The Common Sense Conservatives with Michael French

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Common Sense Conservatives, a political discussion group
about current events and other government related matters every Wednesday evening.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
From seven to eight pm right here on.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
WUSMN fifteen ninety AM, WUSMN ninety five point three FM,
and streaming live on WUSMN dot Live. Making sense of
the inverted reality we are subject to every day. The
Common Sense Conservatives are here to help bring you back
to reality. Now, your hosts Chris Wyatt, Todd McKinley, and
John Golovin.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
All right, hey, folks, welcome back to the Common Sense Conservatives.
If it's Wednesday night right here on the WSMN fifty
ninety AM and ninety five point three FM, it is
the Common Sense Conservatives. I'm todmy Kinley in Northeast Tennessee.
Join and my co host John Grogner, who holds down
the studio there in downtown Nashaua, and Colonel Chris White
there in Central PA. Gentlemen, how are you.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
We're doing? Todd, you know, same? Will same over here
in New Hampshire, man, and just just enjoying the freedom,
wondering new move the states. Too close to the Sun
goes things got hot Rey the quick around here. But
we're not going to complain. I mean, you know right.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Well, you're not going to complain, But I'll be happy
to complain about it being hot and huge. It got
really hot really fast, and really humid really fast. I
think contributed to our low turnout yesterday and our primary.
Just fourteen percent of registered voters rocked up for the
primary yesterday. It was one factor, but there's a very
low turnout. It's the lowest I've seen out of five
thousand and four and in a registered voters, we had just
seven hundred and sixty seven votes, and that includes provisional

(01:29):
So as a long day as usually as an election day,
but I was greedy with really good news are Todd.
As I left to drive the returns back to the
county seat, listening to the radio, I saw that Thomas
Massey was defeated, and that made my day. It's good
to hear he goes down, along with a senator who
got burned last week, Cassidy. He's gone now too, and

(01:50):
a number of Trump haters are finding their way to
the exits. And I'm very happy about that.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
All right, John, Yeah, No, we've talked about this before,
you know, with this whole low turnout midterm elections and
stuff in state state primary, state elections, and it's kind
of ridiculous, you know, because we're counting on people to
step up, at least people conservatives. You got to step up,
you know, it's very, very important this election cycle. But

(02:17):
Chris makes a good point. They're pointing out that Trump
points a finger and somebody says vote for that guy,
and people are paying attention. So that shows a lot
of strength on Trump's part that people are on Trump's agenda.
So yeah, Conservatives definitely step up, pay attention and get
in there and vote.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Right well, speaking of elections recently, down in Texas, New Bramfels, Texas,
they had an election for mayor, and of course said
the person we're about to bring on here, Michael Frinch,
one of the most votes. He won forty nine point
somehi percent of the vote, but the city charter, I
guess they changed something. They said you had to have
the majority of votes, and of course the contradiction of

(02:56):
the with the state constitution. Now there's a runoff at
this coming. Even if we could bring Mike on, we've
had him on here a couple of years ago when
he ran for mayor last time, and of course this
time we thought he won the nominat or won the
mayor's race, and turns out like the next day, surprise,
you didn't win. Michael tell us, tell us, my friend,
it's good to see you again. It's been a while.

(03:19):
I'm very proud of you. I just want to tell
you that. And by the way, we're old army buddies.
Of course we were at the White House together.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
And of course the colonel by the way, if you remember,
he's also army. So but Mike, tell us everybody about
the race and what the heck happened and why are
we in a runoff?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Well, first of all, can you guys hear me? Yeah, yeah, okay,
that's good. I don't have a microphone. I mind sell
the table one day and broke so three years ago, listen.
But I yeah, so I decided to run again. And
of course, when you do run, I always thought, believe
it or not, that I had to get fifty percent

(03:57):
plus one, you know, for for months and months until
sometime in March, soone pointed out to me, Hey, French,
up here in the ordinance and the ordinance number for
this city is twenty twenty six. THATSH five. I believe
Dash five or two where it says for the mayor position,
you have to have plurality vote or the most votes

(04:19):
will win no matter what. And for the two city
councils spots, it's going to be majority, which is fifty
percent of the votes plus one vote. So I had
to explain to people for a couple of weeks that, hey,
we got to do as much as we can because
we need just one extra vote above this guy that
I'm running against. He is the incumbent mayor, and for

(04:40):
since the beginning of time in New bron Fels has
always been developers. There's always been people in big positions,
Chamber of Commerce that has always won mayor. It's always
been kind of like a tag, you're it, we know you,
you're going to be the next one. But long story
short is they've always you know, since nineteen ninety five
the charter for the city, and the charter said the

(05:03):
mayor is going to be the most voted accounts. No
one has ever caught it until right now when I
did win for the most votes that I had eight
hundred and fifteen more votes, and I was so happy
about that. For three days. I was mayor for three days, Okay,
I was getting interviews from Channel four News and San
Antonio and people from Austin calling me, people from the

(05:23):
state state representatives and all that congratulating me. And then
some of the current mayor's lawyers came up and said, Hey,
wait a minute, this is this is our wild card
that we've had in our pocket. You know, this is
I believe they've had it all this time in just
eight nineteen.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
So no one has ever went below fifty percent. So
the always the mayors have always got fifty something percent,
sixty percent, and this time he only had thirty eight percent.
I had forty nine point one eight percent and eleven
percent more. And they decided, hey, it's not really what
our ordinance is saying. We have been brilliant. We've been

(06:05):
going to gainst the state constitution for thirty one years,
and you're going to have to have a runoff. So
that's where I'm at. You know, for two days, I
was upset, But no reason to get upset anymore. I'm
just going to follow the rules the state put in
place for offices there are three years or more its
majority vote for two years. It's plurality, and they made

(06:25):
a mistake. And I don't think it was a mistake.
I just know that this was a wild card. So
I'm going against this. And ever since then, the city
has been so upset the people that voted for me,
and that they're going to come out in big time
this time. They're holding their breath and they want to
take their neighbors and their friends. They want to come
out and they want to vote really like the first day.

(06:48):
So that's what's going on. It just something happened in
the charter didn't match the state constitution. So now we're
going to win the Texas Way. That's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
There, we go to the Texas Way. And real quick,
before we go further, what are the dates of the
election coming up? I know you have some early voting
dates and an actual election day.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Well, so June first, all the way through June nine,
that's early voting and from seven o'clock to seven, you know,
seven to seven, and there's maybe one or two locations,
but the people of the citizens in this city, they
know the main locations right and June thirteen, June thirteen
is the actual voting day. That's the election day. Okay, gotcha.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
We're gonna turn over to Colonel Chris White for some
good questions. And don't be afraid he's not gonna beat
you up too bad. No, I've spoke to him before.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah. Well, I just got to say, no reflection on you, Mike.
But you know what the heck is this? I mean,
election season. It's a runoff election. They can't manage to
pull this off in one day. I mean, that's a
very anti democratic measure. Is that something the Democrats also
put in place? Or did Republicans play a role in that? No,
I have no idea, sir.

Speaker 5 (08:00):
This is a heavy, heavy red area, and I believe
it was just some kind of fail safe they put
in place a long time ago, and it's just developers
upon the lawyers and they want to stay in that
spot and they never knew this was ever going to happen,
but it did happen. And that's what I believe. And

(08:21):
there's a lot of people on my side to believe
the same thing. This is just a wild card. So
I know that I'm going to do very well because
there's a lot more people. I receive over a thousand
emails a day, and I really cannot answer all of them.
My donations went out the roof of the day that,
you know, the third day after day three after I won,

(08:42):
where people said, well that everyone's saying that you lost.
Now no one wants so my donations went way above everything.
I've raised so much money it's unbelievable. But these are
small donations. I know that it's going to be very big.
People want to know what to do in this town.
They want to, you know, an actual regular citizen actually
becoming mayor. It's kind of it's kind of a different thing.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yep. Well, I mean the whole thing with the plurality thing,
that's definitely an argument an interest. But no, I was
I was getting. I mean for a runoff election. I
don't understand how they have eight days or nine days
to mail. And that's ridiculous early voting copy early voting
for a runoff. I mean, it's a runoff. You don't
have a lot of time here. I mean, it's they're
just making a joke of democracy. I mean, it should

(09:23):
be a single day for runoff. None of the nonsense
in the.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Colonel Leasure of elections.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
By the way, Oh yeah, there's a lot of stuff
that goes on down here in elections we have right now.
We had, of course, the primary runoffs for all the
Republicans down here in the Democrats. We have all the
seats the states and the federal seats. We had so
many different election days. This is like the fourth different

(09:48):
elections within two months. It's kind of weird. So people
have no idea what's going on, and run off elections,
you can forget about people ever coming out. You know,
you have to work triple hard just to remind people
that they there's an election still going on for this seat.
And so when you guys were talking about how much

(10:09):
percentage of people actually come out to vote, we're talking
this city. Believe it or not, about three to four
percent of registered voters ever vote in this city. It's
unbelievably weird, but that's what happens. And people are very
in tuned of what's going on here. But a lot
of people don't really actually come out and vote, so
we have to try really hard. We walk every weekend

(10:30):
about nine hundred homes. Every weekend, We walk that many
just to remind people there's an election going on.

Speaker 4 (10:36):
Yeah. Wow, well a serious question here for you. You know,
New brawn Fells is famously settled by Germans, hence the
name Brawlin Fells, which means brown cliffs. Literally, do you
take a lot of flak.

Speaker 6 (10:47):
For a name like French in a German town.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
No one's ever brought that up. No, And they kind
of want to know if I know French. But I
the only thing I know is maybe we we or uh,
And I don't know French. My my grandparents, my great
grandparents came. They came from Canada and there's a store
behind that. Their last name came. They knew French, so

(11:10):
they said the French Man and they just the French
stayed with the guy and so. But no, no one
never talked about the French. Yeah, it's just my last name.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Well, I mean, look, New brown Files is such a
heavily German town. The local newspapers called the Herald Seytone,
which is a German name.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
That's right, the Herald Titone. Yeah, but there's a lot
of Spanish heritage and there's a lot of Hispanic heritage.
There's a mix of everything here, but there's more heavily German.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Well, I mean that's who originally settled and created the
settlers Germans when they came there. So one of the
biggest issues that you're hoping to fix when you get
in office. I know we've talked before, but it's been
a while since we chatted.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
Well, mainly the over development is what's making a lot
of the current you know, the citizens that live here
kind of upset. We're growing very, very, very fast, and
there's been articles over the years of where the third
or the second fastest growing city in the United States.
There's a lot of cities in the United States, but
we are the fastest. And so you have all these

(12:11):
developers and developments encroaching, all these green spaces, all these
trees being mowed down, and people that live here they
love the small hill country. Look the feel the Texas
hill country. You got rolling hills, you got cattle, you
got but that's all disappearing. It's being mowed down by
apartment complexes and by big businesses. And people are seeing

(12:32):
that and they're very upset. They don't like it. And
the current mayor and the generations of mayors that all
they want is continuous, hyper speed growth. But our citizens
they don't want that anymore. They want it to slow down.
The infrastructure of roads that it's not made. You sitting
there with two lane roads that and then you've got

(12:53):
all these big buildings being popped up. The traffic is horrendous.
They used to take five minutes to go across town.
Now it takes thirty five to forty five minutes is
complete traffic. The water situation is very, very bad because
the seven resources of water that we do take from
the State of Texas in the local areas in our region,

(13:14):
the top two, which provided at least fifty three percent
of the water our city consumes, is at stage red levels,
like super bad. We have an Edward's Aquifer underneath the
big major part of Texas that's drying up. The Edward's
Aquifer which feeds San Antonio and all these ten counties,
eight or ten counties. Now it's at level four, which

(13:36):
is the lowest ever in history. And we don't get
much rain where it's such a bad drought. But every
area in this region is developing so fast and it's
just the water doesn't have time to replemish inside the
recharge zones. The aquifer is dying. And then we have
our major one Canyon Lake, which is a big Lake
about about forty miles above me. That can Lake is

(14:01):
drying up very very bad. You have, it's reaching levels
so bad that when you used to go to the
beach three years ago at Canyon Lake, where your toes
used to hit the water, it is receded about thy
five hundred feet. And when you go to where the
water is now, if you look straight up, about twenty
three to twenty three feet above your head was where
the water used to be. And that water is not

(14:23):
coming back anytime soon. We got a big major drought
going on. But so people see that too, and so
our water resources are just disappearing, and we just keep developing.
And Yeah, there's two big other major things that I
always bring up. Data centers are coming here too, and
I'm going to fight really hard against data centers, these

(14:44):
big ones coming down in our county. That with a
town in a county that has no water, a region
where the water is hurting, you do not need data centers.
It's the last thing that you need. Yeah, there's just
a bunch of things. I'm not sure how much time
I have have to talk.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Yeah, so I was going to say, you know, you
might as well come up here because we have exact
same problems. Warehouses, data centers growth out of control. They're
building the two housing complexes, you know, apartment living for
like twenty four hundred dollars. This is a Perry urban area.
We're not even near a metropolitan you know, and it's
twenty four hundred bucks a month for free bedroom rental.
It's just insane. And that's not the issue. The issue

(15:23):
is that they're clogging our roads and the roads are
falling apart, and they don't schedule maintenance. At the same time,
the county, the township, the state are all doing and
so like half the bridges around here have been taken
out for service, some for two years. It's like we've
got African contractors here, you know, or it was some
kind of scam going on, like Italian building or something.
I don't know, but it's pretty crazy. So it sounds
like you have the same sort of issues there. But
you mentioned the aquifier. You know, one of the things

(15:45):
that people don't pay attention to with the population that
that's filling up in Texas, filling up in the Rocky
Mountain area, filling up in the Midwest, is that there's
a reason why not a lot of people live there.
These areas are drawing overdrawing, for instance, in the Plain
States from the ogall Aquai fire, largest in North America,
and they're draining it. And that's water that's been there
for millions of years, accumulating, and as you said, it's

(16:06):
not refilling. Look, I've been not to do Brown Falls,
but I've been to San Antonio and I got to
tell you this much, man, I'm not going back in
August stuff again, that's a death sentence. It is hot, hot, hot,
hot me. Soil on fire is singing hot, hot, hot
in San Antonio, and I imagine new brown Foles. Even
though it's a little bit of hill country there, it's
also very hot in August.

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Yeah, we're about thirty four miles away from San Antonio's.
It gets one hundred and fifteen degrees during the summer
and it and for the past few years it's kind
of like almost nine years now, it's been in a
mega drought. The drought it just is continuous and when
you have no rain, you have this heat every day,
months and months and months. You have all these fire

(16:48):
bands and all that stuff. You have to watch out
for the hill country burning.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
You have to you know.

Speaker 5 (16:53):
And when people can't water their their farms and their cattle,
that all just goes away. They're all dead. And so
this major thing now is the Hill Country. There's cities
our city, cities around our city don't want it. But
this thing called a thoroughfare plan where it's a giant
highway they want in all these little tiny highways going

(17:15):
across this major farmland called the Hill Country between our
city and Canyon Lake. It's the charm and they're going
to completely bulldoze it away and tear it apart. It's
going to be ugly and that's going to kill everything
around here. That's the plan for this area. And I
do want to stop all of that. And it's not

(17:37):
just people in the city that are waiting and wanting
me to get in and win. They know that there's
a lot of people out there in this region that
are watching and that want to talk to me. They
are talking to me. My Facebook pages alone, we did
three months get over. They got over a million, seventy
something views in three months, but it's every month, it's
about pretty close to four hundred thousand. It's weird now,

(18:01):
but people are messaging me. I can't see all the messages,
but we have to take care of our land here
and our water. And this over development that is going on,
and the plan development is going to completely destroy everything,
and and people are just going to get up and
move away. And they're doing that right now. They're just
leaving people that been here for generations. They're just tired

(18:22):
of it.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
I don't blame him. I understand that that that overbuilding
a congestion becomes prospeaking, which I thirty five bisecs New
Brown files.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
Is that already a challenge for the town? I mean
that highway going right through the middle of it.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, it's a big corridor highway. It's between San Antonio
and Austin, is the Highway thirty five, and we are
right in the middle of it. And not only does
all that traffic go right through us. You know that
Highway thirty five from San Antonio and Austin, it's a
three to four lane highway, but two sets back and forth,

(18:55):
you know what I mean, They're building a giant highway
on top of it, a three four lane highways, So
you're gonna have four highways between both these cities going
directly through us. Not only is that a problem because
the construction is going to last another five ten years.
But the traffic between to get thirty four miles takes
me an hour and ten minutes sometimes to get to work.

(19:17):
But I call it the corridor of crime because crime
is coming through our corridor and landing through our city.
And you have a lot of drugs going on. You
have a lot of aggravated assaults going on. A few
days ago, we're downtown, you had some guy just pull
up and start shooting people. It's weird. You never really
had that much type of crime coming here. But drugs

(19:38):
are doing pretty bad. Here's we even caught a big
drug kingpen. But we have to deal with that type
of traffic now. And this brings up one topic of
our police officers. You know, there's this thing that I
looked up. The FBI statistics say that the average for
the national average a police officer per one thousand citizens

(20:01):
is about two point six officers. You need to have
a healthy city, and so we we have about one
hundred twenty eight thousand residents in this city and we
have at least one point one officers per one thousand citizens.
Now we're short, at least I want to cut the
number and half. Though we're short at least fifty three.
I say one to thirteen, but I want to make

(20:23):
everyone feel good. We're short about fifty officers. And this,
you know, this count doesn't include our tourism that comes here.
We're very big in tourism. About three to four million
people a year come through here. That's another eleven twelve
thousand people a day. And those officers were not providing
any service to those people that come through here. So

(20:45):
I want to implement something that big major cities have,
and that's a crime control and Prevention district. And that
allows a sales tax when people buy stuff in our city.
It allows me to take about one quarter of one
cent at every eight cents and put it towards the
police department. And that allows for hiring police officers. That

(21:05):
allows for higher salaries because police officers leaving the force
to go to some other area, even across the street
to the sheriff's department for better pay. We need a
weapons training facility because we don't have one. Our city
hasn't had a forethought of creating webist training facilities. You know,
being in the military, you have to train all the time.

(21:26):
We don't have that here. I'm gonna make sure that
we have that. Our vehicles. We need more vehicles, better
communication equipment. You know, Todd in Waka, when we were
in White House, all we did is provide communications. I'm
pretty sure when you're overseason war you have to you
demand good communications. You know, shoot, move, communicate. But our

(21:47):
police officers have obsolete, esoteric type of radio systems and
we need to upgrade them. All that could be possible
if I passed the Crime Control and Prevention District and
our city and our city leadership has denied police officers
every time they've asked for it. They don't want it.
And that comes from sales tax money, which is the
Economic Development Corporation money, and those people that are in

(22:11):
the EDC they're afraid of that, of losing their money,
and that we have to do that. If people want
a safe town, we need more police officers on the road.
We really do well time.

Speaker 6 (22:23):
You've got to have proficient firearms training.

Speaker 4 (22:25):
Obviously, you can't have a police run around that can't
hit a target or unfamiliar or pull their firearm when
they mean to pull their taser like we had happened
to Minneapolis. That's that's really a bad situation. I do
have an odd question if I get in here very
quick before Tig gets back in there. Your city boundaries
have this one really strange anomaly in the west side
of town.

Speaker 6 (22:46):
It's like a long finger that runs up.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
Is that like, did they like figure out there's like
a secret trunch of natural gas or oil that they
want to tap on me any idea what that's all about,
because it's really weird.

Speaker 5 (22:57):
Yeah, one of those districts, and I believe it might
be District three. There's a little finger, you're right, that
goes up. I have no idea why there's a finger
that goes up there. Is there some guy's house that
they want that guy?

Speaker 3 (23:10):
I think that must be what it is.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
The guy was at the end of the room. He
wanted to be part of the town. They want his
tax base.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
There's something called extraterrestrial jurisdiction, was called the ETJ, and
there's at least fifty thousand people who heard they have
new bron folds on their envelopes for addresses, but they
cannot vote. And so when you see a finger go
up there, you're like, wait a minute, is there someone
up there? This is just me thinking, okay, might not
be real. Who they want to be part of the

(23:38):
voting system, I don't know, but it's clearly going through
areas and neighborhoods, just getting to one spot. Okay, But
I want to get rid of the ETJ because there's
fifty thousand other people out there that would love to
be part of any voting system for local elections and
they can't. They're sitting there going, Mike, I want to
support you, but I live across the street in the

(24:01):
outer limits, the twilight zone. I can't do anything. So
I'm going to have to work with a state in
order to get rid of that. But yeah, that little finger,
I have no clue what that is. That's what reminds
me of oh exactly.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
That's that's why I brought it up. I mean, because
it's it's really it's really an odd situation. Look, I've
seen stuff like that before. Some munispillers will do that
so have access to a water source, particularly place, and
that's why I thought it might be that. But there
was nothing above soil. So maybe maybe the Oxford I
don't know, but yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
A men at some point in time, you know, long
before anybody else living came along. So what do these
people vote? Mike, So I'm here, they're they're like disenfranchised.
They can't vote in the place they live. Do they
vote somewhere else in a different county, a different city,
or what's going on there.

Speaker 5 (24:44):
So they only could do county elections, that's it. County
and state elections. They can't do any New Bronfels local
elections school board or city council or mayor. They can't
vote for them, even though it takes not even five
minutes in their downtown they live. Right, there's a there's
a neighborhood right across the street from me that's deep

(25:04):
into the herd of New Bronfels. But because the neighborhood
is brand new, that was just built within the ETJ
within a few years from from now, a few years ago,
they're part of the extraterrestrial jurisdiction. They cannot vote, and
it's weird. And they're across the street neighbors they can vote.
It's it's weird.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
So when you get paid taxes, right.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Well, yeah, they pay taxes, and I think I think
they pay county taxes and the other people across the
street they pay city taxes, and I believe county taxes too.
The one thing is, yeah, it's just a big, big issue,
and I wish that I can get rid of the ETJ.
It would make so many people happy. I mean, I

(25:48):
got a ton of friends out there that just like,
they walk neighborhoods with me, but they just they can't
support me by voting. They can't. It's weird. What question
you got there, Todd.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Oh no, no, no, I was just harkening back to you.
You're talking about the police radio network, et cetera. And
I'm like, here's a guy who built radio networks for
the Secret Service so that they could use around the world,
not not just you know, in the country, but around
the world, so that they could talk on their radios.
And we had kind of a state of the art
at the time. I think if the voters should listen
to you at least on that topic, if not all

(26:22):
these other topics you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
Yeah, it was a P twenty five system and the
Motorola radios and stuff. Well, I'm sitting here and I
asked a few officers. I said, point me out some
of your antennas and stuff. Let me see your vehicles
and and yeah, some antennas on their vehicles they get
ripped off all the time. And the infrastructure of some
antennas that they have that they're so old and they're

(26:45):
so dry rocked. It's unreal. People have to maintain those. Yeah,
those have it just it just it irks me. It
kills me that I'm sitting here that I think I
know so much about radios and stuff at least and
Satcom that hey, I got to help these guys out.
They have to be able to communicate. And yeah, you're right.
It me and you we know so much about radios.

(27:06):
It's unreal. That's what we did.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
And you talk about the you talk about the core
inn order of crime or whatever you called it a
minute ago. You think about it. You know these drug
cartails that are running through those areas and other crime syndicates,
they have better communications than the police and that shouldn't
be for crying out loud. And plus you don't have
the numbers of people to actually interdict anybody coming through
those areas.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
Yeah, you're right, And I'm not sure. I think it's
the highway patrol or state that patrol Highway thirty five,
and we patrolled was tiny section that runs through us.
But there is so much trafficking that goes on through
that highway it's unbelievable. And we just have to make
sure that the people that get off and go into

(27:51):
our city. We have to be we have to have
manpower to make sure the people in the city are
safe because things happen. Shootings happen now, more shootings are happening,
and we're building a bigger jail here. We've got a
big jailhouse planned, and it's just I want people to
remain safe. And I'm I'm I'm just seeing all these

(28:11):
blotter reports and police reports online. It's like, Wow, this
is just every day stuff is happening. So you see
the current mayor saying the crime rate is down six percent.
That is a total lie. They're doing that because his
election season. It's up by seven percent of aggravated assault, stabbings,
shootings right people running you over by a car. He's

(28:32):
talking about people that go to your house, break in
your house, break you know, steal cars and stuff like that.
Dwis or up twenty percent at eight hundred and fifteen
pulled over last year. You're talking about over seventy something
thousand phone calls for help. Okay, it's just too much

(28:53):
going on, and we need more that even the staff
that work inside the police departs and handle all these
calls and do the administration. We need more of those
people too, because they're hiring part time people that come
in maybe a Friday to try to to catch up
on some of the paperwork ause some of that administrative stuff.

(29:13):
They need help. And I don't think anyone's listening to that,
but I'm going to make it happen. I'm going to
provide help. And yeah, the corridor of crime, that's what
I call it.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Corridor of crime. Okay, So what were some of the
plans that you have that maybe some of the people
who may be listening or who maybe maybe they didn't
vote for you this past you know, election, that maybe
are looking to this next go around. What are some
plans that you've talked about that you want to actually
put in place to actually work on, you know, trend
crime downward. What are some plans you have in place?

Speaker 5 (29:46):
Yeah, So, the the one thing is we have to
have proper training facilities for police officers, you know, and
when they're working overtime, after overtime, sometimes forced overtime. Anybody
working their job overtime overtime, they get tired and their
mental capacity is not there all the time, you know,
like airplane pilots anybody. Sure, So sometimes decisions are not

(30:07):
made properly. We want to make sure that they're well rested.
They have a better force or a bigger force. Not
better because we have an outstanding police force, but they're bigger,
and we have to make sure not only that, the
mindset and when you see police officers on the road,
on the corners everywhere, just sitting at the corners, that

(30:27):
makes people want to Some people feel a lot better,
you know, and some people may not do crime as
much if they see the force out there. And I
think that's a big thing you have to You have
to have a force that is seen, you know. And
there's one thing I want to talk about other than
that is the growth. How can Mike stop the growth?

(30:49):
People are saying, put your head in the sand, French,
you can't do anything. Well, city hall can and I
can have influence in city hall. I can make sure
that our zoning requests are turned. I don't want high
commercial rezoning. I don't want high capacity residential stacked housing
everywhere from zoning requests. I don't want that. I want

(31:09):
to slow that down. When it comes to water, I
want to make sure we get away from our Canyon Lake,
get away from our Edward's akraifer. I know we have
our Trinity Aquifer and the Wilkins z Aqraifer. Because we're
scrounging around for table scraps to find other resources of
water that already are still hurting. They're hurting all of it.
So we have to work with the State of Texas.

(31:30):
We have to work with our representatives or state senators.
I know them both, and we have to make sure
that the Texas Water Development Board gets speed up the process.
We need desalidation plants up and down the coastline of Texas.
A lot of people don't like desalination plants. That is
the only answer because if you look at Corpus Christy,
they're about dead. They have hardly any water left below

(31:52):
ten percent, and people are afraid. But the State of
Texas has to step up. The governor take responsibility, start
making these plants, I don't care how much they cost,
you know, and make up grid of pipelines of water
pipelines for this, you know, water deficit cities, and we
have to and it's going to take about ten years.
We have to start feeding our cities water because in

(32:15):
ten years from now, those aquafers, that Canyon Lake, they
won't be there. And we are consuming fifty three percent
of those two things. But we have seven resources and
those seven resources are very very they're dwindling. So we're
going to be just like Corpus Christy. At some point.
You have to think ahead, deal with the state, say look,
you guys better do something. And I know people up

(32:37):
there because I've dealt with people since I ran for
Congress and they know me too, right, but they're on
my side when it comes to that. So that's the
water issue, right, how to fix that?

Speaker 3 (32:49):
How's your relationship you just mentioned you know your state.
How is your relationship with your state legislature?

Speaker 5 (32:54):
Well, I talked to two main people and that is
Carrie Isaac, she's the state representative here and from my
my district, okay, and then I have Senator Donna Campbell
and they are both very very good. These are women
that are fighters and they're very smart, and they they win.
They win every time their terms. People love them, especially

(33:17):
this city, they love them, to death. And so Carrie
Isaac and Donna Campbell they always come down here to
New bron Fols. They have a big, wide range of counties,
but they're always here all the time, and they're even
at city Hall all the time arguing for the people
for certain things like the thoroughflore A Plan, which is
giant highways to go over and cut up the hill country.

(33:40):
So those. I even met Carrie Isaac, the representative of
a few about three weeks ago. We were at a fundraiser,
a charity fundraiser for battered women, and she was always happy.
They're always happy to see me and they talk to
me for at least fifteen minutes, me and my wife.
But they are on my side and I'm gonna be
talking to them all the time, all the time.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Absolutely, And of course they rea brought out to me.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
I did win. They reached down to me.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
But so yeah, he brought up Congress and of course
he ran for Congress. How's your relationship with the member
of Congress there? Your House of Representatives?

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (34:18):
Are you talking about federal?

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (34:20):
Correct? Us House?

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I actually when okay, Chip Roy, Now yeah, I'm I'm
on telephone friends with one of his assistants and stuff
like that. I don't really talk to Chip Roy much
at all. He's right now running for attorney general. And
uh yeah, he's in his runoff is right now, so

(34:45):
the primary runoff, so that should be completed in a
few days, so you might know whether he wins or not.
You know, a lot of people are pulling for him.
A lot of people are down here. This city is
what made him be elected city right here, him and
Ted Cruz, right.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
I was just saying, you know, maybe an idea would
reach out to him to maybe free up some federal
dollars to assist in some areas down there for maybe
for policing, for water, whatever the kid's case may be.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Oh yeah, you're exactly right. You're exactly right. And I
have like a I have a giant notebook of stuff.
When I go to city Hall, I'm taking notes of
people up there talking about things that they're doing, wasting money, money,
good money the city has. I'm like, this could be
done federally, this could be done by the state, This
could be done by grants. They won't know what's going
to hit him when I hit him into all that stuff.

(35:33):
They will not know what to do?

Speaker 3 (35:35):
All right, Yeah, you have any questions.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Actually, I was thinking earlier you're talking about water desalination
and you were referring to over by the golf. Are
you's talking about desalination at the level of the golf
and pumping it up or because to my understanding, San
Antonio does have a water desalination process within the city,
doesn't it. It is possible you can team up with
them since they're already established and pump it in from

(35:58):
that way.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Well, the unsure desalination plants, they're taking brackish water, whatever
water they have. I'm sorry mcdoggie, but the desalination plants,
you have to get water from somewhere, and when your
water table or the on land water around that area
is decreasing, I believe those desalination plants aren't gonna do
much good at any time within a few years. I

(36:23):
do not trust on land desalination plants.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Now.

Speaker 5 (36:26):
I know you have reservoirs. I know you can fill
up reservoirs, but when it comes to the ocean, that's
all the water you need. And I don't see why
people aren't putting money into that.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Now.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
I know I've done a lot of watching research and
all that how desalination plants work, and but I think
that we need to put our money into that and
then pump all that water into these areas. Yeah, desalination
plans are in San Antonio. They feed water to wake Go,
they feed water, But our town isn't thinking of that,

(37:01):
Our region isn't thinking of that. As far as the
city's north of us. I believe it Austin too. Everyone
is hurting for water, but we can't share desalination plans
with San Antonio when they don't have much water at all.
They're in the same boat we are. I'm just amazed
they're getting the water that they're getting. But we have

(37:22):
to make sure that the state of Texas understands that
not just this city, not just Comel and Guadalupe County.
We have to get the whole region here that is
suffering from water. Start feeding us water and start filling
up our holding tanks, our reservoirs. Like Canyon Lake is
a reservoir, a man made lake, but that is the

(37:43):
future of water in this town and in this whole region.
We just got to act on it now. And we're
hurting very bad. We've been in water restrictions in this
town as ever since I've lived here, and it's getting
close to well about ten years, we've been in restrictions three,
restrictions two. It's unbelievable. You got you're not allowed to
water your yard until every other day, every other week.

(38:06):
It's weird. One day, that's it. That's all you get.
But I'm telling you, San Antonio Reservoir, I'm not going
to count on that or this foundation plant.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
I see your point in that. What is your average
rainfall every year? I mean, is it mostly because of
where you're topographical and you can't capture the water as much,
or is it just really that limited rainfall?

Speaker 5 (38:27):
Well, we don't get much water in this this area
because I believe or not, we're in a very bad
drought and the drought doesn't seem to ever be going away.
It's weird, but this month is the only good month
I've seen in a long long time. Now people think
that I'm a conspiracy theorist when it comes to seating

(38:47):
the clouds. Last year, this company called Rainmaker was in
You know, they were in deep trouble because it just
so happened after they seeded the clouds here. It was
the major flood on July fourth of last twenty twenty five,
which killed hundreds of people and a lot of kids
along the waterway down here, just down the street from me.
And they're doing it now. And so Texas has a website,

(39:11):
and guys, I will feed you the website. It's not
on my head right now, but it's like the agricultural website,
and they have a giant page on what they're doing
for cloud seating. They are doing it, and they're doing
it with I believe it's pretty close to forty three
million square miles of the state of Texas. Let me

(39:32):
get that number right. I may be wrong off the
top of my head, but they are doing it. And
they're only saying that it causes maybe twelve twenty five
percent difference of rain that you normally would get. But
when I look at the sky and I'm seeing it cloudy,
it's never been cloudy in years for a three days

(39:52):
straight and then it rains, and then a week off,
and then is cloudy for three days straight with no
blue in the sky, and then it rains. They're doing
something and that's just me, but I know it because
I've seen it on the Texas website.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
You're right, there's a lot of documentation that they've been doing.
Seeing I think it's far back to the nineteen fifties
and their states right now that are passing laws about
interferencing with the weather and stuff like that.

Speaker 5 (40:16):
And it's cheaper than dessoalidation plans. They spent about one
point six million dollars a year, and they're like, well,
we're bringing you water, and it's not enough water. I
tell you that. But I believe, and it's just me
that the guys that did it last year made a
heck of a lot of rain which flooded the area.
I know that they say that they have been excused

(40:38):
from that, but they did. They were doing it a
whole week before that major flooding, and they can't take
that out of my mind. I don't care who tells
me that they are not responsible for that. Maybe they're not,
and some court said that they weren't responsible for It's okay.
I'm just gonna have to live with that. Yeah, but
they are seating. They are seating a lot.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Look, get a map. Though, you're just above the golf right,
I mean, you're the golfer is right below you. It's
not that it's a way, but you would think some
of the moisture, some of that rain would come off
the golf and kind of carry you over. But that
apparently doesn't happen where you're at. Is there a reason
for that? Is it do with the airflow or something
that prevents us from happening.

Speaker 5 (41:17):
When you drive from here, you have to go east
for about two and a half hours to finally get
to the Gulf of America. And I don't know why
the moisture doesn't accumulate above us and rain. It just
will not happen. It doesn't happen. And you know, the
funny thing is, I live on a hill just a

(41:37):
little bit. It's a canyon. I live on top of it.
And even if it does rain in our city, for
some reason, it skips my house. It won't rain where
I'm at. Then I can see a wall of rain
all around me. It's weird.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
It sounds like you're living in a part of Florida
that's relocated. And we were talking about that here last
week about the rains and stuff in Florida. How it
does that. You know, you can watch it rain on
the other side of the street, just pouring and you're
standing there dry as a bone.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Yeah, it's weird. It's weird. And my plants die all
the time. It's like you kill yourself trying to plant
just even flowers and plants, and then you watch them
die every summer. They just about Your lawn is always
yellow in the summer.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
If I live, you live, I think a resort to
a rock garden at this point in time.

Speaker 5 (42:22):
Yeah, yeah, zero escape. I want businesses to go zero
escape around here. Around here, the citizens I believe they
deserve to have their own lawns and their flowers. I
don't I don't expect them. I'm not going to tell
people to stop watering the yard, but people are starting
to do zero scape. Sam clen my doggie. But I

(42:43):
do want businesses here to at least go zero scaping.
You have AstroTurf that almost looks like real grass. I
want them to do that. I want them to conserve water.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
Right now, it makes sense that you know, and of
course you you can have a say on in this
and lead you know, your city council and of course
lead your residence as well in this, and let them
know why it's important and why you're doing it. You're
not doing it to infringe on any sources liberty or
anything like that. It's just to save the water so
they can live basically.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
Yeah, and I feel really bad because it's one of
the biggest issues here. That and overgrowing. But the overgrowing
is sucking water. So you have a big bathtub that
used to have maybe fifty straws, it's got a million
straws now and it doesn't rain. So you're in trouble.
So we have to slower growth down. We have to
back off, reassess what's going on here, give a breather

(43:34):
to the people, and work on our infrastructure of roads
and a water pipelines. We have to do that, and
I believe we're not doing that. We're just continuing to
massively plan to overgrow. That's what we're doing.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
Yeah, you did say you have population growth, so more
people there are, the more consumption of resources.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
There, that's saying if you build it, they will come. Well,
they're massively building and build and building. And people are
coming from San Antonio, they're coming from Austin, They're coming
from uh all over the state of California, Colorado, Florida,
They're all coming. The state of Texas, but a lot
of them are landing here. They love it here. But
the charm of the Texas Hill Country is being is

(44:17):
being bulldozed the way, so we have to keep that charm.
Let's let's keep the charm. Maybe you know, That's what
I want to try to do, right And yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
What's some of the major industry in your area that
people tend to tend to work at?

Speaker 5 (44:34):
Uh So, the industries mainly it's retail the way I
see it, there's a lot of retail here, and I
know they're trying to build that. You do have Amazon here,
you do have some different other warehouses here. You do
have a plastics company that's coming here, is going to
be the headquarters from Canada. And I'm not in a

(44:55):
big favor of that because what happens to all the
runoff of when you create those plastics? Where are you
gonna put that water? And don't tell me you can't.
They're shipping it somewhere. But I would say it's mainly
just retail. I know you have a lot of farmers
out here, especially in the farmlands, but they're hurting and
they're being forced to sell their land because they can't

(45:16):
They can't water their land, so the cattle is not
there anymore, So it centives for the urban well you
know the taxes centers for cattle when you don't have it.
Now you have higher property taxes, and so people that
had these lands for generations are being forced to sell it.
And a good friend of mine who lives in the
ETJ but in farmland, had about fifty six acres of land.

(45:40):
Now she has about fifteen because she can't afford the
land anymore she's had since the beginning of time her family.
It's either sell it five thousand acres of five thousand
dollars an acre or give it up to the county
because you can't afford the taxes on it. So they're
forced to sell to developers and then those developers go

(46:01):
ahead and rezone for high capacity development. That's what they're doing.
It's a it's a cycle, yep, right.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
We're got plenty board Like when when it comes to this,
don't you have a planning board, a city planning board
so for development and stuff. And they're allowing this to
continue to go along with their agenda in this.

Speaker 5 (46:18):
So the the Planning Commission, that's all they want. They
want development on development. You know, there's there's people that
have been there. They're not elected people. They're they're elected
by majority of people in power here. But their main
objective is to plan for growth. That's all it is.
So and I know that I'm going to be bumping

(46:40):
heads with them a lot. And I'm a very nice guy.
I just have a powerful message of hey, we're going
to stop doing what we're doing just right, let's have
a breath, you know. And a lot of people don't
like me because of that, and you see online people
bashing me, bashing my wife, and even bashing my military
career here and I'm sitting here watching all this, and

(47:03):
you know what, I'm not gonna I'm not going to
go negative. I'm not going to answer anybody. If if
they don't think I'm in the military, then they don't
think I was in the military. Ever, it doesn't matter.
They're saying I have stolen valor.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
I'm like, you know what, yeah, uch, I can vouch
that he was in the army without a doubt for sure.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
And they want my DD two, they want it now. Yeah, yeah,
I'm like, no, guys, I was in the military. Okay,
I've got pictures I've got it. I don't want to
give you my DD two fourteen. You guys, I was
in the military, Okay, believe it or not, I was.
I show them.

Speaker 3 (47:38):
Pictures with George W. Bush in the Oval Office in
your uniform. I mean, come on, you know what.

Speaker 5 (47:44):
That's something I'm gonna post because I'm sitting there just
to quiet some people down. I'm like, come on, guys,
how many times will I have to say what I
did in the military and then they don't believe that
I actually did it.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
I generated right.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Yeah, It's it's weird.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
I was with you, I was twenty years old, thirty
years old.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
I was.

Speaker 5 (48:06):
I was with Todd on Air Force two taking a
picture of him sitting down underneath the seal. And so yeah,
we worked in the White House and and it's weird.
It's a giant topic here. They think I was a staffer.
You know, these are the people on the other side
that are trying to bash me, and I'm trying to
tell him. I explained so many times I wasn't a staffer.
I was assigned to it my military duty station. Why

(48:28):
was communications Agency? And I was Our motto was the
voice of the President. We provided communications for the president,
the Vice President, the First Lady, the Secret Service, the
White House staff, no matter what administration it was, and
that's it. So I did my time there. But that
becomes something like it's it is a fairy tale. They're saying,

(48:50):
you never worked for the White House. It's a big
That's what politics is down here.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
You know, for sure?

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yeah, General man, they want to they want to go
against you, and they just they realized and the relentless
when they do.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
It, that's right, and it's it's unbelievable. So I just
give up. And I'm like, you know what, guys, I
don't have to explain myself. Okay, I wasn't the military,
all right, and there you go, and I retired, and
I do have a DV plate where it says US
Presidential Service. I'm like what, And I'm pointing these out.
I mean, you don't get that, Okay, you didn't. But anyway,

(49:25):
enough of that. I'm just it's amazing and and Todd,
you know, politics gets weird. It really come.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
After you, oh for sure. So we got maybe three
four minutes here, okay, between now and of course this
runoff and whenever you're gonna win even bigger. What's what's
the plan? I mean, without divulging everything, what do you
have to do between now and then to get the
voters out?

Speaker 5 (49:48):
So right now, believe it or not, the whole city
knows what's going on. They know me, they know what
I stand for. And I'm sitting town halls, meet and
greets every time I do. When I was before this election,
it makes second. People are coming after me. They're yelling
at my my wife there, they're calling their names, they're
they're coming up to my face. People are becoming violent.

(50:10):
The police recalled. Three police officers come at one time.
So I am just door knocking. That's all I'm doing.
I'm making sure that people know there's still an election
going on because I don't want to be set up again.
Three times in a row. People set up, Hey, I
want to meet and greet here, So when you do,
there's a bunch of people that come after you. People

(50:30):
know who I am, they do. So I'm walking neighborhoods
every day, putting up signs. Still that are being torn down.
My signs are being torn down.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
Torn down, But that's.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Just the way it goes. But my main plan, malicious
is to make sure that. My groups of people are
always on social media, are always talking to everyone and
they know the dates. And we have volunteers every day,
always walking neighborhoods and in different different districts. We're hitting over.
You know, before the selection of this one, I passed

(51:02):
out over nine thousand push cards. Wow, we ordered eleven
thousand more and we're going to push them out. We
had over thirteen thousand text messages go out. We had
phone banking parties. Okay, we're doing We had I had
two commercials go out. We've reached out so much, and
my social media is the biggest thing. A million something views.

(51:25):
What the heck is going on here? But I'm telling you, uh,
it's the ground game is to continue to go out
into those neighborhoods to make.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Sure that website real quick. We got to go to
commercial and we'll talk to you down the road after
you win. What's that website?

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Michael four mayor NBTX dot com, Michael folmayor nbt X
dot com.

Speaker 3 (51:47):
We'll thank you.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
Quch guys.

Speaker 3 (51:48):
Yes, stick around, folks, We're right back. Hey, folks, welcome
back to the Common Sense Conservative. If it's Wednesday on

(52:09):
WSMN fifteen ninety AM and ninety five point three f M.
It's the common sense Conservatives. I'm Todd McKinley, Northeast Tennessee,
Joe by my co host Colonel Chris White and John
groberre in the studio for sure, gentlemen's been a week.
Crazy things had, some elections and stuff like that. Colonel
mentioned at the top of the last hour of the
first hour about Thomas Massey, et cetera, et cetera. Any

(52:30):
surprises in the recent elections Kentucky or other other places Pennsylvania, Colonel, Now.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
The only thing that comes close to press to me
is how unpopular Brad Roethlisberger was. I thought he might
do a little bit better than fifty percent of a
Republican primary. That's pathetic, this trader, this clown who helped
undermine President Trump's administration and his election campaign by simply

(52:58):
failing to do his job and looking back into the
boxes of ballots that were pulled out, hidden ballots there
in Fulton County, pretending that nothing untoward happened in Georgia.
I'm so glad to see this loser out of office,
and I hope that he has no political future. That
one was a little surprising. I didn't think he would
only get fifteen percent. I thought he'd do better than that.

(53:18):
I was not at all surprised to see massy out.
I kind of hope to be a bigger percentage. But
when you put things in context, he's won historically by
thirty percent in every election. So that's my forty percent
swing lost by ten percent. So that's good to see happen.
Next John Cornyn, it's his turn next week in Texas.
We'll send him packing too, hopefully.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Yeah, I think that that will happen, and of course
we'll see John. What about you.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
I think there's a couple of surprises. My friend Billy
payn Or I did the show with them on Tuesday,
Patriot Confederation, and they took a couple of hits on
some good Canada or good they were holding seats or
still aren't the removed but yeah, their termins so but yeah,
I mean they were all good candidates that were, you know,

(54:05):
scoring very very high on the Freedom Index and things
that you would expect people want to keep them in.
But they've got a lot of things going on in Idaho,
you know, as our guest was talking about, you know,
with water issues and things like that. They got similar
issues going on, and I think they've taken hits because
things aren't getting fixed fast enough for people, so they're

(54:25):
taking it out on their own candidates, not realizing what
they're doing, I believe. So, yeah, that was a bit
of a surprise for Idaho. I thought a lot of
concerns for Billy going on in Idaho. I had noticed
a whole lot of other elections. I haven't really gone
through them to see if there was any other ones
out there, but you guys hit on Thomas Massey. I
was kind of mixed on that one. I was like, well,
the people of Kentucky keep them or because Trump pretty

(54:49):
much fingered I'm a bad guy? Is he out? And
I'm telling you, man, Trump is the man right now.
He is the man. And it seems to me when
he's pointing out somebody, he says, I'd like for the
people to vote for that. That guy's got a good
chance of winning right now. And it's funny because it's
reverse role because back in you know, four years ago,
it wasn't so much that way. In fact, was a

(55:10):
quirky booker here, quirky what was his name? He accused
Trump because Trump endorsed him. He says, that's why I lost,
because Trump endorsed me. You know that that was the
following Trump bad people. I hated him right when he
was forty five, But now he's forty seven and things
are happening in the globe and people are seeing how
things are transitioning and what Trump's really doing and how
hard he's really working. I mean, this guy's really really

(55:30):
working for the American people and they're seeing it. So
it's kind of refreshing to see so many people are
stepping up regardless of what they say. His favor favorability
rating is.

Speaker 3 (55:38):
Yeah, can I give you an alternative view? Yeah, I
think what you said is true. But I think also
the Democrats are demonstrating how just horrible and deplorable they
actually are. And of course, anything Trump does, it's marginally better,
just looks like, you know, I guess, leaps and bounds
better than what the Democrats are.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Yeah, you're right, you're right. I agree one hundred percent.
The Democrats were so bad for so long, people have
lost trust in that party and it's going to be
a long time before they can build that back. And
somebody here said that they had the opportunity to meet
jackson Leymeyer. Is he running? Jack? We had him on
the show in Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
He was the congression here in Oklahoma. Interesting, I don't know,
you want to look that up, CEP.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
Is Yeah, he's running in Oklahoma. I did not realize it,
but we did have him on the show if you
guys remember, Yeah, he was the guy who's on the
presidential Religious freedom and we made the.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
Joke of Longmire with lay Meyer or whatever.

Speaker 2 (56:36):
Yeah, good kid, younger guy in his thirties. Yeah, he's
a good guy man, right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (56:40):
Oh, smart guy. Absolutely So, Colonel, give us an assessment
if you don't mind about Iran? What's going on there?
What are we looking at? What's maybe some of the
next steps.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
Will I Ran has threatened the action that will spread
the conflict beyond the region. Yeah. The only thing they
can spread is bs other than funding terrorists, and that's
what they'll probably do, is fun suicide bombers and terrorists
in Europe and in the United States, and probably try
for Israel too, but less successful. These rollers are on

(57:11):
high alert because of the contact there, but I could
easily see them trying to you know, cause cash here
in the country, but they don't have any ability to
sow conflict with their enforces beyond the regions. So we'll
see what happens with them. But they're talking a lot
of nonsense. Trump is given the warning, I think we're
down to the last seventy two hours here, maybe after
maybe before after Memorial Day, this thing is going to

(57:31):
relaunch because they're not given up on that a richer
anium and they're not willing to compromise, although they've given
their latest views, so their proposal, I think it's just
time to turn this place into glass. You know.

Speaker 2 (57:43):
I think the only thing holding Trump back ris is
the Golf States there and asked them not to engage
right away because they wanted to have their own acts
of diplomacy. So he's like, and then we heard at
the top of the hour, Trump's like, oh, I'm in
no hurry. I'm like, are we on a sixty day timeline?

Speaker 4 (57:58):
But well that's over, he said, He said, the cessation
hostill has took place. But today the Senate the day,
well it was manage today yesday, but the Senate passed
a war powers resolution to prevent Trump from restarting the conflict.

Speaker 6 (58:14):
It was betrayed by of course.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
Ever since he's been beat in the head with a hammer,
Ram Paul has become an unreliable member of the Senate.
Ram Paul the usual suspects, Lisa Markowski, Susan Collins, and
of course Bill Cassidy, who was just bounced down in
his ear. He also voted against Trump.

Speaker 6 (58:29):
Feederman voted to support Trump.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
And so it's fifty to forty seven with three US
Senators apps, including Tommy Tuberville whe where he was at
maybe his campaign for governor because he just won his
primary by eighty five percent, yes, right, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
You could be in Washington for a little bit at
this point.

Speaker 4 (58:44):
Right exactly, A got eighty five percent margin. So Tommy
Tuberville famous of course, NAACP, NCAA, NCAA football coach, historic
football coach, a lot of places, including Old miss and Auburn,
which is where he's really famous for Auburn and then
a US senator. Now he'd be a governor. This guy

(59:04):
will be the legend in Alabama f eternity after his career.

Speaker 3 (59:08):
Yeah, oh yeah, something Bear Bryant could have done if
he wanted to ever run for anything after he left
out Alabama you know, he could have been he could
have been governor or senator or whatever.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
Interesting question here from Vieer, why did Trump allow North
Create to get Nicks if such an issue with there on?
He didn't allow North Creator and Knicks. Obama allowed that,
and Clinton Clinton allowed that. Clinton Clinton kept millions of
North Koreans from starving to death by give them food,
and they developed nuclear bomb during Clinton's administration. So Trump
did't allowed to get nwcar weapons. You're just you're just
grabbing straws there, pure.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
Fiction, actually hears. But didn't they do that in two
thousand and six? Was that under Bush that they started
acquiring nuclear weapons?

Speaker 4 (59:45):
No, they started acquiring neclear weapons in nineteen eighties. They
finally perfected the nineteen nineties, and they began launching internet
continental ballistic missiles in the two thousands. But they've had
their weapons for a long time.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Yeah, yeah, sure.

Speaker 6 (59:58):
Sack wasn't the twenty sixteen, in the twenty twenty. It
is long before that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
Yeah, no questioning example of North Korea is once they
have them, how do you take them away? And that's
why Trump is working so hard to keep a run
from getting them, because that's preventative it's easy to be
preventative as opposed to now they got them, what do
we do in their nuclear powerhouse? We can't we can't
stop them.

Speaker 4 (01:00:17):
No, exactly. The Democrats enriched and provided for the survival
of the Kim family regime, personal kleptocracy and fascist communist
regime of North Korea, and the Democrats equipped and armed
and financed the Iranians efforts at trying to have nuclear weapons.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
Interesting, So, right right now, we're, you know, a couple
couple of months away from the midterms, and we still
have a number of primaries over the summer. How do
you think it's trending right now? With a lot of
the redistricting in some of these states, how do you
think it's trending. Is the Republican is going to keep
or gaining the House? And how does the Senate? Look,
what do you guys thought think about that?

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Well, hinges on this or on conflict. You know, there's
people that can't see the real picture of what matters
here is not allowing this rogue theocratic, fascist state just
murdered thirty thousand innocent civilians to turn Israel into glass
with nuclear weapons and then turn those intercontinentbleist to missiles
on Europe. You know, people cannot see that. That's the
reality we face just months away if it wasn't taken.

(01:01:22):
You know, this whole nonsense I'm hearing from these Democratic
politicians about Trump's war of choice. There's no war of
choice here. Trump didn't declare this worthy. Rainies did nineteen
seventy nine, and one president after another, including Trump previously,
simply ignored it. And while they murdered thousands of Americans,
they murdered our service members left and right, they murdered civilians,
they funded terrorism, they murdered Yemeny, they murdered Iraqis, they

(01:01:45):
murdered Iranians. They're just a bloodthirsty regime of ghouls.

Speaker 6 (01:01:48):
And it's finally about time that somebody returned fire.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
You know, how often do you have to be fired
at before you start shooting back.

Speaker 6 (01:01:53):
Well, we finally started shooting back. So what do I
think is going to happen here with the elections?

Speaker 4 (01:01:59):
If this conflict is over done and dusted by the
end of June, it will have no bearing on the
November elections because gasoline price will come back down. I
find it hilarious that people talk about these rising prices
hurt too. The average price to gasoline will reach a record.
How can I reach a record? I was paying six
dollars a gallon in Pennsylvania a couple years ago to
go Biden, and now I'm only paying four dollars and

(01:02:19):
nineteen cents. What record is that nationally? That's utter nonsense.
They just tell any lie they can to mislead people.
It's ridiculous by I said tokiing, Trump is also misleading people.
Gas was dollar eighty nine no in Iowa, but not
the rest of us. We were not paying that before
this work. So the bottom line here is Iran conflict
has no impact in my view right now, other than
the polls, which are just poppy cock. If this thing

(01:02:41):
is resolving in the not a problem the Republicans. If
it goes into July, August, September, they've got a problem
because people are going to vote with their pocketbook, which
is what they always do. They don't vote for the
best thing for the country, They vote for their personal pocketbook.
That's by and large what happens. But if this thing
is over by the end of June, then the Trump
administration and Republicans running races how to point out the obvious,

(01:03:02):
the absolute obvious. Who brought you relief from paying taxes
and so security benefits? Donald Trump? Republicans who brought service
industry people working bars, casinos, hotels, any place that you
get tipped, no tax on tips. Republicans who brought you
no tax in overtime. So if you make twenty dollars

(01:03:23):
an hour work at McDonald's, you work five extra hours,
that one hundred dollars no income tax. So not only
do you get thirty dollars instead of twenty, you get
thirty dollars tax exempt over time.

Speaker 6 (01:03:35):
Pay the whole thing, not just the overtime portion.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Who brought you that? Republicans and Donald trumpooh, by the way,
and we can go through the whole list of things.
Who removed the criminal murder rapist from your neighborhood, Who
Biden led in this country? Donald Trump, who shut down
the sieve that was our southern border which has led
to the cultural bifurcation and the colonization of our country
with Spanish, Donald Trump, Well, you know what. And the Republicans.

(01:03:59):
So that's all they got to do is tell the story.
But they're not telling the story right now. And That's
why they look like they're in trouble. But beyond that,
the redistricting, I think has successfully, even though it's immoral
and wrong in my book, has successfully stopped the Democratic surge.
The Democrats are confused. They don't know what to do
right now because they've lost the war that they started
with Maryland fifteen years ago, and then they picked up
pace with Illinois redistricting. They started this, they lost the war,

(01:04:22):
and they're confused and then all what to do. Now
they're all upset because Trump, instead of taking ten fifteen
billion dollars in a settlement from the government suiting them,
said you know what, put one point eight billion dollars
in the fund and pay the people that you falsely
imprisoned during the COVID or not COVID during the Sanuary
sixth nonsense. So now they're like, oh, so, just these
people don't get it. You notice how they're not talking

(01:04:43):
about windmills and unicorns and solar panels and all that nonsense.
Now they're not talking about that. You would think they
would talk about that. Electric cars when gasoline is five
dollars agaw, but they're not talking about that because America
is not falling for it anymore. We got some stupid
people in this country, but not that many stupid people,
and so I think that ultimately I just need to
end this around thing, defag these clowns, all the guls,

(01:05:07):
prosecute them, and move on from there, and the countryill
return to normal in the World War two. But Trump's
tariffs are still having an impact. So that's the whole
other thing. I think the bottom line here is that
the big issue wing and everything, whether Trump likes or not,
is this Iron conflict.

Speaker 3 (01:05:20):
Got to get rid of that, right absolutely. And do
you think that Republicans will gain in the House and
of course to the Senate, what do we look like?
Just depends on the Iran conflict?

Speaker 4 (01:05:33):
Sega I said, I said, do you.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
Think the Republicans are going to gain or in the House.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Senate, et cetera, or just at the moment. At the moment,
the Republicans are going to gain six to nine seats
in my view at the moment, but things can change
an awful lot. It's that close, uh. In the Senate,
that's hard to predict. Predictors and that happen. But I
think they'll hold their own.

Speaker 2 (01:05:52):
There you go, John, what are you thinking there, I'm
I'm I'm in the stage of hoping that. As said,
it's so hard to predict these things because you don't
really know what's gonna happen. And the greatest concern I
keep it, you know, I echo from time to time
is folks have got to get out and vote. You know,
Conservatives got to get out vote because it's a midterm
election and this is the time when we see the

(01:06:12):
most complacency, we see the low turnouts, and it's not
the time for a low turnoff for conservatives. We got
to stay in our.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Game, absolutely for sure. You got you gotta keep it on.
Out of Tehran, Tehran declares readiness for every scenario Titan's
grip as Trump DeLay's military action. Vahiti threatens devastating blows
if Iran's territory is attacked again. I'm sorry, buddy, uh

(01:06:39):
where where where is these devastating attacks going to occur?

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
I'm sorry, We're gonna use What is the pattibolts they
got left?

Speaker 3 (01:06:47):
You know, what do they have left to wage war?
You know, on an extended scale here.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
I don't think they have much left. Todd they were
trying to attack I mean they were they were using
some of this downtime. I've heard dig out some of
the missiles and stuff we buried if they have if
they ain't access to those, they might actually have some
some missiles left that they may be able to fire,
and they supplably to have some drones left they can use.
But all in all, they think there they've they've tried

(01:07:17):
to make some attacks. I think the UAE here, what
about two weeks ago, had shoot out a couple of
interceptor missiles on on Iranian drones or something to protect
some some vessels. And it's pretty sad. Now you uas like,
look and no, we got to do stuff. So I
think that I think some of the neighboring countries that
are starting to get tired of Iram's crap, well.

Speaker 4 (01:07:39):
They actually they actually were involved in combat. U A
apparently attacked Iron in April. Was not disclosed publicly, but
they've been fighting back.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
You A has Oh nice, nice to hear. Yeah, so
they didn't let us all know. But that's fine, you know,
I mean, how it is they'll just treat us like mushrooms,
feed us full of crap, and keep us in the dark.

Speaker 6 (01:08:00):
Well that's always a possibility.

Speaker 2 (01:08:03):
Just I mean, we're not in a position to be
prived all that stuff anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:08:07):
I'm sure well as Viceroy Greenland he would be privy
on some things.

Speaker 2 (01:08:11):
Right, Yeah, you know, because you've got to step step
up with his viceroy position. You know, we'll count.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:08:18):
Well, the Louisiana governor just went to to Greenland and
he was not well received. He was talking about giving
kids chocolate chip cookies there it is, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
John hand just in case when we need it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
But he was not received very well. So Greg Landy
did not go very well for him. Oh well, that's
his life. He can't have everything, right, Yeah, so we
got it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
Was a new ambassador was well, not Greenland anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
Yeah. Do you know he's going to be ambassador to Slovakia.
Who has been nominated? Who's that? Doug Monstreano. Yep?

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
What that is so cool?

Speaker 6 (01:09:03):
No nomination for me, but Doug got one.

Speaker 2 (01:09:07):
That is crazy. Oh have you reached out to him?

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Yeah? I did. I congratulated me. Thank you for the congratulations. Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Yeah, so that that is a good thing. Maybe we
get him on the show, of course, I think they
tell them to go uh uh silent on any media
until they're confirmed.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
Right, Uh yeah, once they already report the state. But
before that they can say. But most of them are
prude enough not to open their mouths until confirmed because
that could jeopardize everything.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
I think that is great.

Speaker 2 (01:09:37):
Somebody's asking straight of her moves is open on what is?

Speaker 4 (01:09:41):
But it is?

Speaker 6 (01:09:42):
The Iranians claim that twenty three ships passed it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:46):
So it is open now. Wow, Like Christal like Toba
was saying, what are they going to do to keep
a shut down?

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
I mean, I don't know what they're going to shut
a week?

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
So somebody here wants to know what can I do
as a non voter until I actualized to help with
the voting to participate in this so help get the
word out, would be.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
Waking to get candidates as a non citizen. You can campaign,
that's perfect illegal for candidates. You can volunteer your time
for candidates. Yeah, you can get involved, you can be
a fundraiser, you can do all kinds of things. You
just can't vote.

Speaker 6 (01:10:16):
That's the only thing you're allowed.

Speaker 3 (01:10:17):
To, right, And this is a good way to learn
our political system. At the same time, learn who the
candidates are, and at the same time get your name
out there if you ever want to run for office.
When once you become a citizen down the road? Who knows?

Speaker 4 (01:10:30):
So are you guys going to get it on the
new initial public offering? Are you're excited about SpaceX filing? No?
When is this going to go?

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
A lot going on here?

Speaker 4 (01:10:41):
SpaceX revealed the revenue for the first time ever. Last year,
they made eighteen point seven billion in revenue. That's up
a third from the previous year. And they's closed in
the filings that the first three months of this year
revenue rose from four point one to four point seven million. However,
company lost more than four point nine billion dollars compared
to a profit of seven hundred and ninety one million
twenty twenty four. That's because a capital expender is nearly

(01:11:04):
double a twenty billion as they're spending on artificial intelligence development.
But I mean, that's that's a that's a necessary expense
in order to keep this thing going.

Speaker 6 (01:11:11):
So this this.

Speaker 4 (01:11:12):
IPO is going to value the company one point two
five trillion dollars maybe, Oh my goodness, that's crazy. And
it's not going to raise as much money as people
think it is. Because Elon Musk will retain eighty five
percent of the stock. It's going to raise fifty to
seventy five billion in the IPO.

Speaker 6 (01:11:31):
So who's getting in?

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
What was the stock share looking like? How many millions
of dollars do you have to have to invest exactly?

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
How much more is he going to be worth after this?

Speaker 4 (01:11:45):
Oh, he'll be worth over a trillion dollars just just
because of SpaceX IPO.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
A loone, right, Yeah, this is going to put him
over I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:11:51):
If it comes in at one one and a quarter trillion,
he owns eighty five percent of the stock, that means
he's worth eight hundred and fifty billion just on one trillion.
Then he's worth another eighty five one sixty one seventy
d and seventy on top of the eight fifty that's
nine seventy that that's that's a tray of ese. He's
worth a trade dollars just on a space X STOCKXE.
And never mind Tesla and the billions, he's already worth

(01:12:13):
an X and everything else and Starlin Keith guys just
minting money.

Speaker 2 (01:12:19):
If yeah, if you ask Elon Musky says, I don't
know anything, man, I got fifty nine dollars and sixty
two cents of my bank account.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
It sounds a lot like Bernie SAIDs go through person
the way I washed him out in the stick every
evening just to kick.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
Did you also see that former Cuban president Nlton Engeneerian
Raoul Castro has been indicted on murder and conspiracy charges
for shooting down planes back in nineteen ninety six. So
we're not done with the Castros yet.

Speaker 3 (01:12:49):
So so what are you gonna do. They're gonna turn
him over. We're gonna go down and grab him.

Speaker 4 (01:12:53):
Oh, nothing's gonna happen. But Cuba apparently wants to negotiate.
They're terrified we're going to attack, so they want to negotiate.

Speaker 2 (01:12:58):
Now that's the beautiful thing about going into Venezuela, letting
the wrong. They've seen our activity and they go, wait,
just instead of jumping on is, let's talk.

Speaker 4 (01:13:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:13:08):
We we grabbed the Venezuela and president out of his
house middle of the night.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
A reddish operation, I mean, like that one was captured,
you know, unbelievable boom.

Speaker 3 (01:13:23):
I think the only injuries were people falling on the
aircraft carrier or something, right, you know, a sprained ankle
or something on a carrier deck, which happens every night anyway.

Speaker 6 (01:13:31):
Jumping up and down, you know, on the deck.

Speaker 4 (01:13:32):
Yeah, I mean on a carrier deck.

Speaker 3 (01:13:34):
I mean people sprained their ankles at night anyway because
you were walking out there.

Speaker 4 (01:13:37):
You're like, oh crap, yeah earlier where that hurt the
carrier deck?

Speaker 6 (01:13:45):
Yeah, just stub my tail.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
Yeah, so uh Raul Castro, they're not done with him
yet after him, but Cuba is talking about they want
to talk now. And you know, it's funny because I
think John was alluding to it. Interesting thing, one of
the biggest sponsors of terrors was Momar Kadaffi, and Mamar
Kadaffi was the thorn in America's side all the way
up until even though we bombed not out of nineteen
eighty six, all the way until we went into Iraq

(01:14:11):
in two thousand and three, and then he's like, oh crap,
you know what, he he shut up quickly, and now
he shut up and became one of the biggest source
of intelligence and breaking up terrorst That was where he
sold all his terror buddies down the road to the
US intelligence community, and we round about quietly. We we
did operations to take them out or to capture them
all over the planet, all because Kaanafi is like, I

(01:14:33):
don't want the same faith upon me. And the extradition
of Rol and Castro of Nicholas Maduro Is clearly sent
the message to Cuban authorities like, well, we don't want
to be getting that happen to us. You know, have
a little freaking you know NH sixty helicopters showing up,
you know, late at night in whisper mode. Conspiracy theory. Right,

(01:14:55):
it was so cool with that movie, was the conspiracy
theory and the helicopters, you know, silent helic copis can
descend over the city of the zip line out.

Speaker 3 (01:15:04):
Yeah, I can. You know, I can hear Madiro. Now
we must be experiencing some wind. I can hear a
face whisper in the trees.

Speaker 4 (01:15:13):
Yeah, exactly, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
The President, come with us. Boom, put this good on.
We got zip tizz Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
No, yeah, I'll never forget that movie, Mel Gibson, The Conspiracy.

Speaker 6 (01:15:22):
Yeah, that's one of the conspiracy theories.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Black color coppers. And when we see black color copis
in whisper mode outside, guys fast roping down to take them.
Pretty funny stuff, right.

Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
Oh, absolutely forred percent. So so Texas has ordered orders
Muslim University in Dallas to shut down because that the
name was was closely related to Texas AM. And in
fact the university was called Texas a M University at Dallas.
Of course they were confusing a lot of people. People
were signing up for classes, uh for the Muslim university

(01:15:53):
not related to Texas A and M. So very sneaky,
I mean talking about never mind, want make the joke,
but very sneaky, very sneaky.

Speaker 2 (01:16:04):
Uh. Yeah, that's We've seen people get arrested by by
uh that's.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
Fraud you know, in my book, I mean or very
closely related.

Speaker 2 (01:16:14):
The feral federal trake, the ftc and stuff like that,
get rested and fined for doing too much as close
to government's insignias and government colors and things like that.
So people think they're doing business with the government. And
so you're saying doing the same sort of thing, kind
of acting somewhere fraudulently using close symbolisms and names so
to confuse people. And but they give no refunds too todd.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
All right, sure for sure, for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
So, so what are some things that are happening up
in New Hampshire that you've been focusing on John, If anything, well.

Speaker 2 (01:16:48):
I need to be focusing more definitely. I'm just getting
into whe I'm starting to look at some of these
candidates and stuff. I want to start researching some of
these candidates to see who's who, what's what, and how
will I align with them? Right, I'm just kidding out.
We are Our primary is until September, so I got
a little bit of time to take some time and
look things.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
Up there you go, so right, so what what? What's
What's what's going on main street? Somebody doing some donuts?
So that's what I'm hearing, right.

Speaker 2 (01:17:22):
Yeah, that's what I think it is. Hey, you know,
we haven't had the horn honk in a long time.
You've got to It's not that active today, but you
should come by, right Yeah, if you're driving by and
you hear the show, definitely honked the horn.

Speaker 3 (01:17:37):
Right, absolutely. Yeah. I reading read a few articles here
about about Tubberville and of course that his victory, like
just I guess the Trump touch was the golden touchdown there, right.

Speaker 4 (01:17:49):
Or will be?

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
I guess for him.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:17:54):
Now, with Tubberville. Trump endorsement.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
Just that's it. Oh, Trump endorsement. He's a Trump ally.
People are gonna, you know, they love Toma. He's a
legend and that that guy's like I used to coach Nebraska.
The guy's a legend.

Speaker 6 (01:18:07):
He can get away with anything you wanted, right, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
Unfortunately legends don't always get away with everything. Look what
they did to Joe Pop Paterno, Joe pat They tarnished
his reputation because that creep that was on his staff,
and they blamed him.

Speaker 6 (01:18:18):
Penn State took no responsibility.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
For their own ignorance and ignoring that situation, allowing to
continue for years with the sexual abuse of Penn State players.
You know, it's, uh, it's a disgrace what they did
Joe Paterno. But I mean he had some enemies and
they came after him. But what a great reputation. What
incredible football coach too.

Speaker 3 (01:18:37):
Right, Yeah, I watched the the the HBO, I think
many mini series about that. It was kind of kind
of interesting. Uh And of course, yeah, like you said,
they just they blindsided him for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:18:49):
Oh absolutely, you know it's a shame. Turner was an
incredible coach. But Uh, you know, his legacy now is
mixed because of penn State's failure to back him up
when they were if anybody's complicit, it was them.

Speaker 6 (01:19:01):
Yeah, he died from lung cancer. That's a tough way
to go.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
Yeah, oh, absolutely for sure. Yeah. So what are some
things you've been focused on there, colonel and pa and
anything as in particular outside of the elections.

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
No, we are going to see Stacy Garrity, the state treasurer,
run against Josh Shapiro in the fall. He's running for
governor again, and what a graceful governor he has been.
I will see if Stacey Garrity can pick up the votes,
but I don't think she's going to, just knowing Pennsylvania,
because they'll probably a heavy turnout in the Democratic leaning
Philadelphia Pittsburgh Metropolitanians, which will carry him to victory and

(01:19:36):
maybe even Harrisburg. But this is a man who failed
to hold the rule of law as the Attorney General
of Pennsylvania, who participated in the election for aud that
took place, who participated in the COVID scamp fraud that
took place under his predecessor.

Speaker 6 (01:19:49):
Tom Wolfe.

Speaker 4 (01:19:50):
He doesn't deserve to be governor and they actually talk
about him as potential candidate to be president for Democratic Party.
And I hope the Democrats do put him up because
he can't win. And the reason he's not going to
win is has don't bearing on me. I would vote
for him, but he's Jewish and Eric's not going to
lect the Jewish president. It's not going to happen anytime soon.
They're probably elect a Muslim present before they elected Jewish president.

(01:20:12):
The way things are going, right.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
Yeah, I would imagine, But yeah, I would imagine. You're
right the way things go so shifting gears real quick
to South Africa, the refugees, anything, any new updates or anything,
any new stories that are out there.

Speaker 4 (01:20:26):
Or any thoughts, Well, I'll use your favorite word, absolutely
right good, so absolutely. On Monday, the Trump Administration's State
Department sent Congress and notification that they're going to increase
the cap, which was set last September at seven thousand,
five hundred for the planet, seven thousand reserved for South Africans,

(01:20:47):
five hundred for rest the world. They're going to increase
that by ten thousand for the rest of his year.
If that's the case, that means as many as two thousand,
five hundred South Africans on average would come here every
month until the end of September. That will be a
significant increase. The highest monthly that so far is just
over one thy five hundred, so that's a sniffet increase.
Whatever case is is going to put a lot of
pressure in South Africa because a major human capital flight

(01:21:08):
is underway, and not just the REFTUY program, but eighty
South Africans leave the country every day just to their
own a corps just abandon South Africa and it's become
more racial and more racist as the days go by,
and so the push factor is getting even stronger, even
though a lot of Southricans don't want to admit it
or even recognize it. But Trump has opened the door
and by the end of this year we have as
many as seventeen thousand South Africans plus threeout thirty five

(01:21:32):
came last year.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
It's off to an interesting start.

Speaker 4 (01:21:35):
But a lot of people are waiting to come over
here in that program, a lot tens of thousands.

Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
Right, amazing, So shifting gears here. Johnny Joey Jones from
you know, Fox News Famer of course, Marine Corps staff
Sergeant re enlisted Pete Hegk's as Secretary of War doing
the duty there at the Pentagon. The last job I
had in uniform, My job was to get to get better. Uh,

(01:22:00):
it was to heal. It's a very selfish thing. My
job was to heal. The Marine Corps paid me to
get better, and then I retired. And there's nothing wrong
with that, but it was unfinished business, Jones said at
the ceremony. And of course he he obviously had his
legs blown off, amongst other things while serving his country
during the Global War on Terrorism. And of course now
he's back one hundred percent. I mean, obviously he has

(01:22:23):
wounds from war, but he has a lot to offer.
What are your thoughts on him going back into the
Marines in the condition without without the legs, and of course, uh,
you know, with with it, with his background. I'm just
what are your thoughts, Colminal, with his fame, et cetera.

Speaker 6 (01:22:36):
You think it's gonna be a distraction.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
So he's he's rejoined, he's left Fox News, he's joined
the military.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Yeah, it appears he's rejoined the Marine Corp. I don't
know if he's reserves or anything like that, but says
he re enlisted to the Marines. Do you think his
fame would be a distraction or anything like that or.

Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
Well, sure, but we've we've had people with fame and
Elvis Presley was in the army, so we've had people
with training the military before. We also had the guy
played for the Arizona Cardinals that was was was shot
by friendly fire and died in Afghanistan. What's his name,
I can't do on the top of my head, the cornerback. Yes,
So we've had famous people who serve in the military. For
I think that's an issue. I think the other issue

(01:23:13):
is has no lakes, I mean physical compairment. They they
can make exceptions for that, but I mean, that's that's
an unusual situation to me. It's I mean, I'm not
I don't want to comment and sound disrespectful. It sounds
like a publicity stunt.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
Okay, interesting, Yeah, I'm just curious. When I first saw it,
I was like, what's going on here? Unless he's he
is going to do some sort of recruiting duty or
something like that, which would be interesting. He has he
has fame and popularity and a following which could help,
you know, in a recruiting capacity.

Speaker 2 (01:23:42):
I said they got desk jobs and rite stuff in
the military, right, I mean it's not restricted to.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah, So so Trump whenever he just returned
from China a few days ago. What are your thoughts, colonel,
anything that he moved the needle over there on trade,
anything security wise, etc. What was your assessment on on
Trump's return of the US.

Speaker 4 (01:24:07):
It's tough to get to read on it because it
really lacked a public press conference on that end, and
when he returned really didn't focus on He just let
things down to social media, and he wasn't too forthcoming
on what he let out. I'm not sure what to
make of it other than say that it seems like
it went well, but I don't know what was said
behind closed doors. And also, the way Trump is trolling

(01:24:28):
about you abandoning Taiwan is quite distressing.

Speaker 6 (01:24:30):
I hope it's just Trump, you know, trolling like he usually.

Speaker 4 (01:24:33):
Does, and he's not serious about it, because this is
not a game that we need to play. Letting the
Chinese take over Taiwan would be a devastating blow to
international security and would give the Chinese communists a foothold
even further out into the Pacific, which they don't currently
possess by granting them ports all the way out there
on the island of Formosa.

Speaker 6 (01:24:50):
So I hope that doesn't happen.

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):
Beyond that, Trump anounced seventeen billion and buying farm products.
Whoop de doo. That's not that big a deal, he claims,
is a rare, a rare earth element deal that they've
talked about. I haven't seen any update on that, so
I'm not really sure what we got out of it.
But it was necessary and it will be necessary for
shooting pain to come here, you know, to kind of
calm the markets. But until the Chinese stopped their espionage

(01:25:13):
and their copyright theft and their trademark violations, and their
spying on America and their quotas and tariffs on our products,
we're not going to get anywhere. And we shouldn't tolerate
their abusive behavior in the South China Sea and against
their neighbors of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and
the Philippines.

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
We need to deal with China decisively.

Speaker 4 (01:25:33):
Allowing them to become this powerful has been a mistake
of Bill Clinton and Congress George Bush and Congress, Barack
Obama and Congress, Donald Trump and Congress, and Joe Biden
and Congress, and somebody has to stop this nonsense.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
You know, he only took like eighteen eighteen man entourage
to China with them, all corporate heads, including he.

Speaker 6 (01:25:57):
Took a staff too.

Speaker 3 (01:26:00):
Yeah, he had a big staff, and of course Secretary
of State was with him as well. I think I
don't think the sect was with him, but the Secretary
of State was with him for sure. Because they had
a lot of different meetings going on. With with sex,
Secretary of State and the President, you know, we're kind
of hitting a lot of a lot of different lot
of rooms. As from what I heard, I.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
Think they were trying to hit on a lot of
economic discussions and stuff to see that they can sort out.
I think that's where they were going with it. Maybe
trying to get some leaf of the tariffs. And I
mean that was Trump's biggest ideal, right was to raise
terroriffs to draw businesses back to the United States. So
he's probably trying to seek balance. And I mean, like
Chris said, he didn't come out and specifically say anything

(01:26:37):
for us to know, but speculatively speaking, it sounds like
that was a primary focus.

Speaker 3 (01:26:43):
Right anyway, Absolutely, So, what are some what are some
things that have been going on we haven't talked about
we haven't you know, we have been we haven't been
on the air since last week. What are some things
that maybe you guys want to talk about that that
are that are that are veteress to you that we
haven't touched on this thus far?

Speaker 4 (01:26:59):
Well, even Colbert is leaving the Late Show. Yeah, I
think that's a really good development. I hope that he
disappears somewhere in the quiet recess. This is some East La,
you know, hubble, and good riddance to the scumbag. He's
always been a scumbag. He's actually doing his his farewell tour,
as I prefer to call this policy tour for being
a lying piece of crap. He's like, maybe I went

(01:27:21):
too far left?

Speaker 2 (01:27:22):
You think you think, yeah, he actually question that or
was it being kind of a wise guy?

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
What's that?

Speaker 2 (01:27:30):
Was he actually questioning that or was he just being
a wise guy?

Speaker 4 (01:27:34):
No? I think he was actually thinking saying, you know,
it's a moment of actual reflection for once in that
ding ding dong's head. So you maybe have gone too far? Yeah,
you've gone too far. One of the viewers said that
Charles Bronson is the only actor serving on it. Well,
that's not actually true. Jimmy Stewart was a general. He's
serving on list. There's a long list of actors who
served in uniform who serve very honorably and also athletes

(01:27:56):
to Rocky Blyyer served in Vietnam, have part of his foot,
you know, blown off, and he came back and played
professionally in the National Football League for the Steelers. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
You got a lot of people came out of World
War Two and got into acting. I mean Captain King Garoff,
get his name.

Speaker 4 (01:28:09):
Oh yeah, yeah. But that's different than people who are
already actors and went into you. Jimmy Steart was already
an actor. He was an aviator. He wound up being
a two star general by the O one one or
two star general by the time it's all over right.

Speaker 3 (01:28:22):
So the uss NMEUS looked like it's going to deploy
the Caribbean. Uh, it comes under the Cuban tensions of surge.
What are you what are your thoughts on on the
carrier group going down there to near Cuba.

Speaker 4 (01:28:34):
Well, I think that it's back to the point that
Cubans now want to negotiate, right, Why don't negotiate because
they're terrified we're going to invade? And why because we
went after Nicholas Madurero. Nothing is off the maps, you know,
nothing or nothing is off the table.

Speaker 6 (01:28:49):
So he was a brigadier general.

Speaker 4 (01:28:50):
Sorry Jimmy Starters double checking. Yeah, it was the two Stars. Yeah,
and he and he fought in Europe. He flew and
they didn't want to fly, but he did. Yeah. So
there are plenty of guys there. But he was already
an actor when he joined the military. And he commanded
the seven to third bombardment Squadron in the second and
he also was in Vietnam, also fought Vietnam. People forget
that he was a reserve component after the war. Yeah,
Jimmy Stewart, what a guy. What a guy went to

(01:29:13):
Princeton of all places. I had a very British name,
James Maitland Stewart.

Speaker 3 (01:29:20):
Christmas movie House.

Speaker 4 (01:29:21):
Yeah, and he was from Pennsylvania, that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Yeah. So do you think Cuba could could you know,
and maybe our lifetime, you know, actually become free, have elections,
have trade with the US. I don't know, maybe become
a territory again. We'll see. It was maybe the pathway
for Cuba and the people there that have suffered for
decades upon decades. What can we all?

Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
We can hope that the Communists go, but I wouldn't
hold my breath on that. If the Communists go, Cuba
will flourish. People. Look, everybody forgets Cuba will the joint
In the nineteen forties and fifties, that's where people went.
That was the high life. The casinos, the card games,
the beaches, that bro I mean, the ladies, you know,
all that stuff that was.

Speaker 3 (01:30:11):
That was the place to go.

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
It's kind of like big root up through the seventies
was the playground of the wealthy and the famous and
the rich in the Eastern Mediterranean. And then of course
the Muslims ruined it with their terrorism there and to
destroy what was a Christian country largely turned into a
Muslim enclam now overwhelmingly No, it's the same thing in Cuba.
If the Qube Communists go, that country will Here's one

(01:30:36):
thing that's gonna happen. I'll tell you this much.

Speaker 6 (01:30:37):
When the Communists are gone, the United.

Speaker 4 (01:30:40):
States will have cargo ship after cargo ship buying nineteen
fifty seven Chevies and all the vehicles that are in
the streets of Cuba America. They'll get them for a
song and refurbish them because they're already operational. And we
will have fleets of nineteen fifties muscle cars on the
roads of America and collectors will pay tens of thousands
of dollars.

Speaker 6 (01:31:00):
I guarantee that will happen.

Speaker 3 (01:31:02):
Yeah, absolutely, any cash down there for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:31:08):
Used to be a hot spot that QB used to
be a hotspot for for tourism, United States tourism and
stuff that. Okay, that was a landing spot for Americans
for the longest time.

Speaker 4 (01:31:19):
Until I'm talking about Yeah, yeah, that was the joint.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Somebody's asking what will happen when the US hits h
it's debt ceiling and the bubble burst on AI? Do
you think the bubble will actually burst on AI? I mean,
I was contemplating on myself. There's a bubble with AI.
Is it going to be like any other kind of bubble?
We're going to have a collapse. But I don't think
that's how AI is going to work.

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
Well, yeah, everything you know, with people respecting them, there's
no bubble in AI right now is actually under investment.
AI in my view, a I could stand to have
trillions of dollars turn at it before it starts to
become a bubble. No, it's we're not seeing crazy evaluations
yet in these companies, not like the nineteen nineties late
nineteen nineties the Internet bubble.

Speaker 6 (01:32:04):
All we got ten thousand clicks.

Speaker 4 (01:32:06):
Yeah, but you're not making any money.

Speaker 6 (01:32:07):
Yeah we got clicks, right.

Speaker 4 (01:32:09):
Yeah. That's the difference in AI is it's actually making
money already. What bubble is at a purse. This is
an industry that almost from day one was making money.
They're allegate is making money.

Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
They're claiming these these anthropic and XAI and stuff like
that aren't actually making money now because they're investing so
much in the development of AA, because they're trying to
get into AGI. They're also, you know, people aware of
it or not, they're creating a parallel Internet for AI,
so they'll have Agi Internet and stuff like that so

(01:32:41):
it can more efficiently serve the Internet for things that
you're you know, task you're putting it to. So they
are investing a lot of money at the time, and
I think the projecting this That's what I was talking
about last week is I think the projecting that they
may start seeing profits right around twenty thirty. Twenty thirty
seems to be like a mark, you know, like some
sort of a milestone or something. For a lot of reasons.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
There's no reason for twenty thirty to be.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
The event horizon for this. It's already happening.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
Suno has getting millions of people to sign up to
create artificial intelligence music and they're making a fortune off
of it. They're generating tons of revenue, tons of revenue,
and they had a very good business model and it's
going very very well, and it's gotten better and better,
which is attracted more and more people Google. I don't
know how much the money they're making, but they're charging
if you want to make these AI videos, and they

(01:33:30):
have incredible power to do that through Gemini.

Speaker 6 (01:33:32):
But the problem with that is you have to pay them.

Speaker 4 (01:33:34):
And they're woke. So that's why I don't pay them.
I mean, you know, it's a ridiculous. When I try
to make a song with my lyrics, they won't do
it because, oh, that's a little too sensitive. Well, then
I don't need you. Let me go to chat GPT.
So look, I mean, there are capital expenditures in Alays,
but that's an investment in the future of the company.
You have to build a bridge for people to go

(01:33:55):
across in order to collect the toll. If you don't
build a bridge, you can't collect the toll less.

Speaker 6 (01:34:00):
Of course, you're going to do by boating.

Speaker 4 (01:34:01):
It's much much less efficient and slower and more costly
and unreliable.

Speaker 6 (01:34:04):
And you know, if you have a flood, then your boat.

Speaker 4 (01:34:06):
Goes down the river, but if you have a bridge
just to drive across it. My point is that there's
money already being made, billions and billions and billions of
dollars already be made profitably in the AI area. But
there's billions and billions and billions being invested. There's huge
capital capex, capital expenditures. They're taking place. That's just the
nature of things. So I wouldn't worry about it. You know,
if it's someth people want to get involved to take

(01:34:26):
a look at it. But I am serious about space
xx IPO. When it comes out, I won't be able
to afford it, but I'll wait to see if it
drops the reasonable price, and then if it does, I'm
gonna snatch up a share too, right?

Speaker 2 (01:34:37):
Is there is there a way to get into that,
like group sharing or something. I forgot what it's called,
where you invest with a group of people, a mutual fund.
I guess it is. I'm not big an investment, as
you can tell. But yeah, there's a lot of investments
where you have to have certain amount of funds before
you can get in that. There was some all movie

(01:34:57):
producers and stuff. I was looking at you quite time ago,
where oh, that'd be interesting. I realized how much you
had to invest be to get in so and realize, Nope,
that's not for me. Evidently I'm not that well off.
I don't have that kind of capital.

Speaker 4 (01:35:13):
So here you go, once again with people in the comments,
the same sort of silly red herring and canard. It's
been tossed out there. Oh it'll cost jobs jobs or
Liz now AI is creating jobs. You know, listen, you
try the I's got to get with reality here. The
buggy whip makers can be upset all they want, but
nobody is buying buggies and attaching horses to the rapp

(01:35:34):
all over the city streets of New York and London anymore.
That thing has been done away with. You got to
keep up with the times. And oh, by the way,
tens and hundreds of millions of jobs are created by
the automotive industry over the century plus that it's been
in business. And so I don't think the buggy whip
manufacturers are missed.

Speaker 2 (01:35:49):
And I think you can probably get a little bit
more sympathetic with some of these people because they are
talking about robotics now. They're talking about robotics and manufacturing
places replacing humans already happened. It's been going on for
forty years, right, yes, yeah, No, I'm talking about mask
production now.

Speaker 4 (01:36:09):
Con Japanese have virtually no people working in the factory
floor robots to do.

Speaker 2 (01:36:12):
We're talking about the United States here, and what I'm
trying to say.

Speaker 4 (01:36:16):
General, Notice that's the same things. I'm not going to.

Speaker 2 (01:36:18):
Finish this I can see.

Speaker 4 (01:36:19):
Go ahead, ahead, go ahead, you want my sympathy, go ahead,
go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:36:23):
No, I'm just telling you there are more things going on,
and you're being kind of rude to people about it.

Speaker 4 (01:36:28):
Okay, fine, I disagree with them.

Speaker 2 (01:36:32):
I got I have a caller. No, I'm kidding, But
there are a lot of people with a lot of concerns.
There are a lot of working class people out here.
I'm a truck driver and they're talking about replacing truck
drivers with autonomous trucks. They what they say they're going
to do. So you know what their answer to it is, Well,
we got UBI is an option. Universal basic income means

(01:36:54):
basic income an option, not universal higher income. You're a
universal basic income.

Speaker 4 (01:37:00):
Yeah, that's communism. Why would't you think I'm being favorite?

Speaker 2 (01:37:03):
I want to be in favor of that either. The
point is this is the this is some of the
options they've thrown out there. I've talked to what was
his name, Andrew, because.

Speaker 4 (01:37:11):
Those people are idiots.

Speaker 3 (01:37:13):
Andrew, Guys, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
A lot in there in front of this guy who
says math matters, and he's said, well, we do have
the option of you universal bas We'll just charge the
text to the corporations, and then the corporate we can
pay you a universal basic income for not being able
to work. It's like, dude, nobody wants that kind of indignity.

Speaker 3 (01:37:29):
Nobody.

Speaker 2 (01:37:30):
And secondly, corporations don't want to pay a tax for
you to not work. So how long do you think
that's gonna last. There are things that people have genuine
concerns about and I think some people, you know, when
you're doing this sort of stuff, we should be taking
their concerns more seriously.

Speaker 4 (01:37:45):
I think maybe these people should start listening to me,
because I'm right about this. We heard the same nonsense
in the nineteen nineties about the Internet. The Internet has
created tens of millions of jobs, and most of them
well paid jobs. It's also created tens of millions of
blue collar jobs. All these damn Amazons drivers driving around
neighborhood dropping practice packages off every five minutes didn't exist
ten years ago. It exists five years ago. And all

(01:38:06):
these people are in these warehouses and all these people
working building the software that didn't exist. Those jobs are created.
People learned the skills for that, they retooled and went
to different industries.

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
And Amazon is laying people off as we speak.

Speaker 4 (01:38:17):
Everybody's laying people off all the time. Companies are always laying.

Speaker 2 (01:38:20):
People because the company is always because of autonomy.

Speaker 4 (01:38:25):
All right, John, Look, if people think because I'm telling
the truth and they don't want to hear the truth,
that I'm being rude to them, then I can't help
that issue. I'm just telling people the truth. This is
the reality. Does that mean everybody's going to survive? Make
a million dollars now? But the reality is that job.
Otherwise the entire world would have collapsed by now. Every advancement.
Oh my god, people are going to live longer. What
are going to do now? That won't be any food
because they're all living longer. Green Revolution came along.

Speaker 2 (01:38:47):
I haven't heard a valid solution yet for a displacement
in the workplace. I have not heard a valid solution yet.
I've heard UBI, I've heard retooling.

Speaker 4 (01:38:57):
I haven't heard a valid displacement in the workforce. Where
where's this this placement? I haven't heard it yet. I
haven't seen it. Where's it at?

Speaker 2 (01:39:04):
I just told you the lame people from Amazon. People
are being replaced with AI and jobs.

Speaker 4 (01:39:07):
Four percent unemployment in the nationwide, eight million jobs unfulfilled.

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
Yeah, I could see where, John, where people can't have it,
you know, an issue if you will, or concerned. But
at the same time that the colonel you know is
pointing out, you know, historical markers of you know, people
are always saying that you know this is going to
end this, you know, like you said, the Internet bubble,
it's going to do this and this, Like you said,
it created all sorts of jobs and created I mean,
the way we can sit here and connect tonight and

(01:39:33):
have this this, this radio show. You know, as a
result of all these things, I'm not saying yeah, but
I can think where people can have concern. But at
the same time, at the same look look at history
and where it's actually pointed to the fact that you know,
new technologies creates more opportunities, generally.

Speaker 4 (01:39:52):
Improves the quality of life. Right, people live longer and better.

Speaker 3 (01:39:56):
Right, the fact we can get all fat and this
around watch TV. I don't know it's the good life.

Speaker 2 (01:40:05):
I have no idea, but I know there's a lot
of human beings out there very concerned about their future,
not certain where to go. I know there's a lot
of young people out there, so we are very well
concerned about where am I going to get educated?

Speaker 4 (01:40:14):
What are they doing about their future that are they
sitting around moaning about it? Are they taking the bull
by the horns and taking responsibility for their future?

Speaker 2 (01:40:21):
I'm not sure what they're doing. I mean, so I
do hear it. I do hear from people that they're concerned.
I do hear from other shows and stuff that there
are young people talking about. You know, what do I
do in my future? How do I plan for my future?
What kind of future do I have with the rising
of technologies? And what the word is out there and
what they're hearing is you don't really have much of
a future because a lot of jobs are going to

(01:40:42):
be sucked up by AI. Now it might be a
lot of just fear porn going out there because a
lot of YouTubers, I just want to get the click
exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
They're not setting any research, they're not setting Robotics are
taking jobs away. The robots have been building cars the
out ofsory since the nineteen eighties. They've been doing the eighties.
And there's still three hundred and fifty thousand people in
the automotive industry in Detroit, in Michigan, in that in
that area alone. Never mind what's going on Ontario. Look,
the bottom line is this. Will people who work in

(01:41:13):
manual labor jobs lose work? Many will, But most people
don't want to be working manual labor jobs. They want
something that's further up the food chain. So it depends
on anyone. Look at this. You know the bottom line
is that this stuff is coming. You can't stop it.
So people being unhappy for people saying I'm rude by
telling people the truth, I'm sorry, you know what, they

(01:41:34):
can't handle the truth. This is the reality. Wake up
and smell the coffee, or get run over by the
semi that's in the wrong lane because work exactly, because
it's an autonomously driven vehicle. Exactly. That's my point. I'm
glad you guys got the point of that joke. In
the wrong lane.

Speaker 3 (01:41:54):
So no, but look, look, people be.

Speaker 4 (01:41:58):
Mad at me all they want. I'm sorry. I don't
be hurt your feelies, but if it hurts your phillies,
then you're not a serious person. This is real, it's happening.
You can't stop it. It's like, look, I don't want
to pick up a previous guest, but he doesn't want
a data center. I appreciate why he doesn't want a
data center there. He's right, it takes a ton of water.
That's gonna be a major profit. But you can't stop
these data centers. They're coming up everywhere, and the places

(01:42:19):
are well watered, they have a butt of electricity, that
have the space. They're going to be there, whether you
like it or not. And that's the reality. That's the future.
And those data centers don't you sit there run all
by themselves, and the skynet isn't running all that stuff.
It isn't like watching you know it. What's the movie
The Fifth Element with Bruce Willison had Gary Gary what's
his name? There. He's sitting in his office and he
breaks the glass. He has all these little machines, you

(01:42:40):
have all got purpose now she look at it, look
clean it all up. Then he chokes on a cherry
and he can't it out. So, yeah, he has the
precise the clear cherry and the skull thing exactly. Yeah,
I think a little oil for the motor oil that
leaks out of his skull, remember that. Yeah, now, Gary, oldman,
that was that was hilarious. Yeah, but this is the reality.

(01:43:01):
The sooner people accept that, come to grips with it
and find a way to survive in the ecosystem, the
better they'll be. That's why people who are paying attention
to AI, and people are paying attention to robotics and genetics.
That's the next frontier. Ten years from now, medisine will
be so much further advanced, will be replacing hips, maybe
you'll simply begin the injection to regrow your cartilage as

(01:43:23):
a consequence of turning on a protein discovered through testing
and using artificial intelligence to figure out which protein would
work in human tissue without giving his cancer. This is
what's coming our life. This is an amazing time to
be alive. Instead of you know, being mad at Colonel
Why because he's telling you the truth. Listen to Colonel White.
He's trying to help you.

Speaker 2 (01:43:41):
Actually you're talking him a quantum computing. When you're talking
about advancements of medications and stuff. They're building quantum computers
that they will be able to do thirty years, thirty
thousand years of research in a matter of months. You know,
they'll'll be able to compete so fast.

Speaker 3 (01:43:55):
Yeah, yeah, any think about this if you like Star Trek,
how those folks you know, live forever, people from the
original series, whereas on the next generation as old guys,
you know what I mean, like because of technology, because
of the advances in science, and then you know it
is amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
Yeah, thanks Tod. I'm gonna be the guy who dies
and the next day go.

Speaker 3 (01:44:15):
Figure red shirt, do not wear a red shirt?

Speaker 4 (01:44:18):
Well, I will tell you this much. I will tell
you this much. The communists shall not win, you little clowns.
At your universal basic income, you can get take a road.
Cuba is calling. Why don't you go there. This is
a real country. We don't play the silly games. And
all these little clowns in Congress that are loving communism,
you're gonna find your life is short in Congress.

Speaker 2 (01:44:35):
I do grind my teeth. I hear you, bi, and
I grind my teeth on that one. I'm like, this
is just that. The whole concept that ubi to me
is ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:44:43):
Look, it's it's like midim wag. It's stupid. When you
raise the minimags, you raise prices. Nobody's better off now
they've gotta pay higher prices for everything. How do they
gain anything? All you do is creat inflation. You've in
pre stuff. The only way ways you should go up
is if you contribute more, if you're more proficient, more efficient,
if your productivity is higher, if your country otherwise you
Wages shouldn't go up because you're just fueling inflation and

(01:45:03):
it's self defeating. But no, we gotta have fifteen dollars
minium wage. No, you're not supposed to be working in
a restaurant at fifty five. You should have developed another
skill by then. All right, guys, all.

Speaker 3 (01:45:12):
Right, folks. We'll be back next week at seven to
nine Eastern right here on WSN fifty ninety AM ninety
five point three FM. Until then, take care, God bless
