Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
All right, good morning everybody. I hope everybody's having a
great weekend. Way through September. Here, man's flying, flying, flying.
Pretty soon it will be time change time, and it
will depress me. I meant to say this at the
last week's show, and I I apologize because I had
(00:56):
lots of things going on, but I mean the sincerely,
my heart goes out to all of those parents and
the the students and the people that were affected by
the shooting in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago. And
(01:16):
it is I don't know what the answer is. I
talked last week about President Trump signing an executive order
to bring back the opportunity to have institutions that will
put people with mental illnesses in a way so they're
not a danger to people. But what I can tell
you is the moronic responses by people on the left
(01:41):
when I don't know if you saw it, but like Jensaki,
who was the press secretary for Biden with red hair,
said something every trade Vance had tweeted out something about
my prayers.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
And my thoughts go out for the people, and she's.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Like, prayers are not enough. There's we don't have we
don't need prayers anymore, or prayers don't stop school shooting,
blah blah blah, and Jade Vance is like, we pray
because we want to. We want the comfort from God
in times of need and in times of sorrow. But
I don't know if these people just truly believe, if
(02:17):
they've been so convinced in their idiocy that they truly
believe the stuff they're spewing, or what. But guns don't
kill people. People kill people. The weapon is just something
they choose. And Jacob Fry, who is the mayor of Minneapolis,
(02:37):
came out and said something about assault weapons, that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
God didn't have an assault weapon.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
These people either are gun illiterate, or choose to ignore
the facts, or just don't care. I don't know what
it is, but guns don't cause the violence. I own
three or four of them. They've never shot a single person,
not one. But when you have when you have people
(03:03):
who have mental illnesses, it's the same thing that happened
at the Covenant School, you know, I have we have
a number of customers who are trans, older trans that
buy vehicles from us, and my suspicion is most of
them are like my customers that they just want to
(03:26):
be left alone live their life, and like Caitlyn Jenner,
just want to be left alone, live their their authentic
life and not be messed with. But the people on
the left are weaponizing, weaponizing people in the trans community
and getting them riled up and making it. If you
look at what that that person did and the manifesto
(03:51):
that they released, it was full of left wing talking points,
none of which are true. It was absolutely amazing to
me how much these people can be brainwashed. And at
one point I think that he even said and I
say he because at one point in the manifesto, if
(04:12):
I if I'm correct, I think they even said something
about they were tired of fooling themselves and were tired
of being trans.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
These people, some of them.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Have decided that violence is the only way.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
To release their energy.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
And he would have done it with a gun. He
would have done it with knives, he would have done
it with a bomb. He would have found a way.
But I'm tired of people saying thoughts and prayers aren't enough.
We need gun control laws.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They know I've talked about this before.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Seventy I think it's seventy or seventy five percent of
mass shootings. I think it may actually I'm sorry, I
think it's ninety percent. Ninety percent of mass shootings are
done in gun free zones. They know I talked about
this when the Covenant shooting happened. If there's nobody that
they know, nobody in that particular building is armed because
(05:06):
they're gun free zones, and law abiding citizens are going
to abide by the gun free zone laws, then they
have free reign until somebody with a gun shows up
to neutralize them. It's just common sense. If you know
that nobody there's no opposition to you shooting. It's sort
of like when they went in in October seventh. When
(05:28):
Hamas went into Israel, they knew most of the Israel
had taken guns away from all of their people. The
Israeli population doesn't have guns. They knew when they went
in there there was nobody going to be able to
fight back. I don't know how why this is so hard.
If the good law abiding citizens, if you know there's
(05:51):
people in there, If you went to a movie theater
and you were a crazy man that wanted to shoot
up a movie theater, but you knew there may be
at least ten or fifteen other people that were packing
in that movie theater, you'll pick a different movie theater.
But if every movie theater is like that, you just
don't pick a movie theater. We need common sense laws.
(06:12):
I agree with that, and common sense says that we
need to have people who are are the opposition and not.
Gun free zones don't work idiots, they never have. The
criminals are still If you're willing to go murder five people,
I'm pretty sure you're willing to ignore a sign that
says gun free zone.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
How is this?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I don't understand how this is so hard for these
people to understand.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I don't know. If it's brainwashed, I don't know. If
it's I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I can't. I cannot, for the life of me wrap
my mind around that thought process. Bad people are going
to do bad things. Unless there is a deterrent that
is readily available quickly, you can stop them. They're going
to do whatever it is they want to do. Laws
(07:05):
be damned. They're moving on. It is amazing to me.
But I truly we do have to find a way.
I am with the left on this. We have to
find a way to stop these school shootings. We have
to find something. But gun free zones aren't it. That's
not going to do the trick.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
It's frustrating to me.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
But hey, Trump's also asking for the vaccination. The drug
companies come out and tell us the truth about the vaccinations.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Finally, so there's that. I'll talk about that after the break.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
All right, This is Baonos Cars brought you by Chevrolet
Buick GMC of Murphysboro, Exit seventy six, Interstate twenty four,
Big Car Tower, come see us.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Here's your host, Bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
All right, welcome back everybody. So I've always asked asked
this question, and I really don't. It hasn't got It's
only gotten like this over the last ten or fifteen years.
But I've asked myself the question just left his drive
(09:00):
a person crazy, right, And I think the answer is yes,
but in various ways. So there was a let me
just kind of read it to you because it was wild.
(09:20):
We know about gender just war you, right, And that's
been kind of a fancy but fading fad, right, and
it's kind of starting to go away, and some of
that has to do with the violence that's been perpetrated.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
But there was an.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Article in the Daily Septic. A lady named Mary Galise
had some details and it just says, in the past
couple of terms, visiting schools and further education colleges, I've
noticed an increasing number of teenage girls using walking sticks.
It's not unusual to see disabled children in mainstream schools,
generally one or two wheelchairs. Also handful of students with
temporary breaks on crutches or wearing a plastic boot. But
(10:04):
it's a new site for me, at least to see
teenage girls using walking sticks, especially two girls in one
group with walking sticks decorated with stickers. When three separate
girls over the past month told me that they have
been have suspected or finally diagnosed POTS POTS, I remember
the old adage two's a coincidence, three's a trend. I've
learned that POTS, as well as being a lively TikTok
(10:26):
and insta hashtags, is short for postural tacardia syndrome and
involved feeling dizzy when standing up, hence the need for
walking sticks. There is no cure, and according to the NHS,
POTS affects everyone differently with severe symptoms such as lightheadedness
or weakness.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Or extreme tiredness.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Hashtag did you Yawn as a popular hashtag for the
growing community of POTS sufferers. So now we have another
social contagion, right, so it goes on and says not
a real name. A seventeen year old recently diagnosed POT
sufferer was able to explain things for me. I've always
(11:05):
been been very tired and feel funny every time I
stand up. I printed out the post description for my
GP who sent me to a consultant. I had to
lie on a wobbly table and then get up. I said,
I felt dizzy. So I got my diagnosis, which is great.
Her plan is to do a three month nail technician
course at the local college in September, but she now
adds sadly, now I have pots, I don't know if
I'm going to be able to manage the bus journey.
(11:26):
It's eighty minutes each way. She's been advised to stay
hydrated and to make sure she takes in sufficient salt,
but she's returning to her GP to find out if
there are any pharmaceutical options. She already receives PIP payments
for her anxiety and wonders what her new diagnosis will
mean when she has her benefits review next month. When
young girls all are starting to have the same illness,
(11:52):
that is a fad. It's people trying to have an
illness just to have an illness, and it's cool to
be sick, like it was cool when I was in school.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It was cool if you broke your arm or broke
your leg.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I broke my ankle was a couple of times playing ball,
and broke my arm one time playing ball, But if.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You had a cast, it was cool. Everybody could sign
it and it got noticed because it was different.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But this need to constantly have some sort of ailment
or malady is odd to me, and it seems to
affect the people on the left more often. So there's
another article that I was reading that was talking about
this social contagion, but also how the data is very clear,
(12:43):
and it talks about how the left is crazy because.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It wants to be.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
So people, especially white people on the left. White women
on the left, have been told for years and years
and years, males two but as much affected that they
have white privilege and that it is real and inherent
and everybody on that this white is inherently racist and
(13:11):
blah blah.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And so they've taken it to extremes and taken it
to heart instead of knowing their own heart and knowing
their own mind and the way they feel, they decided that, yes,
I have white privilege, but I also have multiple personal
multiple personality disorder, crippling anxiety and Tourette's.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I'm such a victim.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And by the way, there's some Pew data that showed
the voluntary adoption of the issues is primarily happening on
the left, reinforcing the fact. By the way, this is
based in ideology, not actual medical diagnosis. So I talked
(13:53):
a couple of weeks ago about outer locus and innerlocus,
where outer locusts you believe there are things outside of
your control that are are happening to you and causing
your life to be this way, and you're a victim
of society and a victim of all the things around you.
And the innerlocust, which is I control my own destiny,
I control my own thoughts, I control my own behaviors,
(14:15):
I control my.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Life.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And it is a direct contrast between people and the
right and people on the left. But it also determines happiness.
It determines those young girls using those walking sticks are
doing so for sympathy, and they're doing it because now
some of them may actually have POTS. I don't even
know what pots is. Maybe it's possible, but it can't
(14:40):
be that all of a sudden, ten percent of the
population of young females has this pots. It's just it
didn't happen for you generations, and now all of a sudden,
one of them gets it, and ten percent of the
people have to have it. It's absolutely astounding to me.
(15:03):
So last year, the American Psychological Association published a Stress
in America in twenty twenty four. It was called Stress
in America in twenty twenty four, a nation in political turmoil,
and I think it can be seen as a guide
(15:24):
to what's about to come right at the time. More
than seven into this is from the report. More than
seven and ten adults reported the future of our nation
as a significant source of stress in their lives, making
it the most common source of significant stress in this
year's survey. The economy was the second most common, with
seventy three percent of adults having reported it as a
significant source of stress. By the way, why is the
(15:46):
economy a significant source of stress for anybody? The economy
doesn't it affects my life in that people have I
need people to buy cars and get But the reality
is most people, the economy is not going to impact
your life. It's the economy, not your life. Your situation
(16:06):
is under your control.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Anyways.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The economy of the second most was seventy three percent reporting
at twenty twenty four. US presidential election followed closely at
sixty nine percent, though the finding was similar to the
previous election at sixty eight percent. Twenty twenty itself was
marked was a marked shift from twenty sixteen, when only
fifty two percent reported stress as a result of our
political process. In addition, more than seven in ten adults
(16:33):
were worried about violence, and more than half, whopping fifty
six percent, believe the election could be the end of
democracy in the US. Perhaps even more incredibly and disturbingly,
around two in five adults reported the state of the
nation has made them consider moving to a different country,
and the political environment in their state has made them
(16:55):
consider moving to a different state. In addition, two thirds
of adults felt in sixty four percent felt as though
their rights are under attack, while around a third of
adults reported the political climate has caused strain between them
and their family members, and thirty percent limit their time
with their family members because of that stress and don't
think they share the same values.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Now, think about that.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
How First of all, who is it that continually yells
out that it's a threat to democracy a threat to democracy?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
First of all, we don't live in a democracy.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We live in democratic republic and a representative republic. But
why do you think that all of these other things.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
You got to quit saying this.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You got to quit using this rhetoric that it's the
end of democracy. Donald Trump is going to leave peacefully
after he leaves office, just like he did the last time.
He is acting in no way, shape or form like
a dictator. I said this right after he got elected
back in November. Put a list of all the things
you think are going to happen together, and then in
(17:59):
eight months or a year, when none of them have happened,
maybe you come back to reality and say, I've been
fed aling a crap from the entire mainstream media. Who's
lying to me. I've been fed a load of crap
from all the people on the left that are in
the in Congress, and maybe they're lying to me. You've
got to be able to use your own brain. You've
(18:19):
got to be able to think for yourself and handle
it for yourself. I'm telling you that none of this
stuff truly affects your day to day life. Your family
affects your day to day life. Being a good father,
being a good husband, being a good mother, being a
good wife, being a good child, being a good brother.
All of those things affect your life. Being a good
employee doing the right thing. The rest of this is
(18:43):
noise from politicians who are trying to keep us divided.
Don't let them be happy.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Be happy you live in the greatest country on Earth.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
All right, let's Bono's Cars brought you by Chevrolet Buet
GMC of Murphysborough.

Come on back to the break.

decided to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
All right, Welcome back everybody.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So, about a month ago I was gonna talk about this,
and I just have been talking about lots of other stuff,
but I'm gonna bring it up now. So about a
month ago was the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima,
Roshima and Nagasaki. And back when the anniversary was happening,
(20:08):
I read numbers of articles and was trying to understand
what happened and why because there are a lot of
people now that are, like, you know, nuclear what we
did was so wrong, it was so immoral, so many
people died. But I think that's a very myopic, narrow
version of what actually Truman had to go through. And
if you've watched the movie Oppenheimer, or there was one
(20:31):
before that that had Paul Newman in it called Fat
Man and little Boy, and fat Man and little Boy
was basically the same type of movie as Oppenheimer, except
Oppenheimer was probably a little bit better. But fat Man
and little Boy were the names of the two bombs
that were dropped. And there was some I mean, this
(20:54):
is nineteen forty two, forty three, and forty four. The
technology that they were trying to come up with, and
obviously it was incredibly secret.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
They had it spread out over three different sites.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Nobody knew what they were really working on. The fear
at the time was if anybody, if the scientists knew
what they were truly trying to work on, and why
that they would not work on it because of the
moral implications. And I don't envy President Truman for having
to make the decision that he had to make, but
you have to be able to put yourself in the
(21:26):
position of what was actually happening in nineteen forty five
to truly understand how that decision was made in Imperial
Japan at the time. These are the same people who
had kamikaze pilots that.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Were okay with.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Flying their plane into the side of a ship and
losing their life just to prove a point. And they
were unwilling to ever surrender.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So at the time.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
They conventional warfare back in the day that would have
kept going had he not plan, had he not dropped
the bombs and made the decision to drop the bombs
is a horrible reality. Horrible it goes on and talks about.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
So I made some notes here.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
They that both sides at the time there were plans
that they had that in the range of results, by
the way, all of which would unleash massive horrors on
huge scales. So Truman, General George Marshall and the rest
of the US Command structure had had just gone through
(22:39):
the insane blood baths of Saipan, Iwo, Jima, Okinawa, and
they were insane blood baths, Lots and lots and lots
of people died, and they had plans and said that
a direct, a direct invasion, because there were plans for
US to invade Japan. That was the only way we
were gonna be able to get them stop. A direct
(23:03):
invasion would have produced a nightmare that would destroy lives
on even bigger scales than what happened, especially Japanese civilians,
but that they were going to turn Japanese civilians into combatants.
They did that later in some of the battles in
the in the island battles of.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
The Pacific Theater or in the later island battles.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
In the Pacific Theater. They turned civilians into combatants. And
so there were US estimates at the time saying that
there were how many casualties that were going to be
The US estimates at the time were five million casualties
before Japan could be pacified into two different campaigns, and
most of those were going to be civilians. It was
(23:48):
going to be at least a million of those would
have been American deaths. And Truman had already started at
the time to begun accelerating drafts to gain another one
hundred thousand men a month in nineteen forty five in
anticipation of, hey, we don't know if we're gonna get
this bomb ready or not. We don't know if it's
(24:08):
going to work or not. We don't know what the
end outcome is going to be. So they were ramping
up another one hundred thousand young men a month to
go fight against Japan.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
So while they knew that.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
The ward had picked up dramatically in nineteen forty four,
they knew that Truman knew.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
That a.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Trying to have a ground con quest of Japan may
not be politically sustainable.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I mean, you got to remember how many people, that's
a million Americans that were going to die, and we'd
already lost a bunch, so he made a decision to
drop a bomb to try to stop the killing. Yes,
a lot of people died, Yes, a lot of people suffered, absolutely,
But the amount of people that were going to suffer
(25:01):
and the amount of people that were going to die
if they hadn't done it, were far exceeded the number
of people that died because we did it. And I
think that it's very easy to constantly judge the future,
I mean the past with what we know in the future. Right,
So hindsight's twenty twenty. But even in hindsight, if you
(25:26):
truly study what actually happened. You know that he made
the right decision. He did what needed to be done
to stop the war, just like Donald Trump made the
decision that no other president was willing to make to
stop Iran before it got to the point where they
had the opportunity to kill millions of Westerners. And that's
(25:48):
exactly what they were trying to do, or at least
kill all of the people in Israel. That's what they
were trying to do. That was their ultimate goal, and
somebody had to stop them. And you can complain, you can,
you can say whatever you want, but the end result
is those are the decisions that strong leaders have to
make and what is the alternative.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I'm going to do this. If I do this, what's
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Now, speaking of strong leaders, we've got some who are
absolutely weaker than Circus Lemonade. So China, I've talked about
this before. China is doing everything they can to undermine
the United States of America. Now, part of the problem
(26:35):
is China's economy is built on hours. And I didn't
know this until I started doing some research the other day,
but it turns out that China has a lot more debt.
We've got thirty seven trillion dollars in debt, but that's
one hundred and twenty five percent of our GDP right now.
The there was a report that came out that said
that government sector debt including local government financing, vehicles and
(27:00):
associated funds, stood at one hundred and twenty four percent
of GDP in twenty twenty four, while China's total debt
was measured at three hundred and twelve percent of GDP.
So we're at one hundred and twenty five percent of GDP,
they're at three hundred and twelve percent of GDP. Part
of the problem is most of the companies, most of
the factories over there, apparently they have warehouses full of
(27:21):
merchandise because they're built on making stuff, and they make
way more stuff than they consume. And so we are
the consumers of most of the world's goods. We have
a consumer driven society. They have a manufacturing driven society.
If you're not spending the money and keeping the money flowing,
you don't grow. You don't grow, and so in an
(27:45):
effort to keep things going and make it look good,
I mean, let's face it, back in two thousand and eight,
when they had the twenty or the Yeah, the two
thousand and eight Olympics, China looked like a juggernaut. They
look like, oh my god, look at what they've done.
And they they are they have the ability, but they
are drowning in debt right now, and so they're doing
(28:06):
everything they can to try to undermine the United States.
One of the things they're doing is buying land by
naval I mean military installations around the country.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Katie Hobbes, who is the.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Governor of Arizona, Vetota bill recently that would have stopped
any Chinese entity or Chinese owned entity from buying land
near a military installation. Doug Bergham, who is now in
the Trump administration but was the governor of North Dakota,
(28:42):
signed a bill saying that you couldn't buy land around
a military installation in North Dakota. That's the difference between
those two leaders. One's appeasing China, who is our direct competition,
and I don't care what you say. They are in
an adversary. They are doing what they can to destroy
the United States. They flew balloon from across the entire
United States while the Biden administration knew it was there.
(29:05):
And didn't do anything but wait until it got all
the information that needed to shoot it down over the
Atlantic Ocean off of South Carolina, and then didn't bother
to tell anybody in the United States about the actual
information and what they knew about it for weeks. That
goes back to what I talked about last week in
the where the Biden and Biden and his son were
(29:27):
both in bed with the Chinese. We've got to We've
got to find a way to stop China now because
if we don't, if we allow them to continue to
take our military secrets, we.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Allow them to.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Get by land around military installations, we allow them to
buy our They owned Smithfield Farm, so they control a
large portion of our pork industry.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
We've got to do something.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
And I think that Trump is the only one who's
willing to truly stand up to the because he's one
of the few that doesn't have they don't have anything
on They can't do anything to him because they have.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
They have no dirt on him.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
He hasn't been compromised like most of the politicians right
in left in Congress. By the way, they're doing a
bunch of Arctic research, and China is and it's not
it's reconnaissance. And there has been increased Chinese research vessel
(30:29):
activity in the US Arctic recently, and if we don't
stop them, there is no telling what's going to happen.
But and it could be ten years, it could be
twenty years, it could be next year.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I don't know. But they're doing something that is nefarious.
Count on it. And we have the economic power to
stop him right now, but we got to use it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
All right.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
This is Bonos Cars brought you by Chevrolet Buick GMC

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
All right, welcome back everybody. So when I was in school,
we had at a principal his name with mister Ferguson.
Mister Ferguson was a fairly large fella.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
He was Uh, I don't know, six two six three.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Look, I was a kid in school, so maybe he
was five ten, but at the time he looked like
he was six two six three, weighed probably two twenty
five two thirty and uh. He had this paddle that
he kept that was about a.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
I don't know. We made it in shop class. Whatever
happened to shop class.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
By the way, man, that should be back.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
We should be teaching kids' skills with their hands and stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
So we made it in shop class and we had
to shellack it and make it nice, and we had
it emblazoned with uh.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
I think it said.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
The Punisher was the name of it. And if if
you were unlucky enough to get sent to the principal's office,
he had the right to give you three wax with
the paddle. Now, I know some people think that that
(33:01):
is cruel and unusual punishment, and their parents out there
in today, and probably my daughters are probably like this,
like I don't want anybody else disciplining my child, and
that's not for you to do, that's for.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Me to do.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Well, here's a news flash for you. You got to
do something because the schools have turned into war zones
in a lot of the neighborhoods in America. Last year,
there were between I'm sorry, between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty four, law enforcement agencies reported one point three million
(33:38):
criminal incidents that happened on school property in the US.
And by the way, that included this is from Corey DeAngelis.
By the way, that included five hundred and forty thousand assaults,
forty five thousand sex offenses, and these are crimes that
are committed against children who are going to school where
(34:00):
it's supposed to be a safe haven.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
And by the.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Way, that figure is probably a large undercount, since only
nine thousand law enforcement agencies submitted a data to the FBI,
and there are eighteen thousand nationwide, So if you take half,
you have to assume that the figures are half, which
means that there would be almost two and a half
million crimes committed, with over a million assaults and over
(34:31):
one hundred thousand sex offenses in our schools in the
United States of America. And the kids are trapped every day,
kids are exposed to the violence and the abuse and
the chaos.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
That our government run institutions.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I've heard somebody referred to it as we shouldn't be
calling it public education.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
It's government education. Which makes the.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Case for two things. One, it makes the case for
school choice. People should not be be forced to send
their children to schools where there are other children who refuse,
who have never been disciplined, weren't raised with the same
values and morals, weren't raised with the same thought processes,
(35:18):
or some of them are just violent to begin with.
But why should you be forced to send your child
to a school where the other parents aren't willing to
discipline their children, and their children get away with whatever
they want to get away with, and the parent, the teachers,
god bless them, they have no way of actually disciplining
(35:42):
the children. In twenty fourteen, the Obama administration, I don't
know if you remember this or not, but in twenty fourteen,
the Obama administration was trying to reduce the prisons or
schools to prison pipeline, right, And they were like, look,
we're we're gonna undo all this. We're gonna have some
kumbai Ya circles and some emotional learning and.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
You take a fifteen year old that's never been disciplined
in their life and set them down and try to
talk to them about how you're going. Some of these
kids are six foot five and two hundred and seventy
five pounds. About that kid that beat that teacher up
in Palm Coast, Florida about three years ago. That literally
she tried to take his twitch away from him, and
he beat her so bad she was hospitalized for like
(36:30):
a week or two. That kid was six foot six,
three hundred and twenty pounds. What's that lady supposed to
do against that? He knocked her out with the first
punch and then continued to pummel her. You think that's
what we're listen. That kid that shot up Marjorie Stone
in Douglas High School back in I don't know, twenty
eighteen or something.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I don't remember where it was, but it.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Was that kid had been violent and extreme for years.
They there were students that would tell you that he
had brought knives, bullets, dead animals to school and had
threatened to kill and rape classmates. On one occasion, a
school administrator had ignored supposedly ignored evidence that the shooter
(37:16):
called another student by racial slur and attacked him that
kid was disciplined once that semester, which was a two
day in school suspension. In twenty fourteen, I'm sorry. Twenty twelve,
the Obama administration did a report in a study and
said that they found that this is a quote, that
(37:36):
black students were suspended, expelled, and arrested at higher rates
than white students. In response, the administration sent a dear
colleague letter to state and local education agencies in twenty fourteen,
threatening federal investigation if rates of exclusionary discipline that's a quote,
suspensions and expulsions were racially disparate. That by the way,
(38:02):
that guidance ignored a number of factors that are reality.
Many factors influence why discipline rates may vary by race,
including different levels of underlying misbehavior, which in turn can
be influenced by socioeconomic status, family structure, neighborhood characteristics.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
It is.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
It is imperative that our children be able to learn
in an environment that is conducive to learning.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
And when you have over a million.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Assaults in our public schools or government run schools, you
have over one hundred thousand sexual crimes in our schools,
there is a problem. And I don't care if you
can't see it or not, but it is discipline that
is the problem.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I am a big proponent and one of my daughters,
one of my granddaughters, goes to a school that has.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Uniforms.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
My daughter will tell you it's the easiest thing in
the world for her because she gets up every morning
she knows it's going to be that shirt and that
skirt and that's what she's going to wear to school today.
And if you go to many go to the Caribbean
and look at all of the schools on some of
the islands and Bahamas.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Every one of them wear's a uniform.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
They also walk in line when they're supposed to do
the things they're supposed to do, but they have the
ability to.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Discipline the children.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
We got to do something because it is not fair
for all of the kids that are and parents who
are paying the same taxes doing the same things that
everybody else is doing, but their children don't have an
environment in which they can learn. And there are teachers
out there that literally will tell you they go through
their day and it's easier just to a kid acts up,
(40:00):
will say, well, the parents aren't going to be real
happy about this, and they're going to push back on
the punishment, and so the teachers are like, whatever, I'll
just let them go about their day and do whatever
they want. That is not the way to grow a society.
That is not the way to grow people who are
and teach young people how to be actual, functioning members
of society that get along with other people and understand
(40:23):
the dynamic of discipline, respecting authority, doing the job, all
of the things that go along with trying to be
an adult that is an active, good member of society.
And that starts in our elementary schools, and it starts
in our our high schools, or it continues in our
(40:45):
high schools. But we've got to be able to discipline
kids somehow. There's got to be some consequence to the action.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Understand this thought process on the left that we are
going to try to kumbaya our way into making people
who have been for whatever reason, turned into criminals. And
I believe that society does that to a lot of
people socioeconomic status trying to just survive every day. Some
(41:15):
of the neighborhoods these kids have to grow up in
that are they see violence every day. The only way
to protect themselves is to join a gang. I get it,
but I can tell you that can all be changed.
It can be changed pretty quick. Get the purpose because
as a whole in society, probably five to seven percent
(41:36):
of all of the and I don't know the numbers,
but five to seven percent of the entire society is
are the ones causing ninety five to ninety eight percent
of all of the problems.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
But if you were on the left and you're backing
all of the.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Fewer cops, get the people off the street. We shouldn't
be putting them in jail.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
For that long. Blah blah blah, blah blah.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Your advocating on the wrong side. There is hard evidence
over the last fifty years that shows you that our
learning scores have gone down, our ability to discipline children
has gone down, our crime rates have gone up. There
are facts that you can't argue with that show that
we have shifted in society from hey, every now.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
And then, you.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Got to be disciplined.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Every now and then.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
We have to hold you accountable for your actions, whether
you're two years old or twenty two years old. And
if you do the crime, you're going to be forced
to do the time, whatever that is, even if that's
just a time out if you're two.
Speaker 4 (42:43):
We got to start doing something.
Speaker 5 (42:45):
Because these kids don't deserve the uh that, they don't
deserve to be put in a position on a consistent
basis where not only are they not capable of reaching
their full potential because they can't learn because they're being
disrupted by other students who have no discipline whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
But they deserve to feel safe, They deserve.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
To feel comfortable, and I think we'd be a better
society for it if we could find a way to
do it.
Speaker 4 (43:18):
It needs to be done, it needs to be done quickly,
all right.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
So I think I've covered just about everything I wanted
to cover.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Let's see, I'm sure I got this last one.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Oh, there's a book out there that came out from
a guy named Sean mckeekon called to Overthrow the World,
The Rise and Fall of Communism. A lot of people
are saying it's one of the best books they've ever
read to explain it and what's going to happen to
the to the United States if we don't get a
handle on this Marxism and communism crap that these kids
are spewing all right, This is Bonos Cars, brought you

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
All right, good morning everybody. I hope everybody's having a
great weekend. Way through September. Here, man's flying, flying, flying.
Pretty soon it will be time change time, and it
will depress me. I meant to say this at the
last week's show, and I I apologize because I had
(00:56):
lots of things going on, but I mean the sincerely,
my heart goes out to all of those parents and
the the students and the people that were affected by
the shooting in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago. And
(01:16):
it is I don't know what the answer is. I
talked last week about President Trump signing an executive order
to bring back the opportunity to have institutions that will
put people with mental illnesses in a way so they're
not a danger to people. But what I can tell
you is the moronic responses by people on the left
(01:41):
when I don't know if you saw it, but like Jensaki,
who was the press secretary for Biden with red hair,
said something every trade Vance had tweeted out something about
my prayers.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
And my thoughts go out for the people, and she's.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Like, prayers are not enough. There's we don't have we
don't need prayers anymore, or prayers don't stop school shooting,
blah blah blah, and Jade Vance is like, we pray
because we want to. We want the comfort from God
in times of need and in times of sorrow. But
I don't know if these people just truly believe, if
(02:17):
they've been so convinced in their idiocy that they truly
believe the stuff they're spewing, or what. But guns don't
kill people. People kill people. The weapon is just something
they choose. And Jacob Fry, who is the mayor of Minneapolis,
(02:37):
came out and said something about assault weapons, that.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
God didn't have an assault weapon.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
These people either are gun illiterate, or choose to ignore
the facts, or just don't care. I don't know what
it is, but guns don't cause the violence. I own
three or four of them. They've never shot a single person,
not one. But when you have when you have people
(03:03):
who have mental illnesses, it's the same thing that happened
at the Covenant School, you know, I have we have
a number of customers who are trans, older trans that
buy vehicles from us, and my suspicion is most of
them are like my customers that they just want to
(03:26):
be left alone live their life, and like Caitlyn Jenner,
just want to be left alone, live their their authentic
life and not be messed with. But the people on
the left are weaponizing, weaponizing people in the trans community
and getting them riled up and making it. If you
look at what that that person did and the manifesto
(03:51):
that they released, it was full of left wing talking points,
none of which are true. It was absolutely amazing to
me how much these people can be brainwashed. And at
one point I think that he even said and I
say he because at one point in the manifesto, if
(04:12):
I if I'm correct, I think they even said something
about they were tired of fooling themselves and were tired
of being trans.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
These people, some of them.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Have decided that violence is the only way.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
To release their energy.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
And he would have done it with a gun. He
would have done it with knives, he would have done
it with a bomb. He would have found a way.
But I'm tired of people saying thoughts and prayers aren't enough.
We need gun control laws.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
They know I've talked about this before.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Seventy I think it's seventy or seventy five percent of
mass shootings. I think it may actually I'm sorry, I
think it's ninety percent. Ninety percent of mass shootings are
done in gun free zones. They know I talked about
this when the Covenant shooting happened. If there's nobody that
they know, nobody in that particular building is armed because
(05:06):
they're gun free zones, and law abiding citizens are going
to abide by the gun free zone laws, then they
have free reign until somebody with a gun shows up
to neutralize them. It's just common sense. If you know
that nobody there's no opposition to you shooting. It's sort
of like when they went in in October seventh. When
(05:28):
Hamas went into Israel, they knew most of the Israel
had taken guns away from all of their people. The
Israeli population doesn't have guns. They knew when they went
in there there was nobody going to be able to
fight back. I don't know how why this is so hard.
If the good law abiding citizens, if you know there's
(05:51):
people in there, If you went to a movie theater
and you were a crazy man that wanted to shoot
up a movie theater, but you knew there may be
at least ten or fifteen other people that were packing
in that movie theater, you'll pick a different movie theater.
But if every movie theater is like that, you just
don't pick a movie theater. We need common sense laws.
(06:12):
I agree with that, and common sense says that we
need to have people who are are the opposition and not.
Gun free zones don't work idiots, they never have. The
criminals are still If you're willing to go murder five people,
I'm pretty sure you're willing to ignore a sign that
says gun free zone.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
How is this?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I don't understand how this is so hard for these
people to understand.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
I don't know. If it's brainwashed, I don't know. If
it's I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I can't. I cannot, for the life of me wrap
my mind around that thought process. Bad people are going
to do bad things. Unless there is a deterrent that
is readily available quickly, you can stop them. They're going
to do whatever it is they want to do. Laws
(07:05):
be damned. They're moving on. It is amazing to me.
But I truly we do have to find a way.
I am with the left on this. We have to
find a way to stop these school shootings. We have
to find something. But gun free zones aren't it. That's
not going to do the trick.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
It's frustrating to me.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
But hey, Trump's also asking for the vaccination. The drug
companies come out and tell us the truth about the vaccinations.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Finally, so there's that. I'll talk about that after the break.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
All right, This is Baonos Cars brought you by Chevrolet
Buick GMC of Murphysboro, Exit seventy six, Interstate twenty four,
Big Car Tower, come see us.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
Here's your host, Bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
All right, welcome back everybody. So I've always asked asked
this question, and I really don't. It hasn't got It's
only gotten like this over the last ten or fifteen years.
But I've asked myself the question just left his drive
(09:00):
a person crazy, right, And I think the answer is yes,
but in various ways. So there was a let me
just kind of read it to you because it was wild.
(09:20):
We know about gender just war you, right, And that's
been kind of a fancy but fading fad, right, and
it's kind of starting to go away, and some of
that has to do with the violence that's been perpetrated.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
But there was an.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Article in the Daily Septic. A lady named Mary Galise
had some details and it just says, in the past
couple of terms, visiting schools and further education colleges, I've
noticed an increasing number of teenage girls using walking sticks.
It's not unusual to see disabled children in mainstream schools,
generally one or two wheelchairs. Also handful of students with
temporary breaks on crutches or wearing a plastic boot. But
(10:04):
it's a new site for me, at least to see
teenage girls using walking sticks, especially two girls in one
group with walking sticks decorated with stickers. When three separate
girls over the past month told me that they have
been have suspected or finally diagnosed POTS POTS, I remember
the old adage two's a coincidence, three's a trend. I've
learned that POTS, as well as being a lively TikTok
(10:26):
and insta hashtags, is short for postural tacardia syndrome and
involved feeling dizzy when standing up, hence the need for
walking sticks. There is no cure, and according to the NHS,
POTS affects everyone differently with severe symptoms such as lightheadedness
or weakness.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Or extreme tiredness.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Hashtag did you Yawn as a popular hashtag for the
growing community of POTS sufferers. So now we have another
social contagion, right, so it goes on and says not
a real name. A seventeen year old recently diagnosed POT
sufferer was able to explain things for me. I've always
(11:05):
been been very tired and feel funny every time I
stand up. I printed out the post description for my
GP who sent me to a consultant. I had to
lie on a wobbly table and then get up. I said,
I felt dizzy. So I got my diagnosis, which is great.
Her plan is to do a three month nail technician
course at the local college in September, but she now
adds sadly, now I have pots, I don't know if
I'm going to be able to manage the bus journey.
(11:26):
It's eighty minutes each way. She's been advised to stay
hydrated and to make sure she takes in sufficient salt,
but she's returning to her GP to find out if
there are any pharmaceutical options. She already receives PIP payments
for her anxiety and wonders what her new diagnosis will
mean when she has her benefits review next month. When
young girls all are starting to have the same illness,
(11:52):
that is a fad. It's people trying to have an
illness just to have an illness, and it's cool to
be sick, like it was cool when I was in school.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
It was cool if you broke your arm or broke
your leg.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I broke my ankle was a couple of times playing ball,
and broke my arm one time playing ball, But if.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
You had a cast, it was cool. Everybody could sign
it and it got noticed because it was different.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
But this need to constantly have some sort of ailment
or malady is odd to me, and it seems to
affect the people on the left more often. So there's
another article that I was reading that was talking about
this social contagion, but also how the data is very clear,
(12:43):
and it talks about how the left is crazy because.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It wants to be.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
So people, especially white people on the left. White women
on the left, have been told for years and years
and years, males two but as much affected that they
have white privilege and that it is real and inherent
and everybody on that this white is inherently racist and
(13:11):
blah blah.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
And so they've taken it to extremes and taken it
to heart instead of knowing their own heart and knowing
their own mind and the way they feel, they decided that, yes,
I have white privilege, but I also have multiple personal
multiple personality disorder, crippling anxiety and Tourette's.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
I'm such a victim.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
And by the way, there's some Pew data that showed
the voluntary adoption of the issues is primarily happening on
the left, reinforcing the fact. By the way, this is
based in ideology, not actual medical diagnosis. So I talked
(13:53):
a couple of weeks ago about outer locus and innerlocus,
where outer locusts you believe there are things outside of
your control that are are happening to you and causing
your life to be this way, and you're a victim
of society and a victim of all the things around you.
And the innerlocust, which is I control my own destiny,
I control my own thoughts, I control my own behaviors,
(14:15):
I control my.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
Life.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And it is a direct contrast between people and the
right and people on the left. But it also determines happiness.
It determines those young girls using those walking sticks are
doing so for sympathy, and they're doing it because now
some of them may actually have POTS. I don't even
know what pots is. Maybe it's possible, but it can't
(14:40):
be that all of a sudden, ten percent of the
population of young females has this pots. It's just it
didn't happen for you generations, and now all of a sudden,
one of them gets it, and ten percent of the
people have to have it. It's absolutely astounding to me.
(15:03):
So last year, the American Psychological Association published a Stress
in America in twenty twenty four. It was called Stress
in America in twenty twenty four, a nation in political turmoil,
and I think it can be seen as a guide
(15:24):
to what's about to come right at the time. More
than seven into this is from the report. More than
seven and ten adults reported the future of our nation
as a significant source of stress in their lives, making
it the most common source of significant stress in this
year's survey. The economy was the second most common, with
seventy three percent of adults having reported it as a
significant source of stress. By the way, why is the
(15:46):
economy a significant source of stress for anybody? The economy
doesn't it affects my life in that people have I
need people to buy cars and get But the reality
is most people, the economy is not going to impact
your life. It's the economy, not your life. Your situation
(16:06):
is under your control.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Anyways.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
The economy of the second most was seventy three percent reporting
at twenty twenty four. US presidential election followed closely at
sixty nine percent, though the finding was similar to the
previous election at sixty eight percent. Twenty twenty itself was
marked was a marked shift from twenty sixteen, when only
fifty two percent reported stress as a result of our
political process. In addition, more than seven in ten adults
(16:33):
were worried about violence, and more than half, whopping fifty
six percent, believe the election could be the end of
democracy in the US. Perhaps even more incredibly and disturbingly,
around two in five adults reported the state of the
nation has made them consider moving to a different country,
and the political environment in their state has made them
(16:55):
consider moving to a different state. In addition, two thirds
of adults felt in sixty four percent felt as though
their rights are under attack, while around a third of
adults reported the political climate has caused strain between them
and their family members, and thirty percent limit their time
with their family members because of that stress and don't
think they share the same values.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
Now, think about that.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
How First of all, who is it that continually yells
out that it's a threat to democracy a threat to democracy?
Speaker 4 (17:25):
First of all, we don't live in a democracy.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
We live in democratic republic and a representative republic. But
why do you think that all of these other things.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
You got to quit saying this.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You got to quit using this rhetoric that it's the
end of democracy. Donald Trump is going to leave peacefully
after he leaves office, just like he did the last time.
He is acting in no way, shape or form like
a dictator. I said this right after he got elected
back in November. Put a list of all the things
you think are going to happen together, and then in
(17:59):
eight months or a year, when none of them have happened,
maybe you come back to reality and say, I've been
fed aling a crap from the entire mainstream media. Who's
lying to me. I've been fed a load of crap
from all the people on the left that are in
the in Congress, and maybe they're lying to me. You've
got to be able to use your own brain. You've
(18:19):
got to be able to think for yourself and handle
it for yourself. I'm telling you that none of this
stuff truly affects your day to day life. Your family
affects your day to day life. Being a good father,
being a good husband, being a good mother, being a
good wife, being a good child, being a good brother.
All of those things affect your life. Being a good
employee doing the right thing. The rest of this is
(18:43):
noise from politicians who are trying to keep us divided.
Don't let them be happy.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Be happy you live in the greatest country on Earth.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
All right, Welcome back everybody.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
So, about a month ago I was gonna talk about this,
and I just have been talking about lots of other stuff,
but I'm gonna bring it up now. So about a
month ago was the anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima,
Roshima and Nagasaki. And back when the anniversary was happening,
(20:08):
I read numbers of articles and was trying to understand
what happened and why because there are a lot of
people now that are, like, you know, nuclear what we
did was so wrong, it was so immoral, so many
people died. But I think that's a very myopic, narrow
version of what actually Truman had to go through. And
if you've watched the movie Oppenheimer, or there was one
(20:31):
before that that had Paul Newman in it called Fat
Man and little Boy, and fat Man and little Boy
was basically the same type of movie as Oppenheimer, except
Oppenheimer was probably a little bit better. But fat Man
and little Boy were the names of the two bombs
that were dropped. And there was some I mean, this
(20:54):
is nineteen forty two, forty three, and forty four. The
technology that they were trying to come up with, and
obviously it was incredibly secret.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
They had it spread out over three different sites.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Nobody knew what they were really working on. The fear
at the time was if anybody, if the scientists knew
what they were truly trying to work on, and why
that they would not work on it because of the
moral implications. And I don't envy President Truman for having
to make the decision that he had to make, but
you have to be able to put yourself in the
(21:26):
position of what was actually happening in nineteen forty five
to truly understand how that decision was made in Imperial
Japan at the time. These are the same people who
had kamikaze pilots that.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Were okay with.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Flying their plane into the side of a ship and
losing their life just to prove a point. And they
were unwilling to ever surrender.
Speaker 4 (21:58):
So at the time.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
They conventional warfare back in the day that would have
kept going had he not plan, had he not dropped
the bombs and made the decision to drop the bombs
is a horrible reality. Horrible it goes on and talks about.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
So I made some notes here.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
They that both sides at the time there were plans
that they had that in the range of results, by
the way, all of which would unleash massive horrors on
huge scales. So Truman, General George Marshall and the rest
of the US Command structure had had just gone through
(22:39):
the insane blood baths of Saipan, Iwo, Jima, Okinawa, and
they were insane blood baths, Lots and lots and lots
of people died, and they had plans and said that
a direct, a direct invasion, because there were plans for
US to invade Japan. That was the only way we
were gonna be able to get them stop. A direct
(23:03):
invasion would have produced a nightmare that would destroy lives
on even bigger scales than what happened, especially Japanese civilians,
but that they were going to turn Japanese civilians into combatants.
They did that later in some of the battles in
the in the island battles of.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
The Pacific Theater or in the later island battles.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
In the Pacific Theater. They turned civilians into combatants. And
so there were US estimates at the time saying that
there were how many casualties that were going to be
The US estimates at the time were five million casualties
before Japan could be pacified into two different campaigns, and
most of those were going to be civilians. It was
(23:48):
going to be at least a million of those would
have been American deaths. And Truman had already started at
the time to begun accelerating drafts to gain another one
hundred thousand men a month in nineteen forty five in
anticipation of, hey, we don't know if we're gonna get
this bomb ready or not. We don't know if it's
(24:08):
going to work or not. We don't know what the
end outcome is going to be. So they were ramping
up another one hundred thousand young men a month to
go fight against Japan.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
So while they knew that.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
The ward had picked up dramatically in nineteen forty four,
they knew that Truman knew.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
That a.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Trying to have a ground con quest of Japan may
not be politically sustainable.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
He didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I mean, you got to remember how many people, that's
a million Americans that were going to die, and we'd
already lost a bunch, so he made a decision to
drop a bomb to try to stop the killing. Yes,
a lot of people died, Yes, a lot of people suffered, absolutely,
But the amount of people that were going to suffer
(25:01):
and the amount of people that were going to die
if they hadn't done it, were far exceeded the number
of people that died because we did it. And I
think that it's very easy to constantly judge the future,
I mean the past with what we know in the future. Right,
So hindsight's twenty twenty. But even in hindsight, if you
(25:26):
truly study what actually happened. You know that he made
the right decision. He did what needed to be done
to stop the war, just like Donald Trump made the
decision that no other president was willing to make to
stop Iran before it got to the point where they
had the opportunity to kill millions of Westerners. And that's
(25:48):
exactly what they were trying to do, or at least
kill all of the people in Israel. That's what they
were trying to do. That was their ultimate goal, and
somebody had to stop them. And you can complain, you can,
you can say whatever you want, but the end result
is those are the decisions that strong leaders have to
make and what is the alternative.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I'm going to do this. If I do this, what's
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Now, speaking of strong leaders, we've got some who are
absolutely weaker than Circus Lemonade. So China, I've talked about
this before. China is doing everything they can to undermine
the United States of America. Now, part of the problem
(26:35):
is China's economy is built on hours. And I didn't
know this until I started doing some research the other day,
but it turns out that China has a lot more debt.
We've got thirty seven trillion dollars in debt, but that's
one hundred and twenty five percent of our GDP right now.
The there was a report that came out that said
that government sector debt including local government financing, vehicles and
(27:00):
associated funds, stood at one hundred and twenty four percent
of GDP in twenty twenty four, while China's total debt
was measured at three hundred and twelve percent of GDP.
So we're at one hundred and twenty five percent of GDP,
they're at three hundred and twelve percent of GDP. Part
of the problem is most of the companies, most of
the factories over there, apparently they have warehouses full of
(27:21):
merchandise because they're built on making stuff, and they make
way more stuff than they consume. And so we are
the consumers of most of the world's goods. We have
a consumer driven society. They have a manufacturing driven society.
If you're not spending the money and keeping the money flowing,
you don't grow. You don't grow, and so in an
(27:45):
effort to keep things going and make it look good,
I mean, let's face it, back in two thousand and eight,
when they had the twenty or the Yeah, the two
thousand and eight Olympics, China looked like a juggernaut. They
look like, oh my god, look at what they've done.
And they they are they have the ability, but they
are drowning in debt right now, and so they're doing
(28:06):
everything they can to try to undermine the United States.
One of the things they're doing is buying land by
naval I mean military installations around the country.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Katie Hobbes, who is the.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Governor of Arizona, Vetota bill recently that would have stopped
any Chinese entity or Chinese owned entity from buying land
near a military installation. Doug Bergham, who is now in
the Trump administration but was the governor of North Dakota,
(28:42):
signed a bill saying that you couldn't buy land around
a military installation in North Dakota. That's the difference between
those two leaders. One's appeasing China, who is our direct competition,
and I don't care what you say. They are in
an adversary. They are doing what they can to destroy
the United States. They flew balloon from across the entire
United States while the Biden administration knew it was there.
(29:05):
And didn't do anything but wait until it got all
the information that needed to shoot it down over the
Atlantic Ocean off of South Carolina, and then didn't bother
to tell anybody in the United States about the actual
information and what they knew about it for weeks. That
goes back to what I talked about last week in
the where the Biden and Biden and his son were
(29:27):
both in bed with the Chinese. We've got to We've
got to find a way to stop China now because
if we don't, if we allow them to continue to
take our military secrets, we.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
Allow them to.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Get by land around military installations, we allow them to
buy our They owned Smithfield Farm, so they control a
large portion of our pork industry.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
We've got to do something.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
And I think that Trump is the only one who's
willing to truly stand up to the because he's one
of the few that doesn't have they don't have anything
on They can't do anything to him because they have.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
They have no dirt on him.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
He hasn't been compromised like most of the politicians right
in left in Congress. By the way, they're doing a
bunch of Arctic research, and China is and it's not
it's reconnaissance. And there has been increased Chinese research vessel
(30:29):
activity in the US Arctic recently, and if we don't
stop them, there is no telling what's going to happen.
But and it could be ten years, it could be
twenty years, it could be next year.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I don't know. But they're doing something that is nefarious.
Count on it. And we have the economic power to
stop him right now, but we got to use it.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
All right.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
This is Bonos Cars brought you by Chevrolet Buick GMC

Speaker 4 (30:56):
Come on back. After the break.

really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
All right, welcome back everybody. So when I was in school,
we had at a principal his name with mister Ferguson.
Mister Ferguson was a fairly large fella.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
He was Uh, I don't know, six two six three.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Look, I was a kid in school, so maybe he
was five ten, but at the time he looked like
he was six two six three, weighed probably two twenty
five two thirty and uh. He had this paddle that
he kept that was about a.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
I don't know. We made it in shop class. Whatever
happened to shop class.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
By the way, man, that should be back.
Speaker 4 (32:27):
We should be teaching kids' skills with their hands and stuff.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
So we made it in shop class and we had
to shellack it and make it nice, and we had
it emblazoned with uh.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
I think it said.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
The Punisher was the name of it. And if if
you were unlucky enough to get sent to the principal's office,
he had the right to give you three wax with
the paddle. Now, I know some people think that that
(33:01):
is cruel and unusual punishment, and their parents out there
in today, and probably my daughters are probably like this,
like I don't want anybody else disciplining my child, and
that's not for you to do, that's for.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Me to do.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
Well, here's a news flash for you. You got to
do something because the schools have turned into war zones
in a lot of the neighborhoods in America. Last year,
there were between I'm sorry, between twenty twenty and twenty
twenty four, law enforcement agencies reported one point three million
(33:38):
criminal incidents that happened on school property in the US.
And by the way, that included this is from Corey DeAngelis.
By the way, that included five hundred and forty thousand assaults,
forty five thousand sex offenses, and these are crimes that
are committed against children who are going to school where
(34:00):
it's supposed to be a safe haven.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
And by the.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Way, that figure is probably a large undercount, since only
nine thousand law enforcement agencies submitted a data to the FBI,
and there are eighteen thousand nationwide, So if you take half,
you have to assume that the figures are half, which
means that there would be almost two and a half
million crimes committed, with over a million assaults and over
(34:31):
one hundred thousand sex offenses in our schools in the
United States of America. And the kids are trapped every day,
kids are exposed to the violence and the abuse and
the chaos.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
That our government run institutions.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
I've heard somebody referred to it as we shouldn't be
calling it public education.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
It's government education. Which makes the.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
Case for two things. One, it makes the case for
school choice. People should not be be forced to send
their children to schools where there are other children who refuse,
who have never been disciplined, weren't raised with the same
values and morals, weren't raised with the same thought processes,
(35:18):
or some of them are just violent to begin with.
But why should you be forced to send your child
to a school where the other parents aren't willing to
discipline their children, and their children get away with whatever
they want to get away with, and the parent, the teachers,
god bless them, they have no way of actually disciplining
(35:42):
the children. In twenty fourteen, the Obama administration, I don't
know if you remember this or not, but in twenty fourteen,
the Obama administration was trying to reduce the prisons or
schools to prison pipeline, right, And they were like, look,
we're we're gonna undo all this. We're gonna have some
kumbai Ya circles and some emotional learning and.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
You take a fifteen year old that's never been disciplined
in their life and set them down and try to
talk to them about how you're going. Some of these
kids are six foot five and two hundred and seventy
five pounds. About that kid that beat that teacher up
in Palm Coast, Florida about three years ago. That literally
she tried to take his twitch away from him, and
he beat her so bad she was hospitalized for like
(36:30):
a week or two. That kid was six foot six,
three hundred and twenty pounds. What's that lady supposed to
do against that? He knocked her out with the first
punch and then continued to pummel her. You think that's
what we're listen. That kid that shot up Marjorie Stone
in Douglas High School back in I don't know, twenty
eighteen or something.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I don't remember where it was, but it.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Was that kid had been violent and extreme for years.
They there were students that would tell you that he
had brought knives, bullets, dead animals to school and had
threatened to kill and rape classmates. On one occasion, a
school administrator had ignored supposedly ignored evidence that the shooter
(37:16):
called another student by racial slur and attacked him that
kid was disciplined once that semester, which was a two
day in school suspension. In twenty fourteen, I'm sorry. Twenty twelve,
the Obama administration did a report in a study and
said that they found that this is a quote, that
(37:36):
black students were suspended, expelled, and arrested at higher rates
than white students. In response, the administration sent a dear
colleague letter to state and local education agencies in twenty fourteen,
threatening federal investigation if rates of exclusionary discipline that's a quote,
suspensions and expulsions were racially disparate. That by the way,
(38:02):
that guidance ignored a number of factors that are reality.
Many factors influence why discipline rates may vary by race,
including different levels of underlying misbehavior, which in turn can
be influenced by socioeconomic status, family structure, neighborhood characteristics.
Speaker 5 (38:24):
It is.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
It is imperative that our children be able to learn
in an environment that is conducive to learning.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
And when you have over a million.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
Assaults in our public schools or government run schools, you
have over one hundred thousand sexual crimes in our schools,
there is a problem. And I don't care if you
can't see it or not, but it is discipline that
is the problem.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
Whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
I am a big proponent and one of my daughters,
one of my granddaughters, goes to a school that has.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Uniforms.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
My daughter will tell you it's the easiest thing in
the world for her because she gets up every morning
she knows it's going to be that shirt and that
skirt and that's what she's going to wear to school today.
And if you go to many go to the Caribbean
and look at all of the schools on some of
the islands and Bahamas.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
Every one of them wear's a uniform.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
They also walk in line when they're supposed to do
the things they're supposed to do, but they have the
ability to.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
Discipline the children.
Speaker 3 (39:37):
We got to do something because it is not fair
for all of the kids that are and parents who
are paying the same taxes doing the same things that
everybody else is doing, but their children don't have an
environment in which they can learn. And there are teachers
out there that literally will tell you they go through
their day and it's easier just to a kid acts up,
(40:00):
will say, well, the parents aren't going to be real
happy about this, and they're going to push back on
the punishment, and so the teachers are like, whatever, I'll
just let them go about their day and do whatever
they want. That is not the way to grow a society.
That is not the way to grow people who are
and teach young people how to be actual, functioning members
of society that get along with other people and understand
(40:23):
the dynamic of discipline, respecting authority, doing the job, all
of the things that go along with trying to be
an adult that is an active, good member of society.
And that starts in our elementary schools, and it starts
in our our high schools, or it continues in our
(40:45):
high schools. But we've got to be able to discipline
kids somehow. There's got to be some consequence to the action.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
I just don't.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Understand this thought process on the left that we are
going to try to kumbaya our way into making people
who have been for whatever reason, turned into criminals. And
I believe that society does that to a lot of
people socioeconomic status trying to just survive every day. Some
(41:15):
of the neighborhoods these kids have to grow up in
that are they see violence every day. The only way
to protect themselves is to join a gang. I get it,
but I can tell you that can all be changed.
It can be changed pretty quick. Get the purpose because
as a whole in society, probably five to seven percent
(41:36):
of all of the and I don't know the numbers,
but five to seven percent of the entire society is
are the ones causing ninety five to ninety eight percent
of all of the problems.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
But if you were on the left and you're backing
all of the.
Speaker 3 (41:53):
Fewer cops, get the people off the street. We shouldn't
be putting them in jail.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
For that long. Blah blah blah, blah blah.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Your advocating on the wrong side. There is hard evidence
over the last fifty years that shows you that our
learning scores have gone down, our ability to discipline children
has gone down, our crime rates have gone up. There
are facts that you can't argue with that show that
we have shifted in society from hey, every now.
Speaker 5 (42:23):
And then, you.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
Got to be disciplined.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Every now and then.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
We have to hold you accountable for your actions, whether
you're two years old or twenty two years old. And
if you do the crime, you're going to be forced
to do the time, whatever that is, even if that's
just a time out if you're two.
Speaker 4 (42:43):
We got to start doing something.
Speaker 5 (42:45):
Because these kids don't deserve the uh that, they don't
deserve to be put in a position on a consistent
basis where not only are they not capable of reaching
their full potential because they can't learn because they're being
disrupted by other students who have no discipline whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
But they deserve to feel safe, They deserve.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
To feel comfortable, and I think we'd be a better
society for it if we could find a way to
do it.
Speaker 4 (43:18):
It needs to be done, it needs to be done quickly,
all right.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
So I think I've covered just about everything I wanted
to cover.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Let's see, I'm sure I got this last one.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
Oh, there's a book out there that came out from
a guy named Sean mckeekon called to Overthrow the World,
The Rise and Fall of Communism. A lot of people
are saying it's one of the best books they've ever
read to explain it and what's going to happen to
the to the United States if we don't get a
handle on this Marxism and communism crap that these kids
are spewing all right, This is Bonos Cars, brought you
(43:56):
by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysborough.
Speaker 4 (44:00):
I appreciate you tuning in come see us next week.
