tampa on Wednesday, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: he came out after being briefed by a bunch of
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: different people. And here's what he had to say. Some
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: resolve here from Pete Hexeth before all of this happened
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday night. Good afternoon, everybody.
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: It's good to be here at U.S.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Central Command.
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: Admiral Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, was going to be
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: here with me. We just got done with detailed briefings.
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: But of course, he is busy because CETCOM, Central Command,
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: will be busy tonight because President Trump said we will
• 12:44
  Speaker 10: be hitting Iran hard and we will be. Because Iran
• 12:47
  Speaker 10: has a chance to make a good deal, a great deal,
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: to codify what.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: They said they've been willing to do and they.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Haven't been willing to do it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: As President Trump said, they've been tap, tap, tapping. You
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: can see when someone's trying to tap, tap, tap on
• 13:01
  Speaker 10: a deal. Instead, they're going to have tap, tap, tap
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: bombs dropping on key facilities.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Will that work? Because Iran has been tap, tap, tapping
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: for 47 years. That's how they negotiate. We talked about
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: that on this show months ago, that there is no
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: deal to be had with Iran because you can never
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: trust them when you have a deal anyway, and this
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: is what they do. They play you every time. It
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: sounds like Hegseth and Donald Trump, they are changing their
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: tone here. Maybe finally they will have to admit that
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Iran is not going to negotiate. There's no reason to
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: negotiate with them.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: And that's not because we want to restart anything we
• 13:40
  Speaker 10: don't have to restart. It's because we are, the War
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: Department is prepared to set the terms to ensure that
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: we get the kind of deal President Trump expects. And
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: Admiral Cooper and the team here at CENTCOM has done
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: a phenomenal job from the beginning, on Epic Fury and
• 13:56
  Speaker 10: through this blockade, ensuring that we have a chance to
• 14:00
  Speaker 10: reach that end state, which is Iran will never have
• 14:03
  Speaker 10: a nuclear weapon, which they say they don't want. And
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: so since we're so close to that negotiated deal, if
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: that's the case, they.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Should step up and do it. And again, we will
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: have Lieutenant Colonel Darren Gobb on Friday night to discuss
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: about what it would be like flying in an Apache helicopter.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: He's a former pilot of Apache. And have a drone
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: come in and land between you and the co-pilot. That's
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: what happened on Monday during the operation to get 22
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: tankers of oil away from Iran, and America now has that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: An incredible story there. Lieutenant Colonel Derringa will be here
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Friday night to talk about what happened in that Apache
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: on Monday and what that may have felt like. Act
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Blue was in a hearing on Capitol Hill. Do you
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: know who Act Blue is? ActBlue is the funding arm
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: of Democrats, of the DNC. They get all the money.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: They raise money, millions and millions, if not more than billions.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Who knows how much they have taken in over the year?
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: They are the organization that does that. And there have
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: been a lot of questionable things around ActBlue. And members
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: of the House of Representatives, they had questions for ActBlue
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: on Wednesday in this hearing. Let's start here, where the
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: hearing started.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: Or affirm that the testimony that you're about to give
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: so help you God. Let the record show that the
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: witness answered in the affirmative. You may be seated. I'll
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: begin our questions today, followed by the ranking member.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: This is Representative Steele here asking the questions. He is
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the chairman of this committee. The person he is talking
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: to is the leader of ActBlue. Here he goes.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: Foreign funds have no place in American political campaigns.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: We can agree with that.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: American elections are for American citizens only.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: Ms.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: Wallace-Jones, in 2023, I sent you this letter with five
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: straightforward questions with a goal of confirming that foreign funds
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: are not in our elections and that ActBlue had adequate
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: fraud prevention measures in place. You replied a month later
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: with a four-page letter describing your fraud prevention policies, and
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: procedures that you had in place at ActBlue. But according
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: to the New York Times, your response to this committee
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: may have been false and misleading.
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: Ms.
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: Wallace-Jones, when you signed this letter to me, did you
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: believe that this letter was false and misleading?
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: On the advice of my counsel, I respectfully decline to
• 16:43
  Speaker 11: answer this question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under
• 16:47
  Speaker 11: the Constitution. Ms.
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Wallace-Jones, before you sent this letter, did you believe, was
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: it brought to your attention that this letter that you
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: sent me was false and misleading?
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: And it doesn't stop. She continues to answer every question
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: that way. In fact, one representative asked if this is
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: your name. And she responded the same way. All day
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: in this hearing, she did that. Here's Representative Jim Jordan
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: from Ohio.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: How much fraud is too much fraud?
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: the question.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stay here. She keeps answering this way.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: You don't have to keep hearing it. I'll talk over her.
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: But Jim Jordan.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: Act Blue took money from foreigners like Russia and China
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: and other places that had an influence on our elections.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: That's what Act Blue has done, among other things. They
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: also steal people's identities in a way. and use them
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: to make donations, even though those people have no idea
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: they are making donations. That's how they do it with
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: these foreign countries, with smurfing. James O'Keefe brought that to
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: our attention years ago. More of the programs coming up.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Please stay with us.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: More Truth Be Told with Booker Scott in minutes on
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: America Out Loud.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: All of us were told from a very early age,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: you are what you eat. And if that's the case,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: don't you want the best for you and your family?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you where you can go do that.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: You can go to beefinitiative.com. That's beefinitiative.com, where they will
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: connect you with a rancher somewhere in your state. And
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: it's more than just making sure you're eating the right
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: things and your family is. It's about America. Let's be honest.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: It is. America's farmers and ranchers are the backbone of
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: this great nation, and now more than ever, supporting local
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: agriculture matters. The American Beef Initiative USA is dedicated to
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: strengthening food independence, protecting generational farming families, and reconnecting communities
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: with trusted local food sources and food security. This isn't
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: just about beef. It's about protecting independence. Go to beefinitiative.com.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: That's beefinitiative.com. That first segment. here tonight kind of gave
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: me a headache. That political theater that goes on in
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: congressional hearings. Realize that nothing that happens there really means anything.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: The business is done behind doors that we don't see.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: We never see that part of what happens on Capitol Hill.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: One person that wants to go to Capitol Hill, I'm
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: not sure why he wants to join that and have
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: a headache every day, but he does. He's here. We're
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: going to have a conversation with him. Maybe we can
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: find that out. His name is Michael Carbonaro. His name
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: is Michael Carbonaro. And I hope I said that right.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: I tried. How did I do, Michael?
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: It's a bit of a tongue twister, but yeah, you
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: got it right there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Carbonaro is correct. Is that right?
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, let's talk about you. You're a young man,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: successful man in business. It seems like your life is
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: going great from all appearances, and now suddenly you decide
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: you want to join this mess in our nation's capital.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Why is that? What motivates you to get there?
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I've been an entrepreneur most of my life, and I
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: love creating businesses.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: I love solving problems.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: I've built successful businesses in banking and cryptocurrency.
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: Fertility care.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: And, you know, I'm at a point in my life where,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: you know, I see what's everything that's going on. We
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: have a lot of divisiveness in this country. And frankly,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: a lot of it is because there are people like
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Debbie Washman Schultz that are creating that divisiveness and tear
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: the country apart. You know, she's been a career politician
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: for over 20 years and all she does is vote
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: to increase taxes, increase the size of government, and everyone
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: our freedoms away. And I have kids now, a three-year-old
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: and a four-month-old. And I think everybody, when they become
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: a parent, they start looking at things a little differently.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: And we all want to have a better world, a
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: better country for our kids to grow up in. So
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: I just felt compelled. This is a time in my
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: life where I'm able to contribute and do my part
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: to help the country, to help the community.
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: And that's what I want to do.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I want to restore the freedoms and make America free
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: for the next generation and all Americans.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: I talk to a lot of politicians and it seems
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: like they have that idea as they go in. But
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: somewhere along the way, things get, you know, messed up
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: for them and their ideals and what they want to accomplish.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: You mentioned Debbie Wasserman Schultz there. That would be who
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: you would run against should you make it through the
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: primary election. This is Congressional District 25 down in the Miami,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: kind of sandwiched between Fort Lauderdale and Miami, isn't it?
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's correct. That's about half of Broward County.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: And, yeah, she's been there for over 20 years. I
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: haven't actually met anybody that likes her there, but she's
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: been there.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: For so long.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why is that? Why does she continue to get elected?
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Because I don't like her. I don't know. I'm like you.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know anybody that likes Debbie Wasserman Schultz. By
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: the way, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she was the one that
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: had the IT specialists that were trying to get out
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: of the country, and they brought them back. And by
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: the way, Nancy Pelosi and Wasserman Schultz, they paid them $ 800, 000.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: You can look that up and find out about that story.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Why is it that the people there in the 25th
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Congressional District in Florida continue to vote for her?
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: You know, that's a good question.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: You know, people, you know, they like doing what they know. And,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: you know, maybe that they just, things are changing and,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: you know, they see the world changing. And I think
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: that what I'm bringing to the table here is a
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: little bit different. I'm not somebody that's been in politics.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: Debbie Washington Schultz has never had a job in the
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: private sector.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: She only knows big government. That's a lot of problems. Exactly.
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: And people like that, they can only solve problems by
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: creating more government. I want to go in there, fix things,
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: solve problems. by what we know from the private sector,
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: which means efficiency, low cost, and giving things back to
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: the people rather than taking away.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Let's go back into your life. You are originally from
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: New York. Is that correct?
• 24:06
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: Yes, that's right.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And your mom was a single mom. She raised you
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: in church. And then, I guess, what, 2010? 11, 12,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: you move to Miami. You are married to a Cuban woman,
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: which in Miami, there is a big presence of Cubans there.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: And by the way, they are huge Americans. They're huge
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: freedom and liberty people. When you meet a Cuban in
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Miami or you meet a Cuban in America, you can
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: know that they love freedom and liberty. That's why they
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: are here. Talk about your journey from New York to Florida.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you're right.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: I mean, I came to Florida. I was younger. I
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: was still trying to figure out what I was doing
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: with my life, start my businesses. And I came down here,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: met my wife. And actually, we.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: Were pretty much as soon as I think the first
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: week I was.
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: Down here, we started dating.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: How long have you been together?
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: 13 years now.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Okay. Met her on the first day down there and
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: or first week. And you've been together all these years.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: That's a a great story. And now you have two
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: young children and your motivation for doing this, I would
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: assume would be for their future, uh, You see what
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: is going on in this country. You mentioned how divided
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: we are as a country, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz is
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: one of those that, with her rhetoric, she continues to
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: flame those fires to the point that someone like Charlie
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: Kirk takes a bullet last week. How do you solve
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: those problems? How can we work across the aisle again?
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Because this has been a long time, probably 30 years.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've actually thought a lot about this, and without getting,
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: this can be a very long conversation, but I like
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: to think about Marks and McLuhan, if you know who
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: he is. He was known as the godfather of communications
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: of the 20th century, and he said that when people
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: are reading media, whether it's print, radio, or TV, it's
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: a constant self-identification feedback loop. Now, we take that forward
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: to social media, which is just 24 seven propaganda.
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: And you get people who are probably good natured people
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: who want.
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: To do good for the country, want to do good
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: for the family, but they're fed this propaganda to the
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: point where they, you know, left is right, up is down,
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: good is bad, bad is good. And we have to
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: really just go back to fundamentals of what freedom and
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: our freedom of speech of expression and have critical thinking
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: and return to our values. Because if we have strong values,
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter what the propaganda is if our moral
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: compass is the right direction.
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: How do we do that?
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: How does that accomplish?
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: I think we need to take a hard position against
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: the people that are actually violent. There are actual bad people, leftists, Marxists,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: that are wreaking this havoc. But there's good people in
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: the middle that are lost and in the direction to go.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: And we have to hold the people accountable. First, we
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: need to make sure our country is safer. We need
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: to fix the problems. I'll give you an example. Debbie
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Wasserman Schultz, she was a big proponent with open borders,
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: letting criminals, cartels, gangs in the country. And she led
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: the color revolution of the defund the police movement. And
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: what that's doing is bringing all this violence. You see
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: all the violence with Charlie Kirk, shootings all the time.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: And this wasn't the America 20, 30, 40 years ago
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: where people felt safe. And I think we need to
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: restore order because if people can get along, restore order,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: hold the criminals accountable, we can start having conversation and
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: really communicating with each other.
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: If we can't communicate with each other, where do we go?
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Well, there's a couple of thoughts I have. Number one,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: you were talking about, in essence, the echo chamber that
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: we live in on social media. We are fed the
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: information that we want to believe, and it becomes our truth.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: There is only the truth. There's no their truth, my truth,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: your truth. There is the truth. The problem is with
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: algorithms and artificial intelligence and social media, our news feeds
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: are feeding us what we want to believe. And that
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: goes to social media and also in news feeds. So
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: my question is, have you given any thought to maybe
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: artificial intelligence and safeguards that need to come along with
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: it to help with these echo chambers that we have?
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: No, we do need artificial intelligence. We need safe AI.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: I think that's going to leapfrog us to have a
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: great economy, to have quality of life, and it's going
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: to make America a real competitor in the global markets.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: So heading that direction is the right direction, but we
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: do need safe AI. We need to understand what the
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: AI is. It's a tool, but most people don't really
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: understand that it's just a tool. It's not the answer
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: to everything, and you have to be aware.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: Of what that algorithm is. And I think that's something
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: that needs to be said to new customers.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: And I'm concerned about superintelligence and artificial general intelligence, which
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: the experts say is coming in the next five years.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: And I do agree with you that it is the
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: new Cold War that we have. And it is a race,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: no doubt about it, that we have to get in.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: We can't throw away, the safeguards, the human agency part
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: of it that is being interrupted. But let's go back
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: to Charlie Kirk real quick and get your thoughts on
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, on the leftist that was indoctrinated to take
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: a bullet and kill him. Do you believe we are
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: seeing the full story? Is Kash Patel and the government
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: being transparent right now as he says he is?
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: You know, I think it's an active investigation. I think
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: a lot of things will come out over the next
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: few days. And these things never happen as instantly as
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: the Internet wants it to happen. And I know any
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: investigator doesn't want to jump to conclusions before they finish investigations.
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: The Trump administration has been the most transparent government probably
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: in our lifetime. And I trust that they'll get to
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: it and we'll find out everything that happened here.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: And the problem is, will the people believe it? Because...
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: of the things that are going on already with conspiracy
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: theories and this and that. And when that happens, when
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: the real truth comes out, a lot of people don't
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: believe it. And we've seen that so many times over
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: the last five to 10 years, it has become part
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: of our society and our culture. Unfortunately, let's talk about
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: things financially for you. Where do you come down financially
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: in your politics?
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Well, I think there's a lot we can do there.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: I mean, for me, I believe in the way our
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: country was established, that we have the federal government to
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: protect our rights, to protect our borders, to protect our currency.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: And I believe that we should not have a bloated
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: bureaucracy that's overtaxing us. I think we need to lower
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: the tax burden on all Americans. You know, some people
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: say tax these people more, tax these people less. Why
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: tax everybody so much? Let people decide how they want
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: to spend their money. And I think that The economy
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: is the foundation for everything. If people are financially secure,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: then they can have a better quality of life. They
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: can make better decisions and be aware of all the
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: other issues that they have to attend to. But we
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: have problems with basically the subsidies that we had in
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: the education system. We have now the consequences with our
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: college graduates can't even start their career without student loan
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: debt that they may never even be able to pay off.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: We have health insurance costs that are just outlandish and
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: They're unaffordable.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: Credit card debt. I mean, we have to fix a
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: systemic problem.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: It's not that we have to just do this or
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: do that. We have to find out why are people,
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: you know, their buying power.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Their curtains power has vanished for life and they're being
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: replaced by debt.
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: And we're going to a whole generation that does not
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: have the opportunity for the American dream because all these
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: things have been taken away from their opportunity.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: You mentioned kids getting out of college with a bunch
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: of debt. Housing is another problem. They can't afford houses
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: between interest rates, which, by the way, I'd like to
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: throw this out. Interest rates historically are pretty good right now.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I can remember 15 years ago that we finally got
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: down to 6%. Everybody was refinancing because that was an
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: incredibly low rate. Today, we're at 6.5%, 6.75% on a
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: 30-year fixed mortgage, and people are complaining about it, wanting
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: it to go back to 3%, which was once-in-a-lifetime thing
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: back five or six years ago. So sometimes I think
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: we forget about that. That's beside the point. We have
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: kids coming out of college. They have a tough time
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: finding a job. They are saddled with a lot of
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: student loan debt. And they can't even buy a house.
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: Can they even rent an apartment? Those opportunities for that
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: generation right now is not available. And I think we
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: see a lot of frustration from that age group right now.
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: And we see that maybe in some of this violence
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: that we're seeing. How do we fix that?
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Well, like I said, this is a systemic issue about
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: a lot of different variables. It's not just one thing,
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: but I can tell you right now with the technology
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: that America has, there's never been a time to create
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: more wealth than ever in human history. But we have
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: a problem when you have so many illegals coming here,
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: replacing jobs, which also increases the housing cost. We need
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: legal immigration and people better before they come here. And
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: we need to have a control on that. When the
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: illegals are getting more favoritism than the native people, the Americans,
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: it's not right. We need to put the Americans first.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: And the other thing, going back to the AI, this
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: is really important. The job market's going to change rapidly
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: over the next five years. We need to teach real skills,
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: vocational skills to address this.
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: AI is going to really help.
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: Quality of life, but we need to understand what's coming
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: so we can have the training for that and create
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: the job market for that.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we could lose 10 to 20 percent jobs in
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: some places. And these aren't just, you know, these are
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: white collar jobs that people don't understand that we're going
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: to lose. It's a part of artificial intelligence. You said it.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: I think you said it wisely that it's coming and
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a great thing in most cases.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: But there are some areas we have to consider and
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: have some concern about as well. I want to get
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: back to, again, the housing thing. How do you think
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: we solve this? Other than lower interest rates, that would help,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: but prices are extremely high. Are there any programs, are
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: there any ways that we could help a 23-, 24-,
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: 25-year-old that is just out of college, got his first job,
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: he's making $ 50, 000 or $ 60, 000 a year? That person has
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: to live with their parents. How do we fix that?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Well, I think there could be some government programs that
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: support first-time homebuyers. We've had those programs in the past.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: I think we can look at that and make it
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: better for young professionals or people getting out of college,
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: people starting families. It's critically important. And that's another problem.
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: People aren't having families like they used to. And that's
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: part of the issue. They can't be independent. They need
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: to go have a home. They can't be living at
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: their parents' house in order to get married and have kids.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: They need that house. And we have to, if we
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: deal with the student loan debt the home insurance costs,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: which are skyrocketing, especially here in Florida. We have to
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: look at all these issues because then the housing becomes
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: more affordable if people have more cash to spend they
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: want on that. And the other thing is really just
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: giving people lower taxes. They have the ability to choose
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: the home they want. One thing that Governor DeSantis is
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: really pushing, which I think is a great idea here
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: in Florida, they're actually trying to get rid of property
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: taxes for homestead homeowners.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Well, one reason why they have to do that in
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: the state of Florida is because the insurance problem. So
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: many insurance companies have moved out of the state. The
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: state had some loopholes in their laws, and a result
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: of that is that 79% of the country's lawsuits against
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: property insurance has come in the state of Florida, while
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: the state of Florida only has 9% of the property
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: insurance claims. So I think that maybe getting rid of
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the property tax in the state of Florida is would
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: compensate for the fact that everybody is paying three times,
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: four times as much as the national average on insurance.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: How do you reach across the aisle? You mentioned being divided.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: You're going to need help from Democrats from time to time.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I think in listening to you, that's the vision that
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: you have. You want to take it back to a
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: time when we could be respectful of each other's opinions
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: and have debate and come to some sort of solution
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: for people. How do you do that in this political environment? Absolutely.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: At the end of the day, we're all Americans. We
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: all want best for our families. We all want to
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: protect our kids. We need to really root out the
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: people who are really promoting bad ideas that are ideas.
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: And we do this peacefully, of course, but have bad ideas.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: And people like Debbie Washington Schultz, who represents everything the
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: opposite of what I'm saying. She wants Medicare for all,
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: which will drain the economy and make Medicare terrible for everyone.
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: She wants open borders. She wants to defund the police.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Everything that she voted for or that she promotes is
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: what's deteriorating in America.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: That's what's ripping.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: The fabric of our civilization, our society apart and creating
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: this divisiveness because everything that America stood for, for liberty,
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: for freedom, for self-determination, for promoting business and innovation, she's
• 38:02
  Speaker 5: creating a bloated bureaucracy that damages all those things and
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: takes away our freedoms.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: Great points. More of this conversation is coming up in
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: just a minute. Don't go anywhere.
• 38:12
  Speaker 12: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
• 38:14
  Speaker 12: last five or so years has taught me is that
• 38:16
  Speaker 12: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
• 38:21
  Speaker 12: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
• 38:24
  Speaker 12: to a lot of you about it who share the
• 38:25
  Speaker 12: same concerns, and you wonder where to shop, where to
• 38:29
  Speaker 12: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it.
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: It can be frustrating. But here's the good news.
• 38:34
  Speaker 12: You don't have to do the research yourself and you
• 38:36
  Speaker 12: don't have to tie yourself up in knots any longer
• 38:38
  Speaker 12: because we've done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we
• 38:41
  Speaker 12: have thousands of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: your values.
• 38:46
  Speaker 7: So now the ball's in your court.
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: Keep spending money with companies that frustrate you and then
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: use the proceeds to fund initiatives that are in direct
• 38:53
  Speaker 12: competition with your values or be a part of something better.
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: I think the choice is pretty easy.
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: Come be a part of the solution.

  Speaker 3: Welcome back to The Truth Be Told on America Out
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Loud Talk Radio. I'm Booker Scott. We are joined by
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: someone that wants to join the rat race in Washington, D.C. tonight,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: Michael Carpenter. He is running in the 25th Congressional District
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: in Florida. Michael, I haven't asked you yet how busy
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: and how crowded is the Republican field in your primary?
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Well, actually, right now, I was the sole candidate until,
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: I guess, a couple weeks ago. another candidate had jumped
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: in the race.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: And when you are trying to get money, it takes
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of money to win a race. How are
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: you there? Are you going to be able to fight
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, from resources, now I've been running businesses, so
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: I understand how to raise money, how to run an organization,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: how to manage resources. Actually, up until this point, when
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: I first filed back in April this year, I loaned
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: myself the initial campaign funding and I put it all
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: into Bitcoin. And I did that to demonstrate what our
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: future economy is looking like and what cryptocurrency means to
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: the world. Because I know in a couple more months,
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: that'll actually spearhead me much further with resources from the
• 40:36
  Speaker 5: Bitcoin value increase. So I did that kind of just
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: to show the American people that this could be done
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: with innovation and being smart about how you're raising funds.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about crypto. It's something that you have done
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: in your past in business. I think a lot of us,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: myself included, we don't really understand crypto. I can tell
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: you that years ago, probably 15 years ago, some guy says,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: you want to buy some Bitcoin? And I was like, well,
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: what is it? He said, you can play a computer
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: game with it. I don't play computer games. And he says, well,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: you can buy it. It's 50 cents. I don't need it.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I don't play computer games. I think it's a stupid idea,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: even at 50 cents. So don't ever listen to me
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: for financial advice is the story of that, Michael. But
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: a little bit about crypto. Do you think the government
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: needs to get into the crypto business? I know a
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: lot of people are fearful that there will be a
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: central bank digital currency. Where do you come in on that?
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's a really good point.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: And that's something the Trump administration already came out and said,
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: no central bank digital currency.
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: And I wholeheartedly agree with that.
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: We don't want the government overreaching and having too much
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: control of our finances. But Bitcoin, and it's really not
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: just about Bitcoin as an asset, but it's about blockchain
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: technology because it makes... much more transparency. It reduces risks
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: of fraud. It has more protections. And really what it
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: represents is financial freedom where people can actually control and
• 42:11
  Speaker 5: own their own assets. It's, uh, you know, they've referred
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: to as decentralized finance because you actually control your own money.
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: It's, it's financial freedom.
• 42:20
  Speaker 5: It's, it's really, you know, I think it's emblematic of,
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: of America of having liberties to control your own destiny.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: Michael, what do we do about what we are seeing
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: with Charlie Kirk? We see the left and the trans
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: movement that I guess they are after all of us.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: To me, I saw Charlie Kirk's death and assassination as
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: symbolism of coming after Christians, coming after people that believe
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: in God. They're coming after us. They are coming after us,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: and that's what Charlie Kirk's assassination was, And until we
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: get bold and loud and get in people's faces that
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: are doing this, we're going to have a problem. How
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: do we fix this problem? Because to me, it's an ideology.
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: We have half this country with an ideology that is
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: not based on the Judeo-Christian principles that this country was
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: founded on. How do we get it back there? Do
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: you have any ideas? What are your thoughts there?
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: And I think Charlie Kirk was doing exactly that. And Unfortunately,
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: he lost his life speaking his mind and promoting Christianity
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: and freedom of speech and American values and freedom. I
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: think that we have a serious mental illness problem in
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: this country. As soon as we saw the shootings last week,
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: Debbie Washman Schultz, her reaction was, let's take away more freedoms.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: Let's take your guns away. But the real issue is
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: not guns.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: It's the mental illness. And we need to, well, first,
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: help people that are sick and need that help. But
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: when there are criminals, we also need to hold them accountable.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: We have cashless bail. We have judges and district attorneys
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: letting murderers and rapists get out of jail the next day.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: And they're just creating and amplifying this problem. And by
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: doing that, they're saying, it's okay for you to be
• 44:15
  Speaker 5: a criminal. It's okay for you to hurt others. And
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: it starts right there by holding those who are criminals accountable,
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: holding judges and district attorneys accountable, making sure we get
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: the right people into those positions.
• 44:27
  Speaker 6: And it all starts with your own family.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Teach these values and lessons to your children.
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: Make sure they're safe. Make sure they're educated and not indoctrinated.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: Because the family unit is the foundation for our whole country.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: And we need to start there.
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: You know, you sound a lot like me in believing
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: that this country is a republic. We should have very
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: limited government from the federal side. that our government should
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: be closest to our community where we live, and that
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: would be in the county, the city, the state that
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: we live in, all of those things. When you talk
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: about cashless bail and the other things that you talked about,
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: safety and security, how do you do that if you
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: win and you beat Debbie Wasserman Schultz? What type of
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: legislation do you do from a federal standpoint for states
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: and our local government without creating the larger federal government
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: that you and I both are against.
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Well, yeah, that's a really good point because from a
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: federal position, you can't control the local government. But what
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: you can do is lead with good ideas and talk
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: to people within your community and support local elections and
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: show that you support those ideas from.
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: The federal level.
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: Because I agree, the federal government should not be involved
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: in everybody's life.
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: It should be limited.
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: And the whole purpose where the founding fathers, why they
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: created this model, where the states and the local governments,
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: they can have more authority, is actually to maximize freedom
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: by creating competition.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Because if your town or.
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: Your state was too taxing or didn't have enough freedom,
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: such as California, you could freely move to.
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: Places like Florida.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: And that's the idea. By creating competition, you have more freedom.
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: And I support that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: And we saw a lot of that over the last
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: several years. A lot of people from New York and
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: New Jersey are moving down to Florida. People are moving
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: out of California. They're moving into Idaho and Texas, Tennessee,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: other places like that. So your point is taken on that.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: You know, when you look at Florida, I don't know
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: if you know this, but Florida leads the nation every
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: year in the most people leaving a state. Did you
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: know that? I, I, Brought that up to someone recently.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: They didn't believe me, but about a half a million
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: people are leaving the state of Florida. But yet Florida
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: does lead in the number of people that have come
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: to the state every year by 150,000, 170,000 people. That's
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: how many people are moving into the state of Florida
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: every year. You would have your hands full should you
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: win and beat Debbie Wasserman Schultz. What would you like
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: to do mostly for your constituents in the area there
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: of Miami, right between Fort Lauderdale and Miami? By the way,
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: that district used to stretch all the way across to
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Collier County to Naples, Florida. Did you know that?
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: They did the redistricting just a few years ago.
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: They've done a few redistricting in that district before. What
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: would you like to see happen for your constituents? What
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: could you do for them there? right off the bat,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: should you win?
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: So, you know, we just talked about federal versus local,
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: but even though federal, what the decisions that are made
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: in the federal level in D.C.
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: Do have impacts here locally.
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: You know, one thing I learned recently from the open
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: border situation in Debbie Watson Charlton, the Biden administration, opening
• 48:02
  Speaker 5: the borders to criminals and gang members, right here in
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: Broward County, Right now, we have 47 confirmed gangs, and
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: there's violence happening every single day here. And that's a
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: direct result of policy. That wasn't an accident. That was
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: policy at the federal level. So I would do everything
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: I can to support our law enforcement to hold criminals accountable,
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: to make our community safe. People shouldn't have to worry
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: about dropping their kids off at school and coming home
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: safely at the end of the afternoon. We need to
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: address our increasing cost of living. Florida is experiencing the
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: same increase in costs as everybody else. I mean, we
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: do have sunshine. People do like to come here. We
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: do have a nice life here. But things still cost money,
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: just like the rest of the country. And we need
• 48:48
  Speaker 5: to bring some economic prosperity to the people in this district.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Great ideas. I hope you win. Obviously, I'm not a
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Debbie Wasserman Schultz fan at all. And Let me let
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: me ask you this. When you look at the Charlie
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Kirk death, I want to go back there. It's big
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: in the news right now. And we see Pam Bondi.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: She is talking about going after and targeting those for
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: hate speech. You know, the First Amendment is something that
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I think we all should take very seriously. I believe
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: hate speech. speech is protected in the First Amendment. I
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: think you can cross the line if you threaten violence,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: but if it's only hate speech, where do you come
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: down on that when you're looking at Pam Bondi and
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: the things that she's saying, which bother me, honestly? Um,
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: they do bother me. The things that she has said
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: about that. What, what do you say about the second?
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: What do you say about that first amendment?
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: No, I've said this once before and I wish I
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: could take credit for it, but, uh, I saw a
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: tweet from Kevin Sorbo years ago when he just put
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: it very succinctly. The only speech worth protecting is a
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: speech you disagree with.
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: And we have to protect that. We need open debate.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: Now what we see is going on in this country
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: is a phenomenon. Um, But this is not hate speech,
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: what people are going after. These teachers, these people in
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: the military, people that are being basically found out for promoting,
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: I don't want to say hateful, but just disgusting, godless propaganda,
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: they're also violating their code of conduct for their professions.
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: And this is not just about is speech hateful or not.
• 50:26
  Speaker 5: This is common sense morality. And a community has the
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: right to know, or if somebody's teaching my kid and
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: they're spilling out this hateful godless rhetoric. I don't want
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: that person teaching my kid. And so that community has
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: every right to know what's going on and make those decisions.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Michael, I have been a big proponent of school choice.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: And the words you're talking there kind of bring me
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: into school choice. Where do you stand on school choice?
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Is that a good idea? I know in the state
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: of Florida that they have it there. There are several
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: states now that do have it. Is that something that
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: the federal government should do in the Department of Education?
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: I think it's been something that's worked out really well
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: in Florida. Everybody here, I could say Democrat or Republican,
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: really likes to have the school choice. It's great to
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: be able to say, this school doesn't work for my child.
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: I want to bring my kid to this school because
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: I like it better, for whatever reason they choose. And
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: I think that from a federal level, having universal school choice,
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, even though it's a federal law, that gives
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: the power back to the communities, back to the states,
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: back to the parents, which really what the issue is.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: And you can choose who wants to educate your children.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: If you're worried about indoctrination, take your kid out of
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: that school.
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: Put them somewhere else. And I think that's the best
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: way to go forward.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: It creates competition for public education where they may have
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: to get better. And I've always thought that. And Sunday
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: as I was sitting and listening to the sermon that
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: happened to be mostly about Charlie Kirk, thankfully, We have
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: a pastor that is not afraid to stand up and
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: talk about things because that really isn't politics, what happened
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: with Charlie Kirk. You know, he was a symbol of Christians.
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: And so it was much more than politics. And I
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: think we have to see it that way. But my
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: thought was, have we made a mistake in taking our
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: children out of public schools, putting them in homeschooling and
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: private schools? And my daughter goes to private school, private
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Christian school. Have we made a mistake by not encouraging
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: young conservatives to become teachers? Because as we have seen
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: over the last week with everything that has happened online
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: with social media, with Charlie Kirk, there are a lot
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: of vile teachers. Our education system from kindergarten all the
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: way through higher education is full of leftists that are
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: indoctrinating our children from a very young age. And I'm
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: not so sure that we have made a mistake here.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: Maybe we need to encourage more conservatives, a lot of conservatives,
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: to get in there to protect our children in public education, too.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: And that's just a thought I throw at you, but
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you have any thoughts. I'll allow
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: you to come back, Abby.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: I do, and that's a really good example of what's
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: going right here in Broward County in the state of Florida.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: We had hundreds of thousands of students been pulled out
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: and now homeschooled over the last five years. And Broward
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: County specifically has been very, very liberal, and they've lost
• 53:31
  Speaker 5: some of the most students, and we're actually right now
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: being forced to close down schools because there's no attendance
• 53:37
  Speaker 5: there anymore.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done a story on that in Broward County before.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're talking about. These are schools
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: that have been there for 50 and 60 years, and
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: people in the community are upset because the schools are closing. Well,
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: they're closing because they suck, and they're not doing a
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: good job for the kids. I'm sorry I interrupted you.
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: Please go ahead.
• 53:57
  Speaker 6: No, no, it's fine.
• 53:58
  Speaker 5: But what I was going to add to that is
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: that every member but one of the Broward County School
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Board is Democrat, very, very liberal.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: We only have one conservative on the school board. And
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: you're right.
• 54:11
  Speaker 5: What's going on is we all Americans, we just have,
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: we can do better. We need to engage in our
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: kids' life. Parents are unfortunately, and it all goes back
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: to the economy, the working class. Two, three jobs sometimes.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: They don't have time. They put their kids in daycare
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: way too early. And people are just trying to get by.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: And they don't want to do those things. But because
• 54:34
  Speaker 5: of the economy, they.
• 54:35
  Speaker 6: Don't have a choice. So when we start with the economy,
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: we start with safety. Everything else can fall in line.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: But we have to put the pieces together, build a foundation,
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: so people are able to make the right choices to
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: take care of their families and be prosperous here.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: I am moving to Broward County tomorrow. I will be
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: able to vote for you in the primary. Why do
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: I vote for you? Tell me why I should vote
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: for Michael Carbonara.
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: Like I said, Debbie Washington Schultz, she's been a career politician.
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: Her answers to everything is to increase taxes, bigger government,
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: less freedoms for all of us. I'm running to restore
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: the freedoms in Florida and America and defeat Debbie Washington
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: Schultz and the democratic policies that have eroded the freedoms
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: in America. And I want everybody to be safe, prosperous,
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: and I'm going to use everything I've learned in building
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: businesses and creativity and innovation to bring that to Washington
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: to solve the problems rather than make them bigger.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Michael, thank you so much for coming on the program.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: That was a fast 40 minutes there, wasn't it? It was.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: It goes by pretty fast. But thank you so much.
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: I wish you so much good luck. If there's anything
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: we can do to help you, please reach out. I'm
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: here all the time, so Please do that. Thank you
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: so much for coming on the program tonight.
• 55:55
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
