Speaker 2 (00:31):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, good morning everybody. As always, I hope everybody's
having a great day and uh enjoying the summer and
the time off, maybe vacation. Maybe. Uh, Summer's the best
time of year, at least for me. I like it.
So the other day there was I do not watch
(00:56):
the view. I see clips of it when they say
something stupid, which is normally every day, but I can't
stand the shrieking and the It just drives me nuts.
But they always come up with a clip that is interesting.
On some of the sites that I read the other day,
Sonny Hoston, you know, the privileged Sonny Hoston whose daughter
(01:18):
goes to I think Princeton or one of those Ivy
League schools, and you know, life sucks so bad here
in the United States. Because they you know, we're so
oppressive and so we're a fascist regime and all that.
But you can stand up there and talk crap about
everybody all you want, nothing ever happens to you, and
you can send your daughter somehow, you can be successful
as a black woman, and your daughter can go to
(01:40):
a private Ivy League school and all of that. But
we're such an oppressive nation that you know, it's so
hard to get ahead. Anyways, that little Harpee the other
day had the audacity to say that the Democrats were
going to have to stop taking the moral high ground.
And I thought, you know, I'm not real sure you
(02:03):
should go there. I don't know what you think morality is,
but it certainly was not Ted Kennedy at Chapiquittic where
he let a lady drown in a car and then
tried to hide it so that he didn't get caught.
Or we know John Kennedy, who was probably a pretty
(02:24):
good president, was a philanderer and certainly was having affairs
over and over and over again. The Secret Service wasn't
even hiding it. They were trying. Or let's move on
to Bill Clinton. We all know what he did. I'm
pretty or hey, the topless transsexual that was on the
(02:45):
White House grounds when Biden was president, or the bag
of coke that was left in the White House. Get
out of here with all of this taking the moral
high ground. But the one that I can't it just
drives me nuts, drives me nuts, is Hillary. She cannot
go away for nothing. She just is going to just
(03:06):
keep sticking her crawl into to politics and the United
States of America public for whatever reason. And she thinks
she's liked screeching lady man man. Anyways, Buzz Patterson was
in the the UH. I don't follow anybody on X,
I don't do X, but I read certain clips. But
(03:27):
Buzz Patterson was in the White House during the Clinton administration,
and he Hillary tweeted out the other day when they
were all in and uproar over the UFC being on
the White House grounds and oh my gosh, you're just
desecrating the White House grounds and blah blah blah blah blah.
Hillary tweeted out, remember during today's literal cage match on
the White House grounds, No matter what, it's not his house,
(03:50):
it's our house. Then she went on to grift a
little bit and went on with get a hat, a coaster,
a sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect
and form the form and function of the People's House.
So buzz Patterson responded to her, and I don't normally
like to just read them with her this long, but
I'm gonna read this one to you because it just
(04:11):
cracked me up. Ma'am. I was the Air Force lieutenant
colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside
that people's house you're suddenly so precious about. I saw
it all up close for two years. While Bill was
getting blank blank in the office Oval office from an
intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air
Force one, You and your staff treated the military with
(04:33):
open disdain, like we were the help, not the men
and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for
anything non Clinton was palpable. You lecture about respect the
institution while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged
it off, And when you finally slinked out in two
thousand and one, you and your crew trashed the place. Vandalism, theft,
glue and drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left
(04:57):
behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it classy
exit from the people's House. The White House belongs to
the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected
a fighter who actually respects the military and the office.
Keep driving off poor kids in Haiti and selling your
merchant clutching pearls. Sit down, muh. The adults are back
(05:18):
in charge. And you know it has to absolutely drive
that woman nuts when somebody that knows and calls it
out in perfect detail exactly what we're talking about when
we talk about having no morals. The woman has no morals.
She literally trashed every woman that came forward with allegations
(05:43):
about her husband. And by the way, I've always been taught,
where there's smoke, there's probably fire. And when you have
that many women accusing the same man of the same
behavior over and over and over again, it absolutely is
astounding to me that you have the audacity to say
(06:05):
anything about our house. It's not your house. You're the Clintons.
Get out go. You've been gone for years and years
and years. The people voted, and they voted you out.
They did not allow you to take the White House. Ms. Clinton.
Thank goodness, I wonder where we'd be now. Anyways, it
thought it was funny. So I'm real quick because I
(06:27):
don't have a lot of time left in this segment.
I wanted to mention it. The little girl. I don't
know if you guys saw it. Little girl that was
in Dundee, Scotland. Lola and Ruby Moore were walking home
and she's the little girl that flashed the axe and
the knife because she said that these migrants were harassing
her and her sister everybody, and he got them to
(06:49):
They arrested the twelve year old girl for the knife,
and the turns out after everybody said that she wasn't
just carrying it to save herself and it didn't happen
that way and the migrants weren't doing anything. The guy
and his sister pled guilty recently to absolutely doing exactly
what the little girl said that they did. They were
(07:10):
sexually harassing her and her sister and through one of
the twelve year olds to the ground. The guy was
doing it. Then he called his sister therefrom. I don't know,
I think it was Bulgaria or something, but they after
they trashed this little girl and put her in jail,
twelve year old because they were protecting the migrants and
(07:31):
said the migrants didn't do anything wrong. Turns out, after
investigating and actually finding out what happened, the little girl
was right and was vindicated. And I just I find
it hard to believe that all of that's still happening
in the UK daily and nobody's changing it. They're trying
to actively ruin the country, just like they are here. Anyways,
(07:53):
come on back after the break. This is Bono's Cars,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac of Murphysborough.
Speaker 1 (08:13):

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

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All right, we'll come back everybody. So you had to
have heard by now we have the first trillionaire in
the world. And uh you ever listened to the show?
You know, I'm excited about it. Great because normal thinking
people don't have They're not envious and they don't care
(09:01):
that there's a trillionaire out there. They're not triggered by
Elon Musk's wealth. The man is the single largest taxpayer
in the history of the United States of America. To
say he doesn't pay his fair shares absolutely ludicrous. And
by the way, he doesn't have a trillion dollars just
sitting in a vault. He's got companies that he created
that are he owned stock in that are worth a
(09:22):
trillion dollars. And when he sells that stock one way
or another, he will pay the taxes on it. If
it's long term, he will pay twenty four percent of
the of that money. So that's what two hundred and
forty billion dollars. Anyways, people I don't understand. I read
an article the other day. I'm just going to read
part of it to you real quick because it's it
(09:43):
explains the lefty mentality, says, unless you've been living under
a rock, you know by now, with SpaceX initial public offering,
Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire. The implications
of this for all of us and our ground grandchildren
are many and far reaching. Of course, the leftist found
a way to narrow it down to the one simple idea,
his money is our money, or it should be. That's
(10:06):
not the way they say it. What leftists actually are
saying is he doesn't pay enough in taxes. Why for
the sole reason that he's rich. If you're a leftist,
rich people are never paying their fair share. This is
the politics of envy, and if you study the vast
majority of leftist messaging at any time on any topic,
envy is a critical component. In fact, i'd go as
(10:27):
far as to say that the Democrats and the left
at large decided to quit being jealous of the right,
the left would die as a movement in less than
twenty four hours. So I thought about this the other day,
and you know, you know what's rich to leftists anybody
that has more than they do. Because Rocana, who is
a congressperson who's worth two hundred and estimates are between
(10:51):
two hundred and twenty five and two hundred and fifty
million dollars by anybody's estimation other than people who are billionaires,
and even them, Rocana is rich. Two hundred and fifty
million dollars is generational wealth that's been created. I don't
care how he created it. Have at it long as
you didn't steal it from somebody, or grift or commit fraud.
(11:14):
I'm proud of you have at it. Man, go for it,
make your money, make money. But here's what he tweeted out,
this is the basic difference. Well, let me go back.
There was another tweet that he was responding to from
a guy named Don Wilson that said, I'm highly confident
society will derive greater benefit if that capital is in
(11:34):
Elon's hands than in the hands of the government. So Rocanna,
he of two hundred fifty million dollar wealth, responded, this
is the basic difference. Republicans believe that if you let
the wealthy spend capital, it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats
believe that the federal government investing in them in the
healthcare and education of our people will make America prosperous
(11:57):
and productive. Now, let me read that one sentence to
you again. Republicans believe that if you let the wealthy
spend capital, let them it's theirs. They earned it. I
don't know what Rokana did to earn his two hundred
and fifty million dollars, but he earned it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's his.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's not the government's money and putting capital in the
hands of capitalists and entrepreneurs is what created SpaceX. If
you had taxed PayPal when Elon Musk made all the
money the first place to start Tesla, we would no
longer If you had taxed him at fifty sixty seventy
percent like they're trying to think about doing, you would
(12:36):
have no Tesla, you'd have no boring company, you'd have
no SpaceX, you'd have no Starlink, You'd have none of
those because he wouldn't have had the capital to go
on and move and create other businesses. Fools, You cannot
You can't get to be worth two hundred and fifty
million dollars and not have some economic sense. So there's
(12:56):
no way you can tell me he doesn't have economic sense.
And if you then he went on to talk about
saying that if you only taxed a five percent wealth tax,
that it'd be enough to send everybody to college. It
wouldn't be enough to send everybody to college for two
semesters if you taxed him one hundred percent of it,
(13:17):
of his trillion dollars, if it would, we've got why
do we have four trillion dollars in student debt. I mean, seriously,
do you really believe this crap? The fact that you
allow people to have their money and do things with it.
It's their money to do with as they please. And
by the way, a lot of them do a lot
(13:39):
of good outside of just creating more wealth. But by
the way, you know what Rocana missed in his little
speech there. He missed the fact that when SpaceX went public,
Elon had given everybody down to the janitor sucks and
those stocks he created something like I don't know, I
(13:59):
read it. I think it was five or six hundred,
seven hundred millionaires instantly when the IPO happened, because they
had they got their stock. Do you know that it
wasn't too long ago? It probably it may not be
this way now, but I know, not too far in
the past. The company that created the most millionaires in
(14:21):
the United States of America was UPS. Ups created the
most millionaires, more people retired as millionaires from UPS than
any other company. Why because they gave them stock in
the company, and they had some inherent need to make
the company better. They had a little bit of stake
in it, and that made them want to do their
(14:42):
jobs a little more efficient. Save the company money when
they could do the drive safely so they didn't have
to spend it on insurance. Elon Musk, you act like
nobody else got rich when SpaceX went public. Lots of
people now have SpaceX in their four one k's, lots
of people have it in their other portfolios that are
(15:04):
helping them create some more wealth. I mean, for goodness sakes,
why are you trying to tax everybody? You really think
the government can do it? Because that leads into the
next thing that I was going to talk about, which
is if the government could do it. I read an
estimate the other day that something like four hundred to
five hundred billion dollars a year at the federal level.
(15:29):
Four or five hundred billion dollars a year at the
federal level is fraud, waste, and abuse. Now, what happens
That number grows exponentially when you send the money to
the states, and then they have their own fraud, waste
and abuse in the states too. So that federal level
was just Medicare at the federal level. But if you
(15:52):
move that down and the federal government sends I don't know,
I'm using a number, I don't know what it actually
is thirty billion dollars to the state of California for
Medicaid or Medicare, and out of that thirty billion, another
three or four billion gets used as waste, fraud, and abuse.
You think the government is more efficient at running things
(16:13):
than the businesses and the entrepreneurs that created things. You
wouldn't have anything to tax if it wasn't for entrepreneurs
and hardworking people out there busting their hump every single day.
But these elitists think somehow it's their money that they
have to get their grubby little hands on because Elon
created something. I saw a post the other day from
(16:37):
John Harwood, who is an empty suit that used to
be on CNBC, and he is, Oh my gosh, he
is unbearable to me now once I found out what
his politics were, it's just unbearable. So Mark Wayne Mullen,
who is our Department of Homeland Security secretary now started
in a plumbing company, didn't go to college, started a
(17:00):
plumbing company because his dad died when he was like
eighteen or nineteen years old. He took his dad six
person plumbing company and built it into one hundred million
dollar business through hard work effort. Nobody gave him anything.
He built it. And so Mark Wayne Mullin tweeted out
or what it posted the other day, something to the
(17:20):
effect of New Yorkers are going hopefully New Yorkers will
wake up in the next in four years and not
vote a socialist communist into parties that I think they're
going to I think they're going to be regretting what
they did. Something like that, and John Harwood tweeted back, Yeah,
New Yorkers really want a plumber from Oklahoma telling them
(17:42):
what to do. And I thought, you elitist pig, you
think that because he's a plumber from Oklahoma, you're better
than him. The man created a company that employed hundreds
of people, kept food on all of their tables, and
helped their families, and did it through sheer, hard work
and effort and determination. And you think he's not smart
(18:06):
enough because he just didn't go to college and get
some elite degree. That's what's wrong with that party. All
of those elites on the coasts think that none of
us know what we're doing or have any way. We
were just knuckle draggers that have no way of thinking
for ourselves. And if it wasn't for them telling us
what to do every day. We wouldn't be able to survive.
(18:27):
You know what, you can't survive without a plumber. I've
needed a plumber way more than I've ever needed a
journalist or a politician. And I promise you let your
stuff get backed up and you will want that plumber
who knows what he's doing running to your rescue. And
when he tells you know you're too elite for me,
I can't handle it. Then you walk around in your
(18:47):
own stuff, suffer elite pigs. It just drives me nuts.
All Right, I've ranted enough. This is Bonos Cars brought
to you by Chevrolet Buick GMS she of Murphy's Borough.
Come on back. After the break.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
With over thirty years in the auto industry, he has
deciding to pull back the curtain and show you what's
really inside. This is Bowen's Cars, brought to you by
Chevrolet Buick GMC of Murphreysborough. For all of your automotive
needs call six one five six four five one zero

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So I didn't quite get
to finish what I was talking about. When it came
to the waste fraud and abuse, I ranted for a
little longer than I should have because I had some
another part of this I wanted to talk about. So
I'm gonna finish that up for and move on to
the next subject I want to talk about. So the
other day, Andrew Ferguson, who is the Federal Trade Commission Chairman,
(20:04):
was on Fox News and was talking about the waste
fraud and abuse and he was had a conversation I
think it was with Kaylee Mcanenny, who used to be
in the Trump administration, but then she moved on to
Fox News, I think. Anyways, he goes on now and
(20:25):
talks about how they have started a task force to
eliminate waste fraud and abuse. It says the GSA, the
General Services Administration, have found that over four hundred businesses
with contracts totaling six billion dollars that was allocate originally
(20:47):
allocated during the Biden administration, had no physical address none.
The business was just a PO box, which is a
statutory requirement. By the way, you're supposed to have a
physical address. You're supposed to be a physical business. So
they go on and start talking about that, how they're
starting to get some indictments and convictions in just last
(21:11):
week that were worth over half a billion dollars, which
is not a drop in the bucket, but they're continuing, well,
it is dropping the bucket, but it's not a small
amount of money, and they're continuing to try to do that.
He goes on and said, dishonest citizens and tons and
tons of foreigners and foreign governments have been putting their
hands into the pockets of ordinary and honest Americans and
taking that money from them. And President Trump is the
(21:32):
first president to take this problem seriously, and that's why
the task course is being successful. So then Kaylee asked him,
She said, so, is there a single Democrat governor that's
shown any initiative and trying to help identify the fraud
And his answer was no. In fact, I've heard from
Democrat governors until early this week that fraud isn't a problem,
it's all a hoax, it's a distraction. Now we know
(21:56):
it's not a hoax. We know it's not a distraction.
It's hundreds of billions of dollars being wasted and fraudulently
taken or supporting Somali gangs because Somalians are ripping us
off and sending it back to Somalia to support gangs.
That's not what our tax dollars were supposed to be for.
(22:17):
He said. They've been sitting on top of tens of
billions of dollars in known fraud for decades and doing
nothing about it. And not just doing nothing about it,
they've been facilitating it. He said. Here's an example. The
government sends tens of millions of dollars to states every
year to fund Medicaid and Medicare fraud fighting units. We
spend tens of millions of dollars to each state to
(22:39):
help fight fraud. Hawaii just since twenty twenty one has
gotten millions and millions of dollars from the federal government
to fight medicaid fraud. And they've had zero convictions since
twenty twenty one, so we know it. There's some there's
fraud happening. How do you have zero convictions in five
years after spending tens of millions of dollars to supposedly
(23:02):
fight fraud. You're either in on it, you're grifting it.
Something is happening. There is no way that's possible. All right,
moving on to the other subject that I wanted to cover,
and it's a touchy subject, and I had a for
those of you who listen to the show for very long,
you know that my general manager, who I love dearly,
(23:27):
is incredible guy Bubba. Bubba's black, and he's been with
me now since twenty ten. I think he was with
me in my cell stores and helped me do a
great job growing that, and now he has helped me
do a great job at the dealership. And he is
an awesome guy. And we talk a lot about this.
(23:47):
But the Carlo car the can't talk. The Carmelo anthony
trial that ended last week exposed so much hatred that
I didn't understand and didn't know why it was happening.
And I asked him, I said, is that real? I mean,
(24:07):
what those people are saying about the only good cracker
is a dead cracker. Do people feel that way? Because
I can tell you if it was the roles were
reversed and it was anybody, a white person saying the
same thing, there would be an uproar from all of
the white people, all of us right or left. It
doesn't matter that stuff has gone by the wayside for
(24:30):
so long. It Does it exist in pockets of hateful people,
absolutely absolutely, But does it exist as an overall I
don't think so. I've never seen it. And I grew
up in a town in Flager County, Florida. When my
father bought the Ford Dealership in nineteen seventy six, they
(24:51):
still had two water fountains in the county courthouse. This
was there was a line delineating the blacks and the
white this town. It was a very small town. It
had one red light in the entire county when I
grew up there, and we had two schools. The elementary
school went from kate through six and the high school
went from seventh through twelfth. But it was the last
(25:13):
school in the country to desegregate. So I grew up
in an area like that. But I also never really
saw it. It didn't really happen that way. But this
Carmelo Anthony trial exposed a lot of that, and I
just didn't understand it. And I think that it's really
sad that it that there are people that believe that
(25:40):
because I'm white, that I can't be unbiased about just facts.
The facts are the kid stabbed him, and I saw
Jasmine Crockett the other day try to actually justify it
by saying he only stabbed him once, and then she
went on to try to say that the knife was
(26:01):
just like a Swiss army knife, a little one. If
you saw a picture of this knife, it is an
absolute knife. It is not some pen knife. It's not
something you clean your nails with. It's a full fledged
knife sold at Walmart. But it's got about a four
or five inch blade. And when he stabbed that metcalf,
(26:21):
kid the corner said that it left a two inch
gaping wound in his heart. That was unsurvivable. I don't
care whether it was white, black, brown, blue, green, whatever.
You killed a man, you have to have some consequences
for that. It was not self defense, and we know
that because everybody in the courtroom saw the video that
(26:46):
showed everything. It was grainy, you couldn't see much of it,
but you could see that he wasn't being attacked. I
just don't understand why it had to how race relations
got set back so far at this point that it
feels like we have we've just gone the wrong way.
(27:11):
But I read an article the other day by Colonel
Alan West, who is a he writes on some of
the he ran for governor, or he ran for office
in Texas, I believe. But he wrote an article the
other day and it was about him growing up at
(27:31):
he's sixty five years old, and he grew up in
the blacks only segregated Hugh Spaulding Hospital, or he was
born in a segregated hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. And then
he grew up in the old fourth Ward neighborhood, which
was where doctor Martin Luther King was from. But he
(27:53):
goes on to say that when it the thing that
created the problem, And this is the same thing that
Bubba was telling me, because when I was asking him,
I said, what happened. Bubba's got two sons, both of
them work for us. Both of them are awesome. Both
of them are absolutely respectful, They do their jobs, they
work hard. His oldest son, James, started with me as
(28:14):
a porter lot boy porter and has worked his way
up to being a finance manager. Has been a finance
manager now for about four years and does an absolute
incredible job. And his youngest son just got out of
boot camp for ROTC or the Reserves and is now
selling cars for us and also does a heck of
(28:35):
a job, and he said the same thing that Alan
West said, that it's the lack of a father figure
in the house, which started when Democrat President Lyndon Baines
Johnson had a policy for the government to provide checks
to women if you had kids out of wedlock, and
(28:56):
the caveat was that they had couldn't have a work
man in the home. So in one fell swoop, he
destroyed what it's been sustained when in nineteen the sixties,
seventy percent of black families had two parents, about the
same percentage as white families, but now that's down to
(29:16):
something like fifteen percent. And I just I don't know
how we get out of this loop, because we are
finding ways to destroy our country that we don't need
to have. It's the same thing with OJ Simpson. There
were I saw the other day where a juror that
(29:38):
sat on OJ Simpson's trial said that it was that
the verdict was payback for Rodney King, and yeah admitted
that the verdict was payback for Rodney King. Another jur
that was a former Black panther but presented as a
mild mannered potential juror with no bias and successfully kept
(30:01):
us past hid and thrust his fist in the air
and glee as retribution and solidarity in the black community.
And look, I understand being proud of your community, being
proud of your heritage. I'm all for it. But we
have to get to a place where we can still
be respectful for each other and love each other and
not have to have this hate filled speech. It's just
it doesn't need to be that way. And I don't
(30:23):
know how we break it, but I would love to
find some way to do that. And I don't know.
It's it's frustrating to me because I feel like the
government and the leaders are not doing what's necessary. They're
continuing to fan the flames. Jasmine Crockett could have been
(30:44):
a voice of reason, but she wasn't. She fanned the
flames even more and said the same thing. I came, Jeffreys,
all of them they say the same stuff and they
fan the flames and it makes it even worse. All right. Anyways,
this is Bonos Cars, brought to you by Chevrolet, Buick,
GMC and Cadillac of Murphy's Borough. Come on back after
the break.
Speaker 1 (31:16):

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

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
All right, welcome back everybody. We got a couple of
things I want to talk about in this segment. We've
a little faster than I want to But one I
don't know if you guys caught it. But the other
day Hunter Biden was uh on the podcast for Gavin Newsom,
(32:03):
who by the way, is also in a little bit
of hot water. It looks like seems like the DOJ
has opened some investigations into the Gavin Newsom, his wife,
Jennifer Cybel Newsom, and their chief of staff or their
former chief of staff, who by the way, just pled
guilty to three felonies. One was wire and bank fraud,
one was tax evasion, and one was something else. And
(32:27):
now they've opened up this investigation. It turns out he
says that it's just Trump weaponizing the DOJ. But the
fact of the matter is they opened the investigation during
the Biden administration because of whistleblowers in Sacramento saying there's
something going wrong here. His finances don't add up, and
so I don't know if they'll find anything or not.
(32:49):
But what I do know is it seems a lot
like his you know, the he doth doubt, he doth
protest too much. It seems like this might turn out
to be one of those John Bolton things what I
talked about last week, where John Bolton slammed everybody and
said it was just Trump trying to weaponize the DJ
and coming after his enemies and blah blah, blah, blah blah,
and then pled guilty to enough charges that could land
(33:12):
him in jail for up to thirty five or forty years.
When presented with the evidence, he went, yeah, I'll take
that deal because that one looks like better than one
I might get if I don't play guilty. So I
still reserve judgment on whether it's the weaponization of the
DOJ or whether Gavin Newsom actually did some bad stuff. Anyways,
Hunter Biden was on Gavin Newsom's podcast talking about Graham Plattner,
(33:36):
the UH Nazi communist from Maine who's running for the
main Senate seat, and Hunter goes on to talk about
how Graham Platner's getting a raw deal, and I'm thinking, Okay,
so this makes sense. We got a an absolute dirt
(33:56):
bag that slept with his dead brother's wife talking to
another scumbag who slept with his best friend's campaign manager's wife,
about another scumbag who cheated on his fiance and then
sexted a dozen women right after getting married. So if
that's not the uh peak of democracy or that party,
(34:22):
I don't know what it is. And they want to
talk about Trump not having any morals or ethics. Seriously,
you slept with your dead brother's wife, you slept with
your campaign manager's wife, and cheated on your wife at
the same time, and then said you did it because
you were an alcoholic, but then said said you went
to rehabit, then said you never did because you weren't
an alcoholic, and took it all back. And you guys
(34:44):
are the ones talking trying to defend the Nazi. And
by the way, when the same party that has Scott
Wiener out in California, who had a campaign event that
featured a bunch of drag queens and one mocking women
and dressed as a pig that was singing. Wiener is
a girl's best friend. Guy's name is Scott Wiener in
(35:07):
front of kids. Disgusting. And these are the same people
who somehow want to lecture us, you know, as knuckle
draggers about having some class and having some You know,
it's the elitists that know what to do and how
to take care of us. Remind me never to be
like any of you guys. All right, Moving on? So
(35:31):
I talk about England a lot, and some of it
is because England is a reflection Europe used to be,
setting the pace for where the US would be in
ten fifteen years, a couple of generations maybe, But I
don't want any part of being like that. Now you
know that polygamy is not legal in the UK under
(35:53):
UK law. Under UK law only one marriage is or
civil partnership is permitted at a time. So if you
go into a second marriage while already legally married is
a criminal offense punished pable up to seven years in prison,
unless you have you immigrate or migrate to the UK
(36:16):
and already have two or three four wives and then
the UK will hand you an extra sixty five hundred
pounds to second and third wives, so you can benefit
by having two wives or three wives in the UK
as long as you're not from the UK. Make it
make sense. But they also have this thing called the
(36:39):
BBC that I think is the British Broadcasting Company. I
think that's what it stands for. And the other day
the British Broadcasting Company, who is there? They are ms
now on steroids. They are so far left that it's scary.
And they did a feature the other day that is
absolutely disgusting. They the headline was selling children to survive.
(37:09):
Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices and the article
is about how Afghan fathers are selling their five, six
seven year old daughters to other men, supposedly to pay
for food or whatever. They're not selling their sons, just
their daughters. And somehow, so here was the tweet that
(37:32):
I thought somehow summed it all up. It says, yeah,
it's quite a feat to describe a young girl being
sold into sex slavery and framing the narrative to portray
the person who sold her as the sympathetic figure in
the story. Guys talks about having to come home. I
got parts lips. I was hungry, thirsty and confused, and
my children going to be saying, give us some bread,
But what can I give that? Where is the work?
(37:53):
And so he and by the way, this is all
in Afghanistan, which we turned back over to the bad
guys in that disgusting display of not knowing what we're
doing when we withdrew from afghan and it is now,
all of a sudden, the girls are right back where
(38:14):
they were. They can't go to school, they're being sold
at five and six years old. It's just absolutely disgusting
that they're somehow making it sound sympathetic to men who
are selling their daughters. That is called slavery or sex
child trafficking. And not only is it not legal, it's
in the laws over there that they can do that stuff.
(38:34):
And we're importing these people into our United States of
America to somehow assimilate into our culture. I don't want
that culture coming over here. I don't want any part
of that being part of our culture. And if you do,
there's something wrong with you selling your five year old daughter.
(38:56):
I would starve to death before or I would absolutely
and before I would let my daughters be sold. I
wouldn't eat a bite until they were fed. If that's
what you don't have the babies. If you can't feed them,
don't have them. But to have them to be able
(39:16):
to sell them to make money. That is sick sickness.
All right, I'm gonna get onto something fun here for
a second. So we've done this before many times. There
have been so many studies talking about liberals are not
as happy as conservatives right there. I mean, there's tons
(39:40):
of studies that say it, and I've read bunches of them.
But there was one the other day that confirmed and
I'm going to quote mental illnesses emergency is emerging as
its own political identity and is most heavily aligned with
the leftist political ideology and causes. Study came from a
(40:01):
twenty twenty two cooperative election study that found that conservatives
are way less likely to frame every day anxiety or
a bad week or you know, some stress as a
mental health condition. Look, I got stress every day. I'm
running a business with one hundred and thirty five employees.
I'm gonna have stress. I'm gonna have bad days, But
I don't think I have any mental health issues.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I just had a bad day.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
I need to wake up, pull up my bootstraps, and
get to work. Things are gonna go wrong, that's what
you know. Every day I get up and go to
the gym at five o'clock in the morning. Why because
it's I'm committed to getting it done. It's hard work.
It doesn't feel good, but it's hard work. And my
trainer and I talk about it all the time. People
(40:45):
those who who are successful, or those who are willing
to do things other people aren't willing to do. But
I don't have to frame everything as somebody's supposed to
give me something, somebody suppo owes me something. And I
certainly don't have a mental health issue that I have
to deal with. Look, I have lived with people who
have serious mental health issues. I am not putting that down.
(41:07):
I am not saying that mental health issues don't exist.
I'm saying that if not everything is a mental health issue.
And I always wondered, and I've said this before, does
that party attract people with mental health issues? Or do
(41:27):
you get in? Does the indoctrination of all of the
bad things and the victimization and the oppressed and oppressor's
dynamic is that what causes the mental illness. And I
don't know the answer, but I think the personal responsibility
and the conversation talking to the big man upstairs that
(41:51):
I think that works for me a lot better than
going to talking to a therapist. And so the other
part of that was another study that came out that
said how proud are you to be an American? And overall,
fifty six percent said extremely or very and twenty one percent,
(42:16):
one out of every five people living in the United
States of America right now say that they are not
very or zero proud to be an American. Seriously, where
do you think is better? You think those European countries
are better? I defy you to go live over there
for a year and a half two years. Food's great.
(42:36):
They've got a lot of good, great culture, but they
also have some serious problems. But here was the other
part of it. By party. If you're in the GOP,
ninety percent of the people in the GOP say they're
extremely or very proud to be an American, and only
twenty nine percent of Dems. Seventy five percent of people
(42:58):
sixty five and over said they were extremely very proud
to be an American, And only thirty six percent of
people eighteen to thirty four. Now here's what I'm going
to tell you. I'm proud to be an American, no
matter who's the president. I'm proud to be an American,
no matter who's running the country, who's in charge. You
(43:19):
know why, because I'm not necessarily aligned with any one
human being or any one ideology. I think we live
in the greatest country on earth, and I think we
we will continue to be the greatest country on Earth.
We created the first trillionaire. Good for him. I think
that being proud of your country, being proud of your heritage,
(43:41):
that's a good thing. And constantly beating the drum of
it's not great to be an American? Where is there better?
I saw Bob de Niro the other day talking about
it's hard to like his country anymore. Then get out.
You got the country that helped you make hundreds of
millions of dollars. Yeah, get out. We're good, all right.
This is Bonos Cars Ranch about lots of other stuff,
brought to you by Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac of

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

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
All right, good morning everybody. As always, I hope everybody's
having a great day and uh enjoying the summer and
the time off, maybe vacation. Maybe. Uh, Summer's the best
time of year, at least for me. I like it.
So the other day there was I do not watch
(00:56):
the view. I see clips of it when they say
something stupid, which is normally every day, but I can't
stand the shrieking and the It just drives me nuts.
But they always come up with a clip that is interesting.
On some of the sites that I read the other day,
Sonny Hoston, you know, the privileged Sonny Hoston whose daughter
(01:18):
goes to I think Princeton or one of those Ivy
League schools, and you know, life sucks so bad here
in the United States. Because they you know, we're so
oppressive and so we're a fascist regime and all that.
But you can stand up there and talk crap about
everybody all you want, nothing ever happens to you, and
you can send your daughter somehow, you can be successful
as a black woman, and your daughter can go to
(01:40):
a private Ivy League school and all of that. But
we're such an oppressive nation that you know, it's so
hard to get ahead. Anyways, that little Harpee the other
day had the audacity to say that the Democrats were
going to have to stop taking the moral high ground.
And I thought, you know, I'm not real sure you
(02:03):
should go there. I don't know what you think morality is,
but it certainly was not Ted Kennedy at Chapiquittic where
he let a lady drown in a car and then
tried to hide it so that he didn't get caught.
Or we know John Kennedy, who was probably a pretty
(02:24):
good president, was a philanderer and certainly was having affairs
over and over and over again. The Secret Service wasn't
even hiding it. They were trying. Or let's move on
to Bill Clinton. We all know what he did. I'm
pretty or hey, the topless transsexual that was on the
(02:45):
White House grounds when Biden was president, or the bag
of coke that was left in the White House. Get
out of here with all of this taking the moral
high ground. But the one that I can't it just
drives me nuts, drives me nuts, is Hillary. She cannot
go away for nothing. She just is going to just
(03:06):
keep sticking her crawl into to politics and the United
States of America public for whatever reason. And she thinks
she's liked screeching lady man man. Anyways, Buzz Patterson was
in the the UH. I don't follow anybody on X,
I don't do X, but I read certain clips. But
(03:27):
Buzz Patterson was in the White House during the Clinton administration,
and he Hillary tweeted out the other day when they
were all in and uproar over the UFC being on
the White House grounds and oh my gosh, you're just
desecrating the White House grounds and blah blah blah blah blah.
Hillary tweeted out, remember during today's literal cage match on
the White House grounds, No matter what, it's not his house,
(03:50):
it's our house. Then she went on to grift a
little bit and went on with get a hat, a coaster,
a sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect
and form the form and function of the People's House.
So buzz Patterson responded to her, and I don't normally
like to just read them with her this long, but
I'm gonna read this one to you because it just
(04:11):
cracked me up. Ma'am. I was the Air Force lieutenant
colonel who carried the nuclear football for your husband inside
that people's house you're suddenly so precious about. I saw
it all up close for two years. While Bill was
getting blank blank in the office Oval office from an
intern and groping female Air Force enlisted crew on Air
Force one, You and your staff treated the military with
(04:33):
open disdain, like we were the help, not the men
and women sworn to protect this nation. The disrespect for
anything non Clinton was palpable. You lecture about respect the
institution while your husband lost the nuclear codes and shrugged
it off, And when you finally slinked out in two
thousand and one, you and your crew trashed the place. Vandalism, theft,
glue and drawers, obscene messages, stolen property, and filth left
(04:57):
behind for the next administration. The GAO confirmed it classy
exit from the people's House. The White House belongs to
the American people, not your grifting dynasty. They just elected
a fighter who actually respects the military and the office.
Keep driving off poor kids in Haiti and selling your
merchant clutching pearls. Sit down, muh. The adults are back
(05:18):
in charge. And you know it has to absolutely drive
that woman nuts when somebody that knows and calls it
out in perfect detail exactly what we're talking about when
we talk about having no morals. The woman has no morals.
She literally trashed every woman that came forward with allegations
(05:43):
about her husband. And by the way, I've always been taught,
where there's smoke, there's probably fire. And when you have
that many women accusing the same man of the same
behavior over and over and over again, it absolutely is
astounding to me that you have the audacity to say
(06:05):
anything about our house. It's not your house. You're the Clintons.
Get out go. You've been gone for years and years
and years. The people voted, and they voted you out.
They did not allow you to take the White House. Ms. Clinton.
Thank goodness, I wonder where we'd be now. Anyways, it
thought it was funny. So I'm real quick because I
(06:27):
don't have a lot of time left in this segment.
I wanted to mention it. The little girl. I don't
know if you guys saw it. Little girl that was
in Dundee, Scotland. Lola and Ruby Moore were walking home
and she's the little girl that flashed the axe and
the knife because she said that these migrants were harassing
her and her sister everybody, and he got them to
(06:49):
They arrested the twelve year old girl for the knife,
and the turns out after everybody said that she wasn't
just carrying it to save herself and it didn't happen
that way and the migrants weren't doing anything. The guy
and his sister pled guilty recently to absolutely doing exactly
what the little girl said that they did. They were
(07:10):
sexually harassing her and her sister and through one of
the twelve year olds to the ground. The guy was
doing it. Then he called his sister therefrom. I don't know,
I think it was Bulgaria or something, but they after
they trashed this little girl and put her in jail,
twelve year old because they were protecting the migrants and
(07:31):
said the migrants didn't do anything wrong. Turns out, after
investigating and actually finding out what happened, the little girl
was right and was vindicated. And I just I find
it hard to believe that all of that's still happening
in the UK daily and nobody's changing it. They're trying
to actively ruin the country, just like they are here. Anyways,
(07:53):
come on back after the break. This is Bono's Cars,
brought to you by Chevrolet Buick GMC and Cadillac of Murphysborough.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
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 bow No'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
(08:33):
dot com.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Here's your host, Bowtriven.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
All right, we'll come back everybody. So you had to
have heard by now we have the first trillionaire in
the world. And uh you ever listened to the show?
You know, I'm excited about it. Great because normal thinking
people don't have They're not envious and they don't care
(09:01):
that there's a trillionaire out there. They're not triggered by
Elon Musk's wealth. The man is the single largest taxpayer
in the history of the United States of America. To
say he doesn't pay his fair shares absolutely ludicrous. And
by the way, he doesn't have a trillion dollars just
sitting in a vault. He's got companies that he created
that are he owned stock in that are worth a
(09:22):
trillion dollars. And when he sells that stock one way
or another, he will pay the taxes on it. If
it's long term, he will pay twenty four percent of
the of that money. So that's what two hundred and
forty billion dollars. Anyways, people I don't understand. I read
an article the other day. I'm just going to read
part of it to you real quick because it's it
(09:43):
explains the lefty mentality, says, unless you've been living under
a rock, you know by now, with SpaceX initial public offering,
Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire. The implications
of this for all of us and our ground grandchildren
are many and far reaching. Of course, the leftist found
a way to narrow it down to the one simple idea,
his money is our money, or it should be. That's
(10:06):
not the way they say it. What leftists actually are
saying is he doesn't pay enough in taxes. Why for
the sole reason that he's rich. If you're a leftist,
rich people are never paying their fair share. This is
the politics of envy, and if you study the vast
majority of leftist messaging at any time on any topic,
envy is a critical component. In fact, i'd go as
(10:27):
far as to say that the Democrats and the left
at large decided to quit being jealous of the right,
the left would die as a movement in less than
twenty four hours. So I thought about this the other day,
and you know, you know what's rich to leftists anybody
that has more than they do. Because Rocana, who is
a congressperson who's worth two hundred and estimates are between
(10:51):
two hundred and twenty five and two hundred and fifty
million dollars by anybody's estimation other than people who are billionaires,
and even them, Rocana is rich. Two hundred and fifty
million dollars is generational wealth that's been created. I don't
care how he created it. Have at it long as
you didn't steal it from somebody, or grift or commit fraud.
(11:14):
I'm proud of you have at it. Man, go for it,
make your money, make money. But here's what he tweeted out,
this is the basic difference. Well, let me go back.
There was another tweet that he was responding to from
a guy named Don Wilson that said, I'm highly confident
society will derive greater benefit if that capital is in
(11:34):
Elon's hands than in the hands of the government. So Rocanna,
he of two hundred fifty million dollar wealth, responded, this
is the basic difference. Republicans believe that if you let
the wealthy spend capital, it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats
believe that the federal government investing in them in the
healthcare and education of our people will make America prosperous
(11:57):
and productive. Now, let me read that one sentence to
you again. Republicans believe that if you let the wealthy
spend capital, let them it's theirs. They earned it. I
don't know what Rokana did to earn his two hundred
and fifty million dollars, but he earned it.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's his.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
It's not the government's money and putting capital in the
hands of capitalists and entrepreneurs is what created SpaceX. If
you had taxed PayPal when Elon Musk made all the
money the first place to start Tesla, we would no
longer If you had taxed him at fifty sixty seventy
percent like they're trying to think about doing, you would
(12:36):
have no Tesla, you'd have no boring company, you'd have
no SpaceX, you'd have no Starlink, You'd have none of
those because he wouldn't have had the capital to go
on and move and create other businesses. Fools, You cannot
You can't get to be worth two hundred and fifty
million dollars and not have some economic sense. So there's
(12:56):
no way you can tell me he doesn't have economic sense.
And if you then he went on to talk about
saying that if you only taxed a five percent wealth tax,
that it'd be enough to send everybody to college. It
wouldn't be enough to send everybody to college for two
semesters if you taxed him one hundred percent of it,
(13:17):
of his trillion dollars, if it would, we've got why
do we have four trillion dollars in student debt. I mean, seriously,
do you really believe this crap? The fact that you
allow people to have their money and do things with it.
It's their money to do with as they please. And
by the way, a lot of them do a lot
(13:39):
of good outside of just creating more wealth. But by
the way, you know what Rocana missed in his little
speech there. He missed the fact that when SpaceX went public,
Elon had given everybody down to the janitor sucks and
those stocks he created something like I don't know, I
(13:59):
read it. I think it was five or six hundred,
seven hundred millionaires instantly when the IPO happened, because they
had they got their stock. Do you know that it
wasn't too long ago? It probably it may not be
this way now, but I know, not too far in
the past. The company that created the most millionaires in
(14:21):
the United States of America was UPS. Ups created the
most millionaires, more people retired as millionaires from UPS than
any other company. Why because they gave them stock in
the company, and they had some inherent need to make
the company better. They had a little bit of stake
in it, and that made them want to do their
(14:42):
jobs a little more efficient. Save the company money when
they could do the drive safely so they didn't have
to spend it on insurance. Elon Musk, you act like
nobody else got rich when SpaceX went public. Lots of
people now have SpaceX in their four one k's, lots
of people have it in their other portfolios that are
(15:04):
helping them create some more wealth. I mean, for goodness sakes,
why are you trying to tax everybody? You really think
the government can do it? Because that leads into the
next thing that I was going to talk about, which
is if the government could do it. I read an
estimate the other day that something like four hundred to
five hundred billion dollars a year at the federal level.
(15:29):
Four or five hundred billion dollars a year at the
federal level is fraud, waste, and abuse. Now, what happens
That number grows exponentially when you send the money to
the states, and then they have their own fraud, waste
and abuse in the states too. So that federal level
was just Medicare at the federal level. But if you
(15:52):
move that down and the federal government sends I don't know,
I'm using a number, I don't know what it actually
is thirty billion dollars to the state of California for
Medicaid or Medicare, and out of that thirty billion, another
three or four billion gets used as waste, fraud, and abuse.
You think the government is more efficient at running things
(16:13):
than the businesses and the entrepreneurs that created things. You
wouldn't have anything to tax if it wasn't for entrepreneurs
and hardworking people out there busting their hump every single day.
But these elitists think somehow it's their money that they
have to get their grubby little hands on because Elon
created something. I saw a post the other day from
(16:37):
John Harwood, who is an empty suit that used to
be on CNBC, and he is, Oh my gosh, he
is unbearable to me now once I found out what
his politics were, it's just unbearable. So Mark Wayne Mullen,
who is our Department of Homeland Security secretary now started
in a plumbing company, didn't go to college, started a
(17:00):
plumbing company because his dad died when he was like
eighteen or nineteen years old. He took his dad six
person plumbing company and built it into one hundred million
dollar business through hard work effort. Nobody gave him anything.
He built it. And so Mark Wayne Mullin tweeted out
or what it posted the other day, something to the
(17:20):
effect of New Yorkers are going hopefully New Yorkers will
wake up in the next in four years and not
vote a socialist communist into parties that I think they're
going to I think they're going to be regretting what
they did. Something like that, and John Harwood tweeted back, Yeah,
New Yorkers really want a plumber from Oklahoma telling them
(17:42):
what to do. And I thought, you elitist pig, you
think that because he's a plumber from Oklahoma, you're better
than him. The man created a company that employed hundreds
of people, kept food on all of their tables, and
helped their families, and did it through sheer, hard work
and effort and determination. And you think he's not smart
(18:06):
enough because he just didn't go to college and get
some elite degree. That's what's wrong with that party. All
of those elites on the coasts think that none of
us know what we're doing or have any way. We
were just knuckle draggers that have no way of thinking
for ourselves. And if it wasn't for them telling us
what to do every day. We wouldn't be able to survive.
(18:27):
You know what, you can't survive without a plumber. I've
needed a plumber way more than I've ever needed a
journalist or a politician. And I promise you let your
stuff get backed up and you will want that plumber
who knows what he's doing running to your rescue. And
when he tells you know you're too elite for me,
I can't handle it. Then you walk around in your
(18:47):
own stuff, suffer elite pigs. It just drives me nuts.
All Right, I've ranted enough. This is Bonos Cars brought

Speaker 2 (19:37):
Here's your host, bow Driven.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
All right, welcome back, everybody. So I didn't quite get
to finish what I was talking about. When it came
to the waste fraud and abuse, I ranted for a
little longer than I should have because I had some
another part of this I wanted to talk about. So
I'm gonna finish that up for and move on to
the next subject I want to talk about. So the
other day, Andrew Ferguson, who is the Federal Trade Commission Chairman,
(20:04):
was on Fox News and was talking about the waste
fraud and abuse and he was had a conversation I
think it was with Kaylee Mcanenny, who used to be
in the Trump administration, but then she moved on to
Fox News, I think. Anyways, he goes on now and
(20:25):
talks about how they have started a task force to
eliminate waste fraud and abuse. It says the GSA, the
General Services Administration, have found that over four hundred businesses
with contracts totaling six billion dollars that was allocate originally
(20:47):
allocated during the Biden administration, had no physical address none.
The business was just a PO box, which is a
statutory requirement. By the way, you're supposed to have a
physical address. You're supposed to be a physical business. So
they go on and start talking about that, how they're
starting to get some indictments and convictions in just last
(21:11):
week that were worth over half a billion dollars, which
is not a drop in the bucket, but they're continuing, well,
it is dropping the bucket, but it's not a small
amount of money, and they're continuing to try to do that.
He goes on and said, dishonest citizens and tons and
tons of foreigners and foreign governments have been putting their
hands into the pockets of ordinary and honest Americans and
taking that money from them. And President Trump is the
(21:32):
first president to take this problem seriously, and that's why
the task course is being successful. So then Kaylee asked him,
She said, so, is there a single Democrat governor that's
shown any initiative and trying to help identify the fraud
And his answer was no. In fact, I've heard from
Democrat governors until early this week that fraud isn't a problem,
it's all a hoax, it's a distraction. Now we know
(21:56):
it's not a hoax. We know it's not a distraction.
It's hundreds of billions of dollars being wasted and fraudulently
taken or supporting Somali gangs because Somalians are ripping us
off and sending it back to Somalia to support gangs.
That's not what our tax dollars were supposed to be for.
(22:17):
He said. They've been sitting on top of tens of
billions of dollars in known fraud for decades and doing
nothing about it. And not just doing nothing about it,
they've been facilitating it. He said. Here's an example. The
government sends tens of millions of dollars to states every
year to fund Medicaid and Medicare fraud fighting units. We
spend tens of millions of dollars to each state to
(22:39):
help fight fraud. Hawaii just since twenty twenty one has
gotten millions and millions of dollars from the federal government
to fight medicaid fraud. And they've had zero convictions since
twenty twenty one, so we know it. There's some there's
fraud happening. How do you have zero convictions in five
years after spending tens of millions of dollars to supposedly
(23:02):
fight fraud. You're either in on it, you're grifting it.
Something is happening. There is no way that's possible. All right,
moving on to the other subject that I wanted to cover,
and it's a touchy subject, and I had a for
those of you who listen to the show for very long,
you know that my general manager, who I love dearly,
(23:27):
is incredible guy Bubba. Bubba's black, and he's been with
me now since twenty ten. I think he was with
me in my cell stores and helped me do a
great job growing that, and now he has helped me
do a great job at the dealership. And he is
an awesome guy. And we talk a lot about this.
(23:47):
But the Carlo car the can't talk. The Carmelo anthony
trial that ended last week exposed so much hatred that
I didn't understand and didn't know why it was happening.
And I asked him, I said, is that real? I mean,
(24:07):
what those people are saying about the only good cracker
is a dead cracker. Do people feel that way? Because
I can tell you if it was the roles were
reversed and it was anybody, a white person saying the
same thing, there would be an uproar from all of
the white people, all of us right or left. It
doesn't matter that stuff has gone by the wayside for
(24:30):
so long. It Does it exist in pockets of hateful people,
absolutely absolutely, But does it exist as an overall I
don't think so. I've never seen it. And I grew
up in a town in Flager County, Florida. When my
father bought the Ford Dealership in nineteen seventy six, they
(24:51):
still had two water fountains in the county courthouse. This
was there was a line delineating the blacks and the
white this town. It was a very small town. It
had one red light in the entire county when I
grew up there, and we had two schools. The elementary
school went from kate through six and the high school
went from seventh through twelfth. But it was the last
(25:13):
school in the country to desegregate. So I grew up
in an area like that. But I also never really
saw it. It didn't really happen that way. But this
Carmelo Anthony trial exposed a lot of that, and I
just didn't understand it. And I think that it's really
sad that it that there are people that believe that
(25:40):
because I'm white, that I can't be unbiased about just facts.
The facts are the kid stabbed him, and I saw
Jasmine Crockett the other day try to actually justify it
by saying he only stabbed him once, and then she
went on to try to say that the knife was
(26:01):
just like a Swiss army knife, a little one. If
you saw a picture of this knife, it is an
absolute knife. It is not some pen knife. It's not
something you clean your nails with. It's a full fledged
knife sold at Walmart. But it's got about a four
or five inch blade. And when he stabbed that metcalf,
(26:21):
kid the corner said that it left a two inch
gaping wound in his heart. That was unsurvivable. I don't
care whether it was white, black, brown, blue, green, whatever.
You killed a man, you have to have some consequences
for that. It was not self defense, and we know
that because everybody in the courtroom saw the video that
(26:46):
showed everything. It was grainy, you couldn't see much of it,
but you could see that he wasn't being attacked. I
just don't understand why it had to how race relations
got set back so far at this point that it
feels like we have we've just gone the wrong way.
(27:11):
But I read an article the other day by Colonel
Alan West, who is a he writes on some of
the he ran for governor, or he ran for office
in Texas, I believe. But he wrote an article the
other day and it was about him growing up at
(27:31):
he's sixty five years old, and he grew up in
the blacks only segregated Hugh Spaulding Hospital, or he was
born in a segregated hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. And then
he grew up in the old fourth Ward neighborhood, which
was where doctor Martin Luther King was from. But he
(27:53):
goes on to say that when it the thing that
created the problem, And this is the same thing that
Bubba was telling me, because when I was asking him,
I said, what happened. Bubba's got two sons, both of
them work for us. Both of them are awesome. Both
of them are absolutely respectful, They do their jobs, they
work hard. His oldest son, James, started with me as
(28:14):
a porter lot boy porter and has worked his way
up to being a finance manager. Has been a finance
manager now for about four years and does an absolute
incredible job. And his youngest son just got out of
boot camp for ROTC or the Reserves and is now
selling cars for us and also does a heck of
(28:35):
a job, and he said the same thing that Alan
West said, that it's the lack of a father figure
in the house, which started when Democrat President Lyndon Baines
Johnson had a policy for the government to provide checks
to women if you had kids out of wedlock, and
(28:56):
the caveat was that they had couldn't have a work
man in the home. So in one fell swoop, he
destroyed what it's been sustained when in nineteen the sixties,
seventy percent of black families had two parents, about the
same percentage as white families, but now that's down to
(29:16):
something like fifteen percent. And I just I don't know
how we get out of this loop, because we are
finding ways to destroy our country that we don't need
to have. It's the same thing with OJ Simpson. There
were I saw the other day where a juror that
(29:38):
sat on OJ Simpson's trial said that it was that
the verdict was payback for Rodney King, and yeah admitted
that the verdict was payback for Rodney King. Another jur
that was a former Black panther but presented as a
mild mannered potential juror with no bias and successfully kept
(30:01):
us past hid and thrust his fist in the air
and glee as retribution and solidarity in the black community.
And look, I understand being proud of your community, being
proud of your heritage. I'm all for it. But we
have to get to a place where we can still
be respectful for each other and love each other and
not have to have this hate filled speech. It's just
it doesn't need to be that way. And I don't
(30:23):
know how we break it, but I would love to
find some way to do that. And I don't know.
It's it's frustrating to me because I feel like the
government and the leaders are not doing what's necessary. They're
continuing to fan the flames. Jasmine Crockett could have been
(30:44):
a voice of reason, but she wasn't. She fanned the
flames even more and said the same thing. I came, Jeffreys,
all of them they say the same stuff and they
fan the flames and it makes it even worse. All right. Anyways,
this is Bonos Cars, brought to you by Chevrolet, Buick,
GMC and Cadillac of Murphy's Borough. Come on back after
the break.
Speaker 1 (31:16):

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

Speaker 2 (31:37):
Here's your host, bow Triven.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
All right, welcome back everybody. We got a couple of
things I want to talk about in this segment. We've
a little faster than I want to But one I
don't know if you guys caught it. But the other
day Hunter Biden was uh on the podcast for Gavin Newsom,
(32:03):
who by the way, is also in a little bit
of hot water. It looks like seems like the DOJ
has opened some investigations into the Gavin Newsom, his wife,
Jennifer Cybel Newsom, and their chief of staff or their
former chief of staff, who by the way, just pled
guilty to three felonies. One was wire and bank fraud,
one was tax evasion, and one was something else. And
(32:27):
now they've opened up this investigation. It turns out he
says that it's just Trump weaponizing the DOJ. But the
fact of the matter is they opened the investigation during
the Biden administration because of whistleblowers in Sacramento saying there's
something going wrong here. His finances don't add up, and
so I don't know if they'll find anything or not.
(32:49):
But what I do know is it seems a lot
like his you know, the he doth doubt, he doth
protest too much. It seems like this might turn out
to be one of those John Bolton things what I
talked about last week, where John Bolton slammed everybody and
said it was just Trump trying to weaponize the DJ
and coming after his enemies and blah blah, blah, blah blah,
and then pled guilty to enough charges that could land
(33:12):
him in jail for up to thirty five or forty years.
When presented with the evidence, he went, yeah, I'll take
that deal because that one looks like better than one
I might get if I don't play guilty. So I
still reserve judgment on whether it's the weaponization of the
DOJ or whether Gavin Newsom actually did some bad stuff. Anyways,
Hunter Biden was on Gavin Newsom's podcast talking about Graham Plattner,
(33:36):
the UH Nazi communist from Maine who's running for the
main Senate seat, and Hunter goes on to talk about
how Graham Platner's getting a raw deal, and I'm thinking, Okay,
so this makes sense. We got a an absolute dirt
(33:56):
bag that slept with his dead brother's wife talking to
another scumbag who slept with his best friend's campaign manager's wife,
about another scumbag who cheated on his fiance and then
sexted a dozen women right after getting married. So if
that's not the uh peak of democracy or that party,
(34:22):
I don't know what it is. And they want to
talk about Trump not having any morals or ethics. Seriously,
you slept with your dead brother's wife, you slept with
your campaign manager's wife, and cheated on your wife at
the same time, and then said you did it because
you were an alcoholic, but then said said you went
to rehabit, then said you never did because you weren't
an alcoholic, and took it all back. And you guys
(34:44):
are the ones talking trying to defend the Nazi. And
by the way, when the same party that has Scott
Wiener out in California, who had a campaign event that
featured a bunch of drag queens and one mocking women
and dressed as a pig that was singing. Wiener is
a girl's best friend. Guy's name is Scott Wiener in
(35:07):
front of kids. Disgusting. And these are the same people
who somehow want to lecture us, you know, as knuckle
draggers about having some class and having some You know,
it's the elitists that know what to do and how
to take care of us. Remind me never to be
like any of you guys. All right, Moving on? So
(35:31):
I talk about England a lot, and some of it
is because England is a reflection Europe used to be,
setting the pace for where the US would be in
ten fifteen years, a couple of generations maybe, But I
don't want any part of being like that. Now you
know that polygamy is not legal in the UK under
(35:53):
UK law. Under UK law only one marriage is or
civil partnership is permitted at a time. So if you
go into a second marriage while already legally married is
a criminal offense punished pable up to seven years in prison,
unless you have you immigrate or migrate to the UK
(36:16):
and already have two or three four wives and then
the UK will hand you an extra sixty five hundred
pounds to second and third wives, so you can benefit
by having two wives or three wives in the UK
as long as you're not from the UK. Make it
make sense. But they also have this thing called the
(36:39):
BBC that I think is the British Broadcasting Company. I
think that's what it stands for. And the other day
the British Broadcasting Company, who is there? They are ms
now on steroids. They are so far left that it's scary.
And they did a feature the other day that is
absolutely disgusting. They the headline was selling children to survive.
(37:09):
Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices and the article
is about how Afghan fathers are selling their five, six
seven year old daughters to other men, supposedly to pay
for food or whatever. They're not selling their sons, just
their daughters. And somehow, so here was the tweet that
(37:32):
I thought somehow summed it all up. It says, yeah,
it's quite a feat to describe a young girl being
sold into sex slavery and framing the narrative to portray
the person who sold her as the sympathetic figure in
the story. Guys talks about having to come home. I
got parts lips. I was hungry, thirsty and confused, and
my children going to be saying, give us some bread,
But what can I give that? Where is the work?
(37:53):
And so he and by the way, this is all
in Afghanistan, which we turned back over to the bad
guys in that disgusting display of not knowing what we're
doing when we withdrew from afghan and it is now,
all of a sudden, the girls are right back where
(38:14):
they were. They can't go to school, they're being sold
at five and six years old. It's just absolutely disgusting
that they're somehow making it sound sympathetic to men who
are selling their daughters. That is called slavery or sex
child trafficking. And not only is it not legal, it's
in the laws over there that they can do that stuff.
(38:34):
And we're importing these people into our United States of
America to somehow assimilate into our culture. I don't want
that culture coming over here. I don't want any part
of that being part of our culture. And if you do,
there's something wrong with you selling your five year old daughter.
(38:56):
I would starve to death before or I would absolutely
and before I would let my daughters be sold. I
wouldn't eat a bite until they were fed. If that's
what you don't have the babies. If you can't feed them,
don't have them. But to have them to be able
(39:16):
to sell them to make money. That is sick sickness.
All right, I'm gonna get onto something fun here for
a second. So we've done this before many times. There
have been so many studies talking about liberals are not
as happy as conservatives right there. I mean, there's tons
(39:40):
of studies that say it, and I've read bunches of them.
But there was one the other day that confirmed and
I'm going to quote mental illnesses emergency is emerging as
its own political identity and is most heavily aligned with
the leftist political ideology and causes. Study came from a
(40:01):
twenty twenty two cooperative election study that found that conservatives
are way less likely to frame every day anxiety or
a bad week or you know, some stress as a
mental health condition. Look, I got stress every day. I'm
running a business with one hundred and thirty five employees.
I'm gonna have stress. I'm gonna have bad days, But
I don't think I have any mental health issues.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I just had a bad day.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
I need to wake up, pull up my bootstraps, and
get to work. Things are gonna go wrong, that's what
you know. Every day I get up and go to
the gym at five o'clock in the morning. Why because
it's I'm committed to getting it done. It's hard work.
It doesn't feel good, but it's hard work. And my
trainer and I talk about it all the time. People
(40:45):
those who who are successful, or those who are willing
to do things other people aren't willing to do. But
I don't have to frame everything as somebody's supposed to
give me something, somebody suppo owes me something. And I
certainly don't have a mental health issue that I have
to deal with. Look, I have lived with people who
have serious mental health issues. I am not putting that down.
(41:07):
I am not saying that mental health issues don't exist.
I'm saying that if not everything is a mental health issue.
And I always wondered, and I've said this before, does
that party attract people with mental health issues? Or do
(41:27):
you get in? Does the indoctrination of all of the
bad things and the victimization and the oppressed and oppressor's
dynamic is that what causes the mental illness. And I
don't know the answer, but I think the personal responsibility
and the conversation talking to the big man upstairs that
(41:51):
I think that works for me a lot better than
going to talking to a therapist. And so the other
part of that was another study that came out that
said how proud are you to be an American? And overall,
fifty six percent said extremely or very and twenty one percent,
(42:16):
one out of every five people living in the United
States of America right now say that they are not
very or zero proud to be an American. Seriously, where
do you think is better? You think those European countries
are better? I defy you to go live over there
for a year and a half two years. Food's great.
(42:36):
They've got a lot of good, great culture, but they
also have some serious problems. But here was the other
part of it. By party. If you're in the GOP,
ninety percent of the people in the GOP say they're
extremely or very proud to be an American, and only
twenty nine percent of Dems. Seventy five percent of people
(42:58):
sixty five and over said they were extremely very proud
to be an American, And only thirty six percent of
people eighteen to thirty four. Now here's what I'm going
to tell you. I'm proud to be an American, no
matter who's the president. I'm proud to be an American,
no matter who's running the country, who's in charge. You
(43:19):
know why, because I'm not necessarily aligned with any one
human being or any one ideology. I think we live
in the greatest country on earth, and I think we
we will continue to be the greatest country on Earth.
We created the first trillionaire. Good for him. I think
that being proud of your country, being proud of your heritage,
(43:41):
that's a good thing. And constantly beating the drum of
it's not great to be an American? Where is there better?
I saw Bob de Niro the other day talking about
it's hard to like his country anymore. Then get out.
You got the country that helped you make hundreds of
millions of dollars. Yeah, get out. We're good, all right.
