86
00:04:59,319 –> 00:05:05,360
A glory I totally erect and I wanted to come

00:05:05,399 –> 00:05:09,759
back last week. Didn’t happen. That’s okay, we’re here, We’re bad.

88
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,160
Everything is good, and I’m not going.

89
00:05:13,079 –> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 4: To lie to you.

90
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 6: I had a great, great time. We’ll make a few

91
00:05:17,879 –> 00:05:20,360
adjustments here and see if this helps. I don’t know

92
00:05:20,399 –> 00:05:22,759
if it will or not. I have no idea what

93
00:05:23,199 –> 00:05:25,920
this computer is are what the sound and everything is

94
00:05:26,000 –> 00:05:29,800
even going through? Oh there we go. That’s better, Jeff. Okay,

95
00:05:30,439 –> 00:05:34,279
we got it all right, So turn all my speakers off.

96
00:05:34,399 –> 00:05:36,839
I’ll crank this up and should be good to go.

97
00:05:37,639 –> 00:05:43,040
Oh beautiful, beautiful. All right, we figured it out. We

98
00:05:43,160 –> 00:05:46,839
are live on KLR and radio. And like I said,

99
00:05:46,879 –> 00:05:50,240
I’m learning new things as I go. You know what

100
00:05:50,560 –> 00:05:53,920
I’ve learned over my life time what measly little life

101
00:05:53,959 –> 00:05:56,480
I’ve had. And it’s twenty twenty five, folks, I turned

102
00:05:56,600 –> 00:06:00,839
sixty years old this year. Okay, this is crazy, but anyways,

103
00:06:00,879 –> 00:06:03,279
I’ve learned over my life that if you really want

104
00:06:03,360 –> 00:06:06,920
to learn something well and learn it quickly, do it

105
00:06:07,000 –> 00:06:10,680
at the very very last minute. Screw it completely up,

106
00:06:11,199 –> 00:06:18,120
and you’ll learn it when you fix it. So welcome

107
00:06:18,160 –> 00:06:20,399
to the show. We’re done at twenty twenty four. We’re

108
00:06:20,680 –> 00:06:27,959
moving headlong into twenty twenty five. Wow, some things have something.

109
00:06:47,560 –> 00:07:08,600
I’ve had some issues a spreaker so well, just a

110
00:07:08,720 –> 00:07:11,199
glitch in the system and something went kind of weird.

111
00:07:11,319 –> 00:07:18,360
Hopefully I’m back, he’ll let me know. I’m sure. Yep,

112
00:07:18,480 –> 00:07:20,639
there we are. There was just a little glitch. Things

113
00:07:20,720 –> 00:07:24,120
just kind of walked out on me, Jeff. Anyways, hopefully

114
00:07:24,199 –> 00:07:26,680
everybody had a great twenty twenty four but had agreed.

115
00:07:56,519 –> 00:07:56,959
Speaker 1: Losing me.

116
00:07:57,160 –> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 6: Oh, now I should be back. We knew that things

117
00:08:03,199 –> 00:08:05,720
are going to be a little different. We knew things

118
00:08:05,759 –> 00:08:11,079
were going to be a little bumpy, and we figured

119
00:08:11,319 –> 00:08:14,439
that that Democrats, like they usually do, would throw an

120
00:08:14,439 –> 00:08:17,399
absolute fit. There would be riots, there would be burnings,

121
00:08:17,399 –> 00:08:21,759
there would be things. But as of right now, everything

122
00:08:21,920 –> 00:08:26,600
is smooth along that line. Now, we have very few

123
00:08:26,680 –> 00:08:30,079
days until the inauguration. Now, the inauguration might be a

124
00:08:30,120 –> 00:08:33,799
completely different story. If you remember, right in twenty sixteen,

125
00:08:33,840 –> 00:08:39,879
the inauguration was basically DC burning down. I predict, and

126
00:08:39,960 –> 00:08:42,600
I’m completely wrong. I picked that Washington, DC will be

127
00:08:42,639 –> 00:08:46,519
completely safe this year. I predict that the usual suspects

128
00:08:46,559 –> 00:08:49,039
are not going to call their minions out to burn

129
00:08:49,080 –> 00:08:52,919
and destroy because it will be wadded up and thrown

130
00:08:52,960 –> 00:08:55,279
in their face on the back end of a baseball bat.

131
00:08:55,360 –> 00:08:57,240
I think they’re afraid right now.

132
00:08:57,320 –> 00:08:57,879
Speaker 8: I think they’re.

133
00:08:57,759 –> 00:09:01,919
Speaker 6: Afraid because, well, this president coming in has already been

134
00:09:02,000 –> 00:09:04,279
there once. He knows what to expect, and he is

135
00:09:04,440 –> 00:09:10,720
ready with a big stick that said that said, these

136
00:09:10,799 –> 00:09:43,799
are snakes, these are there we go. Now we’re back.

137
00:09:47,240 –> 00:09:52,600
What we have had to deal with last time was

138
00:09:53,480 –> 00:09:58,360
just a perpetual ubiquitous protesting, burning, looting, uh, anything they

139
00:09:58,440 –> 00:10:01,080
could get ahold of. Let’s folks, they were getting a

140
00:10:01,120 –> 00:10:04,360
hold of a drug addict, a known drug addict, criminal

141
00:10:04,440 –> 00:10:07,240
with a record sheet ten miles long. And they made

142
00:10:07,320 –> 00:10:09,159
him a martyr, they made him a hero. They built

143
00:10:09,159 –> 00:10:13,360
statues of them, just to get Donald Trump out of

144
00:10:13,440 –> 00:10:20,360
the White House, no other reason. Now now we have had,

145
00:10:20,440 –> 00:10:23,080
of course North the western North Carolina people who are

146
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:25,120
still sleeping intense. We’ll get to that in a minute.

147
00:10:25,759 –> 00:10:30,480
Now we have California burning, and of course it’s climate change.

148
00:10:30,519 –> 00:10:33,320
And of course it’s Donald Trump’s fault. Kay, Donald Trump’s

149
00:10:33,360 –> 00:10:36,559
not the president yet. Donald Trump is is what a

150
00:10:36,639 –> 00:10:41,440
week and a half until he’s until he’s inaugurated. But

151
00:10:41,559 –> 00:10:45,600
it is still somehow his fault. Even though Los Angeles

152
00:10:45,679 –> 00:10:51,399
has been run by Democrats for decades, decades, and even

153
00:10:51,480 –> 00:10:57,440
though we have pointed out several issues with Los Angeles,

154
00:10:57,600 –> 00:11:00,120
like their water reserves, they had all that rang on,

155
00:11:00,200 –> 00:11:01,799
they were flooding, they had all that rain. They were

156
00:11:01,879 –> 00:11:04,759
crying and wailing, ooh, climate change, looking all the rain,

157
00:11:04,799 –> 00:11:07,399
all the rain quit. Oh, climate change. The rain quit,

158
00:11:08,159 –> 00:11:10,600
and they never did anything to fill up the reservoirs

159
00:11:10,799 –> 00:11:15,039
during that massive rain, and the water that they needed

160
00:11:15,120 –> 00:11:18,080
so very badly to put out these fires is gone.

161
00:11:19,799 –> 00:11:22,879
The DEI Hires, they have running different departments, departments that

162
00:11:22,879 –> 00:11:25,639
are critical to the infrastructure, critical to putting these fires out,

163
00:11:26,000 –> 00:11:31,639
are incompetent collectively. Gavin Newsom and we’ll have a sound

164
00:11:31,679 –> 00:11:34,399
bite by him in a minute, Devin Newsom, Uh, this

165
00:11:34,960 –> 00:11:41,840
bass woman, several others. They’re all, you know, DEI Hires,

166
00:11:41,879 –> 00:11:45,159
they’re all, you know, equity instead of equality. They’re all,

167
00:11:45,320 –> 00:11:51,600
you know, uh, progressive socialist Democrats. And their system failed.

168
00:11:51,679 –> 00:11:55,080
Not only did it fail, it tanked, it bottomed out.

169
00:11:55,159 –> 00:11:57,879
It was the worst thing in the world. The difference

170
00:11:58,039 –> 00:12:02,320
is the difference is these are They’re not hillbillies. These

171
00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:05,080
are not people that live up in the hills, dirt poor,

172
00:12:05,240 –> 00:12:09,120
can’t afford lawyers, can’t afford to fight FEMA giving them

173
00:12:09,159 –> 00:12:11,159
seven hundred and fifty dollars and kicking them out of

174
00:12:11,200 –> 00:12:13,480
a hotel like they were, you know, and we’ll get

175
00:12:13,519 –> 00:12:17,960
to that too. They can’t fight any of that. They’re helpless.

176
00:12:19,559 –> 00:12:23,360
They will depend on the good will of some group

177
00:12:23,440 –> 00:12:28,720
of lawyers to take care of that they have. They’re helpless,

178
00:12:28,759 –> 00:12:31,720
and if it never doesn’t happen, they’ll they’ll never get justice,

179
00:12:31,720 –> 00:12:35,039
they’ll never get their property back. And we’ll tell you

180
00:12:35,159 –> 00:12:37,840
why in a bit this this show. I’m going to

181
00:12:37,879 –> 00:12:40,600
spend a good chunk of this show explaining something that

182
00:12:41,320 –> 00:12:43,639
I have been putting two and two together for since

183
00:12:43,639 –> 00:12:47,039
about the end of twenty twenty three. And I’m watching

184
00:12:47,120 –> 00:12:49,080
this play out in real time with my mouth hanging

185
00:12:49,159 –> 00:12:52,120
up and going, oh my god, I’ve accidentally stumbled up

186
00:12:52,279 –> 00:12:55,399
upon this, And I guess in deep inside my mind

187
00:12:55,440 –> 00:12:57,240
I’ve known about this. But we’ll get to this too.

188
00:12:57,960 –> 00:13:05,879
But anyways, I digress. These are Hollywood elites. These are

189
00:13:06,080 –> 00:13:12,159
very wealthy people whose mansions are burning down, whose family

190
00:13:12,759 –> 00:13:15,639
who were actors might have left up to their kids

191
00:13:15,919 –> 00:13:19,039
who might have been child actors. These are people with money,

192
00:13:19,279 –> 00:13:22,759
and these are people who all fund the Democrat Party,

193
00:13:22,919 –> 00:13:27,440
especially in California. Oh, you better believe Joe Biden’s going

194
00:13:27,519 –> 00:13:30,360
to take to the airwaves right away and say, oh,

195
00:13:30,519 –> 00:13:32,759
don’t worry, guys, We’re going to take care of you

196
00:13:32,799 –> 00:13:36,039
one hundred percent for the next six months. We’ll spend billions,

197
00:13:36,120 –> 00:13:38,240
trying to get you right back to where you were.

198
00:13:38,679 –> 00:13:41,919
You’ll be just fine. I didn’t hear a darn thing

199
00:13:42,080 –> 00:13:44,720
like that coming out of Joe Biden’s mouth when that

200
00:13:44,879 –> 00:13:47,399
flood hit North Carolina. In fact, it took days for

201
00:13:48,080 –> 00:13:53,879
him to even acknowledge that it happened. And those people

202
00:13:54,000 –> 00:13:57,320
are still and let’s just jump into this. Those people

203
00:13:57,399 –> 00:14:09,919
are still in dire straight they’re still having issues. Just yesterday,

204
00:14:09,960 –> 00:14:12,799
I guess this came out and this might be my

205
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:16,639
internet acting up, Jeff, hopefully not. Hopefully things are straightening out.

206
00:14:17,279 –> 00:14:22,039
But FEMA was getting ready to kick out hurricane survivors

207
00:14:22,600 –> 00:14:29,080
out of temporary housing and Fox reported this, and this

208
00:14:29,240 –> 00:14:33,919
was January eleventh, twenty twenty five. Says locals are especially

209
00:14:33,960 –> 00:14:37,000
confused as FEMA plans to end temporary housing assistants for

210
00:14:37,000 –> 00:14:42,480
about two thousand North Carolina residents on Saturday, that was yesterday,

211
00:14:42,639 –> 00:14:44,840
during a snowstorm. Now they came out and said, oh,

212
00:14:44,919 –> 00:14:46,639
we’re gonna give you an extra twenty four hours. Oh

213
00:14:46,720 –> 00:14:49,440
extra twenty four hours, thank you, thank you, that’ll work

214
00:14:49,480 –> 00:14:53,679
an extra twenty four hours. We’re in January, the oldest

215
00:14:53,879 –> 00:14:56,440
month of the year, and you’re going to escort these

216
00:14:56,480 –> 00:14:59,200
people out into the cold go live intense people in

217
00:14:59,240 –> 00:15:02,679
North Carolina? Are you going to do that, mister Biden,

218
00:15:02,840 –> 00:15:06,519
President Biden soon to be former President Biden to the

219
00:15:06,639 –> 00:15:09,399
people in Los Angeles, No, I don’t think you’re going.

220
00:15:09,360 –> 00:15:09,879
Speaker 4: To do that.

221
00:15:12,039 –> 00:15:15,879
Speaker 6: The housing program was initially supposed to on Friday, but

222
00:15:16,000 –> 00:15:22,039
FELI pushed the deadline back to Saturday now. Ryan mcclemon’s

223
00:15:22,120 –> 00:15:24,960
founder of volunteer group Operation Boots on the Ground in

224
00:15:25,039 –> 00:15:28,039
western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee, told Fox News Digital

225
00:15:28,159 –> 00:15:30,879
on Friday, I’m actually talking to several people that are

226
00:15:30,960 –> 00:15:34,799
losing the FEMA vouchers. They’re terrified that they’re going to

227
00:15:34,879 –> 00:15:37,519
have nowhere to stay for their families after today. But

228
00:15:37,639 –> 00:15:40,200
we did find out pretty late last night that FEMA’s

229
00:15:40,240 –> 00:15:44,320
extending a whole whopping twenty four hours, So as of today,

230
00:15:45,240 –> 00:15:47,000
they’re probably out on their backsides.

231
00:15:50,200 –> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: Now.

232
00:15:50,399 –> 00:15:52,399
Speaker 6: FEMA is trying to say, no, you’re not anny, do

233
00:15:52,440 –> 00:15:54,480
you that we’re not We would never do something like that.

234
00:15:54,759 –> 00:15:57,679
Are you kidding me? But they’re doing it time. Every

235
00:15:57,759 –> 00:15:59,639
time it opens its mouth when it comes to western

236
00:15:59,639 –> 00:16:04,679
North Caa and Tennessee, they lie and he keep getting

237
00:16:04,679 –> 00:16:06,919
found out called out and they would love it. They

238
00:16:06,919 –> 00:16:09,120
would absolutely love it. I get the feeling that the

239
00:16:09,279 –> 00:16:11,440
FEMA leaders that you know, not the people with the

240
00:16:11,480 –> 00:16:13,120
boots on the ground over there. I’m sure some of

241
00:16:13,159 –> 00:16:18,600
those people are in good faith trying to help. But

242
00:16:18,679 –> 00:16:21,679
I’m telling you right now, I’m sure there’s a lot

243
00:16:21,759 –> 00:16:26,559
of bureaucrats, Democrat bureaucrats at the very very top of

244
00:16:26,679 –> 00:16:31,840
FEMA who would love for this story to disappear out

245
00:16:31,879 –> 00:16:35,159
of the news. In fact, they’re probably salivating right now

246
00:16:35,240 –> 00:16:37,519
because of the Los Angeles fires, because it’s going to

247
00:16:37,559 –> 00:16:40,159
take some of the pressure off them, and Los Angeles

248
00:16:40,279 –> 00:16:44,679
shining city right there in the middle of utopia, of

249
00:16:44,919 –> 00:16:47,879
socialist utopia California, and they’re going to be able to

250
00:16:48,000 –> 00:16:51,360
just show the world that they can rebuild it unlimited funds.

251
00:16:55,159 –> 00:16:58,600
The way I see it, is this the difference the

252
00:16:58,679 –> 00:17:01,440
reaction that we are going to see in the next

253
00:17:01,519 –> 00:17:05,119
few weeks. The reaction, the difference of reactions between North

254
00:17:05,160 –> 00:17:09,839
Carolina and Los Angeles is going to say everything about

255
00:17:09,880 –> 00:17:19,240
the Biden administration. Telling you right now now that said,

256
00:17:21,279 –> 00:17:24,480
I’m not putting down any of the people who fell

257
00:17:24,599 –> 00:17:27,720
victim to either or any of the catastrophes, whether it

258
00:17:27,880 –> 00:17:32,319
be the floods, whether it be hurricanes. I don’t care

259
00:17:32,359 –> 00:17:36,400
if you’re the farthest left communist on a planet, if

260
00:17:36,440 –> 00:17:39,880
you’re a house burnt down in California because of the

261
00:17:39,920 –> 00:17:44,440
stupidity of your government, I would like to see if

262
00:17:44,519 –> 00:17:46,880
we’re going to spend, if we have to spend American

263
00:17:46,960 –> 00:17:49,559
tax dollars, I would rather go to building your house

264
00:17:49,680 –> 00:17:51,920
than go to a proxy war in Ukraine or go

265
00:17:52,039 –> 00:17:54,079
to some third world country that wants to cut my

266
00:17:54,200 –> 00:17:56,400
head off because of my beliefs. Because I’m a Christian.

267
00:18:00,400 –> 00:18:02,440
If I have to pay taxes, that’s where I wanted

268
00:18:02,480 –> 00:18:04,559
to go. Some of you might not agree with me, so,

269
00:18:04,599 –> 00:18:06,160
I mean, you might be offended by what I’m saying.

270
00:18:06,200 –> 00:18:09,440
But where we want to take care of Americans first?

271
00:18:10,519 –> 00:18:13,079
And what is so wrong with America first? What is

272
00:18:13,160 –> 00:18:17,000
so wrong with America first? When you’re an American. If

273
00:18:17,039 –> 00:18:19,200
I was a German, you know what my philosophy would be,

274
00:18:19,400 –> 00:18:22,359
Germany first. If I was raining, you know what my

275
00:18:22,640 –> 00:18:25,200
philosophy would be. I ran first. If I was Russian,

276
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:27,200
you know what my philosophy would be, Russia first. You

277
00:18:27,279 –> 00:18:29,880
know why, because if I have to pay taxes into

278
00:18:29,960 –> 00:18:34,240
a government system. I want the benefit of that money

279
00:18:34,359 –> 00:18:40,480
being taken from my paycheck. I don’t want billions of

280
00:18:40,559 –> 00:18:45,480
dollars going overseas and mysteriously disappearing into never never Land.

281
00:18:46,279 –> 00:18:51,000
I want that money coming back to me. If I

282
00:18:51,200 –> 00:18:53,480
have a flood that takes my house down a river,

283
00:18:53,839 –> 00:18:56,079
or if I have a wildfire that burns my house

284
00:18:56,119 –> 00:19:02,599
to the ground, there you have it. And I don’t

285
00:19:02,640 –> 00:19:06,000
care who you vote for. I don’t care what religion

286
00:19:06,039 –> 00:19:08,160
you are. I don’t care anything about you. If you’re

287
00:19:08,240 –> 00:19:11,000
in this country legally, and you’re a citizen of this country,

288
00:19:11,039 –> 00:19:15,200
and you pay taxes, something like this happens. They ought

289
00:19:15,240 –> 00:19:17,720
to just suspend money going anywhere else in the whole

290
00:19:17,759 –> 00:19:21,119
world and focus right here on the United States rebuilding

291
00:19:21,200 –> 00:19:23,359
what we have to have. I’m sick and tire. Nobody

292
00:19:23,400 –> 00:19:26,240
else comes to our defense. I don’t see China rushing

293
00:19:26,279 –> 00:19:28,599
billions of dollars over here to help the people in

294
00:19:28,640 –> 00:19:33,480
North Carolina rebuild. Now, they might in Los Angeles, because well,

295
00:19:35,240 –> 00:19:39,400
they own a lot of it. But I say all

296
00:19:39,559 –> 00:19:44,279
this because I want you to hear Gavin Newsom’s response

297
00:19:45,359 –> 00:19:49,319
to this fire. I bookmarked this because this is going

298
00:19:49,400 –> 00:19:53,960
to be what I’m talking about tonight. In twenty twenty three,

299
00:19:54,079 –> 00:20:03,200
late twenty twenty three, I was involved. I attended a seminar.

300
00:20:03,480 –> 00:20:09,640
I attended an exercise supposedly a leadership exercise. The person

301
00:20:09,680 –> 00:20:14,000
who put this exercise on had a special job and

302
00:20:14,079 –> 00:20:18,759
a special thing in life. He was a policy maker.

303
00:20:19,279 –> 00:20:23,000
Not just a policy maker advisor. He was a risk

304
00:20:23,240 –> 00:20:29,640
management policy advisor. And I want you to be aware

305
00:20:29,799 –> 00:20:31,880
of what’s going on the reason I’m going down this

306
00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:34,440
rabbit hole is I want you, my dear listener, to

307
00:20:34,599 –> 00:20:38,400
be informed. I want you to be in the know

308
00:20:39,400 –> 00:20:42,680
that there is things, there are things going on right

309
00:20:42,960 –> 00:20:49,839
now that might not be what the people of North

310
00:20:49,880 –> 00:20:54,279
Carolina want, might not be with the people of Florida wants,

311
00:20:54,440 –> 00:20:56,880
might not be with the people even of California want,

312
00:20:56,880 –> 00:20:59,839
as blow as they are, might be working against them.

313
00:21:00,079 –> 00:21:02,640
I want you to listen to Gavin Newsom in this interview.

314
00:21:02,720 –> 00:21:07,640
This is an interview. I’m assuming it’s CNN because it

315
00:21:07,799 –> 00:21:10,920
just looks that derelict and staged. But I want you

316
00:21:11,000 –> 00:21:12,759
to listen to Gavin Newsom in this interview.

317
00:21:12,799 –> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Here we go.

318
00:21:13,640 –> 00:21:19,799
Speaker 6: Let me just jump back here. Stop this right here,

319
00:21:19,960 –> 00:21:22,119
press the buttons turn the volume up and here we go.

320
00:21:22,599 –> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 7: Well, of course, the next several years, Los Angeles will

321
00:21:24,440 –> 00:21:26,599
be host to the World Cup and then the Super

322
00:21:26,640 –> 00:21:31,519
Bowl and then the Olympics. With this rebuilding effort needing

323
00:21:31,599 –> 00:21:33,079
to take place, is l A going to be ready

324
00:21:33,079 –> 00:21:34,200
for all of those vobal events?

325
00:21:35,200 –> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 5: My humble position, and it’s it’s and it’s it’s not

326
00:21:38,400 –> 00:21:41,359
a newsom. You’re not humbles being naively optimi. Those humble

327
00:21:41,480 –> 00:21:44,839
is for the only reinforces near the imperative, moving quickly

328
00:21:45,559 –> 00:21:47,559
doing in the spirit of collaboration, cooperation.

329
00:21:47,920 –> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 6: This is also in the United States.

330
00:21:49,279 –> 00:21:52,079
Speaker 5: Donald Trump, to his credit, was helpful in getting the

331
00:21:52,119 –> 00:21:55,359
Olympics to the United States of America to get it

332
00:21:55,440 –> 00:21:56,240
down here in LA.

333
00:21:56,440 –> 00:21:57,279
Speaker 6: We thank him for that.

334
00:21:57,720 –> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 5: This is an opportunity for him to shine, for this country,

335
00:22:00,480 –> 00:22:03,720
to shine, for California, in this community, to shine the

336
00:22:03,799 –> 00:22:07,599
opportunity with all of that uh and all that opportunity

337
00:22:07,640 –> 00:22:09,119
and that pride and spirit that comes.

338
00:22:09,279 –> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 6: Are you feeling that, Donald Trump? You’re feeling those lips

339
00:22:11,279 –> 00:22:12,920
in your butt right now? My god.

340
00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 5: Anyways, not just hosting those three iconic games and venues,

341
00:22:17,640 –> 00:22:20,359
but also the opportunity I think to rebuild at the

342
00:22:20,400 –> 00:22:23,640
same time, and that’s why we’re already organizing a Marshall plan.

343
00:22:24,039 –> 00:22:26,640
We already have a team of looking and reimagining LA

344
00:22:26,759 –> 00:22:27,400
two point oh.

345
00:22:27,599 –> 00:22:28,559
Speaker 1: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

346
00:22:28,559 –> 00:22:31,599
Speaker 6: Wait, make sure every way wait wait wait, wait wait wait,

347
00:22:33,839 –> 00:22:39,440
you’re already organizing a Marshall plan. Did you hear that?

348
00:22:39,880 –> 00:22:41,640
You hear that? A Marshall plan.

349
00:22:42,039 –> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 5: We already have a team of looking and reimagining LA

350
00:22:44,759 –> 00:22:46,319
two point oh, And we’re.

351
00:22:46,119 –> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 6: Making already have a team reimagining LA two point oh.

352
00:22:53,839 –> 00:22:57,079
Are you hearing this? Are you hearing this? You’re already

353
00:22:57,599 –> 00:23:01,119
had You already have a team. Imagine you have people

354
00:23:01,400 –> 00:23:03,519
and I’m gonna I’m gonna tell you what this means

355
00:23:03,559 –> 00:23:07,279
in a minute. You already have a team reimagining. The

356
00:23:07,559 –> 00:23:13,119
fire isn’t even under control yet, and you already have

357
00:23:13,359 –> 00:23:18,079
a team reimagining LA two point oh. Go ahead, Gavin,

358
00:23:18,599 –> 00:23:19,680
show us your butt.

359
00:23:20,759 –> 00:23:23,559
Speaker 5: I think a Marshall plan. We already have a team

360
00:23:23,599 –> 00:23:26,519
of looking and reimagining LA two point oh. And we’re

361
00:23:26,559 –> 00:23:28,799
making sure everyone’s included, not just the folks on the

362
00:23:28,880 –> 00:23:32,119
coast of people here, Yeah, that we’re ravaged by this disaster.

363
00:23:32,279 –> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 7: You just said you’re organizing a Marshall plan for the

364
00:23:34,480 –> 00:23:35,720
rebuilding of California.

365
00:23:35,920 –> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 6: What is that marshall for? Well, it’s communism, of course,

366
00:23:40,720 –> 00:23:44,319
that’s what it is. It’s communism. They’re going to rebuild

367
00:23:45,279 –> 00:23:49,680
the California. They’re gonna rebuild Los Angeles to represent Moscow.

368
00:23:50,119 –> 00:23:52,880
That’s my that’s my thinking. Anyways, go ahead, Gavin.

369
00:23:53,759 –> 00:23:55,599
Speaker 5: Sm We’re just starting to lay out. I mean, we’re

370
00:23:55,640 –> 00:23:59,200
still fighting these fires. So we’re already talking to city leaders.

371
00:23:59,200 –> 00:24:01,839
We’re already talking to civic leaders. We’re already talking to

372
00:24:02,119 –> 00:24:05,799
business leaders or nonprofits. We’re talking about labor leaders. We’re

373
00:24:05,839 –> 00:24:08,599
starting to organize how we can put together a collection

374
00:24:08,720 –> 00:24:12,279
of individuals on philanthropy for recovery, how we can organize

375
00:24:12,319 –> 00:24:15,440
the region, how we can make sure that we are

376
00:24:15,559 –> 00:24:17,440
seeking federal assistance for.

377
00:24:18,039 –> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 6: That means you and I are going to have to

378
00:24:19,240 –> 00:24:21,680
pay for it, That’s what that means. That means you

379
00:24:21,799 –> 00:24:24,039
and I, who don’t live in California will be paying

380
00:24:24,119 –> 00:24:27,480
for this disaster. Okay, I really don’t mind paying. I mean,

381
00:24:27,559 –> 00:24:32,920
I’ve already personally donated money and clothing and supplies to

382
00:24:33,079 –> 00:24:36,519
North Carolina. Personally, I even loaded it on the truck

383
00:24:36,960 –> 00:24:39,680
along with a semi truck full of other things. Okay,

384
00:24:40,359 –> 00:24:42,319
but this guy is saying, no, we’re going to seek

385
00:24:42,359 –> 00:24:45,079
federal ef You know, California is supposed to be one

386
00:24:45,119 –> 00:24:47,880
of the one of the wealthiest states in the Union.

387
00:24:47,960 –> 00:24:50,160
Though they want you to pay for this. You’re you’re

388
00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:52,839
on the hook, folks. Sorry, Okay, go ahead, Gavin Shosher.

389
00:24:52,880 –> 00:24:57,079
Speaker 5: But how we can make sure that we are seeking

390
00:24:57,200 –> 00:25:01,319
federal assistance for the Olympics more broadly, also federal assistance

391
00:25:01,359 –> 00:25:05,119
for the recovery efforts, and how we can galvanize the

392
00:25:05,200 –> 00:25:09,960
community with folks that love this community to really develop

393
00:25:10,039 –> 00:25:13,400
a mindset so that at scale we’re dealing with the

394
00:25:13,559 –> 00:25:17,559
scope of this tragedy and responding to it at scale

395
00:25:17,839 –> 00:25:21,000
with efficiency. Like the executive Order, I talked about time

396
00:25:21,160 –> 00:25:25,960
value of delivering projects, addressing building codes, addressing permitting issues,

397
00:25:26,920 –> 00:25:29,519
moved to rebuilding and being more resident.

398
00:25:29,359 –> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 7: I gotta wishes several years Los Angeles will be hosted

399
00:25:32,720 –> 00:25:33,319
to I don’t.

400
00:25:33,119 –> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 6: Want to hear you anymore. Okay, So there you have it.

401
00:25:37,599 –> 00:25:42,400
Gavin Newsom number one already has a team. Now let

402
00:25:42,480 –> 00:25:45,839
me tell you what that means. Gavin Newsom has had

403
00:25:46,319 –> 00:25:49,400
a team. Gavin Newsom has put together this team a

404
00:25:49,519 –> 00:25:54,440
long time ago. This team is reimagining LA two point zero.

405
00:25:54,880 –> 00:25:58,160
This team has been reimagining LA two point zero for

406
00:25:58,319 –> 00:26:03,640
quite some time. My guess is the Obama years. That’s

407
00:26:03,640 –> 00:26:08,920
how long they have been reimagining LA two point zero. Now,

408
00:26:08,960 –> 00:26:13,200
I will also tell you this that I suspect that

409
00:26:13,359 –> 00:26:17,799
there is also a team in North Carolina, western North Carolina,

410
00:26:17,839 –> 00:26:20,640
but North Carolina, in the capital of North Carolina, who

411
00:26:20,799 –> 00:26:28,839
is reimagining where the flood occurred two point zero. And this,

412
00:26:29,359 –> 00:26:31,559
my friends, is what I want to get to tonight.

413
00:26:34,599 –> 00:26:40,240
This policymaker that I happened to encounter back at the

414
00:26:40,359 –> 00:26:43,119
end of twenty twenty three, Okay, I want a little contest.

415
00:26:43,240 –> 00:26:46,680
In this little contest, I received a book by him.

416
00:26:47,440 –> 00:26:53,759
I’m not going to mention his name. If you want

417
00:26:53,880 –> 00:26:56,000
to know dm me, I’ll give you the name of

418
00:26:56,039 –> 00:27:01,799
the book. But this is called the Ostrich Paradox. Now

419
00:27:01,920 –> 00:27:04,039
we assume according to this and it starts out good.

420
00:27:04,039 –> 00:27:06,559
All these books start out really good, because they you know,

421
00:27:06,640 –> 00:27:10,000
the left loves incrementalism. It all starts really good. All

422
00:27:10,039 –> 00:27:12,640
these disasters, a lot of these could have been avoided.

423
00:27:13,000 –> 00:27:16,359
And he goes through all of this logical. I don’t

424
00:27:16,440 –> 00:27:19,400
know the things that he has studied in his I’m

425
00:27:19,440 –> 00:27:22,400
assuming doctorates. I know he had a doctorates, and him

426
00:27:22,440 –> 00:27:25,119
and another gentleman wrote this book and he goes through

427
00:27:25,160 –> 00:27:30,200
all these biases that keep us from changing our habits,

428
00:27:30,680 –> 00:27:34,319
and we keep putting ourselves in danger. And at the

429
00:27:34,519 –> 00:27:36,079
end of the book, I want you to I’m going

430
00:27:36,160 –> 00:27:38,400
to read something to you right here. I’m not going

431
00:27:38,480 –> 00:27:40,160
to read all of it, but I want to read.

432
00:27:40,799 –> 00:27:42,960
It’s a thin book. It’s it’s like a day read,

433
00:27:43,039 –> 00:27:46,079
two day read for me because I like to absorb

434
00:27:46,160 –> 00:27:51,799
what i’m reading. And he means he’s he’s concluding this book. Now,

435
00:27:51,880 –> 00:27:54,960
this person is a policy advisor. If you want to

436
00:27:55,119 –> 00:27:59,160
know why when something happens out of the blue, a

437
00:27:59,240 –> 00:28:03,079
two thousand page law is all of a sudden plopped

438
00:28:03,160 –> 00:28:06,960
down into the anals of Congress for us to vote

439
00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:09,559
on so we can find out what’s in it. It

440
00:28:09,680 –> 00:28:13,880
comes from people like this who already have these policies written.

441
00:28:14,200 –> 00:28:17,240
They just have to fill out a few forms and say,

442
00:28:17,319 –> 00:28:21,440
here you go, mister politician, here’s the policy. All you

443
00:28:21,559 –> 00:28:24,000
have to do is get this past trust me on this.

444
00:28:24,799 –> 00:28:28,119
So I’m going to he goes through all these biases

445
00:28:28,240 –> 00:28:32,240
that keep putting us since the beginning of time, that

446
00:28:32,319 –> 00:28:36,400
has been putting us into catastrophes way, and how we

447
00:28:36,480 –> 00:28:40,279
can get out of it through policy. And this is

448
00:28:40,359 –> 00:28:42,440
what he says. This is the almost the end of

449
00:28:42,480 –> 00:28:47,200
the book. So we’re naturally led to protective decisions by

450
00:28:47,319 –> 00:28:50,920
the latter three of our six major biases. These biases

451
00:28:51,039 –> 00:28:56,319
are inertia, simplification, and hurting such as well, there’s more too,

452
00:28:57,640 –> 00:29:01,519
but such decisions and environments might be marked by four

453
00:29:01,640 –> 00:29:04,000
major features. Now let me read this again, so I’m

454
00:29:04,079 –> 00:29:07,960
perfectly clear. We are naturally led to protective decisions by

455
00:29:08,000 –> 00:29:12,400
the latter three of our six major biases, inertia, simplification,

456
00:29:12,519 –> 00:29:17,839
and hurting. Now these are you know, my degree is

457
00:29:17,880 –> 00:29:21,119
an organizational leadership. So I’ve studied these biases and this

458
00:29:21,279 –> 00:29:24,200
is what I’ve actually some of the things. I’m not

459
00:29:24,799 –> 00:29:30,200
unfamiliar with any of this. But he focuses on inertia, simplification,

460
00:29:30,319 –> 00:29:36,799
and hurting. So he says such decisions, such decision environments

461
00:29:36,920 –> 00:29:40,119
might be marked by four major features. One he’s talking

462
00:29:40,119 –> 00:29:43,599
about change. This is a change that this person, this

463
00:29:43,680 –> 00:29:46,839
team that wrote the books wants for you, not him

464
00:29:46,960 –> 00:29:52,720
you one, well enforced regulations and standards. This is the

465
00:29:52,799 –> 00:29:56,240
idea that people have difficulties seeing the benefits of voluntary

466
00:29:56,279 –> 00:29:59,680
investment in the long term. Residential safety is hardly a

467
00:29:59,720 –> 00:30:02,799
new one, and this forms the basis of the most

468
00:30:02,920 –> 00:30:09,359
widely adopted protective measures, well enforced regulations and standards by

469
00:30:09,440 –> 00:30:13,079
either the private or public sector that ensure safety with

470
00:30:13,359 –> 00:30:17,200
any violations subject to penalties or fines. Okay, I’m not

471
00:30:17,240 –> 00:30:19,000
going to read the rest of it, but what is that?

472
00:30:19,160 –> 00:30:26,920
What does that translate to bureaucracy? Yes, more bureaucracy. It’s

473
00:30:27,000 –> 00:30:31,319
not like we don’t have enough. We need protected from ourselves,

474
00:30:31,599 –> 00:30:36,160
so we need more bureaucracy. And let me know in

475
00:30:36,319 –> 00:30:45,119
chat what you think about more bureaucracy. Number two zoning ordinances.

476
00:30:46,359 –> 00:30:50,519
One of the more vexing problems facing policymakers after major

477
00:30:50,559 –> 00:30:54,640
catastrophes is whether to permit reconstruction and areas that have

478
00:30:54,799 –> 00:30:57,599
been damaged. Okay, I’m going to read this to you again.

479
00:30:57,839 –> 00:31:00,759
I want you to absorb this into your gray matter,

480
00:31:00,920 –> 00:31:04,559
into your skin, into your very essence. One of the

481
00:31:04,720 –> 00:31:10,359
more vexing problems facing policy makers after major catastrophes, which

482
00:31:10,400 –> 00:31:14,920
is what we just had is whether to permit reconstruction

483
00:31:15,480 –> 00:31:20,480
in areas that have been damaged. Now, this is number two.

484
00:31:21,200 –> 00:31:25,920
And remember this guy goes to Lancing, our capitol in Michigan.

485
00:31:26,039 –> 00:31:29,680
He goes to Washington, DC. He’s a very important person.

486
00:31:30,160 –> 00:31:36,680
He advises the politicians on the policies, and one of

487
00:31:36,759 –> 00:31:41,759
them is whether to permit reconstruction areas that have been damaged.

488
00:31:42,039 –> 00:31:45,720
My god, we need protecting from ourselves. We’re stupid, little

489
00:31:45,799 –> 00:31:52,640
unwashed masses. Number three and I hope you’re listening to this.

490
00:31:52,920 –> 00:32:00,480
Number three buy out for relocating homes. And he goes

491
00:32:00,519 –> 00:32:04,720
on to say, one tool for combating this tendency to

492
00:32:04,799 –> 00:32:09,599
rebuild in areas prone to recurrent losses is buy back

493
00:32:09,839 –> 00:32:14,720
programs that award owners with cash for destroyed properties on

494
00:32:14,920 –> 00:32:21,880
conditions that the lots not be rebuilt. Guys, guys, I

495
00:32:22,039 –> 00:32:24,480
bought this in twenty twenty or I won this in

496
00:32:24,559 –> 00:32:30,200
twenty twenty three, twenty twenty three, And what is he

497
00:32:30,400 –> 00:32:34,240
talking about right here? Remember Gavin Newsom saying we already

498
00:32:34,319 –> 00:32:37,279
have a team in place to take care of this problem,

499
00:32:37,640 –> 00:32:40,960
reimagining Los Angeles two point Oh okay, I’m on number

500
00:32:41,039 –> 00:32:44,519
three of what this team is probably doing right now.

501
00:32:45,279 –> 00:32:48,400
I’m on number three of what this team its counterpart

502
00:32:48,440 –> 00:32:54,519
in North Carolina is probably doing right now. These are

503
00:32:54,559 –> 00:32:57,480
the policy advisors. I think it goes on to say,

504
00:32:57,559 –> 00:33:00,680
number four, long term tax and stimps. Okay, let’s focus

505
00:33:00,759 –> 00:33:03,799
on number three again. Okay, the buy back for relocating homes.

506
00:33:03,880 –> 00:33:08,559
Number one, buy back, mister government, you didn’t sell it

507
00:33:08,680 –> 00:33:11,960
to me in the first place. Number two, mister government,

508
00:33:12,039 –> 00:33:16,319
you’re not going to give me the money plus interest

509
00:33:16,559 –> 00:33:21,799
plus appreciation of that property when you buy it back.

510
00:33:22,480 –> 00:33:27,559
It’s just like quote gun buybacks unquote. It’s the same philosophy.

511
00:33:27,960 –> 00:33:31,079
Guns are hurting people, so we have to buy them back. Well,

512
00:33:31,119 –> 00:33:33,000
you didn’t sell them to me. And not only that,

513
00:33:33,240 –> 00:33:36,279
but you’re mentally unstable, mister government as a whole, so

514
00:33:36,400 –> 00:33:38,680
you don’t need a government. I have done a background

515
00:33:38,759 –> 00:33:41,039
check on the government. You don’t need my gun because

516
00:33:41,039 –> 00:33:44,400
you’re all nuts, so you don’t get to buy it.

517
00:33:44,720 –> 00:33:46,039
And you didn’t sell it to you anyway, so you

518
00:33:46,039 –> 00:33:50,200
don’t get to buy it back. I continue long term

519
00:33:50,319 –> 00:33:53,759
tax incentives. A final example of how communities might encourage

520
00:33:54,119 –> 00:33:57,799
forward looking building practices is to the provision of long

521
00:33:57,960 –> 00:34:01,799
term tax incentives. Much in the same way that cities

522
00:34:01,960 –> 00:34:05,799
often use tax abatements to encourage development of blighted areas.

523
00:34:06,640 –> 00:34:12,000
Abatements and possibly surcharges can be used to steer developments

524
00:34:12,039 –> 00:34:15,639
away from high risk barrier islands to safer areas farther

525
00:34:15,840 –> 00:34:25,519
in land. Steer guide dictate LA two point zero, North

526
00:34:25,599 –> 00:34:28,719
Carolina two point zero. Are you getting it yet?

527
00:34:29,199 –> 00:34:29,519
Speaker 1: Folks?

528
00:34:29,599 –> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 6: Are you getting it? There are people out there whose

529
00:34:36,920 –> 00:34:39,800
whole lives and these people do believe, they believed on

530
00:34:39,920 –> 00:34:44,639
these two guys, great guys. The one I met, great guy, friendly,

531
00:34:45,159 –> 00:34:49,159
we talked. I do believe he had a basic understanding

532
00:34:49,280 –> 00:34:53,559
of who I was and what I represented. We didn’t

533
00:34:53,599 –> 00:34:59,320
talk politics. And these guys do believe in their hearts

534
00:34:59,400 –> 00:35:01,480
that they are the good guys and they’re saving the

535
00:35:01,559 –> 00:35:06,000
world by guiding you, guiding you into things that you

536
00:35:06,159 –> 00:35:08,320
may not want to do. Now, North Carolina, they had

537
00:35:08,800 –> 00:35:13,280
one flood in one hundred years. One hundred years. I

538
00:35:13,400 –> 00:35:19,360
don’t call that high risk. It does happen, But does

539
00:35:19,400 –> 00:35:24,360
it dictate moving everybody out of that valley never to

540
00:35:24,480 –> 00:35:27,639
populate it again. Does it dictate the government giving you

541
00:35:27,760 –> 00:35:31,239
pinis on a dollar for your property, a booting you

542
00:35:31,400 –> 00:35:34,679
to the curb in Los Angeles? Does it dictate and

543
00:35:34,719 –> 00:35:37,400
they’re going to have a harder time in LA because

544
00:35:37,400 –> 00:35:40,840
these are rich Democrats. Does it dictate you moving all

545
00:35:40,880 –> 00:35:44,079
the people out of the hills? Even though that wildfire

546
00:35:44,239 –> 00:35:46,559
was not caused by quote climate change on quote, that

547
00:35:46,639 –> 00:35:49,239
wildfire was caused by arsonists. We’re finding out more and more,

548
00:35:49,920 –> 00:35:53,280
just like the last round of California fires were step

549
00:35:53,320 –> 00:35:56,480
by and now there’s all kinds of videos coming out

550
00:35:56,559 –> 00:35:59,800
of people setting fires. Did they set the original ones?

551
00:36:00,039 –> 00:36:05,719
I don’t know, maybe not, probably not. No clue. But

552
00:36:05,880 –> 00:36:10,079
here’s the thing you need to be advised. This is

553
00:36:10,400 –> 00:36:15,039
one person, actually this is two people risk management policy advisors.

554
00:36:16,360 –> 00:36:25,960
There are probably assumedly hundreds hundreds of policy advisors just

555
00:36:26,480 –> 00:36:35,679
like this guiding you, guiding you, dictating where you can

556
00:36:35,800 –> 00:36:43,960
and cannot build, encouraging policy to the lawmakers. You want

557
00:36:44,000 –> 00:36:46,559
to know where your two thousand page laws come from.

558
00:36:46,639 –> 00:36:50,440
Every time something comes up, there you go, we’re gonna

559
00:36:50,440 –> 00:36:52,119
take a short break. We’re gonna do a little commercial.

560
00:36:52,159 –> 00:36:54,480
When we come back, we’re gonna carry on. I promise,

561
00:36:54,599 –> 00:36:59,960
not quite as ranty. I shouldn’t make promises I can’t keep.

562
00:37:01,280 –> 00:37:02,960
We’ll be all right, back, don’t go on earth.

608
00:39:39,039 –> 00:39:43,760
I almost id’d. I almost said my call sign. Oh

609
00:39:44,000 –> 00:39:47,000
my gosh. I mean, you know, in ham radio, you

610
00:39:47,079 –> 00:39:50,840
gotta you should technically id every ten minutes. That’s the

611
00:39:51,000 –> 00:39:53,760
FCC regulation. Of course, I haven’t seen one of the

612
00:39:53,800 –> 00:39:57,480
OBESFCC lard butts, get out of their chair and come

613
00:39:57,559 –> 00:40:00,639
find anybody for not doing it. We like to play

614
00:40:00,719 –> 00:40:05,039
by the rules. Speaking of that, and I’m done ranting

615
00:40:05,199 –> 00:40:10,679
about California, North Carolina, Okay, and we are going to

616
00:40:10,760 –> 00:40:13,159
ran a little bit about some things that disappeared out

617
00:40:13,199 –> 00:40:15,480
of the media. And I think that I think the

618
00:40:15,679 –> 00:40:19,760
media is really really happy they disappeared. You know, every

619
00:40:19,800 –> 00:40:24,280
once in a while, I think I think they get,

620
00:40:25,039 –> 00:40:29,119
you know, the media, the legacy media, mainstream media, whatever

621
00:40:29,159 –> 00:40:31,199
you want to call it, I called the Democrat mouthpiece

622
00:40:31,280 –> 00:40:35,440
media paint themselves into a corner and when something like

623
00:40:35,639 –> 00:40:39,440
the fire in California happens, they almost breathe a sigh

624
00:40:39,440 –> 00:40:43,000
of relief because all of the lies and misinformation they’ve

625
00:40:43,039 –> 00:40:47,519
told up to that point disappear. And we’ll talk about

626
00:40:47,519 –> 00:40:49,840
that in just a minute about stories that have disappeared.

627
00:40:50,880 –> 00:40:53,320
Let’s talk ham radio. This is my and you’ve never

628
00:40:53,400 –> 00:40:56,400
heard my show before. I’m a ham radio operator. I

629
00:40:56,519 –> 00:40:59,920
have been since twenty twenty, since COVID hit. In fact,

630
00:41:00,079 –> 00:41:02,840
I was studying for my license when COVID hit and

631
00:41:02,960 –> 00:41:05,280
I and when they shut everything down, I actually had

632
00:41:05,320 –> 00:41:07,840
to find a place that was still testing so I

633
00:41:07,880 –> 00:41:11,079
could get tested and get my tech license, and then

634
00:41:11,079 –> 00:41:13,119
I got my general license. I don’t know if I’m

635
00:41:13,119 –> 00:41:15,480
gonna get anything other than my general I really don’t

636
00:41:15,519 –> 00:41:19,320
care to the eggheads do the you know, the people

637
00:41:19,440 –> 00:41:23,440
actually build radios and filters and all that crap. They

638
00:41:23,519 –> 00:41:25,960
get their advanced and I don’t have a problem with that,

639
00:41:26,079 –> 00:41:28,440
and I may do it someday because it opens up

640
00:41:28,519 –> 00:41:31,880
more bands. But I’m really really happy just playing around

641
00:41:31,920 –> 00:41:33,800
with my hundred watts and one hundred and thirty two

642
00:41:33,840 –> 00:41:37,000
foot wire and I’m playing with a couple of digital

643
00:41:37,079 –> 00:41:43,440
modes and well, and I’ll get with Jeff, and Jeff

644
00:41:43,880 –> 00:41:47,119
hopefully he’s got enough patience to teach this old dog

645
00:41:47,239 –> 00:41:50,639
some new tricks, because I’m gonna try some video here

646
00:41:50,800 –> 00:41:53,480
up and coming soon and you’re not gonna see my

647
00:41:53,679 –> 00:41:55,840
ugly face. You don’t need to. I don’t want you to,

648
00:41:56,440 –> 00:41:59,039
because you know, you never know, and i’d be picking

649
00:41:59,079 –> 00:42:01,480
my nose while I’m, you know, trying to do this stuff.

650
00:42:03,920 –> 00:42:06,960
I might be naked right now. Do you want to

651
00:42:07,000 –> 00:42:13,000
see that? I don’t think so. Anyways, I bought a

652
00:42:13,480 –> 00:42:18,320
b Tech UV Pro. Of course, Radioity makes a version

653
00:42:18,360 –> 00:42:20,519
of it. And there’s another manufacturer that makes a version

654
00:42:20,519 –> 00:42:22,800
of this exact same radio. It’s exact same radio. They

655
00:42:22,880 –> 00:42:26,000
just somebody else stamp their stuff on it. And this

656
00:42:26,360 –> 00:42:31,519
radio is one hundred and sixty bucks and it comes

657
00:42:31,679 –> 00:42:37,079
with APRS, and it comes with a firmware update. And

658
00:42:37,199 –> 00:42:45,159
the new firmware update is absolutely phenomenal. Now, Rex Rex,

659
00:42:45,239 –> 00:42:47,400
he bought that, he bought that radio. He says, I

660
00:42:47,480 –> 00:42:52,920
lost interest in the radio thing. It’s hard, so I quit. Welcome,

661
00:42:53,199 –> 00:42:55,079
Welcome to AM radio. I can’t tell you how many

662
00:42:55,079 –> 00:43:01,760
people have done that. Oh man, Rex, I have so

663
00:43:01,880 –> 00:43:03,639
many radios around here, and what did I do? I

664
00:43:03,679 –> 00:43:06,960
bought another one, but this one has APRS. APRS basically

665
00:43:07,159 –> 00:43:09,840
is a built in GPS into the radio. Now, a

666
00:43:09,920 –> 00:43:12,000
lot of people spend their time saying, well, I don’t

667
00:43:12,039 –> 00:43:15,880
want GPS tracking me. Well, there are times where it

668
00:43:15,960 –> 00:43:18,840
could be useful to have GPS tracking you. If you’re

669
00:43:19,880 –> 00:43:22,440
in the hills or in the woods up north, hiking

670
00:43:22,639 –> 00:43:26,400
or something like that. GPS tracking you could be a

671
00:43:26,440 –> 00:43:32,159
good thing because if your friends, your ham radio friends

672
00:43:32,800 –> 00:43:35,920
are on their computers, they can bring up the APRS

673
00:43:36,039 –> 00:43:40,960
website and they can see right where you are. Everybody

674
00:43:41,000 –> 00:43:42,320
can see where you are, but they can see right

675
00:43:42,360 –> 00:43:44,559
where you are if you’re doing something crazy out there

676
00:43:44,960 –> 00:43:47,719
doing things. It’s good stuff. But let me tell you

677
00:43:47,800 –> 00:43:51,760
one more thing about this radio. This UV pro combined

678
00:43:51,920 –> 00:43:54,960
with a cell phone or a tablet, and I have

679
00:43:55,039 –> 00:43:58,480
found the tablet is much easier to use. And a

680
00:43:58,719 –> 00:44:03,039
program called woe ad which is win link for Android.

681
00:44:05,000 –> 00:44:10,159
Today I sent emails out using just this little handheld

682
00:44:10,280 –> 00:44:14,320
radio and a tablet that hooked to it by Bluetooth.

683
00:44:16,159 –> 00:44:19,760
The latest firmware has what they call KISSTNC, which is

684
00:44:20,280 –> 00:44:23,760
basically a little program that allows it. It’s a modem

685
00:44:24,079 –> 00:44:27,239
for all practical purposes. It’s a modem. If if your

686
00:44:28,039 –> 00:44:31,719
gen X you remember dial up. It sounds just like

687
00:44:31,880 –> 00:44:35,400
dial up. It sounds just like dial up. It allows

688
00:44:35,480 –> 00:44:37,719
you to send and it’s as slow as dial up.

689
00:44:37,760 –> 00:44:41,239
It allows you to send emails on the run where

690
00:44:41,320 –> 00:44:47,280
there’s no no cell phones, no hope for anything like

691
00:44:48,760 –> 00:44:52,840
internet access. Of course, I can already see that it’s

692
00:44:52,920 –> 00:44:56,360
days are limited because thanks to Elon Musk. But you

693
00:44:56,480 –> 00:44:58,719
never known that’s going to go away too, And it’s

694
00:44:58,920 –> 00:45:02,039
fun to hook And let me just explain this. I’ll

695
00:45:02,039 –> 00:45:06,440
do a layman’s term explanation. Wind Link is basically you

696
00:45:06,559 –> 00:45:09,400
can either do it person to person. So in other words,

697
00:45:09,519 –> 00:45:14,320
if you’re a mile away and a handheld will transmit

698
00:45:14,360 –> 00:45:17,719
a mile, no problem. Digital on handheld probably more. And

699
00:45:17,880 –> 00:45:20,719
if if there’s a clear flat area and somebody’s up

700
00:45:20,760 –> 00:45:23,119
on a hill or something, it’d be a couple, you know,

701
00:45:23,239 –> 00:45:25,599
three four, five miles, ten miles. You know, it’s all

702
00:45:25,719 –> 00:45:29,119
line of sight in two meter and seventy centimeter. But

703
00:45:29,239 –> 00:45:32,920
what it allows you to do is send emails via

704
00:45:33,199 –> 00:45:37,960
wind Link, which is a program that you know allows

705
00:45:38,039 –> 00:45:45,079
you to send transmissions radio transmissions that include emails. And

706
00:45:45,159 –> 00:45:47,159
you can send these emails if you’re using you know,

707
00:45:47,400 –> 00:45:50,760
if you’re hooking to a digitpeter a repeater, and these

708
00:45:50,840 –> 00:45:55,880
repeaters are hf uhf VHF, I can get on my

709
00:45:56,039 –> 00:45:58,840
big radio, and I can send one of these emails

710
00:45:58,880 –> 00:46:02,079
all the way to California and have it transmit to

711
00:46:02,159 –> 00:46:07,199
my kids in Grand Rapids, Michigan. No, so, I hope

712
00:46:07,239 –> 00:46:10,400
you’re getting the vision of this. If the proverbial doo

713
00:46:10,440 –> 00:46:14,000
doo hits the fan in this area, there is no

714
00:46:14,360 –> 00:46:17,079
you know, like like in North Carolina, like in Florida,

715
00:46:17,159 –> 00:46:20,480
deer in the hurricanes, and wind Link played a big

716
00:46:20,800 –> 00:46:23,679
role in those areas. I can get on a small

717
00:46:23,960 –> 00:46:28,360
hf rig five hundred miles away, link into a wind

718
00:46:28,440 –> 00:46:33,519
Link repeater, send my kids email saying hey, I’m okay.

719
00:46:34,840 –> 00:46:37,880
And now they’re not encrypted. You can’t send personal information,

720
00:46:38,119 –> 00:46:41,719
you can’t transfer money. I wouldn’t. Well, anybody can get

721
00:46:41,800 –> 00:46:45,920
on and read anybody’s messages. But you can see the

722
00:46:46,119 –> 00:46:49,079
value that you can send something saying hey I’m here,

723
00:46:49,280 –> 00:46:53,320
I’m okay, you know here I am. And if you’re

724
00:46:53,320 –> 00:46:55,440
a Ham radio operator, they are what they call wind

725
00:46:55,519 –> 00:47:00,159
Link Wednesdays where they just practiced this. Well, now I

726
00:47:00,199 –> 00:47:02,719
can sit here and hear in my little home, which

727
00:47:02,760 –> 00:47:05,239
the power goes out all the time. We’re expecting ice

728
00:47:05,360 –> 00:47:09,760
rains soon after this show is done. I can send

729
00:47:11,400 –> 00:47:15,679
emails through the repeater down in Toledo and Arbor over

730
00:47:15,800 –> 00:47:19,079
by Monroe. I can send emails to them if I

731
00:47:19,199 –> 00:47:22,960
don’t have any Internet access at all, and it’ll still

732
00:47:23,000 –> 00:47:26,719
get to my kids through wind link through the radio.

733
00:47:26,760 –> 00:47:29,000
It good travels to the radio. Or if you have

734
00:47:29,159 –> 00:47:34,519
two people that both have this, and you know, my

735
00:47:34,920 –> 00:47:37,679
other laptop hooks to the main wind link thing. But WOAD,

736
00:47:37,719 –> 00:47:40,960
which is when link br Android has a nice little program,

737
00:47:41,280 –> 00:47:45,039
really easy to use, very stupid simple to use, and

738
00:47:45,480 –> 00:47:47,920
I can send messages and they can send them back.

739
00:47:48,239 –> 00:47:51,440
Now I can do the same thing for APRS. APRS

740
00:47:51,559 –> 00:47:54,679
allows you to send some messages too, So if you’ve

741
00:47:54,719 –> 00:47:57,519
got two ham radio operators using APRS and they’re a

742
00:47:57,519 –> 00:47:59,199
couple of miles away from each other, they can text

743
00:47:59,239 –> 00:48:01,440
each other, can send messages to where they are, what

744
00:48:01,519 –> 00:48:04,719
they’re doing, whatever, and it gets through even if there’s

745
00:48:04,800 –> 00:48:10,400
noisy conditions. Kind of neat stuff. Just letting you know.

746
00:48:10,679 –> 00:48:13,679
And also I feel like I’m I feel like I

747
00:48:13,719 –> 00:48:16,639
should win the Nobel Peace Prize. Now I’m just talking

748
00:48:16,840 –> 00:48:22,679
smack here because during Christmas break I bought one of these.

749
00:48:23,719 –> 00:48:26,320
It’s a pretty decent FMI. I made sure I got

750
00:48:26,400 –> 00:48:28,920
the best one I could for the bang for the buck.

751
00:48:29,480 –> 00:48:35,199
It’s a bluetooth transmitter, not receiver transmitter. It will receive,

752
00:48:35,360 –> 00:48:38,599
but I’ve got it set for transmit. And now I’ve

753
00:48:38,679 –> 00:48:44,480
got these Orlando Go speakers that just drape over your neck.

754
00:48:44,599 –> 00:48:49,679
They hang on your shoulders. They’re not headphones. Headphones after

755
00:48:49,679 –> 00:48:51,920
a while get on my nerves. Headphones don’t allow you

756
00:48:52,079 –> 00:48:55,440
to hear what’s going on around you. All you hear

757
00:48:55,519 –> 00:48:58,159
is what’s in the headphones. These speakers, you can go

758
00:48:58,239 –> 00:49:00,199
out walking and I use them for extresses. See them

759
00:49:00,199 –> 00:49:02,880
from when I’m out walking or whatever. And they’re hanging

760
00:49:03,000 –> 00:49:07,400
on my shoulders, and they got really good sound. And

761
00:49:08,559 –> 00:49:10,960
you walk around and you’ve got music playing. It’s all cool. Well,

762
00:49:11,039 –> 00:49:13,599
I took this transmitter, I plugged it into my big

763
00:49:13,880 –> 00:49:17,480
Jazu FT seven and I hooked it up to these

764
00:49:17,599 –> 00:49:20,760
Orlando speakers, and my god, I could hear things that

765
00:49:20,800 –> 00:49:24,000
I’ve never heard before, stuff that was way down into

766
00:49:24,079 –> 00:49:26,960
the noise floor and the static I could hear people talking.

767
00:49:28,159 –> 00:49:32,280
Made so many more contacts. And I a friend of mine,

768
00:49:32,360 –> 00:49:34,400
Mark and Georgia was telling him about it, and he

769
00:49:34,440 –> 00:49:36,159
goes way way wait wait, email me to let me

770
00:49:36,239 –> 00:49:38,119
know what you have, so I did, and he’s like,

771
00:49:38,360 –> 00:49:40,519
that’s ingenious. Can you talk through him too? I was like, no,

772
00:49:40,599 –> 00:49:43,159
I haven’t figured that out yet, but I’m gonna try.

773
00:49:43,280 –> 00:49:45,440
I’m gonna see if I can make it where I

774
00:49:45,519 –> 00:49:49,039
can get an adapter through DX engineering that allows me

775
00:49:49,159 –> 00:49:55,840
to talk and listen just through voice operations. So it’s

776
00:49:56,079 –> 00:50:00,840
kind of neat. And yes, I’ve we got Samsung of

777
00:50:00,840 –> 00:50:03,079
your buds two rex that do that same thing. It’s

778
00:50:03,119 –> 00:50:06,599
got passed through you can hear it. But still having

779
00:50:06,679 –> 00:50:08,920
something hanging on your neck, you know, hanging around your

780
00:50:08,960 –> 00:50:11,880
neck that you can hear, and that stuff in your

781
00:50:11,920 –> 00:50:14,719
ears or over your ears. To me, it’s just there’s

782
00:50:14,840 –> 00:50:17,199
days where I’d rather have that. It’s just a little

783
00:50:17,280 –> 00:50:19,719
less annoying. Plus with this, uh this bluetooth, I can

784
00:50:19,760 –> 00:50:22,320
get a walk around the house, I can still hear things.

785
00:50:23,800 –> 00:50:26,480
Kind of neat. So anyways, yeah, we got a little

786
00:50:26,480 –> 00:50:28,880
bit more ten minute, We got about ten minutes to go. Oh,

787
00:50:29,000 –> 00:50:31,360
let me tell you what’s going on in Michigan right now.

788
00:50:31,440 –> 00:50:38,440
There’s a few things. Number One, the DNR, along with

789
00:50:38,880 –> 00:50:46,719
Grudge got busted. People are getting tired of their crap

790
00:50:50,400 –> 00:50:51,679
and surely they’ll learn from this.

791
00:50:51,880 –> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: Surely you can’t be serious.

792
00:50:53,559 –> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 2: I am serious, and don’t call me surely.

793
00:50:57,119 –> 00:50:59,679
Speaker 6: In Galored, Michigan. This is last week. This was right

794
00:50:59,719 –> 00:51:01,760
after the first of the year Galard, Michigan spell. The

795
00:51:01,800 –> 00:51:06,000
Michigan lawmakers are expressing outrage about plans to lease four

796
00:51:06,119 –> 00:51:11,360
hundred and twenty acres of state forest land they were planning.

797
00:51:11,440 –> 00:51:16,679
And this is in Otsego County up by Gaillard. Woodland,

798
00:51:16,800 –> 00:51:20,840
hunting land, land where eagles, bald eagles fly, land, where

799
00:51:20,920 –> 00:51:25,320
deer live, land where there’s fox and raccoons, and you

800
00:51:25,519 –> 00:51:27,440
name it. Any kind of animal you think of that

801
00:51:27,880 –> 00:51:29,880
exists in the state of Michigan are probably in these woods.

802
00:51:30,199 –> 00:51:34,599
Four hundred and twenty acres. The Department of Natural Resources

803
00:51:34,639 –> 00:51:39,760
in Michigan, under the directorship of Gretchen Whitmer, Governor Grutz Whitmer,

804
00:51:40,400 –> 00:51:43,639
we’re going to level this four hundred and twenty acres

805
00:51:43,679 –> 00:51:51,559
and build what a solar farm. Well, the people in

806
00:51:51,719 –> 00:51:55,559
Gaillard didn’t take kindly to that. They rose up, they

807
00:51:55,679 –> 00:51:57,880
hired lawyers, they went in and they said, what, no,

808
00:51:58,199 –> 00:52:03,119
you’re not going to do that. Gailored area exists because

809
00:52:03,239 –> 00:52:09,519
people hunt. Gaylored makes its money off people hunting people

810
00:52:09,639 –> 00:52:13,000
going up there, deer hunting and spending their money in

811
00:52:13,119 –> 00:52:21,239
that area, just like Gretch wanted to wants to tear

812
00:52:21,320 –> 00:52:26,679
out a thousand acres right in my backyard to build

813
00:52:26,719 –> 00:52:31,320
another one of her planet heating solar farms. Come to

814
00:52:31,360 –> 00:52:34,679
find out she was doing this all over the state.

815
00:52:35,239 –> 00:52:41,480
And now people are awaken. Now, people are fighting back now,

816
00:52:42,079 –> 00:52:46,320
and I forget shame on me for not getting this number.

817
00:52:47,320 –> 00:52:52,199
But there’s several, several The list of counties suing the

818
00:52:52,400 –> 00:52:59,840
state is growing substantially. They don’t want these solar farms.

819
00:53:01,000 –> 00:53:05,920
What I’m not seeing from our dear governor his plans

820
00:53:06,079 –> 00:53:11,079
to take down all of them dilapidated warehouses up in

821
00:53:11,159 –> 00:53:16,920
Detroit and build solar farms there, and plans to build

822
00:53:17,079 –> 00:53:20,519
canopies over the top of these. Just thousands and thousands

823
00:53:20,599 –> 00:53:25,920
and thousands of acres of parking lots in Detroit, Flint, Saganaw, Kalamazoo,

824
00:53:26,039 –> 00:53:35,199
Grand Rapids, Saganaw, Muskegon, thousands of acres of parking lots,

825
00:53:35,639 –> 00:53:39,079
building canopies with solar panels over the top of them,

826
00:53:39,480 –> 00:53:44,559
right in the cities where they use the most electricity. No, No,

827
00:53:45,199 –> 00:53:51,320
he wants to destroy farmland, destroy woodland, destroy nature. Where

828
00:53:51,639 –> 00:53:55,719
are they gonna put solar parking lots and lancing? In fact,

829
00:53:55,960 –> 00:53:58,079
I think they should just level Lancing and just put

830
00:53:58,159 –> 00:54:00,599
up all the solar panels there. Just tear down. They

831
00:54:00,639 –> 00:54:02,559
don’t need to meet there. They can meet in a

832
00:54:03,159 –> 00:54:06,920
VFW hall somewhere every couple of weeks to run the state.

833
00:54:10,280 –> 00:54:13,960
Why tear out nature to put these stupid solar panels

834
00:54:14,039 –> 00:54:18,679
up at my antisolar No, but I’m a realist. Solar

835
00:54:19,039 –> 00:54:26,079
is only good to enhance the electric grid, not run it.

836
00:54:26,559 –> 00:54:29,719
It is not and it never will be a primary

837
00:54:29,840 –> 00:54:34,320
source of power unless some nerd somewhere can figure out

838
00:54:34,360 –> 00:54:37,800
a way to get solar panels more than thirty percent efficient.

839
00:54:38,360 –> 00:54:40,920
And when you’re in Michigan, we haven’t seen the sun.

840
00:54:41,440 –> 00:54:43,119
I think we’ve seen the sun maybe an hour in

841
00:54:43,159 –> 00:54:51,199
the past month. These people are idiots, they’re moras. There’s

842
00:54:51,239 –> 00:54:53,760
a small solar farm not too far from here already.

843
00:54:55,119 –> 00:54:57,599
And here’s what cracks me up. The solar panels are

844
00:54:57,719 –> 00:55:04,559
facing due east. They’re facing straight east. And I commented

845
00:55:04,599 –> 00:55:06,119
to my wife today as we drove by, to say,

846
00:55:06,199 –> 00:55:09,199
they can’t be active. They can’t be They should be

847
00:55:09,360 –> 00:55:13,440
following the sun they’re facing due east. They’re not doing

848
00:55:13,559 –> 00:55:16,719
anybody any good. The solar panels have to be facing

849
00:55:16,880 –> 00:55:19,320
right at the sun at about a thirty degree angle,

850
00:55:19,360 –> 00:55:22,320
depending on the time of the year. I’m not stupid

851
00:55:22,360 –> 00:55:24,599
when it comes to solar panels. I have solar panels.

852
00:55:24,599 –> 00:55:28,039
I use them to charge different things, batteries and stuff

853
00:55:28,119 –> 00:55:31,360
like that. I know how they work, and I know

854
00:55:31,519 –> 00:55:33,920
when they don’t work. And Michigan hasn’t seen the dang

855
00:55:34,039 –> 00:55:41,800
sun in over a month. So now there’s kickback. Now

856
00:55:41,840 –> 00:55:47,280
there’s pushback, and now that Republicans have taken back the House,

857
00:55:49,840 –> 00:55:52,400
at least we can put pressure on them to stop

858
00:55:52,559 –> 00:55:57,519
this moron from destroying what really brings people to Michigan,

859
00:55:57,639 –> 00:56:01,199
and that’s it’s not Detroit. It’s not it’s not those areas.

860
00:56:01,239 –> 00:56:06,000
The people don’t come here for those places. Although lately,

861
00:56:07,480 –> 00:56:10,920
I’ll admit coming to Detroit to see the Lions play

862
00:56:11,039 –> 00:56:14,400
has become a thing. God bless them, man. I hope

863
00:56:14,440 –> 00:56:16,280
they go all the way this year. They deserve it.

864
00:56:16,400 –> 00:56:18,119
I’m not gonna lie, but I’m not gonna get off track.

865
00:56:18,840 –> 00:56:22,400
People come here to go up into these woodlands, to

866
00:56:22,440 –> 00:56:26,760
go up into these wetlands, to hunt, to fish. That’s

867
00:56:26,840 –> 00:56:30,280
what Michigan is all about. Nobody sees Michigan outside of Michigan.

868
00:56:30,320 –> 00:56:33,159
Nobody really sees it like that. We have some of

869
00:56:33,159 –> 00:56:36,559
the best beaches. I will put our beaches on the

870
00:56:36,800 –> 00:56:39,840
west side of the state up against California beaches any

871
00:56:39,960 –> 00:56:43,199
day during the summer. There’s some of the most beautiful

872
00:56:43,239 –> 00:56:45,320
beaches you’ve ever been. And I’ve been to California beaches.

873
00:56:45,400 –> 00:56:48,360
I was like, okay, whatever, And they don’t have things

874
00:56:48,400 –> 00:56:51,199
in there that’ll bite your leg off. That’s the best part.

875
00:56:51,400 –> 00:56:54,440
And they’re fresh water, so you get actually, if you

876
00:56:54,480 –> 00:56:57,360
get some in your mouth, it’s like, it’s not so bad.

877
00:56:58,920 –> 00:57:01,119
And if that’s not the I’m gonna leave you with this.

878
00:57:03,519 –> 00:57:06,280
And this is just an indictment on the whole lancing

879
00:57:06,400 –> 00:57:08,679
thing because this is actually and I’m finding it. I

880
00:57:08,760 –> 00:57:10,840
did the research, and I’m gonna call strikes when i’m

881
00:57:10,880 –> 00:57:13,559
our balls and strikes when I can. This is actually

882
00:57:13,639 –> 00:57:17,079
a Republican plan that got put off for five years

883
00:57:17,360 –> 00:57:20,480
but could have been derailed, could have been taken off

884
00:57:20,519 –> 00:57:23,480
the books, but no, it was passed. And that was

885
00:57:23,559 –> 00:57:28,400
the cage free chicken law. I went to the East

886
00:57:28,400 –> 00:57:34,360
Store day and I happened to notice that there were

887
00:57:34,480 –> 00:57:39,079
absolutely no eggs to be had in that store, no

888
00:57:39,199 –> 00:57:42,960
fresh eggs. There were pretty packaged hard boiled eggs. There’s

889
00:57:42,960 –> 00:57:49,920
a few other things. Eggs are gone. This is the result,

890
00:57:50,079 –> 00:57:52,239
the direct result, and they’re trying to tell us it’s not.

891
00:57:53,119 –> 00:57:55,719
But ten days ago, there was no problems here. What

892
00:57:55,880 –> 00:57:58,199
happened was with the cage free chicken law, or it

893
00:57:58,320 –> 00:58:01,400
went into effect at the beginning of the year. Michigan

894
00:58:02,119 –> 00:58:07,480
egg manufacturers cannot have and raise chickens in cages anymore.

895
00:58:08,719 –> 00:58:12,880
This is supposed to be more humane if you and

896
00:58:13,199 –> 00:58:15,760
this is only the people who have three thousand chickens

897
00:58:15,800 –> 00:58:24,480
and more industrial chicken farming well as people do. A

898
00:58:24,559 –> 00:58:27,519
lot of the manufacturers did not comply, didn’t then, and

899
00:58:27,639 –> 00:58:32,719
Michigan won’t allow eggs in here without having cage free chickens.

900
00:58:35,719 –> 00:58:38,960
And a lot of people cannot supply places like Meyer,

901
00:58:40,000 –> 00:58:43,480
places like Walmart, places like Kroger, they can’t supply them

902
00:58:43,519 –> 00:58:49,440
because they are cage chickens. And because of that, now

903
00:58:49,559 –> 00:58:53,559
we have an egg shortage. Great job, and it’s not

904
00:58:53,840 –> 00:58:57,880
just Grets this time. It’s grets. It’s the Michigan Democrats,

905
00:58:58,119 –> 00:59:01,559
it’s the Michigan GOP who had five years to change this,

906
00:59:02,039 –> 00:59:04,840
five years to get these manufacturers ready, they did nothing,

907
00:59:04,920 –> 00:59:07,360
And now we don’t have aches. I do because I

908
00:59:07,480 –> 00:59:09,840
can just walk down the street and buy some and

909
00:59:09,880 –> 00:59:18,199
they’s still pretty reasonable priced. Government saving us from ourselves.

910
00:59:18,360 –> 00:59:21,320
God bless the government. I bet there was a whole

911
00:59:21,360 –> 00:59:25,519
bunch of policymakers, just like in this book the Ostrich paradox,

912
00:59:25,960 –> 00:59:30,519
saving us from ourselves, dely guiding people away from things

913
00:59:30,559 –> 00:59:33,239
that will harm them. So the government doesn’t have to

914
00:59:33,320 –> 00:59:36,880
spend so much money on the unwashed masses. We can

915
00:59:36,960 –> 00:59:39,559
send more money over to the third world countries who

916
00:59:39,599 –> 00:59:46,840
hate us and want to nuke us. And Rex not

917
00:59:47,000 –> 00:59:51,679
even kiddingman. My wife has something against chickens. I don’t

918
00:59:51,719 –> 00:59:53,960
know what, but maybe this is the straw that breaks

919
00:59:54,000 –> 00:59:56,360
the camels back. I’ve been wanting to get some. She

920
00:59:56,440 –> 00:59:58,920
has some problem with them, But I think this is

921
00:59:59,000 –> 01:00:02,599
going to help me fulfill my goals of being just

922
01:00:02,719 –> 01:00:04,519
a little bit more self sufficient. Now all I got

923
01:00:04,639 –> 01:00:07,280
to do is walk out back, like two hundred yards

924
01:00:07,320 –> 01:00:09,719
away from it. I could see the chicken coop from here,

925
01:00:10,039 –> 01:00:11,519
so if I really needed some, I can just go

926
01:00:11,639 –> 01:00:13,400
get some and just leave a note on the door

927
01:00:13,480 –> 01:00:15,440
with a couple of bucks for the people to down

928
01:00:15,480 –> 01:00:19,480
the road. They wouldn’t even mind because I take care

929
01:00:19,480 –> 01:00:23,800
of their house all the time, so I’m not too

930
01:00:24,719 –> 01:00:28,559
upset about this, and they do supply me. But that’s

931
01:00:28,559 –> 01:00:30,119
what’s going on in the state of Michigan, and it’s

932
01:00:30,159 –> 01:00:32,440
going to happen all over the place. And it’s because

933
01:00:32,480 –> 01:00:36,599
of people who, out of the what they think is

934
01:00:36,679 –> 01:00:42,039
the goodness of their heart, are guiding your policies. You

935
01:00:42,199 –> 01:00:44,880
don’t get to make these policies. And if you ever

936
01:00:45,000 –> 01:00:49,280
wonder why, out of the blue when a problem arises

937
01:00:49,320 –> 01:00:51,400
and out of the blue, like twenty four hours later,

938
01:00:52,440 –> 01:00:56,599
two thousand page policies gets slapped into Congress and voted

939
01:00:56,639 –> 01:01:01,079
in rushed through, we ever wonder why Gavin Newsom can

940
01:01:01,159 –> 01:01:03,239
sit there and say, well, we’ve already got a team

941
01:01:03,440 –> 01:01:06,880
reimagining LA two point zero, a team that’s been doing

942
01:01:07,039 –> 01:01:08,480
this and we’re ready to go. It’s like, what do

943
01:01:08,519 –> 01:01:10,920
you mean you’re ready to go? When did you get

944
01:01:11,000 –> 01:01:14,079
this team? And he tells you all the people he’s

945
01:01:14,119 –> 01:01:16,760
got dragged into this team. When he tells you something

946
01:01:16,800 –> 01:01:19,239
like this, no, in your heart of arts know, in

947
01:01:19,320 –> 01:01:22,000
your mind that there are people out there that live

948
01:01:22,440 –> 01:01:29,400
to gently guide you the way they want you to go. Friends,

949
01:01:29,519 –> 01:01:33,880
that’s not freedom. That’s not freedom of choice. That’s not

950
01:01:34,159 –> 01:01:42,360
freedom to be an individual. That’s authoritarianism. That’s totalitarianism. That’s

951
01:01:42,440 –> 01:01:48,000
being gently guided, which means bureaucracies, which means more government,

952
01:01:48,039 –> 01:01:52,920
which means more taxes, which means more policies, more procedures,

953
01:01:53,000 –> 01:01:56,320
more paperwork. Every time something like this happens and your

954
01:01:56,400 –> 01:01:58,639
house gets floated a mile and a half down a

955
01:01:58,760 –> 01:02:01,920
river and you get seven hundred and fifty dollars after

956
01:02:02,000 –> 01:02:05,320
applying eighteen times to try to get something to feed

957
01:02:05,400 –> 01:02:08,280
your wife in four kids, I want you to remember

958
01:02:08,320 –> 01:02:13,519
what we spoke about today. Now there is no off

959
01:02:13,559 –> 01:02:17,159
the rails. There might be. Rick’s probably sitting there getting

960
01:02:17,199 –> 01:02:20,679
fired up listening to this right now. So there’s no

961
01:02:20,719 –> 01:02:22,360
America off the rail tonight. That’s why I went a

962
01:02:22,400 –> 01:02:24,880
little bit over. Jeff did such a great job on

963
01:02:25,000 –> 01:02:27,920
The Lost Wander tonight. Man. He you know, for somebody

964
01:02:28,039 –> 01:02:33,599
that was really apprehensive about actually going live, he’s killing it.

965
01:02:33,960 –> 01:02:36,960
He’s gone way beyond me, that’s for sure. Man. I’m

966
01:02:36,960 –> 01:02:38,760
just looking at him, going, dude, you just kill it.

967
01:02:38,880 –> 01:02:44,039
Every week. Keep it locked our Klarn Radio all week long.

968
01:02:44,280 –> 01:02:46,880
We have some of the best programming every night you

969

could possibly get your hands on. Just bookmark Klarn Radio.

970
01:02:53,559 –> 01:02:55,880
Follow it along on Twitter because that’s where we’re doing

01:02:56,000 –> 01:02:58,760
most of our stuff now. We’re really not we’re really

972
01:02:58,760 –> 01:03:00,639
getting out of the spreaker thing. If we’re finding we

973
01:03:00,679 –> 01:03:03,119
get a lot more people listening, a lot more people

974
01:03:03,199 –> 01:03:09,199
tuning in on Twitter. And we appreciate eating every one

975
01:03:09,280 –> 01:03:14,480
of you. Lord Willing hopefully, and I’m counting on being

976
01:03:14,599 –> 01:03:20,199
back next week, same bat time, same bad place, and

977
01:03:20,320 –> 01:03:23,119
we’ll do the same thing more and more. We’re gonna

978
01:03:23,119 –> 01:03:24,800
have a lot of fun in twenty twenty five and

979
01:03:24,920 –> 01:03:27,599
I can’t wait. God bless we’ll talk again soon
