Transcript

SPEAKER_04 0:00

All right. Oh, you're talking to me, or are you still on the thing? No.

SPEAKER_00 0:05

No, I'm off the thing.

SPEAKER_04 0:07

Oh, I need the thing so I can start loading up the thing.

SPEAKER_00 0:10

Okay. Oh, yeah. Here's the thing. In case you want to watch it on Twitter.

SPEAKER_04 0:14

I don't. Oh, yeah. People do, I don't.

SPEAKER_00 0:17

So uh I was just looking around, um, seeing what Adam uh not Adam. Alan Wilson is doing. Uh, it says here, because you know, we have a governor's race. We're so focused on the Senate race. Yeah, I didn't know Russell was gonna be at the Veterans Cafe and Museum yesterday morning. Us. So annoying. I wish they would have known. You know why? Because we're not in the inner circle. I know, not in the inner circle, and it's annoying me.

SPEAKER_04 0:46

We are at circle K, but apparently it ends there.

SPEAKER_00 0:50

That's it. That's all you get. Yeah, I was kind of disappointed in that. How did we how did we not know about this?

SPEAKER_04 1:01

I asked the same thing when I watched the news last night. But we didn't.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

I interviewed Mark Sanford and he didn't even tell us he was gonna be there.

SPEAKER_03 1:08

I'm starting to think that they just don't want us to know anything.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

Nobody wants us. Um I was looking at what Alan Wilson did. Uh he said yesterday, he and um state senator Mike Rick and now he says Rick and Baugh.

SPEAKER_04 1:27

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 1:28

I thought he was Rick and Bach, right? Rick and Bach Ford?

SPEAKER_04 1:31

I I I I only know a Rickenbacher guitar. Rick and Bach. Not Kerr. I know.

SPEAKER_00 1:36

And uh let's see.

SPEAKER_04 1:38

He I know that Mike is a nice man. I got to meet him.

SPEAKER_00 1:40

Oh, he's great.

SPEAKER_04 1:41

Very nice man.

SPEAKER_00 1:42

He's always been wonderful. He and his wife. Okay. So today, which was yesterday, they uh it says here, uh joined leaders from across the state at Century Aluminum's Mount Holly facility to celebrate its return to full production. Well, that was a lame bell. This $50 million investment, says Alan Wilson, has restored more than fifty thousand metric tons of domestic primary aluminum production, strengthened America's manufacturing base, and supported hundreds of South Carolina jobs. Thank you to the President Trump and uh Commerce Governor uh Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for putting American manufacturing first and fighting for policies that bring jobs and industry back home. South Carolina's best days are ahead. And uh I don't know where Mount Holly is, but um that's pretty exciting. That's excellent. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:49

Sorry, I'm uploading.

SPEAKER_00 2:51

Yeah, that's okay. So I also saw that Russell Fry posted, proud to receive a gold standard ratings award for a 100% score from CPAC. I'll never waver. He spelt uh that wrong, I think. Nope, that's intentional. Is that waiver? I don't know. No, that that's the right waiver. In my commitment to conservative principles.

SPEAKER_04 3:21

There's a difference between a waiver and a guy standing on a beach.

SPEAKER_00 3:24

Well, that's what I'm saying. Like look at that waiver. How do you I'll never waver? How do you spell that waiver? I would think it'd be W-A-I-V-E-R. No, that's a waiver or something.

SPEAKER_04 3:35

No, waiver. Yeah, yeah. Wait.

unknown 3:38

All right.

SPEAKER_00 3:39

So if you say I'll never waver.

SPEAKER_04 3:41

What are we good at? Because we're not good at math. Apparently, we're failing at English.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

It just looks weird that it's W-A-V-E-R. Is it waver? I'll never waver.

SPEAKER_04 3:53

The correct spelling is waver without the eye.

SPEAKER_00 3:56

There you go. So it isn't. He'll never waver. Uh he'll never do this. He'll never what? He'll never do this. Well, that's what that means, right? I'm never gonna go back and forth like a wave.

SPEAKER_04 4:12

Why do people listen to this show?

SPEAKER_00 4:13

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 4:14

Not offering them.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

I like my brain is totally shot right now. It's literally shot. You know, you want to hear something really interesting? Um uh I was, you know, I'm in the process of getting this mortgage.

SPEAKER_04 4:30

Uh oh yeah, yeah. How's that going?

SPEAKER_00 4:32

Well, it's going very interestingly. And what happened is I get a phone call and they're like, uh, your home insurance has has doubled. I said, What are you talking about? They said, Well, when they were doing the underwriting, the it changes all the numbers. How come nobody does overwriting?

SPEAKER_04 4:53

It's just a question I have.

SPEAKER_00 4:54

Well, because overwriting is bad. Oh, is it? Well, you don't want to overwrite anything. I do. Because that means you I like to be over copy over.

SPEAKER_04 5:03

It's overrated. Never mind.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

Yes. So so they said, um, your homeowner's insurance is $4,550. I said, what? And they said, yeah, with it's with frontline. And I go, no, no, no, no, no. That's my current home. I pay over $4,500 for my homeowner's insurance from front frontline.

SPEAKER_04 5:23

Do you have homeowners insurance with a dog?

SPEAKER_00 5:26

No, seriously, that's the name of it. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 5:29

So no fleas or ticks, and we protect you against hurricanes too.

SPEAKER_00 5:35

So Peggy Davis set me up with a a local uh insurance guy that you know does these insurance um homeowners insurance for like near the beach. It's very hard to get insurance when you're like by the ocean. Yeah. So I I contacted him and um and he gave me a rate of 2880 a year. And I was like, why is why is this home closer to the ocean but less money? And it's because the home is built to 2021 hurricane um strength uh specs. So even though my home now is ICF walls, I mean you'd be hard pressed to blow that house down. Uh, but that it doesn't matter to them if it's made out of cement or if it may it's made out of sticks, it's all the same. I don't know why. Anyway, long story short, I can't believe that the new home is much less an insurance. So they had the wrong insurance when they were doing the underwriting. They pulled the one from my current home. So I had like for five minutes of the conversation, I was having like a panic attack because she was like, oh, the numbers have to all be changed. We have to go back to and I said, Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. I don't have frontline for this new home. I have a, I think it's called Orion. But isn't home homeowners insurance absolutely so ridiculously priced these days?

SPEAKER_04 7:15

We had a my wife had a really hard time finding something that was affordable.

SPEAKER_01 7:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:20

And it's like, and we were told a couple of different things. One person was very honest with us and said, trying to recoup recoup losses from all the hurricanes over the last couple of years, Florida and whatever. And a whole bunch of people in our neighborhood, including us, fell for the Hi, we're from some blah blah blah roofing company, and we notice you got problems. We can get this done and you don't have to pay a dime. Maybe just your deductible. Right. Well, everybody in the neighborhood got a new roof. Yeah. Guess what? We're paying for it.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

Yeah. Yeah. We did it too. And I did it just before I moved from that house in Forestbrook. They have a brand new roof. Um, but you know, uh the roof, the other roof was old. And I had I had a hail storm. Did you have the hailstone?

SPEAKER_02 8:08

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00 8:09

I had video of that hailstorm. It it that storm came through and it pulled siding off my house. And I have it all on video. I happen to be stuck in the car. I was like, what is going on? And um yeah, so it caused some damage. But you know, um yeah, the roof repair, and of course, um we haven't had many storms since then. Thank God. And so I guess uh I haven't seen any of those companies coming around, have you? Are they still doing that? I have well What was the name of that company? Weather something? I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

Weather Weather Shield? No.

SPEAKER_00 8:52

No.

SPEAKER_04 8:53

The company that they got everybody in our neighborhood, so now they're done. Well they're off to another neighborhood.

SPEAKER_00 8:58

Another 25 years.

SPEAKER_04 9:00

Yeah. I mean, that they did a great job on our roof. I'm not slamming that, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_00 9:04

Yeah, no, I I know the whole racket. Yeah, they've been knocking at doors.

SPEAKER_04 9:07

Oh, yeah, and insurance companies, oh, they won't raise your rates. This is all part of my life. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00 9:13

This new house I'm getting has a 50-year roof. Wow. So I'm good for a while.

SPEAKER_04 9:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:22

I don't think I'll be here forever.

SPEAKER_04 9:24

Here's another observation. The change in the tax rate increased my mortgage by a hundred bucks a month.

SPEAKER_00 9:29

Remember, we were talking about that, right? How much everything has gone up. I just got a new letter about an assessment or something in the mail. Like something's gonna go up. But you know, it's funny because I don't even really read it. Because it makes me queasy. And I, you know, I kind of what I have no choice, right? That's what happens. You have no choice. You get it paid, or what's the alternative? You can't fight City Hall, right? Well, you can.

SPEAKER_04 10:04

Or is Brad Fowler.

SPEAKER_00 10:06

I mean, when you I I mean, I got a letter from Ori County um, I think a month ago saying things were gonna change, but I don't know how they're gonna change. I don't really know how that works.

SPEAKER_04 10:19

Uh you know, and it's designed that way. Who who were we talking to yesterday? Oh, Jimmy Richardson. Everything when it comes to the government, whether it be laws, whether it be city ordinance, all of that stuff is written exactly the way it is on purpose. It's ambiguous, it raises, you know, uh and and different motivations behind it.

SPEAKER_00 10:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:44

You know, as far as the bills and the laws, things like that. Well, that's because then, you know, it's job security for the lawyers. They write them that way on purpose. You know, the 15th Circuit solicitor, Jimmy Richardson, was right. They could simply just say, here is the law, but they create all this verbiage and blah blah blah, you know, and then it's loopholes. Same thing with city ordinances and tax code. Yeah, exactly. On purpose. Everything is written so murky and you know, think about the the goofy questions that they put, these referendum questions that they throw on the ballots. And it's like honestly, if you're just not really paying attention, you look at it and you go, Oh, well, I should go, I should say yes. But if you look at it closely, say, no, no, no, no. No, it's not yes. I want to say no here.

SPEAKER_00 11:27

It's gonna cost you. Anything that's on the ballot is going to cost you. And like we've been told, well, if you vote this down, we're gonna get you in another way. So what's the difference? And I say, Yeah, but then that'll be on you. Then it's on your record that you increased our taxes. Instead, you're like, Do you want to pay just a penny on a dollar? What's the big deal? Yeah, exactly. Right? Then you'll get nice new rows. And it's like, you know, oh, you you're right. I'll pay an extra penny and do my part on every dollar I spend. And it's not, it's not a penny, really. It's one percent of everything you spend, right? Yeah. And so I said, Why would I want to tax myself? Why don't you tax us? And then I blame you for the tax increase. You need money. Because he said, either way, we got to get the money.

SPEAKER_04 12:14

You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of why they want to get rid of the filibuster, the zombie filibuster, where they can just kind of quietly without even saying anything or standing up for their case as to why, yes or no. They just kind of quietly go, well, no. And then nobody says anything, and then, oh well, it didn't pass. Because they want them out there in front of the microphone, in front of the American public. This is why I'm voting no on the Save America Act. Nobody has the you know what to do it.

SPEAKER_00 12:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:43

And apparently there's 15 senators on the GOP that don't want to get rid of the filibuster either, but nobody names them. Sean Hannity had every opportunity to ask Thune last night.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Oh, yeah, I saw it.

SPEAKER_04 12:54

Thune just threw it out there. Well, there's 15 that are, you know, hard nose on this. Do you think Sean Hannity would follow? Who are the 15? Name them. No. I got that little clip. He says Thune says there's just not enough support. Are you kidding me? 80% of Americans vote on it. Because. Yeah. Well, if we maybe we can get it through on a budget reconciliation thing. No, it should be a standalone thing, and everybody should be like, yeah, we want election integrity. We know the Democrats don't. Why? Well, that's obvious. But who are these pukes on supposedly the right side of the aisle? Ugh. Yeah. Today's one of those days. It's Taco Tuesday. We have no tacos, and I'm already angry. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

I don't know. I I you know, they say, well, if we eliminate the filibuster, then they go to the Democrat side. And you think they're not going to? You know what I feel? I feel like the filibuster being in place stops them from actually having to do work. That and it protects the Uniparty.

SPEAKER_04 14:08

Yeah. Nobody has to go on record as to why they are for or against anything. Right. They don't have any you know what. What's the word besides that? Cajones? No. Okay. I was gonna stay away from that one, but thank you. I lost my appetite for the tacos.

SPEAKER_00 14:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 14:24

Interesting. The who what is that? It's it's some sort of phrase that you the hootzpa. What do you say? Thank you. Accent on and on my bread. Eddie Murphy. He said he went into the foreign language uh restaurant and people are gonna hock it, hock it, hock it on my bread.

SPEAKER_03 14:41

He goes, I don't want to hockin' on my bread. That's what it reminds me of.

SPEAKER_04 14:48

Listen to greatness for just a second here. Ready? That's cool too. Do you play that? No. Okay. I've watched people like try to do it. Nobody ever does it quite right. I think the only guy who can do it right is the guy who wrote it. Yeah. I've heard people get close, but I watch them.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

I'm like, I don't think someone writes that. I think they just do it.

SPEAKER_04 15:35

Oh no, he was pretty intentional with his stuff.

SPEAKER_00 15:37

Really?

SPEAKER_04 15:38

Yeah. I mean he was there were times where he jammed it.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

I mean, like, I think he just jamming and then he wrote it.

SPEAKER_04 15:43

Well, it I think it's like, oh, this is leading me here and then leading me here. But there was intent with the way he wrote that. Yeah. Because of how it follows. It's just the technique to be able to pull that off like that. I've never seen anybody, I've seen copies and they get close and they're pretty good. You know, I would I'd be like, whoa, that's good, but nothing like the original. And when I see that, it's like, I don't even want to do that. If I can't do it exactly perfect like him, and that's a lot of time invested. That is a really intricate piece. And it's like, do I want to spend hours and hours and hours just copying some guy? No. But you know, I'll take things from it that inspire me and then I'll move on and make my own.

SPEAKER_00 16:22

Yeah. Yeah. No, I gotcha. So I gotcha. Listen, I I haven't even picked up the guitar yet. I organized I organized all my stuff, all my um gifts, so they're all in one bag.

SPEAKER_04 16:35

Did you take a thousand pictures? Of my my wife.

SPEAKER_00 16:40

A thousand pictures.

SPEAKER_04 16:41

She will set everything up and then she'll take pictures from different angles. This is my hall for today's whatever. Oh no. She does that for the kids and me and her. And it's like, you know, she takes these all these pictures, I never see them again.

SPEAKER_00 16:53

Did I give you that floppy drive?

SPEAKER_04 16:54

Yes. Oh, okay. I did give it to you. Floppy.

SPEAKER_00 16:57

Whatever.

unknown 16:58

Wait a minute.

SPEAKER_04 16:59

Yeah, I'm gonna insert it in my uh my Commodore 64 as soon as I get home.

SPEAKER_02 17:04

Floppy drive. What are you talking about? Wow! This show just went all the way back to 1990.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

Maybe 84. Probably, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:19

I got a floppy drive. We got anything. It wasn't like a one.

SPEAKER_00 17:23

What do they call it? A thumb drive, right?

SPEAKER_04 17:25

Yes. Something like that. Listen, you got a floppy drive. You might want to talk to a doctor. Nobody killed for that. Our people do. Our people do. They're old like us. All 18 people listening to us. We're up to like 40 subscribers on our brand new YouTube channel.

SPEAKER_00 17:40

So I met this guy from Romania yesterday. Oh he's a huge fan.

SPEAKER_04 17:44

Really? Of this show?

SPEAKER_00 17:45

Yeah. What's wrong with him? I don't know. Um considering he's very intelligent and very successful. I'm always I'm always shocked when I find it.

SPEAKER_04 17:55

Maybe we're his guilty pleasure.

SPEAKER_00 17:58

We are.

SPEAKER_04 17:58

I mean, look at you. I consider you very intelligent. And then you watch that slop called The Housewives of I love that show. See? Guilty pleasure. So intelligent people need a guilty pleasure, and it usually is something that is ten times dumber than they are. Hence where we come in.

SPEAKER_00 18:15

We filled that niche. Yes. Anyway, what do you think? Or is a niche? It's niche. I never get it right. No, I think a niche is like a like a like a thing, like a vibe. That's my niche. But if it's like a hole in a wall, it's like a niche, right? Uh sure. I don't know the difference.

SPEAKER_02 18:38

Anyway.

SPEAKER_00 18:39

Sort of like the word waver. I don't understand. I'm on the beach. I'm waving. I will never waver. Right. So I will never. Okay. Back to the guy from Romania. Oh, so the guy from Romania. How did he find out about us? Oh, does he live here now? He's been live. Yeah. He's uh lived here for you. No. Oh, that's um Moldova. Isn't that another Romania guy? Romanian guy. Moldova? I don't know. That's I don't know where Moldova is. It's kind of Romania-ish. Math, English, geography.

SPEAKER_03 19:12

What are we good at?

SPEAKER_00 19:13

I just need to go home.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

How do you spell that really into that?

SPEAKER_02 19:17

How do you spell that? Moldova. Magnova. Oh, that helps. Thank you. M. Dova.

SPEAKER_00 19:29

That's so hard to understand. Um God, do we suck?

SPEAKER_04 19:36

It's a country in Europe.

SPEAKER_00 19:38

Thanks.

SPEAKER_03 19:39

I kind of figured that. Just helping you out. They got a flag in it.

SPEAKER_00 19:46

Um Roman. That was his name. No, this is a different guy. Oh.

SPEAKER_04 19:50

This is my name is from Romania. Romania. I'm Roman from Romania. I want to send your blood.

SPEAKER_00 20:01

This guy's name is Emile, and he's very successful. Okay. And I was shocked. I was like, and you listen to our show? What's wrong with you? Something's wrong. That's a character flaw. But he was telling me, listen to this. This is a very interesting conversation that I'll have to tell in the next break because we're out of time.

SPEAKER_03 20:19

Oh, we're actually going to try to be on time.

SPEAKER_00 20:23

We're going to do an official tease. When we come back, I will tell you all that Emile told me about Romania. Yeah, he sounded very angry with me just chit-chatting. I was scared. He was gonna think he was gonna ask me for my papers. He was scared. We'll be back. Is that the Moldova anthem?

SPEAKER_04 20:47

No.

SPEAKER_00 20:48

Oh.

SPEAKER_04 20:48

It's the Romanian national anthem. Because you're gonna finish your story about the Romanian dude that likes the show.

SPEAKER_00 20:59

Yeah, so I I met him and he's like, you know how many times I want to call in or um I want to text in to punch my radio. No. He's saying when you're talking, when you're talking about how there are people that are pushing for socialism and um communism, he moved here in uh when he was 25. He's now in his 60s. And he said he escaped Romania when USSR's revolution happened and uh they were coming uh with the communism and all that. And he said that uh in the eighties and he said that his parents defected first and then he came after, and like like two months later after he left, it was just complete lockdown. And he said um he was in college um in school. I forgot um what he was doing, but he Said that the professor was saying here that you know, talking good about communism, and he said to his professor, you know, the difference between you talking about communism um and um you know uh and about the truth about communism is the fact that I've lived it and I escaped it and you didn't. Communism doesn't end well. And people that romanticize it and think it's a good, it's it's you know, see what happens is people are generally good people. And they think that we need to help everybody. And for example, you know, like in Norway or Finland, they have a lot of social programs. But you know what he told me? He knows a guy from Finland. And they don't they don't put value in the same things that we put value in, but they give 70, they're not a communist country. But and you know how they always say we need the Norway model with all these social programs. The people in Finland give give back 770% of their salary to the government to pay. So when you have a child, he said, you are on a two-year maternity leave, still making your salary, and you as the mom are home for two years raising that child. Now, I guess the people in that country agree with it with this, and they they say we're fine with the, you know, so we can only afford this house, and it keeps all the prices down because as a massive population, they can't afford a $500,000 house. Right. They can only afford a $250,000 house because the government's taking 70% of their salary, so all the moms can stay home, all the people can get health care, all so everybody's working, but it's all kind of dumbed down financially.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

Right.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

And so when when people say, he said to them, yeah, but I was told that you're the happiest people on the earth. And he's like, Well, our bar is very low. That's what the guy said.

SPEAKER_04 24:27

Context is important.

SPEAKER_00 24:28

Context is important.

SPEAKER_04 24:29

Yeah, I got it.

SPEAKER_00 24:31

So, in you know, like let's say I was living in Norway and I didn't have to worry about healthcare. We all got the same health care, right? You don't have to worry about it. And okay, so I work and the government takes 70%, but I never have to worry about my future. I never have to worry if, hey, if I have a child, I'm home for two years. I can take care of my own child. It sounds like good on paper, but the individualism.

SPEAKER_04 24:59

Right.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

But because we're American, we can't possibly comprehend not having the individualism of ambition. So it's like just being fed enough, just being housed enough, wouldn't it be lovely to just be happy with what you have? Content. But who makes that decision? But that's what I'm saying. That decision is being made for you. So it kills ambition. And if you don't it it and if you don't need an army, because no one's attacking you, because you have no ambition as a country, then you don't have to spend all of your money on defense. Right? No one's attacking you. So if you're like not being attacked, you're not being uh you're not having a terrorist target on your back, you're not this, you're not that. Uh you know, they're kind of just living their lives and coasting through. Coasting through life. Now we know of people in our lives that just coast.

SPEAKER_04 26:08

And that would sound appealing to them.

SPEAKER_00 26:10

Right. But then I know people like me, I'm like, what's next? What's next? I need a good investment. I need to be doing something. If I'm not like doing something, I don't know, like if I'm not moving and creating something new or building, I feel like I don't know. I don't I get that's why I do it to myself, I guess. Maybe I would be happier if I was just content with stuff.

SPEAKER_04 26:36

No, you wouldn't. You need that creative outlet somewhere.

SPEAKER_00 26:40

Well, that's what I'm saying. It that's what it stifles. So, like, while it it sounds good to have your wings clipped and kept in a cage and fed, where does, you know, where does that individualism, that that joy of creating something or being able to do something for someone that you can do personally, where does that come in? So I don't know if they're missing out or if I'm missing out and the meaning of life that's all I'm saying. So when you when you talk about it, now I I can I just be fed enough, housed enough, earn enough income, just enough income to do what I'm gonna do, you know, what is happiness? What is happiness? What is being content mean? What is what is bringing you joy? What brings you joy? You know, and I guess you get to a certain age where you're like, okay, I have enough money. I could I can buy this small little place in this beautiful little town and just do my thing for the rest of my life. But I'm not ready to do that yet. I'm striving and reaching and doing these things, but for some reason, I don't know, that's my thing. I'm always looking for the next thing. But there are other people in our lives they choose not to, and that's what makes America great. You can do whatever you want to do, as much as you want to do, but there it's not a choice. And that's where the problem comes in. That's where the problem comes in. Where you cannot, you have to do what the government is the society is telling you what to do. And that's where I think the problem is. So when you talk to someone who comes from a a heavy government, heavy and we do have a heavy government, we really do. But still sometimes I feel like we can be individual. You can be whatever you want to be, right? We've always been told that. This is America. You can have the house, the picket fence, the 2.5 children, and the dog. You you can have that if you want, or you can, yeah, you can you can do whatever you want in America. It's freedom. And I'll tell you, moving from New York to here, I had a sense of freedom that I've never understood. I didn't realize how regulated I was in New York. And that is an example of how you just accept and you move within the confines of your government. It's happening to me right now. And, you know, looking at the HOA documents. I can't do this, I can't do that, I can't do this, I can't do that. Okay, so I'm gonna operate within the rules because I want to live in this particular community. So I'm willing to give up my rights to put a white rock bed in the front of my yard. Instead, I'm gonna put the mulch because I want to live in the confines of this development. And I have to follow the rules. So I am willing, willingly engaging in that. But that's what makes America great. If I want to go live on a six-acre lot in Loras and not have those confines, that's up to me. That's American.

SPEAKER_04 30:17

I agree with you.

SPEAKER_00 30:19

But when you're in Norway and there's one system, no matter what, you have to leave your home in order to pursue your dreams. That's what the people today who are pushing socialism don't quite get. Like they're trying to impose their lack of ambition and contentness on me. Now, if you want to be content and live in your parents' basement apartment um and just do your thing and work a menial job and make a menial income and just make enough to get by, have at it. Why are you wanting it to impose it on me? That's where the problem comes in. And that's the beauty of America. Because people say, Well, don't you want to live in a place where the government and society they help each other? Blah, blah, blah. Well, we have a wonderful philanthropic community.

SPEAKER_04 31:18

Yeah, actually, we do.

SPEAKER_00 31:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 31:20

When that's not forced, see, government programs are nothing but I'm sorry, but they get it's waste, fraud, and abuse. Every single government program. Yeah. None of them are efficient. Right. Because there is bureaucracy built into it.

unknown 31:35

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00 31:37

But he just had me thinking, I mean, he's not for Norway at all. He was he was talking about how amazing America is. Right. But then I like I was thinking about it, and I was like, yeah, you know, Bernie Sanders is always pushing this, you know, Norway. The Norway version. Exactly. It's like you can't for A, you can't take them seriously. B, they're they're able to push this because they live in America. Yeah, thank you. They wouldn't have these freedoms to even speak like this.

SPEAKER_04 32:09

You know, the budget blinds tax line sounding off on a couple of things. Well, the U.S. military protects the entire world just by existing. Exactly. So they don't really need a military. So I get that, and that's true. That's a very true statement. This one, I'm not sure I agree with the uh the tax, the the numbers he's throwing around, but I guess if you consider sales tax, taxes on all of the taxes are ridiculous. Here, I mean. Yeah. He said we pay what? 50 to 60 percent of taxes? Our programs are pretty much socialists now. I I don't disagree with you.

SPEAKER_00 32:38

Yeah, but you can vote that out.

SPEAKER_04 32:40

You can, but nobody does. No. Every time we have an opportunity, it's like you've got these people that that go for the knee-jerk reaction, which is oh, you don't care about this whatever sector the population or this. We need that money for this. You don't care. And then Republicans cave because they don't want to seem like they're heartless. Or they're in on the grift, or both. So nothing ever goes away.

SPEAKER_00 33:06

This this ride for what a scam. I mean, the whole thing is a scam. Listen, I drove down Forestbrook Road for the first time in a really long time when I was going to your house to drop off Nicolina.

SPEAKER_01 33:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:19

I was literally wanting to cry. I really have to cry.

SPEAKER_04 33:24

Which road specifically were you driving down that made you go, uh Forestbrook. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 33:28

And I was looking at these people's homes. Yes. And I was like, oh my gosh, eminent domain, look at what's happened.

SPEAKER_04 33:35

Do you see where they cleared the trees and much of the sod and all that? Literally five feet from the front door. What's gonna happen to that house? Is that house going away?

SPEAKER_00 33:44

They already probably bought it, the government.

SPEAKER_04 33:46

You think so?

SPEAKER_00 33:47

Pennies on the dollar. Okay. Eminent domain, right? Well, I'm just wondering, I haven't heard anybody say you can live like that. Of course not. I'm about to bought the house.

SPEAKER_04 33:54

I haven't heard anybody say anything about that yet, yet. Where they say, I'm losing my home. All I've heard people say is, we're losing all the trees, we're losing part of our yard. But nobody has yet said, I'm losing my home. Because if you look closely, there's no way they can continue to live there. And I don't mean one or two homes. I mean several.

SPEAKER_00 34:13

That's a feeling of communism right there. Yeah, it is. Where the government comes in and says, Listen, you gotta move. We're building this road. We we how does that make you feel? Like you're forced to move and sell your home because of the fact that they have to make a six-lane highway or something, or bridge, or whatever. That is that would be like, you know, systemic if it was like a communist thing or a so like you're you can't, you know, you're told to jump and then you ask how high. You know what I mean? That's basically what it is. And the young people don't understand it because they romanticize. Isn't it nice that everybody has exactly what they need, they don't want for anything because everybody has the same.

SPEAKER_04 35:07

But people in the system, it's inherent in the system that are people that abuse it. You look, it's the leaders and the elite.

SPEAKER_00 35:15

Yeah, but if everybody works that way. If the whole nation was dumbed down, and there is one puppeteer controlling all the strings and keeping everybody dumbed down financially, and they numb your ambition, what's what's the spice of life? These are are they really enjoying life?

SPEAKER_04 35:43

Well, we don't really know. And you look at the way they behave, either on social media or on camera or whatever. No, I don't think they're very happy at all. These are the same people.

SPEAKER_00 35:51

When they come here, they realize it's like go, it's like it's like the Wizard of Oz. They come here and it's in technicolor.

SPEAKER_04 35:58

No, I mean the people here in our own country that is saying we need the government to run everything and this is fair. And those are the same people that were happy to be locked down, were happy to have the government tell them they needed 17 shots and updates. Happy to wear the mask. Okay, that's why the look. But look at what happened to us. We fought back. Yeah, we did. And it turns out everything we said was true. And I don't mean just part of it, everything.

SPEAKER_00 36:23

Everything. Everything.

SPEAKER_04 36:24

All you have to do is reference his own dang diaries, and I'm talking about Fauci.

SPEAKER_00 36:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 36:29

Anyway.

SPEAKER_00 36:30

Yeah. Yeah. What he said. Okay. All right. Time to go.

SPEAKER_02 36:35

This is the Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers back in a bit.

SPEAKER_00 36:39

That'll means you get philosophical on you. No, it was good. But it's just the point. The point is don't be fooled. All right.
