Speaker 2 (00:16):
Kamala's Dystopian America. I'm going to say something's kind of
like sacrilegious or a lot of you youngsters and people
on the left. I'm not a big fan of the
word equality or how it's it's used. I know it's
people got the bumper stickers on the car with the
blue and the yellow equal sign equal equal. Huh. The

(00:42):
only equality that I believe in is that we should
all be equal under the law. That's equality. The rules
apply for me, they apply for you. That's equality. That's
true equality. The left's version of equality is dystopian. Now

(01:06):
it's not, He's no, it's frightening quite Frankly, I'm going
to give you a direct Kamala Harris quote here. If
the goal is truly about equality, it has to be
about a goal of saying everybody should end up in
the same place. What dah, And since we didn't start

(01:29):
in the same place, some folks might need more equitable distribution.
We should all end up in the same place. Really,
we should all end up in the same places. That
is that you left us out there, youngsters out there.
You believe that you think that's right. We should all

(01:50):
end up in the same place. I remember that college
professor did that bit where you're trying to teach you
about socialism, and they said, you know, the kids with
the higher grades should have to give us some of
their grades, the kids that didn't study his hard anyway,
I talk about Dystopian I want to go to actually,
and I mentioned this story before. It is a Kurt

(02:12):
Vonicut Lake. Kirk Vonicut had a short story that I
looked it up, wasn't I didn't remember the years. Published
in nineteen sixty one, and it's called Harrison Berzron and
book goes some of it is it's in the future
year's twenty eighty one, and the constitution. Constitution dictates that

(02:39):
all Americans are fully equal, fully equal. You're not allowed
to be smarter, you're not allowed to be better looking
or more physically able than anybody else. There's actually a
position in government's called the Handicapper General, and he has
agents that enforced equality laws. This forces seize various different

(03:05):
citizens to wear handicaps. So if you're too good looking,
you'd have to wear a mask. If people who are smart,
you'd have to wear these earpieces in that would broadcast
loud sounds to confuse you, irritating noises that will disrupt
your thoughts. And if you were, you know, strong or athletic,
you'd have to wear weights. George and Hazel version On

(03:27):
have a fourteen year old son named Harrison. He takes
after his father, highly intelligent and physically strong. The government
removes Harrison from his home. His parents are barely even
aware because Hazel's low intelligence, and George because of the
handicaps that they put on them. They're watching a George

(03:49):
and Hazes are watching a ballet on TV, and some
dancers are weighed down to counteract their gracefulness and masked
to hide their attractiveness. George's thought are continually interrupted by
the different noises that are emitted by his handicap radio.
Hazel urges George to lie down and rest his handicap bag,

(04:10):
which is a cloth bag filled with bird shot forty
seven pounds of weights that was locked around his neck.
Again She suggested taking some of the weight out of
the bag, but George says no, it's against the law.
On the TV, a reporter struggles to read a bulletin
and hands it to the ballerina wearing the most grotesque

(04:31):
mask and heaviest weights. She begins reading her natural, beautiful
voice before switching to a more unpleasant one. Harrison Again,
George and Hazel Sun escape from prison, and they show
a full body photograph him. He's seven feet tall and
he's got three hundred pounds of handicaps that he's got

(04:54):
to carry around. George recognizes his son for a moment
before having the thought ilimitated by that bernadio that he's
got he's got to listen to. So Harrison storms the
TV studio in an attempt to overthrow the government, declares
himself emperor and rips off both of his own handicaps
and those of the ballerina. And then basically what happens

(05:14):
is the Handicapper General eventually gets into the studio and
kills Harrison and one of the ballerinas with two shotgun plasts,
and again we're back to our dystopian future where everyone
is equal. That's Kurt Vonnegut nineteen sixty one. He was
onto something. I don't want to end up in the
same place. I don't If someone is going to work

(05:40):
harder than I am what I am doing, they deserve
to do well to reap the rewards of their hard
work and success. That's what again, that's what makes this
country truly great. Equality. Yeah, the equality. And I know

(06:03):
I've mentioned this a million times here on the program.
That Jefferson was talking about in the Declaration of Independence
was an equality where we're equal under the law. Going
to end with a positive statement again, kind of a
scary dystopian future by Vonnegut. This is from Leonardo da

(06:27):
Vinci about hard work. I love this. They found this
in one of his codexes, Iron Russ from disuse. Stagnant
water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen.
Even so does in action sap the vigor of the mind.
So we mut stretch ourselves to the very limits of

(06:50):
human possibility. Anything less is a sin against both God
and man. Right, that's right again, you want to compete
with da Vinci, work hard, be inquisitive if you want
to get ahead. Nothing wrong with that. Equality. Quality has

(07:14):
become a dirty word watch dog on Wall street dot Com,
