Speaker 2 (00:40):
Let's get you to the next level.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Welcome to another edition of Cornivore Bites. I'm your host,
Jeff Sherman, along with doctor Eric Loopkin. We were out
last week, but we're here with vigor and focus, and
I think the first thing on your suggestion for pre
podcast meeting is let's look at the first hundred days

(01:27):
of Donald J. Trump, and I'll just throw it off
to you first.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, it's been an interesting one hundred days, to say
the least.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
I do love.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Carolyn Levitt was talking about some trade deals and she said,
we're working on Trump time, and I think that really
sums it up, because more has happened in the last
one hundred days than happened in the last four years.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Yeah, let me just introduct one thing about that again,
Trump time. I think that's a great point. And all
I'll say on that to kind of support that is
that there was analysis done. We'll talk about the state
of the Democratic Party later in the podcast, but there
was a editorial about how the what Trump has done
and the speed and vigor and focus basically have left

(02:21):
the Dems scrambling in backfoot, you know, playing on the
back feet. And I think that makes all the sense
in the world because they're part of they are the
basically apparatchia and part of their whole lives. They're essentially
been in politics. They don't know business time. So all
those interject that and your thoughts on that, by the way.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
No, you're absolutely right.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Good time. How do you like that?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, things move a lot faster in the private sector
than they do in politics. Politics is mostly about stalling
and keeping the status quo, and Trump just upended that.
So we've got one hundred days. Gas prices have come down.

(03:08):
Democrats said there was nothing they could do about that.
Egg prices and inflation are coming down. The Democrats said
there was nothing they could do about that, correct sir,
The border is secure, shut down, essentially shut down. There's
still a couple of people coming over, but it's like

(03:28):
less less have come over in the last one hundred
days than came over in a week under the Biden administration. Now,
remember Biden said there was no way to do that
without new legislation and new funding, and yet Trump managed
to do it pretty quickly without either one of those.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
It wasn't that always an excuse though, because they wanted
this spigot kept turned on for various reasons. They knew
it was BS, but obviously it was BS. You don't
have to be a brain surge and figure that out.
It was all executive actions, and he could have reversed
those or tweaked them, but they chose not to. So
it doesn't it summarize or isn't it basically is a

(04:14):
microcosm of the entire Biden presidency bullshit on steroids, and.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It pretty much is.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I mean, all they were doing for the last four
years was kicking the can down the road and saying, oh, well,
you can do that, and we can't do that.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
We can't do that.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
They were always nobody seemed to want to actually do
their job.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
And now at the helm though no, well.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, but Congress didn't want to do their job either.
There were certain certain things that should have been done
through Congress that Biden tried to do through executive order,
and of course most of them were thrown out by
the courts because he didn't have the power to do them.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Mm hmm. Yes, and okay, so we have this in
one hundred days. We also look at the you're talking
about the domestic front, you have to include the the
stock market, which is down. I feel and have the
doctor comment on this. I think it's a tempest in
a teapot. I see actually I see it going up

(05:19):
over the next two months. Good skyrocket. If a couple
of big deals happen, how do you like that? And
then that's all the Dems have. It's a one tricky
right now. If Trump pulls off the d embargoes, then
I'm sorry to say check please.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Actually I don't even I don't even think it matters
what's going what's going what's going on in the stock
market is excessive volatility due to uncertainty. People don't know
what's going on. If if Trump manages to get trade
deals and we've already got eighteen deals on the table

(06:01):
with various countries, then yeah, the stock market is going
to start going up again. However, if Trump doesn't get
the trade deals and the trade war goes away or
stabilizes even without the deals, the volatility is gonna go away,
the uncertainty is gonna go away. The stock market's gonna

(06:24):
go up anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yes, let me introduct one thing, not just wishful thinking.
I think deals will be done. Oh, absolutely will be
done here. And it is. And it shows the ineptitude
of previous Republican and Democratic administrations. They because they never
knew anything about business. Okay, they've always been swamp creatures.

(06:47):
They have no idea how things really work. We have
the leverage, we have the party, We are the country
club that everyone wants to get into. Use some of those,
but we gave it away with no strings attached. Not
very bright, your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Not very bright. But I think the problem is much
more basic than that. Previous administrations always tried to deal
with other countries using the carrot. Oh, we'll give you
more money, we'll provide this to you, we'll do this
for you. And for the last fifty years, we haven't

(07:26):
gotten anybody anywhere doing that.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
Well, let me to object one thing, giving someone is
the easy way out, okay, and that's what they chose.
I mean, yeah, I want you to do something, doctor Lopkin.
So yeah, I'll polish your car, I'll mow your lawn.
But when you call someone on the carpet, it's a
completely different situation. And also I think there's a little
bit of a post World War two delusion going on. Okay,

(07:54):
allies or allies, but they also had their best interest okay.
And Europe has been ripping us off. China has been
taking us to the cleaners. Either we do. It was
unit is and was unsustainable unless you just want to
de industrialize. And by the way, another brainiac Janet Yellen,

(08:14):
she says it's unrealistic to think about bringing back manufacturing. Yeah,
that was exactly the right person for that job, no question,
a genius.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, remember back in twenty fifteen, Obama said, you know,
there was no magic wand that they could wave to
start interest, the GDP going up in the economy turning around.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
There was you know, there was no magic wand.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
And Trump came in on his first term and essentially
did it quickly.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah, yeah, Obama, just to interject one thing about that
you are correct on the GDP and other other situations.
He articulated in terms of economic but he also talked
about manufacturing, and that to me is very interesting. Either
they don't give a shit, or they don't have the
brains to understand manufacturing or understand the importance of having

(09:12):
at least a semblance of a manufacturing economy, and they
don't even understand technology. With robotics and AI, there's no
reason why you can't manufacture in America. But it shows
you the kind of leadership or lack thereof, especially with
Biden and well, I mean there was.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
There was no leadership with Biden. But I think the
basic problem is what I started alluding to. They were
all trying to use the carrot. Trump decided, you know what,
we're going to use the stick, and guess what they're
coming to The countries are coming to the table. They're going, oh,
we can't just keep taking anymore.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
Yes, I think that's true with economic issues. I also
I think it's true with NATO. I think we got
to wean some of these European countries off the US
nipple and have them step up to the plane. I
think there's a lot of changes that need to be done,
and I believe that with the speed of Trump Trump speed,
or let's just say private sector speed, aren't the Democrats

(10:20):
really just blown away at this point of time. It
could turn around. But there the ship that the sale
has broken. The mass has broken on this sailboat.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Right now, yeah, right now, the party is rudderless. I
think the biggest problem is that they do not have
a leader. And you've heard Democrats say this over and
over again that they don't have anybody at the helm.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
They don't have a leader.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
And I heard an analysis yesterday that was actually brilliant
because they were talking about Nancy Pelosi. And when Pelosi
was in charge, every week she would pull the party
together and go, this is what's happening Monday. This is
what's happening Tuesday. This is what we've got coming up

(11:10):
next week. You're gonna go on this Sunday show, You're
gonna do this interview. These are your talking points. And
everybody knew if they didn't fall in line, their committee
appointments could be removed, they could be sentenced to the wilderness.

(11:31):
In terms of the party, Pelosi is no longer in charge.
Hakeem Jeffries is obstensibly in charge, and he does not
have that gravitas. He doesn't have the political acumen that
Pelosi has. No, he doesn't have the authority to actually

(11:54):
start pulling people from committee assignments. They're all running in
different they have no real leadership, and that's going to
be a bigger problem, I think than they're anticipating, because
take a look at government workers. Yes, you've got the

(12:16):
die hard deep staters which are trying to leak things
to the media and make up news like oh, these
people are fighting and this people, these people are fighting.
But if you take a look at the rank and file,
military recruitment is up across the board, every area of

(12:39):
the military recruitment is up. Border patrol morale is through
the roof. They're going crazy, they're back doing their job
on local areas.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
The police morale.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Is up because Trump is supporting them.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
You can't I mean the police, but how about that.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
You need to address the made up crisis. Would the
so called unsecured uh texting or whatever. I think that's
a tempest to the teapot. I don't think anyone gives
a ship.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
No one, most most people don't care.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
All people.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Nobody has yet to actually prove that there was any
classified information discussed in these in these conversations. And quite frankly,
the fact that they're on signal signal is actually incredibly secure.
It's actually one of the most secure apps out there.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
So anybody who's on there.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yes, there was a mistake that somebody invited the Atlantic Reporter,
and quite frankly, I'm not completely convinced that was a mistake.
I think somebody within the administration who was part of
the d state probably leaked that.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
But the fact, the fact of the matter is.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Nothing happened. Yo, the Atlantic made a big deal. Oh
all of these plans were revealed. To me, It's like,
well great, but guess what. The Huthies still were caught
flat footed. They still got the crop bombed out of them.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yes, I think it's a tempest in a teapot. I
think it shows desperation, just no talking points in they're
not resonating. It's really interesting because no matter what, going
back to I would say probably got the sixties. I
would think DEM's always had the youth vote that has changed.
Do you know what they are? They're the Neil Young

(14:45):
Party now, okay, irrelevancy and old age eighteen to twenty
nine demographic, huge demographic in terms of excuse me, importance.
There used to be only three years ago forty two
percent approval of the Democratic Party or affiliation with the
Democratic Party down to twenty three. That's a twenty point gap.

(15:10):
That's and it should be troubling to anyone. It's the reverse.
And the Republicans, who used to be the country club
boring stiffs, now have captured the young people. You go
on campus, except for ivy league nutcase schools, but a
real campus, okay, like University of you know whatever of
Wisconsin or something, they're probably well, I don't know, seventy Republicans.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah, and it's not just young people. Take a look
at what's been going on with the tariff war. The
unions are backing Trump. Not the union leadership, of course,
because they're still in the pockets of the Democrats. But
the union members have come out overwhelmingly saying yes, they

(15:57):
support the tariffs. They're supporting Trump because Trump is actually
the first president in probably at least forty years, if
not more that has done anything for the unions.

Speaker 3 (16:12):
Oh yeah, no, and it's really troubling, just like we
talk about it.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Actually, let me let me rephrase that. It's not that
Trump is the first one to.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Do anything for the unions.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
He is the first one to do anything for the workers.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yes, no question about it. But isn't an interesting We
talk about how stupid Jews have to be to vote Democratic, Well,
look at the fifty to sixty year history starting with
well not starting Sandwich. Wouldn't have to you know any
rank and file. Basically Democrats weren't for you. They before
getting rid of there's the globalists. The end is I actually

(16:49):
think leadership, how do you like this, doctor Lopkin? Union
leadership will soon be replaced with Republicans cleaning people. I
think that ship is going to sail.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's very possible because union members, with the exception of
the deep blue states the Northeast, New York, California, and Illinois,
union members in basically all of the other states have flipped.
And that was actually one of the things that gave

(17:21):
Trump the election was the union members ship supported him
despite what union leaders were saying.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, and also you got to look at demographic and
geographic shifting. Blue states are bleeding populous and red states
are picking it up. So even though yes, if you
look at the net outcome, it's definitely going to be
gravitating towards the GOP that is rank and file and

(17:51):
leadership of unions and deservingly so when you just acquiesce
and say, oh, we can never be a manufacturing country,
you're talking about Davos. You're talking about globalist scum that
don't believe in nationalism. They just believe in believe in
Wall Street and lining their own greedy pockets. And that's
what I really think of them. HOWE you like that? Well?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I think there's also another problem. When they say, oh,
we can't do manufacturing, they're still envisioning manufacturing as manufacturing
from the nineteen twenties. It's, you know, people doing repetitive
work over and over again. It's like, that is not
what manufacturing is anymore. Manufacturing is robotics, Manufacturing is AI.

(18:40):
I have actually been in some pharmaceutical manufacturing plants here
in Connecticut that these are spotless. There are you know,
it's run by a few people, but most of it
is automation. So you can bring back manufacturing You're not

(19:00):
going to bring back as many manufacturing jobs as people
seem to think, because automation is going to be taken
care of most of it. But you are going to
create an entire new classification of jobs because every automation
has to be programmed, every robot.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Needs to be maintained.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
That is going to be under job. Doctor Lopkin understood.
You know that. I know that. But it gets back
to our original thesis. Why doesn't Why don't the Democrats
know that? Because they've never been in the private sector.
They still, I agree with you, they still think it's
nineteen fifty one. Oh yeah, they think it's still you know,

(19:44):
Henry Ford. Of course those jobs aren't coming. They're right
about that. But they don't know what the hell. They
don't even know what AI is. How do you like that?
I'm dead stus. I mean, they think it's a movie
by Steven Spielberg. I think it came out in the
nineteen eighty five or something like that. Whatever, go ahead.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I very clearly remember some of the testimony from Mark
Zuckerberg when he was called in front of the Senate Subcommittee.
Oh god, that was classic, and I it looked like
a bunch of senior citizens asking their grandchild for tech support.
They obviously did not understand technology. They did not understand

(20:24):
social media. And to be fair, that's a big reason
that the left has hijacked the Democratic Party because you've
got folks like AOC that actually understand social media.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
One of the few things she does understand. But you
are one hundred percent correct about that. That was actually MUSSYTV.
I mean it was like, hey, you know, I have
a dial up modem and it's not working. Could you
help me out with that? Is whoa Welcome to the
nineteen nineties. Yep, they were on top of things. But
speaking of AOC, she we talked about the fate of
the Democratic Party. We used to kid around. She is

(21:03):
the leader. She is the leader of the Democratic Party.
Hate to burst your bubble, Hopkins, but it's true. Her
and Bernie are going on the tour of victory. He's
passing his self hating Jude Torch to AOC, and she
looks like she's poised to take Schumer's job. Who's in
a shitload of trouble.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Your thoughts, well, I think she wants to run against Schumer.
I don't honestly see her having a chance because you're
going to essentially see Schumer and AOC split the vote
in New York City. Well, guess what the rest of

(21:44):
the state, they're not voting for either one of them.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, but hold on, No, they're gonna primary. So I
think AOC can take him out. Yes, And I think
your point about the actual senatorial election, you could very
well have a Republican flip.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Yeah, you're not.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
You're not going to see Staten Island, Long Island, State,
New York, Central, New York, these these these areas are
not voting for AOC. There's a good possibility she may
lose a good part of the city. All Schumer has
to do is point out how many jobs she cost

(22:26):
the city and the condition of her home district.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
I still say she could probably she has a good
chance of beating Schumer. She has very little chance of
winning a general senatorial or statewide senatorial election. And I actually,
how do you think, how do you like this lee
Zelden will run against her or Chucky put that in
your rolodex.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
I don't know about that. I think Lee Zelden is
holding out for the governor's race again.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
But either Okay, I'll give you that one. I'll give
you that one. But you wouldn't be surprised, would you know?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
I wouldn't surprise me. There's also been taught that Elisa
Stephanik may run for governor. If she decides to run
for governor, then yeah, I think Zelden will go for
Schumer's seat.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Actually had it like that one, I think it should flip.
I think she should challenge his senatorial and she would eat.
They're both Jewish, but she would mop the floor with
AOC the anti semi Oh, absolutely, goodbye, check please you
would I.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Would rather see Zelden run again for governor and take
the governor's seat. Agree Stephanic take Schumer's seat.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
And Jenny's thinking about flipping. It's very interesting, I believe,
and I actually thought this. I don't know if I
talked about it with you, but Dershawood should have done
a pro He doesn't need it because he won't anyway,
but I think he should have done a pro Trump
ad because I actually think he's a Republican now and
I'm dead serious about that. He was actually talking about

(24:06):
the Ivy League in Harvard in particular, and he says
they used to be the beacon of intellectualism and legal practice,
and now they produce he said, like idiots like Ship
Raskin and Warren. That's a pretty scathing rebuke. Doctor.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well, when you hire Lori Lightfoot and Captain Neckfact to
be your professors, of course you're not going to be
turning out the cream of the crocs students.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
You know it well. And also you got to look
at what Maxine gay or whatever, I don't remember her
first name she. I think it's hysterical because you could
have a congressional hearing, like you could go back in
time to nineteen fifty President of Harvard would be this
blue blood guy with a bow tie smoking a pipe,

(24:57):
very aerodyte. Then you had what Maxine Geats or whatever.
Oh my god. What I still crack up is it
is it against the Harvard doctrine to call for the
extermination of Jews? Oh? No, only if it's acted upon. Yeah,
that's classic, that is classic. Unbelievable. But yes, that's how

(25:20):
I think he's And we talked about this before, and
I've heard it not just fring you, but from other
people that are in the business world that corporations aren't
really flocking all that much for Ivy leaguers. They'd rather
go to good schools, good state schools in particular, and
and get a solid and you know, intelligent young person,

(25:42):
not an indoctrinated lunatic.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
No, you're you're seeing the Ivy League. If you list
your the Ivy League college on your resume, you better
be prepared to defend that in an interview because that
does not carry any weight anymore. You might as well
have gone to a community college for all the weight

(26:05):
it carries.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
Okay, now let me I need to interject this. I
need to hear you and you're very close to this,
so our listeners know this is not just posturing. You
really believe you talk to people all the time every day.
Is what you're saying is that it's not something that's
going to get you in the door, but possibly prevent
you from entering the door. Is that correct?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yes, that is absolutely correct.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
I know numerous companies, and not just small businesses, but
larger ones as well, that they're taking a look at resumes.
And we're talking law firms, we're talking Wall Street firms,
We're talking you know, industries that used to get ninety
nine percent of their people from the Ivy League. They're

(26:53):
now looking at these resumes and going, Oh, Columbia, forget it,
we don't want them. Oh Harvard, forget it, we don't
want them. Because they're looking at these folks as they
can't get along with people. They don't. They are not
being taught anymore, So why should we bother wasting our

(27:14):
efforts trying to get them into our workforce.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
You know, golet me to check one thing about that.
One of the things I heard. I think your points
are very quite good, by the way, but I heard
from several people it's more than this. They're not learning anything,
which is obviously an issue, but the getting along. They
just don't mix with regular folk. You know, it's time out.
Rooms are not going to take an hour for a

(27:40):
Palestinian rally. I mean, these people are they're not in
They're not in the real world. Like remember when they
had to protest and I forgot that whack chob. I
hope she's permanently unemployed. Talk about how she's under siege
and they need relief access to the cafeteria. People are
out of their minds. I mean, she could never work

(28:04):
in a private job unless she was deprogrammed. Yeah, these
are hospitalized.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
The Ivy League students are no longer being prepared for
the workforce. And it's a big part of it is
the socialization aspect of it. They cannot fit into a
corporate culture. And businesses have come to realize over the
last fifteen years that their corporate culture is crucial to

(28:33):
their success. So they don't want people that can't fit
into their corporate cultures. But even more than that, the
education system. You know, Harvard keeps saying they've been making
statements about, you know, they're the best in the brightest
as they go after the Trump administration. If Harvard is

(28:53):
really only bringing in the best in the brightest, why
in the past semester did they have to start offering
remedial classes.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Oh well they got rid of no.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
No.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Victor Hanson, I love the guy, love love, love him, right,
And he said, this is about four months ago, you know,
time flies, doctor Lopkin. And I was listening to him.
He was on a radio talk show and he was saying,
and he has a PhD from a good school, Stanford,
by the way, when it was a real school, and
he's like, these are no longer elite institutions. He goes

(29:28):
they long ago traded academic him. This's not me academic
excellence for DEI initiatives. They don't even you know, they
don't even require the SAT because it's racist.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah, it's absolutely amazing. And you know the Harvard right
now is suing the Trump administration because they don't. Yeah,
they don't want the Trump administration to be able to
put any conditions on the money that the government is
giving them. They want the money, but they don't want
to have to do what the government is asking of.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Sounds like a five year old kid, yes.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
But on the flip side, they've been more than happy
to take foreign money and teach what those foreign governments
and organizations wanted them to.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
So they've that's exactly what they've done, right.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
They've been doing this the whole time. But when it's
pro America, Oh no, we can't do that. How brainwashed
is that?

Speaker 3 (30:30):
Can I interject something? Doctor? And only the doctor has
to comment on this? I believe how do you like this?
I'll go out on a limb that the longer time progresses,
the more things can change. And especially in this high
tech world, social media world, it is not beyond reproach

(30:53):
that Harvard could go from first class to to baggage claim.
It's not beyond the realm of possibility. It's all about branding.
It's branding, that's all it is.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
That is essentially what the Ivy League has been. It's
a brand, and the the actual product that they're turning
out is not living up to that brand. So yes,
they can fall pretty far, pretty fast.

Speaker 4 (31:26):
It happens to companies. You have great companies. Look at Cadillac, Cadillac.
You know, remember, hey, it's a Cadillac. Of soup, It's
a Cadillac. And if you say this now, people, what
what are you talking about? Oh you mean the product sucks?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
Yeah, so it's yeah, Harvard All, he is delusional. I
think it's but it's not. It may not be the
five star hotel. They got issues, as they say.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, no, they've they've proven beyond the shadow of a
doubt that it's no longer a five star institution. The
question is, and we've started seeing a turnaround because in
the last I think it's three semesters or so, Ivy
League enrollment has dropped dramatically.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Students no longer want.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
To spend all that money to go there now that
they realize there's a good chance they won't be able
to get a job and be saddled with all that debt.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Oh well, especially the Palestinian rabble rows or. I hope
she has three hundred grand and now it's unemployable. As
mister wonderful said. Now, speaking of defunding, there's a bill
I believe it's moving through Congress to not actually start
in the Senate. I believe Kennedy to defund NPR. I

(32:47):
think that's long overdue. Do you agree.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, there's really no reason for public television and public
radio anymore. There was when it started. You had in
some markets you had three TV stations in one newspaper.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
Maybe you had two radio stations.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
And that was it.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Now you've got five hundred channels, you've got hundreds of
news sources online, you've got podcasts, you've got social.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Media, got carnivore radio.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yes, there is really no point to the government funding
PBS and NPR, and PPS in particular has been driving
me up the wall lately because as I'm watching programming
on Amazon Prime, PBS is advertising. If you can afford

(33:45):
to advertise on Amazon Prime, you don't need government funding. No.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
And also there's something a little thing called merchandising. It's
all bullshit. It's like actually funding Harvard. Okay, Harvard is
a hedge fund that just happened to have classrooms. They're
endownments like fifty billion. I mean, what are you smoking.
There's no reason at all to fund them. Okay, you
can put a lot more money, and I would be

(34:11):
Ford into community college doing STEM work, something that will
actually improve the country and its capabilities and improve people's lives,
not giving money to fund Palestinian whack jobs. How do
you like that one? Brutal? It's a novel concept.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
If we could take the money that is currently going
to the Ivy League schools and focus it on training
people in manufacturing, in STEM, in AI, in robotics, yeah
it we could see a new golden age by doing that.

(34:52):
There are right now approximately seventeen thousand open positions for welders.
Now people think, well, okay, how many jobs you know,
could there possibly be welding? There are seventeen thousand open positions,

(35:13):
and not just in construction. A lot of this is
in the defense sector. We need welders to build submarines,
to build airplanes.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
And the money's good. There's like underwater welders would make
whale over one hundred thousand dollars. I think what the
world does not need is another art history degree from
an Ivy League school, Thank you very much. I think
they're good.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
There are manufacturing associates, degrees and certifications that are available
at our local community colleges that when they graduate. Students
graduate from these programs.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Immediate job, not only immediate job.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
The average starting salary is approximately eighty five thousand. If
they put in a little overtime, they're well over one
hundred thousand dollars a year. And this is a community college,
so they're not saddled with five hundred grand in debt.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
I think colleges overall have a lot of explaining and
thinking to do. But you look at also switching gears
a little bit. You look at the Trump impact with Biden.
You know, everything was at loggerhead. Nothing gets done, we
can't do anything, it's too complicated. Blah blah blah, blah
blah blah. The Palestinian president basically called on Hamas to sieves,

(36:41):
I mean to abdicate control of Gaza and hand over
their arms. Wow.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Yes, there have been multiple Palestinian protests in the Gaza
Strip against Hamas. The Palestinians are starting to stand up
to the terrorists. Unlike our students here, they actually know
what's going on, and they see they knew that Biden

(37:13):
could not be trusted to keep backing the Israelis, so
they were in fear for their lives. Now they know
there's going to be four years of absolute support for
Israel to get rid of Hamas. Palestinians are now coming
out and saying okay, yes, please get rid of them.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Of course, because they let's cut the shit. You know,
it's it's easy, and it's been out through history to
blame the Jews for anything that could possibly happen. But
in actuality there is no reason and there are some issues,
of course. I got it. I got it. The Gaza
Strip could have been an awesome place. It was Hamostis.

(37:56):
It wasn't the Israelis. It is Hamas and the other
terrorist groups that screwed over their own people.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, I mean, going back as far as the PLO,
the terrorist organizations diverted funds from the Palestinians, diverted materials
from the Palestinians when they were supposed to be building infrastructure,
they instead took that material to build tunnels and weapons.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Well do you know who said that? He said, RFK Junior. Basically,
that's another reason why the Dems hate them hate him
is he basically said that the Palestinians are the most
spoiled people on the planet. And he talked about the
per capitist spending on the Palestinian population pales in comparison

(38:45):
to what we spent in World War Two rebuilding Europe.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
All for nothing, Yes, for nothing, because when we spent
the money in Europe, it actually went to.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Rebuilding there you go here.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Any money being spent has been diverted to the terrorists.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
