WEBVTT 00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:13.920 Helping to secure the blessings of liberty to 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:17.280 ourselves and our posterity. This is the Constitution 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.160 Study on the American Outlaw Network with your 00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.440 host, Paul Engel. 00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:33.920 Let them eat cake is a translation of 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.200 a phrase spoken by an 18th-century French princess 00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:40.160 showing her utter disregard of the people she 00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:43.200 was charged with ruling. In 21st century America, 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.080 it's more about government actors' disregard for the 00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.440 impacts of their laws and policies. Hello there, 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.760 everyday Americans. Paul Engel here with the Constitution 00:00:51.760 --> 00:00:53.760 Study, where we read and study the Constitution. 00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.480 Teacherizing Generation Be Freak. Glad you could join 00:00:56.480 --> 00:00:58.320 me today. You know, you think about it. 00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:01.360 How often does some government actor with 00:01:01.360 --> 00:01:03.920 allegedly the best of intentions, of course, we 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.320 know what that paves, they come up and 00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:07.840 say, Well, no, we're going to do this 00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.160 because, well, we just we have the best 00:01:10.160 --> 00:01:13.200 of intentions, with an absolute and utter 00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:16.640 disregard for the history of, well, not 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.520 only fair government project projects, but the unintended 00:01:19.520 --> 00:01:22.080 consequences and in frequent cases, 00:01:22.320 --> 00:01:25.360 absolutely damaging impact these 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:28.640 rules and laws and regulations create. 00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:31.520 I mean, you remember what Ronald Reagan said. 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.280 I've always felt the nine most terrifying 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.160 words in the English language are I'm from 00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:40.960 the government and I'm here to help. Well, 00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.600 there are plenty of examples of where, well, 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.080 government meddling, especially in things you're not legally 00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:49.360 authorized to, has caused problems. And 00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:52.480 uh frequently it comes back to bite us 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.280 in the backside. Let's start with uh President 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.920 Van, uh Vice President Vance, sorry, made an 00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.960 announcement the other day um claiming that the 00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:03.840 Trump administration administration is gonna suspend 00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:06.480 870,000 people 00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:10.560 from access to federal loan 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.320 programs uh and grants 00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:15.680 because they are suspected of 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.880 defrauding the COVID-19 pandemic 00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:21.520 small business loans. You know, that that that 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:24.240 slush fund of money that the government threw 00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:26.640 in order to bribe the American people and 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.600 American small businesses into not going under after 00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:32.880 they illegally uh shut them down or deprived 00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:34.800 them of access to customers or all sorts 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.840 of crazy things. They threw the these billions 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.640 of dollars, said, here you go. And surprise, 00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.280 surprise, people cheated. 00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:46.320 And but here's the other interesting thing. So, 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.040 okay, uh they they took money for the 00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:52.080 things like the paycheck protection program and whatnot. 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.800 That again, the federal government's not legally authorized 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.200 to spend that money, right? This was embezzled 00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:00.400 money from the American people. And uh 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:03.200 guess what? Government, which is really about uh 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.280 I think is only efficient in doing one 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.480 thing, and that's wasting your money, they offered 00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:11.200 these things often with little oversight, with little 00:03:11.200 --> 00:03:14.560 verification. And um, well, 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:18.000 like I said, they they looked at 870,000 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.360 people. Now, they're suspected of 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:24.000 defrauding the government. They haven't been proven to 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.040 defraud the government yet. So now we've got 00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:29.520 another problem. Oh, well, somebody accused you of 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.440 doing this. We haven't proven it yet, but 00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:34.000 we're gonna suspend you because someone accused you. 00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:36.240 Well, we're gonna suspend you from this illegal 00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:38.400 program because again, the federal government's not authorized 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.080 to be a banker. They're not there to 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.960 loan money. Um, so again, this is just 00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.320 a complete, utter disaster. Now, 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.840 the Justice Department between June 12th and September 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.200 1st ran this program called Heartland Fraud 00:03:53.200 --> 00:03:56.320 Surge, where they found where they charged 00:03:56.320 --> 00:03:59.760 160 people with uh fraud defying the 00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:02.960 American taxpayer of about 245 million dollars. 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:06.800 Uh, it involved 44 different U.S. attorney's offices, 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.400 20 state and federal initiative investigations. It 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.040 was a pretty big thing. And it is 00:04:13.040 --> 00:04:14.800 estimated that um 00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:19.120 of the 870,000 uh 00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.480 suspected fraudsters, well, there's $39 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.840 billion in fraud that was part of 00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:28.800 this. Yes, I'm from the government, I'm here 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.880 to help, and yes, I'm gonna make another 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:32.400 farce out of it. That's kind of the 00:04:32.400 --> 00:04:34.960 way things are. That's why I keep telling 00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:37.520 people it wasn't COVID-19 that that made all 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:39.520 the mess in this country. It was government's 00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:42.800 reaction to COVID-19. It was things like 00:04:42.960 --> 00:04:46.160 um, well, the these the the the 00:04:47.280 --> 00:04:49.920 shutting down, uh putting in rules that you 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.880 had to be vaccinated, uh, six feet distances, 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.600 shutting down uh schools and and and 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.560 businesses, and uh not just the federal government, 00:04:58.640 --> 00:05:01.520 but governments at all levels did this. It 00:05:01.520 --> 00:05:04.080 was the government reaction to COVID that caused 00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:05.760 all the problems. And it was a government 00:05:05.760 --> 00:05:07.520 reaction to COVID that led to, guess what? 00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.800 The federal government embezzling billions of dollars from 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:12.480 you in order to make up for the 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.800 losses that they caused. You know, let's let's 00:05:14.960 --> 00:05:16.880 let it was basically saying, hey, I'll tell 00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:18.720 you what, I'm gonna come, I'm gonna break 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:21.520 your leg, and then I'm gonna take your 00:05:21.520 --> 00:05:23.360 money to take you to the hospital and 00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:24.560 take you to the hospital, and then I'm 00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.400 gonna set your leg. I'm not a doctor, 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:27.680 I have no idea what I'm doing, but 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.440 I'm gonna set your leg anyway. I'm gonna 00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:30.880 charge you a bunch of money for it. 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:33.520 And uh, yeah, that's kind of what the 00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:35.440 federal government did and the state governments did, 00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:38.560 and even some local governments did, to this 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.360 nation in response to a virus that was 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.920 basically a bad flu. 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:46.480 I know a lot of people get pissed 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:47.440 when I say that, but when you look 00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:50.320 at the number of deaths from the from 00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:53.600 actual COVID, not death with COVID, but death 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.040 from COVID, it was basically a bad flu 00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.400 season. Now, of course, when you're talking medical 00:06:00.400 --> 00:06:02.720 care, you have to understand the federal government's 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.160 takeover of the medical. They didn't socialize it 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:07.680 yet, but they did the just about the 00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.640 next best thing. So, first you had Medicaid 00:06:10.640 --> 00:06:14.080 and Medicare, which like the 800-pound gorilla in 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.360 in the the funding stream of medications, 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.000 right? You you had uh uh the the 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.200 whole push towards um services 00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.720 were often determined based on Medicaid and Medicare 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.920 coverage and their funding model. Uh so 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.760 that put their thumbs on the scale and 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:33.360 twisted the system up. Of course, you can 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.280 go all the way back to the 1930s 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.160 when uh during the Great Depression, the federal 00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.480 government got the brilliant idea that, hey, we 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.480 can tell businesses what they can pay their 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.680 employees. There's nothing legal about that, there's nothing 00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.760 in the Constitution that authorizes that. That was 00:06:47.760 --> 00:06:50.640 a criminal act, but they did it anyway. 00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:53.040 And then these big companies said, Well, listen, 00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:55.120 how are we supposed to entice the best 00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.440 employees if we can't pay them any more 00:06:57.680 --> 00:06:59.600 any more than our competitor? So, you know 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.440 what they did? They said, Tell you what, 00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:04.320 we'll make you a deal. You can offer 00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:07.440 benefits like health care, and you can deduct 00:07:07.440 --> 00:07:08.800 it from your taxes. 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.320 So now, okay, well, listen, I can't offer 00:07:12.320 --> 00:07:14.240 you a more pay, but I can offer 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.240 you a better health care plan. And the 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.840 business said, well, you know, I can write 00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:19.600 this off my taxes, so it doesn't cost 00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:22.400 me. I can go for that platinum level 00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:24.640 plan because I'm not paying that rate because 00:07:24.640 --> 00:07:26.880 I'm deducting that cost from my taxes. But 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:29.120 of course, you and me, the average everyday 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:30.720 American, we want to go get get health 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.400 insurance. Can we deduct it from our taxes? 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.400 Well, they said, No, you can't do that. 00:07:34.640 --> 00:07:36.320 You got to get corporations to do that, 00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:38.000 which is why at the time, you know, 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.440 most Americans got their insurance through their 00:07:41.440 --> 00:07:41.760 work. 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:44.880 And then, of course, you had the so-called 00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:47.280 Affordable Care Act, which was really the Unaffordable 00:07:47.280 --> 00:07:49.600 Care Act, where the federal government tried to 00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.320 take over and tell everybody this is the 00:07:52.320 --> 00:07:53.920 insurance you need, and this is what you 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:55.920 need to pay for. You end up with 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.080 stupid things like single men having to pay 00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:00.480 for abortion coverage. Uh, yeah, you know, I 00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.760 had people that were were um uh again 00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.960 that were religiously opposed to certain treatments having 00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.880 to pay for those. You had a group 00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:11.760 of nuns that the government said you have 00:08:11.760 --> 00:08:14.000 to pay for abortion coverage. A group of 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:14.640 nuns, 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.400 I mean, ladies and habits. I'm not talking 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.520 families with no uh uh no income, right? 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.640 Um, but no affiliations. But again, the the 00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:27.120 the government and what happened when the so-called 00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.640 Affordable Care Act took place? 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.720 Health care insurance premiums skyrocketed. 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:35.360 And the very people they said they would 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:36.960 protect that they that they were gonna protect 00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.760 the American people from, the insurance companies, they 00:08:39.920 --> 00:08:43.040 made a boatload of money in collusion with 00:08:43.040 --> 00:08:45.600 the federal government. Well, here we are, 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:46.960 2021, 00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.880 and uh there was a survey done of 00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:54.080 employers and about the 00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.520 their their health benefit costs, right? Employee-sponsored 00:08:57.520 --> 00:09:00.320 health benefits, they expect it to rise another 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.520 eight percent next year. Notice 00:09:03.680 --> 00:09:06.640 in 2027, if you get your insurance through 00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:09.520 your your employer, expect the prices to go 00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:12.480 up on average eight percent. That's the largest 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.360 in key increase from 2023. 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.200 Let me ask you that. Has the Affordable 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.320 Care Act made healthcare more affordable, or has 00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.200 it really made it more expensive and more 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.160 complicated? I mean, I remember when I stopped 00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:30.160 working in corporate American, I'd provide for my 00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:33.040 own health insurance. It was crazy. I need 00:09:33.040 --> 00:09:35.280 to I need to hire somebody just to 00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:38.720 help me walk me through the process of 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.720 getting the right coverage for me and my 00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.360 family. It was crazy, and it's still expensive. 00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:46.720 My largest single annual expense 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.440 is my health insurance. And I don't mean 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.120 by a little bit, I mean by a 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:54.160 factor of three. And I'm not talking 00:09:54.160 --> 00:09:57.280 globe-plated platinum coverage, I'm talking middle of the 00:09:57.280 --> 00:10:00.400 road, you know, uh serious injury type coverage. 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.600 Yeah, a factor of three. So much for 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.040 things getting better. So, what is driving 00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:09.920 this increase in pressures 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:13.680 and costs? Well, there are more advanced 00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:16.080 diagnostic tools and medical treatments, and they cost 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.200 money. New therapies, uh, especially for cancer and 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.480 rare diseases, um, they often 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.640 cost a lot of money. And of course, 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:26.320 when you have the federal government saying you 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:28.960 must cover these things, well, there's a cost 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:30.640 of that. No, you don't get to decide 00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:32.720 whether or not that's a coverage, that's something 00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:34.880 you want covered or not. The government tells 00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:37.360 you you must have that covered. Now, I've 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:39.120 been on the receiving end of my wife, 00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:41.520 has a has a medical condition. She takes 00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:43.920 a couple of exotic drugs. And I remember 00:10:43.920 --> 00:10:46.000 when we first the the first time they 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.080 prescribed one of these drugs, I tried to 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:50.960 find out what the drug cost. Nobody knew 00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:53.920 what the drug cost. Not the doctor, not 00:10:53.920 --> 00:10:57.200 the pharmacy, not the billing person. They had 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:58.720 to go research to find out what this 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.480 drug actually cost. They could tell me what 00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:02.880 I would have to pay with my insurance, 00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:04.800 but they couldn't tell me what it cost. 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.320 Now that I have different insurance coverage, that 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:09.760 becomes a very important thing. And it was 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:12.720 expensive. It was eye-wateringly expensive. 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.880 And of course, it's driven a lot of 00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:17.920 people to look for alternatives. For example, uh, 00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:20.480 if you don't want uh uh the the 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.720 a traditional healthcare, you know, go to the 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.880 doctor, have it covered. There are what's called, 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:28.400 I think they're called concierge physicians. You pay 00:11:28.400 --> 00:11:30.880 generally a monthly fee or maybe an annual 00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:33.600 fee, and everything they do in the doctor's 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.080 office is covered, right? As many trips as 00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:38.320 you make to the office, whatever tests and 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.400 things they do in the office is covered 00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.160 as a subscription. You know, you get prescriptions 00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:46.560 for movies, your subscriptions for movies. I have 00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:49.520 subscription for coffee. Get a subscription for your 00:11:49.520 --> 00:11:52.720 medical care, and it's less expensive. Why? Because 00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.960 these doctors' offices don't have the headache and 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.000 cost of dealing with insurance. They don't they 00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:59.840 don't have to hire a person just to 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.560 deal with their insurance stuff. Me, 00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:03.360 um, 00:12:04.400 --> 00:12:06.320 my wife was on a uh one of 00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.640 her drugs, very expensive. It was it was 00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:11.360 eight hundred dollars a month for this one 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.120 drug, and uh we were trying to figure 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:14.320 out how we're gonna pay for that. That's 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:16.160 a lot of money, especially now that you 00:12:16.160 --> 00:12:17.920 know I don't have the big corporate jar 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.320 job with a six-finger income. What do we 00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.760 do now? We found a pharmacy that 00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:25.840 doesn't go through all the nonsense of the 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.800 other pharmacies. That $800 a month drug I 00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:31.840 was buying through the pharmacy, the regular pharmacy, 00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:35.200 I buy through them for about $25 a 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.640 month. Yes, that's that much different. There's 00:12:38.640 --> 00:12:41.280 something broken in the system, and I believe 00:12:41.280 --> 00:12:43.200 a lot of what we're gonna find comes 00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.000 down to federal regulations and 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:46.880 federal 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.960 agency collusion with 00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:53.760 pharmacies and and the the drug 00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:56.960 manufacturers. Oh, and back to the Affordable Care 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:58.400 Act. You know what I found most interesting 00:12:58.400 --> 00:13:01.600 in the Affordable Care Act? Members of Congress 00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:04.400 exempted themselves from the Affordable Care Act. 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.480 That's when you know that's a let them 00:13:06.640 --> 00:13:09.120 eat cake moment. This is what you're gonna 00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.200 have. We're going to exempt ourselves. We don't 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.600 have to follow the rules, but we expect 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.680 you to follow the rules. That, ladies and 00:13:15.680 --> 00:13:18.480 gentlemen, again, let them eat cake. 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:21.440 A complete disregard for the impact of the 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.600 legislation they're passing, not just the fact that 00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:26.400 it's illegal, that's unconstitutional, that it violates your 00:13:26.400 --> 00:13:28.800 oath of office. We don't care about the 00:13:28.800 --> 00:13:31.440 impact. We're going to exempt ourselves because we 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.400 know this is gonna suck. But you, you 00:13:34.400 --> 00:13:37.120 have to follow it. And that's what the 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:40.560 American government has become. And I say the 00:13:40.560 --> 00:13:42.400 American because I'm talking about all the governments. 00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:45.840 I'm talking about federal, state, local. Very often, 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.080 their regulations that they claim are there to 00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:51.120 make your life better, if they exempt themselves 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.160 from it, they know it's gonna suck. They 00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:56.080 know it's a bad deal. That's why they're 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:59.200 exempting themselves. That's why every time I hear 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:01.920 something, these unfunded mandates, all this stuff, let 00:14:01.920 --> 00:14:05.200 them eat cake. Do it. We will tell 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.720 you what to do, but you gotta figure 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.200 it out because we're not going to suffer 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.240 the same consequences that we impose on you. 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:15.520 I suppose that members of Congress should be 00:14:15.520 --> 00:14:18.000 thankful that this is not uh 18th century 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.560 France, where they had a very 00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.600 final way of dealing with their 00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:27.040 aristocracy. Now, if we're talking about 00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:29.360 medical care and your health, well, one of 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.880 the things that's important to a good night's 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.640 uh to your health is a good night's 00:14:32.640 --> 00:14:35.360 sleep. Now, thankfully, I generally sleep pretty well. 00:14:35.520 --> 00:14:37.440 I don't usually have a problem falling asleep. 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:40.480 Occasionally, though, I do, especially when I travel. 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.040 Now, I could reach for things like melatonin, 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.680 these the hormone that helps you sleep. And 00:14:45.680 --> 00:14:48.400 it it works, but it can actually disrupt 00:14:48.400 --> 00:14:51.280 your sleep wake cycle. It can actually disrupt 00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:54.560 your hormone cycle. Uh, so it can cause 00:14:54.560 --> 00:14:57.760 problems. Similarly, with pharmaceuticals, right? You can 00:14:57.760 --> 00:15:00.080 become dependent on them to help you sleep, 00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.200 which has its own problems. No, when I 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.120 need help falling asleep, whether I'm at home 00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.600 or on the road, I reach for restful 00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.160 sleep from the wellness company. It uses natural 00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:12.640 ingredients to calm the mind and reduce stress 00:15:12.640 --> 00:15:14.800 for a better, more restful night's sleep without 00:15:14.800 --> 00:15:17.920 hormones and without pharmaceuticals. I'm not a 00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:20.400 doctor, I don't play one on TV, but 00:15:20.400 --> 00:15:22.480 it's backed by documented research. So when I 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.760 see uh things like chamomile and valerian 00:15:25.760 --> 00:15:28.320 root, things have been used for generations to 00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:31.120 help people relax and fall asleep, it makes 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.360 sense to me. It's also been vetted by 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:35.200 the chief medical board of the wellness company, 00:15:35.280 --> 00:15:36.480 and I know some of the people on 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.160 that board, and I kind of trust what 00:15:38.160 --> 00:15:40.000 they have to say.

You know, 00:16:23.760 --> 00:16:25.200 there's a saying that if you don't have 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.440 your health, you don't really have anything. And 00:16:27.440 --> 00:16:29.040 it's important. I mean, I know people who 00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:31.440 are sick and it literally dominates their lives. 00:16:31.680 --> 00:16:33.280 So when it comes to your own health, 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:34.880 don't let the government tell you to let 00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:37.920 you eat cake. Make decisions for yourself, whether 00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:39.840 it's for things to help you fall asleep, 00:16:40.160 --> 00:16:42.160 for what you do to live a healthy 00:16:42.160 --> 00:16:45.280 lifestyle, or what treatments and medications, even how 00:16:45.280 --> 00:16:47.040 you're going to pay for all that. Don't 00:16:47.040 --> 00:16:50.080 let the government uh sell you a sell 00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.800 you a plug nickel. Don't let them sit 00:16:52.800 --> 00:16:55.040 there and say, let them eat cake. Make 00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:58.000 decisions for yourself. Whether it's uh uh the 00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.240 restful sleep or whatever products you look for. 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.080 Let's make sure that you are in charge 00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:04.880 of your health, that you are overseeing your 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.280 health care, and that you are making the 00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:09.920 best decisions for you, not what makes some 00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:12.080 politician or bureaucrat happy. 00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:22.160 I'm Dr. Kelly Victory with the Wellness Company, 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:25.040 and I know this personally. I exercised, ate 00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:27.200 a healthy diet, and had no symptoms when 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:29.920 a routine mammogram resulted in a cancer 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.280 diagnosis. It revealed a hard truth. Even healthy 00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:35.520 people can get cancer, and much of modern 00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:38.720 medicine is reactive, not preventative. So I 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.360 began asking a different question. What can we 00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:44.000 do daily to support the body before something 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.560 goes wrong? That question led me to formulate 00:17:46.560 --> 00:17:49.920 SHIELD. SHIELD is a two-part nutraceutical system 00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:53.360 designed to support immune balance, antioxidant defense, 00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:56.640 and cellular health, a chemical-free cocoa mix and 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.760 soft gels containing medicinal mushrooms, turmeric, 00:17:59.840 --> 00:18:03.040 green tea extract, olive leaf, berberine, and black 00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:05.680 seed oil.

Yes, 00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:19.840 we have to purify our water, but what 00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:21.840 are we doing to fix the water structure 00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:24.400 so the body can actually absorb it? That 00:18:24.400 --> 00:18:26.720 is why we created our lab certified structured 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.160 water devices. These devices restore water molecules back 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:32.720 to their natural structure, just like a mountain 00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.000 stream, making them highly absorbable. It's not how 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.400 much water you drink, it's how much water 00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:41.840 you absorb that counts.

Most energy bars are based 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:17.840 on chocolate or fruit or held together with 00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:20.560 syrups or sweeteners.

Remove it, not to use a 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:47.520 iPhone. 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:27.120 Today we're talking Let Them Eat Cake, these 00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:29.760 examples of government actors that are more than 00:20:29.760 --> 00:20:32.960 willing to put in effect laws and rules 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:35.680 and policies with little consideration of the impact 00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.160 it actually has on the everyday American. Now, 00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:41.520 I saw a brief story about a debate 00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:42.160 that's going on. 00:20:43.280 --> 00:20:46.320 The Trump administration wants to uh 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:50.080 nullify a candidate for a green card 00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:52.560 if they are on public assistance. Meaning, if 00:20:52.560 --> 00:20:53.680 you're on a federal uh 00:20:54.560 --> 00:20:58.000 federal assistance program, welfare, Medicare, I'm sorry, 00:20:58.080 --> 00:21:00.880 Medicaid, uh, things like uh food stamps, then 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:02.480 you are not eligible to get a green 00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.120 card. Now that's currently being debated and argued, 00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:08.240 and and as that argument develops, we'll talk 00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:09.760 more about it here. But it got me 00:21:09.760 --> 00:21:12.720 thinking about this idea of what 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.560 happens when we um 00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.000 when we don't enforce our our immigration. Of 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:20.000 course, I have the whole issue about immigration 00:21:20.320 --> 00:21:23.680 and um the fact that immigration is not 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.600 a power delegated to the United States by 00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:28.080 the Constitution, it doesn't exist. Look at the 00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:30.960 word, the word immigration doesn't exist. Now, 00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:33.680 Congress can set rules for naturalization and those 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:36.000 becoming a citizen, but it says nothing about 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:38.320 immigration, which means the 10th Amendment stands, which 00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:40.400 says a power not delegated to the United 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.320 States nor prohibited by it to the states 00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.960 are reserved to the states respectively, or the 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.000 people. So since it's not uh delegated to 00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.680 the United States and it's not prohibited to 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:53.120 the states, technically, immigration is a state 00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:55.680 policy, not a federal one. That hasn't stopped 00:21:55.760 --> 00:21:58.720 Congress from passing laws and the executive from 00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:02.240 sometimes enforcing them, sometimes not, which means we 00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:03.520 end up with a lot of people in 00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:06.560 this country that are here illegally. They broke 00:22:06.560 --> 00:22:08.000 the law to enter the country. I know 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.840 you can't call them, I'm not saying they 00:22:09.840 --> 00:22:12.480 are illegal aliens. They enter the country illegally, 00:22:12.560 --> 00:22:14.560 they broke the law to get here. Now, 00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:16.560 there's of course, you start talking about the 00:22:16.560 --> 00:22:19.760 Marxists and socialists and whatnot, they seem to 00:22:19.760 --> 00:22:22.560 love illegal immigration. They love illegal immigration, they 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.960 love these people that are basically they're little 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:26.880 more than slave labor. But this 00:22:27.760 --> 00:22:30.160 I'm looking at this from my old, old 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:31.840 hold the time, the city of my birth, 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.720 New York City. Socialist and mayor is on 00:22:34.800 --> 00:22:38.240 Mandami. Now, he signed an executive order earlier 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.520 this year that restricts non-city personnel from 00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:44.320 using city lots for enforcement operations. 00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.160 Now, to understand this, uh the not 00:22:48.560 --> 00:22:50.000 it was an existing 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:53.680 administrative code. I think that means that that's 00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.320 something passed by the the the city council. 00:22:56.560 --> 00:22:58.480 If you are in a non-public area of 00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.360 public schools and homeless shelters, then 00:23:02.800 --> 00:23:05.360 people like ICE and the FBI could not 00:23:05.360 --> 00:23:08.240 enforce immigration laws there. What I understand Mr. 00:23:08.320 --> 00:23:10.800 Mondami's executive order does is expand that to 00:23:10.800 --> 00:23:14.000 public hospitals. And uh and so 00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:16.560 if you are a if you're an illegal 00:23:16.560 --> 00:23:19.920 immigrant and uh uh you're concerned 00:23:19.920 --> 00:23:21.840 about being caught by ICE, there's a raid, 00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.200 all you'd have to do is head to 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.720 a public school or a public hospital. If 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:27.040 you can get into the non-public areas, under 00:23:27.040 --> 00:23:29.600 this administrative code, you're not allowed to uh 00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:32.480 uh agencies like ICE are not allowed to 00:23:32.480 --> 00:23:35.760 come in after you. Now, this 00:23:35.760 --> 00:23:38.480 is part and parcel for this quote unquote 00:23:38.560 --> 00:23:41.680 uh sanctuary city policy that uh not only 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.080 does New York City have, but Mirmandami is 00:23:44.080 --> 00:23:46.880 really promoted. The idea that if you break 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.120 the law to enter this country, we're gonna 00:23:49.120 --> 00:23:50.000 protect you. 00:23:51.520 --> 00:23:54.480 That means that the citizens of New York 00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.680 City are paying for these services, these 00:23:57.680 --> 00:24:00.800 areas, and now they're become sanctuary areas. 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:03.840 Now, again, I have I have concerns about 00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:07.280 how ICE has enforced or enacted their 00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:10.400 their mandates, uh, the the rules they were 00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.360 given to the to do that they have 00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:15.600 in some cases, I believe, violated the Fourth 00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:18.080 Amendment and the Fifth Amendment, and how they 00:24:18.080 --> 00:24:20.640 have gone about their raids and gone about 00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:23.360 their things. And again, I still have the 00:24:23.360 --> 00:24:26.160 problem with a federal law that's not authorized 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:27.520 by the Constitution. 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:38.880 And we're going to find places where you 00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:41.600 can have sanctuary, you can have shelter. 00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.640 At the same time, uh 00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.160 Letitia James, who's the attorney general of the 00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:50.480 state of New York, she established an office 00:24:50.560 --> 00:24:54.000 of immigrant trust within her agency. This was 00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:55.920 back in actually in July. 00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.080 And she's issued formal administrative 00:25:00.320 --> 00:25:03.280 demands to a dozen local law enforcement agencies 00:25:03.280 --> 00:25:06.400 to terminate their agreements with immigrations and 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:09.680 customs enforcement. Uh, I'm sorry, the Office of 00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:11.280 New York, uh the attorney general, I don't 00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:13.840 believe it has the authority to demand a 00:25:13.840 --> 00:25:16.720 local agency actually have an agreement or not 00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:18.880 have an agreement with a federal agency. Now, 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:21.520 whether or not those agreements are good, that's 00:25:21.520 --> 00:25:23.680 up to the agent to the law enforcement 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:25.440 agency that is not up to the attorney 00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:27.280 general. You can tell you can tell the 00:25:27.280 --> 00:25:29.600 state police not to do it. You cannot 00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:33.040 tell tell local law enforcement agencies 00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:35.680 who they can and cannot associate with. And 00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:38.960 this has fallen on some pretty deaf ears 00:25:39.040 --> 00:25:42.240 in with several of the sheriffs. However, 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.920 only one county apparently has not 00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.280 responded to and said they were gonna do 00:25:49.520 --> 00:25:52.160 uh they're gonna terminate their relationship with ICE. 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:54.800 Rensselaer County. Now, of course, that caught my 00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:57.200 attention because I lived in Rensselaer County for 00:25:57.200 --> 00:25:58.720 a short period of time. I lived neighboring 00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.200 Rensselaer County where I lived. I was right 00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:02.880 near I for a while I lived inside 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:04.800 of Rensselaer County for a few years, but 00:26:04.800 --> 00:26:07.120 I lived next door to Rensselaer County. I 00:26:07.120 --> 00:26:09.360 know exactly where they are, I know these 00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:12.480 places. Now, the the Attorney 00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.880 General's office has issued a subpoena and has 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:17.920 sued apparently Rensselaer County because they 00:26:17.920 --> 00:26:21.120 refused to kowtow to the the Attorney 00:26:21.120 --> 00:26:23.760 General's office, demanding how they who they can 00:26:23.760 --> 00:26:27.120 and cannot associate with. This has gotten the 00:26:27.120 --> 00:26:30.560 attention of Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne 00:26:30.560 --> 00:26:33.840 Mullen after uh federal agents 00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:37.120 arrested more than 2,100 illegal immigrants across 00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:39.920 New York State during a month-long suite called 00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:43.040 Operation Rotten Apple. Do they pay people to 00:26:43.040 --> 00:26:44.560 come up with these names? I think maybe 00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:46.880 they do. But I look at this and 00:26:46.880 --> 00:26:48.800 I say, well, why is it the socialists 00:26:48.800 --> 00:26:51.760 and the Marxists are siding with the criminal 00:26:51.760 --> 00:26:55.120 as opposed to the citizen, the average citizen 00:26:55.120 --> 00:26:58.480 of the city and state they supposedly represent? 00:26:58.800 --> 00:27:01.120 Well, Paul, they're not criminals. Well, yeah, they 00:27:01.120 --> 00:27:03.280 are. If you enter this country illegal, that 00:27:03.360 --> 00:27:06.480 the first time it's a misdemeanor. Every subsequent 00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.040 time after that, it's a felony. These are 00:27:09.040 --> 00:27:12.240 federal crimes. It is a federal crime to 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.360 enter this country without following the rules. Yet 00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.600 they talk often about, oh, the poor immigrant, 00:27:17.760 --> 00:27:20.720 the poor immigrant, what about the poor 00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.680 citizen or legal resident or the person? Just 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.840 take the people that have gone through the 00:27:25.840 --> 00:27:29.200 process, that have spent years becoming 00:27:29.520 --> 00:27:32.240 being eligible to stay here, maybe getting a 00:27:32.240 --> 00:27:35.200 green card, maybe eventually becoming a citizen. They 00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:37.280 followed the rules. They took the time, they 00:27:37.280 --> 00:27:39.440 spent the money to follow the rules, only 00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.920 to find out that not only have people 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:44.320 broken the law and gotten in, but now 00:27:44.320 --> 00:27:47.200 they're those are the ones being protected by 00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.280 the city and state of New York, as 00:27:49.280 --> 00:27:51.120 opposed to the people who came in here 00:27:51.120 --> 00:27:54.400 following the law. What does that say? It 00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.040 says, let them eat cake. If you were 00:27:57.040 --> 00:27:59.680 dumb enough to actually follow the rules, that's 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.320 your problem. Isn't that effectively what the city 00:28:02.320 --> 00:28:03.680 and state of New York is saying? 00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:07.200 Now I will admit that probably the vast 00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.600 majority of people who are here, legal legally 00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:12.160 or illegally, they're just trying to live their 00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:14.720 lives. I'm not saying that every illegal immigrant 00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:16.800 is a criminal mastermind or part of a 00:28:16.800 --> 00:28:19.840 cartel, but there are some. And if we 00:28:19.840 --> 00:28:21.600 don't vet, that's one of the reasons why 00:28:21.600 --> 00:28:23.200 we want to vet people coming in this 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.760 country so that we can filter out the 00:28:25.760 --> 00:28:28.960 bad actors, right? I mean, anybody who flies, 00:28:29.120 --> 00:28:31.280 I took a flight just this past week, 00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:33.440 and I had to go through a screening 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.320 process because not because that the vast majority 00:28:36.320 --> 00:28:38.400 of people that that go through this porno 00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:40.080 scanner, as I like to call it, are 00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:43.280 actually criminals, but it's there to screen out 00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:46.080 those who are actually criminals. 00:28:49.440 --> 00:28:51.120 Now, whether or not it's effective, that's a 00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:53.440 whole nother state. But the reason we want 00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:55.040 to screen people coming in this country is 00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:56.560 they're trying to avoid bad act. Now we're 00:28:56.560 --> 00:28:57.680 not going to get rid of all of 00:28:57.680 --> 00:28:59.360 them, but we want to find as many 00:28:59.360 --> 00:29:02.240 as we can. Like this lady, uh uh 00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:05.520 Jin D, also known as Sophie Sophie 00:29:05.520 --> 00:29:08.560 Jin. She is a Chinese citizen 00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:11.920 who was stopped at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:14.640 and charged with acting as a as an 00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.280 agent of a foreign government without notifying the 00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:20.480 U.S. Attorney General. Now, according to the 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:23.200 affidavit that was attached to the complaint, um 00:29:23.520 --> 00:29:26.960 uh Jin arrived uh at the airport uh 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.000 on uh uh on September 8th and said 00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.680 she was in the country to visit an 00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:35.120 80-year one year old friend in Washington. 00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:38.960 Well, during a secondary inspection, customs 00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:41.120 agents found a business card identifying the friend 00:29:41.120 --> 00:29:43.680 as a U.S. government official. Now, the official 00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.880 has not been identified. Uh, when they contacted 00:29:46.880 --> 00:29:49.200 them by phone, the official told Customs Agent 00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:52.320 he was unaware of Jin's travel and 00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:54.640 believed that she might be an informer for 00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:55.360 Beijing. 00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:59.520 Yeah. That's why we have 00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.880 borders. That's why we have ports of entry, 00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:04.880 and that's why we go through a screening 00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.320 process. Now, she's been charged, she hasn't 00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:11.040 been found guilty. Um, she has been in 00:30:11.040 --> 00:30:14.240 this country several times. Um, and you know, 00:30:14.560 --> 00:30:16.960 there's currently an investigation, right? In this, even 00:30:17.120 --> 00:30:19.760 this country, even for foreigners, you're innocent until 00:30:19.760 --> 00:30:22.560 proven guilty. But this goes to show why 00:30:22.560 --> 00:30:24.720 we have borders, why we have checkpoints, and 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:27.680 why, when we simply ignore those laws, even 00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.600 if a majority of the people do no 00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:31.600 damage once they're in this country, commit no 00:30:31.600 --> 00:30:33.600 crime once they're in this country. We're trying 00:30:33.600 --> 00:30:37.040 to filter out those who do violate 00:30:37.040 --> 00:30:40.320 the law. And if you if we set 00:30:40.320 --> 00:30:41.920 rules for entering this country and you simply 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:43.840 ignore them, that's a criminal act. Now, if 00:30:43.840 --> 00:30:45.600 you don't like the rules we set up, 00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:48.400 work to change the rules. Don't simply ignore 00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:49.840 the rules because you didn't get what you 00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:51.920 want. That seems to be the way a 00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:54.400 lot of these socialist Marxists, uh, that's the 00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.880 way they like to live their lives. And 00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.040 if you live in Florida, I have a 00:30:59.040 --> 00:31:02.400 let them eat cake moment for you. Uh 00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:06.160 the Democratic Party has nominated Angie Nixon 00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:09.360 for the U.S. Senate seat for Florida. Uh, 00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:12.880 she's an avowed Democratic Socialist. And according 00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:16.080 to financial disclosure forms, she brought in uh 00:31:16.080 --> 00:31:19.360 roughly $270,000 last year from her 00:31:19.360 --> 00:31:22.640 jobs and investment. Uh, that is in 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.360 addition to her husband's income, which was not 00:31:25.360 --> 00:31:28.400 published. Um, and she's complaining 00:31:28.640 --> 00:31:30.560 about having to pay taxes. 00:31:31.760 --> 00:31:33.760 And in fact, she said during a podcast 00:31:33.760 --> 00:31:35.920 interview, your girl over here is on a 00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:39.120 payment plan to pay the IRS $12,000 back. 00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:41.760 And listen, I ain't made no $105 billion, 00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:44.320 but you're making me pay $12,000 to the 00:31:44.320 --> 00:31:47.120 feds. Like, really? That's what we're doing. 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:49.680 And they already took some of the taxes 00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.640 away anyway. I paid over $10,000. It's just 00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:56.080 crazy. So here she is, a democratic socialist 00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:57.840 who keeps telling that the people need to 00:31:57.840 --> 00:31:59.520 pay their fair share. You got to keep 00:31:59.520 --> 00:32:02.400 raising that to pay their fair share, who's 00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:05.600 complaining about paying eight percent. 00:32:05.760 --> 00:32:07.360 I did the math. If she if she's 00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:10.560 already paid $10,000 and she's paying off $12,000, 00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.360 that's $22,000, out of $270,000. 00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:16.320 That's assuming it's it's all for one year, 00:32:16.560 --> 00:32:17.120 then um 00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:20.400 that's only eight just over eight percent income 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.520 tax rate. How many Americans are paying eight 00:32:23.600 --> 00:32:26.320 per only eight percent? And again, two hundred 00:32:26.320 --> 00:32:28.480 and seventy thousand dollars, she's rich. 00:32:29.520 --> 00:32:32.960 Her income is roughly five times the 00:32:33.040 --> 00:32:36.320 the national average. And she's complaining about 00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:39.040 paying taxes on that at eight percent. Oh, 00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:41.600 by the way, uh, she also own owes 00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:44.880 uh over $17,000 in unpaid federal student loans. 00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:47.520 I guess she's complaining about paying that too. 00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:51.520 See, the the again, it let them eat 00:32:51.520 --> 00:32:54.160 cake. Sure, we want to raise everybody else. 00:32:54.560 --> 00:32:56.080 You're asking me to pay this, and again, 00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.800 she's on a payment plan. It's not like 00:32:58.800 --> 00:33:00.720 the IRS came and took $12,000 out of 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.080 her checking account. She's on a payment plan. 00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.480 You know, I I I had a scenario 00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:08.960 where I owed the IRS money one year 00:33:09.280 --> 00:33:12.240 and I paid them in installments, and 00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.520 that's how it works. But to have 00:33:15.520 --> 00:33:18.800 somebody who is, again, democratic socialists, they're all 00:33:18.800 --> 00:33:21.120 about raising your taxes. Tax the rich, tax 00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:24.160 your rich. She's rich. If you're making 270 00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:25.840 grand a year plus what her husband makes, 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:29.040 right? So there's probably more, then she's paying 00:33:29.040 --> 00:33:31.120 just over eight percent in taxes, if those 00:33:31.120 --> 00:33:32.240 numbers are correct. 00:33:33.520 --> 00:33:35.280 Uh, I thought she should be paying her 00:33:35.280 --> 00:33:37.280 fair share. She'd be she'd be paying like 00:33:37.280 --> 00:33:40.160 30%, not eight percent. 00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:43.920 Let them eat cake. And when I see 00:33:43.920 --> 00:33:45.680 that, that's why I know. That's why I 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:47.200 look at I I don't pay attention to 00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:49.360 what people say, I pay attention to what 00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:52.640 people do. And what Ms. Angie Nixon 00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.200 apparently is doing is griping about paying taxes, 00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:56.960 just like all of us. 00:33:58.160 --> 00:34:01.040 I'm waiting, I'm waiting 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:03.200 for the first time 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.480 that she says everyone should pay their fair 00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:08.080 share. Why didn't you want to pay your 00:34:08.080 --> 00:34:10.720 fair share, Ms. Nixon? Do you think anybody 00:34:10.720 --> 00:34:11.680 will point that out? 00:34:12.560 --> 00:34:14.320 Oh, by the way, she's also claimed that 00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.960 she wants to institute a 5% annual wealth 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:20.160 tax on billionaires. But she thinks it's 00:34:20.160 --> 00:34:22.720 crazy that she actually has to pay what 00:34:22.720 --> 00:34:24.800 I believe would most of the Democratic soldiers 00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:27.680 would say less than her fair share in 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:29.200 federal income taxes. 00:34:30.080 --> 00:34:31.360 Let them eat cake. 00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:35.280 No, you don't make 105 billion, you make 00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:38.560 $270,000 last year. That's more I don't 00:34:38.720 --> 00:34:40.320 I never made that type of money when 00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:42.320 I was doing good in my career. I 00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:44.480 never made, I didn't make half that money. 00:34:45.200 --> 00:34:48.000 And she's complaining about having to pay taxes 00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.160 at eight percent. Now maybe she's got more 00:34:50.160 --> 00:34:52.320 taxes, maybe that wasn't all reported, I don't 00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:54.800 know. But yes, oh we I have to 00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.160 pay taxes. I'm the special people. Don't 00:34:58.160 --> 00:35:00.400 you know that? I'm the rich, I'm the 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.320 elite. I get to I I don't I 00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:05.200 shouldn't have to pay taxes, I'm special, and 00:35:05.200 --> 00:35:08.240 that is exactly how every socialist government in 00:35:08.240 --> 00:35:11.040 the history of the world has ever worked. 00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:13.760 You get to pay the taxes, you get 00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.000 to do the hard work, and then the 00:35:16.000 --> 00:35:19.200 special people, they get all the benefits. They 00:35:19.200 --> 00:35:21.120 get to claim, they they get the exemptions 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.480 from taxes, they get all the goodies. Hmm. 00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:28.240 Let them eat cake. Okay, I have 00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:30.000 another break coming up before I go, though. 00:35:30.080 --> 00:35:31.680 You know, the constitution study, we don't make 00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:34.080 that type of money, right? Um, we don't 00:35:34.080 --> 00:35:35.360 make a lot of money here at all. 00:35:35.600 --> 00:35:37.200 Which means if you can support the work 00:35:37.200 --> 00:35:39.840 that we're doing here, it'd be greatly appreciated. 00:35:40.080 --> 00:35:41.920 Now, one way is to go to our 00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.200 store.

We put our own 00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:05.200 money in to keep this up and running. 00:36:05.440 --> 00:36:08.000 That includes a radio program, that includes the 00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:11.040 the the website, the articles, the videos, all 00:36:11.040 --> 00:36:13.120 the it also includes the teaching events that 00:36:13.120 --> 00:36:15.040 I do.

But it costs money to go to 00:36:25.120 --> 00:36:27.280 these events, right? I've got travel and living 00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:29.760 expenses. Um, I'm either I'm dry, I'm buying 00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.480 gasoline, which is really expensive now, or I'm 00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:35.280 flying. I've got a hotel room, I've got 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:36.960 to eat, I've got, you know, all these 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.360 things that I gotta do, it's expensive. So 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:41.600 if you can help, if you can come 00:36:41.600 --> 00:36:44.640 alongside and help by going to constitutionstudy.com slash 00:36:44.640 --> 00:36:47.120 shop, I would greatly appreciate it.

Well, we live in the information age, 00:37:47.600 --> 00:37:50.160 right? Information's at our fingertips. The corporate media 00:37:50.160 --> 00:37:51.760 has been lying to us for decades, they've 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:54.480 been caught. What do you do? You have 00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:56.240 to find places that you can both trust 00:37:56.240 --> 00:37:58.400 and verify to make sure that the information 00:37:58.400 --> 00:38:00.720 you're getting is right.

And today, we're going to be talking 00:41:02.560 --> 00:41:04.240 about Let them Eat Cake, the uh the 00:41:04.240 --> 00:41:06.720 way the government, though so many in government, 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.440 they don't care about the impact their regulations 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:12.960 have on the American people. And sometimes, 00:41:13.120 --> 00:41:15.600 every so often, people will roll back some 00:41:15.600 --> 00:41:18.160 of these ridiculous regulations. Now, I am no 00:41:18.160 --> 00:41:20.640 fan of the Environmental Protection Agency. I've said 00:41:20.640 --> 00:41:22.720 it before, I'll say it again. There's nothing 00:41:22.720 --> 00:41:25.440 in the Constitution that authorizes the federal government 00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:28.240 to protect the environment. That is not a 00:41:28.240 --> 00:41:30.640 power delegated to the United States. That for 00:41:30.640 --> 00:41:33.920 that agency, the legislation that created the EPA 00:41:33.920 --> 00:41:36.400 was not made pursuant to the Constitution. It 00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:38.560 is not the Supreme Law of the Land. 00:41:38.720 --> 00:41:41.440 It is actually null and void, which means 00:41:41.440 --> 00:41:43.760 the EPA not only doesn't legally exist and 00:41:43.760 --> 00:41:46.080 can't create regulations, but all the money spent 00:41:46.080 --> 00:41:47.760 on it is embezzled for the American people. 00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:49.440 I just wish people would read the Constitution 00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:51.760 and understand that. However, 00:41:52.080 --> 00:41:54.720 sometimes they do the right thing. 00:42:35.840 --> 00:42:38.320 Back in April of 24, the Biden EPA 00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:41.680 put up rules to require uh certain 00:42:41.680 --> 00:42:44.800 coal plants to reduce their emissions by 90% 00:42:45.120 --> 00:42:48.160 by 2032, which basically moved them from coal 00:42:48.160 --> 00:42:50.240 towards things like natural gas to get their 00:42:50.240 --> 00:42:53.280 emissions down. Now, Zabbo noted that the Clean 00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:55.440 Air Act of 1970 gave the EPA the 00:42:55.440 --> 00:42:58.080 authority to set emission standards when there is 00:42:58.080 --> 00:43:01.040 adequate evidence and technology to support them. 00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:04.800 He said the Biden's EPA never bothered proving 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:05.520 that there was that 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.840 the carbon capture technology was adequately 00:43:09.840 --> 00:43:12.880 demonstrated. He also false the Biden 00:43:13.040 --> 00:43:15.440 EPA for ignoring a Supreme Court decision in 00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:18.800 West Virginia versus EPA from back in 2022, 00:43:19.040 --> 00:43:21.760 where the court decided 6-3 that the EPA 00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:24.240 does not have the authority to broadly restructure 00:43:24.240 --> 00:43:26.800 America's energy sector by forcing power plants to 00:43:26.800 --> 00:43:30.000 shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy. He 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:32.080 also noted that even if we eliminate all 00:43:32.080 --> 00:43:35.200 greenhouse gas emissions from power plants tomorrow, there'd 00:43:35.200 --> 00:43:38.240 be no meaningful impact on global climate change. 00:43:38.560 --> 00:43:40.480 So here you had the EPA, and again, 00:43:40.560 --> 00:43:42.000 they would just let the meat cake. We 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:45.360 don't care. We're we're we're we are devotees 00:43:45.360 --> 00:43:47.680 of the religion of climate change, and we 00:43:47.680 --> 00:43:49.520 have to stop all this, regardless of the 00:43:49.520 --> 00:43:52.320 impact. What's the impact? Well, it's less 00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:55.520 electricity generation, which means you know, a lot 00:43:55.520 --> 00:43:57.280 of talk about AI data centers. What about 00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:58.880 the data center that your cell phone uses? 00:43:59.040 --> 00:44:01.200 You got a smartphone, you got an iPhone, 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:04.320 an Android? Guess what? It uses data centers. 00:44:04.640 --> 00:44:06.560 Oh, by the way, that that that smart 00:44:06.560 --> 00:44:09.280 TV you have, all those things, they depend 00:44:09.280 --> 00:44:11.360 on power. But I saw this and I 00:44:11.360 --> 00:44:13.040 haven't been able to prove the numbers. So 00:44:13.200 --> 00:44:15.680 take this with a grain of salt. But 00:44:15.680 --> 00:44:18.720 according to uh one person I heard 00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:19.200 uh 00:44:20.080 --> 00:44:22.240 in China, I forget, they're building like a 00:44:22.240 --> 00:44:24.720 new power, a new coal-fired power plant every 00:44:24.720 --> 00:44:28.160 month. And in China, electricity 00:44:28.160 --> 00:44:31.040 is roughly four cents a kilowatt. Why is 00:44:31.040 --> 00:44:34.000 that important? Because China is 00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:36.640 burning coal to get electricity at four cents 00:44:36.640 --> 00:44:39.440 a kilowatt to build solar panels that they 00:44:39.440 --> 00:44:41.840 then sell to Americans to get power at 00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:44.560 12 cents a kilowatt. Now, don't get me 00:44:44.880 --> 00:44:47.040 wrong. I I I like clean air too, 00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:50.000 right? And I I b agree that these 00:44:50.160 --> 00:44:53.280 these power plants need to limit the the 00:44:53.280 --> 00:44:55.760 pollutants they put into the air, but carbon 00:44:55.760 --> 00:44:58.960 dioxide is not a pollutant, carbon 00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.360 dioxide is plant food. 00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:05.600 Basic middle school biology. We learned 00:45:05.600 --> 00:45:08.960 that plants use photosynthesis to turn carbon 00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:12.000 dioxide into energy and oxygen. 00:45:12.240 --> 00:45:15.280 That's how uh uh plants grow. 00:45:15.520 --> 00:45:18.560 There's a reason why greenhouse gases pump in 00:45:18.560 --> 00:45:21.040 carbon dioxide, they keep the carbon dioxide level 00:45:21.040 --> 00:45:24.080 high because it helps plants grow. 00:45:24.560 --> 00:45:26.720 And there again, as he even pointed out, 00:45:26.880 --> 00:45:30.080 the impact of of uh of 00:45:30.080 --> 00:45:33.200 carbon dioxide from power generation is 00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:36.800 minimal on a global nature. And China certainly 00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:39.680 doesn't care. If they're building a new 00:45:39.680 --> 00:45:42.720 coal-fired power plant every month, they're not concerned 00:45:42.720 --> 00:45:45.120 about it, but they're getting the cheap energy. 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:47.520 Cheap energy does a lot of things, right? 00:45:47.680 --> 00:45:50.960 It lowers inflation, it lowers the 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.120 cost of uh uh to let's say a 00:45:53.120 --> 00:45:55.840 grocery store to a refrigerated uh sections of 00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.840 the grocery store, to the lights that they 00:45:57.840 --> 00:45:59.920 have to turn on. Every business, you know, 00:46:00.160 --> 00:46:02.960 it impacts you personally, it impacts the businesses 00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:05.120 you deal with because they've got electricity for 00:46:05.120 --> 00:46:08.480 lights, they've got electricity for refrigeration, um, they 00:46:08.640 --> 00:46:11.120 use electric, you use electricity for your televisions, 00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:14.080 all your phones, all these things could operate 00:46:14.080 --> 00:46:16.640 cheaper with cheaper energy. So we need to 00:46:16.640 --> 00:46:19.760 find, I think, a reasonable balance. And the 00:46:19.760 --> 00:46:21.360 idea that, you know, oh, let them eat 00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:24.000 cake. We don't care about the negative impact 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:26.880 of claiming we're gonna tell people you need 00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:28.240 to shut all this down. We don't have 00:46:28.240 --> 00:46:29.760 the legal authority, but we're gonna say it 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:33.040 anyway. They don't care. And 00:46:33.200 --> 00:46:36.080 uh they they the again, the EPA 00:46:36.400 --> 00:46:38.560 believes, they haven't proven it yet, but they 00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:40.560 believe that just the rescission, just getting rid 00:46:40.560 --> 00:46:42.480 of this greenhouse gas regulation from the Biden 00:46:42.560 --> 00:46:45.600 EPA can save the American people over $300 00:46:45.600 --> 00:46:46.160 billion. 00:46:47.040 --> 00:46:49.200 Now, again, in the grand scheme of things, 00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:51.840 how much of that is how much is 00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:54.320 that? Well, if the population of the United 00:46:54.320 --> 00:46:57.040 States is about 330 to 350 million people, 00:46:57.120 --> 00:47:00.000 that's almost a thousand dollars per person 00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:02.080 that could be saved by getting rid of 00:47:02.080 --> 00:47:04.720 these regulations. See, we talk about the regulations, 00:47:04.800 --> 00:47:06.400 they talk about the regulations gonna do, they 00:47:06.560 --> 00:47:08.240 almost never talk about what the regulations are 00:47:08.240 --> 00:47:09.040 gonna cost. 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:13.040 Let them eat cake. And here's another one. 00:47:13.120 --> 00:47:14.800 Now remember, we're not supposed to have an 00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.440 aristocracy in this country, but effectively we do. 00:47:17.680 --> 00:47:20.880 Now, people were complaining about old people in 00:47:20.880 --> 00:47:23.760 office, right? They complained about Biden when his 00:47:24.320 --> 00:47:27.040 basic mind melted, right? And everyone saw it, 00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:28.800 but no one talked about getting him out 00:47:28.800 --> 00:47:30.400 of office, right? They did everything they keep 00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:32.000 they could to problem up him off. We 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:33.840 talked about others that have been in in 00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:36.720 Congress, Nancy Pelosi and others. Well, it's not 00:47:36.720 --> 00:47:40.160 just Democrats, right? Mitch McConnell from 00:47:40.160 --> 00:47:42.960 Kentucky, I forget how long he's been in 00:47:43.040 --> 00:47:45.840 in office, but the the the man was 00:47:46.560 --> 00:47:49.360 he was looking like a vegetable. He would 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:51.360 just like lock up like a like like 00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:53.040 a robot on a bad you know 50 00:47:53.200 --> 00:47:54.720 sci-fi that would kind of lock up for 00:47:54.720 --> 00:47:56.720 a little bit before it kept working again. 00:47:57.040 --> 00:47:58.640 And then of course he had a fairly 00:47:58.640 --> 00:48:01.600 major medical incident. In fact, uh according to 00:48:01.600 --> 00:48:04.160 some reports, um, he had a cardiac arrest. 00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:06.320 I I don't wish him ill. I wish 00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:09.200 him all the best in getting in his 00:48:09.200 --> 00:48:12.160 recovery. But I have to ask the question 00:48:13.040 --> 00:48:15.360 is he gonna run for office again? And 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:17.760 if he does, will anybody in Kentucky vote 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:18.400 for him? 00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:22.480 Now his staff sent out a press release 00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.480 where they included pictures of him during his 00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:26.080 his rehabilitation, 00:48:27.120 --> 00:48:29.040 but there's still no word on whether or 00:48:29.040 --> 00:48:31.280 not he plans to return to the Senate 00:48:31.680 --> 00:48:34.800 when they uh at any time at all. 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:38.080 They just don't know. And as I said, 00:48:38.240 --> 00:48:40.960 personally, I do hope he recovers. All right, 00:48:41.040 --> 00:48:44.320 I've I've dealt with family members with serious 00:48:44.320 --> 00:48:46.880 illnesses. My my father actually had a stroke 00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:49.280 about 20 years ago, and that was difficult, 00:48:49.440 --> 00:48:50.880 and it was hard and all that. And 00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:52.480 my father, of course, my father died about 00:48:52.480 --> 00:48:54.720 a year ago uh from other things. I 00:48:54.720 --> 00:48:56.560 mean, it wasn't it wasn't the stroke, but 00:48:56.720 --> 00:48:59.280 that's hard. And I I personally I wish 00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:01.600 him all the best. I I I'll pray 00:49:01.600 --> 00:49:03.360 for him that he recovers. But I have 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:06.160 to ask the people of Kentucky 00:49:06.720 --> 00:49:08.640 is this really the man you want representing 00:49:08.640 --> 00:49:11.360 your state in the U.S. Senate? A man 00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:13.840 who uh at this point uh has has 00:49:13.840 --> 00:49:17.120 already shown evidence of of cognitive decline. I 00:49:17.120 --> 00:49:19.760 mean, it comes with age. I mean, Mitch 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:21.760 McCollins is 85. I looked at him, he's 00:49:21.840 --> 00:49:25.280 he's 84 years old. Um that was 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:26.800 the age my father was when he died. 00:49:27.200 --> 00:49:29.360 Again, I'm not saying that he's dying. 00:49:30.800 --> 00:49:33.200 But with his his evidence of cognitive decline 00:49:33.280 --> 00:49:36.720 and now his health concerns, is this the 00:49:36.720 --> 00:49:39.360 person that you want uh representing your state? 00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:42.560 Is this fair? Is this kind to continue 00:49:42.560 --> 00:49:44.720 to ask a man with health issues like 00:49:44.720 --> 00:49:47.920 this to serve in the U.S. Senate? I 00:49:47.920 --> 00:49:50.240 mean, he's already been there more than 40 00:49:50.240 --> 00:49:52.800 years. Is this really the person? I I 00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:54.720 don't care if he runs again. All right, 00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:56.320 the question is is he going to sh 00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:59.520 to show up again? If not, shouldn't he 00:49:59.520 --> 00:50:02.160 resign so that the governor can choose somebody 00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:05.120 to replace him? But the other question I 00:50:05.120 --> 00:50:06.880 have is is are are people in Kentucky 00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:09.040 going to continue to vote for him? 00:50:10.080 --> 00:50:10.720 Why? 00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:14.960 Why, why to me, isn't that being cruel? 00:50:15.680 --> 00:50:18.160 You've got a man who's again, he's older, 00:50:18.400 --> 00:50:21.440 he's got the medical conditions. Wouldn't it be 00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.880 cruel to return him to office? Or 00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:26.320 do we simply put him up there because, 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:28.880 well, he's a Republican, he's got all the 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:31.840 seniority. Let them eat cake. We don't care 00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:34.960 if we get decent representation, that's our guy. 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:38.000 I guess that let them eat cake isn't 00:50:38.000 --> 00:50:40.800 just for the the politician or the 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:43.760 pundit. I guess it may be for the 00:50:43.760 --> 00:50:46.800 American people as well. I mean, how often 00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:49.600 do people support programs? Oh, it'll it'll feed 00:50:49.600 --> 00:50:51.040 the poor. Then I don't, you know, the 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:54.080 they they use the um uh the Ebenezer 00:50:54.240 --> 00:50:57.200 Scrooge, right? My taxes pay for those programs, 00:50:57.280 --> 00:51:00.320 that should be it. Makes me wonder. 00:51:00.800 --> 00:51:03.840 What are we really doing here? Makes me 00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:06.240 wonder. Is this let this let them eat 00:51:06.240 --> 00:51:09.520 cake mentality so ingrained in the American people 00:51:09.600 --> 00:51:11.840 now? I want what I want, the rest 00:51:11.840 --> 00:51:13.200 can just go eat cake. I don't care 00:51:13.200 --> 00:51:15.600 if it harms them or not. What's the 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:18.320 old saying, Am I my brother's keeper? Again, 00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:20.880 when he when when a cane killed Abel, 00:51:21.040 --> 00:51:22.640 God asked, Hey, have you seen your brother? 00:51:22.720 --> 00:51:24.400 Hey, am I my brother's keeper? 00:51:25.360 --> 00:51:27.360 Well, maybe to a certain extent we are. 00:51:27.600 --> 00:51:30.400 Maybe not their keeper. But certainly we be 00:51:30.560 --> 00:51:32.480 shouldn't we be concerned about the impact our 00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:34.560 decisions have on others? 00:51:35.520 --> 00:51:37.920 Because remember, in this country, we are still 00:51:37.920 --> 00:51:40.960 a republic. That means the people that are 00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:44.080 making these decisions were either hired by us 00:51:44.080 --> 00:51:46.000 or were appointed by people that are hired 00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:48.880 by us, and we cannot abdicate that responsibility 00:51:48.880 --> 00:51:51.760 because our preferred candidate didn't win. We have 00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:53.920 to participate, we have to be involved in 00:51:53.920 --> 00:51:56.720 this. And to me, that's an important uh 00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.200 that's an important thing, it's an important uh 00:51:59.520 --> 00:52:02.000 process, it's an important 00:52:02.000 --> 00:52:05.200 responsibility. If we do not want people 00:52:05.520 --> 00:52:08.880 that are will not show utter 00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:11.680 disregard for the impact of their decisions, then 00:52:11.680 --> 00:52:13.920 we need to hire better people. And how 00:52:13.920 --> 00:52:15.680 do we hire better better people if we 00:52:15.680 --> 00:52:18.240 don't vet them? You know, we've got an 00:52:18.240 --> 00:52:20.400 election, a midterm election coming up. How many 00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.800 of you have talked to a candidate? 00:52:23.680 --> 00:52:25.280 Uh it doesn't need to be for federal 00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:27.120 office, maybe state office, maybe a local office. 00:52:27.200 --> 00:52:29.280 How many of you talk to them? How 00:52:29.280 --> 00:52:31.760 many of you have you gotten to know 00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:33.280 who they are and what their character is? 00:52:33.360 --> 00:52:34.640 I don't just mean listen to what they 00:52:34.640 --> 00:52:36.400 have to say, I mean look at what 00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.520 they've done. I asked the question 00:52:39.760 --> 00:52:42.240 show me where you fulfilled an oath that 00:52:42.240 --> 00:52:43.920 cost you something, that when it was hard, 00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:46.800 when it was difficult. And uh yeah, frequently 00:52:46.880 --> 00:52:48.720 my response, the answer I the response I 00:52:48.720 --> 00:52:50.800 get is a deer in the headlight look. 00:52:51.200 --> 00:52:52.960 Because most people don't think that way, because 00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:55.520 most candidates aren't asked those types of questions, 00:52:55.840 --> 00:52:59.120 because most voters don't even think about 00:52:59.120 --> 00:53:01.920 it. They're concerned about, you know, will you 00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:04.480 will you support my program? Will you give 00:53:04.480 --> 00:53:06.400 me my goodie? I don't care about the 00:53:06.400 --> 00:53:08.480 consequence, just give me the goodie that I 00:53:08.480 --> 00:53:10.880 want. And we don't think about uh the 00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:13.200 people that we're actually hiring. And to me, 00:53:13.280 --> 00:53:16.720 that is a serious, that's a problem. It's 00:53:16.720 --> 00:53:19.440 a uh it's something that is part of 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:22.640 uh self-governance that well, we've kind of 00:53:22.640 --> 00:53:25.760 educated ourselves out of the responsibility of doing. 00:53:26.720 --> 00:53:28.560 I guess my point is if we don't 00:53:28.560 --> 00:53:31.120 want people that will make decisions that really 00:53:31.120 --> 00:53:33.840 don't care about their impact on us, we 00:53:33.840 --> 00:53:36.000 need to choose better representation. And that is 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:38.160 up to us. No one else can have 00:53:38.160 --> 00:53:41.440 that responsibility. Now, before I go, you know, 00:53:41.520 --> 00:53:43.600 there are a lot of organizations out there 00:53:43.600 --> 00:53:46.000 that are fighting to take away your rights, 00:53:46.160 --> 00:53:48.640 to take away your right to freedom of 00:53:48.640 --> 00:53:51.360 speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, free 00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:53.360 to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, 00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:56.160 even to the right to due process. And 00:53:56.160 --> 00:53:59.360 sadly, you may be supporting them not directly, 00:53:59.520 --> 00:54:01.920 but by who you do business with. There 00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:03.840 are several companies I don't do business with 00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.000 anymore for the simple reason that I found 00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.320 out they support organizations that are attacking my 00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:10.320 rights. I don't buy their products, I don't 00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:12.880 buy their services, I avoid them at all 00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:15.440 cost. Now that also means that I'm looking 00:54:15.440 --> 00:54:17.120 for companies that believe what I believe and 00:54:17.120 --> 00:54:19.440 that put their money where their mouth is. 00:54:19.680 --> 00:54:22.640 One of those is Patriot Mobile, America's only 00:54:22.640 --> 00:54:25.760 Christian conservative wallets provider. That's not why I 00:54:25.760 --> 00:54:28.000 joined them. Yes, I'm a Christian, and most 00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.760 people consider me conservative, but that's not why 00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:31.600 I joined them. I didn't join them for 00:54:31.600 --> 00:54:33.760 their 4G and 5G coverage. I didn't even 00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:36.720 join them for their 100% US-based customer support. 00:54:37.040 --> 00:54:40.480 I joined them because they share my values 00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:42.560 and put their money where their mouth is. 00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:44.960 They take a portion of every dollar they 00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:48.160 make to support organizations fighting for your 00:54:48.160 --> 00:54:51.600 freedom of religion, speech, press, for the 00:54:51.600 --> 00:54:53.680 rights we claim to be to hold most 00:54:53.680 --> 00:54:56.240 dear. They also support the sanctity of life, 00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:58.800 our veterans, and our first responders. You know 00:54:58.800 --> 00:55:01.120 what?
