Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is time now for our last break of the day.
We got to say Happy Veterans Day too to all
our veterans out there.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yes, yeah, yeah, our very own Dave Hines Jelitary working
here on the show, my husband, Yes, thank you, everybody.
Happy everyone.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yes, you know, my closing remounk kind of leads me
to that too, because I just saw. I'm a little
curious right now as to how our country is handling everything.
You know, I think we finally got it right with
honoring our veterans, showing them more respect, But I don't
me personally, I don't think we do enough. There's too

(00:45):
many veterans that come home and wind up homeless, who
come home with mental issues from suffering from our battle
and a post post traumatic syndrome, and it's just a
out of that. And we're not doing enough to take
care of the men and women who go and sacrifice

(01:08):
they families, they lives, they limbs for this country so
that we can sit here and do the very thing
that we do, which is what we want to do.
It's called freedom. But the people who pay the price
for our ultimate freedom, even with their lives, their health,
their welfare, the loss of their families that we don't

(01:28):
treat them good enough. We just don't. That should not
be a homeless veteran. There should not be an unemployed veteran.
That should not be a veteran without benefits. That just
shouldn't be, man, And I don't understand it. And in
this new administration, even those programs that are lacking are

(01:52):
being cut again. VA hospitals are suffering, VA benefits are suffering.
Is anybody not paying attention to what's going on here?
I don't know, man, I don't know where this country's headed,
but it's going in the wrong direction. Man, And I

(02:14):
wish people would wake up and look at it and
just admit to it. But see, we got this thing
called politics. Now. I'm just ranting and raving right now, y'all.
I ain't got no order to this. I'm just giving
you these random thoughts as they pop in my head.
I'm just gonna be honest with you. We got this
thing called politics, right, and we have the Republicans, that
we have the Democrats. And when both those people put

(02:36):
together put forth people that you don't really care for,
then you're forced to choose the lesser of the two evils.
But what happens when you choose what you think is
the lesser of the two evils and it turns out
to be more evil. What do you do? Then? Do
you do what I watch us doing, because we're just

(02:58):
succumbing to this. We just going along with that. I've
never been lied to so many times and watched so
many people believe the lie. Y'all. Come on, man, what's
happening here? That should be no debate. Do you know

(03:21):
that even in a government shut down that the president
still has the power to extend Snap benefits. I learned
that I was watching a couple of political shows the
other day. So even in a government shutdown, you can
extend the Snap program. Snap program is real simple. We

(03:41):
just making sure everybody eat. You know. Here's the other thing.
Here's the thing about Snap program that people don't understand.
Who ain't on Snap, they send up in here criticizing.
There was a young there was a mother that got
criticized because she bought some cupcakes with her Snap benefits
for her child's birthday party. They sent the country into
an uproar because they were mad because this woman buying

(04:05):
cupcakes with her Snap card. Wait a minute, she was
buying cupcakes for her child's birthday. It's still food. She
didn't buy a race car for the baby. She bought
some cupcakes so that her baby could have just a

(04:25):
joyous moment. Once a year, man, I watched this guy
online talk about how dare her go buy cupcakes? She
could have bought the mix and the batter and made
the cupcakes. Well, somebody did. Somebody put up the cost
of the batter and the cupcake mix and everything, and

(04:46):
the trays and the pans and all that, and it
would have cost more for her to make the pancakes
than the ones that she bought. But you know what,
people who ain't ever been without, they don't know what
that's like, so they find something wrong with everything. We
have so much stuff we can complain about where our

(05:07):
tax dollars is going to instead of going to feed
somebody who needs to be fed. And it's not like
they're getting a bunch of money. I forgot what the
exact number is. It's only like four hundred dollars per household,
eleven hundred, I don't know whatever it is. How much
is it per household? It's it's a really minimum go ahead.

(05:29):
It depends, Yeah, but let me tell you what it is.
It's the minimum to get by.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (05:39):
It is not excess. It is not clothing money. It
ain't shopping money, it ain't moving money, it ain't ball
of money, it ain't card note money.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's for food, nothing extra.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
And we get to sit up here and watch people
who have never been hungry tell people who are hungry
how to behave well, how to hell? You know, and
you ain't ever been hungry? But where is your compassion
for people who just might not have it together? I'm
just ranting and raving today, man, because I just those
are my closing remarks, and they wasn't in no order,

(06:20):
but that's how I feel. And we need to get
it together, man, And y'all need to quit believe in
everything somebody tell you, and you need to start questioning
the truth because the truth ain't being told to us
hardly on you. No doubt that those are my closing launch.
If I was you, I'd talked to God today because
he the only one tells the truth all the time.
