With over thirty years in the auto industry, he is
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough. For all of your automotive needs,

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, good morning, everybody, happy, Uh, whatever day it
is you're happening to listen to the show, sincerely appreciate
you guys all tuning in it. Uh. We're moving quickly
and rapidly into the uh springtime, and I couldn't be
more excited. I like it when it warms up and
cold hurts right starts. UH frostpot on your ears and
(00:57):
your hands hurt. He can be aggravating, but the cold hurts.
Before I get too far into the show, I want
to remind everybody that Easter is around the corner and
we will be having our the Chevrolet Buy GMC of
Murphysboro Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Blackman High School Saturday,
(01:18):
the Saturday before Easter, starting promptly at ten o'clock. And
I had some people ladies mad at me last year
because we started at ten and by about ten fifteen
it was over, and they got there late and wanted
to know if we had any extra eggs for their kids.
And I'm like, look, I'm sorry, but we start at
ten o'clock. Everybody else was here at ten. We can't
(01:40):
just wait and accommodate everybody. I mean, we take a
lot of time putting this thing together, and it's many
thousands of dollars for me to do it, and it's
not fair to everybody else to have to sit around
and wait and wonder when somebody's going to show up.
They started a whole Facebook group on me and stuff.
I mean, it was bad because I started on time
(02:01):
and they were late. Teaching your kids? Really how that works? Right,
Let's yell at the people who did it the right
way because we were wrong, but we're mad at them
for doing it the right way. Anyways, I digress the
I think our name was Karen too, if I remember correctly,
I think Karen Something. Don't hold me to that, but
I'm pretty sure it was Karen Something. Anyways, please join
(02:25):
us for the Easter egg hunt and be more than
happy to have as many people as we can there
we have. I think we ordered thirty or thirty five
thousand eggs this year, so it should be enough for everybody.
So I got a I haven't done this in a while,
and I was thinking about it the other day that
I used to do the how hypocritical can you be?
And it struck me the other day that when I
(02:49):
start reading all these reports of everybody on the left
trying to not only interfere with Trump and what he's
trying to do, but they are literally taking the side
of the criminals and trying to make them okay when
we're deporting them. Right, So that wasn't the hypocritical part,
(03:11):
but they're literally taking that side. And so I started thinking,
how is it that you can support abortion but not
the death penalty? Right? You support abortion up to the
ninth month, but you don't support the death penalty. I'm
trying to rectify that in my own brain. How it's
(03:32):
okay a nine month or a nine month baby up
until the moment of birth, apparently some of them were
pushing for, but not a criminal that has committed a
heinous crime. I just don't understand that but hey, I
don't understand a lot of the way people think. You know,
the other thing that drove me nuts. The other that
(03:54):
I don't know if you guys saw this story, but
the media was trying to make a story out of
and it was either Politico, the Bulwark, or one of
those places tried to make a story with the headline
that said Trump offers his bed to a congresswoman as
long as she doesn't tell his wife. Now that was
(04:15):
the headline, or very very very close, I maybe paraphrasing slightly.
Here was the true story. He did. He offered a
bed to a congresswoman. Her name was Anna Pauline A Luna.
She's a congresswoman from Florida. She was nine months pregnant
and was getting boarding Air Force One with her husband,
and he offered her the bedroom to go lay down
(04:37):
if she needed to, because she was nine months pregnant
and he was trying to make things comfortable for and
he offered it to her right in front of her husband.
There was nothing nefarious about it, nothing wrong about it,
nothing anything about it, and yet the media turns it
into this sex scandal when that was so far from
(04:59):
the truth that anybody with any brains could see that.
What is it with Trump derangement syndrome that you literally,
I've said this many times before, you literally have to
make stuff up. That man has been the most scrutinized
business person, politician, human being in the world up to
and including his family for the last twelve years, ten
(05:24):
years something in there, and they have yet to still
find anything truly that he's done wrong. I hear the
thirty seven convictions. Nope, I'm telling you, if you got
half a brain, you know that's bogus. The sexual assault
claim that some lady made from nineteen ninety eight or
(05:45):
ninety six, and she couldn't remember the exact date, She
just knew it was in the middle of the day
in Bergdorf, Goodman in broad daylight. And she never told
a single soul until twenty seven years later or thirty
years later. But hey, we're supposed to believe her right.
Just absolutely astounding to me. Speaking of which being under scrutiny,
(06:06):
it turns out that there's another another Biden out there
that might have a little bit of trouble with the irs. Apparently,
Ashley Biden is now in a little bit of trouble.
Let me see if I can find it here. A
little bit of trouble with the irs. She didn't pay
her taxes on a two hundred and fifty thousand or
(06:27):
forgot about a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars donation
that apparently came in to something she was running here there,
let's see, yeah, to the art it came in And
by the way, it was a two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars donation that came from Harry and Meghan Marko
and Harry Prince. Harry, they donated two hundred and fifty
(06:51):
thousand dollars grant to the Women's Wellness Space. And here's
the funny part. The numbers don't add up because reading
from an article here, the Women's Wellness Space reported total
receipts of just one hundred and seventy two hundred ninety
six dollars twenty twenty three. So how do you miss
a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars donation when you've
only taken in one hundred and seventy thousand dollars other
(07:12):
than that in the entire place. Every time you turn around,
there seems to be another scandal involving the Bidens, and
I I'm going to talk about one of them here
coming up after the break. But it is just absolute
lunacy the things they keep trying to hang on Trump
while completely ignoring all of the actual real stories out there.
(07:35):
All right, don't forget. We got a dast egg hunt
coming up Saturday, the before Easter. I can't remember what
day it is. I'll try to remember here in a minute,
but I hope everybody joins us. This is Bono's Cars,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro. We
are located on Interstate twenty four, Exit seventy six, coming
(07:55):
down to see us.

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

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
All right, welcome back everybody. I uh I appreciate you
guys tuning in. So this past week we UH found
out that the ceasefire and the Hamas Israeli war had
ended because amasque just. I know this is going to
(09:06):
be hard to believe. Most people won't truly understand this.
But Hamas renigged on most of the things they had
promised during the ceasefire, like delivering the hostages back, doing
all of the things they were supposed to do. They
renegged on that, and so Israel unleashed on them. And
at some point you have to get to the fo
(09:29):
part of FAFO right, and you have to figure out
what there has to be some consequence. If you know
I've told this story before, I'm gonna tell it real quick.
I was six years old, five years old. My mom
and dad had gotten divorced, and UH. I was living
with my mom and she was very She wasn't big
(09:51):
on punishment, she wasn't big on discipline, and I figured
that out of the age of five years old, and
by the age of seven, I had to go live
with my dad. But the UH at the age of five,
I remember I was at a nursery school or one
of those after school programs at my sister and I
went to and we were there and it was a
Friday afternoon and it was late. My mom was picking
(10:11):
us up and she was a single mom, and I
saw her over there talking to one of the aides
and she got done talking. I apparently had been acting
up that day, and she comes over and she says
to me, you know what you're gonna get when you
get home, young man. And at five years old, this
isn't right. And I'm not advocating for this, but I
(10:32):
looked at her and said, yeah, nothing, because I knew
at five years old that I could get away with
whatever I wanted because she didn't punish me. She didn't
She didn't follow through on the punishment part of the threats,
and I knew that, and so you know, I was
going down the wrong path. Ended up having to live
with my dad, and he straightened me out because he
(10:53):
didn't threaten. He just did. And I guess that's what
I'm trying to relate back to this hamasis. At some point,
you got to get to the to the point where
we've told you enough, we've threatened you enough. If we
don't follow through on the threats in some way, shape
or form or fashion, then we're weak and we appear weak,
(11:15):
and they will continue to take advantage of us. There
are bad people in this world who will take advantage
of our kindness and our weakness if that kindness is
perceived to be weakness. So I'm I'm all for unleashing
Holy hell on them until it until we can figure
(11:37):
out how to how to make them commit to doing
the right thing, being not disgusting human beings that are
willing to use human beings and babies as shields, which
which brings me to the next thing. And I don't understand.
I do understand the support for Ukraine. I do. I
(11:58):
understand it. I understand the need to push Putin back.
I understand the need to not let him just take
over another sovereign country. What is the endgame? I guess
that's the point that Trump keeps trying to make tell
me what the endgame is. Because he's got more people,
(12:20):
he's got more weapons. We either have to commit to
putting boots on the ground, which I am one hundred
percent against. It's not our war, or we have to
find a solution. He's bigger, he's stronger. He's going to
continue to pummel those other that smaller opponent unless we
find a way to get him to the table and say, hey,
(12:40):
will you please stop beating him up? And I don't
know what the end result is, but if everybody thinks
that the result's going to be that somehow Ukraine has
enough soldiers, enough people to continue in this meet, grounder,
there's been a million and a half young men and
women and civilians dead on both sides, and Putin doesn't care.
(13:06):
He doesn't care that he's got another five hundred thousand conscripts,
that he's taken people out of prisons, he's thrown them
on the front line. He's taken people from North Korea
that had no dog in that fight whatsoever other than
they were starving, and so hey, maybe if I go
over here and fight, somebody will feed me. They're just
chewing through human beings like they didn't matter, and to Putin,
(13:28):
they don't. He's got one end goal. He is an evil,
rotten human being that is bigger, batter and has more
firepower than Ukraine does. So how do we get him
to stop? Somebody on the left that doesn't just say,
keep giving all the weapons to Ukraine, Keep giving all
(13:48):
the weapons to Ukraine, Keep giving all the weapons of Ukraine.
Tell me how you make him stop, and if somebody
can come up with a solution other than hey, we
got to get him to the table. Otherwise he's just
going to keep doing that. I'm open. But what I
can tell you is for three and a half years,
the current policy hasn't worked, and all of the families
(14:09):
of those million and a half people that have died
have had to suffer because we can't get some sort
of agreement together. Do I agree with appeasing Putin and
giving him all the land that he's currently taken over. Nope,
I don't. But what's the alternative other than we put
more of our people on the ground. Ukraine's running out
(14:30):
of people. I don't know. I don't know what the
answer is. What I know is that you can't continue
to do it the way it's been going and expect
that all of a sudden we're going to be able
to or Ukraine is going to be able to somehow
defeat Putin. And why did nobody ever criticize the policy
(14:52):
of the Biden administration that forbid any US made weapons
from being fired upon in any fashion, in a especially
an offensive fashion, into Russia. You're either in it to
win it, or you're not one of the two, but
this meat grinder where we just keep sending human beings,
(15:14):
young men, possibly young women. I don't know what about
the Russian army and the Ukrainian army and whether they
allow females in or not, but innocent civilians continue to
get killed for what. I'm with the President on this one.
You tell me a better solution, because the three and
a half years we've been going through, the solution that
(15:36):
has been just give them more money and more weapons.
That's not working. It just I don't know. I don't
know what the end result is. I know that it
absolutely sucks for all of those human beings that are
having to deal with that, all of them. Oh. On
another note, the I don't know if you guys saw
(15:59):
this or not, but Fannie or Fannie Willis, I don't
remember how you I don't I really truly don't know
how to pronounce it. I've heard it pronounce both ways.
Who was the attorney general or assistant district attorneys who
was something in Georgia that was trying to get Trump
on campaign thinks she's the one that finally got a
(16:22):
mugshot of him that probably helped him win somewhat helped
win the the election, but she was hit by a
judge with a fifty four thousand dollars fine for the
mishandling of the documents in that case related to her paramore.
Mister was that guy's name. I can't remember the guy's
(16:44):
name that she was having the affair with, but yeah,
she got hit with a fifty four thousand dollars fine.
So she got to a little bit of that fo
stage of the FAFO, right. She decided to try to
just do whatever she wanted to do and wasn't able
to get that well, found a judge that wasn't willing
(17:07):
to let her do just anything she wanted to do.
And then there was the other. I found another article
this week that there was a IG report from Michael
Horowitz about the j six episode that happened. Turns out
that Michael Horowitz said in his IG report that there
(17:32):
were twenty six FBI assets that attended the January sixth riot.
They were confidential human sources that were paid by IT
that a paid FBI informants. The report also stated that
there were three officially that only three were officially tasched
to be at the Capitol that day and three informants
(17:52):
broke the law and went inside. But the more we
find out, the more and by the way, they were like,
I don't know two thousand or something interviews that they
did with people about j six, But Christopher Ray, who
was the acting FBI director, was not one of the interviews.
(18:15):
How how how did he get out of not being
interviewed and put under oath and ask questions about what
the role of the FBI was and how is it
We still haven't found the pipe bomber. We found all
of these people through the technology, but the pipe bomber
that supposedly put a bomb down there was the only
one whose data was corrupted on their cell phone. We
(18:35):
found everybody else except this one human being. Something just
doesn't add up right when it when when the logic
doesn't seem to be logical, it seems like it's a
made up story. It seems like you're trying to hide something.
It's kind of like the Jeffrey epscene. Stuff just doesn't
seem to add up. Anyways, I got other stuff to
(18:56):
talk about when we come back. This is Bono's Cars,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro. Come
on back. After the break.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he is
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is bow No's Cars, brought to you
by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough for all of your
automotive needs called six one five six four five one

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
All right, welcome back everybody. So the other day I
saw an article about a Brown University he's here on
an H one B visa and was apparently a kidney
transplant specialist at Brown University that happened to she got detained,
(20:12):
and the media was all up in arms because we
had a kidney transplant universe specialist from Brown University, educated
at Brown that happened to go back home to visit
some friends. Was the narrative on MSN on the mainstream media. Uh.
But when she got tried to get back into the
(20:34):
United States, she got detained and then got deported back
to the country, and they were all up in arms.
What they failed to say about the part of the
story that was the truest part was she when she
went home to quote unquote visit relatives. She went to
the funeral of the Hesbella leader that had just been
(20:56):
killed by airstrikes and said that she did told him
that's where she went. When you have somebody that is
supporting a known terrorist that is out for blood for America,
I don't care. Look, being allowed into this country is
not a right, it is a privilege. You are privileged
(21:18):
to get a visa. Just like Mackmood Khalil, the guy
that was creating all that those problems at Columbia that
shut down university buildings, held up protests, tortured or terrified
Jewish students throughout the entire campus. It's like Marco Rubio
said about that man. You know, when you get a visa,
(21:38):
we have the right to reject that visa application for
any reason whatsoever, because it's a privilege to get a
visa to come into the United States. And if during
your visa interview you said I plan on coming in
there and terrorizing a bunch of Jewish students and shutting
down federally funded government buildings, schools that are have some
(22:01):
federal funds attached to it, hundreds of millions of dollars,
and I plan on disrupting the education system in those
schools and trying to advocate for hamas and terrorist organizations.
If you said that during your interview process, your visa
would be denied, and it would it should be a
good reason for anyone to deny that person of visa.
(22:24):
You're telling us you're coming in here to disrupt our
system and our way of life, and that's not acceptable.
You want to do that in the other country, have
at it, go ahead, just not here. And so same
thing with this Brown University lady. Yeah, if you told
us you were going to support HESBLA and terrorists that
were trying to kill as many Americans and have some
(22:48):
sort of intefada against Americans across the world, which should
we just let everybody in, no matter how much harm
they plan to do to our country. That makes no
sense to me, and it shouldn't make sense to anybody
that doesn't just hate this country, and that why are
we supposed to allow people who hate the country to
(23:08):
get in? Speaking of Brown though Brown is also you know,
you got these Ivy League institutions that at some point
are going to lose their luster there's no way you
can continue the practices that these universities continue to practice
while taking federal funds. By the way, still irritated about that,
Why are we giving Harvard a penny when they're sitting
(23:30):
on a fifty billion dollar endowment, making five billion dollars
a year just on the interest on or investment aspect
of it, and only paying one and a half percent
interest on their capital investments while the rest of it
are not interest but taxes, while the rest of us
have to pay a much higher capital gains tax and
don't have near that kind of money. Why are these
universities getting away with all this while we still give
(23:52):
them more money, and then they take that money and
charge an exorbitant The average fee charged to a private
grant for administrative costs by the universities as fifteen percent.
The average fee charged to the government when the government
gives them a grant is fifty to sixty percent. How
(24:12):
is that fair? They're just ripping us off, and they
don't care, and they're laughing at us while they do it.
But Brown has decided that this should scare the Bejesus
out of all of you. Brown has decided now that
DEI should carry more weight than excellent clinical skills. So
there was a tweet I saw the other day that
(24:35):
said Brown University now gives diversity equity and inclusion more
weight than excellent clinical skills and its promotion for criteria
for faculty. The criteria, say DEI is a major criterion.
So here's what it says. Major criterion demons demonstrated commitment
to diversity, equity and inclusion. Number one effort toward advancing diversity,
(24:57):
equity and inclusion in at least one area for which
candidate is evaluated research, teaching, clinical service, or clinical care
and service. The minor criterion is excellent clinical skills, evaluation
by peers or supervisor, and evaluation by students and residents.
So let me make sure I understand this in your
medical school. In order to promote faculty, excellent clinical skills
(25:20):
for a doctor fall beneath DEI for your ability to
get promoted within the university. And you think that's okay,
When did it? Why did it become such a horrendous
practice that the best person for the job gets the job.
(25:41):
I've said this many many times. My general manager, Bubba Roufner,
is one of the best I've ever seen at his job,
and I mean that sincerely, And he got there one
hundred percent based on the fact that he outworked everybody else,
was better than everybody else had it, And Bubb's black
(26:05):
had nothing to do with his color. When I was
trying to promote him, I was promoted him because he
just did a better job than everybody else. I don't understand,
especially when it comes to medicine, why we're getting away
from the need for the very best person to have
(26:25):
the job. But hey, I also don't understand a lot
of things that people on one side of the aislell do.
For instance, I don't know if you guys caught this recently,
but you know, Gavin Newsom, Governor Harrigel they call him,
is apparently launched a podcast and he's getting ready. He's
(26:46):
winding up to try to run for twenty twenty eight
and who knows, maybe that's the best they've got out there.
But let me just tell you how stupid a lot
of the policies. First of all, if you're paying any
attention whatsoever to California, you know that they are in
a heap of trouble between all of their automobile mandates,
and they're chasing their tail when it comes to DEI,
(27:07):
chasing their tail when it comes to climate change, chasing
their tail when it comes to trying to be at
the forefront of all of these socialist programs. And have
done a good job but at being at the forefront
of all of them, but it seems to be not
financially and fiscally responsible. Let me give you an example.
(27:28):
In twenty fifteen, Governor Jerry Brown, who was governor before Newsom,
signed a bill that allowed let's see, that allowed undocumented
children to join medical which is their version of Medicaid
for the state or Medicare. Then in twenty nineteen, Gavin
(27:48):
Newsom signed a law that expanded that to that full
scope of medical across or access for young adults nineteen
through twenty five, right regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
So first it was just undocumented children under the age
of eighteen could join. Then it was regardless of citizenship
or immigration status, everybody between the ages of nineteen and
(28:10):
twenty five could join medical free insurance for everybody. Then
they had another expansion of the system that took a
place in January of twenty twenty four that allowed for
an approximately seven hundred thousand other undocumented residents between twenty
six and forty nine to be eligible for full coverage. Now,
I don't know who pays for that, but I'm pretty
(28:32):
sure it's not the people who are eligible for the
free stuff. They're not paying for their free stuff. It's
everybody else. So when California at the time, there was
a senator or name was Atlanta Drazzo that said, this
historic investment speaks to California's commitment to health care as
a human right. I don't know when healthcare became a
(28:53):
human right. I don't really understand that. In order for
health care to be a human right, that means you
have to be able to tell that person who studied
for eight years and did all of their internship and
was smarter than other people to be able to go
be a doctor. You, sir, you madam, have to give
all of your talents away to these people over here
(29:14):
for free because healthcare is a human right. Makes no sense.
But here's the deal, So California. I'm just going to
read it real quick from the article here. California became
the first state in the nation to offer healthcare to
an all income eligible to all income eligible immigrants one
year ago, which gave Gavin Newsom another liberal achievement to
(29:36):
talent when louding the Golden State as a national trail blazer.
But the nine and a half billion dollar price tag
of California's program is already more than three billion dollars
above the budget estimate from last summer and is expected
to grow higher. In February, the newsomme administration toll lawmakers
at a budget hearing at the state capitol that the
(29:57):
cost of expanding coverage to all immigrants was coming in
much higher than anticipated, with higher than anticipated enrollment and
higher pharmacy costs. So the best estimate last summer turned
out to be that it was short three billion dollars,
and now the Department of Finance is in California is
asking for a three point four billion dollar loan from
(30:19):
the general Fund to cover the shortfall. Who would have
thought that expanding healthcare to anybody undocumented or documented would
be would be expensive and might break the bank. But
they're not giving up. They're going to continue to do
it as long as they can. To hell with all
the people who are paying the taxes, Let's just tax
(30:41):
people more. Let's just make sure that they we continue
to do everything we have to to steal from the
rich or the other people, because you're gonna run out
of rich people at some point, can't tax them anymore,
You're gonna have tax the rest of the people. I
don't know. That's the kind of stuff they're trying to
do across the country, and it is unsustainable and will
(31:02):
not work, and we will be broke, which we already
are pretty much. Anyways, this is Bonos Cars Rocky by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro, come on back. After the break.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
All right, welcome back, everybody, Thanks for joining us, bring
us in the air. Excuse me, so I meant to
mention this earlier, but how about that autopen scandal that's happening.
What you guys think that that young lady near a
Tandon who is the aid? It turns out that is
(32:15):
supposedly at the forefront of all of the pardons that
were signed by the Auto pen and a lot of
the other things that apparently were signed. If you remember,
there was a flurry, a big story about twenty five
hundred pardons right at the very last few days of
(32:36):
the Biden administration. Now it turns out that all of
those were signed by the Autopen and a number of
them apparently back in twenty twenty two, when there were
some pardons issued, were issued while Biden was on vacation
in the Caribbean. So it's becoming clear that did he know?
We always knew he was getting cognitively he was becoming
(33:01):
less cognitively functioning, right, We all knew there were things happening.
He was getting older, and it was starting to show.
Anybody that paid any attention, that didn't just listen to
the media, that watched with their own eyes, could tell
that there was something going on. So did he know
(33:22):
all of those partons got signed? Did he read through
every one of them? Did he know what he was
because the only person authorized to issue those Pardons is
the president of the United States. No other human being
is authorized to issue them. And did he even know?
Is it possible that he could have read twenty five
hundred of them? I don't believe so. But even if
(33:43):
he hadn't read them all, he was supposed to affix
his signature to it. Did he know that his signature
was being affixed to all of those? I'm pretty sure
he knew the ones with his son, right, I'm sure
he knew the ones with his family. But did he
know all of them? I don't know. And if you
one away, do you have to take them all away?
I don't know. Stay tuned because it's not going to
(34:04):
be It's not going to go away. We're going to
figure out what happened. There's just so much cover up
from everything that happened in the last four years prior
to Trump getting in there that they should be ashamed.
Everybody that was part of it should be ashamed. They're not.
They have no shame, but they should be. The other
thing I wanted to bring up real quick before I
get into what I'm going to talk about, is here,
(34:26):
you know, how about Chuck Schumer folding like a cheap chair?
The other day when it came to the budget negotiations.
These are the same Democrats it screamed about the government
shutting down, it's gonna hurt people, it's gonna hurteople, it's
gonna hurt people, blah blah blah blah blah every single
time they wanted to slam something through on their budget.
So they're trying to get this continuing Resolution done that's
going to fund the government for six more months, and
(34:48):
all the Democrats can do is scream about they want
to shut down the government. That goes back to that
hypocritical nature that they have, where it's only good when
you're doing it. If somebody else does it, it's the
wrong thing to do. But they were kind of caught.
He they didn't want to shut the government down because
that would have given Trump and Elon the right to
(35:08):
do whatever they wanted at that point pretty much when
it came to getting rid of things, and so they
were kind of caught. But hey, I can't not like
the winning. I enjoy the winning part of it. So
why is it that you think that everybody in the
(35:29):
world hates us? Is it? I mean, why do Europeans
look down their noses at us and you know those
country fried rubs over in America while taking our money
and being okay with us protecting them. You know, it's
(35:50):
kind of like that sad, pathetic son that feels like
they're entitled right but doesn't have any work ethic and
just lays around on the couch and wants to be
twenty five years old, thirty years old and wants to
know why mom hasn't made his sandwich yet, and why
she's not going out and getting the food, and why
dad doesn't put gas in his car, and all of
that cut them off, make them have to do it
(36:13):
themselves and make them tougher. I used to tell my
kids all the time when they wanted to we talk
about school, and I'm like, look, I will give you
every opportunity you need, tutors, I will pay for tutors.
You need help, I will give you help. I will
do anything I can to help you get good grades.
But I if you don't get good grades, just know
(36:35):
it's not going to impact my life. I'm still gonna
do what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be okay. You're
just not gonna have the life you want. Sometimes you
have to have tough love. Sometimes you have to tell
people the truth, which is you've got to take care
of yourself. We're not gonna always be here to do this.
We cannot continue to fund trillions of dollars in deficits
while you guys continue to have welfare states in your
(36:57):
own countries, and we run deficits and borrow money from
everywhere in the world to try to protect you. It
doesn't work that way anymore, I don't. I mean. And
by the way, in Sweden right now, people talk about, well,
let's we should do it like Europe they have free healthcare. No, no,
they have the right to free healthcare. They do not
(37:17):
have free healthcare. They have the right to free healthcare,
and that right only exists if you can find a
doctor and get on the list. But their healthcare is
nowhere near what ours is, even though because free never
usually is, you pay for what you get. But right
now in Sweden the unemployment rates ten percent. What do
(37:38):
you think we'd be if we had a ten percent
unemployment rate? Right now? In the US, the USA is
fifty percent richer than Europe, even though the European Union
has one hundred million more people than we do. We
have fifty percent richer. Why do you think that is?
It's it's for the exact same reason and the very
(37:59):
same policies that a bunch of Americans want a copy,
Like higher taxes on the ridge. We talked about that
a few minutes ago. But what happens when you run
out of the ridge, Oh, then you tax the almost ridge.
Then you run out of them, then you start to
tax the other people who aren't even close to being rich,
(38:20):
and you have to tax them more. It it doesn't
make sense to me, and it certainly doesn't make sense
to me that the people, you know, Europe has not
created it. One of the reasons they're unemployment, I want
to let me say a different way. One of the
reasons their unemployment is so high, and it's fifty percent
(38:41):
higher than that in the US, is because of all
of the over regulations, all of the over burdened business regulations.
You know, here you can slap a sign on the
side of your truck and say Joe the plumber and
you've got a small business with minor exceptions. You gotta
have to go get some licensing and stuff like that.
(39:03):
But the reality is you can be a small you
can go cut grass without a light. You have to
have a business license. You don't have to have a
license to learn to cut grass. So because of all
of that regulation, all of the other over regulations, Europe
doesn't have a single company right now in the top
twenty in the world. Not one. I said the other
day that home Depot is bigger than every other company
(39:28):
that has started in Europe in the last fifty years.
Home Depot, it's a pretty big company, but it's not
even close to huge when it comes to the size
of companies on the Fortune five hundred right now, right
a lot of the companies in fortunes five hundred. So
why is it that nothing has come out of Europe
over the last fifty years, and yet they still have
(39:50):
the audacity to try to lecture us on what we
should be doing and talk about how capitalism is not
the greatest economic system out there. Well, how did we
get to where we are? How did we get to
the fact that Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States,
(40:11):
is only eighteen hundred dollars in GDP, below every other
country or below Germany, and above almost every other country
in the European Union. Though the poorest state in the
United States is richer than almost every other country in
the European Union, with the exception of Germany. And it's
(40:32):
only eighteen hundred dollars in GDP behind Germany. And yet
you still believe in all of your socialist policies, you
don't have the money to fight a war for I
don't know, two weeks, three weeks you were only taking
care of because we continued to do so. And yet
you still have the audacity to look down your noses
(40:55):
on us and act like there's something wrong with us.
You laughed at Trup when he said that if you
don't do something now, you're going to be dependent on
Russian oil. The German economy right now is absolutely in shambles.
It has Let's see if I can find this statistic. Yeah,
(41:18):
in the last five years, industrial production in Germany has
fallen by thirteen point four percent, more than in any
other major economy in the world. In the energy intensive sector,
by the way, the decline was eighteen point two percent.
Germany's business model is collapsing from the ground up. Economic
strength was based on Russian gas. Let's say it was
(41:40):
based on Russian gas. The constantly growing demand from China
and the influx of workers from Central and European. You
the Eastern Europe, but that's no more. Now you try
to cut yourself off of the Russian oil, and what's happening.
It's creating a massive problem in your economy, and so
you end up going back to get more Russian oil,
(42:01):
which funds the war that you're also funding from the
other side by trying to fund Ukraine. You tell me
how any of that makes any sense. And yet they
still feel like they have the right, I think, to
lecture us about how we should be doing things differently. Well,
(42:22):
if we all did it like you guys did it,
there'd be nothing left in a few short years, maybe
a generation. Maybe after a generation there'd be nothing left,
maybe two. But at some point there would be nothing left.
And one other thing before I go, I don't have
a lot of time. What is wrong with deporting all
(42:45):
of the people who hate our country that aren't citizens?
What is wrong with that? Why are they It is
not I'm going to start off with the same or
end with the same thing I started off with, which
is it is not a right to be able to
come to this country. It is a privilege if you
were born here that's different if you're a citizen, completely different. Otherwise,
(43:09):
it is a privilege for me to be able to
go to France. I considered it a privilege when they
allowed me in, but I'm not gonna go. I don't
expect them to let me in while I go over
there and rant about how much I hate it. And
by the way, one more thing. Everywhere I've traveled in
the world, and I've been lucky enough to go to
a lot of places, Americans by and large are the
(43:33):
most polite group, the most generous group. They tip better,
they are nicer to the people that they're visiting, and
it is we should be proud of that. We buy
and large, got a pretty good country here, greatest country
on Earth by far, but still got some problems. We
(43:54):
got some things to work out, but overall, still the
greatest country on Earth, with the greatest people on Earth. Anyways,
that's the end of the show. Don't forget the Easter
egg hunt Saturday before Easter, Blackman High School in Murphysboro, Tennessee.
This is Bonos Cars Ran It's about a lot of
other stuff brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro.
(44:14):
Come on back, next week,
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he is
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough. For all of your automotive needs,
call six one five six four five one zero seven
five or online Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysboro dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, good morning, everybody, happy, Uh, whatever day it
is you're happening to listen to the show, sincerely appreciate
you guys all tuning in it. Uh. We're moving quickly
and rapidly into the uh springtime, and I couldn't be
more excited. I like it when it warms up and
cold hurts right starts. UH frostpot on your ears and
(00:57):
your hands hurt. He can be aggravating, but the cold hurts.
Before I get too far into the show, I want
to remind everybody that Easter is around the corner and
we will be having our the Chevrolet Buy GMC of
Murphysboro Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Blackman High School Saturday,
(01:18):
the Saturday before Easter, starting promptly at ten o'clock. And
I had some people ladies mad at me last year
because we started at ten and by about ten fifteen
it was over, and they got there late and wanted
to know if we had any extra eggs for their kids.
And I'm like, look, I'm sorry, but we start at
ten o'clock. Everybody else was here at ten. We can't
(01:40):
just wait and accommodate everybody. I mean, we take a
lot of time putting this thing together, and it's many
thousands of dollars for me to do it, and it's
not fair to everybody else to have to sit around
and wait and wonder when somebody's going to show up.
They started a whole Facebook group on me and stuff.
I mean, it was bad because I started on time
(02:01):
and they were late. Teaching your kids? Really how that works? Right,
Let's yell at the people who did it the right
way because we were wrong, but we're mad at them
for doing it the right way. Anyways, I digress the
I think our name was Karen too, if I remember correctly,
I think Karen Something. Don't hold me to that, but
I'm pretty sure it was Karen Something. Anyways, please join
(02:25):
us for the Easter egg hunt and be more than
happy to have as many people as we can there
we have. I think we ordered thirty or thirty five
thousand eggs this year, so it should be enough for everybody.
So I got a I haven't done this in a while,
and I was thinking about it the other day that
I used to do the how hypocritical can you be?
And it struck me the other day that when I
(02:49):
start reading all these reports of everybody on the left
trying to not only interfere with Trump and what he's
trying to do, but they are literally taking the side
of the criminals and trying to make them okay when
we're deporting them. Right, So that wasn't the hypocritical part,
(03:11):
but they're literally taking that side. And so I started thinking,
how is it that you can support abortion but not
the death penalty? Right? You support abortion up to the
ninth month, but you don't support the death penalty. I'm
trying to rectify that in my own brain. How it's
(03:32):
okay a nine month or a nine month baby up
until the moment of birth, apparently some of them were
pushing for, but not a criminal that has committed a
heinous crime. I just don't understand that but hey, I
don't understand a lot of the way people think. You know,
the other thing that drove me nuts. The other that
(03:54):
I don't know if you guys saw this story, but
the media was trying to make a story out of
and it was either Politico, the Bulwark, or one of
those places tried to make a story with the headline
that said Trump offers his bed to a congresswoman as
long as she doesn't tell his wife. Now that was
(04:15):
the headline, or very very very close, I maybe paraphrasing slightly.
Here was the true story. He did. He offered a
bed to a congresswoman. Her name was Anna Pauline A Luna.
She's a congresswoman from Florida. She was nine months pregnant
and was getting boarding Air Force One with her husband,
and he offered her the bedroom to go lay down
(04:37):
if she needed to, because she was nine months pregnant
and he was trying to make things comfortable for and
he offered it to her right in front of her husband.
There was nothing nefarious about it, nothing wrong about it,
nothing anything about it, and yet the media turns it
into this sex scandal when that was so far from
(04:59):
the truth that anybody with any brains could see that.
What is it with Trump derangement syndrome that you literally,
I've said this many times before, you literally have to
make stuff up. That man has been the most scrutinized
business person, politician, human being in the world up to
and including his family for the last twelve years, ten
(05:24):
years something in there, and they have yet to still
find anything truly that he's done wrong. I hear the
thirty seven convictions. Nope, I'm telling you, if you got
half a brain, you know that's bogus. The sexual assault
claim that some lady made from nineteen ninety eight or
(05:45):
ninety six, and she couldn't remember the exact date, She
just knew it was in the middle of the day
in Bergdorf, Goodman in broad daylight. And she never told
a single soul until twenty seven years later or thirty
years later. But hey, we're supposed to believe her right.
Just absolutely astounding to me. Speaking of which being under scrutiny,
(06:06):
it turns out that there's another another Biden out there
that might have a little bit of trouble with the irs. Apparently,
Ashley Biden is now in a little bit of trouble.
Let me see if I can find it here. A
little bit of trouble with the irs. She didn't pay
her taxes on a two hundred and fifty thousand or
(06:27):
forgot about a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars donation
that apparently came in to something she was running here there,
let's see, yeah, to the art it came in And
by the way, it was a two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars donation that came from Harry and Meghan Marko
and Harry Prince. Harry, they donated two hundred and fifty
(06:51):
thousand dollars grant to the Women's Wellness Space. And here's
the funny part. The numbers don't add up because reading
from an article here, the Women's Wellness Space reported total
receipts of just one hundred and seventy two hundred ninety
six dollars twenty twenty three. So how do you miss
a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars donation when you've
only taken in one hundred and seventy thousand dollars other
(07:12):
than that in the entire place. Every time you turn around,
there seems to be another scandal involving the Bidens, and
I I'm going to talk about one of them here
coming up after the break. But it is just absolute
lunacy the things they keep trying to hang on Trump
while completely ignoring all of the actual real stories out there.
(07:35):
All right, don't forget. We got a dast egg hunt
coming up Saturday, the before Easter. I can't remember what
day it is. I'll try to remember here in a minute,
but I hope everybody joins us. This is Bono's Cars,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro. We
are located on Interstate twenty four, Exit seventy six, coming
(07:55):
down to see us.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he is
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough. For all of your automotive
needs call six one five six four five one zero
seven five or online Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysboro dot com.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
All right, welcome back everybody. I uh I appreciate you
guys tuning in. So this past week we UH found
out that the ceasefire and the Hamas Israeli war had
ended because amasque just. I know this is going to
(09:06):
be hard to believe. Most people won't truly understand this.
But Hamas renigged on most of the things they had
promised during the ceasefire, like delivering the hostages back, doing
all of the things they were supposed to do. They
renegged on that, and so Israel unleashed on them. And
at some point you have to get to the fo
(09:29):
part of FAFO right, and you have to figure out
what there has to be some consequence. If you know
I've told this story before, I'm gonna tell it real quick.
I was six years old, five years old. My mom
and dad had gotten divorced, and UH. I was living
with my mom and she was very She wasn't big
(09:51):
on punishment, she wasn't big on discipline, and I figured
that out of the age of five years old, and
by the age of seven, I had to go live
with my dad. But the UH at the age of five,
I remember I was at a nursery school or one
of those after school programs at my sister and I
went to and we were there and it was a
Friday afternoon and it was late. My mom was picking
(10:11):
us up and she was a single mom, and I
saw her over there talking to one of the aides
and she got done talking. I apparently had been acting
up that day, and she comes over and she says
to me, you know what you're gonna get when you
get home, young man. And at five years old, this
isn't right. And I'm not advocating for this, but I
(10:32):
looked at her and said, yeah, nothing, because I knew
at five years old that I could get away with
whatever I wanted because she didn't punish me. She didn't
She didn't follow through on the punishment part of the threats,
and I knew that, and so you know, I was
going down the wrong path. Ended up having to live
with my dad, and he straightened me out because he
(10:53):
didn't threaten. He just did. And I guess that's what
I'm trying to relate back to this hamasis. At some point,
you got to get to the to the point where
we've told you enough, we've threatened you enough. If we
don't follow through on the threats in some way, shape
or form or fashion, then we're weak and we appear weak,
(11:15):
and they will continue to take advantage of us. There
are bad people in this world who will take advantage
of our kindness and our weakness if that kindness is
perceived to be weakness. So I'm I'm all for unleashing
Holy hell on them until it until we can figure
(11:37):
out how to how to make them commit to doing
the right thing, being not disgusting human beings that are
willing to use human beings and babies as shields, which
which brings me to the next thing. And I don't understand.
I do understand the support for Ukraine. I do. I
(11:58):
understand it. I understand the need to push Putin back.
I understand the need to not let him just take
over another sovereign country. What is the endgame? I guess
that's the point that Trump keeps trying to make tell
me what the endgame is. Because he's got more people,
(12:20):
he's got more weapons. We either have to commit to
putting boots on the ground, which I am one hundred
percent against. It's not our war, or we have to
find a solution. He's bigger, he's stronger. He's going to
continue to pummel those other that smaller opponent unless we
find a way to get him to the table and say, hey,
(12:40):
will you please stop beating him up? And I don't
know what the end result is, but if everybody thinks
that the result's going to be that somehow Ukraine has
enough soldiers, enough people to continue in this meet, grounder,
there's been a million and a half young men and
women and civilians dead on both sides, and Putin doesn't care.
(13:06):
He doesn't care that he's got another five hundred thousand conscripts,
that he's taken people out of prisons, he's thrown them
on the front line. He's taken people from North Korea
that had no dog in that fight whatsoever other than
they were starving, and so hey, maybe if I go
over here and fight, somebody will feed me. They're just
chewing through human beings like they didn't matter, and to Putin,
(13:28):
they don't. He's got one end goal. He is an evil,
rotten human being that is bigger, batter and has more
firepower than Ukraine does. So how do we get him
to stop? Somebody on the left that doesn't just say,
keep giving all the weapons to Ukraine, Keep giving all
(13:48):
the weapons to Ukraine, Keep giving all the weapons of Ukraine.
Tell me how you make him stop, and if somebody
can come up with a solution other than hey, we
got to get him to the table. Otherwise he's just
going to keep doing that. I'm open. But what I
can tell you is for three and a half years,
the current policy hasn't worked, and all of the families
(14:09):
of those million and a half people that have died
have had to suffer because we can't get some sort
of agreement together. Do I agree with appeasing Putin and
giving him all the land that he's currently taken over. Nope,
I don't. But what's the alternative other than we put
more of our people on the ground. Ukraine's running out
(14:30):
of people. I don't know. I don't know what the
answer is. What I know is that you can't continue
to do it the way it's been going and expect
that all of a sudden we're going to be able
to or Ukraine is going to be able to somehow
defeat Putin. And why did nobody ever criticize the policy
(14:52):
of the Biden administration that forbid any US made weapons
from being fired upon in any fashion, in a especially
an offensive fashion, into Russia. You're either in it to
win it, or you're not one of the two, but
this meat grinder where we just keep sending human beings,
(15:14):
young men, possibly young women. I don't know what about
the Russian army and the Ukrainian army and whether they
allow females in or not, but innocent civilians continue to
get killed for what. I'm with the President on this one.
You tell me a better solution, because the three and
a half years we've been going through, the solution that
(15:36):
has been just give them more money and more weapons.
That's not working. It just I don't know. I don't
know what the end result is. I know that it
absolutely sucks for all of those human beings that are
having to deal with that, all of them. Oh. On
another note, the I don't know if you guys saw
(15:59):
this or not, but Fannie or Fannie Willis, I don't
remember how you I don't I really truly don't know
how to pronounce it. I've heard it pronounce both ways.
Who was the attorney general or assistant district attorneys who
was something in Georgia that was trying to get Trump
on campaign thinks she's the one that finally got a
(16:22):
mugshot of him that probably helped him win somewhat helped
win the the election, but she was hit by a
judge with a fifty four thousand dollars fine for the
mishandling of the documents in that case related to her paramore.
Mister was that guy's name. I can't remember the guy's
(16:44):
name that she was having the affair with, but yeah,
she got hit with a fifty four thousand dollars fine.
So she got to a little bit of that fo
stage of the FAFO, right. She decided to try to
just do whatever she wanted to do and wasn't able
to get that well, found a judge that wasn't willing
(17:07):
to let her do just anything she wanted to do.
And then there was the other. I found another article
this week that there was a IG report from Michael
Horowitz about the j six episode that happened. Turns out
that Michael Horowitz said in his IG report that there
(17:32):
were twenty six FBI assets that attended the January sixth riot.
They were confidential human sources that were paid by IT
that a paid FBI informants. The report also stated that
there were three officially that only three were officially tasched
to be at the Capitol that day and three informants
(17:52):
broke the law and went inside. But the more we
find out, the more and by the way, they were like,
I don't know two thousand or something interviews that they
did with people about j six, But Christopher Ray, who
was the acting FBI director, was not one of the interviews.
(18:15):
How how how did he get out of not being
interviewed and put under oath and ask questions about what
the role of the FBI was and how is it
We still haven't found the pipe bomber. We found all
of these people through the technology, but the pipe bomber
that supposedly put a bomb down there was the only
one whose data was corrupted on their cell phone. We
(18:35):
found everybody else except this one human being. Something just
doesn't add up right when it when when the logic
doesn't seem to be logical, it seems like it's a
made up story. It seems like you're trying to hide something.
It's kind of like the Jeffrey epscene. Stuff just doesn't
seem to add up. Anyways, I got other stuff to
(18:56):
talk about when we come back. This is Bono's Cars,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro. Come
on back. After the break.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
All right, welcome back everybody. So the other day I
saw an article about a Brown University he's here on
an H one B visa and was apparently a kidney
transplant specialist at Brown University that happened to she got detained,
(20:12):
and the media was all up in arms because we
had a kidney transplant universe specialist from Brown University, educated
at Brown that happened to go back home to visit
some friends. Was the narrative on MSN on the mainstream media. Uh.
But when she got tried to get back into the
(20:34):
United States, she got detained and then got deported back
to the country, and they were all up in arms.
What they failed to say about the part of the
story that was the truest part was she when she
went home to quote unquote visit relatives. She went to
the funeral of the Hesbella leader that had just been
(20:56):
killed by airstrikes and said that she did told him
that's where she went. When you have somebody that is
supporting a known terrorist that is out for blood for America,
I don't care. Look, being allowed into this country is
not a right, it is a privilege. You are privileged
(21:18):
to get a visa. Just like Mackmood Khalil, the guy
that was creating all that those problems at Columbia that
shut down university buildings, held up protests, tortured or terrified
Jewish students throughout the entire campus. It's like Marco Rubio
said about that man. You know, when you get a visa,
(21:38):
we have the right to reject that visa application for
any reason whatsoever, because it's a privilege to get a
visa to come into the United States. And if during
your visa interview you said I plan on coming in
there and terrorizing a bunch of Jewish students and shutting
down federally funded government buildings, schools that are have some
(22:01):
federal funds attached to it, hundreds of millions of dollars,
and I plan on disrupting the education system in those
schools and trying to advocate for hamas and terrorist organizations.
If you said that during your interview process, your visa
would be denied, and it would it should be a
good reason for anyone to deny that person of visa.
(22:24):
You're telling us you're coming in here to disrupt our
system and our way of life, and that's not acceptable.
You want to do that in the other country, have
at it, go ahead, just not here. And so same
thing with this Brown University lady. Yeah, if you told
us you were going to support HESBLA and terrorists that
were trying to kill as many Americans and have some
(22:48):
sort of intefada against Americans across the world, which should
we just let everybody in, no matter how much harm
they plan to do to our country. That makes no
sense to me, and it shouldn't make sense to anybody
that doesn't just hate this country, and that why are
we supposed to allow people who hate the country to
(23:08):
get in? Speaking of Brown though Brown is also you know,
you got these Ivy League institutions that at some point
are going to lose their luster there's no way you
can continue the practices that these universities continue to practice
while taking federal funds. By the way, still irritated about that,
Why are we giving Harvard a penny when they're sitting
(23:30):
on a fifty billion dollar endowment, making five billion dollars
a year just on the interest on or investment aspect
of it, and only paying one and a half percent
interest on their capital investments while the rest of it
are not interest but taxes, while the rest of us
have to pay a much higher capital gains tax and
don't have near that kind of money. Why are these
universities getting away with all this while we still give
(23:52):
them more money, and then they take that money and
charge an exorbitant The average fee charged to a private
grant for administrative costs by the universities as fifteen percent.
The average fee charged to the government when the government
gives them a grant is fifty to sixty percent. How
(24:12):
is that fair? They're just ripping us off, and they
don't care, and they're laughing at us while they do it.
But Brown has decided that this should scare the Bejesus
out of all of you. Brown has decided now that
DEI should carry more weight than excellent clinical skills. So
there was a tweet I saw the other day that
(24:35):
said Brown University now gives diversity equity and inclusion more
weight than excellent clinical skills and its promotion for criteria
for faculty. The criteria, say DEI is a major criterion.
So here's what it says. Major criterion demons demonstrated commitment
to diversity, equity and inclusion. Number one effort toward advancing diversity,
(24:57):
equity and inclusion in at least one area for which
candidate is evaluated research, teaching, clinical service, or clinical care
and service. The minor criterion is excellent clinical skills, evaluation
by peers or supervisor, and evaluation by students and residents.
So let me make sure I understand this in your
medical school. In order to promote faculty, excellent clinical skills
(25:20):
for a doctor fall beneath DEI for your ability to
get promoted within the university. And you think that's okay,
When did it? Why did it become such a horrendous
practice that the best person for the job gets the job.
(25:41):
I've said this many many times. My general manager, Bubba Roufner,
is one of the best I've ever seen at his job,
and I mean that sincerely, And he got there one
hundred percent based on the fact that he outworked everybody else,
was better than everybody else had it, And Bubb's black
(26:05):
had nothing to do with his color. When I was
trying to promote him, I was promoted him because he
just did a better job than everybody else. I don't understand,
especially when it comes to medicine, why we're getting away
from the need for the very best person to have
(26:25):
the job. But hey, I also don't understand a lot
of things that people on one side of the aislell do.
For instance, I don't know if you guys caught this recently,
but you know, Gavin Newsom, Governor Harrigel they call him,
is apparently launched a podcast and he's getting ready. He's
(26:46):
winding up to try to run for twenty twenty eight
and who knows, maybe that's the best they've got out there.
But let me just tell you how stupid a lot
of the policies. First of all, if you're paying any
attention whatsoever to California, you know that they are in
a heap of trouble between all of their automobile mandates,
and they're chasing their tail when it comes to DEI,
(27:07):
chasing their tail when it comes to climate change, chasing
their tail when it comes to trying to be at
the forefront of all of these socialist programs. And have
done a good job but at being at the forefront
of all of them, but it seems to be not
financially and fiscally responsible. Let me give you an example.
(27:28):
In twenty fifteen, Governor Jerry Brown, who was governor before Newsom,
signed a bill that allowed let's see, that allowed undocumented
children to join medical which is their version of Medicaid
for the state or Medicare. Then in twenty nineteen, Gavin
(27:48):
Newsom signed a law that expanded that to that full
scope of medical across or access for young adults nineteen
through twenty five, right regardless of citizenship or immigration status.
So first it was just undocumented children under the age
of eighteen could join. Then it was regardless of citizenship
or immigration status, everybody between the ages of nineteen and
(28:10):
twenty five could join medical free insurance for everybody. Then
they had another expansion of the system that took a
place in January of twenty twenty four that allowed for
an approximately seven hundred thousand other undocumented residents between twenty
six and forty nine to be eligible for full coverage. Now,
I don't know who pays for that, but I'm pretty
(28:32):
sure it's not the people who are eligible for the
free stuff. They're not paying for their free stuff. It's
everybody else. So when California at the time, there was
a senator or name was Atlanta Drazzo that said, this
historic investment speaks to California's commitment to health care as
a human right. I don't know when healthcare became a
(28:53):
human right. I don't really understand that. In order for
health care to be a human right, that means you
have to be able to tell that person who studied
for eight years and did all of their internship and
was smarter than other people to be able to go
be a doctor. You, sir, you madam, have to give
all of your talents away to these people over here
(29:14):
for free because healthcare is a human right. Makes no sense.
But here's the deal, So California. I'm just going to
read it real quick from the article here. California became
the first state in the nation to offer healthcare to
an all income eligible to all income eligible immigrants one
year ago, which gave Gavin Newsom another liberal achievement to
(29:36):
talent when louding the Golden State as a national trail blazer.
But the nine and a half billion dollar price tag
of California's program is already more than three billion dollars
above the budget estimate from last summer and is expected
to grow higher. In February, the newsomme administration toll lawmakers
at a budget hearing at the state capitol that the
(29:57):
cost of expanding coverage to all immigrants was coming in
much higher than anticipated, with higher than anticipated enrollment and
higher pharmacy costs. So the best estimate last summer turned
out to be that it was short three billion dollars,
and now the Department of Finance is in California is
asking for a three point four billion dollar loan from
(30:19):
the general Fund to cover the shortfall. Who would have
thought that expanding healthcare to anybody undocumented or documented would
be would be expensive and might break the bank. But
they're not giving up. They're going to continue to do
it as long as they can. To hell with all
the people who are paying the taxes, Let's just tax
(30:41):
people more. Let's just make sure that they we continue
to do everything we have to to steal from the
rich or the other people, because you're gonna run out
of rich people at some point, can't tax them anymore,
You're gonna have tax the rest of the people. I
don't know. That's the kind of stuff they're trying to
do across the country, and it is unsustainable and will
(31:02):
not work, and we will be broke, which we already
are pretty much. Anyways, this is Bonos Cars Rocky by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphysboro, come on back. After the break.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
All right, welcome back, everybody, Thanks for joining us, bring
us in the air. Excuse me, so I meant to
mention this earlier, but how about that autopen scandal that's happening.
What you guys think that that young lady near a
Tandon who is the aid? It turns out that is
(32:15):
supposedly at the forefront of all of the pardons that
were signed by the Auto pen and a lot of
the other things that apparently were signed. If you remember,
there was a flurry, a big story about twenty five
hundred pardons right at the very last few days of
(32:36):
the Biden administration. Now it turns out that all of
those were signed by the Autopen and a number of
them apparently back in twenty twenty two, when there were
some pardons issued, were issued while Biden was on vacation
in the Caribbean. So it's becoming clear that did he know?
We always knew he was getting cognitively he was becoming
(33:01):
less cognitively functioning, right, We all knew there were things happening.
He was getting older, and it was starting to show.
Anybody that paid any attention, that didn't just listen to
the media, that watched with their own eyes, could tell
that there was something going on. So did he know
(33:22):
all of those partons got signed? Did he read through
every one of them? Did he know what he was
because the only person authorized to issue those Pardons is
the president of the United States. No other human being
is authorized to issue them. And did he even know?
Is it possible that he could have read twenty five
hundred of them? I don't believe so. But even if
(33:43):
he hadn't read them all, he was supposed to affix
his signature to it. Did he know that his signature
was being affixed to all of those? I'm pretty sure
he knew the ones with his son, right, I'm sure
he knew the ones with his family. But did he
know all of them? I don't know. And if you
one away, do you have to take them all away?
I don't know. Stay tuned because it's not going to
(34:04):
be It's not going to go away. We're going to
figure out what happened. There's just so much cover up
from everything that happened in the last four years prior
to Trump getting in there that they should be ashamed.
Everybody that was part of it should be ashamed. They're not.
They have no shame, but they should be. The other
thing I wanted to bring up real quick before I
get into what I'm going to talk about, is here,
(34:26):
you know, how about Chuck Schumer folding like a cheap chair?
The other day when it came to the budget negotiations.
These are the same Democrats it screamed about the government
shutting down, it's gonna hurt people, it's gonna hurteople, it's
gonna hurt people, blah blah blah blah blah every single
time they wanted to slam something through on their budget.
So they're trying to get this continuing Resolution done that's
going to fund the government for six more months, and
(34:48):
all the Democrats can do is scream about they want
to shut down the government. That goes back to that
hypocritical nature that they have, where it's only good when
you're doing it. If somebody else does it, it's the
wrong thing to do. But they were kind of caught.
He they didn't want to shut the government down because
that would have given Trump and Elon the right to
(35:08):
do whatever they wanted at that point pretty much when
it came to getting rid of things, and so they
were kind of caught. But hey, I can't not like
the winning. I enjoy the winning part of it. So
why is it that you think that everybody in the
(35:29):
world hates us? Is it? I mean, why do Europeans
look down their noses at us and you know those
country fried rubs over in America while taking our money
and being okay with us protecting them. You know, it's
(35:50):
kind of like that sad, pathetic son that feels like
they're entitled right but doesn't have any work ethic and
just lays around on the couch and wants to be
twenty five years old, thirty years old and wants to
know why mom hasn't made his sandwich yet, and why
she's not going out and getting the food, and why
dad doesn't put gas in his car, and all of
that cut them off, make them have to do it
(36:13):
themselves and make them tougher. I used to tell my
kids all the time when they wanted to we talk
about school, and I'm like, look, I will give you
every opportunity you need, tutors, I will pay for tutors.
You need help, I will give you help. I will
do anything I can to help you get good grades.
But I if you don't get good grades, just know
(36:35):
it's not going to impact my life. I'm still gonna
do what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be okay. You're
just not gonna have the life you want. Sometimes you
have to have tough love. Sometimes you have to tell
people the truth, which is you've got to take care
of yourself. We're not gonna always be here to do this.
We cannot continue to fund trillions of dollars in deficits
while you guys continue to have welfare states in your
(36:57):
own countries, and we run deficits and borrow money from
everywhere in the world to try to protect you. It
doesn't work that way anymore, I don't. I mean. And
by the way, in Sweden right now, people talk about, well,
let's we should do it like Europe they have free healthcare. No, no,
they have the right to free healthcare. They do not
(37:17):
have free healthcare. They have the right to free healthcare,
and that right only exists if you can find a
doctor and get on the list. But their healthcare is
nowhere near what ours is, even though because free never
usually is, you pay for what you get. But right
now in Sweden the unemployment rates ten percent. What do
(37:38):
you think we'd be if we had a ten percent
unemployment rate? Right now? In the US, the USA is
fifty percent richer than Europe, even though the European Union
has one hundred million more people than we do. We
have fifty percent richer. Why do you think that is?
It's it's for the exact same reason and the very
(37:59):
same policies that a bunch of Americans want a copy,
Like higher taxes on the ridge. We talked about that
a few minutes ago. But what happens when you run
out of the ridge, Oh, then you tax the almost ridge.
Then you run out of them, then you start to
tax the other people who aren't even close to being rich,
(38:20):
and you have to tax them more. It it doesn't
make sense to me, and it certainly doesn't make sense
to me that the people, you know, Europe has not
created it. One of the reasons they're unemployment, I want
to let me say a different way. One of the
reasons their unemployment is so high, and it's fifty percent
(38:41):
higher than that in the US, is because of all
of the over regulations, all of the over burdened business regulations.
You know, here you can slap a sign on the
side of your truck and say Joe the plumber and
you've got a small business with minor exceptions. You gotta
have to go get some licensing and stuff like that.
(39:03):
But the reality is you can be a small you
can go cut grass without a light. You have to
have a business license. You don't have to have a
license to learn to cut grass. So because of all
of that regulation, all of the other over regulations, Europe
doesn't have a single company right now in the top
twenty in the world. Not one. I said the other
day that home Depot is bigger than every other company
(39:28):
that has started in Europe in the last fifty years.
Home Depot, it's a pretty big company, but it's not
even close to huge when it comes to the size
of companies on the Fortune five hundred right now, right
a lot of the companies in fortunes five hundred. So
why is it that nothing has come out of Europe
over the last fifty years, and yet they still have
(39:50):
the audacity to try to lecture us on what we
should be doing and talk about how capitalism is not
the greatest economic system out there. Well, how did we
get to where we are? How did we get to
the fact that Mississippi, the poorest state in the United States,
(40:11):
is only eighteen hundred dollars in GDP, below every other
country or below Germany, and above almost every other country
in the European Union. Though the poorest state in the
United States is richer than almost every other country in
the European Union, with the exception of Germany. And it's
(40:32):
only eighteen hundred dollars in GDP behind Germany. And yet
you still believe in all of your socialist policies, you
don't have the money to fight a war for I
don't know, two weeks, three weeks you were only taking
care of because we continued to do so. And yet
you still have the audacity to look down your noses
(40:55):
on us and act like there's something wrong with us.
You laughed at Trup when he said that if you
don't do something now, you're going to be dependent on
Russian oil. The German economy right now is absolutely in shambles.
It has Let's see if I can find this statistic. Yeah,
(41:18):
in the last five years, industrial production in Germany has
fallen by thirteen point four percent, more than in any
other major economy in the world. In the energy intensive sector,
by the way, the decline was eighteen point two percent.
Germany's business model is collapsing from the ground up. Economic
strength was based on Russian gas. Let's say it was
(41:40):
based on Russian gas. The constantly growing demand from China
and the influx of workers from Central and European. You
the Eastern Europe, but that's no more. Now you try
to cut yourself off of the Russian oil, and what's happening.
It's creating a massive problem in your economy, and so
you end up going back to get more Russian oil,
(42:01):
which funds the war that you're also funding from the
other side by trying to fund Ukraine. You tell me
how any of that makes any sense. And yet they
still feel like they have the right, I think, to
lecture us about how we should be doing things differently. Well,
(42:22):
if we all did it like you guys did it,
there'd be nothing left in a few short years, maybe
a generation. Maybe after a generation there'd be nothing left,
maybe two. But at some point there would be nothing left.
And one other thing before I go, I don't have
a lot of time. What is wrong with deporting all
(42:45):
of the people who hate our country that aren't citizens?
What is wrong with that? Why are they It is
not I'm going to start off with the same or
end with the same thing I started off with, which
is it is not a right to be able to
come to this country. It is a privilege if you
were born here that's different if you're a citizen, completely different. Otherwise,
(43:09):
it is a privilege for me to be able to
go to France. I considered it a privilege when they
allowed me in, but I'm not gonna go. I don't
expect them to let me in while I go over
there and rant about how much I hate it. And
by the way, one more thing. Everywhere I've traveled in
the world, and I've been lucky enough to go to
a lot of places, Americans by and large are the
(43:33):
most polite group, the most generous group. They tip better,
they are nicer to the people that they're visiting, and
it is we should be proud of that. We buy
and large, got a pretty good country here, greatest country
on Earth by far, but still got some problems. We
(43:54):
got some things to work out, but overall, still the
greatest country on Earth, with the greatest people on Earth. Anyways,
