1
00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.439
<v Speaker 1>It's the stuff these kids that are protesting.

2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:04.000
<v Speaker 2>People aren't talking about.

3
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.719
<v Speaker 1>They are making it so difficult, so chaotic.

4
00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Fifty five krc D Talk Station. It's eighth five here

5
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:15.080
<v Speaker 2>at fifty five rc DE Talk Station. A very happy

6
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Friday eve to you. Bottom of the hour. iHeart met

7
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 2>the aviation expert Jay Ratliff, and of course we will

8
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 2>be talking about that tragedy in Washington, DC in the meantime.

9
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm pleased to welcome to the fifty five krc Morning

10
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Show for the first time, hopefully not the last, John Gordon.

11
00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 2>He is the host of the syndicated radio show The

12
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Truth with John Gordon. Fellow lawyer, he is a graduate

13
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Commercier University Law School in Georgia, business owner, entrepreneur. He's

14
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 2>worked as a journalist and reporter in Making, Georgia as

15
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 2>well as Atlanta, Georgia. Also ran as a Republican candidate

16
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>to be Georgia's age Attorney General back in twenty twenty

17
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.359
<v Speaker 2>two and endorsed by Donald Trump. Welcome to the Morning Show,

18
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:51.159
<v Speaker 2>John Gordon. A real pleasure to have you on today.

19
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:52.799
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much.

20
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Brian my spear not the first person to say it,

21
00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>but it's easy to make the observation Donald Trump hit

22
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>the ground sprinting. I mean, he has accomplished more in

23
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>his first couple of weeks in office than Joe Biden

24
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>could account for in four full years in office. Among

25
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>all of the different things that Trump has done so far,

26
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:14.560
<v Speaker 2>have you been impressed by anything in particular? I mean,

27
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.599
<v Speaker 2>it's an impressive record thus far, and I think most

28
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 2>people are pretty pleased with what's going on.

29
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>There's so much to talk about as hard to pick

30
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>just one. I mean, one of the things I'm ecstatic

31
00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:30.879
<v Speaker 1>about is that he has ordered all federal workers to

32
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 1>report for work, come to work, clock in, sit in

33
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>your desk and work. Don't stay at home and watch

34
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Oprah whatever you're watching, or maybe they're listening to Brian

35
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Thomas for all I know. I'm not sure, but I

36
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>know they're not working to earn their paycheck, and that

37
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>in itself is going to have a tremendous impact because

38
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.959
<v Speaker 1>I predict, as come did that a large percentage of

39
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>those workers are just going to say, oh, if I

40
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.319
<v Speaker 1>have to come to work, forget it.

41
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think that's going to bear fruit. I've seen

42
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>estimates that they believe about ten percent of the federal

43
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>workers will take the buyout option, which will keep them

44
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>with a salary until I guess September. So go on

45
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>vacation and have your salary, but don't come back to work.

46
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:19.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that number is even low. I guess we'll keep

47
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>our pop going out and see what happens. But I

48
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 2>think it's interesting to observe John, and I doubt many

49
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>of my listeners would think that the federal workers, although

50
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 2>we're working remotely when using my quote fingers here, are

51
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>not working remotely at least to the level they would

52
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>have to work if they were in the office. As

53
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>low as that might be. But isn't it a great

54
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>thing to think about when you think none of us

55
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 2>out here in the real world are really bothered by

56
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>the fact that they're not showing up and doing their

57
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>jobs every day. Maybe we can cut well.

58
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm upset about it, and I have been upset about it.

59
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:57.759
<v Speaker 1>I have this paradigm that there's a great number of

60
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.199
<v Speaker 1>workers in government in general. And this is not an

61
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>indictment of every government worker, no, but certainly a large

62
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.240
<v Speaker 1>number of them are lazy. They don't want to work,

63
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>they're taking money that they're not earning and their knee

64
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.599
<v Speaker 1>jerk reaction to every decision that they're asked to make

65
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is simply to say no or to impose their authority

66
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 1>on others. And it's sickening. And I think Trump is

67
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>going to change the model, as he should. You know,

68
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the federal government used to be a model for what

69
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>government should look like. They attracted the best and the brightest,

70
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>and they were in where they were conscientious for the

71
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>most part. Not so today. It has become a morass

72
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:48.159
<v Speaker 1>of laziness and they're unpunishable, and you get their voicemailed.

73
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>They don't respond to emails. It's just untenable. But then

74
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>you know they're rounding up members of the cartels. They

75
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>arrested a guy in New York just day before yesterday

76
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.879
<v Speaker 1>who was one of the guys who had the AK

77
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 1>forty seven that barged into the apartment and commandeered it

78
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>in Aurora, Colorado. Yeah, they have put him in shackles

79
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>and they're hauling his ass and thrown him back into

80
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Guatemala or wherever he was from, maybe Columbia, I'm not sure.

81
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 1>And then the tariffs that Trump is imposing, he's not

82
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 1>being punitive, he's just saying, guys, if you're going to

83
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.759
<v Speaker 1>tear off us, we're going to tear if you back.

84
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>What's wrong with that? And so there's just so much

85
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>right with what he's doing, and that's why people are

86
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>celebrating and joining to support what he is doing because

87
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>he's governing for us. I truly believe he's governing for

88
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.319
<v Speaker 1>the American people.

89
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, no question about it. A populist nature of the

90
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Republican Party these days, moving away from the old days

91
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 2>when they were viewed as the party of big business.

92
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Clearly there's been a sea change in that in the

93
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>alignment of the parties with large businesses. But flipping over,

94
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I was I was blessed to have in studio John

95
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.959
<v Speaker 2>Gordon earlier this morning the Division three Young Marine of

96
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 2>the Year. This young lady sixteen years old is just

97
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>so exceptional. Her name Abby Smith, and I know full

98
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 2>well a young lady like Abby is confident and as

99
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>proud as she is for her country. The idea that

100
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.360
<v Speaker 2>she has truly American values, represents freedom and liberty and

101
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:25.399
<v Speaker 2>understands the importance of those values. Would not be someone

102
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>who would appreciate being forced to deal with DEI classes

103
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:31.319
<v Speaker 2>in the military. I mean these in the American military

104
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.279
<v Speaker 2>as as just one big giant indoctrination camp, much like

105
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the nation's universities. I was pleased to see Donald Trump

106
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 2>roll that back and Pete Heggs, that's all over that.

107
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.759
<v Speaker 2>In terms of restoring the American military to the fighting force,

108
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>it needs to be.

109
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent. The model was upside down, and now

110
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 1>it's being turned back on its feet, and meritocracy and

111
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>confidence and conscientiousness are going to rule the day as

112
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 1>they should, and there's room for everybody. I mean, if

113
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>you're a minority and you have gotten a good education

114
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.879
<v Speaker 1>or you've got a CV that qualifies you, you will receive

115
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:14.360
<v Speaker 1>every consideration for any federal jobs. It as and it

116
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>should be that way. There's no room for discrimination. But

117
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>this notion that because you are a minority you should

118
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>get a job because of the color of your skin

119
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 1>or the place of your birth is lunacy. And so

120
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad to see it coming to an end. And

121
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>so is everybody else except for the socialist Democrats like

122
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris. Everybody else is running tomorrow Largo to kiss

123
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>the ring and tell the president that they support him,

124
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>even his detractors, and Kamala Harris is saying fight, fight, fight.

125
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 1>She I wonder where she got that slogan from. And

126
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>there's no fighting now. The fight is over except for

127
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>America first and the America first. That's what we have

128
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to fight for. And our freedoms, our freedom of speech,

129
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 1>our Second Amendment. Those are the fights, not political infighting

130
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and partisan politics. It's time to join hands as Americans,

131
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 1>come together and do what Trump said, make America great again.

132
00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm all about it, and I think one of the

133
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 2>challenges we face in making America great again is that

134
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.800
<v Speaker 2>so many people have bought into and something I do

135
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>not believe in this religion, that is that we are

136
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>somehow altering the weather by just merely existing. Our exhalation

137
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 2>has been viewed as a pollutant, even though it's plant food.

138
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>And all these efforts to get people in electric vehicles,

139
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean, what no greater illustration than what's

140
00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>happening out in California, the wildfires, at which they blame

141
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.680
<v Speaker 2>on global warming, but we all can point to the

142
00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 2>failed policy positions. But now they're all complaining out there,

143
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and they've issued hazards because the electric vehicles that melted

144
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 2>have created a massive toxic waste dump in Los Angeles,

145
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>and it's rolling in to the oceans and polluting the beaches.

146
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how long do you think they can perpetuate

147
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.839
<v Speaker 2>the myth that electric vehicles are somehow good for the planet.

148
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, you and I can discuss that. I have an

149
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>electric car. I happen to love it. I know that

150
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>right now, godfriends, right now, go aheadkay, right now? Electric

151
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 1>cars and ice vehicles contribute about the same amount to

152
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:36.480
<v Speaker 1>depletion of resources and pollution. The curve is changing. However,

153
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>as batteries are developed, we will require less mining of lithium,

154
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>and we will recycle the batteries and rejuvenate them. I

155
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>am not a tree hugger, I do. I am, however,

156
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a conservationist, and I do believe it is incumbent upon

157
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 1>each of us to leave the planet better than we

158
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.519
<v Speaker 1>found it. I think that long term electric vehicles and

159
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.480
<v Speaker 1>solar is the way to go, and I am a

160
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>scaunch believer in that. But what happened to the EV

161
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>tax credits? I thought Elon Musk was Trump's best friend.

162
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Surely Trump would reward him by leaving the EV tax

163
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 1>credits in place.

164
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 2>How do you reconcile that because you shouldn't need tax credit.

165
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 2>If you build it, they will come. If it's product,

166
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 2>good or service that people actually want and demand, they'll

167
00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>get it. And I know a lot of people have

168
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>electric vehicles, and I understand, I'm a car guy. They

169
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:32.639
<v Speaker 2>have insane acceleration and torque, instant torque. You don't have

170
00:09:32.679 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 2>to wait for a power curve. So from a performance standpoint,

171
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I have total respect for them. But from you know,

172
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 2>along from a duration standpoint, from me, you know how

173
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:42.639
<v Speaker 2>long you're you going to go on a charge standpoint,

174
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>from the charging, the charging up, the battery time that

175
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:46.879
<v Speaker 2>you must spend. I mean know it takes me three

176
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.960
<v Speaker 2>or four minutes to fill my gas tank. I like

177
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the convenience of having the gas station on the corner

178
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>that is reliable and I don't have to worry about

179
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.960
<v Speaker 2>my battery catching on fire and burning down my neighborhood

180
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.639
<v Speaker 2>and before the fire department shows up and spends three

181
00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 2>days trying to put it out.

182
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:03.440
<v Speaker 1>But well, I think there's a bit of hyperbole in that.

183
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>That is not my experience, Brian, I'm not yet. I've

184
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>had my car for three years. Let me tell you

185
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>how many times I've taken it into the service, into

186
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 1>the shop to be serviced. Would you like to guess?

187
00:10:17.799 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Probably none?

188
00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Zero, And I had one defect. The steering wheel started

189
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 1>to delaminate. The leather had come off the steering wheel.

190
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>It was a mess. So I called and before I

191
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.799
<v Speaker 1>got the words out of my mouth, the person on

192
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the other end of the phone said, that's a known defect.

193
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:39.879
<v Speaker 1>If you will make an appointment, bring it in, we'll

194
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:43.519
<v Speaker 1>give you a new steering wheel, no charge. Ten days

195
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>two weeks later, my phone rang and it said, Hey,

196
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 1>this is Billy Bob. I'm with Tesla. I am on

197
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>my way to your house. If you will permit me

198
00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 1>to replace your steering wheel. He came. He was ten

199
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>minutes early. He replaced my steering wheel and the new

200
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>steering wheel came of the horn on it, which my

201
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>old one did not have, which was one of my

202
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.080
<v Speaker 1>complaints about the car. You had to find the button

203
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 1>to hit honk a horn. But it is it is

204
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>an absolute engineering marvel. It's quiet, it's smooth. And I

205
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>drove from my house in West Palm Beach to Miami

206
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago with full self driving autopilot. I told

207
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.879
<v Speaker 1>the car where I wanted to go. I did not

208
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 1>touch the wheel, Gog.

209
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>You're never, ever, ever going to convince me that that's

210
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 2>a good idea. I love to.

211
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>Drive with me, and if I don't, don't think that

212
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 1>it's a good idea. When we're done, I'll buy you

213
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 1>a steak dinner at the restaurant of your choice.

214
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.759
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no. Personally, I don't think it's a

215
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>good idea. Is because I love the act of I

216
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 2>love driving. I enjoy the chess game that exists on

217
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>our crazy roadways. I am constantly paying attention to what's

218
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.639
<v Speaker 2>going on around me. I love paying attention to the road.

219
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I made this comment before. My wife would be like,

220
00:11:57.240 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>you ever see that house around the corner of the

221
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.600
<v Speaker 2>front door and you're driving by. I'm like, no, I'm

222
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>looking at the road when i'm driving. I'm not staring

223
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>at front doors. I love to drive. So you know

224
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>that's the idea of self driving cars. Is this not

225
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.480
<v Speaker 2>even appealing to me? Whether or not it's a technological marble,

226
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:11.679
<v Speaker 2>which I agree that it is.

227
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I got it. But let me pose this question to you.

228
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Would you be willing to sacrifice your own enjoyment of

229
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 1>driving which I relate to. I mean, I stole the

230
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>family car when I was fourteen, Yeah, and drove to

231
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>the drug store because I like to drive so much.

232
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 1>Was as much I love to drive, So I understand.

233
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:34.879
<v Speaker 1>But let me ask you, if you could sacrifice your

234
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>enjoyment and in the process, say forty five thousand American

235
00:12:40.240 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>lives a year that result in traffic fatalities and another

236
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand people who are paralyzed or maamed in

237
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>an automobile, would you be willing to make that accommodation.

238
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm not one of the people that's a thread on

239
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 2>the road because I'm a great driver. Anyhow, moving away

240
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 2>from that, John Gordon, I give it you a Tesla dealership,

241
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 2>don't you, John?

242
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Fifty years, I don't have a point on my license.

243
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I haven't had a scribe, right, I got it all right.

244
00:13:10.200 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Finally, in the taal end of this conversation, speaking of

245
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.879
<v Speaker 2>green energy, do you think that we will ultimately now

246
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>be able to get nuclear power since it doesn't produce carbon,

247
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>it will leave our area in a cleaner position, and

248
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:24.720
<v Speaker 2>it will provide an abundance of energy without having a

249
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:27.840
<v Speaker 2>massive old cooling tower side platform like they used to

250
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.840
<v Speaker 2>have because of modular nuclear plants. France is running on them.

251
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 2>They don't seem to be having a problem. How come

252
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 2>we don't get any.

253
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>The resistance to nuclear power is no different in my

254
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 1>mind than the obsession with DEI. They're both political narratives

255
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that make no sense. Nuclear is safe, it's clean, and

256
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>it's hugely effective. We're going to have a power shortage

257
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>in this country and globally, really and we better just

258
00:13:59.279 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 1>get wise to the fact that we're nuclear needs to

259
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.639
<v Speaker 1>be part of the equation.

260
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Agreement amen to that. I think the fact that we

261
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>don't get any is the illustration that it's not about

262
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 2>how our power is generated, it's about our consumption. And

263
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.360
<v Speaker 2>if we have we have very efficient, abundant nuclear power,

264
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>then our consumption will not drop, our efficiencies will go

265
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 2>up and will become a more successful society, which in

266
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the hearts and minds of the Marxist out there, is

267
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:29.000
<v Speaker 2>a bad thing my impression. John John Gordon Close to

268
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.799
<v Speaker 2>the Truth with John Gordon. That's the syndicated radio show.

269
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 2>You can find them online. I'm sure wherever you get

270
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 2>your podcasts, and it's been a real fun conversation John,

271
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>and good luck with your your ev dealership that I

272
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:39.120
<v Speaker 2>think you own.

273
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 1>No dealership, just ton't want to be But thank you, Brian.

274
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate your respectful conversation this morning. I really enjoyed

275
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 1>it anytime.

276
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>It's been a real pleasure, and I'm sure we'll get

277
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.919
<v Speaker 2>together again, John Gordon, take care and have a great week.

278
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 2>And eight twenty a fifty five K city talk station.

279
00:14:57.120 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Good segment coming up. I Heeart Media aviation expert Jay Ra.

280
00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 2>Of course we do have a lot to talk about,

281
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 2>so stick around, and speaking of electric vehicles, foreign exchange,

282
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 2>they're authorized to service Tesla's now, so in the apparently

283
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:14.639
<v Speaker 2>unlikely event your electric Tesla has a problem, then you

284
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>can get into foreign exchange where you'll save money on

285
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>having it repaired. And of course that's what I always

286
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 2>point out. Foreign exchange is about saving money. You are

287
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.159
<v Speaker 2>not going to sacrifice on the mechanical ability of those

288
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:29.240
<v Speaker 2>ASSE certified technicians working in foreign exchange. They know what

289
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.679
<v Speaker 2>they're doing. They have your manufacturers technical information, whether your

290
00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.919
<v Speaker 2>cars from a traditional Asian or European manufacturer or Tesla

291
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>as the case may be. When you leave, you'll leave

292
00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>with a full warranty on parts and service and more

293
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 2>money in your pocket than if you took it to

294
00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the dealer, significant savings in many, many respects. That's why

295
00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:50.759
<v Speaker 2>I recommend Foreign Exchange and the Westchester location. Austin has

296
00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.320
<v Speaker 2>assembled the most awesome team out there. They'll treat you

297
00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 2>like family. If you want to talk to the mechanic,

298
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.159
