Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, good morning everybody.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Happy spring, A little ways into it, I guess, but man,
just psychotic weather. I thought we were done with all
the chili, but uh, nope. This past week was a
little bit, uh, a little low for my liking. But
it is what it is. We're gonna get to summer
soon enough and uh be able to enjoy it. So
(01:00):
I don't know if if you guys caught it this
past week, but in the local news, well I didn't
even catch it local news. I caught it from some
of the other sites I read. There was a delivery
driver for Uber or DoorDash. I can say Uber eat
the same thing, but DoorDash in the Burry Hill neighborhood
(01:23):
in a retail area where this DoorDash driver was picking
up some an order from Chick fil A, and an
apparent carjacker decided to carjack him and shotting.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The guy got shot in the leg.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
The DoorDash driver did it just so happens that as
he got shot in the leg, though, he also had
a gun of his own and shot and killed the carjacker.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
And there are going to be people out there who
are I'm obviously going to talk about the assassin the
should attempt soon, but there's gonna be people out there
that want to know why you had to kill the man.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
He was probably just you know, in need of a
car and needed transportation, and you don't know how he's
down on his luck. I saw a lady the other day,
a judge the other day that there was a convict
or a person who was being charged with assaulting a
(02:27):
child and I think assaulting a woman.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It was bad. The charges were bad. I'm not going
to talk about what they actually were, but they were bad.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
And this kid, this judge was trying to be lenient
with him and saying, you know, I know you've had
a tough time, and he's arguing with theyre saying, I
don't care what.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You think I had or a tough time or not.
I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I don't care about the family. I don't care about
the victims. He was telling her to go do things
to herself. He was just beligent. You could tell he
didn't care. He had absolutely no remorse for what he did,
and the judge insisted on giving him a light sentence
in an effort to rehab him.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It is not possible.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
There are a select few who won't be.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
On the recidivus list, but there are.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
But for the most part, those violent offenders that they've
probably violently offended many more times than they were actually
charged with, simply because the other people didn't want to
press charges or were too scared to do so. We
have to have some personal accountability.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We have to be able.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And look, that's the thing about Florida, Tennessee, Texas. I
think one of the things that keeps the crime down
is the fact that people know you can stand your
ground in those states and.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You probably are going to get away with it. You
probably are.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Going to be able to defend yourself or defend your castle,
or do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You should be able to.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
There is a social contract that we all make that
says we're going to live in a civilized society, and
the only way we can do that is if we
all trust each other to do the right thing. And
when you find that one bad seed that's not willing
to do the right thing, you have to pluck that
seed out and remove it from society, otherwise it will
(04:21):
destroy everything around it. It is absolutely sickening to me
that they just keep thinking somehow you can rehab your
way out of it, and it doesn't work that way. Also,
this week, there was one of the one of the
things that I was more happy about than I have
been in a while for things that the government's doing.
(04:42):
I'm pretty happy with a lot of the things the
government's doing, but this one, I thought, you got to
be kidneed somebody finally took control of that. Should have
done that ten year, fifteen years ago. So Trump and
his administration has decided that they are no longer going
to be backing loans for degrees that have no merit
to them. For you want to get an underwater basket
(05:03):
weaving degree, go knock yourself out. We're just not going
to loan you the money and federally back the loan
to do so. Let me see if the Trumper administration's
proposed accountability framework is grounded in common sense. If post
secondary education programs do not lead graduates better off, tax
payers should not subsidize them. That came from Under Secretary
(05:23):
of Education Nicholas Kent. He also went on to say
this consensus backed framework will drive meaningful change in post
secondary education, ending years of regulatory whiplash and addressing student
debt that has left too many students worse off. I've
said this many times. You want to go get a
degree in the STEM field right when you want to
get something in sciences or technology, something a law degree.
(05:47):
But there are so many degrees offered now. And it
only happened when the federal government said we'll back all
student loans. As soon as they did that, they knew
that there was no way they were not going to
get paid. All of the collegi just started hiring all
of these administrators, jacking the price of tuition up. They
probably I think the last thing I saw was they
had a four hundred percent increase in second post secondary
(06:10):
education admin It's not necessary, you don't need one administrator
for every student.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But they knew they could continue to.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Expand and expand and expand because they were going to
be able to jack rate up because the loans that
were going to be taken out, we're going to be
paid back no matter what. And then they left you
and me, the taxpayers, on the hook for all these
kids who got degrees that did them absolutely no good.
Why would we continue to do that? Why would we
continue to subsidize a four year vacation for a bunch
(06:40):
of eighteen, nineteen, and twenty year olds that has to
come that are smart enough apparently to sign a contract,
but not smart enough to understand that the value you're
getting back for that contract is nothing. You're going to
spend seventy five thousand dollars to get an education that
you didn't need because it doesn't have anything to do
with the field you're in. I have people working for
(07:02):
me selling cars right now. Probably half of my staff
has a college degree, and I'm thinking, you guys could
have spent four years doing this instead of going to
college and having all this debt that you've got to
pay now for no reason whatsoever, Because this job doesn't
require a college education. It just requires you to be
able to work hard, talk well, and have some level
of discipline. It is we should have ended that grift.
(07:26):
Years ago, we wouldn't have one point seven trillion dollars
in student debt. We'd have one hundred billion dollars in
student debt if they were having to get loans. If
you're not going to get a degree, they're going to
pay you more than you need to pay back the loan.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Why are you getting the degree?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Common sense, the Coalition for common sense. We need to
all be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
All right, This is Bonos Cars brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac of Murphysborough.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Come on back. After the break.
Speaker 1 (08:11):

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

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
All right, welcome back everybody. So I just I don't
know the answer to this question. This is a rhetorical question,
but it's it's as I'm thinking through the question, I'm
thinking it kind of makes sense, do you How many
people on the left are taking business classes or economics
(08:59):
class or those types of studying, those types of things
that help you get through life, right understanding how to
balance your checkbook, which I learned when I was in
sixth or seventh grade, because we were teaching real life
skills instead of all of these degrees that this kind
(09:19):
of tying into the last segment, but instead of all
of these degrees that have no economic value whatsoever other
than teaching people to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
If you want.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
To study and obviously this is just made up Chinese
fifteenth century poetry. Great, go study it. But the only
good that degree is going to do you is if
you can get a job teaching other people about fifteenth
century Chinese poetry. Because there is no marketable skill out
there that the market needs or desires that they're going
(09:51):
to pay you for that other than if.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You invent something to pay yourself.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
So how many of those people are taking how many
of our politicians on the left actually took classes that
weren't in the liberal arts or philosophy and all of
those things that don't work that they're great have at it.
I'm a big believer in constantly educating yourself, constantly reading,
constantly staying ahead of the game. I absolutely believe it
(10:17):
keeps you young, it keeps your mind sharp, it keeps
It's why people like warm Buffett.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
And Stallone and all of those guys.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm taking two different things, right, So Buffet's in a
different field, but Stallone's.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The same way.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
They stay involved, they stay engaged, and they age way better.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Than most people.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
So with that said, I don't think too many of
the politicians that are on the left ever really studied
economics or I don't know how. They don't know that
the policies that they're putting into place don't work in
the real world.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So Colorado is one of the California is also.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
But Colorado is one of the most beautiful states I've
ever seen, and I've had the privilege of being at
about thirty of our states.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
There's probably twenty I haven't visited, but Colorado. My kids
and I went skiing out there many times, and I
absolutely loved Colorado. Thought it was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Colorado twenty years ago was solidly read, but slowly but surely,
a bunch of those people from California decided to move
to Colorado because they didn't like the politics in California
as much anymore. So they moved to Colorado. And they
have slowly but surely turned it from purple to blue
and commensurately the policies that screwed up California and put
(11:43):
it on the path that it's on now to fiscal
irresponsibility along with Chicago and New York and all the others.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That those same policies got enacted.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Inforni in Colorado, so in Colorado. In two thousand and eighteen,
Colorado was third in the nation for personal income growth,
had a regulatory burden that was in the lower half.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Of all the states.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
They were tied for second lowest unemployment in twenty seventeen
at two point seven percent, which was not unusual for them.
They had job growth of two point four percent in
twenty seventeen, which was typical for a state that was
already in the top ten regularly and a top ten
destination for people moving in from other states. In a
(12:31):
short seven years of total Democrat run policies, seven years,
Colorado has gone from third in the nation for personal
income growth to thirty ninth in the nation for personal
income growth. They currently have the sixth worst regulatory burden
in the nation, as opposed to being in the lower
(12:54):
half of regulatory burdens back just seven or eight years ago.
In March they had the highest second highest unemployment rate,
which was not an atypical month. Recently, they had job
growth of point one seven percent from March twenty fourth
March of twenty four to March of twenty five, which
(13:14):
was forty third in the nation and a bottom ten
destination for people moving in from other states. You literally,
in seven years worth of policies, have taken a state
that was in the top five in economic growth and
doing all of the things they needed to be doing
to continue that economic growth, and you have somehow squandered
(13:36):
it all because of overregulation, overburdening the people.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I know Pallenteer just left. They moved there five years ago.
Any wait, yeah, we're done.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
In five years you got rid of a company that
has thousands of jobs.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Policies matter. This is not utopia.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
We all still have to have work, we all still
have to have personal responsibility, We all still have to
make our way in life. We cannot allow everybody to
take over and fifty one percent to determine that the
other forty nine percent have to give them everything they
have just because that's what's fair. That same stupid policies
(14:20):
that New York, the New Yorkers voted for when they
voted in Mandamie are they're getting what they voted for,
good and hard right now. He I don't know how
many of you guys saw it, but I saw a
video that Mandonnie did on tax Day where he stood
in front of Ken Griffin's apartment in New York.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Ken Griffin owned Citadel Investing Citadel Hedge Fund.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
And he paid two hundred and thirty eight million dollars
for this apartment back in twenty eighteen. At the time,
it was the most expensive property sold in the United
States of America. Ken Griffin, after he saw all the
things going down in New York and COVID, decided to
move his operation to Miami, and with it took thousands
of jobs and millions of millions and millions of dollars
(15:07):
worth of income. Ken Griffin, at the time and his
and Citadel had been paid, had paid in a three
year period something like two point three billion dollars in
taxes to the City of New York. He also gave
them over six hundred and fifty million dollars worth of
charitable notations to New York organizations, and so Mandammi films
(15:28):
in front of his house and says, yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
We're going to put a pieded hair tax.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
It's attacks on second homes that are worth more than
five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
If you don't live in the city, we're going to
tax you even.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
More so in response to that, in response to literally
going on X or Twitter or whatever it is and
filming yourself standing in front of a man who busted
his hump to be where he is. Ken Griffin started
trading when he was in his college dorm, and he
(15:59):
built that by himself. We started it by himself. He
eventually built it with a lot more people.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But he built that.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Company into a multi billion dollar hundreds of billions of
dollars worth of hedge fund trading, and he created that well.
But he also gave away six hundred and fifty million
dollars just to New York organizations.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Do you think that if.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
He'd paid it more and paid two point three billion
dollars in taxes to New York, him and his company
and the employees that he has two point three billion
dollars worth of their money went to fund things in
New York City. Now, because you went and targeted the man,
he had a project where he was going to invest
(16:43):
six billion dollars in a project in New York City
that was also going to bring in twenty thousand permanent
jobs twenty five hundred, I'm sorry, twenty five hundred permanent jobs,
not twenty five hundred permanent jobs.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
And.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Probably another two billion dollars worth of taxes that would
have been paid over a few years by the people
that were making the money. Let me tell you something.
I've said this before. The rich ones are paying their
fair share. They are paying an enormous amount of the
overall tax burden, whether it be property taxes, sales taxes,
income taxes, it doesn't matter. People that have the money
(17:21):
are the ones that are spending it and propping it up.
We all have jobs because of those people, and you're
going to continue to target them and demonize them like
they didn't earn that money and they're not giving back.
Jeff Bezos has filed to sell four point five billion
dollars worth of his stock four point five billion dollars
(17:45):
now it's his money.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You can do what he wants.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
But on that four point five billion dollars, he will
write a check for somewhere around one point twenty five
billion dollars to the US government for income taxes. It'll
be long term, it'll be long term gains at twenty
four percent. So he's going to write a check for
twenty four percent of the four point five billion dollar.
What in the world do you think he should be paying?
What is the fair share? The whole thing boils down
(18:12):
to policies. Policies matter, and when you continue to vote
for people whose economic awareness is that of an alligator
in the swamp, you have no idea why or how
it all actually works. Because if you did, you would
know that you don't punish people for economic growth, that
(18:36):
capital will flee and go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
They don't have to put up with your crap. They
just never learned.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Socialism has not worked anywhere. It's been tried nowhere. It
has killed more people. And it's basically socialism's communism, just
spelled differently. All right, This is Bonos cars, rants about
lots of other stuff brought to you by Chevrolet.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
You at GMC and Cadillaca, Murphysboro. Come on back.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he has
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough.

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
All right, welcome back everybody, and thank you Lord once
again for.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Not allowing a madman to murder another human being who
happens to be our president.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And a couple of things I want to talk about
about this incident last weekend. Number one, all you people
on the left that are screaming about toxic masculinity, go
watch the videos of everything that was happening inside that
ballroom and while it was happening, and look at all
(20:21):
the men who did nothing but shield their wives instantly
with their own bodies that were willing. There was a
secret service agent that jumped out of the crowd and
immediately placed himself right in front of President Trump. Now
it wasn't his wife, obviously, but he was also over
that while President Trump was over protecting Millennia. I saw
(20:43):
Pete Hegseth protecting his wife. I saw Steven Miller protecting
his wife. I saw all these men immediately surrounding their
wives and making sure they were safe and putting their
body in front of the danger. That's what masculinity is.
There's nothing toxic about that. That is being willing to
(21:03):
Who's that guy on the Titanic, that Billy what's his
name played? That was the rich guy that was with
the girl that Leo ended up with, and he was
willing to fake being either sick or have a kid
or something. I think he took somebody's kid if I
remember the movie correctly, and use that as a way
(21:23):
to get on one of the lifeboats before the women
and children could get on. That's not a man. That's
a coward and so toxic. What you describe as toxic masculinity,
I describe as heroism and the willingness to put yourself
in danger to save others, the same thing that many
of our law enforcement people do, the same thing that
(21:44):
our armed forces do. Being willing to step up and
be the man and take over and handle a situation
that needs to be handled.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
That does not mean that my wife does not have
the ability to take care of herself. She absolutely does,
as almost all other women that I know have the
ability to take care of themselves, probably better than we can.
But the instinct is to be a safe haven to
protect and we need more of that. And this demonizing
(22:17):
young men and demonizing the willingness to put your body
on the line or to put your yourself in danger
to save others. We need to stop demonizing that because
it matters. But in addition to that, what it also
did again this weekend was bring out the nastiest human beings.
(22:42):
Two things Norah O'Donnell interviewing the president the day after
it happened and bringing up the manifesto. Let me back
up a second, because this goes into that. First of all,
you guys, there's a manifesto he wrote out exactly what
his motive was, and literally forty eight hours after it happened,
and at least twenty four hours after having the manifesto
(23:03):
that said this is I was targeting the Trump administration officials.
I was doing it because he's a pedophile, rapist something else.
And then Norah O'Donnell gets on TV National TV reads
those words, trying to plant that seed that that's what
the president actually is, when it's absolutely never been charged,
(23:27):
nothing like that's ever happened.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
And by the way, let me also back up and
tell you.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Eric Swalwell this matters in this context. Eric Swalwell was
a deep state operative, right. He was a congressman for
since twenty ten, I think a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
He was a media darling. He was all over the
media everywhere.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
He was leading the polling for governor of California. The
deep state took him down in seven days start to finish.
He was leading the polls for governor of California, and
within seven days he was resigned from Congress, never to
(24:13):
be heard from again and having to deal with a
bunch of legal problems with that in mind, seven days,
you think they still have something on Trump. It's been
ten years, and don't give me this crap about these
fake impeachments that none of the I got something to
talk about about the impeachment too. But seven days they
(24:34):
took down a congressman that's been in there fifteen years.
Ten years they've been trying to take Trump down. And
you think they still have something on him.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Come on, use your brain.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
So back to the manifesto that all of the people
that I see, from nurses to teachers to doctors literally
pitching fits and tantrums because they didn't kill him, openly
wishing to kill a human being. Forty two percent of
(25:09):
all of people on the left who identify as either
extremely liberal or very liberal, forty two percent of the
people identifying as extremely liberal or very liberal actually said
that political violence is necessary sometimes. From that same study,
(25:31):
only five percent I'm sorry, nine percent of people who
identify as very conservative or mostly extremely conservative or mostly
conservative whatever it was, same one forty two percent of
liberals think that political violence is okay. Nine percent of
people on the right think that political violence is okay.
(25:57):
If that doesn't tell you where all of this resides.
The man has had four different attempts at assassination, the
butler one, the one with Ryan Ruth in the bushes
at mar A Lago when he was playing golf, the
one yesterday this past week, and there was a fourth one.
It just so happened that they shot the shooter at
mar A Lago who busted through mar A Lago with
(26:18):
some shotguns, but he.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Wasn't Trump wasn't there at the time.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Four times they have tried to murder this man, and
you're still out there saying you're sorry he missed. Can
you imagine going into a hospital. You've been in a
car wreck, and they take you to the emergency room
and you go in and I don't know, you've got
a shattered pelvis, but you just so happened to have
(26:45):
on a pair of underwear that say Trump on him
something I don't know, maga whatever. And the nurses on
duty happened to be some of these nurses that have
filmed some of this stuff wishing for the death of
not only Trump but any of his supporters. She happens
to be the nurse in the emergency room cuts off
(27:07):
your pants because they got to get to your hip
and sees that underwear.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Do you feel safe with her?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
She literally has been on social media saying she wished
everybody who voted for Trump died and that we were
all horrible human beings. Hassan Piker, who is one of
the darlings of the left right now openly called for
the murder of President Trump, said that he believed that
(27:33):
Luigi Mangoni who murder a man, shooting him in the back.
Hassan Piker openly advocates for Luigi Mangione to get off
scot free because he was doing a service to humanity.
And you want to tell me this is a both
sides issue, There's not even remotely close to anything that
(27:56):
can make this a both sides issue. This is one sided.
And the political violence and the fact that the people
on the left who have called everybody who voted for
Trump nazis, the gestapo, that called all of his administrations
the same thing, continue to do it, continue to say
they're existential.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Threats to the society.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Just ramp up the rhetoric until you get crazy people
who tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh, who tried to kill
Steve Scalise, who shot up all of the Republicans at
the baseball field, who have tried to assassinate this president
four different times.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
You don't want a civil war. I don't want a
civil war. I want no part of anything like that
to destroy this country for what it doesn't it's not necessary.
But what I do want is for some people to recognize.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
That it wouldn't go well for one side if there
was one. Most of the people in the military reside
on one side of the aisle. I'm not saying ah,
I'm saying that there's a larger percentage. Most of the
people in All of the first responders typically have lean
one side. All of the farmers tend to lean one side,
(29:13):
all of the people who drive trucks tend to lean
one side. All of the working class, which is what
Trump won this past election with. Those are the people
that keep America running. If you're in the inner cities
and all you know is that your food comes in
this nice, neat, little sterile package. Every day that you
walk into the grocery store, there's just another one there
for you. But you have no idea what it takes
(29:35):
to get that food there, or you have no idea
what it takes to go out and actually plant the seed,
or to drive the truck, or to do the manual
labor necessary. You can't keep this place running. We would
shut you down inside of five days. You'd have no food,
no water, no supply lines, no nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
It wouldn't it.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It wouldn't even be fair.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
You don't want that, smoke, I don't none of us
should want that. But if you don't find.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
A way to get your crazies under control and stop
this madness you need. You should be praying that he
didn't get to Trump and that he didn't kill Trump,
because I can't tell you what's going to happen if
he did. And by the way, this bringing up January
sixth all the time, All those people that were at
(30:27):
that rally on January sixth, if they don't wanted to
kill anybody, they would have brought their guns. That wasn't
what happened. Nobody had a weapon. You want to talk
about a riot and the worst day in the history
of the United State? No, no, no, what are you
even close? It was a bunch of people who.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Look, did they trespass yep? Did they need so they
got in trouble? Yep?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
But did they Were they there to commit violence? Didn't
look like it to me. One person that got shot
was Ashley Babbitt. She was unarmed.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Quit both sides of this issue. It's not a both
sides issue, all right.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
This is Bonos car ranch about lots of other stuff.
Wat to you by Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Of Murphysboro, with over thirty years in the auto industry
he has deciding to pull back the curtain and show
you what's really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to
(31:28):
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 (31:40):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
All right, welcome back everybody.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I'm gonna do this last segment a little different than
I normally do. I've got three different topics. I'm gonna
kind of split it up into because they interested me
my show. So in Michigan, there was a bill HB
fifty four to twenty five that was introduced by a
(32:08):
Republican recently and the House Judiciary Committee in Michigan they
were considering this bill, and the bill would prohibit registered
sex offenders from working at places like primarily that primarily
provide services to minors, including child care facilities, summer camps,
tutoring services, martial arts or dance studios, and youth sports programs.
(32:33):
So if you were a registered sex offender in Michigan,
they were making sure that you didn't work.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Around a bunch of children. That was law. It seems
fairly common sense.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Look, my weapon, I've had this philosophical discussion about being
on the Registered Sex Offenders List. We've seen kids that
got put on there that were eighteen years old because
they turned eighteen and they were still dating the same
fifteen her sixteen year old young lady that they were
dating three weeks ago, and somehow the parents got mad
and so they filed charges against him. And now he's eighteen,
(33:08):
so it's statutory and he's on the sex offenders list.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I don't think that I think that's wrong.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
I just there are differences, different ways to get on there,
and so this isn't a blanket applies to every single person,
but it should be that it's definitely much much, much
much harder to work around children if you've been put.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
On this registered sex offenders list.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
All right, So with that background, not one Democrat voted
for it, not one. Every Democrat voted that they should
be allowed to interact with a bunch of children. Something
about that just does not sound copasetic to me. But
I don't live in Michigan, So policies, policies, policies, policies,
(33:54):
forget the human beings, whether you like them or you
don't like them, All that matters is the policies that
they're trying to put forth. Will they keep you safe?
Will they give us a good economic footing? Will they
allow us to pay down the national's forty trillion dollar debt?
Will they allow everybody to live the American dream and
grow up or at least have an opportunity for the
American dream. There's no guarantee you're going to catch it,
(34:16):
but there is a guarantee that you at least have
the opportunity if you take it and you apply yourself,
if you don't use any excuses, and you just get.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
It done, all right.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
The next subject I wanted to cover, Well, I don't
know if you guys caught this or not, because it harmeat.
Dylan is doing a great job, I think, based on
what I've read and see and what you're doing those
kind of things. But one of her jobs has been
trying to clean up the voter rolls. Now, there is
(34:52):
no good logical reason to me for a state to
say we're not handing over our voting roles the federal
government elections. We should be able to look at the
voter rolls. So Harmey Dylan. She's been trying to clean
them up. She's gotten about a third of the states
to cooperate and center the voter rolls. The other twenty nine,
(35:13):
including all including the District of Columbia, they all refuse
to hand them over, so she's suing them to get
the voter records.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Now.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That means she's only gotten what's that twenty one, So
twenty one of the fifty states have handed over their
voter rolls. Again, I'm pretty sure if you're not willing
to hand them over, you know there's something on there
you don't want them to find. Otherwise there would be
no reason not to hand it over. But here's what
she found. Out of just twenty one states so far,
(35:43):
they've been able to run records, about sixty million of
them so far. In the findings, they're nuts, all right.
They found three hundred and fifty thousand dead people currently
listed on voter rolls across those jurisdictions within any active roles.
So in just twenty one states there were three hundred
and fifty thousand dead people on the roles. That means
(36:06):
that if you extrapolate that out, there's probably close to
a million dead people still on voter rolls out there.
When you consider that the twenty twenty election swung by
about fifty thousand votes total, a million people dead on
the voter rolls that have the opportunity to still vote
is a game changer. They also, by the way, found
(36:29):
that there were twenty five thousand individuals that were on
those voter records that have had no citizenship records, and
so if you extrapolate that out, that's another fifty thousand.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Of human beings on voter rolls that aren't supposed to
be there. And we're told all the time the most safe,
secure elections in the world. Great, then why are you
fighting it so hard to say we need to have
ID I saw a tweet the other day. It was
like a meme and that ladies like, happy tax Day.
(37:04):
You can fill out you can mail your taxes in
today with no postmark on them and the IRS.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Won't penalize you at all.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
And then she said, oh, wait, that's not for tax Day, that's.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Just for voting.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
I thought, that's true, right, you can somehow this mail
voting that goes on for a week afterwards. Nobody knows
where the it's not that hard. We didn't have this
problem with the elections until sixteen when people started questioning
the Russia collusion, and we know that was a complete
utter hoax.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
That I'm going to talk about next week again.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
It is absolutely astounding to me that it's constantly You're
constantly finding ways to fight cleaning the voter rolls up
or making sure that our elections are just free and fair.
That's all we all ask for. I've said this on
this show two different times when the vote came in
and didn't come our way. I want the president to
(38:03):
be successful because I believe in the United States of
America and he is the president for all the United States.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
It is what it is. We lost, move on, but
I want to know that I lost fair and square,
not cheating. So last, but.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Certainly not least, Gavin Newsom is running for president. I
don't see any way that at this point that he's
not going to run for president.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
He is positioning himself.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
He wrote a book, he's doing everything he can to
try to clean up his image, although he's doing a terrible,
terrible job. And I don't stilln't understand this Trump arrangement syndrome.
You guys are out there campaigning about anti Trump. Anti Trump.
You know he's not going to be running this time, right,
So why are you worried about campaigning against Trump? He's
not your opponent. Stupidest strategy I've ever seen. Tell me
(38:54):
what you're gonna do for the economy. Tell me what
you're gonna do. Oh wait, you can't because you've destroyed
the California economy with all of your overregulations, over burdens
and taxes. But on top of that, there was a
story that came out the other day. You know, they're
trying to pass a law that reporting on fraud in California.
(39:16):
It's called the Nick Shirley Act. Nick Shirley's a guy
that broke the Somali fraud in Minnesota. A young kid
that's twenty three years old just does a YouTube channel.
They're literally trying to pass a law that would penalize
Nick Shirley for exposing the fraud in California.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
These people are as corrupt as you can possibly get.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
But where do you hear this?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
The State Control or Controller Mark Malia Cohen, who is
the top fiscal watchdog for the entire state of California,
had a report the other day where they conceded that
required audits I'm reading from the report they conceded that
(39:58):
required audits are falling by the wayside. Instead of funding us,
they cut us. They keep cutting our auditing teams. So
you're literally cutting the auditors out so that they can't
audit you because you won't fund the office to have
enough auditors.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
But guess what they did find. Let me see if
I can read it here.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Make sure it's the California State Auditor and Legislative Analysts
Office have repeatedly flagg delays in financial reporting, even high risk,
in action at issues, and inaction on audit recommendations, adding
up to at least four hundred and twenty five billion
dollars that in the last three years that's missing.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Let me make sure I get this right.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
You're running a state that has four hundred and twenty
that can't close a budget hole. You're the highest tax
state in the nation. Well maybe not, maybe New York
gets there. I don't know, But what I can tell
you is, if you've lost four hundred and twenty five
billion dollars of the taxpayer's money and you refuse to
let the audit to fund the auditors so they can
go find out where this money is.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Or trace where it went.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
You're grifting everybody in the state four hundred and twenty
five billion dollars one state, and you're telling me they
don't they still need to raise taxes.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
And you fools are out there saying, tax the rich,
tax the rich.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
Tax for what they lost four hundred and twenty five
billion dollars. Do I have to pay more taxes just
to give it away to their friends? They hold a
Roman spear to my body and say, give me the taxes,
or we're going to kill you, or we're going to
jail you and get when you give it to me,
I'm going to go distribute your money that you worked
(41:50):
hard for to all of my friends and NGOs that
need to get rich. Now, how about no, how about
I don't like that plan? Do I get a say
so in this? I do because I moved to Tennessee
instead of moving to California. But Californians who are out
there and they're they look, Trump still got forty percent
of the vote. So it's not like there's no people
(42:11):
on the right out in California.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
There are quite a few.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
But even with that you, and you're not furious for
for here's the problem. Nobody finds out about it. The
report that was said there were four hundred and twenty
five billion dollars missing or lost. Nobody reads about it
because the Sacramento b or whatever it is, none of this,
the Los Angeles Times, all of those, they're not reporting
it because they're in on the grift too. They get
(42:37):
access to the politicians and the power and all the
other stuff. While the politicians continued to get rich by
grifting off of our taxes. While people out there continue
to scream tax the rich, how about we just quit
losing the money.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
We've got enough. We do not have a revenue issue.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
When Ma'm Donnie wanted to raise New York's budget from
one hundred and twenty one billion to one hundred two
twenty seven billion, that's just six more billion dollars to
run the state or the city so that I can
go get my pet peeve projects. By the way, demand's
building a government run grocery store. It's going to cost
thirty billion or thirty million dollars to get open and
(43:15):
won't open.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
For three or four years.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
It is five to seven times the cost of what
a normal grocery store would cost to open in the
city of New York.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
That's that's socialism.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
Going to take us five years longer and five times
more money to have the exact same thing. And oh,
by the way, we're going to have lower prices on
just a few things. Policies matter, people, And if you're
voting for people who have the wrong idea of wrong education,
don't understand economics, don't understand public safety or the psychology
(43:50):
of it or whatever, don't vote for them, because we're
we got to do something in reverse course here, this
is nuts four hundred and twenty five billion dollars missing.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Nobody cares. I'd care, all right, this is Bonos Cars obviously.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Gets worked up about stuff brought to a Chevrolet, Buick,
GMC and Cadillac of Murphysborough.
Speaker 3 (44:10):

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

needs call six one five six four five one zero

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, good morning everybody.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Happy spring, A little ways into it, I guess, but man,
just psychotic weather. I thought we were done with all
the chili, but uh, nope. This past week was a
little bit, uh, a little low for my liking. But
it is what it is. We're gonna get to summer
soon enough and uh be able to enjoy it. So
(01:00):
I don't know if if you guys caught it this
past week, but in the local news, well I didn't
even catch it local news. I caught it from some
of the other sites I read. There was a delivery
driver for Uber or DoorDash. I can say Uber eat
the same thing, but DoorDash in the Burry Hill neighborhood
(01:23):
in a retail area where this DoorDash driver was picking
up some an order from Chick fil A, and an
apparent carjacker decided to carjack him and shotting.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The guy got shot in the leg.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
The DoorDash driver did it just so happens that as
he got shot in the leg, though, he also had
a gun of his own and shot and killed the carjacker.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
And there are going to be people out there who
are I'm obviously going to talk about the assassin the
should attempt soon, but there's gonna be people out there
that want to know why you had to kill the man.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
He was probably just you know, in need of a
car and needed transportation, and you don't know how he's
down on his luck. I saw a lady the other day,
a judge the other day that there was a convict
or a person who was being charged with assaulting a
(02:27):
child and I think assaulting a woman.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It was bad. The charges were bad. I'm not going
to talk about what they actually were, but they were bad.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
And this kid, this judge was trying to be lenient
with him and saying, you know, I know you've had
a tough time, and he's arguing with theyre saying, I
don't care what.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
You think I had or a tough time or not.
I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
I don't care about the family. I don't care about
the victims. He was telling her to go do things
to herself. He was just beligent. You could tell he
didn't care. He had absolutely no remorse for what he did,
and the judge insisted on giving him a light sentence
in an effort to rehab him.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It is not possible.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
There are a select few who won't be.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
On the recidivus list, but there are.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
But for the most part, those violent offenders that they've
probably violently offended many more times than they were actually
charged with, simply because the other people didn't want to
press charges or were too scared to do so. We
have to have some personal accountability.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
We have to be able.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
And look, that's the thing about Florida, Tennessee, Texas. I
think one of the things that keeps the crime down
is the fact that people know you can stand your
ground in those states and.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
You probably are going to get away with it. You
probably are.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Going to be able to defend yourself or defend your castle,
or do.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
You should be able to.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
There is a social contract that we all make that
says we're going to live in a civilized society, and
the only way we can do that is if we
all trust each other to do the right thing. And
when you find that one bad seed that's not willing
to do the right thing, you have to pluck that
seed out and remove it from society, otherwise it will
(04:21):
destroy everything around it. It is absolutely sickening to me
that they just keep thinking somehow you can rehab your
way out of it, and it doesn't work that way. Also,
this week, there was one of the one of the
things that I was more happy about than I have
been in a while for things that the government's doing.
(04:42):
I'm pretty happy with a lot of the things the
government's doing, but this one, I thought, you got to
be kidneed somebody finally took control of that. Should have
done that ten year, fifteen years ago. So Trump and
his administration has decided that they are no longer going
to be backing loans for degrees that have no merit
to them. For you want to get an underwater basket
(05:03):
weaving degree, go knock yourself out. We're just not going
to loan you the money and federally back the loan
to do so. Let me see if the Trumper administration's
proposed accountability framework is grounded in common sense. If post
secondary education programs do not lead graduates better off, tax
payers should not subsidize them. That came from Under Secretary
(05:23):
of Education Nicholas Kent. He also went on to say
this consensus backed framework will drive meaningful change in post
secondary education, ending years of regulatory whiplash and addressing student
debt that has left too many students worse off. I've
said this many times. You want to go get a
degree in the STEM field right when you want to
get something in sciences or technology, something a law degree.
(05:47):
But there are so many degrees offered now. And it
only happened when the federal government said we'll back all
student loans. As soon as they did that, they knew
that there was no way they were not going to
get paid. All of the collegi just started hiring all
of these administrators, jacking the price of tuition up. They
probably I think the last thing I saw was they
had a four hundred percent increase in second post secondary
(06:10):
education admin It's not necessary, you don't need one administrator
for every student.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
But they knew they could continue to.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Expand and expand and expand because they were going to
be able to jack rate up because the loans that
were going to be taken out, we're going to be
paid back no matter what. And then they left you
and me, the taxpayers, on the hook for all these
kids who got degrees that did them absolutely no good.
Why would we continue to do that? Why would we
continue to subsidize a four year vacation for a bunch
(06:40):
of eighteen, nineteen, and twenty year olds that has to
come that are smart enough apparently to sign a contract,
but not smart enough to understand that the value you're
getting back for that contract is nothing. You're going to
spend seventy five thousand dollars to get an education that
you didn't need because it doesn't have anything to do
with the field you're in. I have people working for
(07:02):
me selling cars right now. Probably half of my staff
has a college degree, and I'm thinking, you guys could
have spent four years doing this instead of going to
college and having all this debt that you've got to
pay now for no reason whatsoever, Because this job doesn't
require a college education. It just requires you to be
able to work hard, talk well, and have some level
of discipline. It is we should have ended that grift.
(07:26):
Years ago, we wouldn't have one point seven trillion dollars
in student debt. We'd have one hundred billion dollars in
student debt if they were having to get loans. If
you're not going to get a degree, they're going to
pay you more than you need to pay back the loan.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Why are you getting the degree?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Common sense, the Coalition for common sense. We need to
all be a part of it.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
All right, This is Bonos Cars brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac of Murphysborough.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Come on back. After the break.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he has
decided 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 Murphresboro dot com.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
All right, welcome back everybody. So I just I don't
know the answer to this question. This is a rhetorical question,
but it's it's as I'm thinking through the question, I'm
thinking it kind of makes sense, do you How many
people on the left are taking business classes or economics
(08:59):
class or those types of studying, those types of things
that help you get through life, right understanding how to
balance your checkbook, which I learned when I was in
sixth or seventh grade, because we were teaching real life
skills instead of all of these degrees that this kind
(09:19):
of tying into the last segment, but instead of all
of these degrees that have no economic value whatsoever other
than teaching people to do it.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
If you want.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
To study and obviously this is just made up Chinese
fifteenth century poetry. Great, go study it. But the only
good that degree is going to do you is if
you can get a job teaching other people about fifteenth
century Chinese poetry. Because there is no marketable skill out
there that the market needs or desires that they're going
(09:51):
to pay you for that other than if.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
You invent something to pay yourself.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
So how many of those people are taking how many
of our politicians on the left actually took classes that
weren't in the liberal arts or philosophy and all of
those things that don't work that they're great have at it.
I'm a big believer in constantly educating yourself, constantly reading,
constantly staying ahead of the game. I absolutely believe it
(10:17):
keeps you young, it keeps your mind sharp, it keeps
It's why people like warm Buffett.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
And Stallone and all of those guys.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
I'm taking two different things, right, So Buffet's in a
different field, but Stallone's.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
The same way.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
They stay involved, they stay engaged, and they age way better.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Than most people.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
So with that said, I don't think too many of
the politicians that are on the left ever really studied
economics or I don't know how. They don't know that
the policies that they're putting into place don't work in
the real world.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
So Colorado is one of the California is also.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
But Colorado is one of the most beautiful states I've
ever seen, and I've had the privilege of being at
about thirty of our states.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
There's probably twenty I haven't visited, but Colorado. My kids
and I went skiing out there many times, and I
absolutely loved Colorado. Thought it was beautiful.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Colorado twenty years ago was solidly read, but slowly but surely,
a bunch of those people from California decided to move
to Colorado because they didn't like the politics in California
as much anymore. So they moved to Colorado. And they
have slowly but surely turned it from purple to blue
and commensurately the policies that screwed up California and put
(11:43):
it on the path that it's on now to fiscal
irresponsibility along with Chicago and New York and all the others.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
That those same policies got enacted.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Inforni in Colorado, so in Colorado. In two thousand and eighteen,
Colorado was third in the nation for personal income growth,
had a regulatory burden that was in the lower half.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Of all the states.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
They were tied for second lowest unemployment in twenty seventeen
at two point seven percent, which was not unusual for them.
They had job growth of two point four percent in
twenty seventeen, which was typical for a state that was
already in the top ten regularly and a top ten
destination for people moving in from other states. In a
(12:31):
short seven years of total Democrat run policies, seven years,
Colorado has gone from third in the nation for personal
income growth to thirty ninth in the nation for personal
income growth. They currently have the sixth worst regulatory burden
in the nation, as opposed to being in the lower
(12:54):
half of regulatory burdens back just seven or eight years ago.
In March they had the highest second highest unemployment rate,
which was not an atypical month. Recently, they had job
growth of point one seven percent from March twenty fourth
March of twenty four to March of twenty five, which
(13:14):
was forty third in the nation and a bottom ten
destination for people moving in from other states. You literally,
in seven years worth of policies, have taken a state
that was in the top five in economic growth and
doing all of the things they needed to be doing
to continue that economic growth, and you have somehow squandered
(13:36):
it all because of overregulation, overburdening the people.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I know Pallenteer just left. They moved there five years ago.
Any wait, yeah, we're done.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
In five years you got rid of a company that
has thousands of jobs.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Policies matter. This is not utopia.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
We all still have to have work, we all still
have to have personal responsibility, We all still have to
make our way in life. We cannot allow everybody to
take over and fifty one percent to determine that the
other forty nine percent have to give them everything they
have just because that's what's fair. That same stupid policies
(14:20):
that New York, the New Yorkers voted for when they
voted in Mandamie are they're getting what they voted for,
good and hard right now. He I don't know how
many of you guys saw it, but I saw a
video that Mandonnie did on tax Day where he stood
in front of Ken Griffin's apartment in New York.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Ken Griffin owned Citadel Investing Citadel Hedge Fund.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
And he paid two hundred and thirty eight million dollars
for this apartment back in twenty eighteen. At the time,
it was the most expensive property sold in the United
States of America. Ken Griffin, after he saw all the
things going down in New York and COVID, decided to
move his operation to Miami, and with it took thousands
of jobs and millions of millions and millions of dollars
(15:07):
worth of income. Ken Griffin, at the time and his
and Citadel had been paid, had paid in a three
year period something like two point three billion dollars in
taxes to the City of New York. He also gave
them over six hundred and fifty million dollars worth of
charitable notations to New York organizations, and so Mandammi films
(15:28):
in front of his house and says, yeah, well.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
We're going to put a pieded hair tax.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
It's attacks on second homes that are worth more than
five million dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
If you don't live in the city, we're going to
tax you even.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
More so in response to that, in response to literally
going on X or Twitter or whatever it is and
filming yourself standing in front of a man who busted
his hump to be where he is. Ken Griffin started
trading when he was in his college dorm, and he
(15:59):
built that by himself. We started it by himself. He
eventually built it with a lot more people.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But he built that.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Company into a multi billion dollar hundreds of billions of
dollars worth of hedge fund trading, and he created that well.
But he also gave away six hundred and fifty million
dollars just to New York organizations.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Do you think that if.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
He'd paid it more and paid two point three billion
dollars in taxes to New York, him and his company
and the employees that he has two point three billion
dollars worth of their money went to fund things in
New York City. Now, because you went and targeted the man,
he had a project where he was going to invest
(16:43):
six billion dollars in a project in New York City
that was also going to bring in twenty thousand permanent
jobs twenty five hundred, I'm sorry, twenty five hundred permanent jobs,
not twenty five hundred permanent jobs.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
And.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Probably another two billion dollars worth of taxes that would
have been paid over a few years by the people
that were making the money. Let me tell you something.
I've said this before. The rich ones are paying their
fair share. They are paying an enormous amount of the
overall tax burden, whether it be property taxes, sales taxes,
income taxes, it doesn't matter. People that have the money
(17:21):
are the ones that are spending it and propping it up.
We all have jobs because of those people, and you're
going to continue to target them and demonize them like
they didn't earn that money and they're not giving back.
Jeff Bezos has filed to sell four point five billion
dollars worth of his stock four point five billion dollars
(17:45):
now it's his money.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
You can do what he wants.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
But on that four point five billion dollars, he will
write a check for somewhere around one point twenty five
billion dollars to the US government for income taxes. It'll
be long term, it'll be long term gains at twenty
four percent. So he's going to write a check for
twenty four percent of the four point five billion dollar.
What in the world do you think he should be paying?
What is the fair share? The whole thing boils down
(18:12):
to policies. Policies matter, and when you continue to vote
for people whose economic awareness is that of an alligator
in the swamp, you have no idea why or how
it all actually works. Because if you did, you would
know that you don't punish people for economic growth, that
(18:36):
capital will flee and go somewhere else.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
They don't have to put up with your crap. They
just never learned.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Socialism has not worked anywhere. It's been tried nowhere. It
has killed more people. And it's basically socialism's communism, just
spelled differently. All right, This is Bonos cars, rants about
lots of other stuff brought to you by Chevrolet.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
You at GMC and Cadillaca, Murphysboro. Come on back.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he has
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
For all of your automotive needs call six one.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Five six four five one zero seven five or online
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysboro dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
All right, welcome back everybody, and thank you Lord once
again for.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Not allowing a madman to murder another human being who
happens to be our president.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And a couple of things I want to talk about
about this incident last weekend. Number one, all you people
on the left that are screaming about toxic masculinity, go
watch the videos of everything that was happening inside that
ballroom and while it was happening, and look at all
(20:21):
the men who did nothing but shield their wives instantly
with their own bodies that were willing. There was a
secret service agent that jumped out of the crowd and
immediately placed himself right in front of President Trump. Now
it wasn't his wife, obviously, but he was also over
that while President Trump was over protecting Millennia. I saw
(20:43):
Pete Hegseth protecting his wife. I saw Steven Miller protecting
his wife. I saw all these men immediately surrounding their
wives and making sure they were safe and putting their
body in front of the danger. That's what masculinity is.
There's nothing toxic about that. That is being willing to
(21:03):
Who's that guy on the Titanic, that Billy what's his
name played? That was the rich guy that was with
the girl that Leo ended up with, and he was
willing to fake being either sick or have a kid
or something. I think he took somebody's kid if I
remember the movie correctly, and use that as a way
(21:23):
to get on one of the lifeboats before the women
and children could get on. That's not a man. That's
a coward and so toxic. What you describe as toxic masculinity,
I describe as heroism and the willingness to put yourself
in danger to save others, the same thing that many
of our law enforcement people do, the same thing that
(21:44):
our armed forces do. Being willing to step up and
be the man and take over and handle a situation
that needs to be handled.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
That does not mean that my wife does not have
the ability to take care of herself. She absolutely does,
as almost all other women that I know have the
ability to take care of themselves, probably better than we can.
But the instinct is to be a safe haven to
protect and we need more of that. And this demonizing
(22:17):
young men and demonizing the willingness to put your body
on the line or to put your yourself in danger
to save others. We need to stop demonizing that because
it matters. But in addition to that, what it also
did again this weekend was bring out the nastiest human beings.
(22:42):
Two things Norah O'Donnell interviewing the president the day after
it happened and bringing up the manifesto. Let me back
up a second, because this goes into that. First of all,
you guys, there's a manifesto he wrote out exactly what
his motive was, and literally forty eight hours after it happened,
and at least twenty four hours after having the manifesto
(23:03):
that said this is I was targeting the Trump administration officials.
I was doing it because he's a pedophile, rapist something else.
And then Norah O'Donnell gets on TV National TV reads
those words, trying to plant that seed that that's what
the president actually is, when it's absolutely never been charged,
(23:27):
nothing like that's ever happened.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
And by the way, let me also back up and
tell you.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Eric Swalwell this matters in this context. Eric Swalwell was
a deep state operative, right. He was a congressman for
since twenty ten, I think a long time.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
He was a media darling. He was all over the
media everywhere.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
He was leading the polling for governor of California. The
deep state took him down in seven days start to finish.
He was leading the polls for governor of California, and
within seven days he was resigned from Congress, never to
(24:13):
be heard from again and having to deal with a
bunch of legal problems with that in mind, seven days,
you think they still have something on Trump. It's been
ten years, and don't give me this crap about these
fake impeachments that none of the I got something to
talk about about the impeachment too. But seven days they
(24:34):
took down a congressman that's been in there fifteen years.
Ten years they've been trying to take Trump down. And
you think they still have something on him.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Come on, use your brain.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
So back to the manifesto that all of the people
that I see, from nurses to teachers to doctors literally
pitching fits and tantrums because they didn't kill him, openly
wishing to kill a human being. Forty two percent of
(25:09):
all of people on the left who identify as either
extremely liberal or very liberal, forty two percent of the
people identifying as extremely liberal or very liberal actually said
that political violence is necessary sometimes. From that same study,
(25:31):
only five percent I'm sorry, nine percent of people who
identify as very conservative or mostly extremely conservative or mostly
conservative whatever it was, same one forty two percent of
liberals think that political violence is okay. Nine percent of
people on the right think that political violence is okay.
(25:57):
If that doesn't tell you where all of this resides.
The man has had four different attempts at assassination, the
butler one, the one with Ryan Ruth in the bushes
at mar A Lago when he was playing golf, the
one yesterday this past week, and there was a fourth one.
It just so happened that they shot the shooter at
mar A Lago who busted through mar A Lago with
(26:18):
some shotguns, but he.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Wasn't Trump wasn't there at the time.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Four times they have tried to murder this man, and
you're still out there saying you're sorry he missed. Can
you imagine going into a hospital. You've been in a
car wreck, and they take you to the emergency room
and you go in and I don't know, you've got
a shattered pelvis, but you just so happened to have
(26:45):
on a pair of underwear that say Trump on him
something I don't know, maga whatever. And the nurses on
duty happened to be some of these nurses that have
filmed some of this stuff wishing for the death of
not only Trump but any of his supporters. She happens
to be the nurse in the emergency room cuts off
(27:07):
your pants because they got to get to your hip
and sees that underwear.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Do you feel safe with her?
Speaker 4 (27:11):
She literally has been on social media saying she wished
everybody who voted for Trump died and that we were
all horrible human beings. Hassan Piker, who is one of
the darlings of the left right now openly called for
the murder of President Trump, said that he believed that
(27:33):
Luigi Mangoni who murder a man, shooting him in the back.
Hassan Piker openly advocates for Luigi Mangione to get off
scot free because he was doing a service to humanity.
And you want to tell me this is a both
sides issue, There's not even remotely close to anything that
(27:56):
can make this a both sides issue. This is one sided.
And the political violence and the fact that the people
on the left who have called everybody who voted for
Trump nazis, the gestapo, that called all of his administrations
the same thing, continue to do it, continue to say
they're existential.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Threats to the society.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Just ramp up the rhetoric until you get crazy people
who tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh, who tried to kill
Steve Scalise, who shot up all of the Republicans at
the baseball field, who have tried to assassinate this president
four different times.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
You don't want a civil war. I don't want a
civil war. I want no part of anything like that
to destroy this country for what it doesn't it's not necessary.
But what I do want is for some people to recognize.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
That it wouldn't go well for one side if there
was one. Most of the people in the military reside
on one side of the aisle. I'm not saying ah,
I'm saying that there's a larger percentage. Most of the
people in All of the first responders typically have lean
one side. All of the farmers tend to lean one side,
(29:13):
all of the people who drive trucks tend to lean
one side. All of the working class, which is what
Trump won this past election with. Those are the people
that keep America running. If you're in the inner cities
and all you know is that your food comes in
this nice, neat, little sterile package. Every day that you
walk into the grocery store, there's just another one there
for you. But you have no idea what it takes
(29:35):
to get that food there, or you have no idea
what it takes to go out and actually plant the seed,
or to drive the truck, or to do the manual
labor necessary. You can't keep this place running. We would
shut you down inside of five days. You'd have no food,
no water, no supply lines, no nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
It wouldn't it.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It wouldn't even be fair.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
You don't want that, smoke, I don't none of us
should want that. But if you don't find.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
A way to get your crazies under control and stop
this madness you need. You should be praying that he
didn't get to Trump and that he didn't kill Trump,
because I can't tell you what's going to happen if
he did. And by the way, this bringing up January
sixth all the time, All those people that were at
(30:27):
that rally on January sixth, if they don't wanted to
kill anybody, they would have brought their guns. That wasn't
what happened. Nobody had a weapon. You want to talk
about a riot and the worst day in the history
of the United State? No, no, no, what are you
even close? It was a bunch of people who.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Look, did they trespass yep? Did they need so they
got in trouble? Yep?
Speaker 4 (30:43):
But did they Were they there to commit violence? Didn't
look like it to me. One person that got shot
was Ashley Babbitt. She was unarmed.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Quit both sides of this issue. It's not a both
sides issue, all right.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
This is Bonos car ranch about lots of other stuff.
Wat to you by Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Of Murphysboro, with over thirty years in the auto industry
he has deciding to pull back the curtain and show
you what's really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to
(31:28):
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 (31:40):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
All right, welcome back everybody.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
I'm gonna do this last segment a little different than
I normally do. I've got three different topics. I'm gonna
kind of split it up into because they interested me
my show. So in Michigan, there was a bill HB
fifty four to twenty five that was introduced by a
(32:08):
Republican recently and the House Judiciary Committee in Michigan they
were considering this bill, and the bill would prohibit registered
sex offenders from working at places like primarily that primarily
provide services to minors, including child care facilities, summer camps,
tutoring services, martial arts or dance studios, and youth sports programs.
(32:33):
So if you were a registered sex offender in Michigan,
they were making sure that you didn't work.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Around a bunch of children. That was law. It seems
fairly common sense.
Speaker 4 (32:47):
Look, my weapon, I've had this philosophical discussion about being
on the Registered Sex Offenders List. We've seen kids that
got put on there that were eighteen years old because
they turned eighteen and they were still dating the same
fifteen her sixteen year old young lady that they were
dating three weeks ago, and somehow the parents got mad
and so they filed charges against him. And now he's eighteen,
(33:08):
so it's statutory and he's on the sex offenders list.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
I don't think that I think that's wrong.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
I just there are differences, different ways to get on there,
and so this isn't a blanket applies to every single person,
but it should be that it's definitely much much, much
much harder to work around children if you've been put.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
On this registered sex offenders list.
Speaker 4 (33:30):
All right, So with that background, not one Democrat voted
for it, not one. Every Democrat voted that they should
be allowed to interact with a bunch of children. Something
about that just does not sound copasetic to me. But
I don't live in Michigan, So policies, policies, policies, policies,
(33:54):
forget the human beings, whether you like them or you
don't like them, All that matters is the policies that
they're trying to put forth. Will they keep you safe?
Will they give us a good economic footing? Will they
allow us to pay down the national's forty trillion dollar debt?
Will they allow everybody to live the American dream and
grow up or at least have an opportunity for the
American dream. There's no guarantee you're going to catch it,
(34:16):
but there is a guarantee that you at least have
the opportunity if you take it and you apply yourself,
if you don't use any excuses, and you just get.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
It done, all right.
Speaker 4 (34:31):
The next subject I wanted to cover, Well, I don't
know if you guys caught this or not, because it harmeat.
Dylan is doing a great job, I think, based on
what I've read and see and what you're doing those
kind of things. But one of her jobs has been
trying to clean up the voter rolls. Now, there is
(34:52):
no good logical reason to me for a state to
say we're not handing over our voting roles the federal
government elections. We should be able to look at the
voter rolls. So Harmey Dylan. She's been trying to clean
them up. She's gotten about a third of the states
to cooperate and center the voter rolls. The other twenty nine,
(35:13):
including all including the District of Columbia, they all refuse
to hand them over, so she's suing them to get
the voter records.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Now.
Speaker 4 (35:21):
That means she's only gotten what's that twenty one, So
twenty one of the fifty states have handed over their
voter rolls. Again, I'm pretty sure if you're not willing
to hand them over, you know there's something on there
you don't want them to find. Otherwise there would be
no reason not to hand it over. But here's what
she found. Out of just twenty one states so far,
(35:43):
they've been able to run records, about sixty million of
them so far. In the findings, they're nuts, all right.
They found three hundred and fifty thousand dead people currently
listed on voter rolls across those jurisdictions within any active roles.
So in just twenty one states there were three hundred
and fifty thousand dead people on the roles. That means
(36:06):
that if you extrapolate that out, there's probably close to
a million dead people still on voter rolls out there.
When you consider that the twenty twenty election swung by
about fifty thousand votes total, a million people dead on
the voter rolls that have the opportunity to still vote
is a game changer. They also, by the way, found
(36:29):
that there were twenty five thousand individuals that were on
those voter records that have had no citizenship records, and
so if you extrapolate that out, that's another fifty thousand.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Of human beings on voter rolls that aren't supposed to
be there. And we're told all the time the most safe,
secure elections in the world. Great, then why are you
fighting it so hard to say we need to have
ID I saw a tweet the other day. It was
like a meme and that ladies like, happy tax Day.
(37:04):
You can fill out you can mail your taxes in
today with no postmark on them and the IRS.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Won't penalize you at all.
Speaker 4 (37:12):
And then she said, oh, wait, that's not for tax Day, that's.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Just for voting.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
I thought, that's true, right, you can somehow this mail
voting that goes on for a week afterwards. Nobody knows
where the it's not that hard. We didn't have this
problem with the elections until sixteen when people started questioning
the Russia collusion, and we know that was a complete
utter hoax.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
That I'm going to talk about next week again.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
It is absolutely astounding to me that it's constantly You're
constantly finding ways to fight cleaning the voter rolls up
or making sure that our elections are just free and fair.
That's all we all ask for. I've said this on
this show two different times when the vote came in
and didn't come our way. I want the president to
(38:03):
be successful because I believe in the United States of
America and he is the president for all the United States.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
It is what it is. We lost, move on, but
I want to know that I lost fair and square,
not cheating. So last, but.
Speaker 4 (38:22):
Certainly not least, Gavin Newsom is running for president. I
don't see any way that at this point that he's
not going to run for president.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
He is positioning himself.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
He wrote a book, he's doing everything he can to
try to clean up his image, although he's doing a terrible,
terrible job. And I don't stilln't understand this Trump arrangement syndrome.
You guys are out there campaigning about anti Trump. Anti Trump.
You know he's not going to be running this time, right,
So why are you worried about campaigning against Trump? He's
not your opponent. Stupidest strategy I've ever seen. Tell me
(38:54):
what you're gonna do for the economy. Tell me what
you're gonna do. Oh wait, you can't because you've destroyed
the California economy with all of your overregulations, over burdens
and taxes. But on top of that, there was a
story that came out the other day. You know, they're
trying to pass a law that reporting on fraud in California.
(39:16):
It's called the Nick Shirley Act. Nick Shirley's a guy
that broke the Somali fraud in Minnesota. A young kid
that's twenty three years old just does a YouTube channel.
They're literally trying to pass a law that would penalize
Nick Shirley for exposing the fraud in California.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
These people are as corrupt as you can possibly get.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
But where do you hear this?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
The State Control or Controller Mark Malia Cohen, who is
the top fiscal watchdog for the entire state of California,
had a report the other day where they conceded that
required audits I'm reading from the report they conceded that
(39:58):
required audits are falling by the wayside. Instead of funding us,
they cut us. They keep cutting our auditing teams. So
you're literally cutting the auditors out so that they can't
audit you because you won't fund the office to have
enough auditors.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
But guess what they did find. Let me see if
I can read it here.
Speaker 4 (40:22):
Make sure it's the California State Auditor and Legislative Analysts
Office have repeatedly flagg delays in financial reporting, even high risk,
in action at issues, and inaction on audit recommendations, adding
up to at least four hundred and twenty five billion
dollars that in the last three years that's missing.
Speaker 3 (40:47):
Let me make sure I get this right.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
You're running a state that has four hundred and twenty
that can't close a budget hole. You're the highest tax
state in the nation. Well maybe not, maybe New York
gets there. I don't know, But what I can tell
you is, if you've lost four hundred and twenty five
billion dollars of the taxpayer's money and you refuse to
let the audit to fund the auditors so they can
go find out where this money is.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Or trace where it went.
Speaker 4 (41:14):
You're grifting everybody in the state four hundred and twenty
five billion dollars one state, and you're telling me they
don't they still need to raise taxes.
Speaker 3 (41:27):
And you fools are out there saying, tax the rich,
tax the rich.
Speaker 4 (41:30):
Tax for what they lost four hundred and twenty five
billion dollars. Do I have to pay more taxes just
to give it away to their friends? They hold a
Roman spear to my body and say, give me the taxes,
or we're going to kill you, or we're going to
jail you and get when you give it to me,
I'm going to go distribute your money that you worked
(41:50):
hard for to all of my friends and NGOs that
need to get rich. Now, how about no, how about
I don't like that plan? Do I get a say
so in this? I do because I moved to Tennessee
instead of moving to California. But Californians who are out
there and they're they look, Trump still got forty percent
of the vote. So it's not like there's no people
(42:11):
on the right out in California.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
There are quite a few.
Speaker 4 (42:16):
But even with that you, and you're not furious for
for here's the problem. Nobody finds out about it. The
report that was said there were four hundred and twenty
five billion dollars missing or lost. Nobody reads about it
because the Sacramento b or whatever it is, none of this,
the Los Angeles Times, all of those, they're not reporting
it because they're in on the grift too. They get
(42:37):
access to the politicians and the power and all the
other stuff. While the politicians continued to get rich by
grifting off of our taxes. While people out there continue
to scream tax the rich, how about we just quit
losing the money.
Speaker 3 (42:51):
We've got enough. We do not have a revenue issue.
Speaker 4 (42:55):
When Ma'm Donnie wanted to raise New York's budget from
one hundred and twenty one billion to one hundred two
twenty seven billion, that's just six more billion dollars to
run the state or the city so that I can
go get my pet peeve projects. By the way, demand's
building a government run grocery store. It's going to cost
thirty billion or thirty million dollars to get open and
(43:15):
won't open.
Speaker 3 (43:16):
For three or four years.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
It is five to seven times the cost of what
a normal grocery store would cost to open in the
city of New York.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
That's that's socialism.
Speaker 4 (43:30):
Going to take us five years longer and five times
more money to have the exact same thing. And oh,
by the way, we're going to have lower prices on
just a few things. Policies matter, people, And if you're
voting for people who have the wrong idea of wrong education,
don't understand economics, don't understand public safety or the psychology
(43:50):
of it or whatever, don't vote for them, because we're
we got to do something in reverse course here, this
is nuts four hundred and twenty five billion dollars missing.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Nobody cares. I'd care, all right, this is Bonos Cars obviously.
Speaker 4 (44:05):
Gets worked up about stuff brought to a Chevrolet, Buick,
GMC and Cadillac of Murphysborough.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Have a great week.
