Robin Armstrong, MD on America

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.120
Out Loud, The Pulse. Thank you for joining

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:38.480
me this afternoon. It's an honor to have

00:00:38.480 --> 00:00:41.600
you on joining us today. And I'm gonna

00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.200
get started right away talking about a
personal

00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.000
incident that took place with me and my

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.880
family this week. It's gonna be maybe a

00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.560
little emotional, but I think it's a it's

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.240
a it's a good story to tell, and

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.960
I think it's uh just as a memorial.

00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.480
You know, this this past Wednesday,

00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.120
you know, we we um had a dog,

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.640
our family dog actually actually died. Uh
that

00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.200
dog was named Rusty. He was a a

00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.400
beautiful red golden doodle

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.600
and just a fun dog. And and I've

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.600
had some time to reflect on this. You

00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:19.920
know, I I I think about

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:23.920
my past, and I've never been an emotional

00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.040
uh person in relation to animals. I just

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.320
haven't been. I I never developed
emotional

00:01:30.320 --> 00:01:33.120
uh ties to to animals growing up, and

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.000
so I just wasn't just wasn't that
interested.

00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:38.160
I was probably had a lot of people

00:01:38.240 --> 00:01:40.480
around me, and and and certainly right now

00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.680
I've got a great wife, great family, and

00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.040
I just hadn't paid a lot of attention

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:47.360
to animals. But I can remember, you know,

00:01:47.520 --> 00:01:50.960
we got Rusty about eight years ago, and

00:01:51.520 --> 00:01:53.920
and Rusty, you know, he's he'll be eight

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.640
actually, would have been eight this
October 15th,

00:01:56.720 --> 00:01:59.200
is would be his birthday. Uh, he died

00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.320
this past Wednesday at 9.05 p.m. But

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.520
we got him about seven, seven, eight years

00:02:05.520 --> 00:02:07.760
ago. My wife bought him. The boys were

00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.400
clamoring for a dog. I have four sons,

00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:12.080
and they really wanted a dog, and they

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.320
had been on my wife, and so she

00:02:14.320 --> 00:02:16.960
bought this designer dog that that came
into

00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.040
our family as a little puppy. You know,

00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.400
the boys were obviously very excited, and
and

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.120
they were just ecstatic. And I can
remember,

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:27.440
I can have the memories of Christmas
morning

00:02:27.440 --> 00:02:30.320
when we brought Rusty out, this little
brown

00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.440
red lab, not brown, sorry, brown red
golden

00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:36.640
doodle. And and so it just was

00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:37.120
um

00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:39.680
this was just a lot of fun. We

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:41.840
we we we played with him and the

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.240
boys had a great time, you know. It

00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.800
was uh just a beautiful dog, and and

00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:48.000
so it was um

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:51.120
so we got the dog up. My feeling

00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.080
at the time was was that

00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:56.560
I really didn't want a dog. This is

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.160
the feeling I had. I can remember as

00:02:58.160 --> 00:03:00.160
a as a boy growing up. My dad

00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:03.040
would always buy me dogs. Now, granted,

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:04.960
growing up in my home, we kept the

00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.960
dogs outside and kept them on a chain,

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:08.960
and I always felt that was a little

00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:11.920
cruel. And and and my dad would buy

00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:13.920
me dogs that I never asked for when

00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:16.160
I was growing up. And so I would

00:03:16.160 --> 00:03:18.880
oftentimes not not even want the dog. Um

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.720
I don't want this dog, I don't want

00:03:20.720 --> 00:03:22.080
to take care of another dog, and I

00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.560
don't want to see a dog lying outside

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:27.280
and on a chain, and and so it

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.200
was, I didn't think it was a great

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:31.520
situation for the animal. So I I never

00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:33.280
wanted them, but my dad would continue to

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:34.960
buy them for me and I would end

00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:36.720
up taking care of them. So this dog

00:03:36.720 --> 00:03:39.920
was not, you know, uh necessarily a
welcome

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:42.560
addition uh for me because I was thinking,

00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:44.240
oh my goodness, I'm gonna end up taking

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.920
care of this dog myself, and me and

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:48.640
my wife are, and and so, but

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.480
Rusty really grew on us uh as a

00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.720
as a as a family. First time I

00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:57.760
kept the dog indoors, and so and so,

00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.240
you know, he was uh remember we went

00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:02.640
through the potty training process, and
that was

00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.880
rough. You know, we got a kennel for

00:04:04.880 --> 00:04:07.440
the dog, and and we had to keep

00:04:07.440 --> 00:04:09.440
him in there at night and used that

00:04:09.440 --> 00:04:11.920
to potty train him over time, and
eventually

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:14.560
got him potty trained, and and he just

00:04:14.880 --> 00:04:17.200
grew up and matured and just became a

00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:19.680
part of our family. He was he was

00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:22.640
on our Christmas pictures and and we

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:25.760
took him walking. Most of my sons would

00:04:25.760 --> 00:04:28.160
take him walking. I'd take him walking
sometimes.

00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:30.160
He's a grew up to be a big

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.360
60-pound brown-red golden

00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.480
doodle uh who we carry around the
neighborhood.

00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.880
Sometimes I felt like he was walking us,

00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:42.320
you know, as opposed to to us walking

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:45.760
him. But but yeah, Rusty grew on

00:04:45.760 --> 00:04:47.680
us. You know, my my my mom, you

00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.920
know, lives in a in a in an

00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:52.880
apartment next next to us, and she'd come

00:04:52.880 --> 00:04:54.720
over and and she she even grew to

00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:57.120
love Rusty. Rusty would he'd come, I
remember

00:04:57.200 --> 00:04:59.680
she'd come and she she'd sit down uh

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:01.920
uh at our kitchen table talking to us,

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.720
and Rusty would come and just lay his

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.520
uh lay his little head on her lap,

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.160
and and he would she'd start rubbing him,

00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.560
you know. Rusty, he just wanted affection,
that's

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.800
all he wanted, and and so it was

00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:16.880
it was it was interesting. And so I,

00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:19.920
you know, he was just a really
affectionate

00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.720
dog, a playful dog, had a great
personality,

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:25.920
was affectionate, um, playful.

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.200
He would jump on people, and and and

00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:31.680
he was just a he's just a um

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.160
just a good dog, good dog with a

00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.720
good personality. And and all he all he

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.720
ever wanted was just just love and
affection.

00:05:38.880 --> 00:05:41.920
And so, so yeah, so we so fast

00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.360
forward into um a few weeks ago, my

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.520
my wife and I went on a on

00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:49.760
a on a marriage retreat, and so we

00:05:49.760 --> 00:05:52.560
were gone for a few days, and and

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.920
he had been, you know, these golden
doodles

00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.920
have a lot of hypersensitivity and a lot

00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.800
of uh a lot of reactions uh to

00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:04.480
allergy reactions and such. And so they
have

00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.920
hot spots on them oftentimes, and so
they'll

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.880
get they'll get um they'll get

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:13.520
infected because they'll they'll bite on
them and

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:16.400
scratching themselves. And so we developed
these hot

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:18.480
spots and we didn't think a lot of

00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:20.640
it. We we treated them and and they

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.960
started getting better. My wife and I went

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:25.120
out of town. We got back, and it

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.040
got much worse, and so we had to

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.040
take him to the veterinarian again, and he

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.840
was just kind of lethargic and tired and

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:34.400
didn't feel well and and wasn't eating
right.

00:06:34.640 --> 00:06:36.080
So we were able to get him some

00:06:36.080 --> 00:06:39.120
medicine and heal up the wounds from the

00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.000
um not significant wounds, but healed up
the

00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.200
little hot spots from from him uh
scratching.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.520
And so we would uh we'd work with

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:50.720
him there, and and he he got

00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.640
better. You know, we put a little cone

00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:54.720
on his head because he was uh he

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:57.440
was biting himself because he was itching
so

00:06:57.440 --> 00:06:59.600
bad. It was it was uh creating marks

00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:01.680
on him. And so we we did that,

00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:03.120
and and and and all of a sudden

00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:04.400
it was getting better. We took him to

00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:05.840
the vet, like I said, he was getting

00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:08.000
better. We got some antibiotics for him.
We

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.720
put some spray on the on the little

00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:13.760
open sores that he had. She shaved around

00:07:13.760 --> 00:07:16.400
a little more, and so um put the

00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:17.840
cone so he wouldn't be able to bite

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:19.520
himself there, and so he was getting
better.

00:07:19.760 --> 00:07:22.160
So starting to get better, move around a

00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.240
little more, took the cone off, you know,

00:07:24.320 --> 00:07:26.080
let him walk around a little more. He

00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:27.920
was running up the stairs and being his

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.000
normal self, you know, he's a he's a

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.520
big dog, so when he runs up the

00:07:31.520 --> 00:07:33.440
stairs, you can hear the loud, you know,

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:35.440
you know, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, we

00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:37.280
just running up and down the stairs, and

00:07:37.440 --> 00:07:40.800
and he's uh real real playful and

00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:42.320
running up. So he's he's doing that again.

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:44.480
He's back to his normal self. And so

00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:46.240
we all felt good. And so we we

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.480
were um happy to see Rusty back to

00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.400
normal, starting to eat a little more as

00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:52.560
well. And so then we we

00:07:53.440 --> 00:07:56.720
um last week, last Wednesday, my

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.200
wife and I went to work out and

00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:02.880
and and we got back, and and Rusty

00:08:02.880 --> 00:08:03.200
was

00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:06.160
was he he had gotten up, you know,

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.720
these dogs, they're just they they they
they

00:08:08.880 --> 00:08:11.040
greet you. Rusty would always greet me at

00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.120
the door. Uh whenever I'd come home from

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:14.880
work, he would run up to the door

00:08:14.880 --> 00:08:16.960
and greet me and with his with his

00:08:16.960 --> 00:08:19.520
tail wagging, you know, rub me, rub me,

00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.560
you know. Um so he was just just

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.720
wanted affection, and I'd rub his little
head

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.880
and say, hello, Rusty Puss. I'd always
call

00:08:26.880 --> 00:08:30.000
him Rusty Puss. And and I'd talk to

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:31.920
him, he'd come wag his tail and and

00:08:32.160 --> 00:08:34.400
say hello, meet me at the door. So

00:08:34.640 --> 00:08:36.320
when my wife and I came in from

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.200
working out this one evening, last
Wednesday evening,

00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:41.760
you know, he he he got up to

00:08:41.760 --> 00:08:43.680
greet us like he normally does. We walked

00:08:43.680 --> 00:08:45.280
into the room, he got up to greet

00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:48.320
us, but he just collapsed um underneath
his

00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.880
weight. Um he was he he couldn't get

00:08:50.880 --> 00:08:53.600
up, he collapsed and was unable to get

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.560
back up. And so I picked him up

00:08:56.560 --> 00:08:58.160
and put him in my truck, and my

00:08:58.160 --> 00:09:00.400
wife and I left. Uh, we left my

00:09:00.560 --> 00:09:03.440
my younger son at home and and and

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.840
we rushed him over to the vet. When

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.880
he got to the veterinarian, um he we

00:09:09.760 --> 00:09:12.560
you know they they came out and met

00:09:12.560 --> 00:09:14.560
us outside. We had called them ahead of

00:09:14.560 --> 00:09:15.920
time and told him that you know it

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:17.680
looks like the dog was in shock and

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:20.960
he was not not awake, he was

00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.000
barely breathing, and and so we we they

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.240
came and swooped him up, got him into

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.720
the vet, and started CPR on him and

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:32.000
started giving him medications and and his

00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:35.600
his belly was uh expanded and was it

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.480
was um distended. And and

00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:42.000
and so we were you know we

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.200
started CPR, were able was able to get

00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.080
a pulse back uh with Rusty. And

00:09:48.400 --> 00:09:50.560
so at that point, you know, he was

00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:53.280
looking like he was probably gonna pass
away,

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:56.160
and he was probably brain dead from being

00:09:56.160 --> 00:09:58.400
uh without oxygen for such a period of

00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:00.480
time. And so we went ahead and made

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.000
the decision to put him down. So I

00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:04.640
went and uh picked up my son uh

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:08.240
from from home. I called him, said, you

00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.960
know, you know, looks like looks like
Rusty's

00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.200
probably not gonna make it and and he's

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.280
dying, and so I went and picked him

00:10:15.280 --> 00:10:16.880
up. And and so

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.400
after we, you know, after I picked him

00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:22.080
up, it's about 20 minutes away,

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.040
got my son, you know, brought him up

00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:27.680
to the vets clinic. And you know, Rusty's

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:30.080
still had a heartbeat, but but he was

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:33.360
um just barely breathing, what we call
agonal

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:36.080
breathing in the medical community, and he
was

00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.600
about to die. And so then we just

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.280
decided that we needed to put him down

00:10:39.280 --> 00:10:41.280
because he was brain dead and not going

00:10:41.280 --> 00:10:44.640
to survive. And so um so this

00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:47.680
was a big event. So we were my

00:10:47.680 --> 00:10:51.120
wife was very upset and tearful, and and

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.000
and I got tearful, and obviously my son

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.920
came in and he was very tearful. You

00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:57.440
know, my other sons who were close to

00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.160
Rusty were not at home at the time.

00:11:00.400 --> 00:11:03.040
Um one of my um sons had got

00:11:03.280 --> 00:11:05.360
just recently gone off to college, and
another

00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.200
one is in college and been there, and

00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:10.000
one was off um out with his with

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.520
a friend. And so

00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.360
we decided to you know actually put, you

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.480
know, go ahead and and and let him

00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:21.440
let Rusty rest in peace. And so this

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:23.760
was really a significant thing. I I was

00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:25.600
not aware, and my wife was not aware,

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:27.520
I was not aware that it would affect

00:11:27.520 --> 00:11:30.080
me to this to this extent, but but

00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:32.080
it certainly did have it have an impact.

00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:34.480
And I, you know, why am I telling

00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.280
you a long story about our dog uh

00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:40.480
passing away? Because I I will tell you,

00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:42.960
I think that when you as I look

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.680
back on, you know, our relationship, and
I'm

00:11:45.680 --> 00:11:47.920
walking around the house now, and you
know,

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.080
I miss him greeting us at the door.

00:11:50.400 --> 00:11:52.320
Uh, I miss him greeting me at the

00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.120
door. I I miss him, you know, you

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.920
know, coming in and smelling around for
food

00:11:57.920 --> 00:12:00.320
on the on the on the floor. You

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:01.840
know, I I get up at night to

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.800
use the restroom sometime, and and I I

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:07.760
miss uh kind of dodging him on the

00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:10.400
floor and walking around him or seeing him

00:12:10.400 --> 00:12:12.320
sleeping on our little chair next to our

00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.480
bed. I I just I I miss that.

00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:17.120
And so we miss him being around because

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.440
he was a part of our family. And

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.840
and and so this is someone who didn't

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.640
come from, you know, a family that had

00:12:24.640 --> 00:12:27.120
dogs, you know, in the house and close

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:28.880
and around like that. But the dog was

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.960
very much a part of our family, and

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.120
and and and we miss Rusty a lot.

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.240
We we mourned his death, you know, because

00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:38.560
um, because he was having an impact. And

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:41.040
one thing that I I can take from,

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.480
you know, that the whole experience now,

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.840
experiencing the loss of of our of our

00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.080
animal like this, is um

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:52.000
is that

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:56.720
all that dog wanted was affection. All

00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:59.680
Rusty wanted was affection. You know, he
didn't

00:12:59.680 --> 00:13:02.800
want anything more. And and you could
treat

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:04.960
him in any way, you know, Rusty was

00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.080
generally treated very well, but boy, you
could

00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.080
treat him, and he would just come back

00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.560
for more affection. He just wanted
affection and

00:13:12.560 --> 00:13:14.960
he just wanted love, and that's all he

00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:18.400
asked for. And and and I'll

00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:21.760
tell you, I think that that

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:22.880
if if if

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:26.640
you know we could act more with a

00:13:26.640 --> 00:13:30.080
mindset of of just forgiveness, you know,

00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:32.640
and and and just with a mindset of

00:13:32.640 --> 00:13:35.920
just just uh service and

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.920
and respect and just um

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.480
you know just not uh expecting

00:13:44.640 --> 00:13:47.680
anything in return from people, uh,

00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:51.200
but but just just desiring you

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:51.440
know

00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:55.200
goodness from people, just desiring
goodness, just deny

00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:58.400
just desiring, you know, a little bit of

00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:01.440
uh favor from people, but not demanding
it.

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:03.440
You know, and and and and when you

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:05.040
when you don't get what you want, just

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:08.480
just just don't don't um don't sulk

00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:11.120
or complain or anything. But but I think

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.920
when they say dog to man's best friend,

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.200
it really, really I understand that
obviously

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:19.680
a lot more now. Uh Richard Nixon said

00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:22.960
very famously in Washington, D.C. if you
want

00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:24.960
a friend, get a dog. You know, that

00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:26.320
dog was a friend. And I'll tell you,

00:14:26.400 --> 00:14:28.960
Rusty was a good friend to us. Uh

00:14:29.040 --> 00:14:31.440
he was a good dog for us. You

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.680
know, he was he was uh a part

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:37.040
of our family. He was happy, he

00:14:37.040 --> 00:14:37.840
was um

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:40.880
just just a just a good dog. I

00:14:40.880 --> 00:14:42.480
can remember him sticking his head out the

00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.800
window when we would take him on car

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:47.360
trips, and man, he was just having just

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.120
a time of his life, you know, and

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.840
and and and and and I'll tell I

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:54.160
think that that it's a time for us

00:14:54.160 --> 00:14:56.320
to just, you know, we we certainly mourn

00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.040
that dog, and I've never mourned a dog

00:14:59.040 --> 00:15:00.960
like that before. I've been sad about our

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.520
dogs dying for sure when I was growing

00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:05.360
up as a boy, but I've never really

00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:08.560
really mourned a dog as a family. And

00:15:08.800 --> 00:15:11.360
so we're gonna miss Rusty. We miss his

00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:14.320
presence here in our household, and we
certainly

00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.040
miss his his time that he was with

00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:19.920
us. And I I think that that we

00:15:19.920 --> 00:15:21.680
can learn a lot from how some of

00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:24.480
our animals interact. You know, I'm I I

00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:26.640
hope to see Rusty in heaven one day.

00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.560
I don't I don't know. Dogs certainly don't

00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:31.920
have a spirit, but but someone mentioned

00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:34.560
earlier that that you know God loves us

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:36.800
and and and if we love our animals,

00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:39.760
I think that that that maybe he'll make

00:15:39.760 --> 00:15:41.280
a way that we could see them in

00:15:41.760 --> 00:15:44.560
eternity one day. So so rest in peace,

00:15:44.640 --> 00:15:47.360
Rusty. We we certainly will miss you. And

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.160
and our family mourns you, and and and

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:52.240
I just want to share that story because

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.720
I I think that it's a common story,

00:15:54.800 --> 00:15:56.320
but I think a lot of dog people

00:15:56.640 --> 00:15:59.040
understand that story. I think a lot of

00:15:59.040 --> 00:16:01.840
people who really don't have dogs and
don't

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:03.920
own dogs really may not understand that
story.

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.600
I know I was one who did not

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.560
understand that story prior to this

00:16:08.560 --> 00:16:11.360
episode, but but it is uh,

00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:14.160
you know, it's a it's a it's a

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.040
moving,

00:16:15.920 --> 00:16:19.200
um, it's moved our family in a way

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.560
that I think is just really um really

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:24.880
made us closer. It's gotten our cause our

00:16:24.880 --> 00:16:27.760
family to be closer, cause our family to

00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.880
to just think about things a little more

00:16:31.520 --> 00:16:34.400
in depth, you know, think about how we

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:37.360
can honor and serve one another better,
you

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:39.680
know, and and and think about how we

00:16:39.680 --> 00:16:42.240
can you know interact better and how this

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.680
this dog was a was a something that

00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:46.000
that

00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:49.920
could help unify us even more and and

00:16:49.920 --> 00:16:52.000
make us even closer as we as we

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.640
mourn together. And so so just keep our

00:16:54.640 --> 00:16:56.720
family in your prayers. We're doing well,
you

00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.280
know, we're doing well. And and so we

00:16:59.280 --> 00:17:00.720
just uh want to just

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.080
want to share that story just because I

00:17:04.080 --> 00:17:06.160
think it was it's something that I I

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:09.360
certainly wanted to remember Rusty's time
with us

00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.360
and then uh be able to share that

00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:14.080
with you. So this is uh Robin Armstrong,

back to Robin Armstrong, MD on America

00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:28.560
out loud the pulse. So now we're going

00:20:28.560 --> 00:20:31.920
to talk about back to these midterm
elections.

00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:34.320
And I just want to talk real important

00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.840
about real and frankly about how

00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:39.920
what I think the Democrats want to do

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:42.960
to us as a nation. And so I

00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.760
think the Democrat Party has really taken
a

00:20:45.760 --> 00:20:48.720
radical, radical turn left. And so I just

00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.840
want to talk about that with you today

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.280
and just to go into a little more

00:20:55.280 --> 00:20:57.440
details about what they have planned for
us.

00:20:57.600 --> 00:20:59.680
You know, I really believe that there's
one

00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.480
party in this country now that that

00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:06.320
loves America. And there's one party that

00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:09.840
that despises America, that

00:21:10.080 --> 00:21:13.520
doesn't love America. And so I can
remember

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:17.360
when Barack Obama was president. I was not

00:21:17.360 --> 00:21:20.320
a Barack Obama supporter. I worked very
hard

00:21:20.320 --> 00:21:22.880
to elect John McCain, even though I didn't

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.720
like him very much either. But I just

00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.200
thought that his values were more in line

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:29.600
with what I believed than Barack Obama.

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.000
But when Barack Obama was president, I
still

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.120
loved America. I still didn't

00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:39.920
agree with the decision that was made, but

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:42.320
when he was elected and then re-elected, I

00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:44.640
still loved the country. I still thought
America

00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:47.200
was the greatest country in the world,
despite

00:21:47.360 --> 00:21:49.760
electing someone who I didn't think uh
share

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.000
those same values. Um

00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:53.440
when

00:21:55.280 --> 00:21:56.640
the Democrats,

00:21:57.840 --> 00:22:00.960
whenever the Republicans elected, the
Democrats,

00:22:01.120 --> 00:22:04.400
by and large, they they hate the

00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.040
country. You know, I can remember uh
Michelle

00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.480
Obama saying very, very distinctly, she

00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:13.360
said when her husband was elected
president, she

00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:16.240
said it was the first time that she

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:17.920
was proud of America.

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.160
Now I just want to pause and have

00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.720
you think about that. You know, a first

00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:28.240
lady of the United States said, This

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.960
is the first time I have been proud

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:33.040
of the United States of America. And it's

00:22:33.120 --> 00:22:35.520
and she was only proud because the country

00:22:35.520 --> 00:22:38.560
had just elected her husband president.
And

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:42.560
that's an unbelievable statement. You
know, I've

00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:46.320
had the fortunate blessing to be able

00:22:46.320 --> 00:22:48.240
to travel all over the world, and I

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.840
and I know, including Africa, including um
Europe

00:22:52.080 --> 00:22:55.280
multiple times and Asia, and and so

00:22:55.760 --> 00:22:58.800
and I know that people love United States

00:22:58.800 --> 00:23:01.840
of America, and they love nothing more
than

00:23:01.840 --> 00:23:03.600
to live here in the United States of

00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:06.400
America. And so and so other nations love,

00:23:06.800 --> 00:23:09.440
other people love our nation and
understand that

00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:11.440
goodness. When I was in Africa, I had

00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.000
a um, I can remember driving down the

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:16.960
road um in Nairobi,

00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.160
Kenya, and and I saw a big sign

00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:23.120
that said, you know, this road

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.240
was paved by

00:23:26.800 --> 00:23:30.240
the finances and the generosity of the

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.360
people of the United States of America. I

00:23:33.360 --> 00:23:35.920
mean, there's a big, huge sign on the

00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:37.840
side of the road that said that in

00:23:37.840 --> 00:23:41.200
Nairobi, Kenya. And I remember that very
well,

00:23:41.280 --> 00:23:44.160
and I thought, you know, wow. And I

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.320
was in my early 20s at the time,

00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:48.400
and I was I thought to myself, man,

00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:50.880
I am so proud of my nation at

00:23:50.880 --> 00:23:53.200
that time. I was proud of it then,

00:23:53.280 --> 00:23:55.040
I was proud of it before then, but

00:23:55.040 --> 00:23:57.040
I I I it gave me something to

00:23:57.040 --> 00:23:58.640
kind of stick my chest out about and

00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:00.720
say, wow, I really love this nation. We

00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:02.560
are we are in a good nation, it's

00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:05.120
such a good nation. And then for uh

00:24:05.840 --> 00:24:08.560
a first lady of the United States to

00:24:08.560 --> 00:24:11.040
say that for the first time she's proud

00:24:11.040 --> 00:24:12.640
of her nation just because her husband was

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:15.360
elected, just because she was given power,
that

00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:18.640
amazed me. But I'm telling you folks, this

00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.080
is the mindset of the Democrat Party and

00:24:22.080 --> 00:24:25.280
left. They believe that our

00:24:25.280 --> 00:24:28.080
nation was founded on slavery.

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:31.200
They believe in this is what the 1619

00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.400
project is all about. They believe that
our

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.760
country is is is is inherently evil,

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.480
you know, even though uh there is lots

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:43.520
of evidence that our founding fathers did
not

00:24:43.520 --> 00:24:46.800
want slavery. They they um they

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:50.000
they accepted slavery uh because it was a

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:52.160
way of life at the time, you know,

00:24:52.320 --> 00:24:55.520
but but uh America is is actually

00:24:55.520 --> 00:24:58.480
got rid of slavery in 90 years.

00:24:58.800 --> 00:25:01.920
America had slaves for 90 years, nine

00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.200
zero, you know, 1776 when we

00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.560
became a uh a nation, and um

00:25:08.800 --> 00:25:11.280
we started fighting for our independence
at that

00:25:11.280 --> 00:25:12.800
time, and and

00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.280
up to to 18 you know, sixty-five, when

00:25:17.280 --> 00:25:19.840
the civil war was over, you know, we

00:25:19.840 --> 00:25:22.080
ended slavery, and there was a lot of

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.040
Christian people, a lot of white people,
um,

00:25:25.760 --> 00:25:28.960
obviously, a lot of black people fought
very

00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:31.600
hard to end slavery in this nation, and

00:25:31.600 --> 00:25:34.800
it lasted for 90 years. And so,

00:25:35.360 --> 00:25:37.920
horrible stain on our country, no excuse
for

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:41.280
it, but um slavery here was a

00:25:41.280 --> 00:25:44.080
lot less than it was in other nations,

00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.800
and so but but they believe our nation

00:25:46.800 --> 00:25:48.000
was founded on that.

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.760
They believe that our nation was founded
on

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.720
stolen lands um and

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.520
killing people and and and just

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.400
taking over lands in a in a very

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:00.720
um

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:03.440
evil manner.

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:06.000
I'll tell you, I I just

00:26:09.600 --> 00:26:12.480
this is the foundation of the Democrat
Party

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.360
today. They do not love America

00:26:15.360 --> 00:26:18.560
unless they are in power. And I think

00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:20.960
that is so unfortunate. And this is where

00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:22.720
they are. We cannot allow, and I bec

00:26:22.800 --> 00:26:25.680
I I think that it's very dangerous for

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.720
us to allow someone to be in

00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:31.920
power in our nation at any level, who

00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:34.960
does not inherently love the nation that
they

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:37.120
live in. They don't inherently love the
states

00:26:37.120 --> 00:26:39.360
that they live in, they don't inherently
love

00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:41.440
the communities that they live in because
they

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.640
think that this nation is stained. You
know,

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:48.160
one party, um, the Republican Party
believes in

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.280
freedom and private property rights and
the constitution.

00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.080
And the other party, the Democrat Party
today,

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:57.360
believes in socialism, government
redistribution of

00:26:57.360 --> 00:27:00.720
goods and property, and Sharia law. This
is

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.720
what the Democrat Party believes in. Now
they

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:04.400
won't tell you that they believe in Sharia

00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.600
law, but they're certainly accepting all
these

00:27:07.600 --> 00:27:10.880
candidates who are promoting living in
Sharia,

00:27:11.120 --> 00:27:13.280
living according to Sharia law. They're
not standing

00:27:13.280 --> 00:27:15.360
in the way of it. Um they certainly

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:18.160
are promoting it. Uh redistribution of
goods and

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:21.600
property. Barack Obama said countless
times that

00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:24.720
he was in favor of redistribution. He

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:27.440
believed in redistributive policies to

00:27:27.440 --> 00:27:30.720
redistribute wealth amongst many different
populations,

00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:33.920
many different um um poverty

00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:37.200
groups, uh, basically redistribute the
wealth to the

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.840
people that voted for him, essentially.
And they

00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:42.560
believe in socialism now, they full on
accepted

00:27:42.560 --> 00:27:45.760
socialism as well. And and there was

00:27:45.760 --> 00:27:48.800
a uh resolution in the United States House

00:27:48.800 --> 00:27:52.080
of Representatives to condemn socialism
and

00:27:52.080 --> 00:27:54.800
communism, but only nine

00:27:55.040 --> 00:27:58.160
Democrats signed on to that resolution

00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.760
in the United States House of
Representatives. Only

00:28:01.760 --> 00:28:04.720
nine. The other Democrats were in

00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:08.000
opposition to it. And so clearly they're
they

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:11.440
believe in socialism. There is a frank and

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:14.240
stark difference between the two parties
today.

00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:16.800
And and we

00:28:17.840 --> 00:28:19.840
we can't afford to elect Democrats

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.760
look at all these um transgender

00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:25.760
policies, um

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:30.400
just aggressive, aggressive um and and

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:33.920
uh sexual policies where they believe in,

00:28:34.320 --> 00:28:37.760
you know, transing our kids. Um they they

00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:41.120
essentially are are uh making

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:43.840
this a civil rights issue. Um

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:47.360
you know, many of the trans community
today,

00:28:47.520 --> 00:28:49.600
and and and when I say trans community,

00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:52.160
I'm talking about adults. Uh there are no

00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:55.440
trans kids. You are either boy or

00:28:55.520 --> 00:28:58.720
girl, male or female, and and

00:28:58.800 --> 00:29:01.200
and and and and and a girl cannot

00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:04.000
become a boy, and a boy cannot become

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.360
a girl. It just cannot happen. And so

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:10.080
what is happening today, I see it as

00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:12.000
a physician, I see it happen in Texas

00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:14.640
Children's Hospital in Houston, Texas,
that just

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:17.280
you know, now they have to form a

00:29:17.280 --> 00:29:20.560
detransitioning clinic uh by by force.
They

00:29:20.560 --> 00:29:22.560
didn't do it on purpose, they were
transing

00:29:22.560 --> 00:29:25.920
kids against Texas law for years.

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:28.880
And they just uh our great attorney
general

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.920
Ken Paxton just won a settlement against
them

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:35.280
within the last few months, forcing them
to

00:29:35.280 --> 00:29:37.840
stop what they're doing and and and to

00:29:37.840 --> 00:29:41.040
have a detransition clinic. And so

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:43.840
but they want to trans our kids. They

00:29:43.840 --> 00:29:46.240
want to they they believe in having you

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:49.600
know trans story hour in our in

00:29:49.600 --> 00:29:52.960
our kids. They want, you know, grown

00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:56.320
men, you know, dressed up like women

00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:59.600
uh with lipstick and fake

00:29:59.920 --> 00:30:02.560
fake boobs and all this, it's just
embarrassing.

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.160
They want these men who have sexual

00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:08.720
fetishes, who who are who are perverted,

00:30:09.200 --> 00:30:12.560
coming into schools and and having

00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:15.920
reading stories to our kids. They

00:30:16.080 --> 00:30:18.480
wanting to normalize this very

00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:22.400
abnormal behavior. And and and

00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:24.960
if someone like myself or someone like
you,

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:28.000
who is normal thinking, comes to them and

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:31.280
says, you know, look, a boy is a

00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:33.040
boy and a girl is a girl, and

00:30:33.040 --> 00:30:35.840
and you can't change that, then they call

00:30:35.840 --> 00:30:39.040
that genocide. They say that you are
you're

00:30:39.040 --> 00:30:41.840
trying to kill us, you want to do

00:30:41.840 --> 00:30:45.040
away with us, which is which is absolutely

00:30:45.040 --> 00:30:46.800
not true. It's it's but it but the

00:30:46.800 --> 00:30:49.680
left certainly says that. The Democrat
Party says

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.360
that. Why is that? Because they want to

00:30:51.360 --> 00:30:53.760
make this, they want to empower this group

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:56.800
to become violent against um

00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:00.640
right-minded thinking people. You know,
that that

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:02.480
that's the only thing I can think of,

00:31:02.800 --> 00:31:05.120
because that's certainly what has
happened. You know,

00:31:05.280 --> 00:31:07.280
you look at the murder of Charlie Kirk,

00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:08.800
it was a a trans

00:31:10.080 --> 00:31:13.360
man, uh, or it was a homosexual

00:31:13.360 --> 00:31:15.520
man who was in a trans relationship with

00:31:15.520 --> 00:31:18.160
another man. He was in a relationship with

00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:20.320
a trans man. I think it's so confusing.

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.680
I can't even say define the terms property

00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:26.960
properly. But but but also the the man

00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:28.720
that he was in a relationship was also

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:32.080
a furry, whatever that is, that she's

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.200
that person uh thinks that they're they
have

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.840
some animal characteristics as well. So
not only

00:31:37.840 --> 00:31:39.840
is he not a man, he he's he's

00:31:39.840 --> 00:31:42.000
a man who is pretending to be a

00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:45.040
woman who is also part animal. And so

00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:48.320
that's the person who killed Charlie

00:31:48.320 --> 00:31:50.720
Kirk was in a relationship with a person

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:52.800
like that. So this was a uh a

00:31:52.800 --> 00:31:56.160
person who was frankly mentally ill. And
and

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.680
and and Democrats are wanting to push

00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:02.640
these policies onto our children and

00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:05.760
further confuse them. You know, there have
been

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:08.080
studies that have gone out that have shown

00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:11.440
that that people who are um, you

00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:14.240
know, the trans community after they

00:32:14.560 --> 00:32:17.840
transition from one gender to a next,

00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:21.040
they are actually more likely to commit
suicide

00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.400
and to be suicide, more likely.

00:32:25.120 --> 00:32:28.080
And so one of the big things that

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:30.560
the doctors have said, doctors at Texas
Children,

00:32:30.640 --> 00:32:33.120
I'm sure, have said this and and told

00:32:33.120 --> 00:32:36.320
parents this, they'd say, well, would you
rather

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:39.200
have a live daughter

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:42.560
or a dead son, you know, sort of

00:32:42.560 --> 00:32:45.840
bullying parents? Elon Musk said that

00:32:45.840 --> 00:32:48.720
they told him this, which which

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:51.280
caused him to be uh to sort of

00:32:51.280 --> 00:32:54.320
sit back and allow the physicians to
transition

00:32:54.320 --> 00:32:57.280
his son to a female. And he was

00:32:57.280 --> 00:33:00.320
angry about it because he determined that
he

00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:02.400
was lied to, and he was lied to.

00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:04.400
And physicians who do this, frankly, ought
to

00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.840
be put in jail, frankly. Um, it's amazing

00:33:07.840 --> 00:33:10.640
to me how when the money stopped flowing,

00:33:10.800 --> 00:33:13.040
when Texas shut off the money from these

00:33:13.040 --> 00:33:16.480
transitions, it's amazing how how all of

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.200
a sudden, you know, the pediatric

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.400
community nationwide began to to

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.720
to

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.880
express some reservations about it. Um,
the

00:33:27.040 --> 00:33:30.160
the surgical community started to express

00:33:30.160 --> 00:33:32.320
reservations about it when the money was
shut

00:33:32.320 --> 00:33:34.240
off from it. So this was a money-making

00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.040
venture, and people were willing to

00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:42.080
harm, you know, the the Hippocratic Old
said,

00:33:42.320 --> 00:33:45.440
first do no harm. But physicians and
hospitals

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.880
were willing to harm people, harm people,
to

00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:51.360
tell them a lie, and you can be

00:33:51.360 --> 00:33:53.520
this, you know, where you you you you

00:33:53.520 --> 00:33:56.080
can transition, we can we can cut off

00:33:56.080 --> 00:33:58.880
your breasts, and we can create a a

00:33:59.520 --> 00:34:02.080
fake penis of some kind to to

00:34:02.560 --> 00:34:05.680
transition you and we can make you uh

00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.400
another gender when this it's at when it's

00:34:08.400 --> 00:34:11.760
not possible. Um physicians should be held

00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:13.760
accountable. Um I I believe they should
be,

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.480
I should believe they should be held
criminally

00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:19.680
accountable, and certainly they should be
held um

00:34:20.640 --> 00:34:22.640
financially accountable as well.

00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:26.000
Democrats won't allow boys and girls in
our

00:34:27.120 --> 00:34:30.400
boys and men in girls and women's safe

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:33.280
spaces as well. Uh this is something that

00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:36.160
they that they promote and something that
they

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:39.120
are in favor of. Um they're they're

00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:42.640
they allow the Biden administration
allowed a foreign

00:34:42.640 --> 00:34:44.960
invasion. So these are what the allowed a

00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.440
foreign invasion of people to come into
our

00:34:47.440 --> 00:34:50.320
country from our southern border. Uh we've

00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:51.120
transitioned from

00:34:54.160 --> 00:34:57.440
sexual sins of the left to to sort

00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:59.440
of the border policy sins of the left.

00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:02.720
They've allowed, um, they wanted to allow

00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:06.080
uh foreigners to come from our borders,
including

00:35:06.080 --> 00:35:09.440
criminals, including people, because they
want to change

00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:12.080
the makeup of our of our nation. The

00:35:12.080 --> 00:35:14.400
great replacement theory is what actually
the left

00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:16.320
calls it. They say we're fearful of that.

00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:18.240
But that's exactly what they plan on
doing.

00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:20.080
That's what they want to do. They want

00:35:20.080 --> 00:35:22.640
to import more Democrat voters so they can

00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:25.920
win elections. Uh, despite the fact that

00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:28.160
that some may be criminals, despite the
fact

00:35:28.160 --> 00:35:29.920
that some may be murderers in their
country,

00:35:30.080 --> 00:35:31.760
despite the fact that some may be very

00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:34.080
evil people, they want to allow them in.

00:35:34.160 --> 00:35:36.160
The Democrat Party has a plan to allow

00:35:36.160 --> 00:35:38.320
them in so they can get more votes.

00:35:38.560 --> 00:35:41.680
Um they've set up um permission

00:35:41.680 --> 00:35:44.400
structures for murder as well. You know,
and

00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:46.480
you look at the Charlie Kirk murder, it

00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:48.960
saddened me that a lot of Democrats
actually

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:51.680
celebrated the murder of our friend uh
Charlie

00:35:51.680 --> 00:35:55.120
Kirk. And and they celebrated this. And

00:35:55.680 --> 00:35:58.080
there's no doubt about how they celebrated
the

00:35:58.160 --> 00:36:00.800
the you know his murder. And and it

00:36:00.800 --> 00:36:02.560
is um, it's just

00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:07.040
yeah, it's just shameful. It's just
shameful. They

00:36:07.040 --> 00:36:10.080
set up a permission structure for that by

00:36:10.160 --> 00:36:13.360
by saying, you know, you're committing
suicide. If

00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:16.160
you call someone Hitler enough, you know,
then

00:36:16.160 --> 00:36:17.840
someone's gonna go after him and try to

00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:19.760
kill him. You know, if you say that

00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:22.480
someone's trying to commit genocide
against an entire

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:25.600
community, then someone's gonna go after
them. And

00:36:25.600 --> 00:36:28.240
obviously those things are not happening,
but but

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:30.560
that's what the Democrat left says. And so

00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.160
I believe that that the Democrat Party

00:36:34.160 --> 00:36:35.600
wants to um

00:36:36.560 --> 00:36:39.520
fundamentally change our country, just
like uh Barack

00:36:39.680 --> 00:36:42.000
Obama said he wanted to. Um I believe

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:43.760
that they're not proud of this country,
just

00:36:43.760 --> 00:36:45.680
like his wife said she was never proud

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:49.120
until they gained power. And and I believe

00:36:49.120 --> 00:36:52.320
that that they want to tear down every

00:36:52.640 --> 00:36:55.680
fundamental pillar that this country has
been built

00:36:55.680 --> 00:36:59.120
on. The pillars of freedom, liberty,

00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:02.800
private property rights, um, the
Constitution

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:04.880
of the United States. They want to tear

00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:07.840
down those pillars so that they can

00:37:07.840 --> 00:37:11.200
rebuild a socialist, communist, what they

00:37:11.200 --> 00:37:13.600
believe is a utopia. And so I think

00:37:13.600 --> 00:37:16.800
that that we have to fight back against

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:19.520
this in these midterm elections. You know,
one

00:37:19.520 --> 00:37:21.040
of the things they want to do as

00:37:21.040 --> 00:37:23.520
well is socialize health care and
medicine. We

00:37:23.520 --> 00:37:25.040
have to fight back against this in these

00:37:25.040 --> 00:37:27.680
midterm elections. I think it's important.
I think

00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:30.560
that we're gonna um have to push back

00:37:30.560 --> 00:37:32.480
strong to make sure we hold on the

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:35.760
House and Senate. And next segment, we're
gonna

00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:37.840
talk about healthcare in detail and how
they

00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:40.320
want to socialize the healthcare system.
This is

00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:43.520
Robert Armstrong on America Out Loud News
Network.

00:37:43.680 --> 00:37:45.840
Uh, you can listen to our app from

any web browser in the world. And so

00:37:48.080 --> 00:37:49.680
we want to join you to do that.

00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:53.040
Uh, you can hear our show on podcast

00:37:53.040 --> 00:37:56.000
afterwards. Um, so it'll be played on
Apple,

00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:59.040
Spotify, Tune In, and all those podcasts
uh

00:37:59.040 --> 00:38:01.600
once that show is over. Thank you. And

00:38:01.760 --> 00:38:03.360
join us in our next segment. We're gonna

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:06.080
talk a little more detail about socialism
and

00:38:06.080 --> 00:38:08.400
we're gonna talk about um how they want

00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:10.960
to socialize our healthcare system. During
treatment, the

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:13.280
structure of tap water gets messed up.
Yes,

00:38:13.360 --> 00:38:14.880
we have to purify water, but what are

00:38:14.880 --> 00:38:16.800
we doing to fix the water structure so

00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:18.880
the body can actually absorb it? That is

00:38:18.880 --> 00:38:21.360
why we created our lab certified
structured water

00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:24.320
devices. These devices restore water
molecules back to

00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:26.960
their natural structure just like a
mountain stream,

00:38:27.120 --> 00:38:29.600
making them highly absorbable. It's not
how much

00:38:29.600 --> 00:38:31.680
you drink, it's how much you absorb that

00:38:31.680 --> 00:38:34.960

00:39:26.640 --> 00:39:29.520
Thank you for joining me today. Call the

00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:34.160
Robin Armstrong, MD. I'm glad you joined
me.

00:39:34.240 --> 00:39:36.480
It's exciting to have you here today. And

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:39.280
and we're gonna um in our last segment,

00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:42.480
we're gonna talk about health care. I am

00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:44.960
a medical physician, and so this is
something

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:47.520
that's near and dear to my heart. Health

00:39:47.520 --> 00:39:50.400
care is is so, so very

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:54.080
important. Uh it's important, obviously,
because

00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:56.480
it's the most important thing to people.
You

00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:58.400
know, you if you without your health, you

00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:00.000
die. And so, and people want to live,

00:40:00.080 --> 00:40:03.280
and so it's important. And it's one aspect

00:40:03.520 --> 00:40:06.240
of of politics that

00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:09.600
every person, you know, every person is
going

00:40:09.600 --> 00:40:12.000
to interact with the healthcare system at
some

00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:14.240
point. You know, I told a story earlier

00:40:14.240 --> 00:40:17.280
about my my dog Rusty, who had passed

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:19.280
away. He we we have interacted with the

00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.080
veterinarian healthcare system. You know,
we

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:25.840
we've certainly interacted much as a
physician. I've

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:29.120
interacted with our our our our human
healthcare

00:40:29.120 --> 00:40:31.040
system, I've interacted with it a lot as

00:40:31.040 --> 00:40:33.280
a physician, I've interacted with it a lot

00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:36.480
with it personally, uh, with um my

00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:39.520
wife having health issues uh in the past

00:40:39.680 --> 00:40:42.880
with my my father, he passed away, um,

00:40:43.120 --> 00:40:44.960
had a lot of health issues as well.

00:40:45.120 --> 00:40:48.400
So every individual in America and

00:40:48.640 --> 00:40:50.720
on the earth essentially, but in America
for

00:40:50.720 --> 00:40:53.200
sure, in developed countries, there you're
going to

00:40:53.200 --> 00:40:55.680
interact with the healthcare system at
some point.

00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:59.200
And so it's an extremely important issue.

00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.560
In 2018, the which was a

00:41:02.560 --> 00:41:05.680
midterm election at that time, uh, where
Trump

00:41:05.680 --> 00:41:07.680
was president, he had been president for
two

00:41:07.680 --> 00:41:10.400
years, and so it's fairly similar to

00:41:11.040 --> 00:41:13.840
um the situation that we we have today

00:41:13.840 --> 00:41:16.720
in 2026, where Trump has been president
for

00:41:16.720 --> 00:41:20.000
two years, and we have another midterm
election.

00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.440
During that midterm of 2018, the United

00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.560
States House uh Republicans were in
control of

00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:29.920
the House and the Senate. Republicans lost
40

00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.560
seats in the United States House of
Representatives,

00:41:32.720 --> 00:41:35.440
and at that time it gave control over

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:38.080
to the Democrat Party. And so

00:41:38.720 --> 00:41:40.640
we are fighting to make sure that doesn't

00:41:40.640 --> 00:41:42.800
happen. But this there was a study that

00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:46.080
was done uh in 2018 and

00:41:46.080 --> 00:41:48.480
by the Republican National Committee, of
which I'm

00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:51.840
also on, and that study showed

00:41:52.160 --> 00:41:52.480
that

00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:55.840
for the first time in many, many years,

00:41:56.000 --> 00:41:59.120
Republicans lost suburban women.

00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:02.800
And the issue that they lost suburban
women

00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:05.600
over was the health care issue. The
healthcare

00:42:05.600 --> 00:42:08.240
issue was the most important issue to them

00:42:08.240 --> 00:42:10.880
in 2018. And I'll tell you that's only

00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.280
increased in importance today. And I'm not
even

00:42:13.280 --> 00:42:16.240
talking about abortion for these women,
I'm talking

00:42:16.240 --> 00:42:18.480
about just health care, taking care of
their

00:42:18.480 --> 00:42:21.520
families, because everyone knows that that
women

00:42:21.520 --> 00:42:24.320
manage the health care in their homes by

00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:27.520
and large. And so it's so important

00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.960
that that conservatives and republicans
talk about

00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.280
solutions to our health care. I think that

00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:35.600
President Trump knows this very well. He's
seen

00:42:35.600 --> 00:42:38.720
those stats. And if you uh follow the

00:42:38.720 --> 00:42:41.200
midterm convention at all, you'll see that
we

00:42:41.200 --> 00:42:43.760
had sections in the midterm convention
that talked

00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.720
about health care. They talked about Trump
RX

00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:50.240
accounts, which has saved um

00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:53.920
hundreds of millions of dollars off
prescription

00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:57.120
drugs by negotiating uh drug

00:42:57.600 --> 00:43:00.880
uh prices with the drug companies. Um

00:43:01.120 --> 00:43:03.520
a lot of foreign countries have gotten
cheap

00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:07.360
drug prices because their whole government
has negotiated

00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:10.400
with the pharmaceutical companies. They
get low prices,

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:12.080
and so it causes us to have to

00:43:12.080 --> 00:43:14.480
pay more because they need to make money

00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:16.560
on all the research and development that
they've

00:43:16.560 --> 00:43:17.760
done. Well,

00:43:18.720 --> 00:43:21.520
um, Trump decided to end that, and he

00:43:21.680 --> 00:43:24.720
he he's negotiated with these
pharmaceutical companies as

00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:26.560
well and said, you know, you need to

00:43:26.560 --> 00:43:29.280
charge them a little more and then and

00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:31.920
then charge Americans a little less. And
so

00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:34.000
it saved hundreds and hundreds of millions
of

00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:36.960
millions of dollars on on medications in
the

00:43:36.960 --> 00:43:39.440
United States, which is a big, big deal.

00:43:39.680 --> 00:43:43.120
Um, we talk about healthcare affordability
as well,

00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:46.480
and so, which is extremely important. And
so

00:43:46.720 --> 00:43:49.040
he understands that health care is an
important

00:43:49.040 --> 00:43:51.200
issue to a lot of suburban women, and

00:43:51.200 --> 00:43:52.720
that we need to talk about this. And

00:43:52.720 --> 00:43:55.200
the fact is, is the the statistics show

00:43:55.200 --> 00:43:57.120
that when we talk about health care, uh,

00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:58.640
we are able to win some of these

00:43:58.640 --> 00:44:00.800
women over because it's something that
they talk

00:44:00.800 --> 00:44:04.160
about. Um, but the socialists also talk
about

00:44:04.160 --> 00:44:06.320
health care. Democrat Party talks about
health care,

00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:08.400
they talk about health care for all. It's

00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:10.240
a it's a fixation of theirs. And this

00:44:10.240 --> 00:44:11.600
is why they talk about it because they

00:44:11.600 --> 00:44:14.640
know that it's important to these
all-important suburban

00:44:14.720 --> 00:44:16.240
women. You know, women make up more than

00:44:16.240 --> 00:44:19.280
50% of our population today. Uh, they make

00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:21.440
up more than 50% of our workforce, they

00:44:21.600 --> 00:44:23.440
make up well over 50% of the people

00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:26.560
graduating colleges, and so it, so

00:44:26.640 --> 00:44:29.920
they're an important group. And so
certainly

00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.880
men are important as well, but but women

00:44:32.880 --> 00:44:35.360
are they they tend to flex in and

00:44:35.360 --> 00:44:37.840
out of parties, you know, based on um

00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:40.320
based on the issues of of the day.

00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:42.080
And I think healthcare is an important
issue

00:44:42.080 --> 00:44:45.440
that we need to discuss. Democrat Party

00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:48.640
wants to socialize our healthcare system,
and and

00:44:48.640 --> 00:44:51.520
I this is very concerning to me. Um,

00:44:51.680 --> 00:44:54.560
our healthcare system is is is in a

00:44:54.560 --> 00:44:57.760
mess, for sure. I agree with that. That

00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.400
is absolutely the case, but I'll tell you,

00:45:00.560 --> 00:45:03.200
the the mess that we're in, it's we're

00:45:03.200 --> 00:45:06.560
still in far better shape than any other

00:45:06.560 --> 00:45:09.360
country in the world. And and and how

00:45:09.520 --> 00:45:11.200
how can I prove that? Well, I can

00:45:11.200 --> 00:45:14.400
tell you that people come here for their

00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:17.120
health care. You know, when there's a very

00:45:17.120 --> 00:45:18.880
wealthy, you know,

00:45:21.200 --> 00:45:24.400
say, I know the Ayatollah, uh, when when

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:27.200
we had fairly good relationships with
Iran, he

00:45:27.200 --> 00:45:29.360
came here for his health care. Uh Saudi

00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:31.920
Arabian princes, you know, at any given
time,

00:45:32.080 --> 00:45:34.800
can they'll rent an entire floor at MD

00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:38.000
Anderson Cancer Center here in Houston,
and and

00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.960
they will uh they'll come here for their

00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:43.920
health care. If you have any advanced
therapy

00:45:43.920 --> 00:45:46.480
or surgeries that you need, then

00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.320
the world comes to the United States of

00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:53.280
America for advanced health care

00:45:53.600 --> 00:45:55.280
when they need care on

00:45:56.240 --> 00:45:58.560
unique or interesting problems or they
need some

00:45:58.560 --> 00:46:00.320
sort of surgical procedure. They come to
the

00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.600
United States of America. If you socialize
our

00:46:03.600 --> 00:46:06.560
health care system, that will that will
cease

00:46:06.560 --> 00:46:09.600
to exist because you will you will take

00:46:09.600 --> 00:46:13.040
away the the creativity, you will take

00:46:13.040 --> 00:46:15.200
away the research and development, you
will take

00:46:15.200 --> 00:46:18.080
away the free capital that is currently
here

00:46:18.560 --> 00:46:21.280
and allows for people to profit from their

00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:24.320
inventions. And so if you discover some
great

00:46:24.640 --> 00:46:28.000
treatment for a disease, then then you

00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:30.320
should be able to patent that and and

00:46:30.400 --> 00:46:33.760
and and be financially rewarded

00:46:34.080 --> 00:46:37.120
for that. If you socialize the system and

00:46:37.120 --> 00:46:39.680
the government takes over the system, you
will

00:46:39.680 --> 00:46:43.040
dry up that incentive and you will have

00:46:43.680 --> 00:46:46.800
likely millions of people dying

00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:49.520
because you will not have the

00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:53.760
research development, the technological

00:46:53.920 --> 00:46:56.800
know-how to save lives. You will lose
that.

00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:59.200
We will lose that in this country if

00:46:59.200 --> 00:47:01.920
we socialize the system. You know, Ronald

00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:04.960
Reagan, very wise president,

00:47:05.120 --> 00:47:08.320
he was doing general general electric
talks,

00:47:08.640 --> 00:47:11.280
and he tells a story of a socialist

00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.480
who was running for president in the
1960s.

00:47:14.960 --> 00:47:17.040
And he was having a Ronald Reagan was

00:47:17.040 --> 00:47:19.120
having a conversation with this socialist,
and this

00:47:19.120 --> 00:47:21.520
was before Ronald Reagan was involved with
politics

00:47:21.520 --> 00:47:23.760
at all. This was when he was doing,

00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:25.920
he was an actor and he was traveling

00:47:25.920 --> 00:47:29.200
around doing general electric talks about
conservative

00:47:29.200 --> 00:47:31.520
issues. But he was talking about health
care

00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:33.680
and he was talking about talking to this,

00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:36.160
he recounted a conversation he had with
the

00:47:36.160 --> 00:47:38.560
socialists who was running for president
at the

00:47:38.560 --> 00:47:41.760
time. So he said that in talking to

00:47:41.760 --> 00:47:44.400
the socialist, he said that that the
socialists

00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:46.480
mentioned to him, he said that, you know,

00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:50.080
the American people will never accept
socialism

00:47:50.880 --> 00:47:53.760
if we just say it and call it

00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:55.200
that. You know, if we just go through

00:47:55.200 --> 00:47:56.800
all the planks and say, this is what

00:47:56.800 --> 00:47:58.080
we believe and this is what you should

00:47:58.240 --> 00:48:00.800
should accept. But what this guy, what the

00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:03.360
socialist did say, he says, but if we

00:48:03.520 --> 00:48:06.080
if we couch it in the terms of

00:48:07.200 --> 00:48:10.160
uh compassion, if we say

00:48:11.120 --> 00:48:14.240
health care for all, you know, treating
the

00:48:14.240 --> 00:48:16.400
sick, we should treat everyone, if we if

00:48:16.400 --> 00:48:18.640
we couch it in those types of terms,

00:48:18.880 --> 00:48:21.680
then what will happen is the American
people

00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:24.960
will accept the entire socialist

00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:25.920
platform

00:48:27.120 --> 00:48:30.400
almost without realizing it, because
you've

00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:33.680
you've communicated it in a different way.
And

00:48:33.680 --> 00:48:35.920
so that is their plan. And so when

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:38.400
Bernie Sanders talks about health care for
all

00:48:38.480 --> 00:48:41.760
and we should treat everybody well, we can

00:48:41.760 --> 00:48:43.440
have health care for all

00:48:44.560 --> 00:48:47.760
by socializing the system, but if you

00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:51.120
do that, it's gonna be the worst health

00:48:51.120 --> 00:48:53.920
care. You know, in Africa, they have
health

00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:56.960
care for all, but it's very, very poor

00:48:56.960 --> 00:49:00.240
health care. And millions of people die
there.

00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:03.120
Very poor health care. In many of these

00:49:03.120 --> 00:49:06.480
nations, even many of developed nations,
they have

00:49:06.800 --> 00:49:10.000
socialized health care. And their health
care is

00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:12.880
far, far inferior to what we have here

00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.200
in the United States of America. But that

00:49:15.200 --> 00:49:17.200
socialist was right. And even when he was

00:49:17.200 --> 00:49:20.080
telling Reagan, he was saying that they
will

00:49:20.080 --> 00:49:22.960
accept everything that we have to offer if

00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:25.840
we just count it in terms of compassion

00:49:26.160 --> 00:49:26.480
and

00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.000
caring about our neighbor and caring for
our

00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:31.600
neighbor. And this is what the Democrats
are

00:49:31.600 --> 00:49:34.000
trying to do now. They're trying to take

00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:37.440
over health care. And Ronald Reagan also
commented

00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:39.920
that health care was an issue that that

00:49:39.920 --> 00:49:43.120
oftentimes socialists desire to use

00:49:44.080 --> 00:49:46.960
to socialize our entire system. They
wanted to

00:49:46.960 --> 00:49:50.160
get a foothold into health care because if

00:49:50.160 --> 00:49:52.000
they could do it in healthcare, then they

00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:54.640
could do it anywhere. But healthcare sort
of

00:49:54.640 --> 00:49:58.080
tugs at the heartstrings of conservatives
and

00:49:58.160 --> 00:50:01.040
and forces us, not forces us, but it

00:50:01.040 --> 00:50:03.680
certainly uh compels us to give in

00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:07.040
oftentimes when when we when we um

00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:10.480
when they say you know we're we're
heartless

00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:13.520
and we're cruel. And so uh so

00:50:13.680 --> 00:50:16.640
don't be deceived by that. And healthcare
is

00:50:16.640 --> 00:50:18.720
an extremely important issue. It's almost
20% of

00:50:18.720 --> 00:50:21.840
our gross domestic product. Um everyone
will

00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.640
interact with the healthcare system at
some point,

00:50:25.120 --> 00:50:28.560
um but Democrats' plan is to destroy the

00:50:28.560 --> 00:50:30.880
greatest healthcare system that the world
has ever

00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:31.360
seen.

00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:37.040
And if they are allowed to do that,

00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.640
then it will um, you know, we will

00:50:40.720 --> 00:50:43.520
we will see many, many people we'll see

00:50:43.520 --> 00:50:45.520
the uh mortality rate in this country go

00:50:45.520 --> 00:50:48.880
up significantly. You know, we'll see
diseases

00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:51.600
coming about that we're unable to treat
because

00:50:51.600 --> 00:50:55.040
our technological advances is not kept

00:50:55.040 --> 00:50:57.920
up with the with the with the mutation

00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:01.120
of bacteria or viruses. You know, it it

00:51:01.120 --> 00:51:03.440
is uh it is it's gonna be a

00:51:03.440 --> 00:51:06.400
very, very scary thing

00:51:06.640 --> 00:51:09.440
to see what happens when the Democrats are

00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:12.560
allowed to socialize our healthcare
system. It's gonna

00:51:12.560 --> 00:51:15.040
be something that we are uh we do

00:51:15.040 --> 00:51:16.640
not want to experience here. And so I

00:51:16.640 --> 00:51:18.480
think it's important that we win for that

00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:21.440
reason as well. Um if you look at

00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:24.240
the two biggest killers in the United
States

00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:27.760
of America in a developed country, it's

00:51:27.840 --> 00:51:30.480
it's it's heart disease and cancer. You
know,

00:51:30.560 --> 00:51:31.920
if you look at where much of the

00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:34.720
money is being spent in research and
development,

00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:36.560
it's it's heart disease and cancer. And
that's

00:51:36.560 --> 00:51:39.920
where we're making most of the
technological advances

00:51:39.920 --> 00:51:42.880
that are saving lives. You know, PTCAs and

00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:46.000
stents uh in the heart save

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:49.360
lives, uh, bypass surgery, where you

00:51:49.360 --> 00:51:51.680
have a bypass machine, you know, that was

00:51:51.680 --> 00:51:54.800
developed by physicians uh here in

00:51:55.280 --> 00:51:57.440
the city of Houston. And

00:51:58.320 --> 00:52:01.760
it was that it saved many, many lives.

00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:04.320
Um, all these medications that have come
out

00:52:04.320 --> 00:52:06.880
to help protect people who are having uh

00:52:06.880 --> 00:52:09.760
heart attacks, congestive heart failure,
these

00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:13.200
medications are saving, saving lives. And
I think

00:52:13.200 --> 00:52:16.320
it's important that we continue to support
and

00:52:16.320 --> 00:52:19.200
promote a system, the free market

00:52:19.200 --> 00:52:22.000
healthcare system, that has brought about
all this

00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.360
technological advance. Um the Democrats

00:52:25.600 --> 00:52:28.320
are absolutely gonna shut that down if
they

00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:31.040
gain power. Uh they're gonna shut it down.

00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:34.320
And it's gonna, uh we're gonna find
ourselves

00:52:34.320 --> 00:52:36.800
in a situation where we're looking to fly

00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:39.440
to other countries for health care because

00:52:40.240 --> 00:52:43.200
our um our healthcare system will
absolutely

00:52:43.200 --> 00:52:46.160
collapse. We cannot allow that to happen.
We've

00:52:46.160 --> 00:52:47.520
got to push back and we've got to

00:52:47.520 --> 00:52:50.320
fight back hard to make sure that we

00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:52.400
don't allow the Democrats to have any
power

00:52:52.400 --> 00:52:55.200
or foothold in our health care system. Um,

00:52:55.520 --> 00:52:58.240
I know that our state legislature in the

00:52:58.240 --> 00:53:01.440
last legislative session passed um

00:53:02.080 --> 00:53:04.640
hundreds of millions of dollars to be
spent

00:53:04.640 --> 00:53:08.000
uh on Alzheimer's disease. And so I have

00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:10.400
no doubt that there's going to be great

00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:13.200
advances in the in the in the area

00:53:13.200 --> 00:53:15.440
of of Alzheimer's dementia,

00:53:16.240 --> 00:53:19.600
predominantly because of these investments
that

00:53:19.600 --> 00:53:22.960
we're making and the money that's being
spent

00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:26.080
there. And and so and the innovation and

00:53:26.080 --> 00:53:29.440
creativity that is promoting, I think that

00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.600
we need to continue to promote that and

00:53:31.600 --> 00:53:34.480
to continue to innovate. And so um

00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:38.080
health care is an extremely important
issue. Uh,

00:53:38.160 --> 00:53:41.600
we've had tremendous, tremendous advances

00:53:41.760 --> 00:53:44.960
in in health care as a result

00:53:45.120 --> 00:53:45.440
of

00:53:46.320 --> 00:53:49.120
the money that flows through that system.
And

00:53:49.120 --> 00:53:51.280
so uh we've got to promote that and

00:53:51.280 --> 00:53:52.480
continue that. Um

00:53:54.080 --> 00:53:57.520
extremely, extremely important. Democrats'
model for

00:53:57.520 --> 00:54:00.400
health care is just bad health care. Uh

00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:02.880
there everyone's gonna have it, but it's
gonna

00:54:02.880 --> 00:54:05.840
be worse health care we've ever seen.

00:54:06.160 --> 00:54:08.400
And so I think it's gonna be important

00:54:08.720 --> 00:54:10.960
for the country as a whole to understand.

00:54:11.120 --> 00:54:14.320
It's certainly important for suburban
women to

00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:17.520
understand that you are going to have to

00:54:18.400 --> 00:54:21.520
fight hard to prevent Democrats from
gaining a

00:54:21.520 --> 00:54:24.880
foothold because, like I said earlier, all

00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:27.600
the things they want to do are socialize

00:54:27.600 --> 00:54:30.000
our healthcare system, which is which is
going

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:33.040
to destroy our healthcare system. They act
like

00:54:33.040 --> 00:54:34.960
they want to trans all of our kids.

00:54:35.200 --> 00:54:38.080
You know, the the United States Senate
candidate

00:54:38.080 --> 00:54:40.560
here in Texas, Talerico, says he loves
trans

00:54:40.560 --> 00:54:42.240
kids more than anything else.

00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:44.080
And and

00:54:45.680 --> 00:54:48.880
they want to allow criminal, illegal
aliens into

00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:51.280
our country so that they can number one

00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:54.640
demoralize us, and then also so

00:54:54.640 --> 00:54:57.280
that they can have more voters. You know,

00:54:57.360 --> 00:54:59.280
they they want to all these things they're

00:54:59.360 --> 00:55:02.320
they're they want to allow for Sharia

00:55:02.480 --> 00:55:04.880
law, which is kind of the moral component

00:55:04.880 --> 00:55:06.560
of the things that they want to do.

00:55:06.720 --> 00:55:09.920
Uh this red-green alliance is real, and
and

00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:11.440
they want to allow for that to come

00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:14.800
in and be kind of the enforcement

00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:18.080
mechanism, the moral enforcement mechanism
for

00:55:18.080 --> 00:55:20.720
their socialism. Yeah, they want to

00:55:21.200 --> 00:55:23.920
abolish our prisons, and and they want to,

00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:26.400
it's amazing to me that that they want

00:55:26.400 --> 00:55:28.160
to let the criminals out of jail. And

00:55:28.160 --> 00:55:30.080
you see this in a lot of a

00:55:30.080 --> 00:55:33.280
lot of our um liberal cities where

00:55:33.600 --> 00:55:36.720
um Democrats are in control, and Democrat

00:55:36.720 --> 00:55:39.920
judges are letting criminals out of jail
with

00:55:40.240 --> 00:55:42.960
no bond, and they're letting them out,
letting

00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.680
them go free. And so um, but but

00:55:45.680 --> 00:55:48.320
they want to imprison and use law force

00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:51.360
to put law-abiding citizens in jail. And
so,

00:55:51.440 --> 00:55:53.360
like we saw on January 6th, and we

00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:54.560
had a show on that a few weeks

00:55:54.640 --> 00:55:57.600
uh a few months ago. So it is

00:55:57.600 --> 00:56:00.000
so important that we do not allow those
