WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:17.199 This is the FCB podcast Network. This is Pillow Talk with Allie Michelle on 2 00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:25.839 the podcast network. Welcome back to an episode of Pillow Talk with Alie Michelle. 3 00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:32.399 I am your host, Alie Michelle. I wanted to record an episode 4 00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:41.399 where I am talking about the student debt relief stuff, and with that we're 5 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.479 getting right into it. Just imagine, okay, put yourself in this shows. 6 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.280 Just imagine being so mad that a single mother who put herself through college 7 00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:59.359 to have a better life for her child to support independently. Okay, she 8 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.040 scored a job, she has her life together, she paid off her own 9 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.519 student debt, and you are mad that you, as a single person, 10 00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:14.599 you yourself alan only have to take care of yourself. You're so mad that 11 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:19.040 she won't pay your student debt. Please explain that to me. And also 12 00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.079 and then okay, so hear me out. Parents have five kids, They 13 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:26.519 put all their kids through college, took out loans to pay the loans, 14 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.840 paid those loans, or just work their bought off and paid off their kids 15 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:34.359 student loan debt. Now imagine being so mad at them that they're not going 16 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:40.319 to pay off your student loan debt. You take out the loan you pay 17 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:45.280 the loan. We as a society have become so comfortable with the fact that 18 00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:52.200 you know somebody else will handle your responsibilities. You're not being held accountable. 19 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.599 It's like taking out a mortgage and saying, you know, I don't want 20 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:59.599 to pay this thirty year mortgage. We need mortgage debt relief. That's so 21 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:05.239 silly, you know what I'm saying. That's just it's just completely ridiculous. 22 00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.280 And I don't think it's your fellow Americans that you need to be angry with. 23 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:15.560 I think it's you know, the amount of the amount that these colleges 24 00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:20.680 are forcing you to pay in order for you to quote unquote be successful in 25 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.479 life. First and foremost, I just want to state you should pick up 26 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.919 a trade. Trades are in such high demand right now. But everybody wants 27 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.039 to be a psychologist, or everybody wants to be a psychiatrist, or everybody 28 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:35.759 wants to just be a counselor, which is great jobs, and I think, 29 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.879 yeah, we do need them. But if you pick up a trade, 30 00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:46.039 you will never not have work. Say, something terrible happens and you're 31 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.800 running little on funds and your husband's out of work, and you know, 32 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:54.919 counseling is just not paying the bills. What about now, say something terrible 33 00:02:55.000 --> 00:03:00.159 happens and your husband's out of work and you're struggling to pay the bills and 34 00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:04.800 all you have, you know, your counseling isn't you know, paying the 35 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.159 mortgage. And you have a trade under your belt, you can go hop 36 00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:13.360 in you know, cut a blue haircut, couple of haircuts, a couple 37 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.240 of hair collars. That's a trade. Beauty school, women beauty school, 38 00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:23.080 or a nail set. Or maybe beauty school isn't your thing. You can 39 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:24.439 get into painting. You really like painting, so you can become a painter. 40 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:30.879 Or you like building, so you become a carpenter or electrician or truck 41 00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.879 driving. There's endless possibilities of blue collar work. Right. We have become 42 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.599 so brainwash set the only way to be successful is getting a degree. And 43 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.159 I'm not saying going to college is terrible. I love learning, I love 44 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:50.800 school, I love everything about it. It's just a little too costly for 45 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:54.159 me, you know what I'm saying. There's so many other routes that people 46 00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:00.599 can go, but we've just become so like I said, brainwash that the 47 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.680 only way to be successful is going to college. But if you do, 48 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.479 and you do choose to go to college, and you you know, you 49 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.439 run through school and you and you get you know, you do your thing. 50 00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:17.560 You do have to pay your own bill. That's just it. Period. 51 00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:23.040 And if you want to, if you are so desperate into believing that 52 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.240 the government will save you every time, you're very wrong and you will be 53 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.399 set up to be disappointed for the rest of your life. Never depend on 54 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:39.399 the government to handle your business. Period. Why would you want to Why 55 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.079 would you want the government to have that over your head for the rest of 56 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.600 You're like, oh, I guess what who paid you? Who paid you? 57 00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.199 And then you're gonna fall for every time when they let you down. 58 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.079 Every single time, every single election season, you hear the same spiel, 59 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.639 especially from Democrats, you hear the same spiel, well, you know, 60 00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:01.000 you know, universal healthcare or abortion in and oh, we'll pay your student 61 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.800 debt. And nothing happens, nothing ever happens. And quite frankly, I'm 62 00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:13.279 glad, I'm glad. I'm glad that it does not happen because it continues, 63 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:15.879 It continues to wake people up, slowly, but it still wakes people 64 00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:23.319 up. But I do feel bad for those that continue to fall for the 65 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:30.160 narrative due to some politicians fake promises. They only care about power and power 66 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:32.639 only. They only care about their agenda and agenda only. And you want 67 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:38.600 to know why people keep bringing up all the pppee loans, You need to 68 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:46.920 really look into what that actually is. And another thing these politicians are don't 69 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.319 care about your money. They don't care about what you're making. If they 70 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:56.279 care about do you need us, because oh guess what, we'll give you 71 00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:03.040 this, We'll give you this. Biden human angus, humongous tax Oh my 72 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.040 gosh, I can't even explain. I can't even fat like, I can't 73 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:10.439 even I can't even get to the point to where I need to break it 74 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.920 down to explain how how our taxes have increased. And he wants to say 75 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:20.480 Bidenomics, Oh, Bidenomics, we're gonna build from the middle, middle out, 76 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.360 not from the top down. Excuse me? Does that? Does that? 77 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.120 You know? Are you holding your son accountable for that as well? 78 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:36.959 They guess he did some crazy stuff. It's just it's insane to me. 79 00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:45.199 It's insane to me that people continue to fall for that rhetoric and these gen's 80 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:53.360 ears are so they so want change, and I think everybody wants to change, 81 00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.120 right, we all want change, we all want a better life, 82 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.720 we all want a healthier earth. There's no doubt, doubt, there's no 83 00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:10.879 doubt that. But they the gen zars are so so manipulative that they believe 84 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.879 it. And I understand because they're young and they need to learn it. 85 00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:17.680 But that's scary that they're praying on the younger generation, literally praying on our 86 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:24.720 younger generation, and the school systems are failing them as well. They're not 87 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:30.079 teaching them the outside part of everything. They're not teaching you know, they 88 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:33.800 only have one They only have one lesson that they want to teach, and 89 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:39.399 that's it. And it's sad. I really feel like millennials had the last 90 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:48.040 chance to have that foundation of learning where we know to look outwards. I 91 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:54.279 had a historian teacher. Okay, he was a legitimate historian and my senior 92 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.720 year at high school and he was off grid, right. He didn't, 93 00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.720 let you know, no cable, no TV. His kids were like in 94 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.959 the woods. It was insane and it was so I didn't I didn't understand 95 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.879 it at the time, but the more I grew up and the more I 96 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.639 have done my own research, I'm like, WHOA, I think his name 97 00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.439 was mister Harris. You literally taught me a valuable life lesson and for that 98 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.519 I'm forever thankful. It could be wrong in his name. I have to 99 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.879 I have to look, but I really do think it's mister Harris. But 100 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.240 he totally off the grid, and he took us to like I think it 101 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.879 was like our only field ship senior year, um where he was. I 102 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:43.279 went to a trade school, and um, he took us to this place 103 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:48.759 where it was in the woods and we saw like, you know, World 104 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:54.240 War One memorabilia and World War Two, and it was it was freaking cool 105 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.679 at that age. Though, I don't think we necessarily understand how critical and 106 00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:01.360 how important it is to know our history. We just you know, we're 107 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.679 being shoved down these dates that we can't ever remember. But I continued my 108 00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:11.279 education in history, in history in my adult years. Actually, these last 109 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:18.559 five years, I've just gone nose deep into learning my history because it is 110 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.159 extremely true when they say history repeats yourself, like just think of it. 111 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.879 Just think of it as like clothing trends. Everything comes back, right, 112 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:31.000 There's always the cycle of oh, retro or you know what I'm saying. 113 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.600 I know it's not the same as clothes, but in the same thought process 114 00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:43.039 of things coming back around, it's totally true. And to understand how we 115 00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:50.960 prevented the negative way of living, how we learned how to not do that. 116 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.720 We can't let that be forgotten. We can't let wars be forgotten. 117 00:09:54.759 --> 00:10:00.159 We can't let slavery be forgotten. We can't let you know, fascism and 118 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.919 socialism be forgotten. We can't let the Holocaust be forgotten. We can't let 119 00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.840 any of this to be forgotten. We can't let our following fathers be forgotten. 120 00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:11.720 We can't let the idea, the idea of what America is, to 121 00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:20.600 be forgotten. We can't remold a freedom of a country that is based strictly 122 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.600 on freedom and you know, prosperity to become a socialist country. We can't 123 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:31.799 allow that to happen or people, or we will fail as a society. 124 00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.519 People are running here, pouring through our borders for a better life, majority 125 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.600 of them, some of them are taking advantage of this and committing heinous crimes 126 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.679 on our citizens. But you have to think, if America is so bad, 127 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:52.240 why are we why why are people pouring into our country and why people 128 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.480 are seeking education in our country? But to rely on the government is what 129 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:03.440 I'm getting. But to rely on the government to solve all problems will only 130 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:09.960 cause more problems. We will no longer be free, we will no longer 131 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:16.240 have the equal opportunities that we have. We will no longer have competition, 132 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:26.200 which then creates you know, scientific breakthroughs or medicine, or thriving businesses or 133 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.639 people who will be successful in this life because we're all said at the same 134 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.240 amount. How equal. That doesn't sound like equal to me in theory sounds 135 00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:41.320 great in reality, it's not. And with that, I'm going to let 136 00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.159 you guys go. Thank you so much for joining my podcasts. I love 137 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:50.919 the support for those that continue to share and continue to listen to my episodes. 138 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:56.720 You are true rock stars and you are helping a girl's dream come true. 139 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:07.039 And remember America is the best country. It has been the most successful 140 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:13.240 country. And just remember we're all in this together. We all want the 141 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:18.879 same thing. We all want we all want the same thing. And with 142 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:37.200 that, I will see y'all next week.
