Speaker 1 (00:03):
A lot going on in the world in the United States. General, Sorry,
I didn't mean to alarm you. Did you not know
where we were going live right now? No?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I thought I was.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Excuse me, I'm still dealing with this chess called there's
something going around, or there's something going around. I don't know,
it's just allergies or what. But hopefully the voice can
keep up. We couldn't put a show out last week
from this bug, whatever this thing is. But General, I
(00:35):
don't know if I told you, But last weekend I
went up to Toronto. Okay, I went up to Canada.
Now I didn't go up to keep an eye on
their elections, but I went up to America's what America's
hat like a smoker? Yeah, not so much. I was shocked.
(00:55):
So I went up with the to go visit a buddy.
Three of us will to go see a buddy up
there who actually is has a pretty big job in
the automotive industry. And we talked about the tariffs, and
you know how the companies are doing what they can
to minimize the cost impact of the tariffs. But what
(01:16):
have you been to Toronto before?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I've not. I've only been into Canada I think twice.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
When you think Toronto, When I say Toronto, Canada, what
do you think.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Of Well, I always had the misconception that Toronto was
on the west coast. It's actually much closer to Ohio.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Sure, yeah, it's just it's it's several hours north of
you know, northeast of Detroit. But do you have an
image the blue jays, the blue jays, the maple leafs.
It's like, uh, I'm going to walk in and see
lumberjacks and flannels and you know, the mounted police. Right
(01:53):
it is. I'm not sure what happened, but it is
all Indian, in Asian and very few, very very I mean,
you feel like you're in a different country, a different
a different part of the world, a different side of
the world. I'm not sure what happened. So I had
(02:15):
to talk to my Uber drivers who were Indian, one Afghan,
and the older the older drivers, the older men, the
men that have been there longer, are very, very unhappy
with Trudeau's government, which now there's an extension of Trudeau's
government with Carney. But the people that have been there
(02:37):
for twenty twenty five thirty years are not happy. And
I'm not talking about the Canadians that you think of
that being you know, Caucasian, white European English settlers, French settlers.
They are very unhappy because there's a way to buy
(02:59):
CITs and ship in Canada. So if you have if
you're looking to invest your money in the West, and
you're from the East or the Near East or India,
you can buy property, buy real estate, become a landlord,
and then you put your your kid goes there, if
(03:19):
your kids going to the University of Toronto, and and
so these universities become magnets for global power, apartment, global money.
You can if you have a limited number of seats
at your university and you're going to try to maximize
(03:40):
the profit at your university, do you want to sell
those seats to your in state students at your substantially
reduced yet fair tuition or are you going to sell
them to the highest bidder and you get to foreign studentssolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's what's happening in Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So the foreign students come in and there is a
influx of real estate purchases. Because now you can vote,
you've become a citizen, and as a result, your government
winds up turning in favor of the nations of which
are sending them.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Still tracking that they're trying to escape from You mean.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I don't know if they're trying to Yeah, I mean whatever,
I mean, are you trying to escape India? I've never
been there. I've got friends that have been to India.
They say wonderful things about the country. I'm sure there
are parts of Afghanistan that are beautiful, you know, but
Japan and China, these other parts of the other parts
of the world are there is a strategic investment purpose
(04:48):
to send your college kids to universities in the West
US and Canada, and specifically now talking about Canada, where
once you're there through chain migration, mom and dad, siblings, friends,
they arrive, but you you have your your your assets,
your wealth, and you buy condos or the Russians did
(05:13):
this in a lot of parts of Florida. Down in
down in Florida. There's a lot of Russian oligarch money
that that moved in down there, and they brought in
their money, they bought property, they improved property. You know,
they're and they're not just running convenience stores, but they're
they are in the real estate market. And then they're
they're voting, voting, So I kind of think we need
(05:38):
to kind of keep an eye on what our universities
are doing because the entire complexion of your nation, and
we as conservatives, we are defenders in our nation and
why you want our nation to have UH to be
with the smart immigration, which we're going to talk about
here on the show. But if you want to see
what happens with unfettered migration, you can look at Toronto.
(06:04):
And I talked to my friends who are who living
in Canada and they are absolutely appalled. But not only that,
but the but the first generation migrants that have immigrants
that have been there for several decades, they're appalled by
what's happening as well. And it's causing a spike and
crime drop in commercial real estate values in the cities.
(06:27):
And they re elect Carney, they you know, they re
elect the Trudeau, the Labor Party and Carney. So these
ideas and then once that's in there, how do you
get rid of that? How do you how do you
reverse that course? Well, you need someone like Donald Trump
to come in or pure who who lost UH. And
they're blaming that on Trump.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
They should be blaming it on Pierre.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, I I I was really I was really just
surprised by what I saw up there. General. Speaking of
Donald Trump, he does know that there's a seed olpen
in global power over the Vatican, that's true. And Stephen
Miller not suggested that he throws his wig in the ring.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Well, we've that's been discussed, as we discussed coming up here.
If they do decide to bring trumpell on his pope,
they will release orange smoke.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
This the Conclave, and there's a there's a show. I'm
not sure if can't be seen this or anyone else
has seen this, but there's a show called Conclave, you
know if it's on Prime Netflix. I'm not sure, HBO.
What the the The timing shows out number one right now,
(07:45):
number one trending.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, you know, a pope gets to be eighty eight
years old. You know, it's not that difficult to predict
certain events.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, but the timing was quite It was released just
about a month before the man died. The pope died,
but of course the conc this this secretive meeting of
Catholic cardinals to elect a new pope. I do you
really need to go into a under lock and key
in a conclave. As you said, they've been aware for
(08:14):
a long time that they need to identify the successor.
Shouldn't that person already kind of be identified like.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
A vice pope. Well, it's just any thoughts on that. Yeah,
it's not the way they do it, but I'm sure
that there is preparation for this sort of a thing.
But then they have to go through a period of
time where they get the person they want.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, it seems to me, being the cynic that I am,
that you know they probably already know. It's just a
matter of you know, how long are you going to
go hang out and send smoke signals to the world
Black for no decision, right, black for no decision, White
for a new pope, and orange we send send Donald? Right,
send Donald? Okay, that's fair. After the break, let's do
(08:57):
a quick quick review of Trump's first one hundred day.
It's not getting favor, it's not getting the proper attention
in the in the the media that it needs. So
we want to want to jump into that a little bit.

sports today. I have to talk Shador Sanders and what's

And Human services as a principal vector a principal vector
in this country for child trafficking Under.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Getting he got ribbed for wearing Two trump hats at
the same, time Because i'm used to wearing a lot of.
Hats even my hats wear. Hats did you see? That
that was.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Fantastic you got to.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Watch you got to go watch the. News you're you
got to go Watch you've got to watch history unfold
with your own two eyes and form your own. OPINIONS
i just think you've got To you've got to Have
i'm not using a phrase lived. EXPERIENCE i want to
talk to people with lived. EXPERIENCES i want TO i
(13:45):
want to hear their, opinions like the the the folks
In toronto THAT i talked to last. WEEKEND i don't
WANT i don't think we should be getting our our
news and the backbone of our opinions strictly on what we're,
reading because it's so, pole it's, hearsay it's so. Horder for,
Instance Boston globe ran a story HEADLINED Rfk junior will
(14:09):
order placebo testing for new, vaccines alarming health. EXPERTS i
saw one commentator, say what would we do without alarmed health?
Experts is there any other kind think about? This he's,
like look for, Vaccines. America did you know that we
haven't been doing any placebo testing on these?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
VACCINES i was taught in WHEN i went To Ohio
state that that is a vital portion of the scientific.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Method how can you turn The Boston globe turns a
wonderful scientific fact we're not doing placebo testing on, vaccines
and turn it into all alarmed health? Experts my, criticism all,
right from now, on with limited exceptions like the annual flu.
(14:58):
Shot THE fda requires all, vaccines including those already on the,
schedule to be tested against an inert placebo like pure.
Saline just you, know every other drug except for vaccines
must be tested for success against. Placebo but under long
(15:20):
STANDING fda, regulations vaccines are. Accepted did you know?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
THIS i did not know.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That why would we know?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
This it would have seemed that some very very well
funded lobbyists are coming in there and getting some regulations
written for.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Them not only are vaccines not tested against, placebos according
To Bobby Kennedy. Jr they don't even test for efficacy,
anymore by measuring whether the drug actually reduces the disease
of prevents.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Hospitalizations this is why they did not want him to
be department the head Of health And Human.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Services all, Right so when the truth comes, out the
power powerful forces that have put millions or billions into
the system's, construction and now the system is being. Deconstructed
you can now see where the money is. Going now
(16:14):
it's going the influence is going into the.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Media, well there's an old saying about. This when you fight,
corruption corruption fights.

(18:15):
uh there there IS i saw. ONE i forget who it,

was taking advantage of. Him mmmm uh like he's like
he's an elderly person and being taken it like he's
got on set of. Dimension, OKAY i want to stay on.
(18:37):
SPORTS i do want to talk about Schadenfreude sanders and
uh how the the overall how that plays into culture and.
Politics after the break stick around for the defense of
The american, people The general AND i will get some
we'll get some travel dates to head down to take
The general down To South, florida down To Palm beach

and south, forward especially in the winter. Time is the
meat Market Palm. Beach that'd be m e a t
Market Palm, Beach and you can take. That you can
interpret that restaurant name many different, ways but it is
exactly as it, says all, Right, general The Shadoor. Sanders
(19:48):
while watching that all, HAPPEN i had a range of.
EMOTIONS i was surprised that a range of. Emotions WHILE
i was watching that all. HAPPEN i try not to
engage in. Schadenfreude you, know it's just it's a it's
a human weakness to take delight and the misery of.
Others but it's really kind of hard not to. Freude
(20:09):
shot and Freuda sanders shador. Freude it's really hard not.
To SO i was a little. Surprised PERHAPS i shouldn't be.
Anymore an article From The, Athletic The athletic and the
quote surprising slide Of colorado Quarterback Shudor sanders and finally
taken by The brownies in the fifth round one hundred
(20:29):
and forty fourth overall after being projected as a potential
first round. Pick you know these talking head medias who
were projecting things like election victories and draft. Spots WHAT
i want to know is how much money was Melk heiper?
Paid because Mel kiper had to know what was being
said in the rooms around THE. Nfl and if Mel
(20:52):
kiper didn't know what was being said in the rooms
of THE, nfl the Mel kiper needs to probably just
call it a, day nice career and. Go Johnny carson
lost his, fastball, right so. Disconnect look, general give me
your take real.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Quick, well being a quarterback is all about making good.
Decisions and AS i, recall Mister sanders arrived At colorado
and was getting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year in nil money fine and within six months had
to declare bankruptcy that the. Store, yes that's not a
(21:31):
good decision making. Start what makes a great college quarterback
does not necessarily make a great pro. Quarterback you have
to have all the throws to be a pro. Quarterback
so it is a problem for. Him he clearly doesn't
make good. Choices all.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
RIGHT i don't. KNOW i haven't heard anything ABOUT. S
Georg sanders filing. Bankruptcy but do you think that was
just poor decision? Making you think he just did horribly
on the Wonder. LICK i haven't heard anything about.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That, WELL i haven't heard anything about The Wonder. Lick
but you, know he performed what he barely had a
winning record At colorado and his dad was the, coach all.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Right the article on the athletics suggests more than suggests
That shador's slide wasn't just about, football but intertwined with
cultural and racial. Narratives, okay all, right he has. Confidence
no problem, there everybody whose. QUARTERBACK i got no problems
(22:33):
with that wealth from the nil. DEALS i got no
problems with that wealth from his, dad celebrity status amplified
by REALITY tv. Exposure you, know is this THE nfl
bucking back against entitlement? Mentality there are just.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Too many people in THE nfl who want a good
quarterback for their team and to let him go out of.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Spite all, right they were legitimate football, concerns armed arm, pocket,
presence the judgment issues that you've talked.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
About you can take off running in, college you can't
take off running in the.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Pros how about skipping pre draft? Events? Uh these poor
interviews Apparently dad's overshadowing. Presence? Right are those? Cultural are those?
RACES i don't. Understand how's any of that racial or?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Cultural it doesn't make any.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Sense, Right so He this was not a group of
WHITE nfl team owners saying we need to Keep Shador.
Sanders we need to let him know that we're in,
control and he's.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Not, uh this wasn't Cam ward the very first player,
taken and wasn't he a black?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Quarterback why would why would why would? You why would
you add to your roster anyone Like Shador sanders who
has absolutely no clue how idiotic it is to go
through life with an entitlement. Mentality entitlement. Mentality so What
(24:16):
i'm saying here is what is? Entitlement being entitled means
acting like you deserve special treatment or privileges just because
of who you are without earning. Them it's that vibe
of expecting things to be handed to, you with a
side dish of arrogance or disregard for. Others one of
(24:39):
our favorite, thinkers Doctor Thomas, soul has been talking about
the problem with entitlements in The United states via the welfare,
state and how it would eventually morph into an entitlement
mentality and once you have entitlement mentality amongst your, citizens you're.
Doomed he has been very vocal for. Decades Doctor soul
(25:05):
says that this attitude of entitlement grows in modern welfare,
states comparing it to a sense of dependency not since
the days of, slavery where people feel owed what others.
Produce all, Right so he points Out medicare And Social,
security those are entitlement, programs and those now are off.
(25:32):
Limits what happens is you wind up with extensions of
that welfare, thinking and you create a generation or several
generations of citizens who don't have personal responsibility built into THEIR,
(25:53):
dna it's not built into their. Psyche his concern was
you would eventually have people as the. Norm what you're
saying With Shador, sanders AND i think it's a bigger
problem than Just Sador, sanders the entitlement that you see
(26:16):
in the. Suburbs like in my practice with the there's
been a change in the family systems of the PEOPLE i,
represent the KIDS i represent from you, know your your big,
suburbs and in the. Parents this entitlement mentality is not
just For Shadoor. Sanders it's all over the. Place AND
(26:37):
i think that, TikTok, instagram instant. Gratification we have a
generation of young people that need instant validation and rewards
without necessarily putting into the. Work they've curated these online.
Personas chadors created a much bigger digital. Persona and then
(27:02):
you have the inside that a, subset a rise of
victimhood culture and certain groups are encouraged to see themselves
as owed special treatment or they have grievances against the.
Systems look at college. Debt many Younger americans feel they're
(27:25):
entitled to debt. Forgiveness now you're hearing about universal basic
income because the system's rigged against. Them see What i'm.
Saying so The Shador sanders is, yes that was entitlement
on full. Display but you can trace this back to
(27:47):
if you, want you can take trace this all the
way back to the sixties and seventies where we started
to remove the expectation of you put in the work
and then you get the. Benefits you don't get dessert at.
First you eat your broccoli. First now it's no, Broccoli
give me more. Dessert Should Shad Door sanders is just an.
(28:09):
Example two weeks before, that The tennessee QUARTERBACK i am
a leaving same thing is. Entitled he had a contract
in a four year. Contract after one year breaks the.
Contract wants the contract broken because he's entitled to more.
Money and unless we talk about this and try to
(28:31):
weed it, out there's an instant feedback system that just
keeps perpetuating. THIS i think it's a big, problem a huge,
problem and we do need to continue to talk about
the entitlement mentality that's all Over. America after the, BREAK
i know The general's got. Something what's talk. About we're
going to talk about these ice sweeps and immigration and
(28:54):
the judges that are thwarting it. All Brad, coffel The
general for The defense of The American people six' ten TO.
Be tv, all right so we're talking about we were
going to Talk to general. After break we were going
to talk about ice and these judges and Their the
constitution seems to be thwarting a lot of what the
(29:16):
court seemed to be thwarting a lot Of what trump
administration wants. To do, but This This shador sanders fall
in the draft has really kind of triggered a broader conversation,
about entitlements. Entitled mentality.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And it's also triggered. A correction it was Not Shud
or sanders who. DECLARED bankruptcy i was wrong. About that
it was, His brother shiloh got.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
IT well i think the point is. The, same right
they get hit with a bunch, of money they blow
the money and filed. FOR bankruptcy i don't.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Know, that well a lot of people, do THAT but
i don't know That Shud or sanders.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Did that so being a titled means acting like you
deserve special treatment just because of who, you are or
special privileges just because of who. You are and it's, a,
vibe right and whatever that Vibe Is, shador sanders, many
people we all have. Entitlement mentalities think of something that
(30:16):
you don't get and you. Get disappointed you get disappointed
because you feel entitled. To that we all have various
levels of. Entitlement mentality it's a cultural backlash that is
not should not be. Deemed racial it is a cultural
backlash to a system that we have created In The
(30:40):
united states over the last probably fifty to, sixty years
where entitlements were simply at the, government level they were
designed to welfare to protect those who can't take care,
of themselves or you paid into to a system and
(31:01):
you were entitled to a return On Your social security
that you kind of get. That, entitlement well now you're
getting into having your, school tuition your tuition debt wiped
away that somehow you're entitled to.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
That by those who didn't go, to college.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And many if you want to, call it by. Something
else the modern welfare state has a dependency arm where
people feel they are owed what, others produce.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And you suddenly start getting a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
These entitlement Programs like Medicare And. Social security is. One
Thing what i'm, talking about what we're trying to accomplish
here is explain among the younger generation who have a
tough future and even tougher future if their entitlement mentality
is not put. In check because when you have a
(32:01):
cultural shift and a bigger percentage of your population is
moving Into well i'm owed this, and entitlement, You know
and it's and it's this is not, one race this is.
All races it's not, one religion it's. All religion and
there you have more and more people who feel they
deserve a share of something. Without effort it gets stoked
(32:27):
by politicians because they sell the welfare state to constituency
to get, in power stay. In power it's stoked by
academics push pushing. Social justice this all combined has eroded
personal Responsibility, in america and it has contributed to. Social
(32:48):
problems almost every social problem you. Can find we have,
miseducated elites demanding more while. Producing little, and look if
you want to be, truly free you shouldn't be dependent.
On anybody and IT'S what i tell, my Kids WHAT
michelle i tell. Our, kids look you want to get
(33:10):
in a spot where as soon, as possible you're on
your own, two feet but you have to work, on
it you have to go figure. It out there's the
generation of passive expectation. Of handouts and as we said
on the, prior Segment Doctor thomas sole has been arguing
(33:31):
this all the way back to the nineteen nineties where
there were some efforts for welfare reforms requiring work requirements
and time limits on how long you can be on
these benefits and encourage more. Self RELIANCE and i think
you can Look at instagram and TikTok continue to feed
(33:54):
this culture of instant gratification where you get validation and
rewards without putting in. Any work and then the subset
of victimhood culture where certain groups of self selected that
they are now owed something uh special treatment due to their.
Perceived grievances so it's all coming home and you saw
(34:21):
it on the twenty TWENTY five nfl draft h and
it's shaping the mind of the worldview and behavior of
our millennials AND. Gen z that's a. Big problem that's a.
Huge problem if you think that success is instant or
wealth is, their due. It's not it's earned Through grind.
(34:47):
As GENERAL am i off? POINT here, i mean are?
We are we are we seeing the expansion of not
the wealth the, welfare state but now we have become
a more of a we're tolerating an.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Entitlement, STATE well i think what you're seeing is that
people are conflating social media stardom and fame with competence
at doing physical things like throwing a football or making
a decision as to whether to throw a football.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Or not the mentality? Why would? Why? Would who who
Is Around shador sanders that thought what, he did how
he HANDLED the nfl draft process was a. Good idea
it's NOT just.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
I think i think everyone around him was, telling him
where does that?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Come from the rest, Of me what in the world
are you? DOING now i will put a caveat, on
here and THAT is i felt this way when his
dad was coming out. OF college I. Watched primetime, i'm,
LIKE man i felt the. SAME way i go BACK
and I watch primetimes DOCUMENTARY and i go he was
ahead of. His time he was just he culturally was
(35:56):
ahead of. His time or he's a sign of things.
TO come I Think shaudoor sanders is sign of things.
TO come i think NEXT Year's, nfl draft you're going
to have, MORE private vip decorated. Draft rooms you're going
to have, More blaying you're going to Have more they're
(36:21):
going to be these they're they're almost like.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Little fiefdoms well they can afford that now with seven
hundred and fifty grand a year or, you know upwards
of a million a year in.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Some, CASES yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I don't i this this feedback loop of eroding, personal
responsibility driving, unrealistic expectations leading to. Tangible consequences And For,
shaudoor sanders the tangible CONSEQUENCE was i think he lost
a lot. OF money, i think AND the, i mean
certainly you're not making first round draft money in the?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Fifth round is he even making? Nil money?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
All right so if we saw the Costs To, shadore
sanders and it is rooted in an, entitlement mentality then
where else in our economy have we suffered tangible consequences
for the entitlement mentality of other citizens that we are
(37:19):
that they're entitled to a universal. Basic income you're entitled
to your tuition to be. Wiped away you're entitled to
walk into a store and grab whatever you want and.
Leave that there's just you're entitled to clogging up intersections
and roads and with your cars and having big dance
(37:42):
parties and disregarding that you're entitled to, do, This right
so you see it. In society we know what's happening in,
our economy and we know it happens in, our politics
because you have PEOPLE like Aoc And bernie sanders that
continue to push and promote the. Entitlement thinking and you
(38:03):
have to put in the, work first, All right and
that's what. We're missing and these platforms that are influencing
our kids and giving them their news and their sense
of reality is warping their sense. Of reality kids see
influencers flexing wealth and they think that's. The baseline they
(38:28):
think that's the. Starting point they're totally missing the grind
behind it and. The workforce you're seeing the workforce shrink
among the. Younger. Generation, Right, anyway hey we'll pick Up
on we'll see what's Happening in america. Next week we'll
(38:50):
talk to. You then thanks. For Listening, brad Kopfel the
general For the Defense The american people on six TEN
W tv boo
A lot going on in the world in the United States. General, Sorry,
I didn't mean to alarm you. Did you not know
where we were going live right now? No?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
I thought I was.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Excuse me, I'm still dealing with this chess called there's
something going around, or there's something going around. I don't know,
it's just allergies or what. But hopefully the voice can
keep up. We couldn't put a show out last week
from this bug, whatever this thing is. But General, I
(00:35):
don't know if I told you, But last weekend I
went up to Toronto. Okay, I went up to Canada.
Now I didn't go up to keep an eye on
their elections, but I went up to America's what America's
hat like a smoker? Yeah, not so much. I was shocked.
(00:55):
So I went up with the to go visit a buddy.
Three of us will to go see a buddy up
there who actually is has a pretty big job in
the automotive industry. And we talked about the tariffs, and
you know how the companies are doing what they can
to minimize the cost impact of the tariffs. But what
(01:16):
have you been to Toronto before?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
I've not. I've only been into Canada I think twice.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
When you think Toronto, When I say Toronto, Canada, what
do you think.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Of Well, I always had the misconception that Toronto was
on the west coast. It's actually much closer to Ohio.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Sure, yeah, it's just it's it's several hours north of
you know, northeast of Detroit. But do you have an
image the blue jays, the blue jays, the maple leafs.
It's like, uh, I'm going to walk in and see
lumberjacks and flannels and you know, the mounted police. Right
(01:53):
it is. I'm not sure what happened, but it is
all Indian, in Asian and very few, very very I mean,
you feel like you're in a different country, a different
a different part of the world, a different side of
the world. I'm not sure what happened. So I had
(02:15):
to talk to my Uber drivers who were Indian, one Afghan,
and the older the older drivers, the older men, the
men that have been there longer, are very, very unhappy
with Trudeau's government, which now there's an extension of Trudeau's
government with Carney. But the people that have been there
(02:37):
for twenty twenty five thirty years are not happy. And
I'm not talking about the Canadians that you think of
that being you know, Caucasian, white European English settlers, French settlers.
They are very unhappy because there's a way to buy
(02:59):
CITs and ship in Canada. So if you have if
you're looking to invest your money in the West, and
you're from the East or the Near East or India,
you can buy property, buy real estate, become a landlord,
and then you put your your kid goes there, if
(03:19):
your kids going to the University of Toronto, and and
so these universities become magnets for global power, apartment, global money.
You can if you have a limited number of seats
at your university and you're going to try to maximize
(03:40):
the profit at your university, do you want to sell
those seats to your in state students at your substantially
reduced yet fair tuition or are you going to sell
them to the highest bidder and you get to foreign studentssolutely.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That's what's happening in Ohio State.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
So the foreign students come in and there is a
influx of real estate purchases. Because now you can vote,
you've become a citizen, and as a result, your government
winds up turning in favor of the nations of which
are sending them.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Still tracking that they're trying to escape from You mean.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I don't know if they're trying to Yeah, I mean whatever,
I mean, are you trying to escape India? I've never
been there. I've got friends that have been to India.
They say wonderful things about the country. I'm sure there
are parts of Afghanistan that are beautiful, you know, but
Japan and China, these other parts of the other parts
of the world are there is a strategic investment purpose
(04:48):
to send your college kids to universities in the West
US and Canada, and specifically now talking about Canada, where
once you're there through chain migration, mom and dad, siblings, friends,
they arrive, but you you have your your your assets,
your wealth, and you buy condos or the Russians did
(05:13):
this in a lot of parts of Florida. Down in
down in Florida. There's a lot of Russian oligarch money
that that moved in down there, and they brought in
their money, they bought property, they improved property. You know,
they're and they're not just running convenience stores, but they're
they are in the real estate market. And then they're
they're voting, voting, So I kind of think we need
(05:38):
to kind of keep an eye on what our universities
are doing because the entire complexion of your nation, and
we as conservatives, we are defenders in our nation and
why you want our nation to have UH to be
with the smart immigration, which we're going to talk about
here on the show. But if you want to see
what happens with unfettered migration, you can look at Toronto.
(06:04):
And I talked to my friends who are who living
in Canada and they are absolutely appalled. But not only that,
but the but the first generation migrants that have immigrants
that have been there for several decades, they're appalled by
what's happening as well. And it's causing a spike and
crime drop in commercial real estate values in the cities.
(06:27):
And they re elect Carney, they you know, they re
elect the Trudeau, the Labor Party and Carney. So these
ideas and then once that's in there, how do you
get rid of that? How do you how do you
reverse that course? Well, you need someone like Donald Trump
to come in or pure who who lost UH. And
they're blaming that on Trump.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
They should be blaming it on Pierre.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, I I I was really I was really just
surprised by what I saw up there. General. Speaking of
Donald Trump, he does know that there's a seed olpen
in global power over the Vatican, that's true. And Stephen
Miller not suggested that he throws his wig in the ring.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Well, we've that's been discussed, as we discussed coming up here.
If they do decide to bring trumpell on his pope,
they will release orange smoke.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
This the Conclave, and there's a there's a show. I'm
not sure if can't be seen this or anyone else
has seen this, but there's a show called Conclave, you
know if it's on Prime Netflix. I'm not sure, HBO.
What the the The timing shows out number one right now,
(07:45):
number one trending.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Well, you know, a pope gets to be eighty eight
years old. You know, it's not that difficult to predict
certain events.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, but the timing was quite It was released just
about a month before the man died. The pope died,
but of course the conc this this secretive meeting of
Catholic cardinals to elect a new pope. I do you
really need to go into a under lock and key
in a conclave. As you said, they've been aware for
(08:14):
a long time that they need to identify the successor.
Shouldn't that person already kind of be identified like.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
A vice pope. Well, it's just any thoughts on that. Yeah,
it's not the way they do it, but I'm sure
that there is preparation for this sort of a thing.
But then they have to go through a period of
time where they get the person they want.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Well, it seems to me, being the cynic that I am,
that you know they probably already know. It's just a
matter of you know, how long are you going to
go hang out and send smoke signals to the world
Black for no decision, right, black for no decision, White
for a new pope, and orange we send send Donald? Right,
send Donald? Okay, that's fair. After the break, let's do
(08:57):
a quick quick review of Trump's first one hundred day.
It's not getting favor, it's not getting the proper attention
in the in the the media that it needs. So
we want to want to jump into that a little bit.
We're going to veer off the course hit a little
sports today. I have to talk Shador Sanders and what's
(09:18):
happening in America culturally in entitlements. I want to definitely
want to talk about that. And then we got to
talk about the law of the Constitution in these ice
rates groups. After the break, Attorney Brad Coffll the General

to read that to keep an eye on what the
other side. Saying let me just tell, you let me
just share with, you, guys just the opinion pages of
(10:02):
The New York. Times this is just right. Now wouldn't
that be the front page the opinion. Exactly fight like
this editorial, board fight like our democracy depends on. It
Donald trump will not be president four. Years hence the
new culture of the right, vital masculine and intentionally. OFFENSIVE
(10:24):
a guest, ESSAY i wanted to do work that was helping.
People Then trump fired him. Twice that is just downsizing
the blooded federal. Government so a disgrundled. Employee The christian
right is. Dead the religious right killed. It, Then David

(10:48):
no ordinary, time and the fact that the news did
not report On trump's fourth cabinet, meeting, okay fourth cabinet,
meeting since he took office in front of reporters and,
cameras they answered dozens and dozens of. Questions the media
(11:10):
was packed. In there almost no articles on, this on
this entire cabinet meeting And Biden Uh trump rather Pardon
trump took over a hundred, questions and he did it.
Live The New York times didn't report any of the
meeting's actual, contents but instead Highlighted David FRENCH'S uh. Editorial
(11:36):
trump's cabinet members are warshock test For. America you if
all you did was got your news FROM, ABC, CBS,
nbc The New York, TIMES, cnn you would think that Are.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You wouldn't even know what the weather.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Was it was gone fire and and uh and and
and spreading. Quickly. Uh Joe biden held nine cabinet meetings
in four?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Years how many did his wife?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Hold trump has done four and one hundred, days he
took over one hundred questions from. Reporters right there is
how our country should be. Operating you can agree or
disagree with their policies every four. Years you can run
your person for president every other. Year you can run
(12:24):
someone For congress every six, years you can run someone For.
Senate but this is how it should be, done in
front of the, press taking questions and speaking bluntly and.
Truthfully for, INSTANCE i Liked kennedy's response and Calling health
(12:47):
And Human services as a principal vector a principal vector
in this country for child trafficking Under.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Biden, yes three.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Hundred thousand children were lost on The biden administration at the.
Border three hundred thousand kids unaccounted for inside our.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Country it's a lot of milk Cartonskat elon was.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Getting he got ribbed for wearing Two trump hats at
the same, time Because i'm used to wearing a lot of.
Hats even my hats wear. Hats did you see? That
that was.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Fantastic you got to.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Watch you got to go watch the. News you're you
got to go Watch you've got to watch history unfold
with your own two eyes and form your own. OPINIONS
i just think you've got To you've got to Have
i'm not using a phrase lived. EXPERIENCE i want to
talk to people with lived. EXPERIENCES i want TO i
(13:45):
want to hear their, opinions like the the the folks
In toronto THAT i talked to last. WEEKEND i don't
WANT i don't think we should be getting our our
news and the backbone of our opinions strictly on what we're,
reading because it's so, pole it's, hearsay it's so. Horder for,
Instance Boston globe ran a story HEADLINED Rfk junior will
(14:09):
order placebo testing for new, vaccines alarming health. EXPERTS i
saw one commentator, say what would we do without alarmed health?
Experts is there any other kind think about? This he's,
like look for, Vaccines. America did you know that we
haven't been doing any placebo testing on these?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
VACCINES i was taught in WHEN i went To Ohio
state that that is a vital portion of the scientific.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Method how can you turn The Boston globe turns a
wonderful scientific fact we're not doing placebo testing on, vaccines
and turn it into all alarmed health? Experts my, criticism all,
right from now, on with limited exceptions like the annual flu.
(14:58):
Shot THE fda requires all, vaccines including those already on the,
schedule to be tested against an inert placebo like pure.
Saline just you, know every other drug except for vaccines
must be tested for success against. Placebo but under long
(15:20):
STANDING fda, regulations vaccines are. Accepted did you know?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
THIS i did not know.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That why would we know?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
This it would have seemed that some very very well
funded lobbyists are coming in there and getting some regulations
written for.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Them not only are vaccines not tested against, placebos according
To Bobby Kennedy. Jr they don't even test for efficacy,
anymore by measuring whether the drug actually reduces the disease
of prevents.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Hospitalizations this is why they did not want him to
be department the head Of health And Human.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Services all, Right so when the truth comes, out the
power powerful forces that have put millions or billions into
the system's, construction and now the system is being. Deconstructed
you can now see where the money is. Going now
(16:14):
it's going the influence is going into the.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Media, well there's an old saying about. This when you fight,
corruption corruption fights.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Back, yeah but you can see where the influence is
going now they're moving it over into the editorial rooms
of the big. PAPERS i just it's astounding to. Me
what else is astounding to, me general Is Bill belichick's.
GIRLFRIEND i, know how do you go a little? Sports

practice is.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Over a latch key. Program what's going on?
Speaker 3 (16:54):
There you, know this is obviously a social media. Influencer
he has a lot of. Time i'm on his, hands
and you, KNOW i would respect him a lot more
if he just came out and, said.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Look this is all a big publicity. Stunts you, KNOW
i don't think it's a.
Speaker 1 (17:07):

nice dinner with no news outlets covering the. Story and
why this is suddenly? Newsworthy why we? CARE i don't.
Know but with most Of america appalled and the gass, like,
guys do you not? Know this is just the way it.
Is this is just the way it. IS i don't. Know,
(18:15):
uh there there IS i saw. ONE i forget who it,
was but there was a little concern that maybe she
was taking advantage of. Him mmmm uh like he's like
he's an elderly person and being taken it like he's
got on set of. Dimension, OKAY i want to stay on.
(18:37):
SPORTS i do want to talk about Schadenfreude sanders and
uh how the the overall how that plays into culture and.
Politics after the break stick around for the defense of
The american, people The general AND i will get some
we'll get some travel dates to head down to take
The general down To South, florida down To Palm beach
and not In. July you could see that The Bill
(18:58):
belichick phenomenon is alive and well back to That Bill
belichick girlfriend's, story The Bill belichick phenomenon of having a
woman half his age as his. GIRLFRIEND i suggest that
we put together for The defense road show the place
(19:21):
you want to go down To Palm Beach, general so
you can see that this is all over the place
and south, forward especially in the winter. Time is the
meat Market Palm. Beach that'd be m e a t
Market Palm, Beach and you can take. That you can
interpret that restaurant name many different, ways but it is
exactly as it, says all, Right, general The Shadoor. Sanders
(19:48):
while watching that all, HAPPEN i had a range of.
EMOTIONS i was surprised that a range of. Emotions WHILE
i was watching that all. HAPPEN i try not to
engage in. Schadenfreude you, know it's just it's a it's
a human weakness to take delight and the misery of.
Others but it's really kind of hard not to. Freude
(20:09):
shot and Freuda sanders shador. Freude it's really hard not.
To SO i was a little. Surprised PERHAPS i shouldn't be.
Anymore an article From The, Athletic The athletic and the
quote surprising slide Of colorado Quarterback Shudor sanders and finally
taken by The brownies in the fifth round one hundred
(20:29):
and forty fourth overall after being projected as a potential
first round. Pick you know these talking head medias who
were projecting things like election victories and draft. Spots WHAT
i want to know is how much money was Melk heiper?
Paid because Mel kiper had to know what was being
said in the rooms around THE. Nfl and if Mel
(20:52):
kiper didn't know what was being said in the rooms
of THE, nfl the Mel kiper needs to probably just
call it a, day nice career and. Go Johnny carson
lost his, fastball, right so. Disconnect look, general give me
your take real.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Quick, well being a quarterback is all about making good.
Decisions and AS i, recall Mister sanders arrived At colorado
and was getting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars a
year in nil money fine and within six months had
to declare bankruptcy that the. Store, yes that's not a
(21:31):
good decision making. Start what makes a great college quarterback
does not necessarily make a great pro. Quarterback you have
to have all the throws to be a pro. Quarterback
so it is a problem for. Him he clearly doesn't
make good. Choices all.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
RIGHT i don't. KNOW i haven't heard anything ABOUT. S
Georg sanders filing. Bankruptcy but do you think that was
just poor decision? Making you think he just did horribly
on the Wonder. LICK i haven't heard anything about.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
That, WELL i haven't heard anything about The Wonder. Lick
but you, know he performed what he barely had a
winning record At colorado and his dad was the, coach all.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Right the article on the athletics suggests more than suggests
That shador's slide wasn't just about, football but intertwined with
cultural and racial. Narratives, okay all, right he has. Confidence
no problem, there everybody whose. QUARTERBACK i got no problems
(22:33):
with that wealth from the nil. DEALS i got no
problems with that wealth from his, dad celebrity status amplified
by REALITY tv. Exposure you, know is this THE nfl
bucking back against entitlement? Mentality there are just.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Too many people in THE nfl who want a good
quarterback for their team and to let him go out of.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Spite all, right they were legitimate football, concerns armed arm, pocket,
presence the judgment issues that you've talked.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
About you can take off running in, college you can't
take off running in the.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Pros how about skipping pre draft? Events? Uh these poor
interviews Apparently dad's overshadowing. Presence? Right are those? Cultural are those?
RACES i don't. Understand how's any of that racial or?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Cultural it doesn't make any.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Sense, Right so He this was not a group of
WHITE nfl team owners saying we need to Keep Shador.
Sanders we need to let him know that we're in,
control and he's.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Not, uh this wasn't Cam ward the very first player,
taken and wasn't he a black?
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Quarterback why would why would why would? You why would
you add to your roster anyone Like Shador sanders who
has absolutely no clue how idiotic it is to go
through life with an entitlement. Mentality entitlement. Mentality so What
(24:16):
i'm saying here is what is? Entitlement being entitled means
acting like you deserve special treatment or privileges just because
of who you are without earning. Them it's that vibe
of expecting things to be handed to, you with a
side dish of arrogance or disregard for. Others one of
(24:39):
our favorite, thinkers Doctor Thomas, soul has been talking about
the problem with entitlements in The United states via the welfare,
state and how it would eventually morph into an entitlement
mentality and once you have entitlement mentality amongst your, citizens you're.
Doomed he has been very vocal for. Decades Doctor soul
(25:05):
says that this attitude of entitlement grows in modern welfare,
states comparing it to a sense of dependency not since
the days of, slavery where people feel owed what others.
Produce all, Right so he points Out medicare And Social,
security those are entitlement, programs and those now are off.
(25:32):
Limits what happens is you wind up with extensions of
that welfare, thinking and you create a generation or several
generations of citizens who don't have personal responsibility built into THEIR,
(25:53):
dna it's not built into their. Psyche his concern was
you would eventually have people as the. Norm what you're
saying With Shador, sanders AND i think it's a bigger
problem than Just Sador, sanders the entitlement that you see
(26:16):
in the. Suburbs like in my practice with the there's
been a change in the family systems of the PEOPLE i,
represent the KIDS i represent from you, know your your big,
suburbs and in the. Parents this entitlement mentality is not
just For Shadoor. Sanders it's all over the. Place AND
(26:37):
i think that, TikTok, instagram instant. Gratification we have a
generation of young people that need instant validation and rewards
without necessarily putting into the. Work they've curated these online.
Personas chadors created a much bigger digital. Persona and then
(27:02):
you have the inside that a, subset a rise of
victimhood culture and certain groups are encouraged to see themselves
as owed special treatment or they have grievances against the.
Systems look at college. Debt many Younger americans feel they're
(27:25):
entitled to debt. Forgiveness now you're hearing about universal basic
income because the system's rigged against. Them see What i'm.
Saying so The Shador sanders is, yes that was entitlement
on full. Display but you can trace this back to
(27:47):
if you, want you can take trace this all the
way back to the sixties and seventies where we started
to remove the expectation of you put in the work
and then you get the. Benefits you don't get dessert at.
First you eat your broccoli. First now it's no, Broccoli
give me more. Dessert Should Shad Door sanders is just an.
(28:09):
Example two weeks before, that The tennessee QUARTERBACK i am
a leaving same thing is. Entitled he had a contract
in a four year. Contract after one year breaks the.
Contract wants the contract broken because he's entitled to more.
Money and unless we talk about this and try to
(28:31):
weed it, out there's an instant feedback system that just
keeps perpetuating. THIS i think it's a big, problem a huge,
problem and we do need to continue to talk about
the entitlement mentality that's all Over. America after the, BREAK
i know The general's got. Something what's talk. About we're
going to talk about these ice sweeps and immigration and
(28:54):
the judges that are thwarting it. All Brad, coffel The
general for The defense of The American people six' ten TO.
Be tv, all right so we're talking about we were
going to Talk to general. After break we were going
to talk about ice and these judges and Their the
constitution seems to be thwarting a lot of what the
(29:16):
court seemed to be thwarting a lot Of what trump
administration wants. To do, but This This shador sanders fall
in the draft has really kind of triggered a broader conversation,
about entitlements. Entitled mentality.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
And it's also triggered. A correction it was Not Shud
or sanders who. DECLARED bankruptcy i was wrong. About that
it was, His brother shiloh got.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
IT well i think the point is. The, same right
they get hit with a bunch, of money they blow
the money and filed. FOR bankruptcy i don't.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Know, that well a lot of people, do THAT but
i don't know That Shud or sanders.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Did that so being a titled means acting like you
deserve special treatment just because of who, you are or
special privileges just because of who. You are and it's, a,
vibe right and whatever that Vibe Is, shador sanders, many
people we all have. Entitlement mentalities think of something that
(30:16):
you don't get and you. Get disappointed you get disappointed
because you feel entitled. To that we all have various
levels of. Entitlement mentality it's a cultural backlash that is
not should not be. Deemed racial it is a cultural
backlash to a system that we have created In The
(30:40):
united states over the last probably fifty to, sixty years
where entitlements were simply at the, government level they were
designed to welfare to protect those who can't take care,
of themselves or you paid into to a system and
(31:01):
you were entitled to a return On Your social security
that you kind of get. That, entitlement well now you're
getting into having your, school tuition your tuition debt wiped
away that somehow you're entitled to.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
That by those who didn't go, to college.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And many if you want to, call it by. Something
else the modern welfare state has a dependency arm where
people feel they are owed what, others produce.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And you suddenly start getting a lot of those.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
These entitlement Programs like Medicare And. Social security is. One
Thing what i'm, talking about what we're trying to accomplish
here is explain among the younger generation who have a
tough future and even tougher future if their entitlement mentality
is not put. In check because when you have a
(32:01):
cultural shift and a bigger percentage of your population is
moving Into well i'm owed this, and entitlement, You know
and it's and it's this is not, one race this is.
All races it's not, one religion it's. All religion and
there you have more and more people who feel they
deserve a share of something. Without effort it gets stoked
(32:27):
by politicians because they sell the welfare state to constituency
to get, in power stay. In power it's stoked by
academics push pushing. Social justice this all combined has eroded
personal Responsibility, in america and it has contributed to. Social
(32:48):
problems almost every social problem you. Can find we have,
miseducated elites demanding more while. Producing little, and look if
you want to be, truly free you shouldn't be dependent.
On anybody and IT'S what i tell, my Kids WHAT
michelle i tell. Our, kids look you want to get
(33:10):
in a spot where as soon, as possible you're on
your own, two feet but you have to work, on
it you have to go figure. It out there's the
generation of passive expectation. Of handouts and as we said
on the, prior Segment Doctor thomas sole has been arguing
(33:31):
this all the way back to the nineteen nineties where
there were some efforts for welfare reforms requiring work requirements
and time limits on how long you can be on
these benefits and encourage more. Self RELIANCE and i think
you can Look at instagram and TikTok continue to feed
(33:54):
this culture of instant gratification where you get validation and
rewards without putting in. Any work and then the subset
of victimhood culture where certain groups of self selected that
they are now owed something uh special treatment due to their.
Perceived grievances so it's all coming home and you saw
(34:21):
it on the twenty TWENTY five nfl draft h and
it's shaping the mind of the worldview and behavior of
our millennials AND. Gen z that's a. Big problem that's a.
Huge problem if you think that success is instant or
wealth is, their due. It's not it's earned Through grind.
(34:47):
As GENERAL am i off? POINT here, i mean are?
We are we are we seeing the expansion of not
the wealth the, welfare state but now we have become
a more of a we're tolerating an.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Entitlement, STATE well i think what you're seeing is that
people are conflating social media stardom and fame with competence
at doing physical things like throwing a football or making
a decision as to whether to throw a football.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Or not the mentality? Why would? Why? Would who who
Is Around shador sanders that thought what, he did how
he HANDLED the nfl draft process was a. Good idea
it's NOT just.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
I think i think everyone around him was, telling him
where does that?
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Come from the rest, Of me what in the world
are you? DOING now i will put a caveat, on
here and THAT is i felt this way when his
dad was coming out. OF college I. Watched primetime, i'm,
LIKE man i felt the. SAME way i go BACK
and I watch primetimes DOCUMENTARY and i go he was
ahead of. His time he was just he culturally was
(35:56):
ahead of. His time or he's a sign of things.
TO come I Think shaudoor sanders is sign of things.
TO come i think NEXT Year's, nfl draft you're going
to have, MORE private vip decorated. Draft rooms you're going
to have, More blaying you're going to Have more they're
(36:21):
going to be these they're they're almost like.
Speaker 3 (36:23):
Little fiefdoms well they can afford that now with seven
hundred and fifty grand a year or, you know upwards
of a million a year in.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Some, CASES yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I don't i this this feedback loop of eroding, personal
responsibility driving, unrealistic expectations leading to. Tangible consequences And For,
shaudoor sanders the tangible CONSEQUENCE was i think he lost
a lot. OF money, i think AND the, i mean
certainly you're not making first round draft money in the?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Fifth round is he even making? Nil money?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
All right so if we saw the Costs To, shadore
sanders and it is rooted in an, entitlement mentality then
where else in our economy have we suffered tangible consequences
for the entitlement mentality of other citizens that we are
(37:19):
that they're entitled to a universal. Basic income you're entitled
to your tuition to be. Wiped away you're entitled to
walk into a store and grab whatever you want and.
Leave that there's just you're entitled to clogging up intersections
and roads and with your cars and having big dance
(37:42):
parties and disregarding that you're entitled to, do, This right
so you see it. In society we know what's happening in,
our economy and we know it happens in, our politics
because you have PEOPLE like Aoc And bernie sanders that
continue to push and promote the. Entitlement thinking and you
(38:03):
have to put in the, work first, All right and
that's what. We're missing and these platforms that are influencing
our kids and giving them their news and their sense
of reality is warping their sense. Of reality kids see
influencers flexing wealth and they think that's. The baseline they
(38:28):
think that's the. Starting point they're totally missing the grind
behind it and. The workforce you're seeing the workforce shrink
among the. Younger. Generation, Right, anyway hey we'll pick Up
on we'll see what's Happening in america. Next week we'll
(38:50):
talk to. You then thanks. For Listening, brad Kopfel the
general For the Defense The american people on six TEN
