I mean, I wish, I almost well, 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,479 I do wish. I wish that history classes would have 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,359 been taught because there was a dichotomy of approaches, one 14 00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,119 that led to you know, famine, death, destruction, and one 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,240 that led to wow. But meanwhile, I try to bring 16 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,439 I'm trying to get this story to you about Thanksgiving, 17 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,200 and uh, let's see if I can find it here. 18 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,760 But I will find it somewhere. But there was one 19 00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:10,560 about people that are protesting the whole Thanksgiving thing. And 20 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,599 when I see those stories, I'm always amazed at what 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,000 it is they're trying to achieve. You know that that 22 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:23,000 what is it about this country that they're trying to achieve? Now, 23 00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,000 you know, did there again decolonialism? They don't want to 24 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,000 not recognize the holiday, that want to act like, you know, 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,239 these these horrible things have happened, and something's wrong with 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:37,519 the country. And it's this anti colonial perspective. And this 27 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,319 one is actually a pretty good story. It's about universities, 28 00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:46,000 school districts nationwide call for decolonizing Thanksgiving and calling it 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,239 a day of mourning. As families across the US gather 30 00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:51,640 on Thanksgiving to celebrate one of the nation's most cherished 31 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:58,799 national holidays, some educators and schools are lamenting the day, 32 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,599 pushing back on it's colleone oneal roots, and incorporating diversity, 33 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:07,760 equality inclusion into the holiday. Now, this is that retrospective 34 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:14,039 historical like revisionist history, where people today, having grown up 35 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,240 in the world of today, want to project their their 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,599 values that they came to because they think they're, you know, 37 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960 smarter than everyone else. That they want to believe that 38 00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:30,199 those values translate to history. They don't want to look 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:31,919 at history and context. They don't want to look at 40 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,599 what happened in history. They don't want to look at 41 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,680 the fullness of history. They want to project today what 42 00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:43,039 they believe happened and project it back back as if 43 00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,199 they are in the right place to judge all of 44 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,360 the people that not only came here but built the country. 45 00:02:51,039 --> 00:02:53,800 And that's one of the strangest thing. At the University 46 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,840 of California Davis, the California History Social Science Project, which 47 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,960 describes itself as resources in professional Learning. For twelve History 48 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,039 Social Science hosted a Zoom event called Decolonizing Thanksgiving in 49 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,400 the Classroom. We will discuss reframing classroom practices and rituals 50 00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:14,520 about Thanksgiving. The event description explained centering perspectives from Turtle Island, 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,039 a name for North America used by Indigenous people. Turtle Island, 52 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,039 by the way, really good restaurant if you're down at 53 00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:23,960 the coast that's under dramatic reconstruction on Okono will help 54 00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,520 us decolonize Thanksgiving and spark new conversations about how to 55 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,039 authentically make meaning of this holiday with our students. What's 56 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,599 wrong with using the story of Thanksgiving. Earlier this month, 57 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,080 Washington University in Saint Louis, an institution that has long 58 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,520 been criticized over its DEEI policies, put out a press 59 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,639 release promoting an event that highlights and honors That highlights 60 00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:49,319 and honors quote the way different cultures recognize and understand thanksgiving, 61 00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:51,719 both as part of their history and as a tradition 62 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,439 brought into the present day. It's described as a way 63 00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:59,080 to actively contribute to inclusive and equitable practices that influence 64 00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:04,759 individual and systems change. You know what the original folks 65 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,960 the James Down Colony were for everybody it by the way, 66 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960 Indians saved them for what it's worth, But they were more, 67 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:19,839 you know, worried about every infection. You could literally stub 68 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:23,480 your toe, get an infection and die. You could lice 69 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,360 your Your quality of life was terrible. You you suffered 70 00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:29,199 if you didn't go out and cut would You didn't 71 00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:32,360 have time to sit around thinking about how to judge 72 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,319 people in the past. You were trying to survive. And 73 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,079 you know, when thirty percent of your fellow man died 74 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,040 on any given winter, it was pretty excuse me, men, 75 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,439 women and children died, and you spend a lot of 76 00:04:45,439 --> 00:04:50,959 your time digging graves. Your perspective changes. So these these 77 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,040 elitists in these universities looking back and projecting this kind 78 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,839 of if you put them there at that time, they 79 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,000 would have to make life and day decisions about how 80 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,639 to survive. I mean the quality of life, and I 81 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:07,680 don't mean to mean anyone here. The quality of life 82 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,759 in our prisons today is a higher quality of life 83 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,560 than many of the people in those puritanical colonies had, 84 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,040 even lifespan wise, the healthcare ssys think about the healthcare sism. 85 00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:22,680 They weren't Obama carrying themselves back then. They were lucky 86 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,439 if they got any fundamental basic care. You think you 87 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,480 had a pain, what you had to alleviate pain and suffering. 88 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,959 It wasn't like they were going to do a morphine 89 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,439 drip on you back then. And you have aspen riberproof 90 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,319 and nothing. There were no bottles in your childproof bottles. 91 00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:39,439 Even more about getting into it is impossible to connect 92 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,240 yourself to them through today's lens or overton window, for 93 00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:47,319 lack of a better phrase. In a statement, at MIT, 94 00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:49,639 spokesman told Fox News Digital the school is closed on 95 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,360 Thursday and Friday in honor of Thanksgiving, but part of 96 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,360 the effort, according to the invitation, includes students traveling in 97 00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:59,680 rental cars to the National Indigenous Day of Mourning in Plymouth, Massachusetts. 98 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,160 At the location of the Bayflowers landing. And this is 99 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:09,519 the kind of revisionist history. Nobody alive participated in that. 100 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,279 The net results of everything that happened did build the 101 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:18,319 most phenomenal country on the planet Earth. But this revisionist 102 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,600 kind of history, we wouldn't be set. We would not 103 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,199 be having an Indigenous day. Had there not been a 104 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,720 landing at Plymouth Rock, we wouldn't have had it. Maybe 105 00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,160 the country certainly wouldn't have developed the way it did. 106 00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:33,120 It just wouldn't have. It sounds heartless, doesn't when you 107 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,399 say that, But it just doesn't serve a useful purpose. 108 00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:39,680 It's not that you're glorifying the people who survive those 109 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,800 harsh conditions. What you're recognizing is we are thankful. We 110 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,920 are all, regardless of race, color, creed. In fact, thanksgiving 111 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,680 is being imported into England now. It's a day of 112 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800 being thankful for the blessings we have. It's a day 113 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,519 because gratitude. Gratitude could be contagious and amazing if you 114 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,639 practice gratitude. If you got up every morning of your 115 00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:02,199 life and you thought about three things to be thankful for, 116 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:04,519 I'll guarantee you this, and I'm not a self help coach, 117 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,639 but I want to tell you from practical personal experience. 118 00:07:07,079 --> 00:07:09,199 If you get up every day thinking about three or 119 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,800 four things that you're grateful for, your life will change. 120 00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:14,639 It will fundamentally change. Your anxiety will go down, your 121 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,079 dependence on social media will disappear or become less relevant 122 00:07:18,399 --> 00:07:20,959 your family life, and that you'll deepen the connections of 123 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,240 those around you, and you will have a different perspective. 124 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,240 You won't go around just hating people all the time. 125 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:31,839 So thanksgiving goes hand in hand with gratitude, and that's 126 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:33,639 what these people are missing, the point of it. They think, 127 00:07:33,639 --> 00:07:37,800 they think that that we're glorifying the people in the colony. 128 00:07:37,839 --> 00:07:41,800 Were nobody out there other you can't even name. Try 129 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,720 to name five people that were part of the thanksgiving, 130 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,040 the original Thanksgiving. You can't. Nobody can't. Well, maybe historical 131 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,879 people could, or people who've get Bradford's diaries, they could 132 00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:53,000 probably do it. And we'll go into Bradford's diaries a 133 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,839 little later. But it's not about glorifying them. It's glorifying 134 00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:00,800 being grateful that, regardless of race, color, creed, background, is 135 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,800 what you should be thankful for. 136 00:08:02,319 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: You know, stories are powerful, They help us make sense 137 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,160 of things, to understand experiences.

It's 158 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,120 an opportunity for students, parents and teachers to celebrate the country, 159 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,679 build unity in their communities, and share a meal with 160 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,720 family and friends. Two hundred and thirty six years ago, 161 00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:26,840 President George Washington urged Americans to set aside a day 162 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,200 to give thanks for the blessings and abundance of our nation. 163 00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:33,000 Presidents throughout our history have continued that tradition, reminding us 164 00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:36,759 each Thanksgiving to pause and reflect with gratitude. That's the 165 00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:41,559 spirit and meaning of it. That's it. It's not you 166 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,799 know what other people try to make it isn't what 167 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,360 it is. Thank you for holding Bob. Welcome to the show. 168 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,120 How are you today? 169 00:09:49,159 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: Ture? Congraduate to another fantastic show. And you're very good 170 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,360 at what to do, and that is making out people think, well, 171 00:09:56,399 --> 00:10:00,000 I want to go back in history because I'm mature 172 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:05,159 over seventy Everyone else is immature, including you. The fact 173 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,440 is that when I was a kid, they decided to 174 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,919 do away with mental institutions in New York. So they 175 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,519 let all the mental institution people out. They didn't have 176 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,159 any plan to follow up with them. It was a 177 00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:22,200 feel good it caused a lot of problems. A lot 178 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,480 of states did the same thing. People can't acknowledge when 179 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,559 they're wrong. The hardest thing in the world to do 180 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:33,080 is to say I was wrong or I am wrong. 181 00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:37,000 That's the problem. And you have a lot of people 182 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,639 going through life now finding fault with everyone else, but 183 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,039 they can't admit they're wrong. That's what sends to me. 184 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,440 And I've said everyone a happy and blessed Thanksgiving, and 185 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,200 to you and to yours Chad bye. 186 00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: Well, thank you, thank you for call Bob and heartfelt, 187 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,720 and there's a lot of truth there. I think that gratitude. 188 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,039 Those who were listening heard me talk about gratitude earlier, 189 00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,960 and that if you wake up with an attitude of gratitude, 190 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:06,799 that it's hard to be it's hard to be angry, 191 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,440 it's hard to hold on to grudges and hatred. But 192 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,639 but furthermore, it promotes humility. It'll remind you, hey, you know, 193 00:11:14,279 --> 00:11:17,080 here's where I probably should have made it better with, 194 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,399 you know, by significant other or my kids or my 195 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,559 parents or whatever it is. So yeah, humility in politics 196 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,639 is a daunting task. And don't think I don't recognize 197 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,279 a lot of people screaming. They're ready to say, wow, 198 00:11:28,279 --> 00:11:32,159 Trump's not real, humble not but then at other times 199 00:11:32,159 --> 00:11:34,840 he is so. But humility is a big deal. That 200 00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:36,840 meeting with Mundannie, there was a lot of humility being 201 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,159 displayed there. But I think it's like, I can give 202 00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:42,799 you an example. In fact, I'm going to give you 203 00:11:42,799 --> 00:11:46,000 an example now because there's there's there's someone else that 204 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,240 that decided to take on And this is Governor Gretchen 205 00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:52,919 Whitmer from Michi, Michigan. And and I want you to 206 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,600 hear what she's talking about, casting aspersions about the cost 207 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,759 of things, and and and and they're here's a perspective 208 00:12:00,799 --> 00:12:02,279 here I wish to share. I'm going to sometimes I 209 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,919 will share that perspective prior to you hearing something, and 210 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,120 sometimes after. In this particular instance, I think that hearing 211 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,960 what she has to say and then reflecting on it 212 00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:15,320 will be useful. So here's Gretchen Whitmer talking a little 213 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,399 bit about kind of this time of year. 214 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,039 Speaker 4: Happy Holidays Michigan. This season people travel near and fire 215 00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:24,000 to be with friends, family and loved ones. It's the 216 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:25,120 most magical. 217 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 2: Time of the year. 218 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 4: It's also the most expensive too. Holiday travel, gifts, meals. 219 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,600 Families spend up to two thousand dollars on average Thanksgiving 220 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,480 turkey to Christmas ham, new socks, and plane tickets. It 221 00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:38,399 all adds up pretty quickly. On top of that, everything's 222 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,080 more expensive because of the federal government's chaotic tearf policies. 223 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,919 Grocers keep going up, along with toys, electronics, and clothes. 224 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,039 Here in Michigan will keep working together to lower costs 225 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,480 and make life easier for all. I'm proud that my 226 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,720 seventh balanced bipartisan budget does exactly that. 227 00:12:57,639 --> 00:12:59,919 Speaker 2: So Gretchen Whitmer, you heard the A couple of whoppers 228 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,320 here and one. She can't say because she's a Democrat 229 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,039 and they've pull tested things and they have some absolute 230 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,960 knew jerk reactionaries. She can't. They can't typically say Happy Thanksgiving. 231 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,879 A Democrat and a Democrat stronghold can't say Happy Thanksgiving. 232 00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:15,919 They have to say Happy Holidays, can't say they can 233 00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:18,759 barely say Christmas. They have to say kind of holidays. 234 00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:21,080 They have to lump it all together, Happy Holidays. She 235 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,480 said something about the cost of groceries and Thanksgiving. Actually, 236 00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:27,320 as we talked about yesterday, an American Farm Bureau had 237 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,320 disclosed that a feeding a family of ten is five 238 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,600 percent cheaper this year than last year. That is true. Now, 239 00:13:32,759 --> 00:13:35,440 what I find most interesting about what Whitmer had to 240 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,279 say is during a time when inflation was at ten 241 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,679 plus percent and things were spiraling out of control, after 242 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,159 the Inflation Reduction Act did not reduce inflation, Whitmer said nothing. 243 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,799 The Democrats wouldn't even acknowledge that the economy was in 244 00:13:49,879 --> 00:13:55,080 horrible shape. So her casting aspersions about federal government chaotic 245 00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,000 tariff strategy is jacking up costs more. There's no evidence 246 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,720 to suggest it's that much more. People actually, actually incomes 247 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,159 are up. But this is the kind of they are 248 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,159 trying to feed the beast of propaganda. They're trying to 249 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,879 feed the beast because if you feel like things are 250 00:14:11,919 --> 00:14:16,440 getting better, I don't know. If I were advising Democrats, 251 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,200 I would say, hey, grab onto the economy is make 252 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,960 it your winning issue. Talk about why the economy is 253 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,840 getting better because of what you did. But instead, what 254 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,279 they're doing is they're throwing everything out because you that 255 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600 you They cannot afford for you to believe the economy 256 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:34,159 is getting better. They cannot afford for you to think, wait, 257 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,120 gas prices are okay. They cannot afford for you to 258 00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:39,200 realize your energy bill is going up because of green 259 00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:42,559 policies that drew that subsidized all these other energies that 260 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,840 aren't giving you cheap, abundant energy, and your energy bill 261 00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:48,200 is going up because of their policies. They can't acknowledge 262 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,440 that the immigration thing is working out well for America. 263 00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:54,200 They can't acknowledge that the border secure. They should This 264 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,960 should be something to say, you know what, many of 265 00:14:56,039 --> 00:14:58,279 us in the Democrat Party wanted that border secure, and 266 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,639 we are very upset and disappointed the previous administration for 267 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:04,679 not securing the border. We do like global peace. We 268 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,440 are proud of the administration's effort to bring about peaceful 269 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,159 solutions because we want peaceful solutions too. We want to 270 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,519 support that. But they are so hell bent on you 271 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:19,559 must feel bad for them to do well, and that's 272 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440 not the way it should work. You don't need to 273 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,799 feel bad for one given party to work. Certainly, the 274 00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,000 Republicans are going to try to convince you that things 275 00:15:27,039 --> 00:15:31,279 are going well, and by any kind of objective measure, 276 00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:32,399 they are going well. 277 00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: All right, If you're listening to this show, you know 278 00:15:34,559 --> 00:15:36,559 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events. 279 00:15:36,559 --> 00:15:38,639 And I know you do too, And you've probably heard 280 00:15:38,639 --> 00:15:42,720 me say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, 281 00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,480 because it's how you detect media bias, which is why 282 00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:48,720 I've been so impressed with ground News.

One of their tried and true ways 300 00:16:44,679 --> 00:16:49,200 of projecting and images is class warfare traditionally has worked 301 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,759 for them. We've seen at various times in history where 302 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,360 naming something a certain way, and I can give you 303 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,320 a historical context here for another position. There used to 304 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:04,319 be something called tax increment financing and tax increment financing. 305 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,759 They put it before voters in North Carolina I think 306 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:09,880 three times, and every time they put it before the voters, 307 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:13,359 the voters shot it down. It wasn't hard to shoot 308 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,960 it down because it had the word tax and financing 309 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,799 in it, and voters didn't like the naming. So a 310 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:21,400 bunch of them got in a room, the people who 311 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,720 wanted to promote this, and they created something called self 312 00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:30,079 financed bonds, and it's tax increment financing, but they called 313 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,759 it self financed bonds, and people were like, wait, bonds 314 00:17:32,799 --> 00:17:36,160 that financed themselves and it passed overwhelming. It was the 315 00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:39,440 exact same thing that had been tried multiple times in 316 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,359 North Kana. And then they renamed it self financed bonds, 317 00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:47,400 same thing, just called it something different and it passed 318 00:17:47,839 --> 00:17:50,119 and it became legal in North Carolina and the first 319 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,960 time they used it, well, one of the first times 320 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,799 was the Randy parton theater up in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, 321 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:57,480 and it absolutely fell in its face. It didn't pay 322 00:17:57,519 --> 00:17:59,000 back the bonds. The city had to pick it up. 323 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,880 The taxpayers are still pay for It was an absolute nightmare. Nonetheless, 324 00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:07,799 tax increment financing passed because they changed the name. So 325 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,759 why do I bring that to your attention, Because because 326 00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:13,720 Democrats have tried and tried and tried with class warfare, 327 00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:17,960 the wealthier bad, the poor are the victims if not 328 00:18:18,079 --> 00:18:20,720 for those evil, selfish and I've even got a story today, 329 00:18:20,759 --> 00:18:23,200 are the are the wealthy more selfish people? Well, there's 330 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,359 a lot of psychopaths and sociopaths that are wealthy, and 331 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,599 and and maybe that narcissism and everything that makes them 332 00:18:28,599 --> 00:18:32,279 that way. Maybe that maybe that and projecting it was 333 00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:33,960 a way, it's a way to try to project that 334 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:38,960 wealthier people are somehow not altruistic, you know. And then 335 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,000 toward the end of the article they say, well, not all, 336 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,759 not all wealthy people are bad. But it's still it's putting. 337 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,680 It's putting it out there to feed the beast that 338 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,119 that wealth and to create the to to create the 339 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,880 view of class warfare. Now, take it a step further, 340 00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:58,680 that hasn't sold as well. It hasn't sold as well 341 00:18:59,039 --> 00:19:01,799 for the political lefts. So what do you call it now? 342 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,279 And I alluded to this earlier with Gretchen Whitmer. I've 343 00:19:05,319 --> 00:19:09,000 mentioned it on the air before, But it's the affordability crisis. 344 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,079 That we have a crisis of affordability you And it's easy, 345 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,279 I mean, because it's not really hard. It's not if 346 00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:17,359 I got on the air and told you, hey, it's 347 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,079 tough out there. Things are expensive. You go to the 348 00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:23,480 I mean, post COVID, it's absurd how much you have 349 00:19:23,519 --> 00:19:25,319 to pay to get food at a restaurant these days. 350 00:19:26,039 --> 00:19:28,759 Or your electrical bills are going up, they are your insurance, 351 00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:31,079 especially if you're along the coast. It's absurd. It's going 352 00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:36,160 it is. It is more expensive. Now. What you failed 353 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,519 to what I would fail to say, is it was 354 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:40,680 a lot of policies in COVID, post COVID. It's a 355 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,480 lot of a lot of different factors. But it's easy 356 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,319 for me as a Democrat to say the affordable ability 357 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,319 crisis is because those Republicans in Congress and the President 358 00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:55,400 and I absolutely believe that is the issue. They're going 359 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,160 to try to hang their hat on. They're not going 360 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,079 to hang on immigration, They're not going to hang on 361 00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:01,599 on a foreign policy. They're going to try a little 362 00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:03,720 bit with the tariffs, but that's not selling, especially if 363 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,359 there's a two thousand dollars tariff relief thing that comes through. 364 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,240 I'm not the biggest fan of that for a thousand 365 00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:13,079 different reasons, but from a public relations standpoint, it probably 366 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,960 will sell because a lot of the folks in certain 367 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,759 income brackets would get it. But I do believe that 368 00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:23,039 the affordability crisis is one that the Republicans are not 369 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:24,920 doing a good job at getting out in front of it. 370 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000 I get why the President would be frustrated with that. 371 00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:30,359 And certainly one of the things that Democrats are losing 372 00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:33,279 as an issue is crime because they're not I mean, 373 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,799 Chicago today is still trying to repute Pritzker in Illinois, 374 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,759 they're trying to repudiate any assistance to try to bring 375 00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:41,559 crime down as a woman gets set on fire in 376 00:20:41,599 --> 00:20:45,920 a subway, the Irena situation in Charlotte, where you've got 377 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,880 Democrats trying to act like the Irena law that's going 378 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,599 to put criminals in jail. They're on the wrong side 379 00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:53,640 of history there, they're on the wrong side of crime, 380 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,480 and Democrats are going to lose if it becomes if 381 00:20:56,519 --> 00:20:58,759 it becomes defined by public safety, Democrats are going to 382 00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:02,440 win to lose. They don't have to. They could embrace, 383 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,359 say we want to enforce the laws too, but right 384 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,319 now they're more inclined to hate the president. But the 385 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,839 affordability issue, when they continue to tell you that times 386 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,680 are tough, it's easy to say times are tough, and 387 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,359 it's but ascribing it to one party. I think the 388 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,319 Democrats are doing a very good job of making it 389 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,359 look like the Republicans don't care about that issue. And 390 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,720 Republicans really are saying we don't have I mean saying 391 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,160 we don't have an affordability crisis. If someone's having trouble 392 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,720 paying bills, defeats, I mean, may there isn't an affordability crisis. 393 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,160 But if enough people believe there is, the psychology behind it, boom. 394 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:36,119 It's kind of like the markets if people believe if 395 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,559 people psychologically believe that the markets are overvalued, then there'll 396 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,119 be a rush on the markets. It'll be a massive 397 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,400 sell off and the stocks will drop. That's not what 398 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,279 they believe right now because they're looking at rate cuts 399 00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:48,319 and some other things. So the markets are recovering nicely 400 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,160 over the past week or so. I mean, heck, the 401 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,960 dows up over three seventy right now. I'm looking at 402 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,279 the Marxis and P's up almost the percent, and the 403 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,680 Nasdaq's almost up a person. So people believe in the markets. 404 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,359 What they don't believe is that that affordability is good. 405 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,839 So we'll see how that all shakes out, because I 406 00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:11,519 do think that that's where the Democrats are going to 407 00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:13,519 struggle a little bit. Now we get back, I will 408 00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:17,119 talk about taxpayers flee in California. I might go into 409 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,680 the Psychology Today article about the rich being selfish, because 410 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,279 these are all kind of the way they want you 411 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,279 to believe things. And I do want to go to 412 00:22:25,319 --> 00:22:29,319 the pro public of one that green policies, the ones 413 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,519 that are being struck down right now, are going to 414 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:35,759 kill millions. It's just they don't and pro public erote it, 415 00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:37,759 and it's shameful, but we got to talk about it 416 00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:38,240 a little bit. 417 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 418 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,920 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. 419 00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:47,200 Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of 420 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,599 Asheville is your connection.

Nestled within the breath taking fourteen thousand 426 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,880 acres of the Pisga National Forest, their cabins offer a 427 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,640 serene escape in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 428 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:14,319 Centrally located between Ashville and the entrance of the Great 429 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,240 Smoky Mountain National Park.

Call or 436 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,240 text eight two eight, three six seven seventy sixty eight 437 00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:48,680 or check out all there is to offer at cabins 438 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,240 Offashville dot com and make memories that'll last a lifetime. 439 00:23:53,319 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: Some stranger, I want to get to the pro public apiece, 440 00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:57,440 not not I don't want to spend too much time 441 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,920 in it, but I love the way Pro Publica discribes themselves. 442 00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:07,279 Pro public is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Now, 443 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:11,839 if you were to do more than a cursory glance 444 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,440 at pro Publica, what you would find is that that 445 00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:20,240 headline is somewhat true. It really is a nonprofit newsroom 446 00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:25,920 that investigates the right pretty much exclusively. And not only 447 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,680 does it investigate the right, it makes claims that are 448 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,400 not necessarily true. So when it says it invested, so 449 00:24:32,759 --> 00:24:34,880 I'm reading this because it is the first lie? Is 450 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,440 the description of the journalistic enterprise before the headline, or 451 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,720 not before that, before the lead, so to speak. So 452 00:24:42,799 --> 00:24:45,440 what is it? What is pro public a nonprofit newsroom 453 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,079 that investigates abuses of power. So you're thinking, I'm going 454 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,119 to give you a story about abuses of power. No, 455 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,920 new advances in environmental science are providing a detailed understanding 456 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,000 of the human costs of the Trump administration's approach to 457 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,079 climate change. Well, that's not necessarily true, and nor is 458 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,720 that an investigation. Increasing temperatures are killing enormous numbers of people. 459 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,799 What the planet's been warmer before, and cold kills a 460 00:25:11,799 --> 00:25:15,519 lot of people. A pro publican Guardian analysis that draws 461 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:20,319 on sophisticated modeling by independent researchers. Notice that it's sophisticated. 462 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,440 Therefore you have to agree with them. It's very sophisticated, 463 00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:27,119 and it's independent. It's not leaning left right, it's independent. 464 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,599 Has found that Trump's Agenda First Agenda America First agenda 465 00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:34,880 of expanding fossil fuels and decimating efforts to reduce emissions 466 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,759 will add substantially. Most of the people expected to die 467 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,400 from temperatures in the coming decades live in poor, hot 468 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,599 countries like Africa and South Asia. Pro Publica, And this 469 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,599 is the line I really wanted to get to Pro 470 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,759 public in. The Guardian's analysis shows that extra greenhouse gases 471 00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:52,119 released in the next decade as a result of this 472 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,079 are expected to lead expected to lead not that it will, 473 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,559 but expected to lead to as many as one point 474 00:26:02,559 --> 00:26:05,960 three million more temperature related dusts worldwide in the eighty 475 00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:09,039 years after twenty thirty five. In other words, this is 476 00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:12,839 an ass assertion that can never be proven and won't 477 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,359 take place until most of you are dead and gone. 478 00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,519 In fact, twenty years after twenty thirty five, that'd be 479 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,240 ninety years from now, So it is expected to kill 480 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,279 one point three million more people over the next ninety years. 481 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,200 The actual number of people who die from heat will 482 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,240 be much higher, but a warming planet will result in 483 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:35,440 fewer dusts from cold. But again they can't substantiate any 484 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,559 of this. In fact, there's some emerging sites that the 485 00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:41,640 planet may be cooling down, so the acceleration that we 486 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,720 were promised fifty years ago hasn't happened. But this is 487 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,359 the kind of fear that isn't necessarily it's not factual. 488 00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:52,640 The absence of the United States when the world gathered 489 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,319 at their international conference in Brazil, which has four percent 490 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,799 of the world's population but produces twenty percent of the 491 00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:02,599 greenhouse gases, has been pointedly noted by participants, I would 492 00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:07,440 say notably by partisans. Afghanistan, Myamar, and Samarine are the 493 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,359 only other nations that did not send a delegation. Our calculations, 494 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,680 meaning pro public as calculations, use modeled estimates by the way, 495 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,160 and it's gonna sound like I'm trying to deflect a 496 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,880 little bit here, but our models on hurricanes are still horrible. 497 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,880 That's why we have spaghetti models, right You all know 498 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,319 what a spahetti model is, because there's twenty different models 499 00:27:29,759 --> 00:27:31,480 and they look for some kind of convergent but they're 500 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,599 not always right. Even now, and we know a lot 501 00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:39,039 more about hurricanes. Calculations used modeled estimates of the additional emissions. 502 00:27:39,039 --> 00:27:41,759 It will be released as well as a peer reviewed 503 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,759 metric for what is known as the mortality cost of carbon, 504 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,440 the metric which builds on Nobel Prize winning science. By 505 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,559 the way, al Gore won a Nobel Prize for his science. 506 00:27:55,599 --> 00:28:00,920 He's not scientists, but for his documentary, and none of 507 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,359 his predictions have come true. By the way, just worth 508 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,680 noting because they're relying on the same kind of menti 509 00:28:05,839 --> 00:28:09,279 circular logic of people. The estimate reflects deaths from heat 510 00:28:09,279 --> 00:28:12,839 related causes such as heat stroke and exacerbation of illnesses mindset. 511 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,279 Now Nowhere in this, by the way, do they pick 512 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,480 up that we're getting better at building building things in 513 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,599 the third world. Nowhere in this do they do They 514 00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:22,759 act like you know things are getting better in some 515 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:25,200 of these places, because they are nowhere in this do 516 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:28,079 they talk about how capitalism actually helps address all sorts 517 00:28:28,079 --> 00:28:30,559 of things even if this were true. So they're acting 518 00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:33,960 as if we're frozen today, meaning not frozen, but I 519 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,720 guess we're in a pressure cooker today and everybody's going 520 00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:38,559 to live exactly the way they did for the next 521 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,160 ninety years, and therefore one point three million more people 522 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,680 are going to die. There will be no changes in society, 523 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,720 according to pro public in this liberal rag, there will 524 00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:50,160 be no changes in society. That I mean if you 525 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,000 were to look at the South right now, the southern 526 00:28:53,119 --> 00:28:57,400 United States, traditional South Texas over to I don't know, 527 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,599 North Carolina. Let's exclude Virginia for now because that would 528 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,400 make it racist because we'd have robbery lee. But we're 529 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,079 going to exclude that state. So Tennessee, Texas, all Alabama, Georgia, 530 00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:09,039 of Louisiana, Florida, and right now, we were to take 531 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:14,119 air conditioning and remove air conditioning from the South, how 532 00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:15,759 many more people do you think would die? Ever you 533 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,240 just air conditioning becomes extinct, I don't know, because of 534 00:29:18,279 --> 00:29:22,039 some kind of apocalyptic electromagnetic pulse and air conditioning no 535 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:24,839 longer works. How many more tests would we have? A lot? 536 00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:30,799 A lot? Air conditioning saves lives. So pretending that it's 537 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:35,759 a static world in which nothing changes is just just asinine. 538 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,880 It's just lacks common sense. So when you read this, 539 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,519 the sheer numbers are horrifying the US climate action networks 540 00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:44,279 so that they're going to kill millions of people. Again, 541 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,359 it's this is the kind of thing where the where 542 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,480 democrats love to look at and the left and general 543 00:29:49,599 --> 00:29:51,279 likes to look at static things as if we're just 544 00:29:51,279 --> 00:29:52,880 going to sit there and the Sosunaimi's gonna hit us 545 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:53,880 and we're not going to get out of the way. 546 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:56,559 All right. 547 00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: That'll do it for this episode.
