spelling j I M M y lak why the way
Mama told me to spell it, and you're gonna see
another podcast called The Critical Mission with Jimmy Lakey. The
Critical Mission is one that I'm doing it. It's the
two most important days of a person's life, the day

(02:06):
they're born, in the day they figure out why, and
I figured out my why. And it has nothing to
do with a little to do with his microphone right here.
I hate to break the news to you. It has
to do with building a school and taking care of
orphans and widows in Rwanda. All started after the adoption
of my son from the beautiful country of Rwanda. So
that's River's promise. And so I figured out my why
why am I doing this? God every day? What am I?

(02:29):
What's my purpose? What am I living for? And I
figured it out. And this week the interview I did
was a Jay Rattler for aviation and travel expert. But
his story is beyond day trading and aviation and travel,
all the things. Jay is relatively well known for in
the media circles as a contributed Fox News and iHeart,
et cetera. He's got a finite phenomenal story ten years

(02:51):
of actual You won't believe what he went through for
ten years. And he's go listen to it. Just the
Critical Mission podcast it dropped yes esterday and Jay Ratliff
was a fantastic interview as he came into my podcasting
studio via the technology of wizardry of phones and videos,

(03:11):
we connected together. He's in, he was in, he was
in Savannah at its home there. So anyway, go listen
to it, it' said the Critical Mission podcast. All right,
big time a week in the world of the politics, right,
you got the d n C. The d n C.
I don't know what to say about it. It's a
it's it's a it's a show, isn't it? It really is?

(03:31):
All right, let me welcome into the program though if
I may, and I may, because it is my program.
I want to welcome in. Eric Ruerk. He's a director
of research and public relations at the Numbers USA organization.
Very little mentioned about the border at the convention. All
about hope and joy and feel good and Tim waltsh

(03:55):
used to coach football. They're not talking a lot of policy.
But if you watch the commercials floating around it back
Kamala Harris, She's gonna really be tough on that border.
She's really gonna crack down her first day in office.
She's going to really get after it that Eric Ruwerk
Numbers USA on the hotline, Eric walking to the program.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Thank good, good morning, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Let's dive in here. Kamala Harris is now campaigning on
she's very tough on a border security as a candidate.
Even Bill Clinton last night said, man, she was really
tough in California on those drug cartels crossing the border.
Is there anything in Kamala's history that really says she's
tough on the border, you'd.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Really have to dig. There's one thing you could point
to that she could point to besides her effusive support
for sanctuary policies in California. They did her end Gaven
Newsom's governor because of public blowback because of a series
of killings of Californians by people who are in the

(04:57):
country legal who've been let out by the sanctuary policies.
Did a that they would report some violent criminals to
ICE so that ICE could come and get them and
put them in removal proceedings. But you had to basically
kill someone before they would notify ICE that you were
in their state illegally, because ICE would request that they
hold them in jails and they would release them and

(05:17):
then they would go on to comm out of their crimes.
So you could say that they did the bare minimum.
I wouldn't even say that, but there's something they could
point to. But you could point to a thousand other things,
including and this is what Kamala Harris did in the
Senate was she inserted language in dh As Appropriations bill
that prohibited ICE from enforcing immigration law against the sponsors

(05:39):
who were in the country legally. Sponsors of minor children
who came across the border. So I ah, you know,
DHS are turning them over to these sponsors. They if
ICE has evidence that these sponsors are that these children
have been trafficked, trafficked, or that they have been put
into child labor or even you know, sex trafficked. Kama
has prevented ICE from arresting those parents. That's how tough

(06:02):
she's been.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Wow, I know numbers. USA has given her an F,
not just an F, but an F minus. I don't
think there's anything lower than an F minus. I mean
usually in school, you just got an F as an
F and they didn't care if it's a minus or
a place. She got the F minus and that pretty
much says you were scraping the bottom of the septic
tank here, Harris, when it comes to border security. What
went into that F grade? F minus grade?

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well, that's the record in the Senate, and you're right,
we had to come up with a grade that shows
not just bad, but they're terrible. You can't you can't
get any worse than what she was on her voting record,
which means she opposed every enforcement bill while she was
in the Senate. She supported sanctuary policies as a Senator.
She now, she didn't vote for this, but she's certainly

(06:48):
in public statements supported the Abolished Ice movement. It did
fundraising events with groups who were abolish Ice organizations. So
she has any bill that was good on board security
she voted against uh and any bill that would have
opened the border she voted for. And we've seen that
play out in policy, and she was she's denying she's
the borders are, but you mentioned now she's trying to

(07:09):
claim that somehow without being the borders are, she was
really tough on illegal migration. And she points to a
Senate bill that didn't pass the Senate as proof that
one that President Trump or candidate Trump opposed rightfully after
it was clearly going to fail. But that bill would
have basically codified the open border policies at the Biden administration.

(07:31):
And that's why they don't want to be specific about anything.
And I went through Walls's speech that he gave last night.
There's no mention of immigration whatsoever. And so the only
the only specific thing they're saying is Kamin Harris has
been really tough and we're going to crack down on
what on the policies that you've implemented and supported for
four years. I don't think that's something that can sell,

(07:54):
but that seems to be the campaign strategy that they've
wetted themselves to. And if you know the board shut
down today, you still had almost four years of an
open border, and you know eight to ten million people
who have come in illegally across that border who are here,
and you know that's something that's gonna have to be
dealt with for a long time. And I personally have

(08:16):
no confidence that a Harris administration will do anything other
than push to give everyone amnes see. But they've also
had a plan, and this hasn't been reported. They want
to bring people who have been removed illegal immigrants, immigrants
who had already been removed and gone through the system
back into the country and give them citizenship.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Wow numbers usay. He's their director of research. His name
is Eric Ruwerk, And if you're not familiar with Numbers USA,
you should be because it's really kind of one of
those things that just the facts, man, just the numbers,
and they have the numbers for you. I want to
come back to that Senate bill because I've heard several
speeches this week say our border would be better if
the Republicans and Donald Trump had not killed a bill,

(08:54):
a bipartisan piece of legislation that was going to secure
a border. That's their excuse. Right now, we don't have
a border crisis because Kamala's really strict on the border.
But if we do have a border crisis a year,
I can't make this stuff up. We don't have one
because of Kamala. But if we did have one, it's
the Republicans fault because the Republicans killed the bill because
they were afraid of Donald Trump, the candidate. What was

(09:16):
that bill again? Explain why that was already going to
die with or without Donald Trump involved.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
So that was a deal cup between Schumer, McConnelly know,
the Senate leaders of their respective parties. And basically what
it would have done was, well, what it would have done, specifically,
was to allow five thousand border crossing illegal board acrossing
the day before a border emergency had to be declared
and then nothing else had to be done out and
say hey we've got a emergency here. It didn't require

(09:44):
ending illegal immigration, it didn't end un any of the
abuses that are going on under President Biden, and it
ignored the fact that the House had passed a really
tough enforcement bill, HR two, Secure the Border Act, and
so the Senate basically acted that the House was there
into the process, this is the best deal. We've got
to take it or leave it. And actually HR two
got more votes in the Senate than the Senate border

(10:06):
deal did, and many Republican senators obviously didn't vote for
the Senate border bill. And then President Trump came out
and said, you know, this is a terrible bill, after
it was clear that it was going to fail, so
he had took the right position in opposing it, but
it was already doom for failure because the House that
we're never going to take up this deal because it

(10:27):
doesn't have any of the provisions we voted on in
the House, so it was going to fail. When President
Trump came out and said I'm opposed to it, then
the talking point became the reason the border is the
way it is as big as Trump wants to says
a campaign issue. He wants an open border because it
helps him electorally, and that's what they've been thinking with
as their campaign on immigration is it's all Trump's fault.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I saw the nab the other day. I think it
was during the convention or sometime during the day, it
was asking for a border patrol or do you think
this could be a career for you. We're hiring now.
Is that because they are trying to get strict and
bring in extra border patrol agents or is it because
they have a shortage because people are leaving the border patrol.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
It it's because they've been hemorrhaging the border patrol agents.
And you can imagine if you take an oath to
defend the border and to protect American people and they
know the Bide administration has made you basically a facilitator
of illegal immigration, that's gonna wear on you. That's not
why what you signed up for. And we've seen lots
of agents leaving, but we've also seen a rise in suicide,

(11:33):
which is just tragic among border patrol agents. You can
remember when they accuse them of whipping the horse agents
on horseback, of whipping these people coming across the the river.
It was a total lie. But may Orc has never
apologized to these guys. They actually took them off of
active duty. And they do want more agents because they
need staffing, but what they want money and agents for

(11:54):
is to process illegal immigrants through the you know, across
the border more quickly, and they're not going to have
a lot of people going to sign up to that.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, yeah, I think the numbers you have are since
October of twenty twenty, more than four thousand federal agents
have left the border patrol. That's twice and twice as
many agents have chosen early retirement under Biden Harris compared
to the Obama and Trump administrations combined. And it's really

(12:24):
it's not a good situation at the border. Isn't it
interesting in election time that the media is sometimes complicit
of this thing about pretending that Kamala is gonna be tough,
and she will be tough. But when you watch the
media coverage, when you hear what's happening in the DNC,
how bad is it at the border? Is Trump telling
the truth? Is it as bad as Trump says? Or

(12:45):
is it as happy and pleasant and controlled as a
Democrats say? Where's the truth in it all?

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Well, it has gotten better, and there's several reasons for that.
One has to do with what Texas is done. You know,
they've put National Guard troops there and put barbar wire
up on the river on the border, and President Biden
did ask the President of Mexico to please help me, right,
and he did put measures in place in Mexico to
sort of stem the tide of illegal immigration that's been coming.

(13:14):
So it has been reduced. But the most effective thing
they've done to reduce it enough put that in quotes,
is they've just changed the way they've counted the numbers.
And so people who are coming in under parole, which
is in violation of the parole sorry the president has
you know, they have an app and they show up
at the port of entry, they're inadmissible, but they're not
counting them that way. They're counting them. They've said they've

(13:37):
created new lawful pathways, and so yes we have. We're
down last month to maybe one hundred and seventy four
thousand around there who came across illegally. Now that's way
down from about three hundred at the peak, but that's
still above the highest number we saw in the Trump administration.
But the Biden administration just says, well, we've declared them

(13:58):
to be not maybe not legal, but not illegal. We've
given them a status. So not counting them as illegal
border calls what they are, they're inadmissible aliens who are
entering the country illegally. The Bide administration is just cooking
the books in order to make that argument. I think
that they've tackled the problem.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
I think it's always that we run short of time
here in numbers us Scott Ruick is my guest, Eric,
I'm sorry. I think it's very important that we point
out that it's not just poor migrant workers that want
to go pick I don't know, pick beat somewhere that
are hanging out of the border. These are military age men.
And it used to be we had a lot of

(14:35):
Mexicans coming across the border. What about the nationalities. I
think it's kind of lost on a lot of people
about the nationalities. The number of Chinese that have come
across the border. And it's not just poor people from
again Mexico trying to come across for a farming job.
It's far from that. Give us the breakdown of who's
been crossing in nationality origins.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, it's very few are coming from Mexico now because
the Mexican economy has has improved greatly over the past
couple of decades. So what we're seeing now monthly are
more Chinese nationals coming then Mexicans, which is strange when
we think we're on the border with Mexico. Well, most
of the people MAJORI are from Central America. We do

(15:18):
Sincess South Americans. But when we look, I think there's
maybe one country and I should remember this that we
haven't seen someone come across. But we've seen lots of
people coming from the country of Georgia, uh Tomenistan. They
the border patrol is you know, DNFs is cracked down,
so we don't have a lot of Russians coming over.
That's one, you know country that they're preventing people from

(15:38):
coming in. But you know, China, Turkey, India, a lot
of Indian nationals coming from all over the world. Because
everyone around the world has gotten a message to show
up the border. Overwhelmingly you're gonna get in. And that's
that's why they keep coming. And it's not the poorest
of the poor. These are economic migrants who are seeking
a better life for themselves. But they're not the porest

(15:59):
of the poor. They can't afford to make this trip
and pay the smugglers. And now you know this is
a standard talking point, but it's absolutely true. Most people
coming over that board are economic migrants. But if you're
coming here because you're a terrorist, or you're in a
criminal gang, or you want to prey on the American people,
you're getting in through the same way. And we've seen

(16:20):
that the Bright administration has vetted these people, knows that
they're in a criminal gang or sees that they're in
a Tarot watch list, and the released them into the
country anyway, So it doesn't you know, given the numbers,
we're going to see quite a few members of criminal gangs.
We've seen it from venezuel people coming in from Venezuela.

(16:41):
So most people aren't coming to cause us harm, but
those who are getting in as well.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
And I think it's important that sometimes this becomes users
said talking points, and some people say, well, that's just
a talk show who saying. These numbers are all reported
in public by the government, by the Border Patrol. It's
not like we're making them up. These are no numbers
that are reported by the Border patrol.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Am I correct, Yes, all these numbers are reported by
by the Border Patrol. Now there is the Hazy area
where we have known godaways which have been observed either
they see them coming over, there's camera surveillance or there's
evidence that people across. They count those. That's probably pretty
close to the mark. But then there's the unknown godaways,

(17:23):
and so that's sometimes people like, well, we know they're
ten million or whatever it is. I think there's probably
a fewer unknown, yeah, because it's so easy to get in.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Eric Krewwerk, director of research for Numbers USA. Learn more
about it again. These are the numbers, my friends. Denial
is not just a river in Egypt. Don't live there.
Numbers USA dot com, NumbersUSA dot com, NumbersUSA dot com
Director of research, Eric Drewerk, thank you for coming on

(17:54):
the program. NumbersUSA dot com. That's your website. I'll be back.
Laky six hundred kcolor. I mentioned the Jared poll A

(18:37):
speech of the DNC. I didn't see it. I honestly
didn't this. It was earlier that I started watching. I
can only bear to watch so much of the news
and anytime. You know, I don't watch a lot of
cable news at all, and I make exceptions for these conventions.
I watched probably more of the RNC and the DNC
of the cable news networks, and I normally do all
the talking heads all back and forth. It just annoys me.

(18:58):
It doesn't matter which convention it is. Come back to
my point yesterday. I'm still surprised, and it's a money
making scheme for these networks that they even cover these
conventions because it's it's just a it's just a campaign rally.
And I don't think anybody's getting persuaded by this thing.
And I don't think anybody got persuaded per se by
the Republican Convention. I don't think anybody's getting persuaded by
I mean, it's an entertainment show. I mean, you got

(19:19):
what who was it? Sheena E? And I forget that
the artists out there? You had the Hawk and Oprah
win for you. Both both of them are celebrity shows.
And that's that's fine, that's wonderful. But again, if Fox
News or seeing MSNBC, we're not able to justify their

(19:41):
ROI with advertising sales. In other words, Hey, normally, ex client,
you're going to be paying one thousand dollars a minute
or something like that for this show, but hey, it's
what and give you a special love and you're gonna
pay three thousand dollars a minute to be featured as
this spotlight on on on the DNC or the rn C,

(20:02):
and people paying so they have a little they get
of an income boost. And they claimed that there do journalism,
but there's not a lot of journalism happening here. There's
not a lot of fact checking happening at these events.
And it's just I just don't watch them, only watch
them for the job. I would not really be tuned
in this week. I probably would have watched the RNC

(20:22):
only for the fact I wanted to hear Donald Trump speak.
There was a couple of days after an assassination attempting
that that was a good end, and I was honest.
I said he should have stopped there, dropped the mic
and walked off the stage and said he rambled on
for the next forty five minutes. I said that I
ain't afraid. I ain't scared of nothing. And anyway, a
lot of folks can't do that though. They think if
you criticize your own team, you must be in Troy.

(20:43):
Maybe now I'm I don't mind it all, don't mind
it all all right, Good to have you here on
the radio show. I did not hear the Jared Polis speech.
I should have maybe I listened to it, but I
didn't hear the other night. It was last night, two
nights ago, and I missed that. And again I just
kind of smiled that they talked freedom last night. I man,
I'm all for freedom. I like freedom. I'm very libertarian.

(21:05):
I really don't give a rats, but tuty what you do.
Work it out between your God and your country and
figured out. I mean, just the government screws up everything
when they get involved in it in the first place.
So and I believe that any decision that it's not
specifically allocated in the Constitution should go back to the states.
And so if they're states that want to be very liberal,

(21:27):
if you will on their abortion, loss more power with
there's more conservative states to say that's just not our person.
I think that's fair as well, because the Constitution, our
founding documents actually say anything outside of certain things that
are not declared should go back to the states. We're
fifty United States, but were indivisible for common good. But
states ought to be able to govern themselves and decisions

(21:49):
should be made as close as the local community as possible.
I don't want Washington, d c. Deciding what the Pewter
school district has to teach or doesn't teach. I want
the Pewter School District to make those curriculum decisions. And
even if I don't like the school board members, at
least they're close to home and you can access them,
as opposed to some jackwagon in Washington, d C. And
some congressional tower and then when you complain to them, they're, oh,

(22:11):
we don't know. It's somebody that tower of the Department
of Education, that high rise building, and we're not sure
even where the decision came from. You're like, at least
if it's made at the decision of let's say that
Pewter Schools or the Weld County schools or the Saint
Rain schools, at least then you know who to go
talk to. So that's me. I like freedom, and I
like freedom from Washington, and I like having as many

(22:32):
decisions as possible made at the local level, as localized
as possible. And I think that's very important. Now. Last night,
the parts that I did watch where they talked about freedom,
for some reason, they were only talking about abortion and
women's freedom. And that's a discussion you can have again
if you want freedom. I believe Colorado's got plenty of
freedom in that world. We are now a tourist destination

(22:55):
for women wanting to come here and have the abortion
what they call the women's healthcare there. We've got plenty
of freedom in that area. So there's no should be
no complaints from the women of Colorado. And if you're
in a state that differently you feel, complain to your state,
let it be made in the local decision. Let me
tell you, you're more a lot more likely to move

(23:15):
the hand of a local city council member or a
local governor or a local state rep. Than you are
to move the hand of some four hundred and thirty
five people in Washington, d C. That's harder. It's a
lot easier for you to lobby your twenty thirty forty
people in the state legislature and get the change that
you want than it is to do with Washington. So
as many decisions as back home as possible, I agree,

(23:38):
and I think that's wonderful if you're going to do
healthcare choice. So I do believe that there should be
a lot of healthcare choice in other areas, and we
did not see that same commitment in the days of COVID.
There were people that wanted forced vaccines. They wanted people
I've got I would guess. I don't know. I've never
done a poll, because it's I don't care. I would

(23:58):
guess just by observation. I think my friends were probably
seventy thirty sixty forty in getting the vaccine. Most of
them did. I got a lot of friends that didn't.
And I still haven't told you. What I did. Is
none of your business. But it should be a person's choice, right,
freedom of choice, my body, my choice. So it's interesting
to hear people lecture us about my body, my choice
in women's healthcare, and yet they were very willing to

(24:21):
condemn people that were making different choices than them when
it came to vaccinations. And by the way, a lot
of those conspiracy theories that people had about those vaccines
turned out to be right. A lot of the things
people were warning, hey, just be careful now if you
do see and I haven't seen any while those COVID
advertisements now they have that whole list of disclaimers. Not
recommended for this, not recommended this, this has been known

(24:44):
to cause random heart issues. I mean, it's all of
the advertisement now and people you were told to come.
This is and again, that's one beef that a lot
of folks have with Trump is that Trump was wanting
he was so interested in taking credit for that thing
that he was ad a whole be careful their buddy.
And now Pfizer and Maderna, they have all the disclaimers

(25:04):
of all the things that we got yelled at for
saying if you posted any of those warnings, boy, you
where you got. I was locked out of my Twitter
account for a long time. I couldn't get in. No explanation,
just locked out, and then once it worked, got back in.
I don't know how that works, but it's if you're
going to do my freedom, my choice, make sure and
talk about freedom. Make sure you talk about freedom all

(25:24):
the way around. For instance, back in the COVID days
in Minneapolis. In Minnesota, a disturbing video shows dozens of
riot cops enforcing Tim Walls's curfew spreading out in Minneapolis neighborhood,
peppering residents with paintball. This is from the New York
Papers while they stood on their porches and in their
front doorways getting fresh air. The newly resurfaced clip filmed

(25:48):
May thirtieth, twenty twenty by Tanya Cerson. Just Outside her
Home resembles a scene from a dystopian movie. It shows
a tan humbye rolling slowly down a quiet street in
the Wittier neighborhood, followed by at least twenty five heavily
armored cops. Did a bit, and he goes go home,
Go inside, get inside, let's go. The woman kept filming,

(26:10):
at which pointed officer can be heard saying, light them up,
and suddenly offers fire. Officers fire paintballs at the women
and her guest. The gun's muscle flash clearly visible as
that fading in the light of dusk in get in.
The residents shadow to her friends and family as they
made a mad dash to the out of line of fire.
The muffled course of shouting police voices continued through the

(26:30):
hastily slammed front door. And it's all out there. It's
on the internet. So is that freedom? Is that freedom?
Is that freedom that you were told to call your neighbor.
We didn't do this in Colorado. This was not, at
least statewide. This was not a governor Polus edict. As
much criticism as you can give to Polus so we
were one of the least restricted Blue states. He did

(26:53):
let us out of out of lockdown a little bit
earlier than other people did, but that's because we got
the All Star Game. You recall the All Star Game,
and everything went away just boom, just like that. Homelessness
went away too when we call the All Star Game.
But anyway, it was just very rich that they had
wats up their total of freedom. He had the hotline
set up making a call. So but it was touching.

(27:13):
I give fair credit. It was very touching watching Waltz's
son late twenties, every late late teens, every twenties, very touching.
He's very proud of his dad. That was a really
cool moment last night. I thought, as the father of
a son myself. Anyway, good to have you here on
the radio show. Jimmy Linky is my name, pleasured, pleased,
and I'm thrilled to be here. If you've got comments,

(27:35):
I feel free to jump in. We'll go through some
other news that's out there, including I want to come
back to this ordinance it was passed by the City
Council of Fort Collins about banning the sales of pets.
I don't know enough about the story. I don't have
an opinion for it or again it. I just always
find it interesting when a city council or a school

(27:55):
board makes headlines. Sometimes you're like, Oh, they're there, that's
what they've been doing. I guess I'll be back News
Talk six hundred K. Col all right, glad to have

(28:35):
you here. You know, I wouldn't recommend somebody that I
either don't use or haven't use, or would use if
I needed them. If they're advertising on this program. My friends,
they have the Laky Seal of approval, and I'm telling
you that's a big deal. Corey Clinton and when Hour
Heating and air Conditioning they've got it. I'm telling you
it's They're great people and this is who I do.

(28:57):
Actually literally use them at the House of Laky. As
soon as I got to know Corey and the team
into One Hour Heating and air Conditioning, they came out
and serviced my HVAC system. You did some seazel maintenance,
and they said, hey, this is not going to go
on forever, and I kind of kind of laughed. They
kind of mcguivered it together. They said, we'll make it
last as long as possible. And then about about the
second third time out for a seasonal maintenance. They said,

(29:17):
this is this is not good. This is it's not good.
This has frozen up too much. It's dripped on this
and it's and they broke the news to you. Bring
out the sad music, the bagpipes. They broke the news
to me that it was dead. The HVAC systems were
dead and it was time to replace them. This is
almost a decade ago, seven eight years ago. And I said, okay,

(29:39):
what do we do? And they bottom line is I
had them replace the HVAC systems at my home and
I don't regret that. My friends said, they are just
fantastic people. One hour heating and air conditioning. I recommend them,
But first of all, I recommend getting the maintenance check. Yet,
the maintenance check at start of every season. Even now,
if you're not running right and you haven't had it
looked at in a while, and you're still kind of
hot in the evenings and it's doesn't seem to be cooling,

(30:02):
at least find out what the status does. Have a
maintenance checkdown. They can get that done for you. I
call it a tune up, and then maybe you kind
of know that asay, Okay, it's going to probably last
the rest of the summer, but you're gonna get close.
You can start kind of thinking ahead that, hey, you're
getting towards the end of the lifetime again. One hour
Heating and air condition. I think you'll find their customer
service and there is going to be top notch, seamless.
They really do want to take care of you. Just

(30:23):
the technicians that come out are top notch as well.
This is again, this is who I trust in my home.
The bright yellow bands pull up and you know you're
in good hands. Listen for all of your h VAC needs,
heating and cooling. We're going to in a couple of months,
we're going to get to that place of you're going
to see, well, I got to turn the furnace on, Mabel.
Make sure you have that maintenance check down. Make sure
everything's firing the best of its ability. It's all cleaned,

(30:44):
ready to go. It's one hour Heat and Air dot Com.
One hour Heat and Air dot Com slash Jimmy Lakey.
One hour Heat at Air dot com slash Jimmy Laking
And you tell them that Jimmy Lakey told you to
be in touch. One hour heating and air conditioning. Corey
Clinton and the crew wonderful people also big title sponsors
of my charity golf event and had an event over
my house thanking them the other night, and I got

(31:05):
to meet see well, I meet him. I met him
before Corey Melissa Clinton, Corey Clinton and the crew when
I were heated there dot com slash Meila he eight
five five one hour. All right, I told you the
story about the freedom of It's just amazing. If you're
going to talk freedom and you're going to brag to
be the party of freedom, that men be the party
of freedom, be the party of freedom. But there was

(31:28):
a lot of non freedom going on about three four
years ago, wasn't there, and it was being perpetrated, and
people like Ron de Santis in Florida, where for the
freedom he said the people should have in his state,
he was called all sorts of names, Neanderthal, caveman like tendencies,
grandma killer, everything, because you just wanted personal freedom and

(31:49):
people to have freedom in their healthcare choices. So it
is kind of very interesting that the new Party of
Freedom and see declaring freedom, We're the party of freedom.
They're the party. And now I'm like, well, okay, you
interpreted any way you want, but I want to interpret
not just one issue. I want to interpret the broader

(32:12):
issues at hand. Freedom, freedom to have an opinion, freedom
to be able to communicate your ideas. Not just because
I have a different opinion than you, doesn't need I
need to be silenced. Does it mean I'm a threat
to democracy? It means I have a different opinion than you,
So what You're gonna have a different opinion than me.
I don't need to shut down Twitter just because there's

(32:32):
opinions there that I disagree with. Let all sides be
heard and then people can make a right decision. Well
that's that's that's freedom. That's that's freedom. I'll be back
in a second. Second half of the program is forthcoming.
