Simple solution, the beneficiary liquidity plan. Use money you already
have no need to come up with additional funds. The
funds wrote tax deferred and pass tax free to your
name beneficiaries. The death benefit is paid out in twenty
four to forty eight hours out a deficitator your every

You ask. It's a permanent indexed universal life insurance that's
totally liquid and easily accessible once it matures. Can be
used to supplement retirement savings or a death benefit, or both.
Has no income or contribution limit. Has no five year rule.
Like Roth, Iras has no ten percent penalty for accessing
the funds before age fifty nine and a half. Oh
(05:08):
and the average historical returns are five to seven percent annually.
Tax freight. Super Roths also lock in gains, which means
you don't lose your money when the market is down.

Speaker 13 (05:47):
And now it's time for a brand new show on KCAA,
The Uncommon Sense Democrat with your host Eric Bauman, a
show about politics and contemporary issues. And now here's Eric Bauman.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On a cloudy, rainy
Wednesday afternoon, my visibility is limited to I don't know,
maybe fifty feet and it's not very pleasant and the
(06:23):
rain is intermittent. But when it starts, man, it starts.
So I'm joined today in a special show by Professor
Rona Blaker, who is We're going to have like an
open house talking about what's going on in Washington and
(06:48):
in around the world. How are you, Rona?
Speaker 14 (06:54):
Oh very well, thank you for having me here.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I wish I could say I felt very well. These
creeps in Washington just do me in. I mean, they
zapped my energy so fast.
Speaker 14 (07:18):
It's hard to keep up.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, that's it. You know, I had thoughts about where
I would go at the show today, and all of
a sudden, now I see the latest is advanced. The
Vice President says judges, federal judges don't have any right
to tell them what to do. Oh my goodness, I
(07:45):
guess he never studied the separation of powers. I mean,
you and I both scanned an article that talks about
this very issue, and I think it's damn scary.
Speaker 14 (08:09):
It's absolutely terrifying. I mean, this has been part of
our constitution since the beginning, and it feels like it's
well like a tyranny is as the article defined it,
it's we judges are are there for a reason and
(08:29):
to keep the other bridges instead, that's just not happening.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, And these guys are as they choose to ignoring
these court rulings or not, and they think they can
do whatever the hell they want to do. They think
that they think that it's all about them, them, and
(09:03):
they don't understand. They don't seem to understand that there's
a whole constitutional government that wasn't built around them. I'm
hearing sirens and I don't know if that's outside or
if that's coming off one of the televisions.
Speaker 14 (09:21):
That's Oh, I hope it's not near you.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, we don't usually hear sirens. I'm curious. So that's it.
So I wanted to start out by talking about these
nominations that Trump has made for these various offices. You
realize that all these psycho that psychos that he's proposed,
(09:53):
the only major one that's still there is RFK Junior.
While he may be in some ways the most dangerous
of all. Taulsy Gabard got confirmed yesterday.
Speaker 14 (10:09):
That one surprised me very much. I don't think she
has the qualifications for the job, which doesn't seem to matter.
We'll talk about the Department of Education as well, I hope,
but she she doesn't have the qualifications he has been
(10:29):
suspected of. I mean, you know how I feel about
Hilbart content. To me, everything she says is gospel, and
she didn't believe that Tulsi Gabbered Gabard was loyal to
the United States. And now we have a president who's
on the phone that's footing for ninety minutes and planning
to go to Moncow. I don't know, it's been three weeks.
(10:56):
It's been three weeks, and I think we're in a
practice a crisis.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Why Yeah, no, No, I think that's correct, no matter what,
no matter what anybody says, I think that's correct. I
think that's correct. As I was. Here's the strange thing.
(11:21):
You know, when I was working on a similar list
or Clinton or Brock or George w Right, I could
always say, well, they want to do this, they want
to do that. All I can say with this character
is he's against the federal judges, he's against the Democrats,
(11:47):
he's against the environment, he's in favor of closing the
consumer financial program. I mean, what's what this guy? So?
Why now? The Department of Education, that's the knowles for
the Department.
Speaker 14 (12:04):
Of Education is, as you can imagine, very disturbing to me.
Education is my main focused every single day. I see
so many students in the especially the past two years
since the pandemic, who are struggling and need help, and
(12:28):
they want to cut the Department of Education, which I
assume means cutting money the schools will get from the
federal government. That's going to lead larger class sizes. The
number one indicator of student success, no matter what kind
of school they go to, is class sized. So we
(12:49):
should be doing everything to make final size smaller so
that teaching can become more effective.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
When I was in the first, second, third grade and
went to public school, and I was failing out miserably.
I mean that seriously. I was fighting with my classmates,
I mean all kinds of stuff. When I went off
to military school and suddenly I had ten, twelve, thirteen
(13:20):
students in my class. Suddenly I became a straight a student, right,
So I said, what the hell you know? Why is
this so different? Is the curriculum easier? No, actually the
curriculum was harder. But my grandma go ahead, But I.
Speaker 14 (13:43):
Bet it was more difficult. I had an experience with
my two children where one of them went to a
school where she was really she was very interested in science,
but I'm always trying to encourage young women to be
interested in them subjects, and she was excited about taking
chemistry and she got to her chemistry class, and I
am not exaggerating in any way, there were eighty students
(14:04):
in her class.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I can tell you that in my first grade,
second and third grade classes there were forty to forty
two students.
Speaker 14 (14:16):
That is twice as many, at least as.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
When I got when I got to military, when I
got to Military school, and I had thirteen class nights,
whole different ball of wax man.
Speaker 14 (14:32):
Oh. When Lily was in that class with eighty students,
they did not do a single experiment all year. My
son went to a different school, filler to you, where
he had about thirteen or fifty. It's in a class
they did an experiment every week.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, I mean, by the way, as did we.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
Yeah, of course, of course, And it is absolutely related
to the class side. There's been so much research about this. Yeah,
So did you think that anybody could be worse than.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I can't imagine. I can't imagine writing a list about
Clinton or Obama or Bush and having to put everything
in the negative. I can't ever say that it was
Clinton versus the federal judges, or Clinton versus the Democrats,
(15:48):
or Clinton versus the environment. That's not how Clinton was.
It was.
Speaker 14 (15:58):
It wasn't even think Shelby Bush was in terms of
the tenor of his rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, notwithstanding his rhetoric, you know, yeah, I mean, now
you're having to have federal judges order the Trump administration
to restore health data and health information to the Department's websites.
(16:34):
Could you imagine what would happen if RFK Junior was
the secretary?
Speaker 14 (16:42):
I unfortunately, I can imagine. I worry about so much.
One of the things I really worry about is just
the way that he's subdiction about vaccine. And I know
people in my community who have heard some of these
(17:06):
rumors and having gotten their kids vaccinated. And the last,
the one I worry about, because it's those few pages,
is meaningful. Why don't we want to protect our children
from becoming ill? I remember getting month when I was
a child, and that was that was very painful, and
(17:29):
that can also lead, as I'm sure you know, to
sterilization from men. Why do we want to put our
children through that?
Speaker 15 (17:37):
I I.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Don't.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
I feel like you must have had a very difficult life.
But his cousin, Caroline, her father, was also as fascinated
and Susans to make a meaningful life for herself. People
make choices.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So if the Department of Education closes, tell us, tell
my audience what that would mean for them and their children.
Speaker 14 (18:14):
Well, there are seven and a half million children in
the United States who have some form of learning different
and we used to call that a disability, and we
know these days now that some children just learn differently
from others. And that's another place where the class size
(18:36):
matters because differences can be folded into a smaller class.
And many of those students have an IEP and individual
education program that is tailored to them and make sure
that their needs are mets and there are meetings once
a semester to make sure that everything is progressing as expected.
(19:00):
And those programs have made such a difference in the
lives of so many children. And I if the funding
will be there for those programs if if the department
is closed down.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, no, I think that's trivia is them.
Speaker 14 (19:22):
It's it's massive to every family who has a child
who needs that that kind of assistance. And you know
who else needs assistance in our educational system and doesn't
get it yet?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Me?
Speaker 14 (19:39):
You are you need you need all kinds of help
from all of your good press. But you know what
another class of students that gets neglected, Well, I can
think of too. Actually, well, the first one I'm thinking
of is children who are really right, children who are
(19:59):
re we really are I'm interested in school, don't get
what they need. And and children who are artistically talented
and have the talents in music, talents in art, well,
I mean art. Now we have president. It's going to
(20:21):
be the president of the Kennedy Center. I can't get
over that one either. I've seen so many wonderful plays
and concerts there at the Kennedy Center, and I don't
know what we're going to have now.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I could tell you, but I can't say it on
terrestrial radio. Book. I when I went from public school
to military school and my grades suddenly suddenly shot up. Mmm.
My grand mother, the teacher librarian, said, what happened was
(21:07):
they were teaching to the lowest common denominator. Of course, yeah,
they were teaching to the lowest common denominators. So he
was bored. So he was arguing and fighting, and that's
just what it was. And you know, and you know
(21:27):
what my grandmother, Bessie was, as I've talked about on
this show periodically was as looney as could be. But
one thing she knew was education, right, and here we are.
Speaker 14 (21:49):
And looney, what was lou about?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
It?
Speaker 14 (21:52):
Was she the woman who cared about girls getting an
education and getting the jobs.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, she was great, all right? She would she would,
she would come home from a school and fall down
on the sofa and say, I'm killed, I'm dead, I'm finished.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
You know what.
Speaker 14 (22:12):
I might have had some days like that.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, well I think I've got a few in my life,
so believe me. But you know what, I picked my
butt up off the sofa and found something that I
could do that was interesting, and I did it.
Speaker 14 (22:32):
Yes, you did?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You know? I was doing those history and physical exams,
which I loved till I really till my condition really deteriorated,
or if I say it in the proper an improper language,
till they deteriorated. But what I started to say is,
(23:02):
and I'll go back to it while we still have
a couple of minutes. I could never imagine writing a
program about Clinton or Obama or George W where everything
(23:22):
was in the negative. What are they against? What are
they against? What are they against? So like right now,
my list, my side list. So I have some notes
about what to talk about today. Trump versus the federal judges,
Trump versus the Democrats, Trump versus the environment, closure of
(23:44):
the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, closure the Department of Education.
What kind of a history is that? And then he's
going to dare to talk about a third term. He's
seventy two already, the same age Biden was.
Speaker 14 (24:08):
Think he might even older than that. But how can
you have a third term? You can't have a third term?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
No he can't, Well he can't. But remember they don't
respect the constitution, right.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
But just look here, seventy eight years old.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh, seventy eight years old, he's the oldest.
Speaker 14 (24:31):
Person to ever take office, and this times have a
third term. I mean, don't you think that that if
he tries to have a third term that there will
be a revolution in this country?
Speaker 16 (24:47):
I don't.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
I mean yeah, since weeks and so some of us
don't know how to how to fight back yet. But
somebody has to show us. I don't know who that person.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Will be, but well, we better get ourselves prepared and
start fight because about two years, we've got two years
to take back to Congress, or at least the House
of the Congress. Right, you know, if we can take
back at least one house of the Congress other than
(25:27):
his nominees, we can stem me most of this crap, right,
nominees and judges, No, but everything else. Yeah, because that's
kind of work.
Speaker 14 (25:41):
And maybe by the time that two years is before,
we'll go buy in a flush, maybe people will understand
that he did not keep his promises and that they
voted against their own interests. I cannot believe how many
people have voted against their own interests in this Department
of Education is for me, a big example of that.
(26:01):
How many of those seven and a half million parents,
that's the parents voted for Trump and are now they're
not going to get what they need for their Trumps.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
When I when Hillary was running, I asked a non
partisan group. I asked the members, why are you voting
against your own interests? Why are you voting for these
rich guys? And the answer that I got was because
(26:38):
I want to be like them, and if I wipe
them out, then it won't be there for me. Wow.
Because you know, part of it was a lot of
these folks came from small towns, came from small towns
(27:01):
where their families and their friends controlled everything from the
chief of police and the chief of fire to the
mayor to the city council. And it's really a scary thought.
Speaker 14 (27:18):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, we're getting close to our clothes. We have a
couple of minutes left before we have to go to
break anything else you want to throw out there in
the first half.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
Oh, well, there are so many other things I want
to talk about.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Maybe when we come back we can we have another
We have another half an hour.
Speaker 14 (27:48):
Right, okay, so we'll talk about the international.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah issues as well.
Speaker 14 (27:57):
We have lots to see an end to the war
in Ukraine and people buying, but what is the price
going to be?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
All right? Well for him, he was asked an interesting
question this morning, do you consider Ukraine an equal partner
in the negotiations? And Trump's response was, that's an interesting question.
(28:27):
I have to think about it.
Speaker 14 (28:30):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That follows on him saying yesterday No, it doesn't.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
And because he's gonna carry up the pootin no matter what.
Speaker 14 (28:54):
Yes, And I don't understand that. I didn't understand it
the first time around, and I really don't understand it now.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Because it makes him feel go ahead, I.
Speaker 14 (29:10):
Think it's what you just said. So you asked those
voters and they said, I want to be like him.
I think he wants to be like Sutin. I think
it's just a sane reaction.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I have that.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Power that Sutan has where nobody questions him, and anybody
who does question him literally gets thrown out of a window.
And Trump looks around and he realizes, you can't throw
anybody out of a window yet. But I guess you
(29:46):
could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and murder
someone and still get elected.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Right. Well, not twenty said, all right, my dear, we're
down to the last minute. We're down to the last minute. Necessari,

three months.

Dix's Auto Records. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. It's Eric
common hosts of the Uncommon Sense Democrat right here on
NBC Radio CASECA. I am joined by Professor Ronald Blaker,
and uh, we have a lot to go in a
(33:56):
very short time. We're talking about what's going on in
Washington and what's going on in around the world. So, Ronald,
we've been talking mostly about what's going on in the US.
But what about this nonsense with Trump beginning negotiations with Putin?
(34:25):
But he doesn't even mention Ukraine in the conversation.
Speaker 14 (34:30):
And apparently doesn't believe that that Ukraine believes it should
have a should have a voice at the at the table.
That's so autocratic. I'm sure that Ukraine would be happy
to have some piefa. Asad was saying before the breaks,
what is the price going to be for them. Yeah,
(34:53):
something is going to give away. I mean, this is
a man who says he's gonna take over Gaza and
why Greenland. I don't know what the price is going
to be for Ukraine. And I'm very worried for the
Ukrainian people because if he gives Ukraine back to Russia,
(35:15):
that's just going to embolden Suitan two to do more actives.
Look like like.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Right, well, I'll just tell you for what it's worth.
I heard one of the Republicans in Congress say this
morning that Greenland should be renamed TrumpLand, Oh my goodness,
what do they think the people of Greenland they're going
(35:46):
to do? Just sit here and take it. Maybe maybe
they will. Maybe they'll just sit here and take it.
Speaker 14 (35:57):
I would be very surprised if that were the case.
I'd be very surprised if Denmark allowed it to happen.
I'd be surprised if Denmark's the Allies allowed it to happen.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Now, well, we can come back to Russia and Ukraine.
Here's the one. I'm personally more worried about Gaza and Israel.
And now Trump has decided that he wants to throw
all the Goslins all the Palestinians off to some other
(36:36):
country that doesn't want them.
Speaker 14 (36:41):
And yeah, he wants to send them to come to
Jordans and to Egypt and Jordan and Egypt does not
want them to come there. Two million people.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Okay, So now.
Speaker 14 (36:58):
He's threatening because the cold eight from those countries. That's
called strong army. That's not all in America.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Wait a minute, what did you say? It was called.
Speaker 14 (37:13):
Strong army?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh, strong army? Okay, strong army?
Speaker 14 (37:20):
Is that that's the word, right?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yes, I just didn't hear it clearly. Yeah, Well, the
Gaza thing is just absurd. If he wants he wants
to turn Gaza into quote the regal international what's the
(37:51):
word I want? Not because uh yeah, resort for the whole,
for the whole. Yeah, like the revere of the Middle East.
And there are some other Middle East countries that are
not so happy without who they think that's their job. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (38:20):
I don't understand why if we want put a lot
of money into Gaza, we wouldn't put that money into
giving jobs to people to help rebuild their home rather
than telling them to get out. Yeo, I mean clearly.
(38:45):
I mean Hamas was an elected government there Hamas needs.
Speaker 16 (38:48):
To be.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Gone.
Speaker 14 (38:53):
But not every person who lives in Gaza is a
member of.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
We need Commas, yeah right, not every members a member
of Commas.
Speaker 14 (39:08):
I mean it would be nice. What what was so terrible?
Everything was so terrible, But one of the most terrible
things about October seventh was that the people who were
murdered and kidnapped were people who were helping the people
of Gaza. They were driving them to medical appointments in Israel,
(39:29):
they were bringing them food. They were trying to create
peace between their piblt sing and the people who lived
in Gaza, one person at a time. And then Hamas
came in and murdered and raped and killed and kidnapped
those people. And so of course there was an enormous
(39:53):
amount of anger. But that psychle is going to continue
and continue and continue until we can find a way
to live peacefully, side by side with other people. It
has happened, not perfect, but it happened in South Africa. Oh,
(40:14):
I know, we should put Elon Musk in charge of.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
It, Jesus, Chris.
Speaker 14 (40:21):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Elon Musk is the character all onto his own, Okay.
He doesn't care about anything other than himself and his
bottom line exactly, and that's where it is. And he
doesn't care about any of these countries. He doesn't care
(40:46):
about the US. He cares about what he cares about,
which is him, all right. So he wants to turn
Gaza into this paradise, but the locals don't want it,
the Jordanians. I mean, I can tell you forty years
(41:10):
ago I worked with a Jordaanian cardiologist, an outstanding guy,
who when I said to him, well, there's all these
Palestinians who need a place to go, why doesn't Jordans
take any more of them? And the guy said to me,
because they've got almost half of our country now. Think
(41:35):
about that, they've got almost half of his country now.
And that was forty years ago. Yeah, I know, I
have to be careful how I say these things. But
it's real, Yes.
Speaker 14 (41:55):
It absolutely is real. And they can't tell them what
to do or force them to do something they don't
want to do, and why would we want to anyway.
But it's just sometimes I think that TOMPs just says
(42:16):
the craziest thing he can think of as a way
of making us not pay attention to Oh look what
the secretary of education is?
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Yeah, well, here's an interesting question for you. If he
closes let's just say he closes the Department of Education
or the Department of Consumer Protection, does the person who's
been named secretary of that stay or do they go?
Speaker 14 (42:56):
I think they don't because there's no department anymore.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Ah, but you're thinking, but you're thinking like a logical,
normal person. Do you think about it?
Speaker 14 (43:12):
He can have abolish those programs unless Congress says it's okay.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Ah, Well, that's what you say, And that's the that's
the latest. See. Part of what's going on here that
we don't realize is there's this clash between the courts,
the Congress, and the executive. And in this case, the
(43:40):
executive thinks it's in charge of everything.
Speaker 14 (43:45):
Yeah, right, absolutely, because he thinks he's a supreme leader.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Right precisely. Well, we'll see.
Speaker 14 (44:02):
Yeah, that's what I think.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Every day.
Speaker 14 (44:04):
I think, well, what's gonna happen tomorrow? I guess I
guess we'll see.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I'd like to call well, the problem. The problem is
I'm not used to going to sleep fearful of what
I will wake up to. That the very first thing
I have to check every morning is was there a bombing?
(44:37):
Was there, this was there that right?
Speaker 14 (44:41):
Was there? A plank crack.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
I grew up in a military family. I went to
military school. I don't want to I don't want to
see this as this it upon all of us, because
when I was in military school, you know, we created
(45:09):
worst scenarios that were just like this. Wow, and by
the buy I want to remind you that Trump said
that he would bring down egg prices and food prices
on day one. Have you seen it?
Speaker 14 (45:29):
I have, Well, I don't buy eggs anymore because I can't,
excuse me, I can't afford that my gas prices keep
going up at my local gas station. It went up
by thirty cents over the past two and a half
(45:49):
weeks a gallon, three sins a gallon.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
It was.
Speaker 14 (45:55):
It was SOMT is going to take my doob away.
So no, I don't feel very good about anything. I
haven't seen any of it.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
What I see is that when I was a kid,
my mother always said, you know, things would equalize, things
would work out. I don't see anything equalizing. I don't
see anything working out. You know what.
Speaker 14 (46:31):
I agree with you, and I used to believe that also.
I used to believe it was a pendulum and it
would swing over to Reagan, but then it would swing
back to Clinton. And I don't know anything ever since
whose elephants? Actually, I haven't had any faith in that
(46:53):
it's all all going to work out.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, well it is what it is, all right. Well,
what we haven't talked about is Canada and Mexico.
Speaker 14 (47:09):
Oh yeah, let's talk about that.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
I gotta say, I gotta say to you, the president
of Mexico is one bold broad I can vote it
that way. Trump slaps twenty terif on Mexico. She slaps
it right back. She didn't waste any time at all.
(47:33):
She had it planned and and it didn't take long
thereafter for him to back off. Oh you're gonna put
ten thousand troops on the boarder. She already had ten
thousand troops on the border, and she's not adding any
(47:55):
more troops. I don't know. And Canada, unfortunately, Pierre Trudeau
is in such a weekend position, and now that he's resigned,
he's in an even weaker position.
Speaker 14 (48:22):
The position, and I don't know what will happen there.
I don't know enough about their government structure, but what
I do know is about the people that I know
who lived there. My husband's mother was from Canada. We
had a lot of family still in Montreal, and they
are so hurt. They thought they were our friends and
(48:47):
then we said, nope, you're not our friends. And so
they know people. And I think they're doing this themselves,
that when they go to the grocery store they go
out of their way, not to remember when we were
all all boycotted grape back. They're boycotting any products that
comes from America. So gosh, that's going to be great
(49:10):
for our economy. Boycotting the grape worked in the end.
Who knows what boycotting American goods around the globe will do.
In the end. It'll make America weaker, is what it
will do. Oh, Eric, so strident today, And I'm just
(49:31):
so worried.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
All the time, you know, I think about it in
this way. Our parents taught us have a clear eye
and a specific thought, you know. But I find myself
a lot arguing both sides as a question, if you will,
(49:57):
I feel for Canada and Mexico. I can't stand Trump.
He's as bad, He's as bad or worse than I
ever thought he would be. And I mean, and it's
(50:21):
like it's not going anywhere. Mm hmm, I don't know.
Speaker 14 (50:35):
These are our friends, these are our neighbors. I'm sure
you remember the movie A Day Without a Mexican.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Yeah, well, listen, that's a great uh, that's a great
homily by which we should be known remember our friends
mm hm, so so that they remember us exactly. It
sounds like something that Rabbi Hillo might have said.
Speaker 14 (51:11):
Indeed, indeed, fat your neighbor as yourself.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah. Yeah, for a lot of.
Speaker 14 (51:23):
People who think that that was what Jesus said, which
he did say it because he was quoting the Old Testament.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
Right, No, you're absolutely right, Ronan.
Speaker 14 (51:39):
But then Trump is a man who did not put
his hand on the Bible when he was born in
as president? Can you imagine if Kamala Harris not put
her hand on the Bible when she was born in
as president?
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah, fact, she put her hand on both the Bible
and the Torah. And uh, you know she's done a
good job raising a nice Jewish family.
Speaker 15 (52:21):
Yeah yep.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
Well, well, hopefully things will get better, but unfortunately I
doubt it.
Speaker 14 (52:35):
Well, we're gonna have to work to make them to
get better. To make them better, We're gonna have to
get to work. What you said before about the midterms
is absolutely correct. We're gonna have to work. Trump is
gonna do some of the work for us because because
in six or seven months, people are gonna go b
(53:00):
Well wait a minute, I thought he said this, Well,
what do you mean he's splashing my medicare Well, what
do you mean? What do you mean my my my
kids doesn't get an.
Speaker 15 (53:09):
I E P.
Speaker 14 (53:10):
It's going to take some time, but but people are
going to I open trace understand that he did not
mean anything he said.
Speaker 11 (53:23):
That.
Speaker 14 (53:23):
He's the words he said in order to get himself elected.
And we have to capitalize that on that, and we
have to make sure that we are working in every
single district to slip some of these seats. You know,
that's who I really love is Adam Chick. I'm so
(53:43):
happy that Adam Schiff is in the Senate. Make me
become an alumness of my the school where I keep.
But that's obviously.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Not not just it.
Speaker 14 (53:56):
I mean he is willing to speak truth power and
Trump is all about power.
Speaker 1 (54:07):
You know. I once met with Adam when he had
just I don't know if he had yet won the
nomination for the state Senate or not. And the only
reason he hadn't gotten the endorsement from the organization I
(54:31):
was in Chargia was because of his position on needle
exchange clean needle exchange.
Speaker 14 (54:37):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
And he said to me, if you can send me documentation,
Remember he was a federal drug prosecutor. He said, if
you can send me the evidence that this does not
spread HIV, i'll be with you. And we went to
(55:15):
lunch and I asked them that question. He said to me,
he said, if you can give me, if you can
show me proof that needle exchange does not enhance drug abuse,
(55:37):
I'll reconsider.
Speaker 14 (55:39):
Mm hmm, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
So I got all the information from the National Institute
for Health and the CDC and you know all the
places you go, right, And I sent it to him,
and about a week later I got a call back
from him and he said, I don't know, I don't
(56:15):
know exactly what you have in mind. But I don't
know what you had in mind. But I read the
material you sent me, and I checked it out in Washington,
(56:39):
and it all seems legit. And so you know, I
took you in. I put you in to my consideration,
(57:00):
and I came out on the other side and saying, look,
if this saves lives rather than ruins lives, then that's
where we should be. And he came out, and he
came out in favor of needle exchange. How many politicians
would be that.
Speaker 14 (57:19):
Gotfel Not many.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
So look, I'm happy that we got where we are.
I worry about what Trump is taking down. I worry
about how he's you know, treating normal people by taking away,
(57:51):
by taking away what.
Speaker 14 (57:52):
They have exactly. But from a public school, public institutions
that we all pay taxes to support.
Speaker 1 (58:05):
Correct. But you know what, but you know what, age
just assume we don't pay tax to support it. Think
about no he does you pay?
Speaker 11 (58:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
Well, we're at the very end of the show. This
has been a very interesting format. It's worked out kind
of nicely in my opinion. I don't know how you feel.
Speaker 14 (58:36):
I feel great. I'm happy to hear that you are happy.
I just want to make you HAPPI Eric.
Speaker 1 (58:45):
Well, this is not what I uh, what I expected.
I mean, I didn't know what I expected. Let me
say that. But we're at the end of the show,

Has no income or contribution limit. Has no five year rule.
Like Roth, Iras has no ten percent penalty for accessing

Speaker 1 (06:03):
Well, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. On a cloudy, rainy
Wednesday afternoon, my visibility is limited to I don't know,
maybe fifty feet and it's not very pleasant and the
(06:23):
rain is intermittent. But when it starts, man, it starts.
So I'm joined today in a special show by Professor
Rona Blaker, who is We're going to have like an
open house talking about what's going on in Washington and
(06:48):
in around the world. How are you, Rona?
Speaker 14 (06:54):
Oh very well, thank you for having me here.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I wish I could say I felt very well. These
creeps in Washington just do me in. I mean, they
zapped my energy so fast.
Speaker 14 (07:18):
It's hard to keep up.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Well, that's it. You know, I had thoughts about where
I would go at the show today, and all of
a sudden, now I see the latest is advanced. The
Vice President says judges, federal judges don't have any right
to tell them what to do. Oh my goodness, I
(07:45):
guess he never studied the separation of powers. I mean,
you and I both scanned an article that talks about
this very issue, and I think it's damn scary.
Speaker 14 (08:09):
It's absolutely terrifying. I mean, this has been part of
our constitution since the beginning, and it feels like it's
well like a tyranny is as the article defined it,
it's we judges are are there for a reason and
(08:29):
to keep the other bridges instead, that's just not happening.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Yeah, And these guys are as they choose to ignoring
these court rulings or not, and they think they can
do whatever the hell they want to do. They think
that they think that it's all about them, them, and
(09:03):
they don't understand. They don't seem to understand that there's
a whole constitutional government that wasn't built around them. I'm
hearing sirens and I don't know if that's outside or
if that's coming off one of the televisions.
Speaker 14 (09:21):
That's Oh, I hope it's not near you.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, we don't usually hear sirens. I'm curious. So that's it.
So I wanted to start out by talking about these
nominations that Trump has made for these various offices. You
realize that all these psycho that psychos that he's proposed,
(09:53):
the only major one that's still there is RFK Junior.
While he may be in some ways the most dangerous
of all. Taulsy Gabard got confirmed yesterday.
Speaker 14 (10:09):
That one surprised me very much. I don't think she
has the qualifications for the job, which doesn't seem to matter.
We'll talk about the Department of Education as well, I hope,
but she she doesn't have the qualifications he has been
(10:29):
suspected of. I mean, you know how I feel about
Hilbart content. To me, everything she says is gospel, and
she didn't believe that Tulsi Gabbered Gabard was loyal to
the United States. And now we have a president who's
on the phone that's footing for ninety minutes and planning
to go to Moncow. I don't know, it's been three weeks.
(10:56):
It's been three weeks, and I think we're in a
practice a crisis.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Why Yeah, no, No, I think that's correct, no matter what,
no matter what anybody says, I think that's correct. I
think that's correct. As I was. Here's the strange thing.
(11:21):
You know, when I was working on a similar list
or Clinton or Brock or George w Right, I could
always say, well, they want to do this, they want
to do that. All I can say with this character
is he's against the federal judges, he's against the Democrats,
(11:47):
he's against the environment, he's in favor of closing the
consumer financial program. I mean, what's what this guy? So?
Why now? The Department of Education, that's the knowles for
the Department.
Speaker 14 (12:04):
Of Education is, as you can imagine, very disturbing to me.
Education is my main focused every single day. I see
so many students in the especially the past two years
since the pandemic, who are struggling and need help, and
(12:28):
they want to cut the Department of Education, which I
assume means cutting money the schools will get from the
federal government. That's going to lead larger class sizes. The
number one indicator of student success, no matter what kind
of school they go to, is class sized. So we
(12:49):
should be doing everything to make final size smaller so
that teaching can become more effective.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
When I was in the first, second, third grade and
went to public school, and I was failing out miserably.
I mean that seriously. I was fighting with my classmates,
I mean all kinds of stuff. When I went off
to military school and suddenly I had ten, twelve, thirteen
(13:20):
students in my class. Suddenly I became a straight a student, right,
So I said, what the hell you know? Why is
this so different? Is the curriculum easier? No, actually the
curriculum was harder. But my grandma go ahead, But I.
Speaker 14 (13:43):
Bet it was more difficult. I had an experience with
my two children where one of them went to a
school where she was really she was very interested in science,
but I'm always trying to encourage young women to be
interested in them subjects, and she was excited about taking
chemistry and she got to her chemistry class, and I
am not exaggerating in any way, there were eighty students
(14:04):
in her class.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Well, I can tell you that in my first grade,
second and third grade classes there were forty to forty
two students.
Speaker 14 (14:16):
That is twice as many, at least as.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
When I got when I got to military, when I
got to Military school, and I had thirteen class nights,
whole different ball of wax man.
Speaker 14 (14:32):
Oh. When Lily was in that class with eighty students,
they did not do a single experiment all year. My
son went to a different school, filler to you, where
he had about thirteen or fifty. It's in a class
they did an experiment every week.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, I mean, by the way, as did we.
Speaker 14 (15:00):
Yeah, of course, of course, And it is absolutely related
to the class side. There's been so much research about this. Yeah,
So did you think that anybody could be worse than.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I can't imagine. I can't imagine writing a list about
Clinton or Obama or Bush and having to put everything
in the negative. I can't ever say that it was
Clinton versus the federal judges, or Clinton versus the Democrats,
(15:48):
or Clinton versus the environment. That's not how Clinton was.
It was.
Speaker 14 (15:58):
It wasn't even think Shelby Bush was in terms of
the tenor of his rhetoric.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Yeah, notwithstanding his rhetoric, you know, yeah, I mean, now
you're having to have federal judges order the Trump administration
to restore health data and health information to the Department's websites.
(16:34):
Could you imagine what would happen if RFK Junior was
the secretary?
Speaker 14 (16:42):
I unfortunately, I can imagine. I worry about so much.
One of the things I really worry about is just
the way that he's subdiction about vaccine. And I know
people in my community who have heard some of these
(17:06):
rumors and having gotten their kids vaccinated. And the last,
the one I worry about, because it's those few pages,
is meaningful. Why don't we want to protect our children
from becoming ill? I remember getting month when I was
a child, and that was that was very painful, and
(17:29):
that can also lead, as I'm sure you know, to
sterilization from men. Why do we want to put our
children through that?
Speaker 15 (17:37):
I I.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Don't.
Speaker 14 (17:43):
I feel like you must have had a very difficult life.
But his cousin, Caroline, her father, was also as fascinated
and Susans to make a meaningful life for herself. People
make choices.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
So if the Department of Education closes, tell us, tell
my audience what that would mean for them and their children.
Speaker 14 (18:14):
Well, there are seven and a half million children in
the United States who have some form of learning different
and we used to call that a disability, and we
know these days now that some children just learn differently
from others. And that's another place where the class size
(18:36):
matters because differences can be folded into a smaller class.
And many of those students have an IEP and individual
education program that is tailored to them and make sure
that their needs are mets and there are meetings once
a semester to make sure that everything is progressing as expected.
(19:00):
And those programs have made such a difference in the
lives of so many children. And I if the funding
will be there for those programs if if the department
is closed down.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, no, I think that's trivia is them.
Speaker 14 (19:22):
It's it's massive to every family who has a child
who needs that that kind of assistance. And you know
who else needs assistance in our educational system and doesn't
get it yet?
Speaker 1 (19:37):
Me?
Speaker 14 (19:39):
You are you need you need all kinds of help
from all of your good press. But you know what
another class of students that gets neglected, Well, I can
think of too. Actually, well, the first one I'm thinking
of is children who are really right, children who are
(19:59):
re we really are I'm interested in school, don't get
what they need. And and children who are artistically talented
and have the talents in music, talents in art, well,
I mean art. Now we have president. It's going to
(20:21):
be the president of the Kennedy Center. I can't get
over that one either. I've seen so many wonderful plays
and concerts there at the Kennedy Center, and I don't
know what we're going to have now.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I could tell you, but I can't say it on
terrestrial radio. Book. I when I went from public school
to military school and my grades suddenly suddenly shot up. Mmm.
My grand mother, the teacher librarian, said, what happened was
(21:07):
they were teaching to the lowest common denominator. Of course, yeah,
they were teaching to the lowest common denominators. So he
was bored. So he was arguing and fighting, and that's
just what it was. And you know, and you know
(21:27):
what my grandmother, Bessie was, as I've talked about on
this show periodically was as looney as could be. But
one thing she knew was education, right, and here we are.
Speaker 14 (21:49):
And looney, what was lou about?
Speaker 8 (21:51):
It?
Speaker 14 (21:52):
Was she the woman who cared about girls getting an
education and getting the jobs.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
No, she was great, all right? She would she would,
she would come home from a school and fall down
on the sofa and say, I'm killed, I'm dead, I'm finished.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
You know what.
Speaker 14 (22:12):
I might have had some days like that.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, well I think I've got a few in my life,
so believe me. But you know what, I picked my
butt up off the sofa and found something that I
could do that was interesting, and I did it.
Speaker 14 (22:32):
Yes, you did?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
You know? I was doing those history and physical exams,
which I loved till I really till my condition really deteriorated,
or if I say it in the proper an improper language,
till they deteriorated. But what I started to say is,
(23:02):
and I'll go back to it while we still have
a couple of minutes. I could never imagine writing a
program about Clinton or Obama or George W where everything
(23:22):
was in the negative. What are they against? What are
they against? What are they against? So like right now,
my list, my side list. So I have some notes
about what to talk about today. Trump versus the federal judges,
Trump versus the Democrats, Trump versus the environment, closure of
(23:44):
the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, closure the Department of Education.
What kind of a history is that? And then he's
going to dare to talk about a third term. He's
seventy two already, the same age Biden was.
Speaker 14 (24:08):
Think he might even older than that. But how can
you have a third term? You can't have a third term?
Speaker 1 (24:13):
No he can't, Well he can't. But remember they don't
respect the constitution, right.
Speaker 14 (24:24):
But just look here, seventy eight years old.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh, seventy eight years old, he's the oldest.
Speaker 14 (24:31):
Person to ever take office, and this times have a
third term. I mean, don't you think that that if
he tries to have a third term that there will
be a revolution in this country?
Speaker 16 (24:47):
I don't.
Speaker 14 (24:49):
I mean yeah, since weeks and so some of us
don't know how to how to fight back yet. But
somebody has to show us. I don't know who that person.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Will be, but well, we better get ourselves prepared and
start fight because about two years, we've got two years
to take back to Congress, or at least the House
of the Congress. Right, you know, if we can take
back at least one house of the Congress other than
(25:27):
his nominees, we can stem me most of this crap, right,
nominees and judges, No, but everything else. Yeah, because that's
kind of work.
Speaker 14 (25:41):
And maybe by the time that two years is before,
we'll go buy in a flush, maybe people will understand
that he did not keep his promises and that they
voted against their own interests. I cannot believe how many
people have voted against their own interests in this Department
of Education is for me, a big example of that.
(26:01):
How many of those seven and a half million parents,
that's the parents voted for Trump and are now they're
not going to get what they need for their Trumps.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
When I when Hillary was running, I asked a non
partisan group. I asked the members, why are you voting
against your own interests? Why are you voting for these
rich guys? And the answer that I got was because
(26:38):
I want to be like them, and if I wipe
them out, then it won't be there for me. Wow.
Because you know, part of it was a lot of
these folks came from small towns, came from small towns
(27:01):
where their families and their friends controlled everything from the
chief of police and the chief of fire to the
mayor to the city council. And it's really a scary thought.
Speaker 14 (27:18):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
Well, we're getting close to our clothes. We have a
couple of minutes left before we have to go to
break anything else you want to throw out there in
the first half.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
Oh, well, there are so many other things I want
to talk about.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Maybe when we come back we can we have another
We have another half an hour.
Speaker 14 (27:48):
Right, okay, so we'll talk about the international.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah issues as well.
Speaker 14 (27:57):
We have lots to see an end to the war
in Ukraine and people buying, but what is the price
going to be?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
All right? Well for him, he was asked an interesting
question this morning, do you consider Ukraine an equal partner
in the negotiations? And Trump's response was, that's an interesting question.
(28:27):
I have to think about it.
Speaker 14 (28:30):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That follows on him saying yesterday No, it doesn't.
Speaker 14 (28:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
And because he's gonna carry up the pootin no matter what.
Speaker 14 (28:54):
Yes, And I don't understand that. I didn't understand it
the first time around, and I really don't understand it now.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Because it makes him feel go ahead, I.
Speaker 14 (29:10):
Think it's what you just said. So you asked those
voters and they said, I want to be like him.
I think he wants to be like Sutin. I think
it's just a sane reaction.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I have that.
Speaker 14 (29:26):
Power that Sutan has where nobody questions him, and anybody
who does question him literally gets thrown out of a window.
And Trump looks around and he realizes, you can't throw
anybody out of a window yet. But I guess you
(29:46):
could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and murder
someone and still get elected.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Right. Well, not twenty said, all right, my dear, we're
down to the last minute. We're down to the last minute. Necessari,

spoke with Russian President Putin and they will immediately start
negotiations related to ending the Russia Ukraine War. In a
post on truth social Trump said the call was highly
productive and they also discussed the Middle East and AI,
among other things. The White House says Wednesday's inflation report
(30:56):
shows the Biden administration left them a mess to deal with.
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
People at those very podiums told the American people that
inflation was transitory and that it would go away. That
was not the case, and now the last report of
the Biden administration, as revealed today, shows that inflation is
still about four point five percent higher over the past
three months.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Dix's Auto Records. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen. It's Eric
common hosts of the Uncommon Sense Democrat right here on
NBC Radio CASECA. I am joined by Professor Ronald Blaker,
and uh, we have a lot to go in a
(33:56):
very short time. We're talking about what's going on in
Washington and what's going on in around the world. So, Ronald,
we've been talking mostly about what's going on in the US.
But what about this nonsense with Trump beginning negotiations with Putin?
(34:25):
But he doesn't even mention Ukraine in the conversation.
Speaker 14 (34:30):
And apparently doesn't believe that that Ukraine believes it should
have a should have a voice at the at the table.
That's so autocratic. I'm sure that Ukraine would be happy
to have some piefa. Asad was saying before the breaks,
what is the price going to be for them. Yeah,
(34:53):
something is going to give away. I mean, this is
a man who says he's gonna take over Gaza and
why Greenland. I don't know what the price is going
to be for Ukraine. And I'm very worried for the
Ukrainian people because if he gives Ukraine back to Russia,
(35:15):
that's just going to embolden Suitan two to do more actives.
Look like like.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Right, well, I'll just tell you for what it's worth.
I heard one of the Republicans in Congress say this
morning that Greenland should be renamed TrumpLand, Oh my goodness,
what do they think the people of Greenland they're going
(35:46):
to do? Just sit here and take it. Maybe maybe
they will. Maybe they'll just sit here and take it.
Speaker 14 (35:57):
I would be very surprised if that were the case.
I'd be very surprised if Denmark allowed it to happen.
I'd be surprised if Denmark's the Allies allowed it to happen.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Now, well, we can come back to Russia and Ukraine.
Here's the one. I'm personally more worried about Gaza and Israel.
And now Trump has decided that he wants to throw
all the Goslins all the Palestinians off to some other
(36:36):
country that doesn't want them.
Speaker 14 (36:41):
And yeah, he wants to send them to come to
Jordans and to Egypt and Jordan and Egypt does not
want them to come there. Two million people.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Okay, So now.
Speaker 14 (36:58):
He's threatening because the cold eight from those countries. That's
called strong army. That's not all in America.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Wait a minute, what did you say? It was called.
Speaker 14 (37:13):
Strong army?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Oh, strong army? Okay, strong army?
Speaker 14 (37:20):
Is that that's the word, right?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Yes, I just didn't hear it clearly. Yeah, Well, the
Gaza thing is just absurd. If he wants he wants
to turn Gaza into quote the regal international what's the
(37:51):
word I want? Not because uh yeah, resort for the whole,
for the whole. Yeah, like the revere of the Middle East.
And there are some other Middle East countries that are
not so happy without who they think that's their job. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (38:20):
I don't understand why if we want put a lot
of money into Gaza, we wouldn't put that money into
giving jobs to people to help rebuild their home rather
than telling them to get out. Yeo, I mean clearly.
(38:45):
I mean Hamas was an elected government there Hamas needs.
Speaker 16 (38:48):
To be.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Gone.
Speaker 14 (38:53):
But not every person who lives in Gaza is a
member of.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
We need Commas, yeah right, not every members a member
of Commas.
Speaker 14 (39:08):
I mean it would be nice. What what was so terrible?
Everything was so terrible, But one of the most terrible
things about October seventh was that the people who were
murdered and kidnapped were people who were helping the people
of Gaza. They were driving them to medical appointments in Israel,
(39:29):
they were bringing them food. They were trying to create
peace between their piblt sing and the people who lived
in Gaza, one person at a time. And then Hamas
came in and murdered and raped and killed and kidnapped
those people. And so of course there was an enormous
(39:53):
amount of anger. But that psychle is going to continue
and continue and continue until we can find a way
to live peacefully, side by side with other people. It
has happened, not perfect, but it happened in South Africa. Oh,
(40:14):
I know, we should put Elon Musk in charge of.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
It, Jesus, Chris.
Speaker 14 (40:21):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Elon Musk is the character all onto his own, Okay.
He doesn't care about anything other than himself and his
bottom line exactly, and that's where it is. And he
doesn't care about any of these countries. He doesn't care
(40:46):
about the US. He cares about what he cares about,
which is him, all right. So he wants to turn
Gaza into this paradise, but the locals don't want it,
the Jordanians. I mean, I can tell you forty years
(41:10):
ago I worked with a Jordaanian cardiologist, an outstanding guy,
who when I said to him, well, there's all these
Palestinians who need a place to go, why doesn't Jordans
take any more of them? And the guy said to me,
because they've got almost half of our country now. Think
(41:35):
about that, they've got almost half of his country now.
And that was forty years ago. Yeah, I know, I
have to be careful how I say these things. But
it's real, Yes.
Speaker 14 (41:55):
It absolutely is real. And they can't tell them what
to do or force them to do something they don't
want to do, and why would we want to anyway.
But it's just sometimes I think that TOMPs just says
(42:16):
the craziest thing he can think of as a way
of making us not pay attention to Oh look what
the secretary of education is?
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Yeah, well, here's an interesting question for you. If he
closes let's just say he closes the Department of Education
or the Department of Consumer Protection, does the person who's
been named secretary of that stay or do they go?
Speaker 14 (42:56):
I think they don't because there's no department anymore.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Ah, but you're thinking, but you're thinking like a logical,
normal person. Do you think about it?
Speaker 14 (43:12):
He can have abolish those programs unless Congress says it's okay.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Ah, Well, that's what you say, And that's the that's
the latest. See. Part of what's going on here that
we don't realize is there's this clash between the courts,
the Congress, and the executive. And in this case, the
(43:40):
executive thinks it's in charge of everything.
Speaker 14 (43:45):
Yeah, right, absolutely, because he thinks he's a supreme leader.
Speaker 1 (43:53):
Right precisely. Well, we'll see.
Speaker 14 (44:02):
Yeah, that's what I think.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Every day.
Speaker 14 (44:04):
I think, well, what's gonna happen tomorrow? I guess I
guess we'll see.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
I'd like to call well, the problem. The problem is
I'm not used to going to sleep fearful of what
I will wake up to. That the very first thing
I have to check every morning is was there a bombing?
(44:37):
Was there, this was there that right?
Speaker 14 (44:41):
Was there? A plank crack.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
I grew up in a military family. I went to
military school. I don't want to I don't want to
see this as this it upon all of us, because
when I was in military school, you know, we created
(45:09):
worst scenarios that were just like this. Wow, and by
the buy I want to remind you that Trump said
that he would bring down egg prices and food prices
on day one. Have you seen it?
Speaker 14 (45:29):
I have, Well, I don't buy eggs anymore because I can't,
excuse me, I can't afford that my gas prices keep
going up at my local gas station. It went up
by thirty cents over the past two and a half
(45:49):
weeks a gallon, three sins a gallon.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
It was.
Speaker 14 (45:55):
It was SOMT is going to take my doob away.
So no, I don't feel very good about anything. I
haven't seen any of it.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
What I see is that when I was a kid,
my mother always said, you know, things would equalize, things
would work out. I don't see anything equalizing. I don't
see anything working out. You know what.
Speaker 14 (46:31):
I agree with you, and I used to believe that also.
I used to believe it was a pendulum and it
would swing over to Reagan, but then it would swing
back to Clinton. And I don't know anything ever since
whose elephants? Actually, I haven't had any faith in that
(46:53):
it's all all going to work out.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
Yeah, well it is what it is, all right. Well,
what we haven't talked about is Canada and Mexico.
Speaker 14 (47:09):
Oh yeah, let's talk about that.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
I gotta say, I gotta say to you, the president
of Mexico is one bold broad I can vote it
that way. Trump slaps twenty terif on Mexico. She slaps
it right back. She didn't waste any time at all.
(47:33):
She had it planned and and it didn't take long
thereafter for him to back off. Oh you're gonna put
ten thousand troops on the boarder. She already had ten
thousand troops on the border, and she's not adding any
(47:55):
more troops. I don't know. And Canada, unfortunately, Pierre Trudeau
is in such a weekend position, and now that he's resigned,
he's in an even weaker position.
Speaker 14 (48:22):
The position, and I don't know what will happen there.
I don't know enough about their government structure, but what
I do know is about the people that I know
who lived there. My husband's mother was from Canada. We
had a lot of family still in Montreal, and they
are so hurt. They thought they were our friends and
(48:47):
then we said, nope, you're not our friends. And so
they know people. And I think they're doing this themselves,
that when they go to the grocery store they go
out of their way, not to remember when we were
all all boycotted grape back. They're boycotting any products that
comes from America. So gosh, that's going to be great
(49:10):
for our economy. Boycotting the grape worked in the end.
Who knows what boycotting American goods around the globe will do.
In the end. It'll make America weaker, is what it
will do. Oh, Eric, so strident today, And I'm just
(49:31):
so worried.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
All the time, you know, I think about it in
this way. Our parents taught us have a clear eye
and a specific thought, you know. But I find myself
a lot arguing both sides as a question, if you will,
(49:57):
I feel for Canada and Mexico. I can't stand Trump.
He's as bad, He's as bad or worse than I
ever thought he would be. And I mean, and it's
(50:21):
like it's not going anywhere. Mm hmm, I don't know.
Speaker 14 (50:35):
These are our friends, these are our neighbors. I'm sure
you remember the movie A Day Without a Mexican.
Speaker 1 (50:46):
Yeah, well, listen, that's a great uh, that's a great
homily by which we should be known remember our friends
mm hm, so so that they remember us exactly. It
sounds like something that Rabbi Hillo might have said.
Speaker 14 (51:11):
Indeed, indeed, fat your neighbor as yourself.
Speaker 1 (51:19):
Yeah. Yeah, for a lot of.
Speaker 14 (51:23):
People who think that that was what Jesus said, which
he did say it because he was quoting the Old Testament.
Speaker 1 (51:32):
Right, No, you're absolutely right, Ronan.
Speaker 14 (51:39):
But then Trump is a man who did not put
his hand on the Bible when he was born in
as president? Can you imagine if Kamala Harris not put
her hand on the Bible when she was born in
as president?
Speaker 1 (52:00):
Yeah, fact, she put her hand on both the Bible
and the Torah. And uh, you know she's done a
good job raising a nice Jewish family.
Speaker 15 (52:21):
Yeah yep.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
Well, well, hopefully things will get better, but unfortunately I
doubt it.
Speaker 14 (52:35):
Well, we're gonna have to work to make them to
get better. To make them better, We're gonna have to
get to work. What you said before about the midterms
is absolutely correct. We're gonna have to work. Trump is
gonna do some of the work for us because because
in six or seven months, people are gonna go b
(53:00):
Well wait a minute, I thought he said this, Well,
what do you mean he's splashing my medicare Well, what
do you mean? What do you mean my my my
kids doesn't get an.
Speaker 15 (53:09):
I E P.
Speaker 14 (53:10):
It's going to take some time, but but people are
going to I open trace understand that he did not
mean anything he said.
Speaker 11 (53:23):
That.
Speaker 14 (53:23):
He's the words he said in order to get himself elected.
And we have to capitalize that on that, and we
have to make sure that we are working in every
single district to slip some of these seats. You know,
that's who I really love is Adam Chick. I'm so
(53:43):
happy that Adam Schiff is in the Senate. Make me
become an alumness of my the school where I keep.
But that's obviously.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
Not not just it.
Speaker 14 (53:56):
I mean he is willing to speak truth power and
Trump is all about power.
Speaker 1 (54:07):
You know. I once met with Adam when he had
just I don't know if he had yet won the
nomination for the state Senate or not. And the only
reason he hadn't gotten the endorsement from the organization I
(54:31):
was in Chargia was because of his position on needle
exchange clean needle exchange.
Speaker 14 (54:37):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (54:40):
And he said to me, if you can send me documentation,
Remember he was a federal drug prosecutor. He said, if
you can send me the evidence that this does not
spread HIV, i'll be with you. And we went to
(55:15):
lunch and I asked them that question. He said to me,
he said, if you can give me, if you can
show me proof that needle exchange does not enhance drug abuse,
(55:37):
I'll reconsider.
Speaker 14 (55:39):
Mm hmm, that's fair.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
So I got all the information from the National Institute
for Health and the CDC and you know all the
places you go, right, And I sent it to him,
and about a week later I got a call back
from him and he said, I don't know, I don't
(56:15):
know exactly what you have in mind. But I don't
know what you had in mind. But I read the
material you sent me, and I checked it out in Washington,
(56:39):
and it all seems legit. And so you know, I
took you in. I put you in to my consideration,
(57:00):
and I came out on the other side and saying, look,
if this saves lives rather than ruins lives, then that's
where we should be. And he came out, and he
came out in favor of needle exchange. How many politicians
would be that.
Speaker 14 (57:19):
Gotfel Not many.
Speaker 1 (57:25):
So look, I'm happy that we got where we are.
I worry about what Trump is taking down. I worry
about how he's you know, treating normal people by taking away,
(57:51):
by taking away what.
Speaker 14 (57:52):
They have exactly. But from a public school, public institutions
that we all pay taxes to support.
Speaker 1 (58:05):
Correct. But you know what, but you know what, age
just assume we don't pay tax to support it. Think
about no he does you pay?
Speaker 11 (58:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
Well, we're at the very end of the show. This
has been a very interesting format. It's worked out kind
of nicely in my opinion. I don't know how you feel.
Speaker 14 (58:36):
I feel great. I'm happy to hear that you are happy.
I just want to make you HAPPI Eric.
Speaker 1 (58:45):
Well, this is not what I uh, what I expected.
I mean, I didn't know what I expected. Let me
say that. But we're at the end of the show,
and this is a Allen host of the uncommon sense
Democrat right here in NBC Radio KCAA, joined by Professor
(59:07):

a day that's a little sunnier and a little less brainy,
but who knows, we'll see Eric take it Away.
