Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well Greeting's my friends, and welcome to this the well

be here with you today. I want to talk about
in the wake of this government shutdown, USDA has reported
(01:22):
USDA has reported a lot of fraud and a lot
of mismanagement of SNAP, SNAP funds the SNAP program, which
we'll talk about here today. So I've got that in
the stack of stuff. I've also have a story here.
(01:44):
It kind of builds on something we had spoken about
in recent weeks, which is that the Trump administration is
looking to designate and TIFA linked organizations or Antifa linked
groups I should say, as foreign terrorist organizations. And then
(02:05):
time permitting, I want to share results of a survey
that talk about, well, a particular group of people which
I'll identify when we get there, saying that they want
to leave America. Forty percent of this group of people
(02:25):
once says that they want to leave this great nation.
So well, hopefully I'll get there as much as I
can to that. Sometimes it's hard to get to the
final thing in the stack, but we will do our
level best here today, my friends. Before we do that, friends,
if you have a history of high cholesterol in your family,
(02:45):
if you have heart disease, heart issues in your family,

Salty is an all natural supplement that has been clinic
proven by science. The science has spoken and it is
lowered cholesterol for folks. It's good for your heart, and

as well. It's easy to do, it's affordable, it's a
great first step. It's being proactive. You've got nothing to lose,
you know. I know we're all busy, which again is
another reason why to think about these sorts of things.
But we all get busy and distracted and sometimes we
put ourselves on the back burner. This is an instance
(03:49):
that you should consider putting yourself first here taking care
of your heart health. Salty dot com sol t EA
promo code Todd. All right, let's get into this the
main thing I want to talk about today, which is
fraud in the SNAP program. Now, according to the USDA,
(04:11):
and this is based on data from twenty nine states.
Let me pause about that for a minute. Let's let's
establish how we even have this information. So you've got
the USDA, under President Trump, they've requested data from the
states regarding their SNAP program. Right, this is the program
(04:33):
that forty two million people are on This is the
program that was temporarily disrupted, and it was going to
cause massive problems with people being able to apparently well
eat and so and so. There's data on this program,
because when you think of forty two million people out
(04:57):
of what do we have three hundred and forty million
Americans here today? That's less than, of course ten percent,
somewhere around seven percent. I'm just estimating on the math.
Seven percent of the American population is on SNAP, which
is when you get government funds to pay for food.
(05:22):
And the first question I have, and we spent an
episode talking about this. I don't want to spend a
whole lot of time here, but why is that the case?
I remember sharing with you a quote from Ronald Reagan.
I'm going to butcher the quote here unintentionally. I just
don't have it verbatim in front of me. But Reagan
basically said, the best way to determine the success of
(05:44):
a program is people being able to get off of
the program. It's not that you want to have a
more and more people dependent on any type of program.
And again, I don't say this to detegrate or to
put down people who aret. That is not the point
at all. I'm not taking that route. Some people take
that route. Some people assume that everybody who's on these
(06:07):
programs is a lazy, bumb loser who can't take care
of himself. While there are certainly people that fall in
that category, there are others that that don't. This is
not listen. I've encountered people. We've all encountered people who
have been on some sort of program, whether it's a
(06:27):
state program, federal, whatever the program, and there are factors
in life that have created havoc in their in their world,
in their lives. Sometimes those are completely their responsibility. They
just mismanaged things and made some poor decisions. Sometimes it
(06:48):
may be half and half. Sometimes there were circumstances. Sometimes
there are still some mixed in bad decisions, but you
can see that even if there were good choices that
were made, there's still might have been a problem. And
there are some cases, my friends, where there are circumstances.
We just have to be adults and understand nuanced. There
(07:08):
are people sometimes who, through no fault of the room,
through a series of bad circumstances and just you know,
maybe they haven't had time to build up a nest egg.
Maybe they don't live near family. I mean, there's any
number of reasons. It's just it's easy to just cast
a broad net and to say everybody on this program
(07:30):
is either you know, you can take either direction. You
can say everybody has a pure heart and is here
just trying their level best. Or you could say they're
all lazy. That's not Neither one of those are the truth.
It's somewhere in between, and it varies by individual. But
I do know this. I do know that when we
create these programs and we create an entitlement mentality, you're
(07:54):
going to encourage more people to get on these programs.
And that is not a good thing. That is Listen,
I would say, to some extent, this is human nature. Right.
If people realize, hey, I don't have to go out
and work today and I can get whatever the benefit is.
Don't get attached too much to snap here. But whatever
the benefit is here, there's going to be a certain
(08:16):
number of people that try to take advantage of the program.
And listen, I don't understand why this is so hard
to believe. I find myself in utter amazement at people
who think that we've got this all figured out. I'm thinking,
have you been to the local post office and listen,
I'm not trying to pick on postal workers. There's great
(08:38):
postal workers too. But again, when the environment is not
one that has to deal with direct competition, when you
don't have to compete for customers, when there are no
forces that make you be efficient, keep your prices down,
or the customer is going to go somewhere else, bad
things just happen. Right. It becomes a bureaucratic mess, it
(09:02):
becomes something that is not as efficient as it could be.
There's no motivation or incentive to get better. Listen, that's
just the way that it is. It's just the way
that it is. One of the reasons why my step
on toes here, I don't listen, I don't care. This
is just what I think. It's one of the reasons
why it's really hard to learn about capitalism in a
(09:25):
public school setting because the whole system, the whole system
is not really based upon what happens in the rest
of the free market and the rest of the free
you know, the capitalistic market. There's all these rules and
there's all of these you know, you get paid based
upon how many years you have a degree, how many
(09:47):
years you've been serving, how many degrees you have, and
then you look at the table and you say, well,
this is what you make. But see, in my world,
I mean, think about this. I come on this program.
There's other people that have podcasts and radio shows and
so forth. I come on this program. It doesn't matter
how long I've done this other than does it make
(10:08):
me better at doing it? Does it make it more informative,
more entertaining, does it make it more educational, does it
make it more optimistic and energizing. If I've used my
experience to improve my skill set, then the final product
is better, which is what you the listener, are looking for.
And so it doesn't matter how many years I've done.
(10:31):
What matters is how I've used those years to refine
my skill and improve my craft so that it's a
better product. And the public school system doesn't do anything
that way. In fact, they have crazy rules. In fact,
we were just talking. There was an incident here in
our local school system where there was apparently a fight
(10:54):
in the hallways, some kids that jumped another girl and
heard her pretty badly, and some of our friends were
there as this transpired, and I asked my girls who
knew some of these other girls that watched this go down.
I said, why didn't they do something? And they said, well,
if they would have gotten involved, they would have gotten
(11:17):
in trouble. As though stopping a fight is the same
thing as causing a fight. It's like we've lost all
since because and this is what happens. This is what
happens in a bureaucracy. I know it. Listen, I've been
on a school board. It's been a long time ago,
but I understand. You have these things that are brought
to you, and you try to develop policies and procedures
(11:39):
so that you have a fair way. I don't like
I say that that's the four letter F word, but
you have a fair quote unquote way of dealing with
these similar sorts of things in the future. And so
you say, well, let's just have a zero tolerance policy
on fighting. There was a time when I thought, yeah,
that makes sense, but it doesn't makes sense because if
(12:02):
you're getting the tar kicked out of you and you
can't fight back, or you're going to get the same
punishment as the folks who are the ones who are
targeting you, it just doesn't make any sense. And there's
rules on top of rules on top of rules. And
it happens in big corporations too. By the way, these
sorts of things don't happen so much in the entrepreneurial
(12:24):
environment that I find myself in, because each time you
have to think listen, I have to get to ex objective.
I have to figure this out. There's different, different circumstances.
I've got the other problem, which is sometimes it's hard
to develop rules when you look at everything as though
it's a case by case basis, and so I understand
(12:46):
how you get there, but you end up creating a monster.
And that's what happens with these programs. So the federal
government USDA has requested information from states on SNAP recipients.
Now they've gotten data from twenty nine of them, twenty
one of them. There's fifty states. That leaves twenty one.
I know Obama said there were fifty seven. There are
(13:07):
not There's only fifty. But nonetheless, there are twenty one
states that haven't reported. I'll let you guess if the
Republican led states have given their numbers or the Democrat
led states have given their numbers. Of course you all know,
you all know the answer. To that for the Trump administration.
The Republican led states have given the information to the administration.
(13:30):
The Democrat led states have it. So think about some
of the bigger and bluer states. We don't have their information.
What I'm about to tell you is their information is
not included here because they didn't participate. They didn't participate
with the federal government. And by the way, ask yourself,
why why didn't they participate? See I would say, are
they content or I at least asked this question. Are
(13:53):
they content with having fraud and waste and abuse in
this program if it helps to produce people who are
well reliant upon the government, dependent upon the government, so
that they vote for the people who make these programs
available to them. I think that's sickening, by the way,
(14:15):
but this is how many people play the game. So
here's what we know. Twenty one states overwhelmingly Democrat. They've
refused to give their data, citing privacy, legal concerns, probably federalism.
It's the one time they care about federalism. If they
can obstruct a legitimate thing that's trying to reign in waste, fraud,
(14:35):
and abuse from a federal program that's suddenly the point
in time where Democrats care about federalism. So we have
data from twenty nine states. They're Republican led states, by
and large. They have found that approximately five thousand people
who are dead are still receiving SNAP. They're still listed,
(14:58):
I should say, this is just initial information coming out,
still listed as recipients of SNAP benefits over file. Listen
to this, over five hundred thousand duplicate entries. That means
that the same person appears twice or more in the
(15:20):
SNAP system. So five thousand deceased individuals, five hundred thousand
duplicate entries. And you can and just a little over
half the states reporting. Some of the bigger states not
included in here, like California for example. So this matters
(15:42):
again because we've only got roughly half the data and
it's obvious that there's massive problems with the program. Now,
why don't people on the left care about this? This
is a question that is absolutely wild to me. And
this is where I think when you step into the
(16:03):
political world, some people turn off the way that their
brain operates in every day life. You know, I've said
on this program, and I stand by this, that eighty
percent of the people in this country would agree with
eighty percent of the things that we say on this show.
Now that might be slightly hyperbolic, slightly exaggerated, but there's
(16:27):
a really, there's a core truth there that is spot
on accurate. People in this country agree with conservative principles
and concepts, just like people in this country realize you
have to live within your financial means. You cannot operate
your household like the federal government operates its metaphorical household here.
(16:52):
You can't do it. It's impossible, It makes so little sense.
Not a single person believes it. But what happens is
some people think, well, when you get to that level,
it functions differently. Why why do you think that? Why
do you think that everything, all the sense, all the logic,
(17:15):
all the reason, all the good old fashioned truth that
you've learned throughout your life that applies to everything else,
Why does it stop at the feet of the federal government.
We don't even expect our states to live in a
fantasy world. And see, the states don't live they do
in some degree if it's a leftist state. But states
(17:36):
have to live within some degree of reality because they
cannot print their own money. That's part of the problem
with the federal government. I remember and you'll remember this too.
One of the solutions that has been proposed for eliminating
our federal debt is to have some sort of rare
(18:01):
mineral or something that's just has some value, but it's
really hard to measure the government just putting a value
of it. Say it's twenty trillion dollars, that's where twenty
trillion dollars, we're going to donate it to the treasury,
and that wipes away twenty trillion dollars of our debt.
Except for that's not how this works. That is not
(18:22):
living in a world of reality. And the truth is.
The truth is when we this monetary system that we
have all the problems that you have with the Fiat
money system. I don't want to get into that, but
the bottom line is, if you're producing the money that's
created by the government has to reflect real value created
(18:47):
in the economy. That money is a representation of real
value that's been created. The government's always producing a little
bit more money than actual value. That's why we have inflation.
That is the definition in fact of inflation. Inflation is
not just the cost of things going up. It's the
cost of things going up because we've diluted the money
(19:09):
supply by creating an excess of money. We've created more
dollar bills, so to speak, than the economy has produced
value that equates to those dollar bills. And so turns
out that everything in nature, including the economy, seeks an equilibrium,
seeks to to find that balance that's rooted in the
(19:30):
factors of reality that impact, in this case, the economy.
And so that's what happens. And why would we think,
why would we think that these things cease to matter
when we get to the level of our federal government.
I would say that that's one of the mentalities, that's
one of the main mentalities that's gotten us into this
(19:51):
mess to begin with. Of course, there's waste, fraud, and
abuse in every federal program, in every state program. But
why on earth are we so some people so resistant
to accepting that reality. There are people that pop into
my head right now as I say those things that
would immediately question these numbers. But they haven't questioned the
(20:17):
numbers that have been told them by our federal government
for the past half century. They've taken those at face value.
But Todd Trump lies Trump and his administration, they lie. Well,
my friends, what if we've been lied to all along
by people in our government. I think there's a lot
of evidence to suggests that's exactly what's been happening. We
(20:40):
haven't had adults running the show. We've had people that
have told us what we want to hear so that
they can get reelected, so that their lives can be easier,
so that they can accumulate more power, so they can
invest more in these stocks, which, by the way, that's
a whole other conversation to have. How these politicians show
(21:01):
up in Washington, DC, sometimes without a whole lot of money,
and then after being in DC for some period of time,
they're all millionaires, which is Listen, I've got no problem
with people being a millionaire or even a billionaire. What
I've got problem with are people who use their position
and the authority they have to create personal value for
(21:25):
themselves instead of taking care of the American people and
doing what's best for the constituents and citizens and taxpayers
of this country. But that's not what's been happening. Of course,
there's problems in the SNAP program, my friends. It should
not come as a surprise to anybody. So, but I'll
(21:46):
leave that as it is. I'm going to prepare now
to shift gears as we get into the next segment
here of this program. But, my friends, maybe you've reached
that stage where managing your money feels more like juggling
than just actually dealing with numbers. You've got things like
tax planning, you got things like a state work, you
(22:08):
have investment choices, a whole lot more. That's when Familyoffice

(22:55):
My friends, quick time out here for the program. We'll
be back in just a minute. Just a Key Moore
thoughts on what we were talking about before I shift
gears and talk about President Trump's administration looking to designate
antife linked groups as foreign terrorist organizations. I just want
(23:16):
to talk really quickly here just about this this trust,
this blind trust that's put into government. I've always I've
always wondered, how on earth, how on earth somebody can
have so many bad things to say about corporations. Look,
(23:41):
I'm not here to defend corporations. I'm not here. You
may have seen I've been impacted by this one. You
might have been too. Disney versus YouTube, Right, So so
we've got YouTube TV has had ABC and ESPN pulled
from uh from YouTube TV. I have a YouTube TV subscription.
(24:05):
Disney owns ESPN and ABC. Google owns YouTube and so
there's a fight here. There's a fight over contracts and
paying for you know, to have ESPN their lineup and
all this sort of stuff, and it's it's a mess.
I don't get into it very often. I had a
friend this was before the government shutdown ended. He asked me,
(24:28):
will the government shut down end first? Or will the
dispute between YouTube and ABC ESPN end first? Of course
we know the answer to that. The government shutdown ended first.
But it's a mess. I'm not here to defend either corporation.
I think that what's happened with televised sports, especially the
(24:49):
National Football League is absolutely insane. What we've allowed to
happen there. You know, you can have NFL Sunday Ticket,
you can have a subscription to Hulu or YouTube, you
can have ESPN Plus. You can have all these different
things and still not see all of these all of
these games. In fact, I think I saw someone said
(25:12):
they had a subscription to YouTube TV, they had NFL
Sunday Ticket, and they had ESPN Plus and they couldn't
watch the Monday night football game. You would figure ESPN
Plus would put the football game on. I don't know
how that works, but I would figure out a way.
If half of the people out there with a YouTube
subscription YouTube TV subscription can't watch the games, some of
(25:35):
them are going to come and watch it on your platform.
If they have a ESPN Plus. That's a paid for service,
But you couldn't watch the games. At least that's my understanding.
Maybe I'm wrong. I don't have a subscription to stupid
ESPN Plus. I'm overpaying for all this stuff. It's it's
absurd what has to happen here. And so I'm not
saying corporations are the example because this is what happens.
(25:59):
These are the sorts of fights and things that happened.
But the people, here's the thing. People hate these executives
that run these corporations. And sometimes that anger might be justified,
maybe many times it's justified. That's not justified to the
to the level of what this lunatic Luigi did by
(26:20):
killing the health insurance executive. By no stretch of the
imagination is that acceptable. But I understand people being angry
at the way these corporations are run, especially with the
cost of everything today. But what it's amazing to me
the second if you notice the people. Certainly there are
people who have been in government their entire lives, but
sometimes there are people that are brought over from the
(26:42):
private sector that used to work for the dark side,
and then they're appointed a position in the federal government.
And I've asked my liberal forensis what happened. What happened
in your mind to when when this guy was a
CEO of X y Z Corporation, he was the worst
thing on playing earth, and now suddenly he works for
the federal government and everything he tells you is absolutely believable.
(27:09):
He can do no wrong. He suddenly is working for
altruistic motives. And I think that there's something in the
minds of people that say, if you work for the government,
you have pure motives. And I understand maybe wanting to
believe that I've shared with you on this program. There
was a time when I thought all of our elected
(27:31):
officials cared about this. I couldn't understand, as a young
twenty something guy, why someone would want want to remake
this country into something that it wasn't. I couldn't understand
people who didn't love this nation. I was a kid
that grew up. I was born in the very late seventies,
but I grew up in the eighties. That's my formative years.
(27:53):
I mean, that was the years when Top Gun first
came out. That's when I mean Reagan was president. Eighties
were a great time to be alive. That's back when
the TV shows, the cartoons that I watched Gi Joe,
there was good versus evil. He Man, there was good
versus evil. That's how we grew up. I remember watching
(28:14):
Tour of Duty as a kid. I remember watching movies
like Red Dawn. I remember the Communists were the bad guys.
The American the freedom loving Americans were the good guys,
and I loved my country. And I remember I've shared
with you. I remember raising the flag at school as
a little kid. We used to do that every day.
Put the flag up, put the flag down, fold it up,
(28:36):
all that stuff. I don't know what happens today. They're
taught in some cases to hate this country. But I
did not understand how people hated this country and wanted
to remake it as something it was not. I I
don't know. I was born and raised in smalltown USA.
Maybe it was different from other people, four other people.
I don't know, but it didn't seem like it certainly
(28:59):
certainly wasn't as it is today, which that actually leads
into well I want to talk about in the final segment,
but just really quickly, in the time we have available here.
In the second segment, Trump administration is looking to designate
ANTIFA linked groups as foreign terrorist organizations. US officials have
officially designated four Antifa aligned extremist groups in Europe as
(29:24):
foreign terrorist organizations, also called ftos. We know the government
has to have acronyms for all this stuff, but these ftos,
these groups were connected to violent actions, cross border coordination,
and extremist networks. This follows, of course, the earlier designations
of antifa as a violent extremist ideology. So now there's
(29:48):
debate on this. The left will tell you, the left
will tell you antifa doesn't even exist. The left will
tell you antifa is an idea. The left will tell
you it's in the name. Anti stands for anti fascists.
They're standing against the fascists. How can antifa be bad
because they have a name that says they're anti fascist.
(30:08):
The level of superficiality and just stupidity to believe that
is crazy. How many bills go through Congress that have
a name that has nothing to do with what actually
is in the bill. Remember we had in the Biden years,
we had the Inflation Reduction Act. That's what we had,
(30:29):
the Inflation Reduction Act. If you read the Congressional Budget
Offices report found that in the first couple of years,
inflation would actually increase in the Inflation Reduction Act, and
then over the course of what was remaining of the
next ten years, it would effectively level out, and at
(30:49):
the end of the process it would be basically a
wash on inflation. It wouldn't have impacted inflation at all
by their own CBO scoring system. That's what was determined.
But yet we still called this thing the Inflation Reduction Act.
And then you can get out there, if you're in
the media, and you can harp on the Republicans, why
would you not vote for the Inflation Reduction Act? Do
(31:11):
you want high inflation? Shouldn't you vote for low the
Inflation Reduction Act? If you're out here saying that you're
in favor of low inflation, doesn't it make sense? No,
it actually doesn't make sense because the one option that
never crosses people's minds in the media, oftentimes people on
the left, is that the naming, the nomenclature, the names
(31:33):
of these bills, what groups are called, actually are not
rooted in reality whatsoever they're done. These things are done
for manipulative purposes. It's done for propaganda purposes. It's not
rooted in reality. It's not based in reality at all.
Yet this works on so many people. Antifa is not
(31:54):
an unified organization, So why are we targeting Antifa? Well,
you know why we're targeting Antifa. You know who Antifa is.
They may not have a hierarchy chart that you can
find on a website, but we know that there's coordination
between these groups. We know that they believe the same thing. Namely,
(32:14):
they believe that this nation is evil, that capitalism needs
to be destroyed, and that they are justified in intimidating you,
dare I say, acts of terrorism to get the political
response that they want for their political ideology. And kudos
to Trump for going after these groups. This is the
sort of stuff that is the beginning of some massive
(32:38):
problems that we have in this nation today. These things
have to be stopped. I have to stop too, as
I'm getting here to the end of this segment, and
I do want to shift gears one more time today.
I'm going to get to all three of the things
that I told Joe's going to get to today, or
do my level best to so one more shifting of
the gears into the last segment. Friends, there is a
(33:01):
lot of confusion about Creatim. You've read the headlines, You've
heard some bad things about kretim, but most of those
things are based on synthetic junk that isn't real kreatim
at all. Real kreatim is natural. It's test that it's
handled with care. That's what you get from Christopher's Organic Botanicals.
They are a family run the company. They partner directly
(33:23):
with farmers in Indonesia. Every batch of Kretim they get
is tested for purity, for safety. There's no chemicals, no fillers,
no shortcuts, none of that. This is just a trusted
herbal option that's been used for generations and it is
a real alternative for people looking for something that does
not come with a warning label that's a mile long.

(34:51):
let's talk about something important really quickly. Your money, my friends.
You worked hard for it, but is it working hard

out companies that do not align with your faith, your values,
and they'll help create a plan that fits your goals
(35:15):
and your purpose. The best part is that they'll actually
show you if your current investments align with your values
or probably better said, to what degree they line up
with your faith and your values. All you have to
do is take a quick and easy assessment for eightfinancial

I did it, my friends. You can do it too.

information that shows you to what degree your current investments
are actually in agreement with your values for eight financial
(36:00):
helping you align your money with your mission. All right,
last thing I want to get to today. Last thing
I want to get to. Gallup did a survey and
now I'm going to tell you here off the top,
forty percent of this group of people said that they
(36:20):
want to permanently move to another country if they could.
And I want you to pause and to think about
what this group of people might be. Who this group
of people might be. Now I saw this in Breitbart,
I believe. And there's an acronym. I don't know if
(36:41):
Breitbart created this, or if I think it was Breitbart
it might it's in the stack of stuff or if
this was the actual just the code or whatever, but
it's it's AWFL, which ironically stands for awful. I'm not
(37:01):
saying it stands for awful, but it looks like awful AWFL.
What does AWFL stand for? Well, I'm glad you asked.
That stands for affluent. That's the A, whit, that's the W,
female is the F and L is liberal, so white
(37:24):
liberal affluent women, which again I prefer affluent white female
liberals because that forms the acronym awful, which have a
sense of humor. Take it easy. I'm not literally calling
you awful, but I will say this, the mentality of
(37:44):
this group is largely awful. Forty percent they want to leave.
Forty percent of US women aged fifty to fifteen to
forty four in that group say that they'd permanently move
to another country if they could. That number just ten
years ago in twenty fourteen. So eleven years ago was
(38:05):
ten percent, or approximately ten percent. That means that the
number has quadrupled. For young men, the number is about
twenty it's nineteen percent, so it's half of that. So
what is it? What is it that's fueling this? You know,
we have this the most technologically advanced culture, civilization, and history.
(38:32):
We have a lot of things right the people. You
can pursue your dreams, you can get an education, you
can start a business, You can do a lot of
things in this country. What is so terrible about this?
Analysts attribute this to cultural dissatisfaction, political disillusionment. I think
(38:54):
that's a huge part of it. Economic pressure, loss of
national idea, identity or meaning, erosion of trust in institutions. Listen,
I understand right that if you've been told your whole
life that there's a war on women. You've been told
(39:14):
your whole life that all men are rapists, which some
people teach this crap. Listen, I'm not saying obviously some are,
but the idea, just some of the garbage that's been taught,
some of the things that's believed in this nation is
absolutely astonishing to me. And then I listen, I've listened,
(39:36):
and there's kind of these two subcultures that are developing
with younger women. You've got the traditional wives, the trad
wives that are out there who say that they want
to stay home, support their husband, you know, be a
submissive wife, take care of the family, the kids. And
then you've got the group of the feminists that are
still out there who say they don't need a man,
(39:57):
they don't want a man, they can do everything a
man can do. And you've got this class of cultures.
In fact, you've got a lot of people in the
dating scene. Look, we've got one son and two daughters.
Our son is on a little trip today. I don't
have much timer. But basically I always thought I knew
(40:18):
I would be protective of my daughters. But I have
to tell you, I'm almost more worried for my son
to date than my daughters. That's not entirely true, but
there is some truth in this because I've listened to
some of these things these women say, and how they
think that the man's job, this is this specific group
of women, is to meet all of her expectations. She's
gonna do nothing. You better be six foot two, make
(40:41):
six hundred thousand dollars a year. Just crazy stuff, and
it feels this disillusionment. There's a lot more to it,
but I gotta go. SDG
