Speaker 2 (00:32):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
All right, good morning everybody. So Christmas is coming soon,
and once again I try to say this every year,
but we are a Toys for Tots drop off spot
at Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro. We've been very fortunate
(00:57):
over the last number of years. We still when I
first got here about ten years ago, and we've always
had quite a few toys brought to us. A couple
of times we've had some pallettes delivered to us. So anyways,
it goes to a great cause. It's supported by the Marines.
And if you want to drop some some toys off,
(01:18):
please feel free anytime. And I am officially over winter.
We're into it by about three weeks and I hate it.
I can't stand cold weather. This sucks, man. I want
beside the fact that gets dark at four point thirty
in the afternoon. The cold just can't stand it. Anyways.
(01:43):
On another note, al Gore's not in real good mood.
For the first time since twenty fifteen, we hurricane season ended,
and guess what, we didn't have any hurricanes that hit
land in the entire United States of America. We had
a couple that got pretty bad. There was a bad
one that hit Jamaica and it did quite a bit
(02:05):
of damage. But overall, that climate change thing that they've
been screaming about and how it's making all of the
storms worse, and we're going to continue to get hit
with more storms because the the ocean is heating up
and blah blah blah blah blah. Not true. Still not true.
I'm gonna make it true just because you keep saying it.
But hey, you do whatever you gotta do. Keep talking
(02:28):
about it. Maybe maybe maybe one day out of the
uh I don't know, fifty or sixty predictions you guys
have all made over the last thirty or forty years,
maybe one day one of them will come true, because
so far, I'm pretty sure that none of them have
come true. So I was reading an article the other day,
(02:54):
and you know, it is absolutely amazing. I know you guys,
if you pay any attention at all, you've heard of
all of the fraud that has been uncovered in the
great state of Minnesota, led by uh, that fine gentleman
Tim Waltz. That over a billion dollars in fraud that
(03:18):
they have, they've uncovered most of it. I think I
read something that said seventy six of the seventy eight
people arrested in the feeding Feeding Our Future or whatever
it was called, it was one of the two hundred
and fifty million dollar frauds that seventy six out of
the seventy eight people that were arrested for that particular
(03:38):
fraud scheme were Somalis. And I was I was reading
something the other day from the Minnesota Star Tribune and
they were talking about making sure that you didn't just
blame all somillions for the uh, the fraud that it was.
They're not a monolith, and that it's not you can't
(04:00):
you can't paint that broad stroke of all Somali's commit fraud.
Two things that I took away from that one, I'm
pretty sure that if you go over and start looking
at the Somalian culture that that type of breakdown in
their government. They don't really have a government that runs anything.
(04:23):
It's all a bunch of clans that fight against each
other for power or control. And I think that it's
part of their it is part of their culture. Just
like there was a young man I'm getting to a
point here, there was a young man that was arrested
in that same area in Minnesota for raping a twelve
(04:44):
year old girl. He'd been here for twenty years, and
the entire Somalian community, well, I say the entire a
lot of the Somalian community at the time wrote a
letter vouching for him and actually talking about what a
great guy was, that it wasn't his fault that he
hadn't assimilated into the non Somali culture. Yet he's been
(05:06):
here twenty years, and if part of your culture is
raping young women, that's a problem. That's not assimilating into
the culture of the United States. That's we don't allow that.
That is not okay here in the United States of America.
I don't know what culture it should be okay in,
but it's it's not okay in this one. And so
(05:29):
the Minnesota starts. Rebute was talking about you can't paint
all Somalis and with this broad stroke, and I thought, well,
wait a minute, I'm pretty sure that same standard does
not apply when it came to conservatives, because you guys
all want to paint that broad stroke and say we're
all Nazis or anybody Joe Biden saying anybody that voted
(05:51):
for or supported President Trump was garbage. You paint everybody
in that broad stroke in other instances, especially when it
comes to once again conservatives. I have this problem with
people coming to the United States, and I've said this before.
(06:12):
You cannot you cannot bring there to here without here
becoming there at some point. And while we are a
melting pot or a salad or whatever everybody wants to
call it, I don't really understand, you know. I guess
the new term now is we're a salad. There we
have all these different ingredients that are part of it.
(06:33):
As opposed to a melting pot, everything kind of tastes
the same once you put it all together. We're a
salad where you can taste the tomato, you can taste
the lettuce, or you can taste the care or you
can taste whatever's in the salad separately, but together they
all make one dish, but they have separate parts. I
don't believe in that. I think it's supposed to be
a melting pot. I think we're supposed to have one
culture that you assimilate into this culture instead of bringing
(06:55):
your Why did you bother to come here? If the
culture you want is the culture you have over there,
why did you come here? Because at some point, if
you continue to manifest that culture here here is going
to become there, and then what then where do you go?
I just I don't think that we're doing this the
(07:16):
right way, and I think that we have to get
back to assimilation. Without it, we're going to have serious
trouble down the road. And it's starting to come together
pretty quickly here that the cultures that are becoming prevalent
(07:37):
inside the United States of America are not what Western
values have always taught us to be. So hopefully we
figure it out pretty quickly. I don't know what we're
gonna do if we don't. Anyways, this is Bonos Cars,
rants about lots of other stuff brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro. Come on down and see
(07:58):
us and bring some toys for Todds.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
All right, welcome back everybody. So you've listened to the
show at all, you you know, I have two daughters,
four grandchildren, and I have a son, but he is
yet to find the right person to settle down with.
(08:57):
He's trying to make his fortune on his own, and
I'm very proud of him. He's doing a great job.
But my daughters are They're really good mothers, they truly are,
and I'm proud of the fact that they throw all
the trauma in their lives. They have turned out to
be very good wives and mothers, and I'm proud of that.
(09:19):
I think they've done a great job. When I was
growing up, I'm gonna tie all this together, but when
I was growing up, I lived in Florida most of
my life, and my dad was in the car business,
and he had when I was first growing up, he
had some jobs where we lived in Orlando, and then
he took a job as a general manager at a
dealership in Cocoa Beach, Florida, and then we moved to
(09:42):
de Land, and then he bought the Ford Store in
Flagger County in nineteen seventy six. Prior to that, when
we were living in Coco I remember distinctly my mom
had this big bell that you could ring and you
could hear it. And I had to be five at
the time, because I we moved to the Land when
(10:04):
I was in third grade, so I was probably five,
maybe six, but I don't remember exactly, but I was young,
and I remember there were these sand dunes that we'd
all go ride our bikes on and and sometime when
it started getting dark, my mom would ring this bell
and I just knew I could hear the bell from
quite a ways away. I just knew that it was
(10:26):
time to go home. That it was could have been dark,
could have been I don't know, but it was time.
And I remember, you know, it was always get out
of the house, go go do something, you know, don't
don't stand, don't stay here in the house, and somewhere
along the way, and I was I read an article
(10:47):
by the other day that triggered this thought process, and
I was thinking, man, that that's just so true. Somewhere
along the way, we have lost that ability for kids
to just go be kids, and you know it. I
remember one day I was I was riding my bike
to the YMCA. This is a different time. I was
(11:08):
probably ten or eleven at the time. It was riding
my bike to the YMCI was going to go play
some basketball, and the YMCA was a good I don't know,
three or four miles away. It was down in Fort
Lauderdale when I was down visiting my mom. My mom
and dad had gotten divorced, and so I remember this
white van circling the block and looking at me on
my bike, and nothing ever happened. It just seemed odd
that this guy kept circling the block while I was
(11:30):
on my bike head in to the y And I
started to tying the two together and thinking, you know,
the fear of your child being abducted, is that what's
caused the issues now that the kids can't go out
and play and you're worried about them. It's not go
out and you know when the street lights come on,
it's time for you to come home kind of thing.
(11:53):
And is it really child abductions that's the problem, and
it's not. It's not child abductions. There are thirty thous
and reported child abductions every year into the FBI, who
have special teams of child abduction child abduction teams, And
every year there's thirty thousand reported abductions or reported child's
(12:14):
children missing. Ninety percent of those are resolved. They're either
a parent or their runaways or something. It's not really
the boogeyman that comes and takes your child. The actual
number of people who are abducted or children who are
abducted by a stranger is really, really, really low. I
think it was like two hundred and twenty five cases
(12:35):
last year across the entire United States that the FBI
reported of children who had been abducted by a stranger.
And so if it's not truly that, if it's not
truly the fear of the abduction, what was it that's
causing parents to be so worried about their children being
(12:58):
out and about and doing the thing and being children.
And this guy made a point and he said, you
know what it is. It's Karen's it's the busy body
next door. It's the fear of having Child Protective Services
called on you because you're not right in the middle
of your children's activities at every moment. In two thousand
(13:20):
and twenty and fifteen or sixteen, I can't remember which
one it was. There was like a ten year old
and a six year old were walking home from a
park and CPS was called on what they called free
range parents. It was in Maryland. And the free range parenting,
by the way, is now the fringe parenting type, right,
(13:42):
so the parenting type where it used to be the standard. Now,
if you're a free range parent you allow your children
to have to roam and be children in play, you
are a you're a bad parent. There was an eight
year old that was walking or dog in Illinois not
too long ago, and a nosy neighbor called the police
(14:05):
and claimed that there was a five year old that
was walking alone. That neighbor even called the Department of
Children and Family Services, so they closed the case that
once they figured out the next door neighbor was exaggerating
that it wasn't a five year old wandering by themselves.
(14:25):
Do I think a five or six year old should
be wandering around by themselves? I don't know. It depends
on the neighborhood you live in. It depends on where
you are and what you're doing. But to have people
call child protective services last year there were four point
three million referrals to child protective services last year. That
(14:48):
is absolutely insane to me that people cannot allow their
children or their neighbors to raise their children the way
they see fit and to get involved in it constantly,
and the fear. And I remember my daughter telling me
recently that her fear of child protective services being called
and then taking her children was one of her greatest fears.
(15:10):
And I thought, man, that is insane to me that
you have to live thinking that somebody could call child
protective services. I know what a great part they are.
I know how much they love their children, and I
know that they children are going to get hurt, children
are going to have issues, but they have to learn
to be children. And I'm going to tell you what
else is causing It's causing serious problems. You want to
(15:32):
know why the birth rate is as low as it
is because parents are getting fatigued trying to raise children.
The amount of time you have to spend with your
child consistently at this point is like forty percent higher
than it was when I was growing up. You can't
have Can you imagine having four children and having to
have them all in the house all the time because
(15:55):
you can't get away from them, or you can't let
them just go play in the yard for fear of
being turned into the police or child protective services. It
causes fatigue in relationships for the adults, It causes issues
for the parents. It is absolutely insane to me that
kids can't be kids anymore. And it's because of helicopter
(16:19):
parents and the awfuls, the affluent white female liberals that
think that they know everything, they want to be involved
in everything they want to They're just busy bodies and
it's annoying and it's destroying part of our society. It's
not up to you to descermine how I raise my children.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
That's up to me.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
And if I want my children to be able to
be to play and to be well rounded, and to
have freedom outside and not be cooped up in the
house and to burn off some of that energy because
I need a break sometimes I need a break from
my children. I want them to go play. I can't
you can't be in the house anymore. Go go do something.
(17:05):
And at some point I don't know. And most of
the people that are doing that, most of the people
that are calling child Protected Services, because we've talked about
this before, are probably the childless cat lady females that
don't know what it's like to have to raise a
child to begin with. We have got to figure out
a way to undo this mess in our culture that
(17:31):
has gotten us away from the basics when it comes
to education, reading, writing, and arithmetic, and we've got to
get away from this everybody being involved in everybody else's
stuff that's or allowing the schools to raise your children
or all of it is just so sideways to me
(17:55):
that look, I know at this point, I'm old. I
get it, and I talk about the good old days.
But there's a reason why the good old days were
the good old days when there wasn't this much stress
involved in everything and people were just on the whole happier.
(18:16):
I cannot imagine going through life every day with a
chip on my shoulder, mad about something. The way some
of these people do just always upset. I've talked about
it before. Seventy five percent of people who identify as
females who identify as liberal have also been diagnosed by
(18:38):
some health professional with some mental illness. And I don't
know whether that's depression, whether it's it doesn't matter, some
sort of mental illness. There's just something wrong with that statistic.
Let's kids be kids, let them have fun. All right.
This is Bonos Cars, rants about lots of other stuff,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMS of Murphysboro. Come on back.
(19:01):
After the break.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he has
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
All right, Welcome back everybody. So I know I say
this a lot, not intentional, but it's just the way
I start off things. I was reading an article the
other day and it was talking about college aged kids,
and I right now, the kids that are in college,
(20:01):
most of them were in high school or middle school
when COVID hit, and they they literally they got shafted.
These kids that trying to teach kids in the environment
that they were being taught in in a lot of
these states where they didn't open the schools back up
(20:24):
for a year, year and a half, they missed out.
They truly got shafted with that, that whole mess. And
I feel for them because they are trying their best
to navigate and they got in their one or two
of their most formative years. They got pushed to the side,
(20:45):
and it was it was bad. Now with that said,
I think a lot of them are starting to take
advantage of that. There was a an article the other
day that said that forty percent forty percent for zero
four out of every ten students enrolled at Stanford University,
(21:10):
one of the premier universities in the world for certain
in the United States of America, forty percent of those
students are classified as disabled. At Harvard it's over twenty
percent of them are classified as disabled. At Brown and
(21:32):
Brown it's over twenty percent, Amherst thirty percent, Stanford nearly
forty percent. Now, the rules were written back in the
day to allow them for somebody who actually truly was
disabled to be able to be accommodated in taking tests
in spaces that they needed it for. Maybe it's additional
(21:55):
time something, but it seems to me like most of
these kids just abusing the system and getting a classification
as a disabled person so that they have accommodations that
the rest of the people in the classes don't necessarily get.
(22:16):
And I thought, we are teaching these kids to work
the system, and there is something seriously wrong with that, seriously,
So I don't I try not to do this very often,
but I found this this thing about from another college
student that goes to Texas A and M the other
(22:36):
day and I thought, man, that this student, if this
was my son or daughter, I would be so proud
of them if they had written something like this. So
there was a professor that put out a thousand word,
one thousand plus word op ed that at Texas A
and M. And he did it anonymously. I had to
say they did it anonymously, and it was this op
(22:58):
ed defended the woke faculty and the DEI related issues
and urged the students to organize against conservative political interference
that was supposedly undermining academic freedom. So this young lady,
Justino Russell, pended a letter back to him and sent
(23:22):
it into the Texas A and M student newspaper, who
refused to publish it, And so she published it on
her own. And I'm going to read it because it
truly embodies everything that I believe. And I think that
whoever this young lady's parents are, have done an excellent
job at teaching her values and morals. So bear with
(23:46):
me here, dear anonymous professor, you are profoundly detached from
the real issues affecting us, our families, our country, and
the world today. We are the most depressed, anxious, suicidal, obese, addicted,
and indebted generation in American history, and the first to
be worse off than our parents. We are forced to
take pointless courses, buy out rageously expensive textbooks for information
(24:09):
freely available online, and serve as a captive audience in
a system where everyone from publishers, administrators, and banks to
professors like you, profits while we drown in debt. The
numbers don't lie. Almost forty percent of students drop out
burdened by loans but no degree. Half of those who
graduate end up in jobs that never required a degree
(24:29):
in the first place. A bachelor's degree has become one
hundred thousand dollars high school diploma. What caused this collapse,
you ask, you and your ideologies did. You are no
longer educating us to build, compete, and lead. You are
indoctrinating us to deconstruct, resent, and surrender. In economics, you
promote Marx and Kinsy and financialization, offshoring and money printing
(24:53):
policies that make homes unaffordable and force us to work
two jobs just to pay bills. You omit Austrian school
economists like Mesis and Hayek, who defended the free markets
that built the unprecedented prosperity we enjoy today. You smear
capitalism as oppressive while pushing the actually oppressive redistribution schemes
that have failed everywhere that they've been tried. In psychology,
(25:16):
you idolize Alfred Kinsey as the father of the sexual
revolution and John Money as the one who coined the
term gender as separate from sex. Yet you never tell
us that Kinsey gathered information or data from pedophiles who
abused babies, and that Money's theory was founded on his
experiments with the Rhymer twins, both of whom committed suicide
from the trauma. In literature, you replace Shakespeare, Dickens, and
(25:39):
Dante with a racist dei quota system, choosing books based
on race and victimhood instead of merit. The more marginalized
the author, the less their work is critiqued, and the
more you celebrate it. In sociology, you force feed us feminism,
an ideology that teaches women to resent men, motherhood, and family.
You glorify Simone de de Boy, de Beauvoir, de Beauvois,
(26:04):
and Betty Frieden, but hide the inconvenient truth that single,
childless women are the unhappiest demographic, while married women in
Christian households report the highest life and sexual satisfaction. In history,
you teach that slavery was America's unique sin, ignoring that
it was universal until white Christian nations abolished it first.
You never mentioned the six hundred thousand Americans who died
(26:27):
ending it, the Royal Navy's anti slavery squadron that liberated
one hundred and fifty thousand slaves, or that slavery still
thrives in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. In philosophy,
you prioritize Marx, Freud, and Focat the philosophers of disorder,
over Aristotle, Aquinas and Locke, who built the foundations of virtue,
(26:48):
natural law, and liberty. You conveniently leave out the philosophical
purpose of freedom is to do what is good, not
do whatever we want. In political science, you present the
genocidal failures of Marxism, socialism, and communism as viable alternatives
for academic debate, while downplaying the brilliant liberty ensuring architecture
of our constitution. You dismiss foundational mechanisms like the separation
(27:12):
of powers and the electoral college as archaic flaws, and
ignore the wisdom of the federalist papers because you are
racist towards the white Christian males who authored them. In
the sciences, you deny the biological reality of sex, even
though every single one of the sixty trillion cells in
the human body is either male or female and no
amount of hormones can change that. Instead of helping people
(27:33):
with body image and mental health issues, you promote their
permanent and irreversible mutilation to virtue signal. And we could
go on. But the bitter irony is that you stand
on the shoulders of the giants who built this country,
this state, and this university, using your cushy job to
spin on their legacy and the values that have driven
given you everything you enjoy today. You take parents' life
(27:55):
savings and teach their kids to hate them, their faith,
and their heritage, cause fights over Thanksgiving dinner. You aren't
teaching us how to think, you're teaching us what to think.
You turn the marketplace of ideas, where each site is
supposed to be heard equally, into an indoctrination camp where
only the approved party line is parroted. You created the
first generations in world history without love for their God,
(28:17):
their family, or their country, and then wonder why they're miserable. Meanwhile, China,
Russia and our competitors teach their engineers calculus and physics,
not gender studies and wokeness. They laugh at us as
they dominate in AI energy and manufacturing. So why are
you scared when taxpayers demand a return to excellence? Why
(28:39):
fear being recorded? What are you teaching that can't stand scrutiny?
Lobotomies and eugenics were once taught too. The gender unicorn
is just the current pseudoscience. You're not scared of politicians.
You're scared of losing your six figure taxpayer funded salary
because your indoctrination model is failing what you're seeing around
you as a call on Texas A and M, the
nation's universities, and the West to become once more the
(29:02):
leader of the educational world as it is the leader
of the free world. We need engineers, not ideologues, builders
not critics. We need more Charlie Kirks, not more Ebram
x Kendy. We need where your customers, your bosses, and
your product is broken. Don't gaslight us for demanding a
better one. Signed Justino Russell, Texas A and M student. PS.
(29:26):
I want to defend the truth, so I'll sign my name.
If you were teaching the truth, why didn't you sign
with yours? And I thought that young lady is brilliant,
that young lady was well thought out, and by the way,
they chose not to publish it because they said her
point by point style did not meet their editorial standards.
(29:54):
What that tells me is that the people running that
student newspaper, the College Fix. Oh that's not the call.
I found that article in the College Fix, the Texas
A and M student newspaper. They obviously are afraid for
people to read the other side of that argument that
the teacher put out there. And she's right, they are
indoctrinating these kids. They come out of there with one
(30:14):
hundred thousand dollars degrees. That look, half of my sales
staff right now has a college degree. Didn't require it
to come sell cars, doesn't require it at all. Probably
would have been a whole lot better off starting using
that four years that they were getting the degree. Would
have been better off using that four years to start
earning a living and started off without one hundred thousand
(30:37):
dollars in debt. But hey, you keep teaching them whatever
you teach them. And to the parents that are sending
their children off to these indoctrination camps, I'm sorry when
they come back and hate you. It's not their fault.
That's what you taught them, that's where you sent them,
that's who's teaching them.
Speaker 2 (30:54):

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So say what you want
to about President Trump, and lots of you probably say
some pretty bad stuff, and I'm not one of those
because I recognize he truly. Whether you believe this or not,
(32:07):
no matter how many times you times you screech fascist
dictator blah blah blah blah blah, the reality is that
he is doing what he needs to or what he
believes is the right thing, to try to put Americans first.
And I can't argue with that. I would expect the
Canadian president to do whatever they need to do to
put Canadians first, the Mexican president Claudia Sinbaum to do
(32:30):
whatever she needed to do to make sure that it
was Mexicans first. And that goes for every country in
the world. Without it, we don't have countries. We have
one world order. And people have been saying for years
that everything he says he is bombastic. He believed. Look,
(32:52):
he's a New York real estate developer. He's doing everything
he can to promote the ideas that he believes our best.
And he's got some really smart people around him that
have been very, very very successful. You know, you could
say what you want about him, but the man is
success and he has he has built that success on
positive thinking, energy and excitement. What did Joe Biden ever
(33:16):
create in his life? Nothing? He started in Congress thirty
three years old. What did Barack Obama ever create in
his life? Nothing? Nothing. These people don't know how to
run a business. These people have never run businesses.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
They don't need.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Say what you want about Trump. But the man gets
stuff done and he is doing what he can to
ensure that the United States of America is the best,
most profit profitable, good country on earth. And he said
something the other day that I think that people were shocked.
(33:52):
If you're not paying attention, he said that he thinks
that in the very very near future, we could get
rid of the income tax that income tax is. I
made a comment the other day when I was reading
the article about it. I commented on the article and said, yeah,
that'll be great for the fifty percent of us that
pay one hundred percent of the taxes. The other fifty
(34:12):
percent that don't pay any of the income taxes won't
carry the way. They just keep voting for the people.
Tell them to get more free stuff. But Trump said
he said tax instead of I'm quoting him. Instead of
taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, will tariff and
tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens. UH. For this purpose,
(34:33):
we are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties,
and revenues. It will be from massive amounts of money
pouring into our treasury coming from foreign sources. The American
dream will be will soon be back and thriving like
never before. Imagine taking a getting one hundred percent of
your paycheck and keeping it and being able to determine
(34:53):
what you want to do with it. And I thought, man,
think about that. We do this all the time every time.
I just had to pay taxes a couple of weeks ago,
and I wasn't real happy about writing the check. But
the reality is I write a check and then you
guys give it away in Congress to other countries. So
there was a a former IRS commissioner. His name was T.
(35:18):
Coleman Andrews, and he was the Commissioner of the IRS
for about three years in the early fifties, and he
wrote a resignation letter. Well, he wrote a statement after
he resigned, and I want to read it to you
because I thought it was really poignant. So again guy
named T. Coleman Andrews. Back in the fifties, he was
(35:39):
the IRS commissioner, and after he resigned he penned a
letter and it said, Congress, in implementing the sixteenth Amendment,
went beyond merely enacting an income tax law and repealed
Article for the Bill of Rights by empowering the tax
collector to do the very things from which that article
says we were to be secure. It opened up our homes,
(35:59):
our pay papers, and our effects to the priding eyes
of government agents, and set the stage for searches of
our books and vaults, and for inquiries into our private
affairs whenever the tax man might decide, even though there
might not be any justification beyond mere cynical suspicion. The
income tax is bad because it has robbed you and
me of the guarantee of privacy and the respect for
(36:21):
our property that were given to us in Article four
of the Bill of Rights. This invasion is absolute and
complete as far as the amount of tax that can
be assessed is concerned. Please remember that under the sixteenth Amendment,
Congress can take one hundred percent of our income anytime
it wants to. As a matter of fact, right now
it is imposing a tax as high as ninety one percent.
(36:42):
This is downright confiscation and cannot be defended on any
other grounds. The income tax is bad because it was
conceived in class hatred, is an instrument of vengeance and
plays right into the hands of the communists. It employs
the vicious communist principle of taking from each according to
his accumulation of the fruits of his labor, and giving
to others according to their needs, regardless of whether those
(37:03):
needs are the result of indolence or lack of pride,
self respect, personal dignity, or other attributes of men. The
income tax is fulfilling the Marxist prophecy that the surest
way to destroy a capitalist society is by steeply graduated
taxes on income and heavy levies upon the estates of
people when they die. I thought Bett, I had never
(37:27):
seen it put that way, but he's absolutely right. The
income tax is built on the Communist manifesto of from
each according to his needs, or no, from each according
to his abilities, to each according to his needs. So
if you have the ability, you have to give it
to the other people. And that's what the income tax does.
(37:49):
It's wealth redistribution. And I that is a Marxist Communist
thought process. And for the first I think there was
a For the first I don't know, seventeen hundreds to
mid eighteen hundreds, when the Civil War started, teriffs were
(38:09):
the main source of income for the United States of
America and our government, and then they levied a special
tax for the Civil War at one point, and then
they repealed that. But then in nineteen thirteen when Congress
passed the sixteenth Amendment allowing them to essentially confiscate up
to one hundred percent of our income. Since then, that's
(38:32):
been the source of income for our federal government while
taking it from us and still accumulating thirty eight trillion
dollars in debt on the other side, How is any
of that right fair or good for our country? And
at some point we have to find new ways to
do this. If we keep doing the same thing over
(38:52):
and over and over again and somehow expecting a different result,
that is the definition of insanity. And we've been doing
it the same way since nineteen thirteen, over one hundred
years now, we've been doing it the same way. Tax
the citizens. As soon as you find out you want
to spend more money, go get it from everybody else
out there that's working hard. Irrespective of the fact that
(39:14):
fifty percent of the people are takers net takers from
the government. So fifty percent of us are out there
busting our hump every day doing everything we can to
generate income and to build the economy up, while the
other fifty percent get to take it from us just
because there was a guy that an illegal immigrant, that
(39:35):
was trying to By the way, let me back up
a second. The Biden administration. In the four years that
Joe Biden was in office, that administration issued four million
Social Security numbers to illegal immigrants. Four million social Security
(39:58):
numbers to illegal immigrants. So not only did they get
a soid Security number. They could go to a state
like California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York and also get a
driver's license. And with a driver's license and a Social
Security number, how hard do you think it is to
get on the voter rolls. Don't tell me it's not happening.
It's happening constantly. But there was an illegal immigrant that
(40:18):
I was reading about the other day that wanted to
take a job and ask the employer if he could
be paid under the table because he didn't want to
jeopardize his eighty four thousand dollars a year in benefits
that he was getting from the federal government, Our federal government,
eighty four thousand dollars a year. How many of those
people are out there like that getting that kind of
(40:39):
help from people like me and you that are out
there busting our hump every day trying to work and
make a living. And why is it okay? Why is
it okay for Guatemala to send us five hundred thousand
or a million of their citizens while we still send
Guatemala a billion and a half to two billion dollars
worth of eight every year? Why did you keep your
(41:01):
citizens there and we send you the money or send
your citizens here and we don't send you the money.
You can't have it both ways. But we still continue
to do that in our federal government day after day
after day, and the people that are out there railing
so hard against President Trump are literally fighting to continue
to keep doing that, never once looking up at the
(41:21):
clock that says we are thirty eight trillion dollars in
debt and it's not getting any better. We have to
find a new way to do this. If we don't
find a new way, we are absolutely headed for economic ruin,
and there's nothing that's going to stop it. And yet
these morons keep wanting to do the same thing and
(41:43):
act like it can just go on forever. It's no
different than I've said this many many times. Margaret Thatcher
said the problem with socialism is eventually you run out
of other people's money. That's where we are, and right
now there are The European Union currently holds somewhere around
two and a half to three trillion dollars of our debt.
(42:06):
The European Union, because they hold so much of our debt.
The other day was talking about there were meetings that
if we did not continue to hold or support Ukraine
in the Ukrainian Russian conflict, that if we didn't continue
to support Ukraine, that the European Union was going to
band together and sell off our debt, it would crash
(42:29):
the market. You think two thousand and eight was bad,
You think that the financial crisis in two thousand and
seven and eight, when the mortgage backed securities were going
belly up, you think that crisis was bad. Let the
European Union go out there and try to start selling
off two and a half to three trillion dollars worth
of our debt and watch it crater our debt costs. Well,
it will explode our debt costs, It will create our economy.
(42:52):
And do you want to keep having those people? Those
people over in the other countries have the ability to
hold that anvil over our head every single day because
we have him figured out a way to do something different.
The man is doing everything he can to find new
ways to do something because the old ways aren't working.
They're continuing to cause us absolute chaos and putting people.
(43:18):
It's giving the European Union, it's giving the Chinese, it's
giving all of them power over us because of this
debt issue. And until we figure out a way to
stop that. It's going to just keep getting worse. It
is absolutely unfathomable to me that we're going to continue
to do this and somehow it's going to change something.
(43:40):
So once again, say what you want about the man,
but he absolutely is trying to do things differently and
come up with new ways to run the economy. So
I give him credit for thinking outside the box. Maybe
he can't get rid of the tax, the income tax,
that'd be great. All right, that's the end of the show.
