  Speaker 3: Right now, the Marxist versus capitalist showdown is on, and
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: both sides, I think, are now confronting the issue that's
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: driving all of it, which is the cost of living,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the cost of everything, affordability, the whole thing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: We're going to walk.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Through some examples to begin today's podcast. Let me start
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: quickly in Florida. Florida is a totally Republican state. Republican
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: governor lame duck, but there's an election this fall and
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the Republicans expected to win it and both houses of
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the Florida Legislature Republican. Just this week, the Florida Legislature
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: voted to put on the ballot a constitutional amendment eliminating
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: residential property taxes. This is the ultimate capitalist response. There's
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: a property tax revolt going on all over the United States.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Property taxes, which generally support local government, have been exploding.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Rhonda Santas, the outgoing governor of Florida, has proposed simply
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: getting rid of them for residential properties with the following qualifications.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: It has to be your principal residence that you live in,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: so no rental properties, no business properties, no commercial properties,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: just residential and you have to have lived in the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: residence for five years. So this is aimed at providing
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the ultimate relief, not cutting property taxes, just getting rid
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: of them for people who have laid in roots and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: have been living in the same place for five years
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: or more. The lefties are going nuts over this. Remember
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Florida doesn't have an income tax, and now for people
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: who are longer term residents, they won't have a property
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: tax either. This is clearly capitalism on steroids. Lower taxes,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: lower taxes. Lower taxes in the meantime, continue to encourage
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: a thriving business economy so that that generates the revenue
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: to run the rest of government. But in the meantime,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: back in Wisconsin, there is a very real chance that
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: we are going to elect an out and out Marxist
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: as governor. First of all, the Democrats may well win
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the governorship again, they may well take over the state legislature.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: But there so far, at least front running candidate for
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: governor is an out and out socialist, and her views
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: can clearly be described as Marxist. It's why she's lady
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Francesca Hang. We'll pick up at that point in a moment.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Have you ever been offered an ad on option for
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: premium or white gloves service? U Line provides only one
• 3:28

• 3:55
  Speaker 3: The Democratic primary for governor of Wisconsin is in a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: little over two months, early August. There's a breaking story
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: out in the last twenty four hours about the apparent
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Democratic front run ano. There's seven prominent and a few
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: lesser Democrats running for governor, the just of the filing
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: deadline yesterday. By the way, before I get to that,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: I'll give you this bullet point. Kirk Bangstead, the buffoon
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: from Monoqua, the guy who fronts a one million dollar
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Democratic superpack through his outfit called Monoqua Brewing. I say
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: fronts because the money comes primarily from donors, not him.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Troublemaker up. There is constant trouble up in Monocua. Anyway,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: after he was after he was facing all sorts of
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: blowback over saying that it was too bad that the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: latest assassination attempt at President Trump failed, and after video
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: surface of his arrest for harassing the owner of a
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: newspaper across the street, anyway, Bank said decided he's going
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to run for governor. He didn't get on the ballot.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: The filing deadline was yesterday. You have to come up
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: with a minimum number of petition signatures to get on
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: the ballot, and loudmouth Bangstad is so despised he couldn't
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: even get peeped. I mean, it's not that hard. I
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: don't know what the number is. I think it's five thousand.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: But the way you get it done is you got
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: all of your goofy zelots, like the goof's up in
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Monocua that hang around in his stupid bar, the other
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: greased up aging hippies from the seventies that hang around him,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: and get them to go out and get all the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: people that their friends to sign nominating papers. Most people
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: will sign for anybody. He didn't get enough signatures. The
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: goof is off the ballot. Anyway, back to the actual
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: candidates with a chance. There is a story now about
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Francesca Han. She's getting national attention. To the lefties are
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: just starry eyed that you might have an actual, out
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and out admitted socialist, clearly Marxist. She says she doesn't
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: like capitalism. She's described herself as an anti capital She's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: the one who said she wants to get rid of
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: all prisons. Well, the lefties across the country are, wow,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: we might actually get one of these, not somebody who's
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: socialist but doesn't admit it, but.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: An out and out radical.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: She's a member of the state legislature from of course Madison. Well,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: there's a story today that might harm her turns out,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: And by the way, this is about the least surprising
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: story out there. Francesca Hang has thirty thousand dollars in
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: credit card debt and is being sued by her credit
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: card lender. Now, the one part of this I suppose
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: that would be surprising is you would think she would
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: have gotten this thing Cake and Kara before she ran
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: for governor. You know, all of her high falutin Madison
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: friends gets some of them to pay off the credit
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: card debt so that this thing doesn't come out to
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: haunt her in the middle of a campaign for governor.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Her bank is Capital One. They file a lawsuit in
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Dan County Circuit Court seeking to be repaid the twenty nine,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: three hundred and forty four dollars that she charged on
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: a discovered credit card since twenty eleven. Now, as I say,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: there's nothing surprising about this. This is exactly what Marxists are.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: They don't think they should have to pay for anything.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: It's their whole mantra. Everything should be free, the government
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: should give me everything. Well not everything is free. So
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: she's got this card and she just spends it and
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: doesn't pay off her credit card debts. That's how they think.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: They think, like the rich should pay for everything. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: what a surprise that she buys all this junk that
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: she has, uses it and doesn't pay for it. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: this is who a lot of lefties want to see
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: is our governor. You know who's supporting her all the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: other people who think like her, I shouldn't have to
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: pay for anything, I shouldn't have to work, I should
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: should be able to live off of everyone else. Everything's
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: too expensive anyway. Those two forces, and I guess the extreme,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: are what's happening in this country. At the same time,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Florida is considering getting rid of a huge portion of
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: its property tax and a state that already doesn't have
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: an income tax. Here you have in Wisconsin candidates now
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: not way down in the pools the front runner at
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: this point, who don't pay their own bills, say that
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: they want to close all the prisons and say they
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: don't believe in capitalism. This is the battle in the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: United States. You have the radicals on the one end
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: and the people that are pounding the table for capitalism
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: on the other head.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: This is also.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: Playing out in California. Now, California, as you know, I believe,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: is a lost cause. It's always possible things can get
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: so terrible that you correct your ways. I just don't
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: think it can happen in California. It happened in New
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: York in the nineties when they elected a Republican Rudy
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Giuliani is mayor, and a few other instances of it happening.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: San Francisco got rid of their radical district attorney, just
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: got a regular old liberal who does believe in punishing
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: some people. But in California, you've had a phenomenon of
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: two out and out capitalists running for two major jobs.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: Spencer Pratt's campaign for mayor, which has gotten incredible attention
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: because of the very, very creative ads that he has
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: created and people inspired by his ads who have created
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: others on his behalf. He's running against Karen Vass, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: incumbent mayor. They had the primary election yesterday. Now, in California,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: you don't run for office by political party. You are
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: labeled as a member of a party. But the Republicans
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: and the Democrats run in the same primary. So you
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: got a zillion candidates running, and the way it works
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: is the top two go on to a runoff essentially
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: advance to the finals. If somebody would have gotten fifty percent,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: it's over. But in that many candidates running, they didn't.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: The same thing is going on for governor of California,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the whole state.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Some have felt that there.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Is a prospect for a Republican to win the governorship
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: of California because while California is an overwhelmingly democratic state,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: LA is like eighty percent democratic. California as a state
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: is sixty three sixty four. If you look at those
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: color coded maps of California, the blue versus red, the
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: areas that are red Republican and the areas that are blue.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: The whole state is red except the coastline.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Which is where everybody lives.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: So you got all this blue that runs up and
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: down the state and all the red everywhere else.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Let's steal, first of all, with the mayor's race.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: In the mayor's race in California, Karen Bass, the incumbent, is.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: The league, is the leader. They take forever to count
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the boats out there because they got mail in and
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: all of that.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: It takes two weeks to finish in California, but about
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: sixty five percent is in enough to know. Karen Bass
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: has thirty four percent, Spencer Pratt is thirty so they're
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the two that will advance. The third candidate was an
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: even bigger lefty than the incumbent Karen Bass. Her name
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: is the Tile Rayman, and she received let me get
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the number here, twenty two percent. So it's thirty four
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: for Bass, thirty four point eight for Bass, thirty point
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: four for Pratt, twenty two point three for Ryman.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Now that adds up to let's.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: See sixty two point seven fifty two point seven eighty seven.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: The other zillion other candidates on the ballot got the remainder.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: This is considered to be a remarkable showing by Pratt,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: given the fact that he's running He's a registered Republican,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: and he was running as a capitalist, mocking and ridiculing
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: everything that the Marxists had done.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: There here's the reality check.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Though almost every other candidate running for mayor out there
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: is a lefty, so Kiaran Bass is likely to get
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: now the support of all the other candidates who finished
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: third and below. With all the attention that he got,
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Pratt only got thirty percent in the primary, and I
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: suspect that's all he's ever going to get. So even
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: though his campaign is fantastic and he makes incredible points,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the reality is the people who live in Los Angeles
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: are just Marxists, and they would rather vote for more Marxism,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: even though it means that their city has gone to hell.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: The governor's race, they had a similar thing. It's again,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Republicans and Democrats all on the same giant ballot, and
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you, everybody under the sun is running there.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Remember Gavin Newsom can't run term limited.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Note there were actually a couple of Republicans.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: There's a sheriff named Blanco Bianco and Steve Hilton, who
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: some of you may know. He was a host on
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Fox for a while. Those two were running along with
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: a trillion Democrats. Now you recall that many of the
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Democrats self destructed. Eric Swalwell was the front runner, the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: congressman from California. The first revelation came out that he
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: was having an affair with a Chinese spy. Amazingly, that
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: didn't derail him, but that's so Democrats in California. So
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: he's having an affair with a Chinese spy, so what.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: But then reports came out that he was sexually harassing
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: numerous women and may have sexually assaulted several, and criminal
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: charges are down on him. Swallwell dropped out of the race.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: The other California front runner was another congressman, Katie Porter,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: beloved by the lefties out there. But then videos started
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: surfacing of how what an absolute monster she is for
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: her staff. I'm telling I've only had Jason here working
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: as the producer for a month. Some of you thought
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I was too mean to Paul, I am telling you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you take the absolute worst way I ever ever treated Paul.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Multiply that by fifteen thousand times, and that was a
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: good day for Katie Porter.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Well, now there's video of this, so she torpedo.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: She ended up getting four percent of the vote's wallwell
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: dropped out altogether. But remember there's a trillion other Democrats
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: running and the leader of them is Xavier Bessera, yet
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: another California left.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: The official.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: The vote came down and so far, at least again
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: this is a little bit closest. You can't say this
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: is for certain what the final is going to be
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: because they still have all these mail in ballots account
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: But as of right now, the leader is Steve Hilton
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: the Republican at twenty seven point eight percent. Xavier Besera
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: the Democrat is at twenty five point four. Third place
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: is Tom Steier. What a pathetic thing. Tom sire is
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: a billionaire, an absolute billionaires, made a fortune, and he's
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: a radical. He's started by being the big mister climate
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: change guy. He carpet bomb California with ads and it
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: got him only third place. And remember the way it
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: works out there, you're out the top two advance, So
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: unless he surges in the votes not to be counted,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: he's at nineteen point six but that's six points behind
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: the second place candidate, Pasera Blanco Chad Bianco rather, who's
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: a sheriff from I think San Bernardino County Republican. He
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: got eleven point three percent. So if you add up
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: the votes of Hilton and Bianco, the two Republicans and
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: amount to thirty nine percent. So Hilton ran first in
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the primary, but the two prominent Republicans only combined got
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: thirty nine percent. The other sixty one percent was carved
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: up by all these zillions of Democrats. So again I
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: think you could presume that Pasiro will get most of
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: those and he will win. So while this was, you know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: a good showing for Pratt in LA and a good
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: showing for Hilton and California, the reality is when you
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: get to a general election with all the Democrats splitting
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: all of these other votes, they're very likely going to win,
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: which is my point here at the California's a lost cause.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Now you would think.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: The fact that California, for really ever since I Arnl Schwarzenegger,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: go back two decades, everything in California is controlled by
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: the Democrats. They've had a Democratic governor forever, the California
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: House overwhelming the Democratic, the California Senate overwhelming the Democrat,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: and their state Supreme Court is unanimous leftist. Absolutely everything
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: in California is run by Democrats. You can't blame Republicans
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: of California for anything, because they have zero power. They
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: run a few of the county and cities, you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: in the eastern part of the state.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: That's it. They're close to fifty to fifty in some
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: areas near San Diego.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: But beyond that, the whole state's overwhelming the Democratic and
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the Democrats have all the power. So given the fact
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: that California is a train wreck, an absolute disaster, their
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: budget is so out of balance.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Everything that they do is a boondoggle.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: They've been trying to build that bullet train between La
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: and San Francisco for decades. The latest cost of this
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: thing is somewhere near what the IPO for anthropic is
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: going to be. They can't do anything, and the money
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: that they do spend is on liberal idiacy.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles, which choose.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: To have a great quality of life steaks. San Francisco worse.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Unemployment is through the roof. Services are overwhelmed by illegal immigrants.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: Businesses are leaving like crazy because the taxation. And this
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: is what happens with socialists. Socialists believe, yes, everything should
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: be free, but they pay for it by having massive taxes.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Businesses and individuals can leave. And businesses have been leaving
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: California like crazy. So instead of taxing them this incredibly
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: high rate, they don't tax them at all because they're gone.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: So you would think they're given that. That's what California
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: is doing. All the rest of us would have to
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: do is here in Wisconsin. Well, we've tried Marxism, there's California. Look,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: it doesn't work.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: You see what happens when you do it.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, let's look at Florida, one of the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: most booming states in the country. They're all Republican. Everybody
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: in the world wants to move down there. Businesses are
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: moving down there. They're doing so well that they're trying
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: to now get rid of taxes rather than raise them.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: You'd think it'd be the easiest way to win the argument.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: And I used to get this some conservatives all the time.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: You know, when a Democrat would say, be elected president, Well,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: this is a good thing, because now they'll get in
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and they'll ruin everything, and that'll win the argument once
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: and for all. Except the problem with it is liberals
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: never change their own minds. They need a red pill moment,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: and only some of them ever come around.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: And people in.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: The middle, who generally aren't issued driven, never connect the
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: party to the policies, and they get their information disproportionately
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: from the mainstream media.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: So the reality is that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: The absolute debacle of leftist states compared with the thriving
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: that's going on in Republican states and the Sun Belt
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: southeast elsewhere. Look at the boom we had in Wisconsin
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: when Walker was the governor hasn't necessarily translated into winning
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: the argument, but it's the best we have.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Our thoughts work. Theirs are disasters.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: And what's happened with the Democratic Party is there is
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: almost no moderation in that party anymore. All of it
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: is now radicalized. Now there is one asterisk to this.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: The one thing most swing voters are not yet ready
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: to vote for is somebody who essentially acknowledges their radicalism.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: The Democratic Party in Wisconsin is freaked over Francesco Hog.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: The media, which is the mouthpiece of the Democratic Party,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: they're going to run this credit card dead beatism story huge.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: They don't want her to win the Democratic nomination. They
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: fear the one way the Republicans can win in November
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: is if they actually have an out and out Commie
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: as the Democratic candidate running. They much rather have one
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: of the Democrats who's almost as far to the left
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: but doesn't admit it, like Crowley or Rodriguez. They'd really
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: love Joel Brennan to get it. So now they're going
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: to have to do their best to torpedo Francesca Hong
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: because they think that she could lose. I suspect in
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the end, Hang will not win the nomination. Democrats generally
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: do what they're told, and if they're told that they
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: can't put one of these Marxists in there as they're
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: candidate for governor, they probably won't. The question, though, is
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: which of the others are they going to take. It's
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: hard to anoint somebody when you've got like four other
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: of the less radical Democrats all kind of showing the
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: same strength. I've been hearing rumblings that some of them
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: want to annoint Crowley African American, which helps them might
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: stop the bleed of African Americans over to the Republican side.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Milwaukee County executives seemingly harmless, but if they do that,
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: that means they buyp as the female Lieutenant governor of
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: the state, Sarah Rodriguez. You also have to get Mandela
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Barnes out of the way, and he never doesn't listen
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: to these people. And Mandela Barnes competes for the same
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: he's the same profile as Crowley, African American fan the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: city of Milwaukee. And then what do you do with
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Joel Brennan, who is the candidate. I think that some
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: establishing Democrats his downside is he's a white male, but
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: he seems to be the least moderate. He has deep
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: connections of the business community of Milwaukee and so on.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: So if you're the Democrats, who do you annoyed if
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: you're trying to stop Francesca hang In any event, though,
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: after they do pick their candidate, we'll have the showdown
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: in Wisconsin is going to decide are we going to
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: turn the legislature over to the Democrats, keep the governor
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: as a Democrat and just double down on this Marxist
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: trend that they've been pushing.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Or not.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Let me turn my attention out of local government. I'm
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: going to share with you a story that's appalling. It's
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: absolutely appalling. In fact, let me give you a stronger work.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: This is a disgrace. I also think it's flat, flat illegal.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: The story comes from New Berlin. For those of you
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: not from Wisconsin, New Berlin is one of the most
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: conservative suburbs we have southwest of the city of Milwaukee,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: in Walkershaw County, east side of Waukershaw County, just over
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: the line of the west side of Milwaukee County. If
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: you can imagine, forever, people have focused on the fact
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: that almost all of the social service institutions, homeless shelters
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: and so on are in the city of Milwaukee, halfway houses,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: et cetera. And as somebody who lives in Milwaukee, I acknowledge,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: you've got lots of substance abusers and lots of people
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: that are drug addicts and so on who live in
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: the suburbs.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Why don't we have anything out there?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Probably the best run of the homeless shelters that we
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: have in Milwaukee as the Rescue Mission. It's faith based
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: and their heart asses there. They have firm rules. I
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: think it's nine pm lights out, and you can't bring booze,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: you can't bring drugs nothing in there, can't bring in weapons,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: and you certainly can't be having sex inside the building.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: This is one of the reasons.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Why a lot of people would rather live on the
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: streets in Milwaukee, because they want to do all of
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: those things. In any event, the Rescue Mission is proposing
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: a recovery facility for an area of New Berlin. Not surprisingly,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: the people in New Berlin, especially those who live nearby,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: do not want this. Yet, given how the land is
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: already zoned, it does seem as though if they deny this,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: there would be a strong case the Rescue Mission would
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: have if they sued New Berlin and took them to court.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: So New Berlin is caught in the middle. Do we
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: do with these.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: Nearby residents want and just say we're not gonna have
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: a single thing here for anybody who needs recovery, even
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: though this is a faith based institution. Or do they
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: say we can't afford to waste a fortune in legal
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: fees defending ourselves against something we know is illegal. So
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: here's the appalling thing. The Board of Appeals in New Berlin,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: which is the one that votes on this, held a
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: meeting last night and they voted. They came out and said,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: we've decided our decision, and then you know.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: What they did.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: They said, but we're not going to tell you. They
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: said they're gonna tell you about three weeks.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: The meeting was packed with people that are opposed to
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: this thing, and there are people that are all pissed off.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: They all because, what do you mean you're not gonna
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: tell us what the decision is. Let me tell you
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: something about the state open meetings law. You can go
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: into closed session to discuss certain things.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: And I think.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: It's a close call, but you probably can go in
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: in closed session to discuss whether or not to approve
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: an application for a use, or whether or not something
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: as zoning compliant.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You probably can do that.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: What you cannot do in Wisconsin is have a vote
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: on anything in closed session. You have to return to
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: public session and then vote. So if they said they
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: made the decision in that closed section, I'm telling you,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I just think they broke the state open meetings law.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Beyond that, if they've made a decision and they haven't
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: told anyone these are some of the worst local government
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: officials that I have ever said. You have an obligation
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: to tell the public what you decided. I would think
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: any Open Records Act challenge, or if we can wake
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: up the Waukeshaw County District Attorney's office at him to
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: investigate and prosecute for violation of the Open Records Act,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: excuse me, the Open Meetings Act. Open Meetings Act would
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: be successful. Now I know why they didn't announce the decision.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: They didn't want all hell to break loose, and those
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: people were there. You've got people on this border. And
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying normally, if you're in a community like
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: New Berlin, who gets on the Board of Appeals? You
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: know local muckety MUCKs in the community, right, And most
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: of the time they like being on because they get
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: to say, no, you can't put up this shed, or
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: yes you can put up this quick trip. You get
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: to be a big shot and make the decisions right,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: and when are they controversial?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Never until now?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: So now when actually there's an important decision to make
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: through a bunch of weeny little wosses hidened under the table,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: or we'll tell you in three, and they're gonna tell
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: you by issuing.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: A statement a document. They'll put it in writing. What
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: a load of crap.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: You people in New Berlin shouldn't stand for this. And
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: the mayor think it's still aimed. He needs to order
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: this group to go back in to hold a special
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: meeting like now and come back out in public and
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: hold a vote in public so everyone could see it
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: and they could take the medicine from the constituents of
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: the community who don't like it.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: This is rotten government. Now.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: This case is in a weird way similar, but it's
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: not really another local government Franklin. Interestingly, Franklin, Franklin and
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: New Berlin are I mean, they're kind of close. Franklin
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: is in southern Milwaukee County, and geographically it's huge. It's
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: other than the city of Milwaukee itself. It might be
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: the largest suburb in Milwaukee in terms of area. It's
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: almost all of the southwestern corner of the county. Oak
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Creek is the southeastern and Franklin's the southwestern, and Franklin
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: goes This isn't exactly right, but it's about twenty seventh
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Street all the way to the county line on the
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: other end. So it's huge and it's a growing community
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: because this was the one area of Milwaukee County that
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: still had a lot of farmland and undeveloped land at
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: rural land, but it's been subdivided like crazy. Anyway, way
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: over on the other side of Franklin, on the far
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: east side of Franklin, remember it goes all the way
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: west over to New Li the Walkershaw County line. But
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: on the east edge of Franklin, they have one of
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: the most famous night clubs in all of the state
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: of Wisconsin. Famous because I'm just telling you strip joints go.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: This one really knows how to advertise. You can't go
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: to a Brewer game or go to anything without seeing
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: something for on the border So if you've always run
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: it around the border is it's one of these huge,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: glitzy gentlemen's clubs.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Never been in it.
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: I made the decision after I came to Milwaukee that
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: even if I wanted to go to a strip choid,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to do it because of all the
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: crap I would have to put up with. The last
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: one I was in in Milwaukee, it wasn't even not
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: what's the one on the north Side Rickys.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Ricky's.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I admit back in the day I've been in Ricky's,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: but not in the last forty years. I did somehow
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: get dragged into Arts Performing Center, like right after I
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: started here in nineteen eighty nine, and I went in there,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: and I'm not making this story up.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: One of the strippers from.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: The stage yells out at the time she's on the
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: stage high Mark last strip trick had I don't get
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: strip joints anyway, I get absolutely no over. I was
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of seeing some woman dancing around there naked,
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: just hoping that I give her fifteen twenty dollars and
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: stick it inside her g string. I'm sorry, I think
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: it's pathetic. Anyway, So that was nineteen eighty nine. That
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: ended my So anyway, On the Border is a huge
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: masive club. And these places aren't just naked women dancing,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: ohthough that's the attraction. There's a lot of music, this
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: party room, they have food, all of this stuff. On
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: the Border has had several employees nailed in a massive
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: investigation dealing with trafficking, sex trafficking and some allegations about drugs.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: The manager of the club, Brian Hopkins is facing criminal
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: charges in connection with sex trafficking and sex trafficking is
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: you know, pimping out some of the women that work
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: at the place. When the criminal charges came down, the
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: owners of On the Border said, we had nothing to
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: do with this. This is just some employees On the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Border's liquor licenses up and Franklin has to decide if
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: they're going to yank the liquor license because the place
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: essentially is a house of prostitution and some of the people.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: In addition, by the way, to the manager at many
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: of these clubs end I'm not talking it inside information.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Everybody knows this. Many of the dancers are pimped out. Now,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: the pimps don't call themselves pimps at places like this,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: they're managers, but the manager will represent a dancer that
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: works in there. The dancers generally are not employees. They're
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: independent contractors and they work for the tips.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: That they earn.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: And there's a wink wink, non nod sum not all,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: but some of the dancers are willing to have sex
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: once they leave the club. It's rare anymore for at
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: a high end place to actually have sex in the club,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: though do the lap dances and come real close, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: maybe even the private rooms. But you could get into
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: huge trouble if you actually have sex on premise. It
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: happens at smaller places, but it's very unlikely that on
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: the Border.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Would allow it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: But certainly you can arrange the deal for later. And
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: there are some of the guys that function as these managers.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: They were charged in this trafficking operation as well. So
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: you're Franklin. On the Border is a huge place. I'm
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: very amused by the fact that it's really close to
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: the BUCkies.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: It's being built.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Just this amuses me to no, Ed, I don't know
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: if does that amuse you, Jason, you didn't know that
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: there was a BUCkies.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: See he's new here. I always want you know.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I one of the reasons I never left Milwaukee as
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: a talk show host is I just let's imagine I
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: took a job. I won't say Miami because I know
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: that a little bit, but let's imagine I was made
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: a big offer to go to, say, twenty five thirty
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: years ago, Philadelphia. What do I know about Philadelphia? Just
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: what I read in the newspaper. I don't know anything.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know the background. I know to the neighborhoods
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: that go to the restaurants. I might have heard of
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: the mayor, but nothing else.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: See, I grew up.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: In Wisconsin, and it just you need the Acknoledgies. Well, anyway,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: the BUCkies is a big thing. We're going to get
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: the first BUCkies in Wisconsin. It's it's oh, it's I
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: think it's on Old Creek. Old Creek and Franklin almost
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: the dividing line is where the BUCkies and the It's
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: like close to twenty seventh Street. It's also really close
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: to where the freeway where I ninety four comes in
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: and nine ninety four curves.
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: There's a big cook.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: On ninety four in the southern part of the county,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: just north of the Rascine County line, and that's.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Where all of this is.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: So anyway, the BUCkies, they're not right right next door,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: but they're close enough that I just find that amusing.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: So anyway, the Franklin City Council had a vote last
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: night and whether or not to renew the liquor license
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: for on the border.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: The vote was a tie. I didn't bother.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: I got a Fox sixth story here, and I've just
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: said one of my peeves on the media, and it's
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: a real one. They never, I won't say never, almost
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: never do they end their story and the story's long,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: say which all to have been voted yes and which
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: voted no. For the people in Franklin, I think they'd
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: like to know if Joe Blow from District one or
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Jane Blow from District two voted yes or no. For
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: those of you who live in Franklin, I'd certainly encourage
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: you to call your city council office to find out.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: But they couldn't decide, which.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Means it's neither denied or renewed. And apparently they're gonna
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: have to discuss it again at the next meeting. Now,
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: what do I think should happen. Well, it's a tough one,
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: I admit. When you're the owners of a large business
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: like this, sometimes you have employees do things that you
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: don't know about. Now, this guy's though the manager. The
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: manager is among those criminally charged, But the manager's not
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: the owner these these by the way, these clubs, the
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: level of hidden ownership in a lot of these places,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily saying on the border, but you've seen
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: the controversy over a number of these other clubs in
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: southeastern Wisconsin, you know anything buzz them related.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: You've got ninety.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Seven owners and then the owner's hidden, and there's LLCs
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: and who even knows who owns them all. But my
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: guess is a fair number of the owners are not
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: anywhere near on the scene on twenty seventh Street and
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: on the border. See to take away the license for that, eh,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I can't say. I'm not privy to
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: all the information down there, but I would have leaned
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: toward taking it away. This doesn't mean that somebody else
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: can't come in and apply for a liquor license to
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: run the same thing, hopefully other people. But on the
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: borders men, it's been described to me. I've not been
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: in there. It's very well run. But also everybody knows
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: it's dirty. I mean, you think that those two things
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: are in contrast, but apparently the dirty part is not
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: readily apparent. If you just go in and you want
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: to watch the dancer's and have a few beers and
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the Giants games on the giant screen, and you don't
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: want to pay a fortune and you don't want.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: To have prostitution, they'll be fine. But if you are
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: looking for it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: I've just always heard you can easily get it and
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: it doesn't hurt that there's another truck stop up the road.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine that that they're gonna do the hookups
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: of the parking lot of BUCkies. I just don't think BUCkies.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: BUCkies is like the most clean cup place that there
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: is on the border. All right, next story. We began
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: this segment by discussing the back and forth in the
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: United States between capitalism and Marxism. There's something related going
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: on in the world, in particular in Europe. It's happening
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: in the United States as well, the invasion of immigrants
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: and Europe. The big thing is obviously not Mexicans from
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: our southern border. It's migrants from the Muslim world Africa
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and the Middle East, and many in Europe have just
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: bent over backwards to accommodate Muslims who have come in
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: and want to get rid of the British culture and
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: have instead their Muslim culture, and a lot of Muslims,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: not all, but a lot of muslim leave their cultures.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Of course, we should be able to rape women. They're
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: just second class cover of the earth. We make a
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: put on the heijab. It's what many of them think.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: You mayn't want to hear it, but it is what
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: they just look at them, look at their beliefs. And
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: there has been problem after problem after problem after problem
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: after problem. But the British just they they you know,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: they think of themselves as being so open minded and
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: so liberal. This backlash is going on in many countries
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: in Europe, but in the UK they have just prided
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: themselves on this tolerance and they refuse to allow themselves
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: to be bothered by misbehavior by Muslims. This has all
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: come to a head with something that happened in the
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: British city of Southampton. An eighteen year old boy, white
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: British by you know written along non Muslim, was stabbed
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: nine times in In this case, the individual who did
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: the stabbing was an Indian. Now remember India, most of
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: the people are either Hindu or Muslim, but the person
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: was Indian and ethnicity. He stabbed the boy nine times
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: and he was on the ground. The police from Southampton
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: arrive and rather than render aid and an attempt to
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: apprehend the stabber, they jump on top of the boy
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: who has been stabbed.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Some in the crowd were claiming that the boy yelled
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: racial slurs. That is a crime in the UK.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: It's a serious crime to make any statement about any
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: religious minority at all. So the police's first response was
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: to go after the kid for saying this. He's on
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: the ground stab nine times.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Now. I'm sure many of you know about this. He died.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Boy died.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: This is flatantly George Floyd. It's worse than George Floyd.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: This was someone that wasn't resisting or anything the police.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: He was somebody who was already stabbed and laying there.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: The knee jerk response from the police there is they
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: are so adamant in punishing these hate crime laws that
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: once they heard that he uttered this and by the way,
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: there's no corroborating proof that he did.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: He dead.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: The police didn't help him. They're laying on top of
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: him when he's stabbed. Well anyway, there are now riots
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: in Southampton from the whites. This is finally a bridge
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: too far. The lifelong residents of Southampton are enraged that
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: the police did not render assistance, but rather jumping on
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: them may have contributed to his death. This is what happens.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: This is the leftist tolerance on steroids that we're going
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: to go bend over so far.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: To not be racist, that we will accept.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: In immigrants stabbing someone and then blame the victim for
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: somehow provoking it, not only do nothing to help him,
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: but contribute to his death. The Conservative the leader of
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: the Conservative minority in Britain. They have multiple political parties,
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: but Nigel Farage is he's the guy that led Brexit
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: and he's emerging as a leader of the Conservative movement.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: He's making an enormous think on this. But otherwise most
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: of the British politicians, from all of the different political parties.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: They're rather silent on the whole thing.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: This is the direction that the left in the United
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: States wants to bring us to, and it's the reason
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: I believe that there has been such overwhelming opposition to
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Trump and Ice. Trump came in and said we're ending this.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: If you're here illegally, you're out, and if you commit
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: crimes when you're here illegally, we're going.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: To go and apprehend you.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: And I started to do that, and they started running
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: in and grabbing people right and left, and the left
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: in this country has gone ballistic over it. And I
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: think their opposition to Ice, which was their way of
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: opposing Trump's attempt to bring immigration laws back.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: To sanity in the United States.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Is what has driven the hatred forward Trump more than
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: any other single issue. You are listening to the Mark
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Belling podcast. This is the Mark Belling podcast. It's kind
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: of pointless to say this, but this podcast that I'm
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: doing right now is a must listen. It's pointless to
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: say that because anyone who's hearing me is all right lasting.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: I need to like say this to the people who
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: haven't listened. But since they're not listening to the podcast, how.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Do I tell them?
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: We've had a lot of important topics in here I
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: want to address. I mean, there's no way to do
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: this just one segment and segment two of the podcast
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: you need.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I could do.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Weeks of this, but I want to focus for a
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: few moments here on where we are with AI artificial intelligence.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that we The left is
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: now just knee jerk opposed to all of it. Some
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: are it's just they're against all of it. They're against
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: the data centers, they're against it. I can say it's
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: going to ruin jobs, terrible, terrible, terrible, but saying that
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: you're against it is like saying that you're against the
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: sun rising.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: It's not going to stop.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: AI is here, the technology exists, and it's going to happen.
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: So let's rather than focus here on whether or not
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: it's all good or it's all bad. And I think
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: it will be like the Internet. It will be half
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: good and half bad. But rather than focus on that,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I want to focus on the reality of what is
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: happening and what's likely going to.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: Be the case as a result of it.
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: Anthropic I'm guessing less than half the people in the
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: United States even have heard of that company. Their IPO
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: is going to be any day now, and when they
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: go public, they are instantly going to become one of
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: the largest companies in the world. You've all heard of
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: open Ai, which created chat GPT. They're in second place.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: Athropics AI product is called Claude, and everyone says it
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: is just.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: The ticket. It's phenomenal.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Right now, Anthropic is leading the race an AI. I
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: remember this is I always remember the things I write about.
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: I remember saying, you know, right around the time that
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: the dot com thing was going on, we had search
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: engines and they all stuck. I remember saying at the time,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: they all think, but Yahoo is the best. Remember when
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Yahoo is a search engine. I bet you don't, but
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: they are the best. And I said, whoever creates a
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: search engine that works will rule the world. Google came
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: up with one that worked, and they've ruled the world.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Who doesn't use Google for search, Well, the answer is
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: those that are using AI, that are using chat GPT,
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: I guess. But prior to AI, it was always Google,
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: and Google has their own AI in there that searched it.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: I'll just tell you the AI.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Mechanism in Google is better than Google's regular search. It
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: finds things instantly, and it's almost always to the point.
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: A couple of medical issues going on this week. I
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: just punched it into Google and asked for the AI response,
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: and I'm it's great information.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: It's just unbelievable.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Anthropic and chat GPT are both racing to go public,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: and the IPOs are expected to be in the stratosphere.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: In the meantime, numerous other companies that are simply companies
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: that are using AI to do something, their stock valuation
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: is exploding. Likewise, explosion in the companies that create the
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: infrastructure of AI. Obvious example and this has been going
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: on for several years. Is in video the makers are
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: the best chips and you need powerful semiconductors, powerful computer
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: chips to be able to power AI, and in vidias
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: have been the best. In Vidia is now one of
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: the highest valuation companies in the world just for making
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: the chips that power AI. I think some things are
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: overwhelmingly apparent. I think AI is clearly killing software where
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: and one of the things that is certain to happen
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: over the next several years and starting right now is
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: some of the most successful, biggest giant companies in the world,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: but that our only really software driven and not AI
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: will die. People always say, well, this company won't die.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: You go back and you look at the biggest they
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: have the nifty to fifty in the sixties, Like the
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: companies that were exploding in growth, almost all of them
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: are in.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: The toilet now if they exist.
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: There used to be an old saying is GM goes,
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: so goes the nation, ho the nation goes. That have
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: a damn thing to do anymore with how GM goes,
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: things changed. Remember when the big tech company was IBM.
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: They're coming back now that they've embraced AI. But IBM
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: is by far nowhere near the top of the tech world.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Microsoft and Alphabet, the parent of Google, are spending a
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: fortune on AI. In fact, Alphabet just announced that they're
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: going to sell new shares of stock. Stock went down
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: as a result. I think, is it eight hundred billion
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: that they're going to raise the new stock sales to
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: fund more of their AI development. For all the cash
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: that they have on hand, they say that they need
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: hundreds of billions more, so they're going to have a
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: new stock sale to move forward on their AI. I
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: think you are going to see in the stock market,
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: and effect not controversial prediction, because it's already happening, a
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: massive rotation into new and growing companies, many of which
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: you have never heard of, that will become at warp
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: speed huge. And I think that you will see the
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: decimation and crashing of the stocks of many companies that
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: are being made irrelevant by AI. If AI can do something,
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: you don't need their own software application to do it.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to come up with any specific names,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: but if you look at a company that's huge, you know,
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: and I'll just mention some of them among the many
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: that are challenged at these workplace companies like Salesforce and
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Workday and all of these other things that help company operating.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: The question is going to be whether or not anyone's
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: going to need them when AI can simply do what
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: these software programs had been doing. Whether this is good
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: or bad to me is irrelevant to the fact that
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: it is. It's going to happen. Anybody who tries to
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: pick their own socks better be focused on this the opportunity.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, there are some socks that are just right now.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: They're so volatile, but they are exploding like crazy.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you about one of them. It's a company
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: called Swarmer.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: It has no sales, it doesn't do anything yet, but
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: it's got some of the biggest names in the history
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: of tech behind me. One of the founders of Google's
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: behind it, somebody from it's not Blackbrock, one of the
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: other big military consulting firms that's a big one, Black Something. Anyway,
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: You've got a number of those people behind it. It's
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: company is called Swarmer, and what it does is it
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: uses AI to control an entire military's drone network that
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: the AI will launch all the drones, the AI will
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: guide the drones, the AI will do everything. You won't
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: even need to have some kernels sitting there overseeing anything.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: The whole thing can be AI focused and AI driven.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: AI runs the whole thing. I'm not endorsing the stock.
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: It's way too volatile for me to endorse it a
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: and they don't have any sales yet. You just have
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: this concept. It might turn out to be worthless. But
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: I bought the stock week ago in a doubled in
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: a week doubled, it's more than doubled. And again I
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: didn't check it today. It maybe down forty two percent
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: a day. It's moving twenty five percent back and forth
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: in either direction. Ever since it's IPO, there are zillions
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: like this because the reality is the company that comes
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: up with the AI application or creates the AI hardware
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: and dominates their field will be instantly as big as Walmart,
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: because the entire existence of the world is going to
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: run through AI, whether we like it or not. The
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: Internet revolution displays zillions of companies, including you know, broadcast
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: companies like the one that I work at, print newspapers, books,
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: meg Just look at the number of things retail.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: Well, this is the new revolution.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean anybody in AI is going to
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: be successful. Remember the dot com bubble late nineties. Any
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: company that the name dot com, its stock was through
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: the roof. Of course, what happened is some of the
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: companies that were early leaders were surpassed by others. And secondly,
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: some of the early dot com companies what it was
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: that they were doing, somebody else came up with doing
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: something in a different and better way, and they became worthless.
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: People cite Sun Microsystems. I held the stock way back
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: in the day it was creating the hardware for the
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: online world. Within a year and a half the company
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: is worthless. Massive company stock went to virtually zero. Numerous
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: others did the same thing. Some survived companies like Amazon
• 52:43
  Speaker 3: that many people thought, Okay, they sell stuff online.
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: Where are you going with that? Amazon owns the world.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Does Amazon have to worry about AI? Don't know?
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: AI in and of itself can't retail stuff. Amazons selling everything.
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: Amazon also has a massive cloud business. All the storage
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: is up there. AI needs storage.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: You'd think Amazon would be immune some of the others.
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: Oracle has embraced AI. They're doing extremely well. But then
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: you take these companies like Anthropic, which isn't even public
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: yet and now the next one.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: In order for.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: AI to do AIS saying AI has to transmit from
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: one place to another, and the obvious place is going
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: to transmit is space Musk's IPO for SpaceX is set
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: for June twelfth. They keep raising the estimate of how
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: much money they're gonna raise. If you had the ability
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: to buy it pre IPO, you're going to make a killing.
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: While it was not yet traded public, private investors were
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: able to take a stake in SpaceX years ago. SpaceX
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: isn't just sending these rockets up in the air to
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: put a satellite around. It can theoretically in the future,
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: do all almost anything. One of SpaceX's sister companies is Starlink.
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: We've been debating forever, how do we get broadband or
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: rural areas where you got a farm here on the
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: next closest farm is a mile and a half away.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: You can't put all these satellites out there. Starlink simply
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: has it in space. When those hurricanes came in, all
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: the electricity was down, nobody had any kind of communications service.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: Starlink worked. There are other companies that are doing space
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: stuff that are also.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Going in the IPOs.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: My point in all of this is, I think you
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: are going to see over the next few years the
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: destruction of numerous companies that are highly successful and the
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: creation of new and emerging companies from nowhere. In the
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: same way that you know, before Google became Google, who
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: the hell hurt at Google and so many of the others,
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: you know, the growth of Amazon. You're going to see
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: the same thing, but only on steroids with AI. And
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: you know, there are a lot of people who say
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: that there's an AI bubble. There is in a lot
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: of the stocks that are overvalued. We just don't know
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: which ones of them are. But after that crash occurs,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: will come the recovery and.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: The explosion in these valuations.
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: And if you could figure out who the next Google is,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: it'd be like, you know, if you bought Nvidia ten
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: years ago. It wasn't quite ten years ago, but I
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: made a ton of money on Nvidia. I wasn't anywhere
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: near toward the beginning. I just figured out that when
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: it was exploding, this was right, Okay, we got this
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: AI thing. I guess this is going to kind of work,
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: and they sell all the chips. Now there's numerous companies
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: at the chips. The head of Nvidia just which company
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: was it. It wasn't Taiwan's semiconductor Marvel. He said, the
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Marvel's going to be trillion dollar company. Well, all he
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: had to do is say that Marble stock went through
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: the roof.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: In the same time. This story, it's not.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: Gotten a lot of attention. I wonder though, and again
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying I know this. I'm wondering if bitcoin
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: is dead. Bitcoin's price has been going down for nine months,
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: and every now and then you just see a story
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: in the news and you think this is telling.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: There's a company called micro Strategy. They changed their name
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: to Strategy. They were a.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Computer company, but the CEO and chairman of the company,
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: his name is Sailor, changed the whole country. Essentially, all
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: they did was they bought bitcoin. So buying micro Strategy
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: changed the name of Strategy was a way of investing
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: in bitcoin. Sailor has always said, never sell bitcoin. We
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: will never sell bitcoin because, in other words, bitcoin was
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: just because it's limited, it's finite, will always go up.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: That's been a mantra. Well, as bit coin has gone down,
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: so has the stock price of Strategy. This week, sailor
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: announced we're selling some of our bitcoin. The guy that
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: said never ever sell bitcoin, their company is now selling.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Bitcoin.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: It's hard to determine in this AI world what the
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: future for cryptocurrencies is. My take on it has always
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: been that I don't know how you can put a
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: valuation on bitcoin or any of the others, because anybody
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: can create a new cryptocurrency, and who's to say that
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: Bitcoin's going to work any better than this coin. There's
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: like other coins that even have the name bitcoin in it,
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: all different means of transaction, and I still don't see
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: much commerce being done in bitcoin. I see people use
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: it to speculate and invest. And there's all these bitcoin
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: millionaires out there. They bought it when it's teeny and
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: they talk about all of the money that they have.
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: But now that it's down nearly two thirds, do you
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: sell or not?
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: See?
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: The thing with bitcoin is it's crash many times in
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: the past, and it's always come back, but that doesn't
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: mean it will always come back. Sometimes it crashes and
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: it doesn't recover all right. Now I have this We
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: did a segment on the podcast about a week ago
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: in which I talked about this clash between gen Z.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: And the baby Boomers.
• 58:22
  Speaker 3: Gen Z, which is basically twenty five and under, went
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: nuts when Kevin O'Leary, the guy nicknamed mister Wonderful from
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: Shark Tank, he's a talking a head and a lot
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: of the networks, he came out and he made fun
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: of the gen Zers who keep whining about affordability when
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: they're drinking eleven dollars lattes at Starbucks and they go
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: out for dinner on a Tuesday night spending thirty five
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: dollars and they're taking all of these trips, wunning Why
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: the world that you're complaining about affordability when you're spending
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: things that most people think are insanely overpriced and doing
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: the kinds of things you usually do when you're like
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: fifty five and not twenty three. And the gen Z
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: ears went nuts suffer this, saying the baby boomers had
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: it spoiled. We have all of these other challenges. We're
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: the ones facing a future of no jobs because of AI.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: On on and on. This has provoked a lot of
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: reactions from listeners. I want to share one.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: This is from It's a female and she sent this
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: to me and I don't name people, so I won't
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: name her here.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Mark your decision.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: Your discussion last week regarding boomers versus gen Z really
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: struck a chord with me. For full disclosure, I am
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: an older millennial in my mid forties who works at
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: a major Milwaukee corporate headquarters. I work directly with ten
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: gen Z twenty somethings, and I am the oldest in
• 59:38
  Speaker 3: my office. Rarely a day goes by where I don't
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: hear one of them mentioning how expensive things are, how
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: unfair the economy is, or just a plain hatred for capitalism.
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: These quote kids look for sympathy as if they have
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: had it worse than any other past generation. I'll energy
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: when I was in my twenties, everything seemed expensive because I.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: Had any money.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: It to me is the expectation that unless you inherited
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: money from your parents or you went into some sort
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: of high falutin field instantly because you had a unique skill,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: you're going to be broken to your thirty have enough
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: money to start a family in your thirties, have a
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: little bit of a stash by your forties, and if
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: you really manage things, then be able to start spending
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: pretty good in your mid forties and hopefully get toward
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: the age of retirement and then have a lot of
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: money laying around to live the lifestyle that you want.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: But the point is is that it's a progression. You're
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: supposed to be broke and you're supposed to eat macaroni
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: and cheese out of a box when you're twenty three.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: But again, this is what all baby boomers say. But
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: the thing with a lot of the gen Zers is
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 3: they expect at the age of twenty two to be
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: living the exact same lifestyle of some old fart of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: me at my age of fifty one. Get serious, you more,
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: all right, I will continuing to them, The boomers and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: even millennials had it so easy. Gen Z has a
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: strange way of thinking that anything that happened before they
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: were born or old enough to remember didn't happen at all.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: A lot of generations have that. I don't think this
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: is me now, this is not unique to the gen Zers.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 3: As a baby boomer, I was born barely a decade
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: after World War Two ended.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: World War Two.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: Was a non event in my life. I mean I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: heard them talking about it a little. I still think
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: it's incredible that when I was in kindergarten. It was
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: only like sixteen years after. We're in World War Two.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: People have a hard time relating to anything that happened
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: before them. Now.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: Her point is is that the gen Zers are even
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 3: worse that they simply lack any understanding of anything. That's
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: why they think they have it so bad. Continuing, they
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: also believe any narrative they see on TikTok.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: That's a problem.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: The problem with the millennials is they had blind faith
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: in their teachers, their professors, and their influencers. They were
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: the ones that fell for the crap of COVID, They're
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: the ones that fell for Russia collusion. They're the ones
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: that believe the climate change is going to burn them
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: all up. They bought everything hook, climb and sinker because
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: they never had the I'm generalizing because some obviously the exception,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: but the vast majority of millennials never questioned any of
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: this stuff. And they simply assumed that because some civil
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: service overpaid employee was a school teacher, that they knew
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: what they were talking about, as opposed to just being
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: a union hack regurgitating the same stuff the other union
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: hacks were regurgitating.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: That was a problem with the millennials.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Now this person saying the gen zs, they're the same thing,
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: except they clearly reject authority. They're not listening to teachers
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: and professors if they saw, for example, how full of
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: crap they all were on COVID and stuff like that.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: What they listen to is TikTok. There's something to this
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: thing with TikTok, the TikTok. This is the whole sovereign
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: citizen movement is driven by TikTok. These people who actually
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: think that you don't need a license to drive and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: all this stuff that the sovereign citizens. You know, Daryl Brooks,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think he ever was a sovereign citizen. I
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: think that Darrol Brooks had no chance of anything, so
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: he rolled the dice and tried sovereign citizen anyway.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: But they hear this stuff on TikTok.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: And I always explain that people are likely to believe
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: something is true if they want it to be true.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: So some idiot on TikTok comes up and says something,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: and you want it to be true if you don't
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: have the ability to analyze and realize half the people
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: in the world are full of crap and lyning to you.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: If you don't have the ability to dissect and determine
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: what makes sense and you start falling for things.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: You're going to be skewed.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: Anyway, back to the piece from the writer, believe any
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: narrative they see on dicktok as. I'm sure you're aware.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: TikTok is full of videos blaming boomers for anything and everything,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: from politics, to climate change to the economy. What bothers
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: me more than their beliefs is their behavior. They complain
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: about their finances but don't do anything to improve their situation. Now,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: this was the point that Kevin O'Leary was making when
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: he talked about the lattes and all of this stuff.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: All right, now, let's imagine you're twenty four and you
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 3: don't have enough money. I know what I would tell
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 3: you to do. It's what I did when I was
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: that age. I was already in manage it, but I
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: didn't make crap. So I came up with every way
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: possible to make extra money. I created a news bureau
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: when I was at the state Capitol in Springfield, and
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 3: I did a lot of stringing. I did a lot
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: of independent freelance work for NBC radio. I did all
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: of this stuff to make it. That's what you did.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: I decided it was upon me to figure out how
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: to make more.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: Now back to this.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: What bothers me more is their beliefs, is their behavior.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Plain about their finances, but don't do anything to improve
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 3: the situation. They live in apartments in downtown Milwaukee equivalent
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: to a high end condominium.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Let me comment on that. They're right. This writer's write
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: about this.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: I live in downtown Milwaukee in a high end condominium,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: and I look at a lot of these apartments that
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: are lavish, glitzy building in which they're renting the rents
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: to me. I mean, I got a good, decent enough
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: chunk of money. I am astonished by what people are
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: paying in rent.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: Rent not something you own.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: Rent three four five fifty five hundred and six thousand dollars.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Why aren't you living in some dump on Firewell Avenue
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: that doesn't have off street parking. That's what you're supposed
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: to do when you're starting. You don't have any money.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: I kept and we finally reached the point in which
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: I think the downtown housing boom is maxed out. Some
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: of the new apartment buildings are half empty. We finally
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: overbuild in that area. But the people, and I've wondered
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: who these people out that are filling them up, and
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: I need a lot of them are empty nesters in
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 3: affluent people in the thirties and their forties.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of that, But there's a lot.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: Of people in the twenties who maybe they're getting some
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: money from mom or dad, or they're putting their entire
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 3: paycheck into their luxury apartment. Anyway, back to her point,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: they eat out at restaurants almost every night. They do
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: here's my other thing, or they door dash, the insanity
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: of door dashing. You're still eating at home, but it's
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: costing you twenty six dollars rather than the eight and
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: eight dollars and fifty cents it would have cost if
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: you bought it from the store. Now, I admit, at
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: this point in my life, I'm not gonna sit around
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: for ninety minutes cooking my dinner. But I can make
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of halfway decent stuff with the air fire
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: or the microwave, or a salad out of a bag
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: that doesn't cost.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: Anywhere near that much.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: But again, they're broke without address seeing the fact that
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: they're living luxurious lifestyles and then whining they don't have
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: any money. This is me now joining in in a ranch.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: He continues.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: They have not one, but three or four vacations planned
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: at a time.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: That is another thing.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't go to Las Vegas until I was in
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: my mid thirties. I drove through it earlier than that,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: when Dwayne Gay and I had took a side gig
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: to return a car to San Diego. We managed to
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: plot the trip to go through. We managed to go
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 3: through Las Vegas, Hollywood, Los Angeles and all that.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: We hit every hotspot that there was, but we.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: Didn't have any money, so we basically saw it and
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: like tried to find it if they had a penny slot. Anyway,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: four trips, four vacations planned. Again, you see part of
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: the problem, the lack of denying yourself to be able
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: to do these things in the future. They subscribe to
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: every imaginable streaming service. Yeah, I got a lot of them.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: My bill is insane and there's going to be a shakeout.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: But you have to decide which one you don't want.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: Do I not want Hulu? Well, then I miss a
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 3: lot of sports. Do I not want Peacock. Well, that's
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 3: all the sports that NBC doesn't put on the regular TV.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: You kind of have to have Netflix because they have
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: most of the good shows. I get Prime Video for
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: free because I'm a member of Amazon Prime. What are
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: the other ones to this day, I don't know if
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 3: I have Paramount Plus.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think I do. But if I do, I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: don't think I've ever watched it.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: But again, they all cost money, and her point is
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: they're subscribing to all of them. Maybe you don't get
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: to watch every single thing that's on any service. They
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: have not one, but three or four vacations planned. Remember
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: when bachelor and bachelorette parties met one night drinking at
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: a local bar. See now she's blaming this on the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: gen zs. The millennials started this crap. Those days are
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: long gone. Now they mean flying to a destination for
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: a three day luxury trip. They indeed do do that.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: Did you know about that, Jason? These bachelor parties, they
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: get on planes and go to Vegas or something or another. Again,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: I'm just telling you all this he is is a
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 3: drug addiction, the refusal to deny yourself anything. Here's how
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: bachelor parties went somehow. I have two strip joint topics
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: and the strip joint references in the same podcast. When
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: I was in my twenties and thirties, the bachelor party
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: meant taken the guy to a strip joint, and by
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: the way, it meant no girlfriends or anybody else involved.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: That's what it was.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: Everybody got drunk, thing you took him home, and it
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: was usually pretty close to the wedding day. There were
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: bachelor parties that were like either the night before the
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 3: wedding rehearsal dinner or even of That's what it was.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: But now they have to well, we want to do
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: this again. Look at the amount of money that you're spending.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: No wonder your book. Continuing with their thing, not a
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: single one of them has a second job or side
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: hustle as they prefer.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: To call it, Yeah, the other thing.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: Forever and ever and ever, people have taken second jobs.
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: Nobody has cabs anymore. Remember all in the family Archie
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: Bunker drove a cab on Sunday. Remember that guys would
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: work at far tip buy ten bar. Now there's zillions
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: of part time jobs out there. I know Uber could
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: use more people because the Uber weights are getting to
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: be insane A lot of times. I'm telling you, when
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: I land on the airport in Florida and I need
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: to get an uber, the trick is you request the
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: uber when you're still.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: On the plane, even though it's a ten minute.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 3: Walked over where the uber stand is, because the closest
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: uber is always twenty minutes away, because eighteen thousand people
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: are looking for them, and if it's the wrong time
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: of the day, it can cost a fortune to go,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: and it's just they don't have a drivers. Well, I
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: don't want to do that. I don't want to Most
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 3: people don't like to do part time jobs. When I
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: was young, I am pirate on the side work for
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: the city and its morning things. I stopped that when
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: I actually had to start working nights and radio. How
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: hard has that stuff to do? None of them have
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: side gigs. The thought doesn't even seem to occur to them.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: Ask them to make any sacrifices, and it's non negotiable.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: They live for the now and not for the future. See,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: that's the problem. And I think a lot of this,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: this is my own opinion, A lot of this has
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: to do with lack of belief in God. If you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: don't believe there's a God and therefore don't believe this.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: I have another Hell, of course, you're gonna do everything
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: you can while you're still here. There's no point of
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: thinking about a future at all, much less saving for
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: your retirement or doing all this good stuff from your fifties.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: Now now, now now hedonism. I think, by the way,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: doing everything now and not saving anything for the future.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 3: My own opinion on this is that it kills your spirit.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: You got nothing to look forward to. Most of what
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: drives us his anticipation of some great thing we're going
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: to be able to do.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: Well. If you're always doing great things now, and then
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: after you do it, the thrill of it wears off.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: Where does the buzz come from in that.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: They want and expect the kind of comfort in life
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: that has taken every past generation decades of work to earn.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 3: I look at my former.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: Goofball producer, Paul got the big house out there in
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: Cedarburg with the outdoor kitchen and all of this crap,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: and part because he married well and smart wife who's successful.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: I remember when Paul started with.
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 3: Me, he didn't have a you don't want to you
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 3: don't want it guy was working in radio and West
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: Ben doing the slap shop. He lived the American dream,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 3: but he wasn't living the damn American dream. When he
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 3: was twenty seven, he was worming his way into my show.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 3: He hitched his wagon to me, which worked out pretty well.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: And nothing.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed to they have anything when these whiners
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: are expecting it.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: And again, you could say this all you wanted.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: Their retaliation is just I think, devoid of any knowledge
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 3: that this is the way that it has always been,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 3: unless you're.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: Somebody that's born in the money.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 3: And true, certainly a lot of the millennials had it
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 3: easy when they were young because their parents. I think
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: some of the gen Zers aren't having the parents. The
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 3: gen Zers are basic the children of Gen X. The
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: millennials are children of the Baby boom, and I think
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: the gen xers aren't spoiling the kids the way the
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: Baby boomers dead, Meaning the millennials who were able to
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 3: live at home until they were thirty five and mom
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: and dad paid for every damn thing they had. The
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: gen Zers aren't getting their lives subsidized and carried for.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 3: So they look back at the Millennials who had things
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 3: softer than anybody, and they just presume that that's the normal. Anyway,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 3: she continues, this generation puzzles. Honestly concerns me what's to
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: happen when they become.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: The leaders of the world.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 3: I was fascinated by my own millennial generation ten years ago,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: but now with gen.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: Z, I am absolutely perplexed.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: It's an interesting thoughts that she has, and I think
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 3: that the answer is they gravity, some of them gravitate,
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: some of them are clearly becoming conservative. The young males
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: just loved Trump, and they embraced much of the notion
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: of MAGA because they recoiled at the Marxist view of
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 3: the world that said that white male was the problem
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: for anything. And a lot of those guys are very entrepreneurial.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: Some of the females, though, got a lot of education
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: and all of this stuff.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Now they get these jobs and they want to live
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: like the queen bees of the world. But you have to.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: But all they are right now is worker bees. So
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: they embrace.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 3: Socialism with this whole notion that Okay, the rent will
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 3: be cheap, everything can.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: Be cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: Not understanding that somebody's got to pay for all of
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: that stuff. And when you keep taxing them like this,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: they leave and go away.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 2: And now you don't have their money.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: In the end, it all collapses and you become what's
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: happening in California. You're listening to the Markdelling podcast. This
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: has been a long one. Maybe I'll make tomorrow short.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: Two more things on the Markdelling podcast. First, Wisconsin Senator
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 3: Ron Johnson is announcing that he's holding hearings to investigate
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: and I'll quote the headline because the keyword is plausible
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: plausible mechanisms of COVID nineteen injections causing cancer and attacks
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 3: on scientific publications and research. Ron Johnson has been the
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: one member of the Congress that has been hell bent
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: on truth telling on COVID. The whole time COVID was
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: going down. We were told that there were no side effects,
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: nothing was happening. We're also told a bunch of other
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: lies that if you got the vaccine, you wouldn't get COVID,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: or you wouldn't spread COVID, and so all this stuff.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: But in the meantime, you know, the COVID vaccine, like
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 3: any other medical treatment that we have, is going to
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: create certain problems, and with any medical treatment, the question
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: is that the benefit outwigh of the negatives. Is what
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: happened with the COVID vaccines is we were told that
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: there were no negatives. The first thing they did is
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: they gave immunity to the vaccine makers, and then they
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: have been doing nothing but suppressing all of the obvious
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: problems that have occurred. I've been saying all along, twenty years.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: We'll know at the end of twenty years, which would
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 3: be twenty forty one, which is twenty years after the
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: vaccine came around, whether or not the vaccines on balance
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 3: were good or bad. You can certainly make the case
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: that one of the reasons that we built immunity, where
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: COVID doesn't kill as many people anymore, is because of
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 3: the vaccine. But you also can clearly make the case
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: that a lot of terrible things are happening to people,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: but we don't have There is some medical research that's
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: going on to some of the side effects and some
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: of the things that have happened to people, but it
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: gets scant coverage, and most people just don't want to
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: hear it. They can't omit that they may have been wrong.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 3: They fell for the bs that were spewed by the
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: monstrous liar foci and some of the public health quacks
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: who are some of the dumbest and laziest people in
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: the world.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: And never use the brain that God gave them.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: Okay, maybe this gives you some immunity, but maybe it's
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: causing other problems. So I'll just tell you people between
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: fifty and seventy are dropping dead of heart attacks right
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: and left, and a whole lot of younger people are
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: getting heart attacks. There is and you can see it
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: in the medical research. There's correlationship between myocarditis, and a
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: lot of correlation with aprial fibrillation, fast heartbeat, and so on.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: Now there seems to be the possibility of causation with
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: some cancers. It does not serve us well that we
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 3: are not on top of what some of these things
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: are and we're simply letting people get all these things
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: because we don't want to admit that the vaccines clearly
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: had downsides.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: And I know what it is.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 3: All these people who made fun of the people who
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: wouldn't get themselves vaccinated and were telling us the world
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: was going to end with the vaccines. They don't want
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: to admit that they were right about anything. They might
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: not have been right about all of it. The only
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: guy that's willing to look into this with an open mind,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: to get to the bottom of all the crap that
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 3: happened because of people getting these vaccines is Johnson.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: The big one is going.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 3: To be the idiotic parents who were vaccinating eleven year
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: old kids, putting experimental vaccines in their arm, the MRINA stuff,
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 3: completely unproven, experimental into the bodies of children who had
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 3: no risk of getting COVID at all.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: What are their lives going to.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 3: Be like and how many of them are going to
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: develop all sorts of problems.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: We don't know. We lack leaders. And I blame Trump
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 2: for this too. Trump.
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 3: It was under Trump that the vaccines were developed. They
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 3: were rolled out under Biden. There's no desire on the product.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 3: And I just think that this is part of the
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 3: back and forth in which Bobby Kennedy Junior may not
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 3: be in favor right now. Is Trump doesn't want any
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 3: investigation into whether or not Operation Warp Speed turned out
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 3: shots that didn't do much good. And I don't know
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 3: how much good they did. I think damn near everybody
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: got COVID. And when COVID came up, you recall my
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 3: statement on the show, I just think everybody's gonna get COVID.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 3: Every virus that we have, everybody gets it unless it's
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 3: one that you need contact, like blood to blood. Not
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 3: everybody's gonna get HIV or AIDS, because you need to
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: have blood to blood contact. So if you use dirty needles,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 3: or if you engaged in anal sex, good chance you
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 3: were gonna get COVID because that would be a blood
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 3: to blood transfer, But you weren't going to get it
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: because somebody was sneezing.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: But these viruses that pass.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: Easily common cold influenza to some extent pneumonia.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna get it.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: And we can only hope that after everybody gets in
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: to develop enough immunity that they confined it off in
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: the future. And now this finally, this were the day
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 3: that I was talking about water softeners. When was that, Yeah,
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 3: it might have been whenever it was somebody. It might
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: have been just the last podcast we did. I have
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: somebody who has responded to this. I said, I remember
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: when I was said, does do we still have water
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 3: softeners anymore? I came up because I was talking about
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: a great assault, and then I said, we need a
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 3: whole salt bag. And it occurred to me that I
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: don't see anybody buying salt bags anymore. I also said,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: when I was a kid, a lot of people had
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 3: Colligan where they brought these tanks in. We had when
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 3: I was a kid, we had a water soften. It
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 3: was in the room that they turned into my bedroom.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: Loudest thing in the world, kicked in every night at
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: two o'clock in the morning.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I have an expert in the field.
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: Who has contacted me with information. Hi, Mark, just wanted
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: to respond to your comment about water softens. I've worked
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: for Culligan for thirty seven years. See, somebody else might
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 3: be involved in water softening, but Culligan is the only
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: one I've ever heard of, and we have thousands of
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 3: customers who have softeners that still require salt. Although the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 3: old steel exchanged tanks are obsolete. I mean I even
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: thought they were obsolete when I was seven, because the
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: only people who had them were people who lived in
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 3: really old houses. We build a new house in the
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 3: nineteen sixties. We had a water softenter, but no they'd
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 3: bring in these tanks and there was these these got
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 3: to be the strongest guys in the world, because the
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 3: tank should be swapped out.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 2: They'd be these guys.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 3: And there was the old TV commercial, Hey Culligan man,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: did you ever see that commercial?
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: That's where that came from. And Culligan now does water
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: soft but they used to do the tank. So anyway,
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 2: the tanks.
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: They're absolute well, that is surprising, but many people still
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: have water softenters, mostly customers who have wells or very
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: hard water in areas like Brookfield. In Brookfield, I've always
• 1:21:57

• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: over the soft or just soften up the water that

  Speaker 3: they have and they drink out of the both of
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: them and a lot of the well water that you
