Speaker 1 (00:00):
We'll check in on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com
phone line at about ten minutes after eight o'clock. Look
who it is. It's our old pal, it's our buddy.
It's Terry Shilling from the American Principles Project dot org. Terry,
how are you? Man?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hey? Thanks so much for having me. I cannot believe
how fast summers flying by. I hate it.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
So I got to ask you last count you have
unless something's drastically changed, Terry, You've got seven kids. How
how do you and your wife deal with all seven
kids during the summer when I mean typically I would
imagine at least four or five of those are school
age kids, right, So how do you deal with seven
kids at home all summer?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Well, we just kick them out of the house. Right,
We've got we've got a pool about a block and
a half down the street, We've got a great neighborhood
with a ravine and a you know, a whole forest.
We just kicked them the heck out of the house,
and they do a pretty good job of staying out good.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, that's and that's kind of the and that's kind
of the childhood that I would imagine you had, and
that I had is just get outside, you know, check in,
you know, before the sun goes down for dinner, and
we're good.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's that's life, right, I mean,
that's that's what you're living for. Everything. That's freedom and
that that ability to just have fun, do whatever you want.
You know, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
A couple of things I wanted to check in with
you on and we'll talk about, you know, some of
the big beautiful bill and I want to talk about
this Democrat candidate for mayor in New York City coming
up here in a minute. But you got to be
thrilled with a couple of these Supreme Court decisions that
came down on Friday, one of them about ten days ago,
all having to do with protecting our kids.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You know.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
One of them is upholds parents' rights to opt kids
out from sexually explicit classroom instruction, protecting kids from online pornography,
protecting kids from going undergoing transgender procedures. So these are
all kind of kind of linked up and just kind
of keeping our kids safe and letting kids be kids.
(02:03):
Talk about some of these Supreme Court decisions that came down.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well, Mike, you're exactly right, I've been telling people that
the American family is three and zher on this latest
Supreme Court term, and you have the scrematic case that
came out the week before last that allows states to
protect children from whoever would have thought this sex change procedures. Right,
that's the predatory industry. That's a big deal. Parents have
(02:27):
been losing custody over the issue, by the way, so
we can now protect kids from that stuff. That my
mood versus Taylor means parents can protect their kids from
this explicit content that they've been pushing in schools. It's
really inappropriate even for adults, I think. But the coolest
one I think, Mike, is this free speech coalition versus Paxton.
(02:48):
We've been working so hard to get the Internet up
to speed, and now the Supreme Court has holed upheld
age verification for adult websites is constitutional. It's all coming together,
all been part of the plan. Well.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I don't know how much you've been involved in some
of these in getting the message out there, but congratulations,
because this is exactly the kind of thing that the
American Principles Project dot org stands for. Correct.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
No, that's exactly exactly right. We are the NRA. But
for family, the NRA does guns in the Second Endment,
and we do pntal rights and instance of children, and
we invest in elections in politics and make sure people
have good pro family members of Congress and representatives in
the halls of power, election and politics.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I'm sure you've been watching this situation in New York
City with the Democrat candidate for mayor, self proclaimed socialist Zorron. Mom, Donnie,
did you see what he said over the weekend. He
plans to target what he calls rich white neighborhoods and
hitting them with higher taxes, higher property taxes, and he
(03:51):
also says that billionaires should not exist. I mean, this
guy is a piece of work, Yes, he is.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
In Look, the bad thing about elections are the good
thing I think it's usually the good thing is people
tend to get what they deserve. You know that they
get who they allowed to take into power. And the
thing is we can stop Zoran. Yeah. What a lot
of people don't realize is that New York City elections
are very low turnout. They don't really care about elections
(04:22):
very much up there. So we got to just excuse me,
I'm going to make sure that we get everyone, and
we can to the polls. Otherwise this guy's going to
read real havoc on New York City.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, and you know, so you were sitting here in Columbus, Ohio, Terry,
and you know, people are going, well, what do I care?
You know, let them do what they are going to
do it. I think it's important that you know, with
New York City being the really the heartbeat of the
global economy, I mean, that's what happens in New York
City does have an effect on everywhere else in this country.
(04:55):
I mean, at least I think so. I mean, people
should be paying attention to this in Columbus and elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
No, I agree with that. And the nature of elections
is that they're kind of like grass fires, right, they
can catch on very quickly and then you can create
some momentum. And I wouldn't I wouldn't think, you know,
if zorn Mom Donnie wins in this election New York,
I would not put that as the only election that
the socialists or communists will start winning. They'll start winning
(05:23):
a lot more because the nature of the stuff, it's
all about momentum, all about building up w's and if
you can keep those going you'll keep going.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, that's a great point that he you know, they
can kind of create this blueprint for other socialists. And again,
this guy, it makes no bones about being a socialist,
and he's saying billionaires shouldn't exist. See that's I don't understand.
Shouldn't everyone strive to be a billionaire? I mean that's
isn't that a goal or at least a millionaire? I mean,
that's you should want to do. You should want to
(05:55):
be a high achiever in life. But you know these guys,
they don't want that. They want everyone to be you know,
poor and broke and relying on the government.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
No, that's right. And the reality is is that just
because someone wasn't able to be successful they had government
programs keeping them from becoming more financially successful, it doesn't
mean that everyone else that's poor is going to be
better off. Right. This is the reality is that being
a billionaire today, like you've got a lot of investments,
you've got a lot of people writing on you, a
(06:25):
lot of it's not liquid. You know, you're not just
living this easy life. You know, life gets tougher the
higher up you you rank, and you know that's just reality.
But these guys aren't living in reality.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I've heard the term more money, more problems. It
might have been a song at one point too. I
don't know. Speaking with Terry Showing from the American Principles
Project dot org, how closely you been following the all
the the stuff that's going on in the Senate with
a big, beautiful bill.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Pretty closely this weekend. It's been a nail bier, But
you know, it looks like we're about over the fit line.
We got some amendments coming up here pretty soon. I
think President Trump's going to get this thing over the
finish line.
We'll check in on the Legacy Retirement Group dot com
