• Nicholas Walker on anti-climate protests

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Got the youth.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common sense
will see this through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston dot com.
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett. All right, we're

(00:32):
gonna start the show today. We got a bunch of
topics to work in. We'll spend the segment two, by
the way, coming up. In our next segment, we'll talk
a little bit about commissioner's court meeting yesterday and the
conduct yet again of Lena Hildago. I swear if she's
on meds, I think she might need a higher dose.
I'm not sure. I would hate to see what she'd
be like if she wasn't on those meds. It is

(00:54):
amazing to watch your attempt to reside over a commissioner's
court meeting. It's it's it's it's it's insanity. It really is.
Every time she doesn't get her way, she you know,
she has to take a break. We have to call
time out here because I'm upset and we had Commissioner
Tom Ramsey. On the show, I'll share some audio from
both the the Sausage Making Fest and Commission's corners. They're

(01:17):
coming up with a budget for next year. Share some
audio from that, and also with my visit with Commissioner
Tom Ramsey this morning. That's coming up in segment number two,
but let's start with this one. This is my favorite
audio clip of the day. It's Tom Homan. The thing
I love about Tom Homan, Tom Hooman, you know our
borders are is, let's just say a little rough around

(01:40):
the edges. Okay. He's not exactly what I would call
a diplomat. He pretty much he tells it like he
sees it, and he doesn't much care who you are.
He takes the same approach. You know. He's he's a
runaway freight train. He's a You asked me a question
and you're gonna get the answer, and if you try
to argue with me about the answer, then you're to
get a bunch of crap from me. And he was

(02:03):
giving it much better than he got it from MSNBC.
I don't know why he'd go on Morning Joe and
talk to Mika Brazenski, but he did so. He went
on Morning Joe to talk about the ice raids and
uh In about apprehending criminals, and of course Mika is
doing the all you're making people disappear thing. So it's

(02:24):
I think it's fun audio to listen to listen to
Tom Holman stand up for what it is that they
are doing. Here is a little bit of this conversation
with Mika Brazenski and ms NBC.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I see on the show this morning have Governor Healy
talking about heist do an enforcement operation to that church.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
They were part.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
They were parked in a public space legally, but.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
To say that and to push it out there with
fear in the immigrant community.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
Agents vehicle Durano Parker Street.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
They're on a publish street, on a publish street.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Waiting to respond to a criminal alien release pulled aside
the road. Let me tell you in the last couple
of days what's happened in Boston. They arrested Victor Gometz Prais,
a thirty three year old criminal anily from Guatemala, with
charge of aggravated rape, assault and batty with dangerous weapon
in decent assault and batterian a victim fourteen years or younger.
They arrested Kaylee Espinoza, thirty f year old criminal alien

(03:27):
from Columbia with charges of aggravators assault on a pregnant victim.
They arrested Joshua Gonzalez, a twenty foe year old criminal
alien from Dominican Republic, with charges for trafficking heroin, morphine opium,
resisting police dis already conducting drug distribution. They also arrested
Samuel Armando Barrera, a twenty year old criminal illegal anily

(03:48):
from Guatemlo, pending charges for sault and battery on a child.
So Mayor Wu and Governor Healey, they all be calling
ICE and thanking them for making their streets safer, to
protect to their communities and taking these people off to
the street. They've turned to blind nine too. This or
sanctuary city sanctuaries. Cities and sanctuary states are sanctuaries for criminals.

(04:09):
Give ICE access to the jail to arrest the bad
guy in the jail rather than having go in the
community to find them, because when you go in the
community and find it puts ICE officers at greater risk,
It puts a community at greater risk, It puts the
alien at greater risk. Because anything happens street risk. The
bottom line is because all the falsenarrative and you using
the term disappearing people disgusting.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
To the group that US citizens.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
US citizens get arrested every day. US citizens get arrested
by police every day. Are they being disappeared?

Speaker 3 (04:42):
You know, their.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Laws are being they're being arrested, they're being put in
detention because they committed a Criminaliz.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
Like what you're doing.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
We're enforcing the law and arresting people here in violation
law that are public states and trust. That's not disappearing people.
That's enforcing the laws of this country make those country safer.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
I don't like what you're doing. That was really her
only response to all that, I don't like what you're doing. Well,
there are a lot of others on the progressive left
that don't like what Ice is doing either, And part
of the problem is is they don't seem to make
the connection between being an illegal alien and breaking the law,
because I keep hearing phrases like they're arresting these people

(05:25):
have committed no crime. Well, yes they have. I mean,
how many times you got to tell these people that
coming here illegally, staying here illegally is a crime. It's
against United States immigration law just for that. They have
every right to round these people up and send them
back to their country of origin. That's the law. You

(05:48):
don't like the law, change the law, but that is
the law. So I'm glad Tom Holman stuck up for
himself that way. That was really good. But you know,
we have a real super big disconnect now in this
country between two different political sides. I don't know how
much bigger the divine can get without us erupting into

(06:10):
some sort of civil war. I mean, the Democrats and
Republicans are as opposite as opposite can be on just
about every issue, and the majority of Americans right now
are supporting the Republican version of this. Not that there
aren't plenty of progressive left out there. I just don't
know how long we can keep this up. I really wonder.

(06:31):
I wonder about that every day. How much longer can
we keep this stuff up? And you hear the arguments
at a whole variety of different fronts, including by the way,
they're arguing over COVID vaccines again, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
You know, when he made the comment that we don't
know how many people died from COVID. I mean, it's
absolutely positively true. And I've said this a million times.

(06:53):
Everybody who died who had COVID was listed as a
COVID death. Didn't matter. Off they die from a heart
attack they had so they died from COVID in hospitals.
We're doing that to get money. It doesn't make it true, though,
doesn't make it so. And then he has the audacity
RFK Junior does to point this out. And you don't

(07:14):
even know how many people died from COVID, you sir,
you don't know how many people died from COVID. Everybody
died from COVID when COVID was going on. Everybody who
had it, doesn't mean they died from it. So you know,
when after all this time, you know, we've had plenty
of time to digest COVID nineteen. If you still can't
go back and portray this accurately, if you're still going

(07:37):
to lie about COVID nineteen, then how are we ever
going to get together if we're not able to look
at the facts and make a logical conclusion about what happened.
And again, the Republican and Democrat sides couldn't be further apart.
All right, quick little break back with Morton moment. We'll
talk about making sausage in Harris County. Coming up next,

(08:00):
Jimmy Barrett Show. Here an AM nine fifty KPRC. So

(08:21):
when I had Commissioner Tom Ramsay on our morning show today,
you know, I I told him I watched video of
some of the Commissioner's Court meeting and I could feel
my brain cells dying while I'm watching this. That's how
bad it was. Watching Lena Hildago preside over meeting is
like watching a kindergarten debate. You know. She just is

(08:46):
like she doesn't always understand what's going on. She's presenting
issues out of order. I mean, this is supposed to
be a parliamentary procedure and it's anything but at Harristonic
Commission's Court, but Lena Hildago is siding over it. I'll
just give you a couple of examples. Here's a good
example here. Here's Linolena Lino, Lena trying to argue again.

(09:08):
She desperately wants her legacy, I guess to be this
pre K childcare program, which has nothing to do with
running Harris County and it does not fit into the budget.
She's the only one. Maybe Rodney ellis wood supporter, but
she's about the only one who thinks that this has
to work its way into the budget. And you'll see

(09:30):
as this little segment goes on that she keeps bringing
it up. You hate the kids? Why do you hate
the kids? Here we go, Let's take a listen.

Speaker 7 (09:37):
If every returned to the updated hiring Freeze SOOP that
was worked on with hrt O and b OCA and
the five court offices, so you can see the actual facts.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
Okay, and then I would like to move to restore
since we're not cutting anything, I would like to restore
all departments through to their full fiscal year cur level
of service budgets. Since everybody says we're not cutting any services,
then we should just have the current level of service
repeated for next year. So I would like to see
if my colleagues are willing to have the same level

(10:12):
of services next year as we've had this year. I
would like to vote that all departments keep the same
level of service. Do I have a second for all
departments to keep the same level of services?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Nope, I think.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Well we can't do that because the money hasn't come
from somewhere, right, this process we've set up, I'm for it,
but we can't do it.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
So when the decision right, well, I.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Just want to make it clear that three colleagues here
they say there are no cuts, but they're they're not
willing to second emotion to keep the current level of service.
So that means so that means there are cuts.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
It's for colleagues that don't want to Okay, and so jeg.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, we about it at that time. Now when you
say anyone.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
I'm just not gonna vote for these additional I'm not
gonna vote for this whole and I and I'm not
gonna vote against my constituents interests. You represent a certain party,
Commission Ramsey, and I respect that, but the rest of
us ran on something else.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
I represent the whole camp. How we get about five
more items?

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Right?

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna I'm gonna let you continue
with the court. I don't want to be a part
of this nonsense.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
And then she gets up and she leaves. I don't
want to a part of this nonsense. You are the
one creating the nonsense. Good God, oldmny, How quick, how
quickly can we get rid of this woman. Anybody would
be better than Lena Hildango. She's immature, she's I don't

(11:54):
know she's on their mental health meds or or what
it is, but she's she's she's so I'm a hard
time coping. You know, Rodney Ellis doing his best to
try to rein her in a little bit. She's not
even listening to Rodney Ellis, probably because Rodney Ellis probably
doesn't want her to run for reelection either. The whole
thing is just gotten crazy. So we had the Commissioner

(12:17):
Tom Ramsey on the Morning show today to talk about
the craziness at Commissioner's Court. Here's a little bit of
that conversation. Doesn't seem like she has any idea what
direction she's going in. It's crazy, it really.

Speaker 8 (12:30):
Is, Jimmy, I tell you, the whole process is pretty
much what people do at home. They balance their budget,
they look at their revenue, they look at their bills,
and they make decisions. She since she's the only one
on the Commissioner's Court who's not a taxpayer, she admitted that
last week. She admitted that taxes were high last week
in her state of the county address. So she really

(12:53):
struggles in these kinds of events. We had roughly one
hundred and fifty five speakers come, and that's time. People
can come and I listen to them. But every time
Judge Oldogo would begin to rant on issues she knows
nothing about, I would leave. So, to be honest with you,
I got my steps in yesterday.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Huh. It felt like the meeting broke up a couple
of times. I mean, how many breaks did y'all take?

Speaker 8 (13:19):
Well, Whenever Judge Wildago can handle an adult conversation, she
throws a tantrum and leaves. In fact, she abruptly just
left the meeting yesterday because she didn't agree with with
the vote. So you know, this is what adults do.
They get in the room, they debate it. We actually
have a great budget. This was an excellent way to

(13:42):
do it. We have a balanced budget. We funded over
one hundred and forty million for law enforcement. It's public safety.
It's exactly what the hobby polls said that people want it.
They want public safety. They want you to deal with infrastructure.
That's what this budget does. The fact that it doesn't
deal with kindergarten daycare, which is what she was advocating

(14:06):
those are all our programs. The money's run out. We
can't fund them anymore. She wants to find it out
of the general budget, and there's not money there we're funding.
I think the basics that we should be Well.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
She wanted to tell you all that the way the
questions were posed for the poll was wrong. That's why
it turned out the way it did. On public safety
is the question wasn't asked the right way.

Speaker 8 (14:31):
Well, I think people know what they want. I talked
to enough of them. They are clear and what they
don't want. And by the way, we are generating with
and Harris County taxes based on what we vote on yesterday,
that'll be four point one digon in tax revenue. We

(14:52):
got plenty of tax revenue. We don't need to be
going up on taxes, which they did vote yesterday to
increase the tax for the hospital district. That's one hundred
and forty million additional revenue. I did not agree with that.
But in terms of the budget, our budget, our general
revenue budget, I think we did a great job in
getting that, getting the priorities there, dealing with issues that

(15:15):
we needed to deal with, and actually started to eliminate
some bureaucracy.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah, I think that it seemed to me that perhaps
that Rodney Ellis and Lena Hildago are simpatico on some
of these things, but everybody else pretty much is in
agreement what needs to be in the budget and what
doesn't need in the budget be in the budget. How
much longer do you see this taking before a final
budget is put together?

Speaker 8 (15:39):
Well, that's essentially we put together the final budget as
we wrap things up last night without Judge Oldago there.
We've got a budget. We pretty much adopted it last night.
We'll do the final vote next week and there'll be
a public hearing on that. So there's some functrees that

(16:00):
we still have to do, but essentially, yesterday we adopted
a balanced budget that fully funds law enforcement, that does
fund infrastructure, that does, I think, deal with some of
the core issues that we need to in account.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
I thought it was interesting that and I think that
Rodney Ellis agreed on this one. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But Lena wanted you all to face in the raises
for Harris County Deputies over three years in arts in
order for her to keep her daycare program. Obviously, nobody
was biting on that one. Were they.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
No?

Speaker 8 (16:33):
And she called herself the negotiator. So this is what
the negotiator does. She comes to court and she's the negotiator,
and she gets her whiteboard out. She starts saying, well,
let's negotiate. This is like kindergarten first graders. Are you
kidding me? That's not how you negotiate. You put an
option on the table, you go try to find three votes,

(16:55):
and you get there. She doesn't know how to do that,
and she struggled, right, and so when she gets to
the point she can't handle it, she just leaves.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
And last question for you, sir, how offended were you
when she made the accusation that you're only there to
represent Republicans.

Speaker 8 (17:11):
Well, I think I pretty clearly told her I represent
one point two million people in Harris County, and from
what my constituents tell me, I am spot on in
terms of what we're doing, what we're prioritizing, what we're cutting,
what we're funding. And she couldn't handle that either.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, she couldn't. And yes, sir, you were spot on,
no doubt about it. Uh. Dealing with Lena Hildago it
is it is watching sausage banking at his worst. I
think this is why many of us don't pay a
lot of attention to to local government or government in general,
because you have to watch all of this spectacle before

(17:51):
you ever get to anything that means anything to the taxpayer.
A lot of it is just a total waste of time.
All right, this should be kind of a fund and conversation.
I think my position on climate change is pretty well known.
I think that people like doctor Michael Mann, his position
on climate change is pretty well known. He buys into

(18:12):
all of it. Evidently, doctor Michael Mann was at a
Rice University Baker Institute for Public Policy event and had
a little counter protests there from Collegians for a Constructive
Tomorrow who just want to say no to Michael Mann's
vision of climate change on this planet. We are going
to talk to one of those students, one of those

(18:32):
members of Seed Fact coming up next back with MORTI
moment Jimmy Bert choke here a in nine fifty KPRC. Well, yesterday,

(18:56):
Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow otherwise known as Sea Fact
got a chance to say no to Michael Mann. Doctor
Michael Mann is a big time climate activist. He was
at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy. The protesters
there too, holding signs like hands off my future. One
of those protesters is a collegiate with Sea Fact and

(19:17):
also sam Houston State University student. His name is Nicholas Walker. Nicholas,
welcome to the show. We don't see a ton of
college kids that are protesting against climate activism, but your
group certainly is. How many members do you have.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
At my local campus, I have about twenty year or so.
National a Sea Fact has perhaps thousands of student members and.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Is grown by the day, And that's good to hear
because I'm like minded when it comes to the climate.
I believe that the weather is cyclical, that the planet
has been through all of these things before warming and
cooling cycles. We have a lot of history on that,
and we don't need to debate most of that up.
What we need to debate are the people who want to
tell us that we're on the path to extinction, which,

(20:06):
of course they were never able to prove that that
we aren't on the path to extinction because none of
us are going to live that long.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, I mean, it's a very interesting thing, right, They
say we're on the path to extinction, and these people,
like my command, they come out like priests of this
new secular religion, promoting this apocalyptic message, saying we're all
going to buy nothing we can do about it. I
say that's bad thinking. Even if you do believe in
climate change, then if you think there's nothing can do

(20:36):
about it, they're gonna do nothing about it. And I
think there's plenty that we could do about this, and
about many other environmental issues that aren't getting talked about.
Myself studying environmental science and I care deeply about the
Great American Doors and the planet, and this type of
rhetoric it just doesn't help.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
So when when you're obviously you're taking classes at sam
Houston that involve the environment, how much push back do
you get from the professors of the courses you take.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
It depends on the course. Some professors they have are
pretty good. This warre environmental course, it was just promoting
the socialist economic theory. I'm like, this has nothing to
do with the environment, Like what is this about man?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
And what kind of response do you get? If any?

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Sometimes they're like they can you just focus on the topic.
I mean, I was focusing on the topic. I was
just saying that socialist economics aren't going to help the
situation we're in. If we want to really do something
about the environmental problem we have, we need to work
with corporations and businesses so that they could have greener, cleaner,

(21:46):
and meaner, more efficient systems of business.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
Okay, now you said something interesting there. I want you
to elaborate on that a little bit for me. You
said that if we do have an environmental problem. Do
you believe we do have an vironmental problem?

Speaker 6 (22:02):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, I would say so. When I go down the highway,
I see all this litter, and there's just so much
to it. We want to have clean water, we want
to have clean food, and we want to have just
I believe it's a national security issue, quite frankly. And

(22:22):
another thing is new clear energy. I'm a big proponent
of that. China is built in twenty three for everyone.
We're building and the United States right now is being
completely browbeaten by these by these Marxists, by these leftists.
We're the only We're one of the only countries have
reduced emissions. Meanwhile, China and India that continue to increase
in emissions, and yet all the responsibility falls upon us.

(22:45):
We need to have an environmental treaty that includes China
and India and allows them to just stop getting away
with it.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah. Well, listen, I could lately agree that we all
should be better sewards of the planet and includes no littering.
Although I don't think litter is going to kill the planet.
I think that probably where it guess kind of interesting,
And of course from I'm obviously quite a bit older
than you, probably old enough to be your grandfather, and
I was around in the I think to know where

(23:15):
we're at as far as pollution and the environment today,
you have to know where we were, let's say, in
nineteen seventy five, especially here in the United States, we
have moved light years since nineteen seventy five. The air
is so much cleaner than it was back then, The
environment is so much cleaner. We have made great progress,
and nobody ever gives any credit for that.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Another interesting thing is that Republicans are lambasted as the
anti environmentalist, right when Theodore Roosevelt is the one that
founded the National Parks, Richard Nixon, someone who founded the EPA,
George H. W. Bush and into the Queen Air Act,
Reagan helped put together the Trader for the ozone layer,
and everyone thought that was going to be a massive crisis,

(24:00):
and it was. But worked them together, America led and
now our air is much clearer than it was back then.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
As you said, we're talking with Nicholas Walker. He's a
student at sam Houston State University. He's also a member
of Sea Fact, that is, Collegians for Constructive Tomorrow. They
are they're willing to say that, yeah, we need to
make some improvements in our environment, but we'd like to
make we'd like to make some capitalist based decisions that
makes sense for everybody. And you brought up nuclear power.

(24:29):
I too, am a big proponent of nuclear power, especially
now some of the new forms of nuclear power we're
seeing where you can basically have a small nuclear reactor
that's enough to power let's say a city or an
industrial complex, or even your home or your neighborhood that's
not too far down the line if we do this
the right way.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Oh yes, sir, I mean small modular reactors in the future.
And I'd say nuclearnery is the future, and it's a
future that's been around for about fifty years now. But
we're starting to utilize it. Germany is a country that
decided not to go with nuclear. Instead they're using energy
that's far dirtier, yet they claim to be environmentalist. France

(25:12):
is the country that uses nuclear and they're doing very well.
Everyone's afraid of you know, like what happened in Sharonoble,
but this happened in a second world, corrupt Soviet state
with several levels of safety fell in. We are so
advanced I'd say that nuclear is probably the safest thing
we have right now. We did have the through Mount

(25:34):
Island incident, but there's less radiation released in that incident
than the average passenger gets an airplane.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
So on nuclear energy, Okay, the one thing I think
that we have to figure out is what do we
do with the nuclear waste?

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Oh well, if you were to take all the nuclear waste,
all the race produced all across the road from let's
say in nineteen fifty or so, you could fit it
within one warehouse or perhaps one football field. So I
think we could dedicate maybe one football field somewhere and

(26:09):
just have Queen Intergey for everyone. Right. Yeah, small modular
reactors are so interesting and it's going to create so
many jobs, and these will be high paying jobs, and
they don't have to be a nuclear physicist to have
the job. I mean they need wilders, they need folks
who are doing logistics. And also with sodium chlorad reactors,
they're able to go without mounted down, which has always

(26:31):
been a big fear right and that fear is now solved.
It's brilliant.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Now. As far as your protest went yesterday, you said
you've had I believe, as I recall, you had about
twenty members of a c fact that at Sam Houston
State University. Is that who was out there protesting yesterday?
Because it didn't look like a very big crowd.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yesterday we had about fifteen to twenty or so people
at Rice University where Michael Man was speaking. It was
interesting because we had went there and we just stood
in a shade kind of away from the main plaza,
so we weren't blocking anyone or anything. We weren't even
chanting anything. And yet some lady I don't know who

(27:12):
she was, Mayberriam was Karen who knows she had a
phone right and she was calling the police on us,
like saying, how can you get them out of here?
But people have a fundamental right to protest. She didn't
come up to it less or try to discuss anything
in her mind, or just call the cops, you know,
the people who should be you know, arresting violent criminals.

(27:34):
She wants to shut us down. I guess it's just despicable.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah. I think my question would be, you know, obviously
you'd love to have more and more young people aligned
with your group. How do you get that message across
or are most of these students so indoctrinated that that's
a difficult task.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Well, I think it's great to foster a sense of
of duty to her environment. I mean Jennison that talks
about how we're meant to be a stewards of this
good earth. And what I do is I try to
inspire my fellow students to say, hey, man, go outsie
is a great adventure to be had, join me on
this hike, and by appreciator nature, appreciate our environment and

(28:16):
by fully understanding the issues that matter, like nuclear energy
is good energy. Green policy is a good policy when
you do it right, when you actually work with the
corporations and all the stakeholders, that makes all the difference.
And you can't bring people into the spyle of good moralization.
You have to uplift and inspire our generation because ultimately

(28:38):
we have the most at stake. Therefore we have the
most to do.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
True enough, Hey, best of luck with it, Nicholas, thanks
for joining us today. Good to talk to you, sir,
and God bless take care. That is Nicholas Walker. He's
part of collegiance for a constructive Tomorrow. Back with more
in a moment. Jimmy BIRCHOWI in nine fifty KPRC. All right,

(29:13):
let's talk about capitalism versus socialism to kind of round
out our program here today. I don't know if you
saw this or not, excuse me, but Gallup Pole has
a new poll based on political affiliation, asking people about
capitalism versus socialism, and this is the lowest number in

(29:36):
history since they've been doing this poll. As far as
people supporting capitalism, fifty four percent had a positive opinion
of capitalism versus a negative opinion of capitalism. That is
at an all time low. Also an all time low
the amount of Americans who believe in the American Dream. Now,
most of this, as you can imagine, is being driven

(29:58):
by democrats. Back to you. Take a look at the
Republican numbers, which we'll hear in just a second year
versus the Democrat numbers. And it's again kind of the
theme of today, the difference between the left and the
right and how we just keep growing further and further
and further apart. And this is a great example of that. Yeah,
you see what's going on in New York City with

(30:20):
basically a communist mayoral candidate, and he's got a pretty
big lead right now in the mayoral race. So here's
the five Yesday, including Greg Gutveld talking about this Gallup
poll numbers that they'll compare the Republican numbers to the
Democrat numbers, and then Greg Gutveeld gives his opinion on
what's going.

Speaker 9 (30:39):
On on it right, only forty two percent. You can
probably guess which party is causing the slide.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
You got it right.

Speaker 9 (30:46):
Only forty two percent of Democrats view capitalism favorably, while
sixty six percent have a positive view of socialism. Of course,
the squad is egging on the Marxist revolution.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
What it's about is the corruption and the rigging of
the economy by the wealthiest few. I think most people
in this country wouldn't mind if people made wealth, but
if it's made at the expense of others, there.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
Has to be a way where we can all be
compensated in a way that allows us to live and
feed our kids. And I think it's very understandable when
you feel like you've inherited this world that I don't
even know how a lot of people even.

Speaker 8 (31:26):
Make it well.

Speaker 11 (31:27):
Young people are always seek something that sounds romantic.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's disastrous. It's my entire romantic life.

Speaker 11 (31:34):
And if you want to explain something to a young
person about capitalism and socialism, start here. Capitalism doesn't have
to be perfect to work. Socialism socialism has to be
perfect to work, which is why it has to be
done with force, because it falls apart and then everybody

(31:55):
suffers a wicked part here is noticing all the young
people embracing socialism, and zorn He says affordability, and that
was a good selling point because these people are mired
in debt, thank you college, They can't afford homes, they
don't want or have kids. Their American dream right now

(32:16):
is a comfortable sofa and a bong because they are
Aspirations for anything better really don't exist, especially in New
York City, where everybody wants to live.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
There but can't afford it. But the mentality that.

Speaker 11 (32:30):
Zooran is pushing is exactly what puts them there. Free stuff,
you don't feeling overthinking cheap labor through open borders. Republicans
didn't tell you to take out absurd loans. Democrats made
that okay, and they said cheap labor is great, and
that hurt the job market. The cruel joke is that

(32:51):
the system that Zooran is pushing is for people like him.
He's wealthy. He can easily endure all of these hardships,
go to his parties and still go on as trips.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
But the people that listen to them, they're screwed. You know,
no matter what system of believe in, capitalism, socialism, communism,
there will always be members of the elites and there
will always be poor. But here's the difference between, in
my mind, between capitalism, socialism, and communism. With socialism and communism,
everybody is the same, and everybody's generally worse off than

(33:26):
they were before. It's not like you have an opportunity
to pull yourself up from poverty. Everybody's poor. Into socialism
and capitalism, I'm sorry. Under socialism, and communism, with the
exception of the elites who are running the government. They're
all rich, they're all living their lifestyle. It's the common

(33:46):
everyday man that all has to live the same and
add a lore. By the way, I might add a
lower rate than what they have the opportunity to do
in a capitalist society. Or maybe I should just turn
it over to Senator Cornfucius Editor John Kennedy explaining what's
wrong with socialism.

Speaker 12 (34:04):
Let me explain socialism to you. I read this somewhere.
You pay your kid twenty dollars to clean out the garage,
and when he's finished, take fifteen dollars from him and
give it to your other kid who didn't help. That's socialism.
It's soul crushing. Socialism is from morons. It's untethered to reality.

(34:32):
There's no historical case for it. It's just an equal
sharing of misery.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
And for all.

Speaker 12 (34:41):
Those howdy duties that say, well, socialism is better than
it's better than three enterprise, ask yourself this question. When
the Berlin Wall fell, who ran.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
The which side?

Speaker 12 (34:58):
And I think that answers the case for socialism.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Yes, I think it pretty much is right about that.
See at least with capitalism, there's the opportunity to make
something of yourself. You may have grown up in poverty,
or you may have grown up in the lower middle class,
but you have a talent, you have an ability that
other people don't have. You have a spirit of entrepreneurship.

(35:25):
You can go out and you can make something of yourself.
You know, it used to be where the American Dream
has failed recently, and I fully admit this is that
what we used to have is every generation did a
little bit better than the generation before. And you can
see that in so many families who may have started

(35:47):
off as poor immigrants in this country and then built
a business and then passed the business on and got
more education and did other things and built family wealth
and so on and so on and so on. You
don't have that opportunity when any other system other than capitalism.
Capitalism is the only place where that works. What we
have to get back to is the work ethic that

(36:08):
made this country what it was, you know, to get
back the idea of the yes, I can get the
American dream, I just have to work hard for it.
This idea that the American dream is going to come
to you for free, that has never existed. It's only
only people who believe in socialism who buy that idea.
You won't get an American dream based on socialism, only

(36:28):
on capitalism. Listen, you all have a great day, Thanks
for listening. See you tomorrow morning, bright and early at
five AM over our news Radio seven forty KTRH. We
are back here at four on AM nine fifty KPRC.
