It is Phil, not Bill. 17 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: Oh Phil, I'm sorry. Hello Phil, that's fine. 18 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,359 Speaker 3: You had comment on climate change and I wanted to 19 00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:58,119 pass on one of the best guys I've seen at 20 00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:03,759 analyzing climate. His name is Sean Hackett h A c 21 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,400 k E T T. He is basically an investment guy 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:14,239 who advises multinational corporations, large farm groups. That sort of 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,760 thing on what to expect with the coming climate is 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,000 number one, two, and three. Factors that impact climate are 25 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:33,640 number one sun spot activity, number two planetary gravitational influences, 26 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,640 and number three volcanoes. He's been and it's incredible how 27 00:01:39,719 --> 00:01:44,680 accurate he is. He's predicted the like last year or 28 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,359 two about how coffee prices would be going up due 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:57,719 to dry conditions in Africa, also coffee prices impacted by weather. 30 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,040 And the fourth thing he did say that you might 31 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:09,360 could argue has a human influence with the cutting down 32 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:14,439 of rainforest because they produce rain and impact crops. 33 00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:14,719 Speaker 4: That sort of thing. 34 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 3: So he was asked how human activity had impacted climate, 35 00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,000 and he said his studies would go back centuries, back 36 00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:32,719 to like, you know, twelve hundred and eleven, and I 37 00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:36,479 mean he goes back centuries. Is he wouldn't say that 38 00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:41,840 human activity did not impact climate, but he said, based 39 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,360 on his studies, it is not measurable. So if someone 40 00:02:46,439 --> 00:02:49,080 brings him evidence that it is, he would consider it. 41 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,199 But it kind of blows out. 42 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 5: Of the water. 43 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 3: A lot of the people who say that human activity 44 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,560 is our main problem with climate change, I think. 45 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing the number of companies that do. 46 00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:05,919 They have to look ahead you hit something on the head, 47 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,599 which is an economic argument that companies. The more companies 48 00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,199 can look ahead down the road thirty sixty, ninety one 49 00:03:12,479 --> 00:03:16,120 and eighty days and anticipate things, especially those that rely 50 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,719 on weather conditions for shipping or growing or anything like that, 51 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,960 they do rely on people like Sean. They do rely 52 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:26,639 on people like Joe Bastarti, who's the founder of Weatherbill Analytics. 53 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,599 These guys do. Joe is a historical guy. He looks 54 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,560 at historical data over the past since we've started accumulating data, 55 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,479 and looks at patterns, and the patterns are predictive of 56 00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:39,479 what will happen next. And he can do that three 57 00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:41,960 six months down, not always one hundred percent, pretty good, 58 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,960 and I think you're spot on. He would say the 59 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,280 same thing. It's it's it's hard to pinpoint that's it. 60 00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:49,479 But it may doesn't it make it. I think it's 61 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,400 like any other conspiracy. It's easy to say this is 62 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,840 what's going on. It's easy to say, well, that's it, 63 00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,479 that's it, we caused it all. That's whenever there's a problem. 64 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,840 It's not that it's complex. It's not that the volcano 65 00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,319 in Indonesia could have affected the weather here. It's that 66 00:04:05,599 --> 00:04:07,439 you know what we did it. We're driving too many 67 00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:09,719 sus we burned too much old. Therefore, all of these 68 00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:11,639 weather things are caused by you. 69 00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 6: So well, Phil ahead, one last comment is he said 70 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,040 that based on the sunspot activity, which is abnormally low 71 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,920 right now, and given the planetary alignments, this has. 72 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,879 Speaker 3: Not been seen since the nineteen thirties and will extend 73 00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:35,480 through the end of the Desk decade, and it could 74 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,199 produce similar problems like the dust bowl of the nineteen thirties. 75 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,319 Speaker 2: Yep, and I've seen a lot. You're right. The sunspot 76 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,600 activity is quite low, and they call it the the 77 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,839 monitor minimum m A U N D ER. I think 78 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:52,360 it's it's a documented cyclical thing with sunspots, and it 79 00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,120 is pretty low right now. So man, Phil, I appreciate 80 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,199 you listening. I appreciate you calling in, and thanks for 81 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,319 being a part of a previous radio audience. I thank 82 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,360 you for that. Okay, So thank you Phil, and I 83 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,839 those are the kind of points and what I liked 84 00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:11,079 about what Phil said, He didn't he didn't call anybody names. 85 00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:13,600 He wasn't angry about what he was sharing with you. 86 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,360 I'm not angry about it. I think that discussion and 87 00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:21,079 debate is one of the strengths of human kind. You know, 88 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,800 when you've got an alpha male and a wolf pack 89 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,959 and it goes on the hunt, the other wolves don't 90 00:05:24,959 --> 00:05:28,079 have the ability to say, hey, look, Fred, that elk 91 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,800 over here, it's the one we really should be going 92 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160 on because the one you're chasing, two of our guys 93 00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:34,600 are going to get killed when they try to take 94 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,000 him down. 95 00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:36,519 Speaker 7: That is it. 96 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,199 Speaker 2: But that's the problem with a narrative like that. And 97 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,199 when when Fauci and I think the branch Coavidians, the 98 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,399 people that stood up and said, you know, the mass work, 99 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,079 when Fauci became the point man, the odd little alpha 100 00:05:51,319 --> 00:05:55,120 dog on the COVID stuff, when he said I represent science, 101 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,519 that was the moment you should have known this guy 102 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,040 doesn't represent science, because nobody says that he doesn't represent science. 103 00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:06,920 He represented a perspective that was debatable at best. It 104 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,839 was debatable, and a lot of what he said wasn't 105 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,279 supported by science, and that's the problem with that perspective. 106 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,439 And I think bringing debate and bringing more scientific inquiry 107 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:22,279 into these things is germane and useful. And I think 108 00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,920 we get lulled into thinking when we moved to the 109 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,439 coast or the mountains or whatever, we think, oh, it's 110 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:29,319 always been this way. We go to the coast, it's 111 00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:31,040 always been this way. A hurricane every now and then. 112 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,959 But when it happens to you, your immediate thing is, 113 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,639 that's never happened to me before. This must be the worst. Ever, 114 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,720 how did anyone ever experience this before me? Therefore, all 115 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,360 climate change caused it. Absolutely, That's why the beaches are 116 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,920 being eroded and why my house got destroyed because of 117 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:47,600 climate change. Never mind that the beaches have been moving 118 00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,360 for millions of years and they're going to continue. I mean, 119 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,800 you would be astounded at how much you the taxpayers, 120 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,319 are spending to import sand from miles off shore and 121 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,360 replenish your beaches. Here. You're doing it, and you know, 122 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,639 and and the mountains we appreciate, and we have to 123 00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:03,519 spend money to take care of them. But to the beaches. 124 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,480 Those beaches are on the move on the march, but 125 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,079 they generate a lot of tourist money for North Carolina, 126 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,680 so we have to save them, protect them and keep 127 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,600 them from moving even though we're building on sand. Yes, sand, 128 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:18,199 that's sand. So that being said again, thank you so 129 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:19,319 much for the phone call. 130 00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: For over a month now, I have been reminding you 131 00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:26,040 to preserve your precious photos and slides, films, and tapes 132 00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:29,439 with Creative Video based in mint Hill.

What's on your brain. 150 00:08:28,759 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 4: I was calling about. 151 00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 5: You were saying something about the tough logistics of deporting 152 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,080 people back to their countries of origin all the people. 153 00:08:36,759 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 4: Yes, I don't see what the problem is with that. 154 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 5: I mean, you can solve that by asking them all 155 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,200 one question, where did you come in at? Then you 156 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,440 deport them to where they came in at. It's not 157 00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:53,200 our responsibility to get them back to their country of origin. 158 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,519 They made it to the border. They know how to 159 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,440 get back from the border to their home. 160 00:08:57,919 --> 00:08:58,919 Speaker 7: That's up to them. 161 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: Okay. Now let's take that from that perspective, which I 162 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,080 don't think is a bad one. Okay, I'm not disagreeing 163 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,600 with you that that's a splendid idea. Get them, just 164 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,159 dump them on the Mexican or Canadian border wherever their 165 00:09:10,159 --> 00:09:13,240 point of entry was, take them back there. My perspective 166 00:09:13,399 --> 00:09:16,720 was just imagine. I remember in the nineties when Will 167 00:09:16,759 --> 00:09:18,679 wrote his column. And I don't always agree with George 168 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,799 Will have known him for a long time, but his 169 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,919 point was it would you would line up buses from 170 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,360 basically the border almost to the Canadian border through California, 171 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,840 just to get you know, four million people on buses alone. 172 00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,360 We're talking about ten to eleven million people, the entire 173 00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:37,840 population of North Carolina. I just said, logistically, even if 174 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:40,679 you were taking them to five different points on the 175 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:44,240 southern border, getting them there is the logistical problem. First 176 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,600 you have to find them, then you have to gather 177 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,399 them up, and then you have to arrange transportation for them. 178 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,320 I didn't say it was impossible, but don't let's not 179 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,440 pretend it's easy. I'm on your side. I think the 180 00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:58,840 fact that we've let that many in is a travesty, 181 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,840 that's almost treason. So you let an invading army put 182 00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:05,080 that many people on your soil, you don't win those wars. 183 00:10:05,399 --> 00:10:08,080 You just don't. And so this is one of those things. 184 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,159 We have to do it. But let's not pretend that 185 00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:13,159 on day one Trump can deport eleven million people. You know, 186 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600 there's got it. It's going to be a difficult task. 187 00:10:15,639 --> 00:10:18,080 It's going to take a lot of agencies, and not 188 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,360 only that, you're gonna have to fight some people and 189 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,240 some cities and some of the sanctuary ps that's out 190 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,360 there that's going to push back and not help. They're 191 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,919 going to hinder and just hope to run the clock out. 192 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,519 So I agree with you it needs to be done. 193 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,440 Yours shortens it. We don't have to fly them all 194 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,960 the way back to Venezuela or Ecuador, you know, or 195 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,039 or get trying to Agua down back to the El 196 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,279 Salvador or something. You just have to get them to 197 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,399 where they came in and make sure they don't come back. 198 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,879 So yeah, got to do. But I man, Blaine, I 199 00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:48,159 appreciate you listening, and you're right. So that's that's one 200 00:10:48,159 --> 00:10:49,039 cost saving right there. 201 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,879 Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, you have a good one. 202 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,159 Speaker 2: You too appreciate the call. And by the way, I 203 00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:58,200 do want to mention one other thing here as we're 204 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,240 going through our wonderful so jarn.

Please consider a donation to City of 213 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:29,639 Hope CLT dot org today that City of Hope CLT 214 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:36,720 dot org and thank you. That deportation thing is it 215 00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:39,759 is no doubt there is. I think people were made 216 00:11:39,879 --> 00:11:45,320 excuse me, I know people are in have become increasingly 217 00:11:45,519 --> 00:11:50,200 angered by the tone deafness of the political left. I 218 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,799 mean Obama actually deported illegals. Clinton did. Republicans and Democrats 219 00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:59,600 alike have always had some degree of agreement that you 220 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,600 need to have a legal status. It was it was 221 00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:06,600 during this woke transition to where Democrats, some who have 222 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,600 now become their mainstream, started saying, you can't call them illegal. 223 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,240 No human is illegal. And then you had a bunch 224 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,039 of Democrats trying to compare this to Christian faith. You know, 225 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,799 Jesus wouldn't have turned them away. Well, Jesus wasn't running 226 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,679 the Roman Empire, nor did he make comments about that. 227 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,120 It was you know, they were actually in an occupied land. 228 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,840 Jesus was the Roman army had invaded. They were the 229 00:12:30,879 --> 00:12:33,720 occupiers of that land. This has nothing to do with that, 230 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:36,080 and it's not about being heartless. It is about the 231 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,799 fact that a country has a responsibility to its citizens 232 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,559 to look after them, to care for them, to protect them. 233 00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,559 That is our obligation as a country. Now, what you 234 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,559 can do to help your fellow man, do that, Do 235 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,679 it with your heart, do it with all you can. 236 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,200 But let's not pretend that you can just absorb another 237 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,720 culture and not have an impact yours from an illegal standpoint, 238 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,799 and and the fact that Democrats started embracing they're not 239 00:13:03,879 --> 00:13:09,240 illegal is absurd. What that essentially tells you is that 240 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,519 if they're not illegal, then we're not Americans, meaning that 241 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,559 if no human being is illegally in another country, why 242 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,720 wouldn't you just have all of them come over, just 243 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,720 dissolve the border between all nations? How do you how 244 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,399 do you take care of that? How do you manage that? 245 00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:25,799 Speaker 7: How? 246 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 2: Especially the irony here is that Democrats want to keep 247 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,600 tags and tabs and tags on everybody they want. They 248 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,559 want to go after everybody. You got to pay yours. 249 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,080 You gotta pay yours as the rich, you know, got 250 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,960 to go after them. So you want to soak one 251 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,480 group of people, but you don't even know who the 252 00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:42,120 other group is. Would you open it up to the cartels. 253 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,840 Let them just come across the border now, of course not, 254 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,519 and who knows it may be we may be at 255 00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:50,759 that clear and present danger. Tom Clancy way of looking 256 00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:52,759 at things, where the military goes out and takes out 257 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:56,559 these cartels. They're as powerful as many countries. They have 258 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,720 the money, they have a standing army, they have arms, 259 00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:02,720 they could invade, and in some places on the southern 260 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:06,639 border they kind of have operational control inside our borders. 261 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,080 It's hard to believe the border's that big. Imagine the 262 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,480 entire length of North Carolina, then double it, maybe triple it, 263 00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,320 and then you get closer to how big that border is. 264 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,720 That's a massive border drive for hours and hours. That's 265 00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:25,000 you know, it's not some tiny space. It's ginormous. And 266 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,720 so if you have a country, then those people that 267 00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:32,440 are in that country have responsibility and the governance, the 268 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,279 governing of it requires you protect them, and that means 269 00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:38,440 from enemies. And if I don't know who you are. 270 00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:40,799 The assumption is if you come to my country, if 271 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,120 I were to say there's a battalion of seven million 272 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,879 coming across our border, we don't know anything about them. 273 00:14:47,159 --> 00:14:49,759 We don't know if they mean US ill will and 274 00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,519 they have they crossed all at once. If seven million 275 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:55,799 people just came right across at once in and invaded 276 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,200 every state and sent, you know, four hundred thousand or 277 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,399 five hundred thousand people into every state, you would think 278 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,240 that was an army. That looks like an army, it 279 00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:06,279 acts like an army. And just because it's spread out 280 00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:09,200 over a few years instead of all it wants, the 281 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:13,080 distinction is not a distinction with a difference. It's still 282 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,879 the impact of those people doing what they can to live, thrive, 283 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,559 and survive within our system that does confer upon them benefits, 284 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,200 whether it be public education, or welfare services or hotels 285 00:15:24,399 --> 00:15:27,799 in cities like New York. There's a cost not to 286 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,919 mention the legal system because it's not that these are 287 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,200 all great players here. It doesn't have to be a 288 00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:34,960 large percentage. I mean, people have Democrats say, well, there's 289 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,519 other people that got raped in gold. It's not the 290 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:39,360 migrants anymore than anyone else. Well, the fact that one happened, 291 00:15:39,559 --> 00:15:41,320 If those are illegal, they weren't supposed to be here. 292 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,799 We have enough crime without that influx of additional crime. 293 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,960 But it is a new year coming up. It's just 294 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,720 surprising that Democrats gave up that even Roy Cooper and 295 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,720 Josh Stein do not want to talk about that. They 296 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,799 don't want to talk about Sineloa. They barely can talk 297 00:15:59,799 --> 00:16:03,000 about fentanyl being a southern border problem because their party 298 00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:06,440 owns this crisis and they have precious little to say 299 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,200 about it. They could be, you know, normal people and 300 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200 say this is a problem. They could challenge their own party, 301 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:12,879 say we got to fix this. It's hurting our people. 302 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,000 But even they and Democrats in North Carolina, at some 303 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,840 point they're going to be connected nationally and it's going 304 00:16:18,879 --> 00:16:21,919 to hurt them. It's going to just crush them. Because 305 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:23,279 we in North Carolina, I got a stand up to 306 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,039 the Democrats that are against this kind of stuff. 307 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,159 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, real quick, if you would like to 308 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,039 get your product or service in front of about ten 309 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,000 thousand people multiple times a day, send me an email 310 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:37,320 at Pete at thepeteclendarshow dot com and ask me about advertising. 311 00:16:37,639 --> 00:16:41,000 It's super affordable, it's baked into this podcast forever, and 312 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,440 podcasts have a higher conversion rate than other social media platforms, 313 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,679 making it the best bang for your buck.

Well, yeah, let's go to the simple ones first. 321 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,119 And as a problem with the criminals that have been caught, Okay, 322 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,119 you've already got him. He don't got to go look 323 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,200 for him, at least, I hope you don't got to 324 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,920 look for him. Where you put somebody in jail, but 325 00:17:16,039 --> 00:17:18,039 usually stay there for at least well enough for the 326 00:17:18,039 --> 00:17:21,039 paperwork to dry. So okay, you've already got him. That 327 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,480 cost has already been taken care of. 328 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,559 Speaker 4: Okay. 329 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,319 Speaker 8: As for the costs of getting rid of them, okay, now, 330 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:30,920 how much does it cost to incarcerate one of these guys, 331 00:17:31,039 --> 00:17:34,640 people for say even six months, Let's say it's seventy 332 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,000 thousand dollars. You other tell us that's thirty five thousand. 333 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,799 You're telling me we can't get these big people back, 334 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,480 just one individual back to the country for thirty five 335 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,839 less than thirty five thousand dollars I'll take that job. 336 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,000 I'll take them one at a time, no problem, for 337 00:17:51,079 --> 00:17:53,599 thirty five weeks pop. You get a whole lot of 338 00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:54,640 people will and take them back. 339 00:17:56,079 --> 00:17:58,599 Speaker 2: Well, you've got you know, just in the federal system alone, 340 00:17:58,599 --> 00:18:00,759 you've got about thirty three if you add them up, 341 00:18:00,799 --> 00:18:03,839 thirty one hundred maybe a little over one hundred and 342 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,200 some thousand in the federal system. The ones that are 343 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,319 in jail, whether they're in the county jail, the state jail, 344 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,160 or the federal prison, all of those are easy. Although 345 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,640 you don't want to necessarily turn over Joaquin Guzman back 346 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,400 to the Sinaloa cartel, I mean you don't. There are 347 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,279 certain people that are eminent threats to the US, no 348 00:18:21,319 --> 00:18:23,960 matter how illegal they are, the fact that we got 349 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,359 him here through extradition or whatever. But you're right, the 350 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:27,799 ones that. 351 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 8: Are not the extraditions, ones we caught came across our 352 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,759 bor illegally and committed a crime in our country on 353 00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:36,319 our curve. 354 00:18:36,839 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 2: Yes, those are easy to get. Now, those yes we 355 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,480 can get them. And that's but that is a small 356 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:48,079 percentage right there. Well, I don't know Homan Homan right. 357 00:18:48,799 --> 00:18:50,960 Tom Holman has asserted that he can get those out 358 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,039 pretty quickly, he said, those he can expedite, and those, 359 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,039 like you said, they're already waiting. They're essentially in a 360 00:18:57,079 --> 00:19:00,480 holding cell somewhere. They can be deported pretty The ones 361 00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:03,119 that you know that we don't know about. You know 362 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,880 that the Biden administration assigned to court date too and 363 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,359 just turn them loose, catch and release kind of program 364 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,759 that they had, And that's where and then once they 365 00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:14,200 realize they're being you know, they're going people are going 366 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,519 after them. They're going to be even more difficult to catch. 367 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:18,759 And it's a matter of how do you prior I 368 00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:20,599 mean they will, they'll they'll prioritize it. 369 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 8: But if they're being a productive member of our society 370 00:19:24,279 --> 00:19:27,680 and obeying the laws, leave them alone, Give them my 371 00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:30,640 freaking green card, give the sayisens and give whatever. Let 372 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,279 them pay taxes, increase our tax base. 373 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: So do you wanna do you want to encourage that? 374 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,240 Would would would you want to encourage several hundred thousand 375 00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:41,440 more to come across if the only law they break 376 00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:42,480 is coming here illegally? 377 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,039 Speaker 8: Well that I'm saying, the ones are already here. 378 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 2: Okay, I just didn't want to create I thought you 379 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,000 were trying to create an incentive for more to come. 380 00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:56,279 You're trying to say the ones there there will be. Look, legally, 381 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,079 you've got you've got the Dreamers, you know, the the 382 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,640 DACA folks. There's going to be. There has to be 383 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,799 some reform on our immigration laws. There's just no other 384 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,480 way around that. We have an illegal problem, we have 385 00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:13,599 we have criminal problem, and we have a DACA dreamer problem. 386 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,519 So you're right, there are there are various stages of 387 00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,440 where people are along that spectrum. I don't know where 388 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,359 they draw the line, and that's where the law has 389 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,519 to be clarified. And I think you would agree with 390 00:20:23,559 --> 00:20:25,079 that regardless of huh. 391 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 8: This country needs people willing to work. Trust me, the company. 392 00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 2: I work it does. 393 00:20:31,319 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 8: If we could, we'd take hundreds of them in the 394 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,240 same day as they're willing to work. 395 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 2: I think that you're going to see the discussion has 396 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,559 to be had. It can't be ignored, though, and I 397 00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:44,279 think one of the things we did was we just 398 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,119 ignored it for the past four years. And I don't 399 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,079 think either party can choose to ignore it any form. 400 00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:52,720 But Sam, I appreciate that, and you're right. I mean, 401 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,880 we have a worker issue and we don't we aren't 402 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,160 replacing Americans, and so there has to be an immigration thing. 403 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,440 If we're not having kids, we want to exist in 404 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,599 you know, one hundred and twenty years. So I appreciate 405 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:03,200 the call, Sam. 406 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:03,559 Speaker 5: Thank you. 407 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:08,559 Speaker 2: Now from Sam over to Stan and Stan, you're wanting 408 00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:11,279 to talk about the hippo laws, I believe. 409 00:21:11,839 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 9: Yes, correct. So I've worked for some parts of my 410 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,359 life indirectly with the healthcare system, and after watching it 411 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,119 for some time, I've come to a conclusion. I only 412 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,920 see if you agree with my conclusion. People think that 413 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,839 hippo laws are to protect my information from people like you. 414 00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:29,880 You know what I mean. But what I've come to 415 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,599 realize is is that if I can't know yours and 416 00:21:32,599 --> 00:21:35,160 you can't know mine, then we don't have any idea 417 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,000 how well the system is functioning. So I've come to 418 00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:42,559 conclusion that is to protect take them from us, because 419 00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:45,319 we can't know how Obamacare is doing, in Medicare and Medicaid, 420 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,880 how insurance is eactually working. If we can't know the 421 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,759 records of people who are getting treated. 422 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,839 Speaker 2: Through the system, now that's fascinating. I had I hadn't 423 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,720 heard that perspective before. I would say that, you know, 424 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,400 you're talking about the health insurance portability and accountability. It's 425 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,000 a hippo. It's a nice acronym. 426 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:02,319 Speaker 8: We have it. 427 00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:05,319 Speaker 2: It's been around since the nineties. So that's the you 428 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,160 don't share information. Now I would be concerned or not 429 00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:11,400 me personally, Well, yeah, I would be. It is that 430 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,880 you have this information and it's shared with companies so 431 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,319 they can forbid, they cannot ensure you. It's a way 432 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,200 for insurance. That's what part of it is. Is so 433 00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:21,960 that the insurance companies don't say, ah, you you've got 434 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,680 a genetic pre disposition for this, so you're going to 435 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,480 be covered for everything but that and also when you 436 00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:30,680 see you know right, and so ancestry. 437 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 9: Created for something good. But it is that understanding is 438 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,519 that the free market pays for most of health care. 439 00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:39,079 If I paid for my own, well, I had to 440 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,720 own private insurance compan I could negotiate a private agreement 441 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,839 with them. But once you let the government take over 442 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,640 providing a majority of health care, all of a sudden, 443 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,839 your insurance company knows your health care records. The government does. 444 00:22:49,839 --> 00:22:53,319 People who do medicate, Medicare does, but the best of 445 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,640 us can't. So we can't make a judgment on how 446 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,759 well public healthcare is actually working. 447 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: And Stan, you're making the case, making the case for 448 00:23:01,519 --> 00:23:04,279 more of a privatization and government getting out of the way. 449 00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:07,599 You're right, we don't know how well things are working. 450 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,920 We had It's very difficult to get statistics on this stuff. 451 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,400 That's why it's so cluegy, because people confuse health insurance 452 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,160 with health care. They're not the same. Health insurance mask 453 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,839 the actual cost of health care. Americans have no idea 454 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,319 what they're paying for. Hospitals can't even tell you. That 455 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,759 was one of Dale Folwell's arguments. The hospital couldn't even 456 00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:26,960 tell them how much a knee replacement costs and wouldn't 457 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,720 aggregate things out. So it's hard to fix something when 458 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,079 you don't know what the facts are. 459 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 9: And hippos presign to prevent us a knowing it is. 460 00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 2: I can't say that you got a wrong point there. Stan. 461 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,440 I appreciate you calling okay, take care now, and that's 462 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,799 again there's a lot of a student observations out there. 463 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,240 I even think Sam's point about the illegal situation, what 464 00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:51,839 he's saying may many of you may be screaming at 465 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,519 your radios or your your devices right now. Saying, you know, 466 00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:56,799 Sam's out of his mind. But Sam's making a point 467 00:23:56,799 --> 00:23:59,680 that many companies will making. If you dumped all eleven million, 468 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,759 there would be companies that would be crippled by that. 469 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,400 And they're supposed to have, you know, they're supposed to 470 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,119 have certifications that these people are working for them legally. 471 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,799 I can't remember what one. This is a big issue, 472 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,799 has been for years. I wish I remember the paperwork 473 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,519 right this second. But that's one of the significant problems 474 00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:19,640 with this is that they can come here and work, 475 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:22,000 They can come here and get into the trades they can, 476 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,640 and the country rewards many of these that are once 477 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,759 they cross here and they are illegally here, but at 478 00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:32,079 the same time they're abiding by many others. Now I've 479 00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:33,920 had I happen to know many of the trades, and 480 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,880 what they'll do is they'll create a roofing company or 481 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,400 a construction company and create an LLC because somehow they 482 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,359 figured out a way to do that, and they have 483 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,839 to have a legit person here legally, and then they'll 484 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,920 fold up shop and create the same company with the 485 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,039 new LLCs to protect any of the work that was done. 486 00:24:49,079 --> 00:24:53,640 So there is a lot that this is a complicated issue. 487 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,960 It's not easy. But you have to have immigration laws 488 00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:00,400 or you don't have a country. Phone lines still up. 489 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,480 I've got plenty to talk about, but you guys come first. 490 00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:04,079 You know why, because that's what I said when I 491 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,960 started the show. It's always learned everyone, So Stan appreciate it, Tommy, 492 00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:09,839 Welcome to the show. How are you today? 493 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 7: Well at Butler, Pennsylvania, when Trump got shot in the ear, 494 00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:17,759 it's reported that he said that he heard a bullet 495 00:25:17,799 --> 00:25:23,079 whizz by first. So the bullet is whizzing by, it 496 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,680 is sub sonic. What mister Crooks was shooting at him 497 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,960 with was AR fifteen. It goes about three times the 498 00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:36,119 speed of sound, and it doesn't whizz. You can't hear 499 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,319 it coming. When it goes by, pops like a firecracker 500 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,839 went by, and I know that from Vietnam pet So 501 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,720 it breaks the sound barrier and you hear a little 502 00:25:46,759 --> 00:25:50,359 sonic boom all down the trail of that bullet. So 503 00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:55,440 you could hear it. When the cameras were running watching Trump, 504 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,279 you hear a pop pop. Trump grabs his ear and 505 00:25:58,319 --> 00:26:01,759 he ducks that pop pop was the sonic boom of 506 00:26:01,799 --> 00:26:05,920 those bullets going by. From mister Crook's rifle. But mister 507 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,680 Trump said he heard a bullet whiz by. So this 508 00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:12,119 supersonic bullets whizz they popped. 509 00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 2: What do you know? 510 00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 7: It was subsnic and that means there was another shooter. 511 00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to get into a deep debate here, 512 00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:21,319 but we do know there were multiple shots because another 513 00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:26,559 individual was killed right in line with Trump's head, so 514 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,119 to speak, behind Trump from that angle that the shooter 515 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,880 was shooting from. I'm not debating whether it was the 516 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,119 second shooter with him, just saying, and do you know 517 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,039 what the grain on the bullets he was using, was 518 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,240 using the four gram five gram? Do you know seventy 519 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,599 seven grain or fifty five grain? Because some of them 520 00:26:40,599 --> 00:26:43,599 traveling about thirty two hundred feet somewhmer twenty seven hundred feet, 521 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,880 you know, as I recall, but that's. 522 00:26:46,519 --> 00:26:50,039 Speaker 7: All, we would all be supersonic. And I've heard an 523 00:26:50,039 --> 00:26:54,200 interview of the two fellows that survived being shot. One, 524 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,599 the younger one, had his ribs broken, which was probably 525 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:03,039 very likely supersonic. The other, older gentleman was walking with 526 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,920 a cane and he still was still had the bullet 527 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,799 in him. He said it was close to his colon, 528 00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:12,279 and it was very uncomfortable. I'd sure like to see 529 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,240 that bullet when it comes out. I bet you it's 530 00:27:14,279 --> 00:27:16,599 subsnic Well. 531 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,079 Speaker 2: It'll be interesting. Again. I'm there are a number of 532 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,799 people that think like you. I am not one of those, 533 00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:23,359 but I'm not going to debate you on it because 534 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,839 you have a reason thought about the different types of 535 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,880 ammunition used, and I wasn't aware that there was the 536 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,519 other individual with a bullet in them. But it'll be, 537 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,680 you know what, more truthful. God guarantee you. Hey, if 538 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,920 Trump is interested in exposing what's going on in Area 539 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,519 fifty one and whether or not we have alien spacecraft, 540 00:27:37,759 --> 00:27:39,759 I'll guarantee you he wants to know more about what 541 00:27:39,799 --> 00:27:41,160 happened when he almost got killed. 542 00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 7: So well, they already they had a picture of the bullet. 543 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,359 They had a picture of it. Did you happen to 544 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:46,720 see that? 545 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 2: I have not. I have not the one that killed 546 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,319 the gentleman. 547 00:27:50,039 --> 00:27:51,599 Speaker 7: After another, the one who had a picture of the 548 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,680 bullet on the camera, and it would have been subsigonic. 549 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:55,160 I bet you. 550 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I appreciate you sharing that. Now the audience 551 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,039 has heard your version of that one. So I appreciate it. Okay, 552 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,680 and thank you Tommy, and thank you for calling, thank 553 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,359 you for listening. And Billy, welcome to the show. How 554 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,000 are you good? 555 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,759 Speaker 4: How are you doing today? 556 00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:12,599 Speaker 2: I am wonderful. 557 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 4: How are you good? 558 00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 3: Hey? 559 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 4: I just want to make a comment. You know, when 560 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,480 it comes to health insurance, health not health insurance, but 561 00:28:19,559 --> 00:28:22,079 insurance in general, it used to be, you know, you're 562 00:28:22,079 --> 00:28:25,880 spreading your risks. People at higher with are charged a 563 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,680 greater amount. You know, if you live on the coast, 564 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,359 of course, your insurance can be a little more than 565 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,880 somebody who you know lives in Charlotte. However, when it 566 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,960 comes to health insurance, insurance companies are not allowed to 567 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,960 do that because if they do that, they're discriminatory, are 568 00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:46,000 racist or whatever. So I mean, I just you know, 569 00:28:46,079 --> 00:28:48,559 I'm not a big component of insurance companies that they 570 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:53,160 need to make a profit. I understand that. However, you know, 571 00:28:53,319 --> 00:28:55,839 if you have a certain condition. To me, if you're 572 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,359 a smoker, you should be charged considerably more. But you know, 573 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,319 eventually smoking is going to be in an illness, or 574 00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:05,759 drug addiction is going to be in the illness. Something 575 00:29:05,799 --> 00:29:09,240 you can't prevent. It's genetic. So there you go. Now, 576 00:29:09,359 --> 00:29:13,079 you can't do that. If you're a woman. They're charged 577 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,680 more if they're childbearing. However, we'll get to a point 578 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,359 where we can't do that either. So it's almost like 579 00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:24,200 the educational system when it comes to the racial divide. 580 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,680 Instead of elevating the children who are not performing well 581 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:34,799 to a higher level, we have to bring the ones 582 00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:38,319 at a higher level down to make everybody the same. 583 00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:44,200 Which society we're just going We're going nuts. We're going nuts. 584 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,960 I mean, you know, things have to be looked at 585 00:29:47,039 --> 00:29:51,359 in a basic way and done properly. But it's not 586 00:29:51,559 --> 00:29:54,559 done that way across the board, whether it's insurance, education, 587 00:29:55,119 --> 00:29:56,680 it's insane to me. 588 00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 2: Well, billy, you may they too. You live in a wood, well, 589 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,839 don't do that. It's dangerous out there. Nature's out to 590 00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:06,880 get you, by the way, it's out to kill. The 591 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,799 universe is out to get you. Make no mistake. It 592 00:30:08,839 --> 00:30:10,599 is you learn that every day when you make a 593 00:30:10,599 --> 00:30:12,519 mistake and run into a wall or a door, trip 594 00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:14,680 or fall or something. But let's go to the two 595 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,720 points you made, which I think are very valid. One 596 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,480 that you know, when we see teachers, I would make 597 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,000 the equation to unions a lot of unions reward a 598 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,400 base level of work, and so you don't reward people 599 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,519 that are exceptional at work. You have to reward everybody 600 00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:32,480 gets the same pay raise regardless of how good they 601 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,880 are at the work, and the teachers' unions work the 602 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,319 same way. So that's a disincentive to success, and we 603 00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:41,400 see that in education. The second one, you talk about healthcare. 604 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,480 You know, we're really funny about health care. The emotional 605 00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:48,359 side of health care forbids us from having good economic discussions. 606 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,599 And you're right because if I were to say, if 607 00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:54,160 you're really overweight, should your health insurance be more? And 608 00:30:54,279 --> 00:30:56,319 you would probably say yes. I think a lot of 609 00:30:56,359 --> 00:30:58,480 people would say yes. If you're a smoker, it should 610 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,680 be more. What if you have a genetic predisposition, That's 611 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,039 that's where it starts getting tricky. Or if you do 612 00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:05,839 a genetic profile and you find out you're going to 613 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,119 have something, then you'd say, well, I don't want to 614 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,960 find I don't want to You can't insure that. So 615 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,000 it is a you know, insurance should be about risk. 616 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,599 In health insurance, it's not, and in many ways government 617 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,640 tries to not allow risk to be part of health insurance. 618 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,240 But even in your car, if you wreck your car, 619 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,759 have a bunch of speeding tickets, your insurance goes through 620 00:31:28,759 --> 00:31:31,920 the roof for your car. Right, well, it is. 621 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,119 Speaker 4: And see that's another issue. People are talking about the 622 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,920 cost of homeowners insurance. 623 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,519 Speaker 5: It's gone up. 624 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,559 Speaker 4: It's crazy how much it's gone up. Now everything else 625 00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,799 has gone up in price. I was a general contractor, 626 00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,680 so of course then the cost to rebuild your house 627 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,720 after an event's going to be greater, so your premiums 628 00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:52,599 could be greater. But what drives me crazy is how 629 00:31:52,599 --> 00:31:57,000 many of these insurance companies where it's healthcare are you know, 630 00:31:58,119 --> 00:32:03,759 property casualty. A time like this will show escalating profits. 631 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,680 I mean, are you stupid? I mean, are you really 632 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,279 that stupid? I mean, your premium should go up with 633 00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:15,480 the actual cost. But if you start showing excess profit, 634 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,480 you know this is what you are. 635 00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:24,759 Speaker 2: You're right, But I mean our hospital cartels are tens 636 00:32:24,759 --> 00:32:27,319 of billions in profits and putting it off shore, as 637 00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:29,359 Dale fall Will pointed out, and no one seems to 638 00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:30,119 get that upset. 639 00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode.
