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

needs call six one five six four five one zero

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
All right, good morning everybody. So glad to have everybody
that tuned in this morning. Sincerely appreciate it. I often
wonder why anybody listens to me. Maybe there's not that
many people out there listening to me. But for those
of you that are, thanks, I appreciate it. Make me
feel wanted. So I'm really over this weather too, by
(00:57):
the way, this neurotic old warm, cold warm. It's always
like this, and I keep thinking we're done with the
last cold snap, and then nope, Hey, good news, We've
got another one. It's not gonna get higher than sixty
degrees for a weekend. We're going to talk about that
climate change thing here later on in the show. But
when do when do people learn from their lessons? When
(01:23):
do people, especially leftist politicians that have seen the results
of their actions many many times, and yet they have
to be insane by the definition of an insanity that
we've all heard, which is doing the same thing and
(01:46):
expecting different results. By that definition of insanity, there are
a lot of insane people on the left because they
keep doing the same things and somehow think they're doing
the right place thing, even though that thing they're doing
turns out to be the wrong thing in hindsight, in retrospect,
(02:06):
in whatever you want to look at it. If they
say hindsight's twenty twenty, it apparently is really blurry for
a lot of people because they need some glasses because
they can't see two days before. What I'm talking about
specifically is Elizabeth Warrens. Spirit Airlines went out of business
(02:27):
this past week. Spirit Airlines was an airline that a
lot allowed people, you know, think about air travel five, ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago. It costs more to fly than it
does today because of some of these low cost airlines
that figured out that they run on really really really
thin margins. They don't have all of the amenities that
(02:49):
some of the bigger airlines have, but they also make
it affordable for people to be able to see their
loved ones on the other side of the country, or
to just have a vacation that is literally affordable because
it's not costing you three thousand dollar dollar to fly
you and your kids someplace. That money saved on the airlines,
there's the money that they can spend to do other
things and enjoy their lives. And so when Spirit wanted
(03:10):
to merge with Jet Blue three years ago, two years ago,
they literally went to the government said we can't stay
in business. Our model doesn't work if there are any
shocks to the system. We need to merge with Jet Blue.
And in the idiotic response from the Biden administration and
especially Elizabeth Warren and Pete but a judge, however you
(03:32):
say it, they were proud of the fact that they
killed the merger and said stupid stuff like it's gonna
give people more choices. They're gonna have more choices to
fly if we don't let them merge. If we let
them merge, it's gonna reduce the choices and it's a
win for the consumers, and blah blah blah blah blah.
How's that working out for you now? Because seventeen thousand people.
(03:54):
You know, those people you keep advocating for and saying
you're for the poor people and the rich should pay
their fair share and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Those are the people.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Those seventeen thousand people that were working for Spirit Airlines
are now out of business. They don't have a job.
They're looking for jobs because you killed the merger. Why
it made no sense. Sean Duffy, the new Secretary of Transportation,
who replaced the most incompetent person for that job, Pete
Butter Judge, who had run no more than I think
(04:23):
it was Indianapolis or South Bend, Indiana or someplace like that.
That was his top job, was running like twenty seven buses,
and you gave him the Secretary of Transportation job. The
man had no qualifications whatsoever. You put him in there.
He literally starts calling roads racist and bridges racist, along
with an auto pen president who has mushed for brains.
(04:44):
And you guys literally destroyed seventeen thousand people's lives, not
to mention all those other people's lives that you try
to destroy with the Keystone pipeline and all the other
jobs killing things that you guys did constantly. It absolutely
is amazing to me that they cannot see that their
policies are the reasons for all of those things happening.
(05:07):
But in addition to that, last week, Brooke Robbins, who
is the Secretary of GO I can't Secretary of agriculture.
That's what it was. Agriculture Secretary of Agriculture who happens
(05:27):
to run the SNAP funds, right, they're the ones that
determine the benefits for people receiving food assistance. But last
week one state, in one state, they eliminated where they
found fourteen thousand individuals that were receiving SNAP benefits were
(05:48):
driving luxury vehicles. Fourteen thousand people in one state getting
SNAP benefits that were driving luxury vehicles. And let me
just give you a hint of some of these vehicles.
Three B three Ferraris, eleven Lamborghinis, fifty nine Maseratis, one
hundred and forty one Purses, two hundred and forty four
Alpha Romeos, three hundred and six land Rovers, and twenty
(06:11):
one hundred Teslas, just to name a few of the
cars that people were driving. So, if money is fungible,
if you've got enough money to buy a car like
that you shouldn't be on food assistance because the rest
of us slaps are out here working every day and
trying to make ends meet without taking insistance from the government.
You're scamming all of the rest of the taxpayers, and
by the way, that was supposed to be for the
(06:31):
people who truly needed it. And if you've got a
Bentley or Maserati or anything, then you're making one thousand
dollars a month, fifteen hundred dollars a month car payments
on or worse, you had the money to pay cash,
and you're still receiving tax benefits. That's pure and outright fraud,
and it is the constant policies of the people on
the left who keep allowing the fraud to happen because
(06:54):
they know that as long as they can keep that
stuff rolling, the people will vote for them so that
they can get more free stock. The problem with that
free stuff is nothing is free. You and I are
paying for it. They're not, and yet they can drive it.
I can't afford a Bentley, I can't afford a Maserati.
And when things were even worse, and they have been
really bad at times in my life, then I tightened
(07:17):
my belt and literally used a tiny little bit of
shaving cream, would eat beans and weenies. I do whatever
it took, but I wasn't going to take assistance until
it was absolutely necessary, and I couldn't do it. It's
for people who can't work and can't afford to work.
Able bodied people shouldn't be getting food benefits. And that's
(07:38):
the other thing Trump Trump instituted that with the One
Big Beautiful Bill, and I think I read the other
day where four point two million people have now been
taken off of snap benefits because they were able by
to and able to work. All right, come on back
after the break. This is Bonos Cars brought to you
by Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac of Murpury's Borough.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So the more stuff that
gets uncovered by the Trump administration. And like Trump or not,
I don't really care one way or the other. What
I care about is that he's also got I think
it's nine cabinet members that are incredibly competent and do
(09:01):
a great job. From Secretary of Treasury Scott Descent to
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
He has put people. One of the talents Trump has
is the ability to spot talent and people, understand people's
weaknesses and strengths. I've said this many times in sales
meetings and told my managers as many times. If you
(09:23):
take Tom Brady and make him the middle linebacker of
the New England Patriots, and you take whoever they had
at middle linebacker through all those years at Tom Brady's quarterback,
and take that middle linebacker and make him the quarterback,
the Patriots don't win a game, much less six Super
Bowls right.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Great players in the wrong spot.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And so one of the talents from a good coaches
being able to spot what talents other people have so
that you can put them in the right position to win.
Trump does that and by all measures, we are winning
in a lot of places. But more importantly, we're uncovering
all of the things that should never have happened under
the Biden administration. You know, I remember Barack Obama one
(10:05):
time bragging that his administration was the least scandal rigged
or least amount of scandals than the entire administration, which
was complete bunk. But there aren't any scandals going on
in the Trump administration. There are resistance people who want
to tell you that they're actually hitler or fascist. Oh,
by the way, while they're currently trying to elect a
(10:27):
man who called himself a known communist, had a Nazi
tattoo on his chest, and is running for the US
Senate out of Maine against Susan Collins and also made
the comment. The same man, Graham Platner, made the same
comment that if women need to grow up and be smarter,
if they don't want to be sexually assaulted, you can
go look it all up. I'm not making any of
(10:48):
this up. That's who they're that's who they're putting out
to be one of the top senators in the in
the or one of the one hundred senators in the nation,
and I'm like, you got to be kidnaming. You're calling
up you're calling the people that support the administration currently
Nazis and fascists and all that while literally electing or
trying to elect and appointing a known Nazi fascist that
(11:11):
is a communist and about of it. It's amazing to me. Anyways,
back to what I was saying, the Biden administration did
so many things that were so shockingly bad that it's
almost amazing. But one of the things that I was
reading about the other day, the town Hall, which is
one of the sites I read a lot of, had
(11:33):
an undercover investigation short of like James o'keef from Wakeiff
Media used to do and still does, and trapping people
they get people to talk. So this lady was having
or somebody was having lunch with a Angela Cassiola, who
was a former chief of human resources for Children's Home
(11:54):
of Kingston in New York, and they were talking about
the four hundred and forty eight thousand unaccompanied alien chill
ldren that came into the United States during the Biden administration.
So in Trump's last year of his first term, there
were like seventeen thousand unaccompanied minors that made it across
the border. And we're not going to turn kids back
loops and put them back in the Mexican desert. That's
not how we do things here. But seventeen thousand of
(12:17):
them came in. In Biden's first year, there were one
hundred and twenty one thousand, and the second year is
like one hundred and twenty eight thousand, and a third
year topped out like one hundred and forty thousand. But overall,
there were four hundred and forty eight thousand unaccompanied children
that made it into this country without any parents. There's
this there's a thing out there called the Cloward Piven strategy,
(12:39):
and it was developed by these two guys, mister Cloward
and mister Piven, who and their basic strategy is overwhelmed
the system. If you want to change the system, overwhelm
it's to the point that it can't keep up and
you have it breaks. And that's exactly what the Biden
administration was trying to do with this whole thing. Except
the problem with that is it was these four hundred
and forty eight thousand children that got the raw end
(13:02):
of the deal so that the Democrats could maintain power
you let these kids come in and they were literally
being stuck. The Office for Refugee Resettlement ORR is the
clearing house that sets out all the money that goes
to all of these NGOs that were supposed to take
care of these miners. But not only were they take
they were given contracts to everybody because nobody could keep
(13:26):
up with that with one hundred and twenty one thousand
unaccompanied children. But she goes on to say, let me
see if I can. Uh. They could care less how
the miner felt. It was just, hey, the miner has
got to get there, and that's it. The faster we
(13:46):
can do it, the better. Darlene Seeley, the senior administrator
on duty for Berkshire Farm and Farm Center and Services
for Youth, said the Biden administration seized children's passports at
the border and incredibly threw them away. They did acknowledge
that that was their policy. They threw the passports of
these children away. First of all, if you've got a passport,
(14:07):
why are you trying to make it into the United
States illegally?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
But they go on to talk about it and they said.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yolanda Gozoge is a project manager at the Providencia group
which handled calls to ORR said children were helped through
Mexico by cartel coyotes and then owed them a debt.
So the thought is, when they get to where they're going,
they're going to be released to a sponsor that already
knows that they owe the cartel money. In a particularly
shocking moment, I'm reading from the article here. In a
(14:36):
particularly shocking moment, Natasha Write, a supervisory senior oversight advisor
for ARR, acknowledged that hotel staff and National guardsmen were
sleeping with the miners in the hotels in the video right,
not aslong as the journalist said. Children being sent to
folks that were we knew were not their relatives because
(14:57):
the process was rushed so much. We have cases of
children that we know were sent to traffickers. That goes
on to talk about the majority of the children her
agency handle didn't speak Spanish. They were from Africa, Italy, Ukraine,
New Delhi and those places, and we had Samandarin and
some Japanese. Never forget, those were children that you were
(15:22):
using as pawns in your game of let's see if
we can rig the system and overwhelming enough to gain
power forever it is absolutely mind blowing that the people
on the left that are supposed to be so compassionate
and so forgiving and so welcoming, and the Party of
Inclusivity and all of that would be that way to
children and not be in an uproar that almost a
(15:45):
half a million children, a lot of them lost being
found now by the Trump administration and some of the
people doing the good work at Homeland Security. But we'll
never find them all. And when you do, even if
you did, what is the trauma they've been put through
by being trafficked into the United States and then trafficked
in the United States. Sick sick people, Sick people that
(16:09):
would would traffic the kids, Sick people that would buy
the kids, Sick people that would be in the government
and use those children for power, Sick sick human beings
that don't care about anything but themselves. I don't want
to hear any more of this talk about compassion. And
we're here for the for the people who are down
(16:29):
and out. No you're not. You're here to gain more power,
and you'll do it on the backs of the people
who don't know any better or don't have the ability
to stand up for themselves. But then, in addition to that,
the Biden administration, there was an article the other day
that came out that said the Biden administration was giving
(16:51):
Planned Parenthood small business loans and using code names to
hide them. They knew Planned Parenthood wasn't eligible, so they
had to they had to hide the transactions. They created
a code name for the organization and to hide their
discussions from FOYA or Freedom of Information Act requests, which.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Was violating the law.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
By the way, they gave as much as ninety million
dollars inforgivable, which means they're not really loans, they're just
you're just handing the money in forgivable small business loans
to Planned Parenthood despite it being ineligible as a big
business and Biden's SPA administrator hid its actions by referring
to the abortion provider as been Ghazi in emails. Now,
(17:30):
isn't that really odd that they would pick the name Benghazi,
which was the one of the big travesties during the
Biden administration where Hillary Clinton did not get involved and
people died, Americans died because of their incompetence and ineptness.
And then she basically threw her hands up in a
congressional hearing and said, what difference does it make at
this point? Really, lady, people died. You're still going on
(17:52):
with your life and the decisions you made caused people
to die, and their loved ones can't say what difference
does it make now? It makes a big difference in
their lives. But I wonder why they use the uh,
the name Ghazi to hide what were basically illegal transactions
(18:14):
when the federal government is breaking their own laws to
hide stuff from the taxpayers.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
The system is broken.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And I don't care what all those people on the
left say about Trump and the all the fraud and blah.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
No, No, if you really look, all of that took place
under the Biden administration. It was their last gas effort
to make sure that they contain They maintained the power
for as long as they could, because that's all it
is for them.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It's about the power.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Absolutely sickening to me. Not only are you breaking the
law by giving Planned Parenthood money, but you're losing five
hundred thousand children to traffickers. Insane. All right, This bono
cars brought you by Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac of Murphreysboro,
come see us.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
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 Murphreysboro dot com.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
All right, welcome back everybody. I don't know why I
do that, then all right, my wife makes fun of
me for doing it. But as soon as to be
my my stick, my habit, I don't do it intentionally.
It's just kind of my opening salvo, I guess. Anyways, I,
as you probably have guessed, read quite a bit and
(20:04):
spending an inordinate amount of my time reading and trying
to learn as much as I can about everything. That's
just part of my nature. I like to learn, and
I think when you stop learning, you start dying, and
I don't want to do that yet. So while I
was reading, there was this there's an article by a
gentleman by the name of Eric Florak that I read,
and it's so good and concise that. I figured i'd
(20:28):
just read it to you because I could tell you
it's mine, but it's not. These are his ideas, but
they're all true, and I agree with one hundred percent
of them. And he puts it in words that make
it easy to go along with. So he talks about
He said, here's some things worth considering about where things
have been going in America over the last forty years.
I found this collection of absurdities hiding in my archive drive,
dated twenty twenty. I'll pass it on to you. So
(20:49):
here they are the absurdities of the left and self
contradicting absurdities of the left. All right, here we go.
If a dude pretends to be a woman, you're inquired,
You're required to pretend with him.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Somehow.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's Unamerican for the Census to count how many Americans
are in America. Russians influencing our elections are bad, but
illegals voting in our elections are good. It was cool
for Joe Biden to blackmail the president of Ukraine, but
it's an impeachable offense. Donald Trump even inquires about it.
Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen
is old enough to vote and register for the draft,
(21:25):
so you can die for your country that won't let
you drink. People who have never owned slaves should pay
slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. Inflammatory
rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
People who have never been to college should pay the
debts of college students who took out huge loans for
their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but
(21:49):
you'd better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must
go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gangbangers
and drug dealers who jump the Southern fence or welcome.
Five billion dollars for border security is too expensive, but
one and a half trillion dollars for free healthcare is not.
(22:10):
If you cheat to get into college, you go to prison,
but if you cheat to get into the country, you
go to college for free. People who say there's no
such thing as gender are demanding a female president. We
see other countries going socialists and collapsing, but it seems
like a great plan for us. Some people are held
responsible for things that happened before they were born, and
(22:32):
other people are not held responsible for what they're doing.
Right now, criminals are catching release to hurt more people,
but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of
their rights. And pointing out all of this hypocrisy somehow
makes us racists. That pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, here's a couple more. I'llhan Omar and her brother
husband ran a winery when the Quran explicitly prohibits alcohol.
Time was we used to ensure people coming to live
in America we're free from illness. Now we see your
California Governor Gavin Newsom funding an NGO tasked with bringing
in HIV immigrants and government run school students cannot read,
(23:23):
but they can make signs and carry them to.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
No King's protests.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Absurdities self contradicting absurdities of the left. You cannot, I'll
add one. You can't say your for autonomy and body
the autonomy for everybody and still be okay with abortions.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It's just there's a body there.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
So I don't understand it. I don't understand the logic.
I don't understand the thought process. I don't understand how
you can mentally twist yourself into a pretzel to get
to some of the conclusions that a lot of these
people have. And it's got to be the government run
schools have indoctrinated them to the point that they just
(24:13):
don't they just can't think for themselves, because it feels
like to me that it's all basic common sense things.
Stephen Smith, Stephen A. Smith, the guy from ESPN who
I like smart as a whip. He really is. He
is kind of like Bill Maher. Bill Maher is an
(24:35):
avowed leftist, but he still has some common sense and
can still call out the crap that needs to be
called out, and say, if you're cheering for Charlie Kirk
to die, or you are sad that they missed on
President Trump again, you've lost all sight of humanity. You're
not you don't have any humanity in you. There's something
(24:57):
wrong with you. If you can cheer the death of
any I don't care who it is. I wouldn't cheer
the death of Hitler. I would understand it. I would
I would be okay with it. I would be But
he was still somebody, somebody loved him. I mean, for
all of the atrocities he committed, he was still somebody
(25:18):
loved him. His wife I don't know. But my point
is I still wouldn't be happy about it, but I
would be I would understand it with that, said Stephen A. Smith,
who is a leftist, put a poll out the other day,
and he's got quite a few followers, And this poll
ended up having fifty five, five hundred and eighty nine votes,
so it was not a small sample size. It was
a large sample size to to be honest. And his
(25:40):
poll said just this whose rhetoric has contributed most to
the current climate of political violence in America? Forty four
point seven percent of the fifty six thousand votes said Democrats,
another thirty thirty three and a half percent, so that
totals up seventy eight percent of all respondents. Well, thirty
(26:04):
three and a half said the media, and forty four
point seven said Democrats. One point two percent of sixty
thousand people voting said it was the Republicans who contributed
most to the current climate of political violence in America,
and they were twenty one percent. And I guarantee it,
I know exactly on which side of the aisle all
twenty one percent. There were twenty one percent that said
it was President Trump and his rhetoric. And I'm not
(26:26):
going to tell you that President Trump hasn't contributed to
some of it, but I don't know that it's contributed
the most for sure. I think that I think he
just says what's on his mind and he's not willing
to back down from that. And the man has been
absolutely run through the ringer along with his family for
the last ten years for doing what everybody else that's
(26:49):
in Congress and the United and in the Senate are
trying to do, and that is do what they think
is best for the country. Now, we have a difference
of opinion on what's best for the country. I have
a difference of opinion with a lot of them, but
I think that in the beginning, they all set out
to do what they think is best for the country.
(27:11):
So I'm gonna change gears here for a second because
I have another I have another subject I want to
cover in the last segment. But so, these are the
kinds of things when I say we're winning, these are
the kinds of things that I mean. The United States
of America is the greatest country on Earth for a
(27:33):
number of reasons. One is we're surrounded by two big
oceans that that gives us a level of confidence and
confidence to not be attacked. We're not attached like Europe
is and all of the China and Russia and all that.
We pretty much have our own little gig going. Canada's
up there, but they're nothing to worry with. But in
(27:53):
addition to that, we have these two mountain ranges, the
Rockies and the Appalachians, that the center of America, and
then right through the middle we have this large swath
of flat land that would literally the bread basket of America,
which could literally feed day near the entire world at
this point. And so we have a lot of We
(28:14):
have oil, we have our own natural resources, We have
natural gas, we have coal that we have in abundance,
We have all kinds of things. I've been talking about
this for years. The Biden administration did everything they could
to handicap the United States of America from being able
to do anything with rare earth minerals, which are the
things that we need to power our lives these days.
(28:35):
These rare earth, they're not really rare earth, but they
that's what they call them, but they're not really rare.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And I can tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
That because in the Appalachian Mountains they literally just found
We've always known that there were deposits, they had no
idea how big the deposits were. But we have found
deposits of lithium that are hiding in the appalations that
are estimated to hold one point four to three million
(29:05):
metric tons of lithium oxide, which is concentrated in the
Carolinas and the Northern Appalachians, or the in Carolinas and
the North Appalachians hold an estimated of nine hundred thousand dollars.
And then you've got some up through Maine in New Hampshire.
That is another win for the United States of America
(29:26):
because China has had a lock on rare earth minerals.
Well they've been building a lock on it now for
the last fifteen to twenty years. But the Biden administration
accelerated that by signing on the first day that he
got into office before his brain turned to complete mush
an executive order banning mining for rare earth minerals for
thirty years in the United States. What do you think
(29:48):
that's going to do when China's the only one that's
got them, and we need them for all of our
naval capacities, to build fighter jets, to build all the
things that we need to build. It's horrible for our
national defense to we have our biggest adversary being in
control of all of the materials we need to be
able to do our own thing. And you signed it
(30:09):
over to him, by the way, you signed it over
to them with a thirty year moratorium on mining. Right
after your son broker to deal between China and the
Democratic Republic of Congo for a cobalt mine over in Congo.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Right so Hunter.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Brokers a deal.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Somehow neither one of them needed in, but somehow he
gets in and brokers this deal. And six months later,
his dad signs a moratorium on rare earth mining or
rare earth mineral mining. And you're going to tell me
there's no correlation to it. I am buying it anyways.
Another win. We now have found lithium deposits, and I
guarantee you that drill, baby drill is going to be mine,
(30:49):
baby mine when it comes to these rare minerals. Trump's
not going to put us in a position that we
have to rely on anybody for anything. We are going
to be self sufficient and independent and capable of supplying
it to other people. All right, this is Bonos Cars

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So I talked a little
bit about this in the last segment, and I'm gonna
bring it up again because I find it incredibly infuriating
that people have gotten to the point where they just
(32:13):
don't have any basic human decency. And I talked about
Bill Maher calling out his audience about that, you know,
and if you can cheer when a man dies, or
you can be sad and go out and literally say
it to the world that you're sad that somebody missed
(32:33):
murdering a man. When you can cheer Luigi Mangione for
murdering a father and a husband by shooting him in
the back like a coward, when you can be okay
with that one thing. For sure, you shouldn't be in
the healthcare field. You have zero empathy. And you can
(32:57):
despise Trump's policies. You can think he's rude, can think
he's flawed, you can think all of that. By the way,
so are the rest of us, all of us. He
just happens to have a bigger microphone right now. But
it's not like you're not rude forgetting online and talking
about how you wish he'd died. That's not rude anyways.
(33:17):
But if you're disappointed that he wasn't killed, you're not
engaging in politics anymore. You're saying something much uglier about yourself.
And it seems to be a thing on the left.
And I don't know why it started other than to
destroy the United States of America, because you can't have
(33:41):
anything good if everybody can't have it, you can't have it.
And one of the things that we operate on in
the United States, one of the things that has made
Western societies.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
So great is trust.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
It's social trust, the ability to abide by laws by
most of us and have a system that it removes
those who aren't willing to engage in that social trust
with the rest of us, remove them from our society
and punish them for it, and hopefully rehabilitate them to
(34:18):
the point that they too want to engage in social trust.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
There was a book back.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
In nineteen ninety three that a gentleman wrote. The guy's
name was Robert Putnam, and the book was called Making
Democracy Work, And in it he talked about what makes
countries different and the anybody that understands history and understands
(34:50):
what's driven societies, especially the United States of America, knows
that prosperity for everybody, and we all are prosperous. I
don't care even the broke person in the United States
is one of the richest people in the world. But
that prosperity depends on free markets and the rule of
law and basic civil liberties. It depends on all of
(35:11):
us participating in those same things. It depends on you
not knowing that ninety eight percent of the people aren't
going to walk in there and steal the toothpaste off
the shelf, at least in most parts of the country.
But in his book, he explored that difference between Northern
Italy and Southern Italy. And Northern Italy had a long
(35:33):
history of civic engagement and social trust that was developed
over time. But in Southern Italy and Sicily, where the
mafia started, it's very tribal and it's run by extended
gangs that called families. And because of that, So here's
another way to think about it. Think about President Trump
(35:54):
when all of the countries that he called s whole countries, right,
and they are. He didn't say the people were, He
said the countries, and they are because they have no trust.
They have a disdain for the rule of law, and
it's a social structure. And their social structure that they
have amounts to a bunch of gangs trying to compete
for resources and whoever's the baddest or the meanest or
(36:14):
the has the most guns wins. That's no way to
grow prosperity. That's always fighting over the limited resources and
not everybody trying to do everything they can to.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Grow the resources.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
It's I'm gonna take it because you just you finished
growing all those those that food and I want it
and I got guns, so I'm taking your food. Well,
once that happens, the next time, the guy's not going
to go grow the food anymore. Then what now? What
are you fighting over? Because the guy with the gun
doesn't know how to grow the food. The guy with
the food doesn't like you keep stealing his food. So
now what do you do? You just you end up
with as whole countries. So right now in Detroit, unfortunately,
(36:49):
they're begging people to not steal fire hydrants. There are
the fire department. Detroit Fire Department is rolling up to
fire to fires and houses and finding two or three
of the fire hydrants in a row gone while the
house burns down because somebody stole a fire hydrant to
make a little extra money. It is that societal trust
(37:15):
that has built. The democrats, or the left at least,
are trying to do everything they can to destroy that
for whatever reason, and they're doing a pretty good job
of it. Hassan Piker, if you haven't ever heard of him,
he is an avowed leftist who cheered on hamas said
the United States deserved nine to eleven. This guy's like
(37:37):
twenty eight years old, so he probably was two or
three years old when nine to eleven happened. How he
knows what we deserved, I don't know. But you're living
in the freest country that allows you to say those
kind of things. He's one of the ones that went
over to Cuba a couple of weeks ago, and they
put him up at a five star hotel, the only
hotel with electricity for the entire time, and they all
toiled around Cuba and talked about what a great place
(37:59):
it was while the q are literally starving in the streets. Anyways,
Hussan Piker is a horrible human being, horrible, horrible And
I don't know if he's doing it for clicks, but
if you are, that makes you just as bad as
if you really believe the crap you're saying.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
But he was having a conversation.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
With somebody the other day, I can't remember who it was,
some young lady. Oh, her name was Gia Tolentino, and
they came up with that. There was an article called
in the New York Times that called the rich don't
play by the rules, so why should I, which is
complete and utter bunk. I can tell you that everybody
(38:38):
that I know that's got any money.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Plays by the rules. They play by the rules.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
They don't want to go to jail. They don't want
to get caught. Now, do they all play by the rules? No,
there are people out there who are fraudsters. There are
bad people, but the majority of people that are rich
got that way by working their butts off, saving their
money and reinvesting in taking risks. Anyways, huss On Piker
and the Gia Tolentino, we're discussing their views on micro looting.
(39:08):
By the way, micro looting is not a term, it's
a made up term. It's stealing. And you think you're
justified in stealing even a ten dollars salad from Whole
Foods because Whole Foods is owned by Amazon and Amazon
has billions of dollars. So why should By the way,
these two people, this Gia Tolentino lives in a two
and a half million dollar house and Hassan Piker lives
(39:29):
in a three million dollar crib while stealing from corporations.
That just so, if you can steal it, shouldn't we
all be able to steal it?
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Should it all be free? Where is the trust?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
And why do you think you're okay, it's okay for
you to be stealing, when it just baffles my brain
that you can justify that in any sense whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
This is a true story.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I walked into a seven eleven one time in Florida.
This was probably twenty years ago now, and grabbed the
Diet Mountain Dow. Back then, I drank diet Mountain dews
and I grabbed diet Mountain Dew and I wasn't thinking,
and for whatever reason, I got in the car and
I left. About ten miles down the road, I went,
Holy cow, I didn't pay for that. I turned around
and drove back and told the lady, Hey, sorry, I
(40:21):
forgot to pay for this. I wouldn't trying to steal it,
paid for it and moved on. She said, I can't
believe you.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Turned around and came back.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
I'm like, well, I didn't mean to steal it. I
wasn't trying to steal it, but my conscience won't let
me do that. I just I don't have that in me.
When you can be so depraved that you can justify
killing people, when you can be so depraved that you
can justify while being a millionaire stealing, when you are
(40:46):
so depraved that you can justify illegal immigrants coming to
the United States and defrauding our programs out of hundreds
of millions of dollars to send back to Somalia.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
There's something wrong with you.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Your conscience is broken if any of those things resonate
with you. And I don't know how we fix that
part of our society, because it's getting so depraved and
so out there that if we don't rain it back
in pretty soon, we are going to be one of
(41:23):
those whole countries. At least fifty percent of us right
now don't want that. And I believe that if you
take the fifty percent of the left and fifty percent
of the right. Out of the fifty percent that they're
on the left, seventy five percent of them don't want
that either. They just don't see it coming. They just
don't They are blind to what is actually happening. And
(41:44):
if you get enough people out there advocating for micro looting,
everything that we have in society is going to be gone.
It's all going to be locked up behind plexiglass and
the way we shop, the way that we live, the
freedoms that we have, the fact that you can walk
into a grocery store every day and just grab stuff
off the shelf and be trusted to walk up there
and pay for it. The fact that you can, all
(42:06):
of that's going to go away if we break that
societal trust that they're so boldly trying to break. And
restaurants and retail stores, by the way, they're having enough
of it. They're getting rid of all of the retail
giant Target has inlimited self checkout to customers with ten
items or less. Walmart is getting rid of all of
their their self checkout lanes. The UH five below, which
(42:33):
is five below, is phasing out self checkout almost entirely.
McDonald's are ending their self served drink machines. Apparently all
of that is an evolution of we're tired of being
stolen from We're tired of losing money. We have to
shut stores down in high crime areas because we can't
(42:56):
turn a profit because everybody's stealing our stuff constantly. And
then you want to know why there's.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
Food deserts or drug deserts.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Or what it's because the people in those particular places
have justified stealing from people. They're low trust societies. Inside
the United States of America, there are some places in
the United States right now that are just like southern Italy,
and gangs are doing their best to control everything. Gangs
(43:23):
are doing their best to sap up the resources. We
got to be careful. We got to be careful because
if we don't start to figure out how to unwind
the madness, we are going to be living. Well. I
won't be because it won't happen in my lifetime, but
my children and grandchildren will be living in a society
(43:43):
that none of us recognize. And all those people that
keep talking about how bad America is, none of them
are leaving. They all know it's not better someplace else.
I'm lost. I don't know what to do about it,
but I hope we can turn it around. Hey, twenty
twenty six midterms are happening, and everybody's vote matters, So
(44:05):
get out there and vote, all right. This is Bonos
Cars brought to you by Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac
of Murphy's Borough. I really appreciate you guys tuning in
and come on back next week. Have a great weekend.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
All right, good morning everybody. So glad to have everybody
that tuned in this morning. Sincerely appreciate it. I often
wonder why anybody listens to me. Maybe there's not that
many people out there listening to me. But for those
of you that are, thanks, I appreciate it. Make me
feel wanted. So I'm really over this weather too, by
(00:57):
the way, this neurotic old warm, cold warm. It's always
like this, and I keep thinking we're done with the
last cold snap, and then nope, Hey, good news, We've
got another one. It's not gonna get higher than sixty
degrees for a weekend. We're going to talk about that
climate change thing here later on in the show. But
when do when do people learn from their lessons? When
(01:23):
do people, especially leftist politicians that have seen the results
of their actions many many times, and yet they have
to be insane by the definition of an insanity that
we've all heard, which is doing the same thing and
(01:46):
expecting different results. By that definition of insanity, there are
a lot of insane people on the left because they
keep doing the same things and somehow think they're doing
the right place thing, even though that thing they're doing
turns out to be the wrong thing in hindsight, in retrospect,
(02:06):
in whatever you want to look at it. If they
say hindsight's twenty twenty, it apparently is really blurry for
a lot of people because they need some glasses because
they can't see two days before. What I'm talking about
specifically is Elizabeth Warrens. Spirit Airlines went out of business
(02:27):
this past week. Spirit Airlines was an airline that a
lot allowed people, you know, think about air travel five, ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago. It costs more to fly than it
does today because of some of these low cost airlines
that figured out that they run on really really really
thin margins. They don't have all of the amenities that
(02:49):
some of the bigger airlines have, but they also make
it affordable for people to be able to see their
loved ones on the other side of the country, or
to just have a vacation that is literally affordable because
it's not costing you three thousand dollar dollar to fly
you and your kids someplace. That money saved on the airlines,
there's the money that they can spend to do other
things and enjoy their lives. And so when Spirit wanted
(03:10):
to merge with Jet Blue three years ago, two years ago,
they literally went to the government said we can't stay
in business. Our model doesn't work if there are any
shocks to the system. We need to merge with Jet Blue.
And in the idiotic response from the Biden administration and
especially Elizabeth Warren and Pete but a judge, however you
(03:32):
say it, they were proud of the fact that they
killed the merger and said stupid stuff like it's gonna
give people more choices. They're gonna have more choices to
fly if we don't let them merge. If we let
them merge, it's gonna reduce the choices and it's a
win for the consumers, and blah blah blah blah blah.
How's that working out for you now? Because seventeen thousand people.
(03:54):
You know, those people you keep advocating for and saying
you're for the poor people and the rich should pay
their fair share and blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Those are the people.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Those seventeen thousand people that were working for Spirit Airlines
are now out of business. They don't have a job.
They're looking for jobs because you killed the merger. Why
it made no sense. Sean Duffy, the new Secretary of Transportation,
who replaced the most incompetent person for that job, Pete
Butter Judge, who had run no more than I think
(04:23):
it was Indianapolis or South Bend, Indiana or someplace like that.
That was his top job, was running like twenty seven buses,
and you gave him the Secretary of Transportation job. The
man had no qualifications whatsoever. You put him in there.
He literally starts calling roads racist and bridges racist, along
with an auto pen president who has mushed for brains.
(04:44):
And you guys literally destroyed seventeen thousand people's lives, not
to mention all those other people's lives that you try
to destroy with the Keystone pipeline and all the other
jobs killing things that you guys did constantly. It absolutely
is amazing to me that they cannot see that their
policies are the reasons for all of those things happening.
(05:07):
But in addition to that, last week, Brooke Robbins, who
is the Secretary of GO I can't Secretary of agriculture.
That's what it was. Agriculture Secretary of Agriculture who happens
(05:27):
to run the SNAP funds, right, they're the ones that
determine the benefits for people receiving food assistance. But last
week one state, in one state, they eliminated where they
found fourteen thousand individuals that were receiving SNAP benefits were
(05:48):
driving luxury vehicles. Fourteen thousand people in one state getting
SNAP benefits that were driving luxury vehicles. And let me
just give you a hint of some of these vehicles.
Three B three Ferraris, eleven Lamborghinis, fifty nine Maseratis, one
hundred and forty one Purses, two hundred and forty four
Alpha Romeos, three hundred and six land Rovers, and twenty
(06:11):
one hundred Teslas, just to name a few of the
cars that people were driving. So, if money is fungible,
if you've got enough money to buy a car like
that you shouldn't be on food assistance because the rest
of us slaps are out here working every day and
trying to make ends meet without taking insistance from the government.
You're scamming all of the rest of the taxpayers, and
by the way, that was supposed to be for the
(06:31):
people who truly needed it. And if you've got a
Bentley or Maserati or anything, then you're making one thousand
dollars a month, fifteen hundred dollars a month car payments
on or worse, you had the money to pay cash,
and you're still receiving tax benefits. That's pure and outright fraud,
and it is the constant policies of the people on
the left who keep allowing the fraud to happen because
(06:54):
they know that as long as they can keep that
stuff rolling, the people will vote for them so that
they can get more free stock. The problem with that
free stuff is nothing is free. You and I are
paying for it. They're not, and yet they can drive it.
I can't afford a Bentley, I can't afford a Maserati.
And when things were even worse, and they have been
really bad at times in my life, then I tightened
(07:17):
my belt and literally used a tiny little bit of
shaving cream, would eat beans and weenies. I do whatever
it took, but I wasn't going to take assistance until
it was absolutely necessary, and I couldn't do it. It's
for people who can't work and can't afford to work.
Able bodied people shouldn't be getting food benefits. And that's
(07:38):
the other thing Trump Trump instituted that with the One
Big Beautiful Bill, and I think I read the other
day where four point two million people have now been
taken off of snap benefits because they were able by
to and able to work. All right, come on back
after the break. This is Bonos Cars brought to you
by Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac of Murpury's Borough.
Speaker 1 (08:13):

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So the more stuff that
gets uncovered by the Trump administration. And like Trump or not,
I don't really care one way or the other. What
I care about is that he's also got I think
it's nine cabinet members that are incredibly competent and do
(09:01):
a great job. From Secretary of Treasury Scott Descent to
Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
He has put people. One of the talents Trump has
is the ability to spot talent and people, understand people's
weaknesses and strengths. I've said this many times in sales
meetings and told my managers as many times. If you
(09:23):
take Tom Brady and make him the middle linebacker of
the New England Patriots, and you take whoever they had
at middle linebacker through all those years at Tom Brady's quarterback,
and take that middle linebacker and make him the quarterback,
the Patriots don't win a game, much less six Super
Bowls right.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Great players in the wrong spot.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
And so one of the talents from a good coaches
being able to spot what talents other people have so
that you can put them in the right position to win.
Trump does that and by all measures, we are winning
in a lot of places. But more importantly, we're uncovering
all of the things that should never have happened under
the Biden administration. You know, I remember Barack Obama one
(10:05):
time bragging that his administration was the least scandal rigged
or least amount of scandals than the entire administration, which
was complete bunk. But there aren't any scandals going on
in the Trump administration. There are resistance people who want
to tell you that they're actually hitler or fascist. Oh,
by the way, while they're currently trying to elect a
(10:27):
man who called himself a known communist, had a Nazi
tattoo on his chest, and is running for the US
Senate out of Maine against Susan Collins and also made
the comment. The same man, Graham Platner, made the same
comment that if women need to grow up and be smarter,
if they don't want to be sexually assaulted, you can
go look it all up. I'm not making any of
(10:48):
this up. That's who they're that's who they're putting out
to be one of the top senators in the in
the or one of the one hundred senators in the nation,
and I'm like, you got to be kidnaming. You're calling
up you're calling the people that support the administration currently
Nazis and fascists and all that while literally electing or
trying to elect and appointing a known Nazi fascist that
(11:11):
is a communist and about of it. It's amazing to me. Anyways,
back to what I was saying, the Biden administration did
so many things that were so shockingly bad that it's
almost amazing. But one of the things that I was
reading about the other day, the town Hall, which is
one of the sites I read a lot of, had
(11:33):
an undercover investigation short of like James o'keef from Wakeiff
Media used to do and still does, and trapping people
they get people to talk. So this lady was having
or somebody was having lunch with a Angela Cassiola, who
was a former chief of human resources for Children's Home
(11:54):
of Kingston in New York, and they were talking about
the four hundred and forty eight thousand unaccompanied alien chill
ldren that came into the United States during the Biden administration.
So in Trump's last year of his first term, there
were like seventeen thousand unaccompanied minors that made it across
the border. And we're not going to turn kids back
loops and put them back in the Mexican desert. That's
not how we do things here. But seventeen thousand of
(12:17):
them came in. In Biden's first year, there were one
hundred and twenty one thousand, and the second year is
like one hundred and twenty eight thousand, and a third
year topped out like one hundred and forty thousand. But overall,
there were four hundred and forty eight thousand unaccompanied children
that made it into this country without any parents. There's
this there's a thing out there called the Cloward Piven strategy,
(12:39):
and it was developed by these two guys, mister Cloward
and mister Piven, who and their basic strategy is overwhelmed
the system. If you want to change the system, overwhelm
it's to the point that it can't keep up and
you have it breaks. And that's exactly what the Biden
administration was trying to do with this whole thing. Except
the problem with that is it was these four hundred
and forty eight thousand children that got the raw end
(13:02):
of the deal so that the Democrats could maintain power
you let these kids come in and they were literally
being stuck. The Office for Refugee Resettlement ORR is the
clearing house that sets out all the money that goes
to all of these NGOs that were supposed to take
care of these miners. But not only were they take
they were given contracts to everybody because nobody could keep
(13:26):
up with that with one hundred and twenty one thousand
unaccompanied children. But she goes on to say, let me
see if I can. Uh. They could care less how
the miner felt. It was just, hey, the miner has
got to get there, and that's it. The faster we
(13:46):
can do it, the better. Darlene Seeley, the senior administrator
on duty for Berkshire Farm and Farm Center and Services
for Youth, said the Biden administration seized children's passports at
the border and incredibly threw them away. They did acknowledge
that that was their policy. They threw the passports of
these children away. First of all, if you've got a passport,
(14:07):
why are you trying to make it into the United
States illegally?
Speaker 4 (14:10):
But they go on to talk about it and they said.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Yolanda Gozoge is a project manager at the Providencia group
which handled calls to ORR said children were helped through
Mexico by cartel coyotes and then owed them a debt.
So the thought is, when they get to where they're going,
they're going to be released to a sponsor that already
knows that they owe the cartel money. In a particularly
shocking moment, I'm reading from the article here. In a
(14:36):
particularly shocking moment, Natasha Write, a supervisory senior oversight advisor
for ARR, acknowledged that hotel staff and National guardsmen were
sleeping with the miners in the hotels in the video right,
not aslong as the journalist said. Children being sent to
folks that were we knew were not their relatives because
(14:57):
the process was rushed so much. We have cases of
children that we know were sent to traffickers. That goes
on to talk about the majority of the children her
agency handle didn't speak Spanish. They were from Africa, Italy, Ukraine,
New Delhi and those places, and we had Samandarin and
some Japanese. Never forget, those were children that you were
(15:22):
using as pawns in your game of let's see if
we can rig the system and overwhelming enough to gain
power forever it is absolutely mind blowing that the people
on the left that are supposed to be so compassionate
and so forgiving and so welcoming, and the Party of
Inclusivity and all of that would be that way to
children and not be in an uproar that almost a
(15:45):
half a million children, a lot of them lost being
found now by the Trump administration and some of the
people doing the good work at Homeland Security. But we'll
never find them all. And when you do, even if
you did, what is the trauma they've been put through
by being trafficked into the United States and then trafficked
in the United States. Sick sick people, Sick people that
(16:09):
would would traffic the kids, Sick people that would buy
the kids, Sick people that would be in the government
and use those children for power, Sick sick human beings
that don't care about anything but themselves. I don't want
to hear any more of this talk about compassion. And
we're here for the for the people who are down
(16:29):
and out. No you're not. You're here to gain more power,
and you'll do it on the backs of the people
who don't know any better or don't have the ability
to stand up for themselves. But then, in addition to that,
the Biden administration, there was an article the other day
that came out that said the Biden administration was giving
(16:51):
Planned Parenthood small business loans and using code names to
hide them. They knew Planned Parenthood wasn't eligible, so they
had to they had to hide the transactions. They created
a code name for the organization and to hide their
discussions from FOYA or Freedom of Information Act requests, which.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Was violating the law.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
By the way, they gave as much as ninety million
dollars inforgivable, which means they're not really loans, they're just
you're just handing the money in forgivable small business loans
to Planned Parenthood despite it being ineligible as a big
business and Biden's SPA administrator hid its actions by referring
to the abortion provider as been Ghazi in emails. Now,
(17:30):
isn't that really odd that they would pick the name Benghazi,
which was the one of the big travesties during the
Biden administration where Hillary Clinton did not get involved and
people died, Americans died because of their incompetence and ineptness.
And then she basically threw her hands up in a
congressional hearing and said, what difference does it make at
this point? Really, lady, people died. You're still going on
(17:52):
with your life and the decisions you made caused people
to die, and their loved ones can't say what difference
does it make now? It makes a big difference in
their lives. But I wonder why they use the uh,
the name Ghazi to hide what were basically illegal transactions
(18:14):
when the federal government is breaking their own laws to
hide stuff from the taxpayers.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
The system is broken.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
And I don't care what all those people on the
left say about Trump and the all the fraud and blah.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
No, No, if you really look, all of that took place
under the Biden administration. It was their last gas effort
to make sure that they contain They maintained the power
for as long as they could, because that's all it
is for them.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
It's about the power.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Absolutely sickening to me. Not only are you breaking the
law by giving Planned Parenthood money, but you're losing five
hundred thousand children to traffickers. Insane. All right, This bono

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
All right, welcome back everybody. I don't know why I
do that, then all right, my wife makes fun of
me for doing it. But as soon as to be
my my stick, my habit, I don't do it intentionally.
It's just kind of my opening salvo, I guess. Anyways, I,
as you probably have guessed, read quite a bit and
(20:04):
spending an inordinate amount of my time reading and trying
to learn as much as I can about everything. That's
just part of my nature. I like to learn, and
I think when you stop learning, you start dying, and
I don't want to do that yet. So while I
was reading, there was this there's an article by a
gentleman by the name of Eric Florak that I read,
and it's so good and concise that. I figured i'd
(20:28):
just read it to you because I could tell you
it's mine, but it's not. These are his ideas, but
they're all true, and I agree with one hundred percent
of them. And he puts it in words that make
it easy to go along with. So he talks about
He said, here's some things worth considering about where things
have been going in America over the last forty years.
I found this collection of absurdities hiding in my archive drive,
dated twenty twenty. I'll pass it on to you. So
(20:49):
here they are the absurdities of the left and self
contradicting absurdities of the left. All right, here we go.
If a dude pretends to be a woman, you're inquired,
You're required to pretend with him.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Somehow.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's Unamerican for the Census to count how many Americans
are in America. Russians influencing our elections are bad, but
illegals voting in our elections are good. It was cool
for Joe Biden to blackmail the president of Ukraine, but
it's an impeachable offense. Donald Trump even inquires about it.
Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen
is old enough to vote and register for the draft,
(21:25):
so you can die for your country that won't let
you drink. People who have never owned slaves should pay
slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves. Inflammatory
rhetoric is outrageous, but harassing people in restaurants is virtuous.
People who have never been to college should pay the
debts of college students who took out huge loans for
their degrees. Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but
(21:49):
you'd better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate must
go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gangbangers
and drug dealers who jump the Southern fence or welcome.
Five billion dollars for border security is too expensive, but
one and a half trillion dollars for free healthcare is not.
(22:10):
If you cheat to get into college, you go to prison,
but if you cheat to get into the country, you
go to college for free. People who say there's no
such thing as gender are demanding a female president. We
see other countries going socialists and collapsing, but it seems
like a great plan for us. Some people are held
responsible for things that happened before they were born, and
(22:32):
other people are not held responsible for what they're doing.
Right now, criminals are catching release to hurt more people,
but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of
their rights. And pointing out all of this hypocrisy somehow
makes us racists. That pretty much sums it up.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Let's see.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, here's a couple more. I'llhan Omar and her brother
husband ran a winery when the Quran explicitly prohibits alcohol.
Time was we used to ensure people coming to live
in America we're free from illness. Now we see your
California Governor Gavin Newsom funding an NGO tasked with bringing
in HIV immigrants and government run school students cannot read,
(23:23):
but they can make signs and carry them to.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
No King's protests.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Absurdities self contradicting absurdities of the left. You cannot, I'll
add one. You can't say your for autonomy and body
the autonomy for everybody and still be okay with abortions.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It's just there's a body there.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
So I don't understand it. I don't understand the logic.
I don't understand the thought process. I don't understand how
you can mentally twist yourself into a pretzel to get
to some of the conclusions that a lot of these
people have. And it's got to be the government run
schools have indoctrinated them to the point that they just
(24:13):
don't they just can't think for themselves, because it feels
like to me that it's all basic common sense things.
Stephen Smith, Stephen A. Smith, the guy from ESPN who
I like smart as a whip. He really is. He
is kind of like Bill Maher. Bill Maher is an
(24:35):
avowed leftist, but he still has some common sense and
can still call out the crap that needs to be
called out, and say, if you're cheering for Charlie Kirk
to die, or you are sad that they missed on
President Trump again, you've lost all sight of humanity. You're
not you don't have any humanity in you. There's something
(24:57):
wrong with you. If you can cheer the death of
any I don't care who it is. I wouldn't cheer
the death of Hitler. I would understand it. I would
I would be okay with it. I would be But
he was still somebody, somebody loved him. I mean, for
all of the atrocities he committed, he was still somebody
(25:18):
loved him. His wife I don't know. But my point
is I still wouldn't be happy about it, but I
would be I would understand it with that, said Stephen A. Smith,
who is a leftist, put a poll out the other day,
and he's got quite a few followers, And this poll
ended up having fifty five, five hundred and eighty nine votes,
so it was not a small sample size. It was
a large sample size to to be honest. And his
(25:40):
poll said just this whose rhetoric has contributed most to
the current climate of political violence in America? Forty four
point seven percent of the fifty six thousand votes said Democrats,
another thirty thirty three and a half percent, so that
totals up seventy eight percent of all respondents. Well, thirty
(26:04):
three and a half said the media, and forty four
point seven said Democrats. One point two percent of sixty
thousand people voting said it was the Republicans who contributed
most to the current climate of political violence in America,
and they were twenty one percent. And I guarantee it,
I know exactly on which side of the aisle all
twenty one percent. There were twenty one percent that said
it was President Trump and his rhetoric. And I'm not
(26:26):
going to tell you that President Trump hasn't contributed to
some of it, but I don't know that it's contributed
the most for sure. I think that I think he
just says what's on his mind and he's not willing
to back down from that. And the man has been
absolutely run through the ringer along with his family for
the last ten years for doing what everybody else that's
(26:49):
in Congress and the United and in the Senate are
trying to do, and that is do what they think
is best for the country. Now, we have a difference
of opinion on what's best for the country. I have
a difference of opinion with a lot of them, but
I think that in the beginning, they all set out
to do what they think is best for the country.
(27:11):
So I'm gonna change gears here for a second because
I have another I have another subject I want to
cover in the last segment. But so, these are the
kinds of things when I say we're winning, these are
the kinds of things that I mean. The United States
of America is the greatest country on Earth for a
(27:33):
number of reasons. One is we're surrounded by two big
oceans that that gives us a level of confidence and
confidence to not be attacked. We're not attached like Europe
is and all of the China and Russia and all that.
We pretty much have our own little gig going. Canada's
up there, but they're nothing to worry with. But in
(27:53):
addition to that, we have these two mountain ranges, the
Rockies and the Appalachians, that the center of America, and
then right through the middle we have this large swath
of flat land that would literally the bread basket of America,
which could literally feed day near the entire world at
this point. And so we have a lot of We
(28:14):
have oil, we have our own natural resources, We have
natural gas, we have coal that we have in abundance,
We have all kinds of things. I've been talking about
this for years. The Biden administration did everything they could
to handicap the United States of America from being able
to do anything with rare earth minerals, which are the
things that we need to power our lives these days.
(28:35):
These rare earth, they're not really rare earth, but they
that's what they call them, but they're not really rare.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
And I can tell you.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
That because in the Appalachian Mountains they literally just found
We've always known that there were deposits, they had no
idea how big the deposits were. But we have found
deposits of lithium that are hiding in the appalations that
are estimated to hold one point four to three million
(29:05):
metric tons of lithium oxide, which is concentrated in the
Carolinas and the Northern Appalachians, or the in Carolinas and
the North Appalachians hold an estimated of nine hundred thousand dollars.
And then you've got some up through Maine in New Hampshire.
That is another win for the United States of America
(29:26):
because China has had a lock on rare earth minerals.
Well they've been building a lock on it now for
the last fifteen to twenty years. But the Biden administration
accelerated that by signing on the first day that he
got into office before his brain turned to complete mush
an executive order banning mining for rare earth minerals for
thirty years in the United States. What do you think
(29:48):
that's going to do when China's the only one that's
got them, and we need them for all of our
naval capacities, to build fighter jets, to build all the
things that we need to build. It's horrible for our
national defense to we have our biggest adversary being in
control of all of the materials we need to be
able to do our own thing. And you signed it
(30:09):
over to him, by the way, you signed it over
to them with a thirty year moratorium on mining. Right
after your son broker to deal between China and the
Democratic Republic of Congo for a cobalt mine over in Congo.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Right so Hunter.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Brokers a deal.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
Somehow neither one of them needed in, but somehow he
gets in and brokers this deal. And six months later,
his dad signs a moratorium on rare earth mining or
rare earth mineral mining. And you're going to tell me
there's no correlation to it. I am buying it anyways.
Another win. We now have found lithium deposits, and I
guarantee you that drill, baby drill is going to be mine,
(30:49):
baby mine when it comes to these rare minerals. Trump's
not going to put us in a position that we
have to rely on anybody for anything. We are going
to be self sufficient and independent and capable of supplying
it to other people. All right, this is Bonos Cars

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So I talked a little
bit about this in the last segment, and I'm gonna
bring it up again because I find it incredibly infuriating
that people have gotten to the point where they just
(32:13):
don't have any basic human decency. And I talked about
Bill Maher calling out his audience about that, you know,
and if you can cheer when a man dies, or
you can be sad and go out and literally say
it to the world that you're sad that somebody missed
(32:33):
murdering a man. When you can cheer Luigi Mangione for
murdering a father and a husband by shooting him in
the back like a coward, when you can be okay
with that one thing. For sure, you shouldn't be in
the healthcare field. You have zero empathy. And you can
(32:57):
despise Trump's policies. You can think he's rude, can think
he's flawed, you can think all of that. By the way,
so are the rest of us, all of us. He
just happens to have a bigger microphone right now. But
it's not like you're not rude forgetting online and talking
about how you wish he'd died. That's not rude anyways.
(33:17):
But if you're disappointed that he wasn't killed, you're not
engaging in politics anymore. You're saying something much uglier about yourself.
And it seems to be a thing on the left.
And I don't know why it started other than to
destroy the United States of America, because you can't have
(33:41):
anything good if everybody can't have it, you can't have it.
And one of the things that we operate on in
the United States, one of the things that has made
Western societies.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
So great is trust.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
It's social trust, the ability to abide by laws by
most of us and have a system that it removes
those who aren't willing to engage in that social trust
with the rest of us, remove them from our society
and punish them for it, and hopefully rehabilitate them to
(34:18):
the point that they too want to engage in social trust.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
There was a book back.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
In nineteen ninety three that a gentleman wrote. The guy's
name was Robert Putnam, and the book was called Making
Democracy Work, And in it he talked about what makes
countries different and the anybody that understands history and understands
(34:50):
what's driven societies, especially the United States of America, knows
that prosperity for everybody, and we all are prosperous. I
don't care even the broke person in the United States
is one of the richest people in the world. But
that prosperity depends on free markets and the rule of
law and basic civil liberties. It depends on all of
(35:11):
us participating in those same things. It depends on you
not knowing that ninety eight percent of the people aren't
going to walk in there and steal the toothpaste off
the shelf, at least in most parts of the country.
But in his book, he explored that difference between Northern
Italy and Southern Italy. And Northern Italy had a long
(35:33):
history of civic engagement and social trust that was developed
over time. But in Southern Italy and Sicily, where the
mafia started, it's very tribal and it's run by extended
gangs that called families. And because of that, So here's
another way to think about it. Think about President Trump
(35:54):
when all of the countries that he called s whole countries, right,
and they are. He didn't say the people were, He
said the countries, and they are because they have no trust.
They have a disdain for the rule of law, and
it's a social structure. And their social structure that they
have amounts to a bunch of gangs trying to compete
for resources and whoever's the baddest or the meanest or
(36:14):
the has the most guns wins. That's no way to
grow prosperity. That's always fighting over the limited resources and
not everybody trying to do everything they can to.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Grow the resources.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
It's I'm gonna take it because you just you finished
growing all those those that food and I want it
and I got guns, so I'm taking your food. Well,
once that happens, the next time, the guy's not going
to go grow the food anymore. Then what now? What
are you fighting over? Because the guy with the gun
doesn't know how to grow the food. The guy with
the food doesn't like you keep stealing his food. So
now what do you do? You just you end up
with as whole countries. So right now in Detroit, unfortunately,
(36:49):
they're begging people to not steal fire hydrants. There are
the fire department. Detroit Fire Department is rolling up to
fire to fires and houses and finding two or three
of the fire hydrants in a row gone while the
house burns down because somebody stole a fire hydrant to
make a little extra money. It is that societal trust
(37:15):
that has built. The democrats, or the left at least,
are trying to do everything they can to destroy that
for whatever reason, and they're doing a pretty good job
of it. Hassan Piker, if you haven't ever heard of him,
he is an avowed leftist who cheered on hamas said
the United States deserved nine to eleven. This guy's like
(37:37):
twenty eight years old, so he probably was two or
three years old when nine to eleven happened. How he
knows what we deserved, I don't know. But you're living
in the freest country that allows you to say those
kind of things. He's one of the ones that went
over to Cuba a couple of weeks ago, and they
put him up at a five star hotel, the only
hotel with electricity for the entire time, and they all
toiled around Cuba and talked about what a great place
(37:59):
it was while the q are literally starving in the streets. Anyways,
Hussan Piker is a horrible human being, horrible, horrible And
I don't know if he's doing it for clicks, but
if you are, that makes you just as bad as
if you really believe the crap you're saying.
Speaker 4 (38:15):
But he was having a conversation.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
With somebody the other day, I can't remember who it was,
some young lady. Oh, her name was Gia Tolentino, and
they came up with that. There was an article called
in the New York Times that called the rich don't
play by the rules, so why should I, which is
complete and utter bunk. I can tell you that everybody
(38:38):
that I know that's got any money.
Speaker 4 (38:39):
Plays by the rules. They play by the rules.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
They don't want to go to jail. They don't want
to get caught. Now, do they all play by the rules? No,
there are people out there who are fraudsters. There are
bad people, but the majority of people that are rich
got that way by working their butts off, saving their
money and reinvesting in taking risks. Anyways, huss On Piker
and the Gia Tolentino, we're discussing their views on micro looting.
(39:08):
By the way, micro looting is not a term, it's
a made up term. It's stealing. And you think you're
justified in stealing even a ten dollars salad from Whole
Foods because Whole Foods is owned by Amazon and Amazon
has billions of dollars. So why should By the way,
these two people, this Gia Tolentino lives in a two
and a half million dollar house and Hassan Piker lives
(39:29):
in a three million dollar crib while stealing from corporations.
That just so, if you can steal it, shouldn't we
all be able to steal it?
Speaker 4 (39:38):
Should it all be free? Where is the trust?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
And why do you think you're okay, it's okay for
you to be stealing, when it just baffles my brain
that you can justify that in any sense whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (39:57):
This is a true story.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
I walked into a seven eleven one time in Florida.
This was probably twenty years ago now, and grabbed the
Diet Mountain Dow. Back then, I drank diet Mountain dews
and I grabbed diet Mountain Dew and I wasn't thinking,
and for whatever reason, I got in the car and
I left. About ten miles down the road, I went,
Holy cow, I didn't pay for that. I turned around
and drove back and told the lady, Hey, sorry, I
(40:21):
forgot to pay for this. I wouldn't trying to steal it,
paid for it and moved on. She said, I can't
believe you.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Turned around and came back.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
I'm like, well, I didn't mean to steal it. I
wasn't trying to steal it, but my conscience won't let
me do that. I just I don't have that in me.
When you can be so depraved that you can justify
killing people, when you can be so depraved that you
can justify while being a millionaire stealing, when you are
(40:46):
so depraved that you can justify illegal immigrants coming to
the United States and defrauding our programs out of hundreds
of millions of dollars to send back to Somalia.
Speaker 4 (41:01):
There's something wrong with you.
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Your conscience is broken if any of those things resonate
with you. And I don't know how we fix that
part of our society, because it's getting so depraved and
so out there that if we don't rain it back
in pretty soon, we are going to be one of
(41:23):
those whole countries. At least fifty percent of us right
now don't want that. And I believe that if you
take the fifty percent of the left and fifty percent
of the right. Out of the fifty percent that they're
on the left, seventy five percent of them don't want
that either. They just don't see it coming. They just
don't They are blind to what is actually happening. And
(41:44):
if you get enough people out there advocating for micro looting,
everything that we have in society is going to be gone.
It's all going to be locked up behind plexiglass and
the way we shop, the way that we live, the
freedoms that we have, the fact that you can walk
into a grocery store every day and just grab stuff
off the shelf and be trusted to walk up there
and pay for it. The fact that you can, all
(42:06):
of that's going to go away if we break that
societal trust that they're so boldly trying to break. And
restaurants and retail stores, by the way, they're having enough
of it. They're getting rid of all of the retail
giant Target has inlimited self checkout to customers with ten
items or less. Walmart is getting rid of all of
their their self checkout lanes. The UH five below, which
(42:33):
is five below, is phasing out self checkout almost entirely.
McDonald's are ending their self served drink machines. Apparently all
of that is an evolution of we're tired of being
stolen from We're tired of losing money. We have to
shut stores down in high crime areas because we can't
(42:56):
turn a profit because everybody's stealing our stuff constantly. And
then you want to know why there's.
Speaker 4 (43:00):
Food deserts or drug deserts.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
Or what it's because the people in those particular places
have justified stealing from people. They're low trust societies. Inside
the United States of America, there are some places in
the United States right now that are just like southern Italy,
and gangs are doing their best to control everything. Gangs
(43:23):
are doing their best to sap up the resources. We
got to be careful. We got to be careful because
if we don't start to figure out how to unwind
the madness, we are going to be living. Well. I
won't be because it won't happen in my lifetime, but
my children and grandchildren will be living in a society
(43:43):
that none of us recognize. And all those people that
keep talking about how bad America is, none of them
are leaving. They all know it's not better someplace else.
I'm lost. I don't know what to do about it,
but I hope we can turn it around. Hey, twenty
twenty six midterms are happening, and everybody's vote matters, So
(44:05):
get out there and vote, all right. This is Bonos
Cars brought to you by Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac
of Murphy's Borough. I really appreciate you guys tuning in
and come on back next week. Have a great weekend.
