Speaker 2 (00:35):
Here's your host, bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
All right, good morning, everybody. Welcome to another edition of
bowt Likes Durant About Stuff.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
It's beautiful, beautiful week here in Middle Tennessee, like always
greatest country on Earth, one of the greatest parts of
the greatest country on Earth, right here in Middle Tennessee.
And I couldn't be prouder of being both an American
and from Tennessee. At this point, I am extremely excited
about it. And if you're catching the show on Saturday morning,

(01:12):
Happy early Easter. We're looking forward to our Easter egg
hunt this morning. By the time you guys hear this, it.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Will probably be over. But Happy Easter to everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
And remember what the season's all about, right, It's.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
An important one.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
So all right, I'm having trouble understanding well, let me
before I Before I get to that, I wanted to
also say I had the opportunity last week to do
something that has been a bucket list of mine since
I was ten years old, and I was extremely happy
to be able to do it. But I got some

(01:51):
tickets to the Masters, and my wife and I were
able to go over to Augusta, Georgia. And man, if
you ever get an opportun tunity to go to the Masters,
you have to take it.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Obviously.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
It is if you're a golf fan, even if you're
not a golf fan. While my wife is not really
a golf fan, she's, uh, you know, she'll put up
with it if I'm watching a tournament or something. But
even she was amazed at the beauty and the incredible
display of professionalism. I mean that that place is just incredible.

(02:26):
But what TV doesn't do justice for the course. You know,
I've seen it sixty years old. I've been watching since
I was ten years old, probably a little earlier than that,
and when they first started televising it, like sixty seventy
two in color, I think I started watching. But what
TV does not give you any perspective of is how
hilly that course is and how many shots those guys

(02:49):
are hitting that are just blind.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Shots and the display of golf.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Aside from the fact that congratulations to Roy McRoy man
that if you if you're a golf fan, you have
to be rooting for that kid because he has been
struggling at the Masters now for seventeen years.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Finally came true.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
And I didn't think he was gonna make it there
on that last putt, when he missed the four foot
putt to win the tournament on the first one, I
really thought it's over.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
He's not gonna make it.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
He's gonna lose to Justin Rose on the eighteenth hole
on the playoff, but he didn't. He stuck that last
shot in there, and congratulations to Rory.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
I am happy for that man, and I hope everything
works out for and the way he wants it to.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
So with that said, let me get back to what
I was saying, which is that I am really, really,
really confused. You know I've said this before, I keep
saying it. No matter how much you hate the media,
you don't hate them enough. You cannot possibly hate the
mainstream media enough for their lives, their twisted truths, the

(03:52):
things that they do the way that they I just
don't understand it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
I don't So the big deal going on right now
is about this.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Kilmar Abrago Garcia guy that is supposedly a family man
from Maryland who's married, and that's the image that they
keep trying to portray.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
I want to remind everybody he is still an El
Salvadoran citizen.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
He is a citizen of Al Salvador, not of the
United States. Yes, he's married to a citizen of the
United States, all right, so what he's.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Still here illegally.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
He was here in twenty nineteen when a judge ordered
him to be sent back. Now, he did order him
to be sent out of the country to someplace other
than El Salvador because he had connections in his gang affiliation. Apparently,
and I'm going by all the reports I've read, he
had gang affiliations that were going to cause him to

(04:51):
be possibly targeted if he was sent back to El Salvador.
So you can't say he's here, he's not allowed to
go to El Salvador because of gang affiliations, but then
also say he so he has to stay in the
United States, but also say he has no gang affiliations.
That doesn't make sense. You know who they're not talking about.

(05:12):
You know who you don't hear about. You don't hear
about that little girl Ariannafunz Diaz.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I think few know as Diaz who.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
Was fourteen years old and was hacked up and with
machetes and beaten with baseball batchs by members of MS thirteen.
These people have absolutely zero respect for human life. They
do it intentionally for the biggest shock factor possible in
order to control whoever they can control with that fear.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
But let me explain something to it. But this is
part about the media that I can't stand.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
I've heard many, many, many people in the media trying
to talk about and advocate for this gentleman.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
I say, gentlemen. I don't know whether he's a gentlemen or.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Not, but I've heard media advocate for him, and they're
the thing is, well, you know, he's a married father
and blah blah blah. You know who else was a
married father and apparently a really good one, really good father,
John Gottie.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know who else was?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
All of the heads of the mafia families that ordered
murders and tortures, and all of the other things that
those mafia people do in order to control by fear.
You cannot just because a man is married doesn't mean
he's not part of a gang. If just because a
man is married doesn't mean he's not committing crimes, It

(06:36):
doesn't have anything to do with that.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
One thing has nothing to do with the other.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
But why where was the outrage when that little girl
was hacked up by MS thirteen?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
You didn't.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
It's all over the news.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
One guy get sent to a prison in Al Salvador
who is an Al Salvadoran citizen, and the media goes
berserk and demands that he be returned because he's a
father in Merrily. Yeah, but what about all of the
other things I've heard.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
There's no connection. There's no connection. There's no connection. Here's
what I can tell you.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't believe for a second that the Trump administration
is just willy nilly going out And are they gonna
make mistakes, yes. Are there some vetting issues or maybe
some identity issues, yes, So I understand all of that.
But in this particular case, you're trying to make the
case that the man shouldn't have been sent back because
he's a father and married and all of that.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Get all your facts right.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
He's still a El Salvador and citizen and he was
still here illegally period into story.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Does he belong in prison? I don't know, don't have
a clue.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
But what I do know is he still had a
deportation order in twenty nineteen.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
So quit defending everything drives me nuts.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I just can't. I can't possibly tell you how much
I hate the media. All right, Well that's the end
of the first segment. This is Bownoscars Ranch about a
lot of other stuff, brought to you by Chevrolet Buick
GMC of Murphysboro.

really inside. This is bow Nooscars brought to you by

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Here's your host, Bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
All right, welcome back, everybody.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
Sincerely, appreciate you uh tuning in and listening to the
show at I'm proud of the fact that I have
quite a few listeners, and I don't know why you
guys listen to me, but I'm proud of the fact
that you do, and thank you from the bottom of
my heart, thank you for listening. So I don't know
if you guys follow it the way I do, but

(09:15):
I do a lot of reading every day. I probably
spend six seven eight hours a day reading in between
getting some work done and running my dealership and being
a husband. I just enjoy understanding what's happening to our country.
What I don't understand is how the elite institutions. If

(09:39):
you guys have listened to the show at all, you've
heard me talk about the forty five stated goals of communism.
One of those stated goals of communism was to gain
control of elite universities. What the communists know and the
communists now, while Russia is not and the Soviet Union
is not our geopolitical enemy the way it used to be,

(10:00):
and certainly not an ally at this point, but China
has taken that mantle on as being the communist society.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
That's trying to take over the world, and it's all
about power.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
They know that they don't have really a middle class
in China, it's starting to rise up. There's a billion
and a half people and there's only I think the
last number I saw there was only three or four
five million people that belonged to the Communist Chinese Party
or the CCP, and they got a billion and a
half people. If those people really rose up, they know
they had that. The government, the Communist Party knows they

(10:34):
would lose that battle in a heartbeat. It's why they
have to rule with an iron fist. They have no
choice but the CCP, and that has been infiltrating all
of our higher education universities for quite some time. And
there if you go look at how much money from

(10:56):
either Qatar or China or some of the Arab Emirate
countries are pouring into our elite universities, you have to
ask yourself, why, what is the end goal? Why does
China have to give billions of dollars to our universities
every year? You know what the answer is, if you've
got any common sense whatsoever. It's because they know that

(11:19):
if they can control the universities, they can get some
of the minds of the smartest people in the United
States that are going to the US universities and they
can brainwash them, and those are going to be in
theory the next set of leaders that are coming up
through the ranks. I mean, let's face it, I don't
know how many people in Congress have degrees from Ivy

(11:43):
League schools, but I would guarantee you there's a lot
of presidents that do, and a lot of people in
Congress that have Ivy League educations. So gain control of
those and you gain control of the young minds, and
you have more opportunity to brain that simple. And Trump
knows this, and so he is trying to do everything

(12:06):
he can to unwind that dynamic and say hey enough,
But Harvard is probably one of the worst.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
So there's been a there's a battle.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Of wills going on right now between the federal government
and Harvard. Harvard is has been on the forefront of
anti or not anti semitism, of well, yes, anti semitism,
and they have been. They are one of the universities
that has been divisive and put out rhetoric.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
And so the Trump administration said, look, you got to
get this under control. You can't have that.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Many Jewish students that are in fear of actually going
to school. They pay a lot of money for these educations,
and they can't even get to class without feeling like
they're going to be intimidated. So he says, look, you
want federal money, you're going to have to to abide
by some of these new rules. So Harvard basically says, no,

(13:00):
we're not doing it where we're not going to be
run by the federal government. So here's what I need
you to know. Harvard currently sits on a fifty two
billion dollar endowment, fifty two billion dollars at a normal

(13:21):
interest rate. If you just put that in dividend stocks,
you can make seven, eight, nine, ten percent on it.
So let's just use ten percent because that's an easy number.
That's five point two billion dollars a year in interest
that the Harvard endowment collects. And oh, by the way,
they get a tax break because those universities also only

(13:41):
pay one point nine percent or something like that, one
point six or one point nine.

Speaker 3 (13:45):
Percent on their income.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Where if you and I invest in the stock market
and do the same thing, we're going to pay either
short term capital gains or long term capital gains based
on or normal income. However it works for your particular situation.
But The reality is these guys get a tax break,
they get to make all this money, they have these endowments,
and yet they're still getting nine billion dollars in contracts

(14:10):
from the federal government, nine billion in long term contracts.
Why is it that a private university continues to think
that they can they can get federal government money from us.
By the way, that money from the federal government is
my money and your money.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
That is not Harvard's money.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
That's our tax dollars, and it's going to things I
don't support. Why if everybody had to go at the
end of every week and go down to the federal
government and write a check for thirty or forty percent
of their income twenty five thirty forty percent of their
income every week and say, hey, where are you going
to spend this this week? And they had to tell
you and they said, hey, we're going to give some

(14:54):
of this to Harvard. No, no, no, I don't want
my money going to Harvard. That's not the charity I
want to support. It's absolutely maddening to me that these
universities think that they can just do whatever they want.
You know what it is, It's that elitist coastal I'm
better than.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
You, You're nothing. I go to Havd.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Yeah, that attitude makes me want to throw up. I
can't stand that elitist, bougie attitude that you get from
a lot of these higher income or higher education universities.
It is some of the people that I know that
are the richest and kindest and most down to earth

(15:40):
people wouldn't come within miles of those universities, didn't get
the education that those places have, but they are hardworking,
intelligent and.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Just good people. So switching gears for a second.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
I don't know if you guys saw it, but the
speaking of El Salvador that I'm talking about the guy
in the Garcia, guy that got sent down to the
El Salvador in prison. So Trump got to meet this
week with naib I think I'm saying that right. Bu Kelly,
who is the new president of El Salvador, and this

(16:19):
guy is kind of like if you pay any attention
to the politics, the geopolitics in other countries, he's sort
of like that Milieu guy down in Argentina.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
He is.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
Straightforward, he's all about making sure that he's taking care
of his people, and he has absolutely done an incredible
job law and order. If you don't have law and order,
if you have a lawless society, you have fear and
it becomes haiti very quickly. But what this guy did,
and I'm going to read you the quote that he

(16:51):
said in the White House the other day because I
think it summed it up better than me trying to
just say it. So this was bou Kelly when he
was talking to the media the other day in the
White House. He said, we actually turned the murder capital
of the world. That's what the journalists call it, right,
murder capital of the world, into the safest country in
the Western hemisphere. Sometimes they say we imprison thousands. I

(17:13):
like to say that we actually liberated millions. And in fact,
mister president, he was talking to Trump. In fact, mister President,
you have three hundred and fifty million people to liberate.
But to liberate three hundred and fifty million people, you
have to imprison some. You know, that's the way it works, right.
You can't just free the criminals and think crime is
going to go down magically.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
You have to imprison them.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
So you can liberate three hundred and fifty million Americans
that are asking for the end of crime and the
end of terrorists, and I thought that is exactly the
way it's supposed to be said. That guy certainly understands
that in order to stop crime, if you don't want
criminals taking over the world, and that's what's happening, you

(17:53):
can't appease criminals.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
There are bad people out there. There's a kid that
got put in jail the other day.

Speaker 4 (17:58):
They caught him who murdered both of his parents in
order to make sure he could get enough money to
go murder the president of the United States and the
Vice president.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
That was his plan.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Seventeen year old kid murders both of his parents to
get the money to be able to go put together
a plot to murder the president and the vice president.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
That kid is irredeemable.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
The guy that threw the firebombs the molotov cocktails into
the Josh Shapiro's house in Pennsylvania, that guy's not helpable.
There are sick Those people that murdered that fourteen year
old little girl by hacking her up with machetes, they're
not helpable. You can't expect them to someday be okay.

(18:42):
They're criminals and they deserve exactly what they get, which
is the worst conditions possible. You keep trying to appease
criminals and they're going to keep criminally.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yes, I know that's not a word.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
But you can't continue to expect criminals to act like
normal human beings.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
They're not. Their brain is wired wrong. They have no respect.
All right, I can get right up about that for days.
Come on back after the break.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
This is Bono's Cars, brought you by Chevrolet Buick GMC

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Here's your host, Bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
All right, welcome back.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
Everybody got lots to rant about.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
I don't know, like running my mouth, I guess so.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
I don't know if you guys saw it, but over
the last few days there has been Cash Bettel, who
is the new FBI director and doing a hell of
a job I believe he is a great American. He
doesn't fall for all that crap. Look say what you
want about the FBI, and there are many many I

(20:47):
have a few friends that are in the FBI. I
know a couple of people whose parents worked for the
FBI for years. Good people, solid, good people, but not
all of them are. They can get they can get brainwashed,
they can be switched. When you look at Peter Strock

(21:09):
and his girlfriend talking about how they were going to
stop Trump for being elected back in twenty fifteen, texting
each other, that's not what the FBI is for.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
That is not their job.

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Their job is to fight crime in the United States,
not stop presidents from being elected, not mess with elections,
not try to put people in jail for no reason.
The days of j Edgar Hoover and keeping dossier's on
people so that he could use it against them. That's

(21:42):
not what the FBI is supposed to be. It's not
supposed to be this nefarious group of people. They're supposed
to be the g men, the ones that are fighting
crime for me and you. And when we can't trust that,
that's a problem. And the FBI leadership over the last
ten or fifteen years. I guarantee you they were driven

(22:04):
by politics. They were ideologues that had their own way
of thinking and thought that they're the elitists. Guaranteed, most
of them have Ivy League educations and so they think
they know better than me and you. They can have
the opportunity to do what they can do whatever they
want because they went to Harvard. No, that's not the

(22:26):
way it works, Champ. You still work for us. We
still pay your salary. But the problem is it's scary
because they have the power to screw with your life,
and if they decide to come after you, they can
do so and put you in the poorhouse forever. That's
what happened to Michael Flynn when they came after him
in twenty and sixteen or seventeen, right after Trump got

(22:48):
into office. He knew, they're going to break me because
they will assue me or keep running me through all
of these lawyers where I have to pay all these fees,
and they've got lawyers on staff that will do this
basically for their normal salary. You can't outlast the federal
government when it comes to those kind of things. They
will break you financially well cash Betel has decided to

(23:13):
release all of the documents seven hundred pages of previously
classified documents that for Crossfire Hurricane and Crossfire Hurricane was
the name of the I Guess the operation where they
were trying to find out if Trump had Russia collusion,

(23:34):
and so the document dump it included emails and messages,
interview summaries, and extensive notes about the famous or infamous
I Guess Steele dossier, right, that was the document that
was thoroughly debunked that attempted to detail Russia's alleged interference

(23:55):
in the twenty sixteen election. So he's released all of
those documents. I haven't had a chance to go through them,
but I promise you I will be reading a lot
of those seven hundred pages because I want to find
out what's in them, because we know that they were
breaking the law, they were doing things they shouldn't be doing,
and going after a duly elected president of the United States.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
It is absolutely.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
Astounding what these people did and how they got away
with it, absolutely astounding. And everybody in the United States
that is a normal, moral human being should be absolutely
terrified of an FBI that can do that to a man,
because they can do that to him, they can do

(24:40):
it to you, and nobody's safe and you don't want
to be on the other side of the FAFO. When
it comes to the FBI, it's not I'm excited about it.
Thank you Cash for releasing all of those documents. We
need them. We need to know what's going on. We
need to and but here's the thing, people need to

(25:01):
be held accountable. It doesn't do us any good if
we all go, Yep, they broke the law. Yep, they
did that. Yep, that was really bad. Yep they did this,
Yep they did that, and then nobody gets purp walked,
nobody gets in trouble. Everybody just goes about and does
their own thing and never changes anything. We can't. We
can't continue to do the same thing or we're going
to get the same results, which are thirty eight trillion

(25:23):
dollars in debt, hundreds of thousands, millions of people here illegally,
we can't pay our bills. Everything was going downhill and they're.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Trying to destroy America.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
But one of the other ways that they're going to
try to destroy America, and they have been doing it,
they've been very successful at it.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
And I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
I don't know what it is they hate about this country.
But even Trump said it the other day about CNN.
CNN had an issue a retractment the other day when
Trump was in the Oval office with Boukelly, he said,
you know, yeah, that's CNN over there. They hate America.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
They don't want to release good numbers.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
They hate the United States, and they had to release
a statement. Dana Bash came back out and said, just
to be clear, we do not hate the United States.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
Really, you have to defend that anyways.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
RFK, who is a staunch liberal, right, we know that.
But that's what Trump does. He puts people in place
that can do the best job, irrespective of the other stuff,
as long as they're they have some sort of loyalty
and will carry out what he thinks is right. Also,
he puts the best people in the jobs to do
the job well. RFK recently came out and said he

(26:35):
confirmed that the deep state is real, and they have
The media has been giving Trump crap about the deep
state and the ties to the Democratic Party and the
media and all of that for years and saying that
he's a conspiracy theorist and he's off his rocker.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Blah blah blah blah bah.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
Well, he came out the other day. RFK came out
and said, and I'm going to quote him here. President
Trump always talks about the deep state in the media.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
You know.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Well, he talks about the deep state, and the media,
you know, disparages him and says that he's paranoid.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
But the steep deep.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
State is real and it's not you know, George Soros
and Bill Gates and a bunch of nefarious individuals sitting
around in a room plotting the you know, the destruction
of humanity, he said, instead of shadowy figures meeting in
instead of shadowy figures meeting in dark rooms, it's even
more insidious institutional pressures that have transformed regulatory agencies into

(27:30):
industry puppets.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
The FDA is one.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
Of those sock puppets, he called them. He uh, the
FDA was basically being run by the food companies. They
have They've gotten into the involved in the FDA so
much that they have this thing that food companies have
been allowed to use called let me see if I
can find it here.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
Generally, okay, here it is.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
The FDA is using a something a system that they
have that's generally recognized as safe, seriously generally recognized as safe.
But you can put it in our food that we
have to eat and we don't know it.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
That's wrong. There's something wrong with that. And that's the
deep state.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
That's those alphabet agencies that get to make regulations and
I don't care if you call it a regulation or
a law. Those are those agencies that are making laws
when the only place that in the constitution, the only
branch of government that is allowed to make laws is Congress,
not these agencies. But when you make a regulation, that

(28:36):
can either have me put in jail if I break
that regulation, or find me that's a law.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
I have to follow it or there's going to be
a penalty. That's a law. We have to root these
people out.

Speaker 4 (28:47):
They've been entrenched in there for decades and if we
let them continue, and you can't tell me they're not
being bought off, there's a lot of them that are
being bribed.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
They've been in the doing it for two long even
if it's just being bribed.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
With the power, right, they get sick on that power
and they just want to keep doing it. Speaking of that,
I'm going to get off of this last thing here
in the last few minutes of the segment.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
Well, I don't know about Los Angeles, but the state
of California.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Has spent.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
Let's see, yeah, twenty four billion dollars in the last
five years on the homeless problem. That's thirteen million dollars
a day every day for the last five years to
try to solve homelessness. Do you know how many people
you can put in houses and feed them and all

(29:48):
of those things for thirteen million dollars a day.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
It's absolutely ludicrous.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
You cannot tell me that there is not waste, fraud,
and abuse happening in this home lessness industrial complex. Where
does twenty four billion dollar thirteen million dollars.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
A day every day? And the homeless problem has gotten worse?

Speaker 4 (30:11):
That, my friends, is government at its worst, and they
continue to do it and continue to do it until
they there's just no money left.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
And all they can say is we need more tax money.
You've wasted thirteen.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Million dollars a day on one problem that isn't even
remotely close to being solved. Not only is it not
remotely close to being solved, it's gotten worse.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
How do you do that.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
How do you justify thirteen million dollars a day and
a problem continue to get worse, not only the homeless problem,
but I talked about it a couple of shows ago
about the fact that they've got everybody on what's called
medical now and that's in debt by another nine billion
dollars past what they budgeted for it.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
California is a mess.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
It is a gorgeous state that is an absolute mess
at this point, and it's because of one party rule
and they have this Kumbai thought process that everything's going
to be good if we just throw enough money at it.
The reality is it's mismanaged and they don't know what
they're doing, and it's going to continue to.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Go downhill. Until they change something. They're gonna have to
vote differently, all right.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
This is Bonos Cars obviously likes to rant about other stuff.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Here's your host, Bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
All right, welcome back. Everybody. Happy, uh happy Easter weekend.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
I hope everybody's enjoying it, getting to spend some time
with family, remembering what's uh, what's important out there, and uh,
what should be important if you are in the United
States of America is the United States of America. I've
heard many people talking about the visas and and what

(32:57):
I'm most proud of about Marco Rubio being Secretary of Status.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
How many times I've heard him say being here is
a privilege. You do not have a right to be
in the.

Speaker 4 (33:07):
United States of America unless you've been born in the
United States of America. And you're here because we invited
you and we allowed you to stay. But you're not
allowed to be here. And trash is We're not going
to invite you over to dinner while you sit and
berate us in our own house, eating our food at
our table.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
You're not going to do that.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
So say what you want about Trump and look, I
am not some sycophant for Trump. I am a person
who can think for myself, has always thought for myself,
and is willing to say look, I in looking back
in retrospect, my father hated Bill Clinton, but I well,

(33:49):
Clinton did a pretty good job.

Speaker 3 (33:51):
I thought there.

Speaker 4 (33:51):
Were many many things that he did that that crossed
the lines, and some legislation that he got past that
were it was very It would just, let's put it
this way, it wouldn't pass in today's liberal party. You
couldn't get that stuff done. So I am somebody that
thinks on my own. So I'm not a Trump sick

(34:12):
e fan. But what I got to tell you is
the man definitely has uh testicular fortitude, Let's put it
that way. He absolutely has some major You know, this
man knows, first of all, his ego is the size
of Texas plus Alaska put together, and we know that.

(34:32):
But he is willing to do the hard work that
nobody has been willing to do since Ronald Reagan. Ronald
Reagan had the backbone to stand up to communism, communism
and stand up the Soviet Union and say, mister Gorbachev,
tear down this wall.

Speaker 3 (34:47):
Right.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
So Ronald Reagan knew speaks softly, but carry a big stick,
just like Teddy Roosevelt said. Trump knows he's got to
take a sledgehammer to some of these things to undo
all of the damage that has been done for decades.
He was willing to, you know, they talked about how
we couldn't get the border, couldn't be shut until we

(35:09):
passed this border deal. He literally came into office and
shut the border down in ten days, and all of
a sudden, we've got two hundred or three hundred crossings
a day now as opposed to the ten thousand crossings
a day we had when Biden was there. And all
Biden could do is say, I'm doing everything I can.
We've done everything we can to secure the border. I
can't do anything more. Trump stands up to everybody and

(35:29):
says we're not doing this anymore. But the people he's
standing up to the most is China. He knows that
the and I don't know how China did it, but
I have a feeling it was through a lot of bribery,
a lot of coercion, a lot of nefarious tactics. But

(35:52):
he stood up to China. And every time China says
we're raising our tears too good will raise ours a
little bit more, and you can call it a a
tariff war or a trade war. But we have been
at war with China for years, decades. China has been
growing and trying to become the dominant country in the world.

(36:15):
You remember, I don't know, twenty years ago or so,
when China unleashed drywall into the United States that was
literally killing people. China put drywall in the United States, it.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Was killing people.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
They released a flu like COVID from an institute in
China five years ago.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
They continue to supply all of the.

Speaker 4 (36:38):
Drug making materials, all of the raw materials to all
of the cartels in Mexico for fentanyl that has killed
two hundred and fifty to three hundred thousand young Americans
in the last five years. China is at war with us.
They continue to steal intellectual property. They continue There's an

(37:00):
article I was reading the other day where Chinese people
are going in and literally digging up the seeds on
American farms and putting them on a plane and flying
them back to China so they can start growing the
same crops we've been growing.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
These are seeds that have taken.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Millions of dollars in research and development and people's hard
work to learn to grow these particular crops the way
we grow them, and they just go dig up the
seeds and send them over to China and say, now,
start growing these. China has absolutely no qualms whatsoever. I
don't know how many wikers they've killed, but the estimation

(37:41):
I saw was millions. They have absolutely zero qualms disappearing people,
and they don't. They do not play by the rules.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
By any stretch of the imagination.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
They will have currency manipulation, they will steal our intellectual property,
they will those our products from getting into their country.
They have been at war with us forever. And how
do you when do we stand up to them? When
do we say no more? When does the time come

(38:16):
that we go We are the United States of America.
We are going to play by the rules. But we're
going to make you play by the rules, or we're
not going to play. We're not going to allow you
access to the greatest economic engine in the world, which
is the American consumer.

Speaker 3 (38:33):
Can't do it.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Because without that we can crush their economy pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Do they have some leverage on us?

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Sure, if they wanted to start controlling the interest rates
on housing. Right now, they can go start dumping some
of the mortgage back securities they bought. Sure they have
other ways, But if we don't stand up now, China
has built Forty years ago, China didn't even have a
blue water navy. Now China's navy rivals hours and probably

(39:02):
is a little bit stronger because last I read thirty,
I don't know half of our seaborn ships in the
United States Navy aren't necessarily seaworthy or in disrepair, even
though we're spending close to a trillion dollars a year
on defense.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
Tell me there's all some waste fraud abuse there. But
what are we going to do?

Speaker 4 (39:19):
Wait until they've already taken over everything? Are we not
going to try to re on shore anything? When I
remember when COVID hit, one of my concerns personally was
am I gonna be able to get my blood pressure medications?
And the reality is I didn't know they were allowed.
They kept them flowing, but most of them are made

(39:40):
in China. What are we going to do if China
just says no more, how do we fix that? And
if we don't stand up to them now, when is
the time, and as of the last well since Reagan,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:56):
That China was really a geopolitical enemy.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
I don't necessarily, not an ally for sure, but I
don't know that that's the way it was in Reagan's day.
But if it was, he would have stood up to China.
But since the nineteen eighties, China has grown quite a bit,
and not one single president has stood up to them.

(40:24):
As a matter of fact, they all appeased them because
we got hooked on cheap goods. Great we still have,
there's still cheap labor all around the world. There's a
lot of Brazilians that are looking for jobs. There's a
lot of people in South America that would would love jobs.
But we've allowed China to choke off to own both
ends of the Panama Canal, where seventy five to eighty

(40:46):
percent of our shipping goes through, China owns our shipping lane.

Speaker 3 (40:51):
How is that possible? How did we let that happen?

Speaker 4 (40:53):
By the way we let it happen in a canal
that's one of the greatest marveling, ineering marvels ever created
and built by the United States of America with our
funding and now China owns the ports at both ends.
How is that possible? We have run a trade deficit.
By the way, this is not just us. There's video

(41:15):
of Nancy Pelosi, who is up in arms.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Now.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
There's a video of Nancy Pelosi back in nineteen ninety
six on the House floor and she was ranting about
a thirty four billion dollar trade deficit with China.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
And today that trade deficit is three hundred and something
billion dollars.

Speaker 4 (41:34):
It's ten times the amount, and Nancy Pelosi is not
saying a word about it. But in nineteen ninety six
she was concerned with a thirty four billion dollar trade
deficit with China. You know why I think she's not
saying anything about it now because I think she's hooked
up with a Chinese Communist party and somehow, somehow her
husband had become very, very very wealthy with her in
the stock market over the last twenty five years. You

(41:57):
can't tell me it doesn't have something to do with China.
When do we stand up to them, When do we
not allow them to buy our freedoms? The fact that
we don't stop them from coming in and buying land
and farms they own. Smithfield, I will not eat Smithfield
Farms or Smithfield products. I won't eat their bacon, I

(42:17):
won't eat their sausage because it's Chinese owned. I'm not
going to I'm just not going to help them. Why
do we how many? How many American companies are buying
companies in China? I'd venture to say very very, very few,
because their markets aren't open to us to being able

(42:38):
to do that and investing in China, you really want
to invest in stocks that you don't have a clue whether.

Speaker 3 (42:46):
They're playing by the rules. I don't. So when do
we stand up to China?

Speaker 4 (42:51):
When do we take the time to say enough, We're
not putting up with this. We are the United States
of America, the greatest country on earth. We have built
the greatest economic engine ever known in humanity, and we
did it with our own ingenuity. And you can't just
keep stealing it from us, day after day after day
and then flooding our markets with the cheap goods they

(43:13):
come in.

Speaker 3 (43:14):
They you've seen it.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
They go and take pictures of all the new products
coming out of the electronics. They go right back to China.
They make it cheaper and less quality, and then they
flood our market back with it. It's insane, but he
is standing up to them, and it's it is absolutely
paying dividends, whether you see it today or not. What
I can tell you is in Vidia just the other
day in video announced that they're going to spend five

(43:38):
hundred billion dollars to build AI chips.

Speaker 3 (43:41):
And supercomputers in Texas. Five hundred billion.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
I know that Apple committed five hundred billion dollars to
bring iPhone or whatever electronic stuff back to the United States.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
I know that over the last four weeks or five weeks.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
I have heard or read about something like seven trillion
dollars worth of new investment coming back to the United
States because Trump stood up to China.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
We have got to make a difference.

Speaker 4 (44:12):
This is our moment in history, and people will look
back on this moment in history and wonder, was that
the turning point where we turned it all back around
and put it back on fair footing. And the United
States of America is continuing its run as.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
The greatest country on Earth.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
It's either that or we might all be speaking Chinese
one day, would you pick? I certainly like our freedoms
over theirs. All right, thanks for listening to everybody. I
sincerely appreciate you guys tuning in again this week. Happy
Easter to everybody, and I hope you have a great weekend.
