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

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Here's your host, bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
All right, good morning everybody. I hope everybody, as always
is having a great weekend. Uh school getting ready to
start back here shortly. Summer's almost over and uh, you
know that climate change thing brought us some pretty cool

(00:56):
weather this past week. It was really odd. I had
to go it went over to Buford, Georgia, to Lake
Lanier and it was like seventy one degrees was the
high most of the week, and it was really odd.
So I wanted to start off the show recognizing somebody

(01:17):
that we had a gentleman. One of my finance managers
this past week passed away on Friday night of last week,
and he was a good kid. He was I say kid.
I hired him originally when he was like twenty or
twenty one years old, he was forty two years old,

(01:37):
but I hired him back in Florida and he worked
for me and my cell phone stores, and then he
worked with me in my mortgage business and did a
great job and left behind two kids and a wife.
And it was just another reminder of how short life
actually is. You know, you go home one day and

(01:59):
you think everything's good. I don't know if you guys
remember those of you that listened to the show often,
But it was only like six months ago that I
had a salesperson that worked for me and he was
I'm thirty or thirty two years old and went to
the hospital one day, said he felt bad and came
to the sales meeting following Wednesday, and I said, what

(02:21):
they find out? He said, they didn't see anything. There's nothing.
I just felt bad, but I wasn't really sure what
was going well. Two days later, he was walking through
the shop on the way into work at eight o'clock
in the morning and passed out and passed away. And
another reminder. You know, I know that the car guys,

(02:42):
car car salespeople, car finance managers, we get a lot
of flak that you know who we are, and we're
just dishonest. And you know these our high stressed jobs.
Believe it or not, these guys do a great job,
and they work hard for their families and they're just
like everybody else out there doing the best they can

(03:02):
to make ends meet and go home to their families
and enjoy them and find some sort of balance in life.
And so life is short. Log everybody tell them you
love them if you do, and be kind, right, that's
the biggest thing. Just be kind to each other, because

(03:23):
we have gotten so far off of that with and
I believe it started with Obama. The divisiveness and the
rhetoric and the things that have continued to divide this country.
And the hatefulness you see from the left, that is
just There are some on the far right that have
that same hatefulness, for sure, but it seems to tend

(03:47):
to me towards the leftist way of thinking. The victimization,
excuse me, the anger, the the everybody is. If they're
not they don't think exactly like you, they're idiots, they're fascists,
they're Nazis, they're this that. Just be kind. It doesn't

(04:12):
take all that. You can have differences of opinion, and
it does not require everybody to be mad at each
other all the time or to sling names. It just doesn't.
And that's another reminder that you never know when you
go to bed at night whether you're gonna wake up
the next morning. Only by the grace of God do
we all get to get up every single morning. And

(04:34):
if it's your time and it's punched, you better make
sure you had your affairs in order, and you better
make sure that everybody that's important to you knows it
and that you have treasured them as much as you can. Right,
And so rest in peace. Johnny, his name is Johnny Nuzzo,
and I feel for his family, his wife and kids
and everything are going to have to go through it.

(04:54):
And his mom, Kelly, who also works in my office. Guys,
just be kind, that's all, all right, So getting on
with the show. What is it with these Europeans not
understanding exactly what it was that started the war between

(05:15):
Israel and Palestinians and Hamas. I don't understand how they
don't understand what's going on. I see the other day
where the UK Prime Minister now is talking about recognizing
Palestinian statehood and the French President Macron also saying the

(05:36):
same things. Now they're also saying that it has to
be a ceasefire and has to be Hamas has to
give back the hostages and all that. Great. Do they
not recognize how many times Israel has come to the table.
Peace negotiations have been negotiated out over and over and
over again, with Israel making lots and lots and lots
of concessions to try to end this, and Hamas walks

(05:58):
away from the deal every single solitary time. But now
you're going to reward the barbaric actions. Is there some
suffering in Gaza? Absolutely? What's causing the suffering? Hamas stop,
drop the weapons, give back the hostages and all of
this can be over. But they absolutely refuse. They they

(06:21):
don't want peace, They want to annihilate Israel. And for
any of those European countries over there to reward Hamas's
actions by recognizing a Palestinian statehood, it to me is
completely counterbalanced to but it goes along with what else
is happening in Europe, especially the UK. And I don't

(06:41):
know if you will you guys saw it the other day,
but there were some serious protests in the UK from
the native Londoners, the native people in the Native Britains
or British that they're done with this open border policy
that we had to do with too. They're done with
being infiltrated with people who don't have the same values

(07:05):
and the same understanding of what it is that they
want and the same You cannot bring there to here
without here becoming there. It doesn't work. And if you
don't think that that's the And I don't understand what
the endgame is for all of these people, especially the
far left over in Britain. You think it was bad here.
I I will not go to London. My wife asked

(07:28):
me that if I wanted to go to London for
a vacation, I'm like, absolutely not. I'm not going. She
can go, but she won't. But it's just I don't
understand what their endgame is. But recognizing Palestine as a
state and rewarding hamas sounds to me like you are
going to get more people killed and instead of ending

(07:50):
the war. And I don't understand your methodology or your
thought process. But I don't understand on the left anyways.
All right, this is Bonos Cars brought to by Chevrolet
Buick JMC of Murphy bro come on back. After the break.

Speaker 1 (08:16):

really inside. This is bow No's Cars, brought to you

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Here's your host, bow Driven.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
All right, welcome back everybody. So if you listened to
the show at oh, you know, I talk about climate
change and how I am not in the camp that
believes that everything is man made and that somehow in
the last uh one hundred years, we have figured out

(09:02):
a way to destroy a climate that has been here
for billions of years. And you know, we keep finding
things like a bird that was a dinosaur up in
the upper west part of Canada that they've determined had
to be had to live in warm weather, and somehow
it was in the upper midwest of Canada, like close

(09:25):
to Alaska up there, but it was apparently warm at
some point in our cycle however, many hundreds of millions
of years ago. So I'm not necessarily buying into we
can change it. So here's here's one of the other
things that I think. I think that we don't know
as much as we think we know. I remember Reagan
said one time that the trouble with our friends on

(09:47):
the left, or our liberal friends, I can't remember if
you said liberal friends or friends on the left, is
that they know so much that isn't so. And I
saw an article the other day about apparently there was
a bolt of lightning in twenty seventeen that traveled five

(10:07):
hundred and fifteen uninterrupted miles. It stretched across the western
edge of Texas, skimmed Louisiana, and finally ended up somewhere
in Mississippi, where it faded out. It's the same as distances,
same distance as driving from Chicago to Pittsburgh, or from Dayton,

(10:29):
Orlando to let's see, Atlanta and back. I mean, it's
a long way. But here's the thing. They didn't Nobody
could do anything with it when it happened in twenty seventeen.
We didn't have the technology to figure out exactly how
far it traveled. So even though it broke a record

(10:50):
that bordered on impossible. They used satellite data from something
called a Gohoes fourteen lightning mapper that they used to
to see it, and it traveled across there in under
seven seconds. Seven seconds. Now, aside from the awesome power

(11:11):
of being able to have a lightning bolt travel five
hundred and fifteen miles across the sky, you just got
to know there was somewhere in Texas somebody had clear
skies and looked up and went, holy crap, there was
lightning in a bright, clear sky. What happened? But it

(11:32):
just goes to show you we didn't find it for
seven years. It lasted seven seconds, but seven years later
we found it. And somehow, all of these climate scolds
out there, they're continuing to push this green New Deal
and all of this crap that we're having to deal

(11:52):
with when our energy needs are growing by multiples at
this point, by factors of eight to ten. We need
way more energy to continue to grow at the pace
that's happening with AI and everything else. And yet you
think you're going to get it from wind turbines. So
at addition, in addition to the lightning bolt that took

(12:15):
us seven years to figure out, I also read another article.
So apparently you know all those do good liberals and stuff.
In Nantucket, they decided that they were going to help,
you know, up in Massachusetts because they wanted to go green.
They wanted to help everybody the environment, and so they

(12:38):
decided that the way to help the environment was to
go approve a wind farm eighteen miles off the coast
of New Hampshire, a wind farm that, by the way,
has blades on it that are the size of a
football field, and one of them broke recently, and the

(13:00):
construction company that's building this wind farm forgot to tell
anybody for three days that a football sized blade fell
apart during construction and sent fifty tons of fiberglass and
industrial grade foam into the ocean, fifty tons one blade,

(13:20):
And they didn't bother to say anything until it started
to wash up on the shores of Nantucket and they
had to shut the beach down and it started to
hurt all over the businesses because they had no tourists
coming in because they had all this fiberglass all over
the beach. That's just one blade. By the way, they
still don't have the technology. The technology does not exist

(13:42):
to recycle these blades that have a lifespan between ten
and fifteen years and they're going to have to put
them up again. What are we going to do with
all of these blades that are that big? And how
are we going to get rid of them, because it's
not like they last forever and they're not going to
to We know they're messing with the whales. We know

(14:04):
that they're messing with the whales. They're messing with birds.
They kill more birds, they kill more whales, they kill everything.
And you guys, you don't think before you act. They
just heard will do better for the environment, and so okay,
let's put up this wind farm. And it doesn't help
the environment at all. It doesn't change anything how much.
If you haven't watched land Man, I encourage you to

(14:26):
go watch land Man. And there's a scene in land
Man where Billy Bob Thornton is explaining to some lady
about the wind turbines and the only reason they use
them out in the oil fields is because they can't
get electricity that far out, so they put up a
wind turbine to generate their own electricity to run some
of these oil fields, these oil derricks. But the problem

(14:49):
with them is they take so much energy to pour
the concrete to drive to make the steel, all of
the other things that go into making that stuff drives
way more energy than you'd use if you just use
the regular energy we have. It's no different than all
the car batteries. What do you think we're doing to
the environment when we continue to strip rare earth minerals

(15:11):
out of the earth to build all of the batteries
for the cars. What do you think is actually happening
to the environment. And I don't understand how people can't
just with common sense go, oh, that makes sense. Why
are we destroying the environment to try to help the environment.
And by the way, there was another article I was reading.

(15:32):
It was talking about how the ocean temperatures are changing
and we've set record highs for the ocean temperatures. The
problem with it was when you read the actual study.
The foundational flaw for this particular study was the timescale.
It relied on data beginning in nineteen eighty two, so
that gave us about forty years of observational history total,

(15:54):
which is nothing when you're talking about the Earth's climate
and billions of years. Breathlessly, they'll go out and say,
oh my god, the ocean has a higher temperature than
it's had ever, no, not ever in forty years. And
you're measuring it in one spot. You're not measuring the
entire ocean. You have no idea what the temperature was

(16:15):
five hundred miles away from that particular spot where you're measuring.
And they keep putting these models in, and they make
the models say what they want them to say. Because
there are hundreds of billions of dollars on the line
for all of the companies that are out there trying
to make the electric stuff and wind farms and all
the other stuff. Who do you follow the money. It

(16:38):
is not about the environment. If it was about the environment,
we wouldn't be stripping all the rare earth minerals out
of there. We'd go back to building nuclear plants because
nuclear is by far the cleanest energy. And yet don't
want that either. It is absolutely mind boggling to me
how people don't understand speaking of stupid. I saw something

(17:06):
the other day and this is not stupid. This is
the opposite of that. Oklahoma now has an America First.
If you want to be a teacher in Oklahoma, I'll
just read it to you. It came out of an article.
It says. Oklahoma will be the first state to require
teachers from liberal leaning states to take a test to
sow they align with its curriculum standards. The state Superintendent,

(17:29):
Ryan Walters told Fox News Digital that next week he
plans to release a new certification test for teachers moving
into the state from blue states. We offered the largest
signing bonuses for teachers in the country. If you're in
the top ten percent of teachers in the country, we
give you a fifty thousand dollars bonus in Oklahoma. So
we've seen some teachers from blue states, red states all
overcome to Oklahoma especially, are fleeing the teachers' unions the

(17:52):
grip they've had on them in these blue states. Walter said, So,
but the test is designed to make sure you're not
trying to indoctrinate the kids into some leftist ideology. And
I thought that makes sense. You're doing something to make
sure you can't just come here and bring your ideology.

(18:12):
I've said every time, you can't bring there to hear
without here becoming there. And in Oklahoma, they don't want that.
They don't want to turn into a blue state, and
they don't want their kids indoctrinated, so you want to
get this bonus. We got to make sure your values
aligned with our values, and I see nothing wrong with
As a matter of fact, I think you're going to
see a lot more of that kind of stuff from

(18:33):
the Red States now that you've got so much migration
from the Blue States and people fleeing to get away
from the problems they caused by their voting records. So
it's going to be interesting over the next number of
years see where we end up with this. I'm excited,
but I'm also a little nervous. Anyways, all right, this

(18:55):
is Bonos Cars brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC
of Murphreysboro. We're uh Exit seventy six on Interstate twenty four.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Come see us.

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

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Here's your host, bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
All right, welcome back everybody. So there are some industrial
grade idiots in Congress. I mean some people that just
I don't know. I don't know how they get elected.
I mean they must have so I don't understand it,
but they do in some of these states. And it

(20:04):
is always mind blowing to me when they start to
run their mouths AOC, Jasmine Crockett, all of those people
in the squad. But I'm gonna tell you, Rashida Talib
may take the cake. She tweeted the other day and said,
eighty years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors still live with

(20:28):
the pain of radiation and loss. We must abolish nuclear
weapons before they're used again. A nuclear war would end
life as we know it. Yeah, yeah, I say that's great.
I agree, let's go with that. But I'm pretty sure
that unless we have them, the rest of the people

(20:50):
that the bad actors out there that still have them
are it's going to be a problem. We can't just
abolish them. There are bad people out there that will
use them because the technology is there. Now we're done.
I just don't understand the stupidity of it. So the story,
I'm gonna tell you something the Obama administration and by extension,

(21:16):
the uh Biden administration. We're two of the most corrupt
administrations that and I don't I don't know how you
can draw any other conclusion if you're actually paying attention,
if you're actually paying attention and not just getting your
news from the main street mainstream media, which is not
talking about the Russian collusion hoax at this point. They're

(21:38):
trying to like sweep it under the rug and act
like it didn't happen, because if they have to actually
cover it the way it's coming out now, then they
themselves are complicit because they continued to push the Russian
collusion hoax every night for four years. Four years, the
mainstream media continued after night after night after night continuing

(22:02):
to say that Trump was a Putin puppet and Trump
had connections to Putin, And you had Adam shift for
Brains out there talking about how he had absolute proof,
he had seen the proof that Trump was a Russian asset.
It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Matt Taibi,
who is no right winger by any stretch of the imagination.

(22:23):
He's the same one that got the X the Twitter
files when Elon bought Twitter and before he turned it
into x and started releasing all of the files, and
that showed that they were trying to sway the election,
that they were trying to censor people, that they were
trying to center information about COVID and the vaccination and

(22:44):
all that stuff. Same same guy wrote about those but
he wrote the other day he used to be a
Rolling Rolling Stone contributing editor, and he tweeted out something
or wrote something the other day. I'm just going to
read it to you, he says. Now we know with
the help of the d class Durham material, because John Durham,
if you haven't read John Durham declassified it. Well, the

(23:05):
report that he had and his UH summary was declassified.
And now it goes on and says, now we know,
with the help of the declassified Durham material, we can
explain the whole affair in three brushstrokes. One, Hillary Clinton
and her team apparently hoped to deflect from her email

(23:26):
scandal and other problems via a campaign tying Trump to
putin Two. American security services learned of these plans. Three,
and this is the most important part. Instead of outing them,
authorities use state resources to massively expand and amplify her scheme.
The last stage required the enthusiastic cooperation and canine in
curiosity of the entire commercial news business, which cheered as

(23:49):
conspirators made an enforcement target of Trump, who was actually
an irrelevant bystander. So they have emails now that prove
beyond any shadow of a doubt that the Russian hoax
started by Clinton and she approved. One of her staffers
came to her with a plan to tie Trump to Putin,

(24:11):
and she approved the plan. And then they started using
their plants in the FBI, the CIA, and in the
media to start this whole thing about how Trump was
tied to Russia to try to get them off her
back about her email scandal and her server scandal, because

(24:31):
her server had been hacked. There's no way it wasn't hacked,
and she had classified information on there. She got rid
of thirty thousand emails, she used somebody used bleach bit
to clean the entire drive. They smashed up simcards, They
did everything they could to hide all of the evidence.
And once she was caught, and she is a nasty
human being, but once she was caught, she didn't know

(24:55):
what to do, and she saw her political dream going
down the drain, and so she decided, we'll just tie
Trump to Russia. And then Obama liked it enough, with
all of his other people in his administration like the
idea enough to try to because Trump wasn't part of
their clique, that they decided that they were going to
do everything they could to hamper his entire presidency. And

(25:19):
they did a good job. The first four years. They
did a good job. They did everything they could. They
used every piece of lawfare they had out there to
try to destroy that man. And the media now now
that we have all well we haven't seen all of it,
they're going to declassify some more, and it's going to

(25:40):
at some point the tipping point's going to come when
they cannot they can no longer ignore it. They're going
to have to talk about it because it's going to
be that big of a deal. But also they found
another email that was from Susan Rice, who was one
of the Obama She was in the Obama administration and

(26:01):
she was one of his top advisors. And if you
remember back in January, on the day Trump got inaugurated
in January of twenty seventeen, Susan Rice went back and
typed herself an email memorializing what she said was this
meeting where Barack Obama said to do everything by the book.
Now I'm not real sure why you got to type

(26:23):
an email to yourself on the same day that the
other guy is coming in saying that your boss told
you to do everything by the book that had been
done weeks ago, but other than to try to cover
your tracks. But it turns out that they were also
and they destroyed this man's life, but they were also
targeting Michael Flynn with they personally targeted Michael Flynn. So

(26:45):
the Federalist had an article the other day, and I'm
just going to read to you what they said. Michael
Flynn was personally targeted during a crucial January fifth, twenty seventeen,
Oval Office meeting arranged by then President Barack Obama, a
newly declassified document shows. On January twenty, twenty seventeen, as
President Donald Trump was being inaugurated, former White House National
Security Advisor Susan Rice sent herself a bizarre email detailing

(27:09):
the January fifth meeting between her President Obama, then Vice
President Joe Biden, then Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and
fired former FBI director James Comy. So she went in
in January twentieth to type an email about a meeting
they had on January fifth. In the email, portions of
which were not declassified until recently, Rice recorded Flynn, who

(27:33):
at the time hang on, let me make sure, recorded
that Flynn, who at the time was the incoming national
security advisor for Trump, was personally discussed and targeted during
the meeting with Obama. These people are so corrupt, so vicious,
so nasty that they would do anything. And you want

(27:54):
to talk about the deep state, that's the deep state.
There are still people working in those organizationations that are
still doing what they can to hamper the current president.
The good news is he figured out their game pretty
quick and he ain't playing it this time. But I'll
tell you just how bad they are. So turns out

(28:17):
that I guess Kamala Harris wrote a new book one
hundred and seven days, which was the length of time
it took her to blow a billion dollars or a
billion two and in the book, they the Biden people
have put out some feelers out there saying that if
they if they feel threatened, you're gonna hear stories about

(28:40):
Kamala Harris as vice president that will not make her
look good. It's not like they're at war currently. If
Joe Biden feels threatened, though, and as people feel threatened,
they're gonna escalate it in a big way. That's what
the article is talking about. They're gonna they're gonna throw
dirt on her, and they're willing to throw her under
the bus if she says anything about his cognitive decline

(29:01):
or any of the other things that were going on
in the White House. So basically, they got their people
out there in the media saying, better keep your mouth shut, lady,
or we're going to tell them some stories that are
going to make your political career be over forever and
ever and ever. These people are mean, they are nasty,
They are rotten to the core, and they don't care
about you and me. They have absolutely no compunction whatsoever

(29:24):
with destroying whatever life they have to destroy for their
own personal gain. And if you think that doesn't include
you or me, I can tell you about people that
are currently in prison right now for praying outside of
an abortion clinic. They don't like it, they don't want
it done. They want to make sure you know that
they are the powerful. Turns out also they want to

(29:48):
have some election interference. Catherine Herridge had an article not
too long ago showing that China that the media knew
China interfered in the twenty twenty eleve and that they
had printed up twenty thousand cash. Betel came out with
it that they had printed up twenty thousand drivers' licenses

(30:09):
and twenty thousand ballots. I think it was, and we're
trying their best to influence the election. Did you hear
about it in the mainstream media? Nope. They just blew
right past it, acted like it didn't matter because they
were complicit in that too. If you hate the media,
you don't possibly hate them enough. They are lying to

(30:30):
you on a daily basis about a lot of stuff.
And if you don't have the the time or the
energy to go find the real truth, shame on you
don't vote then, because if you're not gonna if you're
not going to do the research and know what the
truth is, relying on Rachel matt I was not going
to be the way to determine who or the view
is not going to be the way to determine who

(30:51):
you're going to vote for it is insane to me.

lots of other stuff. Brought to you by Chevrolet Buick

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Here's your host, bow Triven.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
All right, welcome back everybody. So I want to contrast
the way that left thinks and the way people in
the right think with two separate issues. One Ruben Diego,
who is a senator. I think he's the senator from Arizona.

(32:09):
One of them is a Democrat, and he tweeted out
the other day good news, my kid just got into daycare.
Bad news. It would literally be less expensive to send
her to ASU Arizona State University. That's insane. We need
to make childcare cheaper. So everyday families actually have a
fighting chance. So then somebody's tweeted back and said, that's

(32:37):
why I stay home with mine win when and no
woke in doctrination. Now, His response to that particular tweet was, damn,
this one's dark. And I'm like, it's dark to suggest
that your wife stay home with their child, or maybe
I mean, I don't know. I get that a lot

(32:59):
of people can't afford to do that and you have
to work two jobs based on the economy and all
the other stuff, but it's not dark to suggest it.
But also, how are you going to make it cheaper?
Because you guys are all the ones trying to make
minimum wage go up. You've put all the regulations on
all of the businesses that cause all of the issues
to be more expensive than they need to be. And

(33:21):
so people suggesting that maybe if we could bring prices
down on stuff, if we could just artificially trying to
lower the cost of childcare, how are you going to
do that? Make the government pay for it, subsidize it.
By the way, subsidizing something does not make it cheaper.
It just pushes the burden from the business or the

(33:43):
patriots or the people that use the business. To the government,
which is the taxpayers. It doesn't make it cheaper. How
are you going to make it cheaper? Contrast that to
what President Trump did the other day. And if you're

(34:03):
like me, I'm sixty years old now and I am
I have high blood pressure, I have a couple other
things that I have to deal with, and prescription drugs
are expensive. And we've all heard the stories about buses
of people elderly going across and over the border to
Canada to buy the exact same drugs because they're cheaper.
And it's always been baffling to me why the same

(34:26):
drugs are more expensive in the United States when they're
manufactured in the United States or they were developed by
US drug companies, And so why are we paying a
higher price than you can buy the exact same stuff
for in the Bahamas or Mexico or anywhere else. And
it's because the US taxpayer, the US economy, the US
consumer is the one that pays all of the research

(34:49):
and development costs because they can get away with it. Well,
They've had years to try to fix this prescription drug
problem and nobody took it on. And the best way
to take it on would be through legislative action so
that it stuck. But short of a legislative legislative action
where somebody passed a law doing something, the best we
have as a president who will take executive action and

(35:11):
at least make it painful for the next president to
have to undo it. You want to put an executive
order out there, do one that's going to make it
really politically bad for the next president to undo it.
And so what he did was, I'm just going to
read it to you. He put it out on truth
Social He released a letter to the CEOs of more
than a dozen pharmaceutical companies and it said, right now,

(35:36):
brand name drug prices in the United States are up
to three times higher on average than elsewhere for the
identical medicines. This is unacceptable. This unacceptable burden on hard
working American families ends with my administration. And so he
had a plan that was immediate and impactful. And why
nobody else came up with it, I don't know. But
all of you people out there calling the man a fascist,

(35:56):
pay attention to this, because these are the kinds of
things he's doing to help everyday Americans have a better life.
His plan had four components. First, it extended Most Favored
Nation status pricing to Medicaid. That means that Medicaid patients
are going to pay the average price from around the
world for a prescription, not the much higher price they're

(36:19):
used to being charged. So the average price around the world,
if a drug is ten dollars in Mexico and twelve
dollars in Canada, and that's where I'm just using those examples,
it's going to pay eleven dollars in Medicaid versus the
thirty we were paying here in the United States. Second,
the policy extends beyond existing drugs to all new drugs

(36:42):
entering the market. So it's not just the stuff they've
got out there that they've done the research and development
on and paid all those costs that have been out
there for twenty five thirty years. It's all the new
stuff they're going to be launching. Two Third, this move
will force a harder hand in negotiations with foreign countries
on the prices they set elsewhere, will lead them to
actually increase what they pay and more revenue for the companies,

(37:05):
which the increased revenues have to be repatriated to lower
drug prices for American patients and tax fairs through an
explicit agreement with the United States. Make no mistake, The
President wrote, a collaborative effort towards achieving global pricing parity
would be the most effective path for companies, the government,
and American patients. But if you refuse to step up,

(37:26):
we will deploy every tool in our arsenal to protect
American families from continued abusive drug pricing practices. And he
ended it by saying Americans are demanding lower drug prices
and they need them today. Other nations have been free
loading on US innovation for far too long. It's time
they pay their fair share. The Democrats are trying to

(37:46):
find a way not to do it. They're going to
find a way. It's another eighty twenty issue, and they're
going to try to find a way to make sure
that whatever he's trying to do is But because orange
Man bat Right has nothing to do with the policies,
it's just orange man bad, they cannot give him a
win no matter what, even though that is a brilliant idea.
He's forcing the drug companies to say, we're no longer
going to pay for all the research and development costs,

(38:08):
just as United States consumers we're going to spread it
around the world, and everybody else is going to have
to pay their fair share too. Why are we always
the ones that get stung. We come up with the innovations,
and then we can't buy it in our own country
for the same price. That makes no sense, But that's
the difference between a leftist thought process of government needs

(38:30):
to handle it. Government needs to be big in childcare.
We need to find a way to make childcare cheaper.
How are you going to do that other than subsidies?
How does the government make anything cheaper? Period? It doesn't. Ever,
what we need to do is lower all the prescription
drug prices, all of the other prices, and get the
economy back on track so that people can afford to

(38:52):
actually raise their children on one income if they wanted to,
or they can afford childcare because they're making enough money
to make it worthwhile. Look, my kids went to childcare.
I'm good. I believe in it. I had to work,
my wife had to work. We couldn't always do it
without help. But I didn't expect anybody to take the

(39:14):
burden for me. That was me. That was on me.
I had to do it, or I had to make sacrifices.
If I couldn't afford something, I had to make sacrifices
and take it from somewhere else. That's just the way
the world works. So last, but not least, I was
reading an article the other day. It was talking about well,

(39:36):
i'll just read you the headline. It said, women are
finding out modern feminism did them dirty. So there were
there was these two tiktoks or whatever that I saw
of these young ladies. One young lady was walking through
the park and she was talking about how she dresses
up every day and tries to be as cute as
she can look and nobody ever hits on her, nobody.

(40:00):
And she said, I'd settle for a cat call from
a construction worker or something right now. And then there
was another TikTok of two ladies walking home after a
night out. Apparently they were dressed up and had been
to the clubs, and the lady was One lady was
holding her shoes and complaining that no men ever hit
on them, No man ever hit on them, and you know,

(40:22):
buy a girl a drink. I think part of this said,
buy a girl a drink, you know, do something. It's
just nobody ever hits on me, and I'm thinking, we
didn't cause this. Men didn't cause this. We were told
we were lecturerous, we were told we were absolute pigs.
We were told every time that to stay away. And

(40:45):
it's been being beaten into our heads now for the
last forty or fifty years that you're not allowed to
ask a girl out, you're not allowed to hold a
door open for a young lady, you're not allowed to
go get the car door for somebody. That that's what
modern femine is and does. And the Democratic Party has continued,
the people on the left have continued to try to

(41:08):
erode those values that made men men and women women,
and they have you know, men thrive thrive on respect.
We all crave respect. That doesn't mean you have to
bow down to anybody. It's just we like to be
Everybody likes to be respected. But the Democratic Party right

(41:30):
now is incapable of providing respect to young men. They
have been told for years that they are their male
privilege doesn't well, that if they make if they're having
economic trouble, that that doesn't matter because they have male privilege.

(41:53):
That if they if they do something, if they work hard,
and they're going to get their job based on merit,
that they shouldn't get that job because somebody, a man
dressed up as a woman that's underrepresented, should get that
job instead of them. They've been pushed to the side
for years and told we need all of the other

(42:13):
underrepresented groups to get ahead. Even if you've worked your
butt off to be as good as you can at
whatever it is you're trying to be good at, and
you may be better than everybody else, that doesn't matter.
You have male privilege already, and so we have to
find these other people that are going to do the job.
And at some point young men gave up. They just went, hey,

(42:35):
I can't do this anymore. It's just not fun. Every
time I look at a female, all I see is
somebody that's gonna yell at me, or somebody that's going
to file a lawsuit against me or something. And it's
scary out there right now, and I feel for all
the young men coming up. My son's almost thirty years old,

(42:57):
and I'm not sure if he'll ever get into a relationship.
I'm just not sure because we've had this conversation. He said,
it's scary. I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore.
I don't know how I'm supposed to be, but they
got their I mean, let's face it, the Left turn

(43:18):
their backs on men. It's not a party for men.
I don't care what Tim Waltz well Jazz Hands says.
It's not a party for men. And men got their
backs turned on by the Democrats, and they're going to
return to favor if you start looking at all the
polling that men are switching over to the Republican Party

(43:39):
in record numbers. And that's men of all color. It's
not just white sister men or whatever they call them.
It's men of all color because they recognize that good
wholesome values and being a man is a good thing,
and that we need men in this world. And it
is not. We aren't all equal. Some of us are

(44:02):
smarter than others, some of us stronger than others. But
in the end, we still got to be kind to
each other. All right, that's the end of the show.
This is Bonos Cars, rants about lots of other stuff
brought you by Chevrolet Buick JMC of Murphy's Borough. Come
