Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Right, when did we all get this dump? Almost only
counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and nuclear warfare. I don't
see anybodies, so it doesn't count. I'm the chef. I
want to hear one thing, Yes, chef, come on, man,
here's your brain the Why I'm Angry Podcast start now?

(00:35):
All right, look at that so prepared. Didn't have my
mic ready and set for you guys. I just did
an update, so I'm sure that everything will work smooth
and excitingly. It's a little all right, and yeah, here

(01:04):
we are, y Am Angry Podcast. This is the chef,
and I'm here in the Freestyle man Cave studio, and uh,
you know, if you got any questions, send me an email.
If you're on right now while I'm live, you can
get in the comment sections. I'm gonna try to get

(01:28):
into most of them here. So all right, all right,
so if you send me a comment, I'll try to
interact with you. This is gonna kind of be a
little different because I don't have a ton prepared and

(01:50):
so I'm going to try to kind of catch up,
and so what I what I've got is what I'll
what I'll be bringing what I can what I can
kind of find as we go, and I can kind
of give you a little insight into you know, what
I what I do to prepare or not prepare, and uh,

(02:14):
how things go. That being said, email Why I'm Angry
podcast at gmail dot com for anybody on the podcast
that doesn't see it on the screen and stuff, who's
not watching it live. Why I'm Angry Podcast at gmail

(02:35):
dot com gets you. You can you can contact me
straight up. I check the email every day, sometimes four
or five times a day, and uh, you know that
that gets done. And then also send us any articles
that you want us to go over, and either I

(02:55):
will or one of the guys will. I know that
we're going to start doing more like just reaction videos
of articles and things of that nature so that the
other guys can get in. All of them are kind
of going through some some different things and stuff like that,
you know, buying houses, getting married, changing jobs, just some

(03:19):
some major major life ish major life adjustments. So you're
not going to see them on quite as often until
they can figure out and and honestly, that's kind of
what what we're going to talk about in this in
this episode is you know, honestly, we all struggle with things,

(03:42):
and I struggle with ADHD pretty heavily. And so that's
kind of where I'm at this week is is you know,
I have been back and forth on everything, just kind
of up and down and everything. And if you if
you see a week or two where we don't, you know,
put out a podcast, it's either because I don't feel

(04:06):
like I'm prepared enough, and that could be because I
didn't wasn't able to kind of sit down and do it.
And that kind of comes from a number of things
I have. We have a lot of things going on
in our house, uh, outdoor projects and indoor renovate renovations

(04:31):
and things and just the whole life type stuff. And
we also have, you know, a two year old and
we have a garden that you know, is very demanding.
And so it seems like March kind of bogs us down.

(04:51):
March may sometimes July, I think June got us a
little bit this this year. But you know, that's that
that's kind of life. And and you know, honestly, I
it's it's like I said, I kind of struggle with
the the ADHD and it and it's actual it's not

(05:11):
you know, hah. I have ADHD. You know, it's it's
actually diagnosed ADHD. And I honestly don't believe in taking
a bunch of medication that isn't going to prolong your life.
And if I had something like I don't know, bipolar
or disorder or something like that or or or something

(05:34):
mental disorder wise that I needed to take it to
stay you know, on on the level, then I would,
you know, honestly, I would try or probably take it.
But I don't take you know, I just don't take
anything for the ADHD. I took it for a while

(05:55):
as a kid. It uh it honestly, it leveled me
out so much that I just was a walking zombie.
And you know, I don't I don't want to be
walking zombie. I'm fairly creative. And if you don't, like,

(06:16):
we can we we know, we can all joke that
we have ADHD and and we all have some sort
of we're probably all semi semi on the spectrum. It's
not like it used to be where like you have
it or you don't. It's more like with everything you know,
you know, you know, we found that you know, everybody

(06:36):
has a form or or a focus of of some
some sort of spectrum. So you know, if you're if
you don't show symptoms of autisms, you're probably very, very
very low on the spectrum. If you don't show you know,
if you have you know, able to be able to
focus and attention, switch and and move and groove in

(07:00):
your day and get every you know, get things accomplished
and stuff, then you're probably low on this spectrum of
you know, of the of ADHD or something like that,
if you you know, and so I think we all
kind of sorry, I gotta text message. And this is

(07:27):
kind of the this is kind of the ADHD thing
kicking in again that you know, just you know, if
I see something, you know, it's funny, it's it's like squirrel,
but it is, it is like squirrel. And so a
lot of times what happens is is I'll get focused
on something else where. I have to give myself a

(07:48):
focus that I know I can break away from easily enough,
or I have a focus that you know, it's just
it's you know, one of the symptoms is having laser
focus on things, and then you can't break that out
without being frustrated. And if you know somebody you know

(08:09):
that has said or diagnosed with ADHD, and you and
you see them being frustrated, you know that's that's probably
because they're having troubles either switching that attention or getting
or or the fact they're they're upset that they can't
get back to that focus or that thing that they

(08:33):
have that focus on. And with me, I know, I
have so much to get done and I'm working on
all of these different things. And the one thing that
is good about ADHD is that you just you know,
you kind of work as you see things, and so
a lot of things get worked on. And luckily with

(08:59):
the projects right now, they're not they're not projects that
can get finished right now. You know, my garden isn't
finished today, but it's something I can work on. And
then I work on and I feel like, Okay, I
accomplished something, and that helps build from there. And a
lot of people go through that, I guess, building from

(09:21):
you know, just you know, getting up and you know,
you make your bed as an accomplishment and stuff like that.
And so I struggle my my my biggest struggle is routines.
And so this this podcast, you know, it's it's run
almost five five full years, and that's that's a that's

(09:42):
a pretty good, pretty big accomplishment. We aren't doing it
every week, and that's you know, that's one one thing
life does get in the way. And you know, some
like I said, sometimes my ADHD beats me. And I
even text my wife this week that, you know, on
Tuesday that you know, I was just you know, I

(10:06):
was feeling uninspired, not not ready to go, and I
just ADHD was taken over. And sometimes ADHD isn't just
you know, having that laser focus and that not wanting
to do this or or just whatever you're interested in is.
It's also not being interested in anything and you know,

(10:29):
just wanting to procrastinate and shut it all out. And
I told her I just wanted to go to bed
and just leave it all, you know, just leave it
all for tomorrow. And you know, obviously I fought through it.
I fought the good fight. I didn't win, but I
didn't also lose. I didn't go to bed and just

(10:51):
let it beat me. So here we are on the
on the podcast, getting it out to you guys, getting
some information out here. Looking through the emails, it looks
like Harris has chosen a running mate and honestly, it

(11:19):
is kind of a doozy. So I read an article
earlier this week, you know about this this who's going
to be her running mate and stuff, and they were
saying something about that she could pick up the guy
from Pennsylvania, the governor from Pennsylvania. Uh, and he could

(11:46):
he could maybe pull pull that back in and be
he's a little more centrist and he could bring in
the the more moderate style voters and stuff. But she
went full send. And it looks like she's gonna pick

(12:08):
Minnesota Governor Tim Walls as her running mate in twenty
twenty four. Yeah, so he has a connection with rural
voters because he's in Minnesota. I guess, I don't know.

(12:32):
He's a formal high school teacher, he's a National Guard veteran.
He served as a representative of Minnesota for about twelve
years from twenty seven to nineteen, and he's been a
state state governor since twenty nineteen. He is known for

(12:53):
policies such as removing abortion restrictions, legalizing recreational marijuana, providing
universal free schools. That seems like, yeah, yeah, he's connected
with the rural voter. Wols has also faced criticism for
the state's response to COVID nineteen and for landing or

(13:17):
for his handling of the George Floyd protest. So remember
since twenty nineteen, this guy has been in office as
a governor. So with George Floyd, where they burnt hundreds
almost half a billion dollars worth of property damage where

(13:38):
they and that's a billion with a bee half a billion.
Think about how much like think about that the properties
around you. That Walmart is probably worth you know, two
to seven eight eight million dollars, and that's five hundred

(13:59):
million dollars. That's half a billion dollars. So that's like
they burned somewhere around eight Walmarts, I mean target you know,
all kinds of things like that. So he handled it. Well,

(14:19):
this is this thing that I'm reading, says for the
first time. And since two thousand and four, both major
parties will feature military veterans on the ballot walls. The
opponent and opponent JD Vance service records could potentially resonate
strongly with voters, as a recent study found nearly ninety

(14:41):
percent of US adults express favorable opinion of veterans. Well,
I mean, unless we're idiots, Unless adults are are now
completely moronic. You should have a favorable opinion of veterans
because for one, they went out and fought for your life,

(15:02):
for you, for your livelihood, for your freedom, for the
ability for you to say all this stupid crap to
breathe all this stupid air that you're taking up, and uh,
you know, for all of that. So if if you
don't have a favorable opinion of veterans, then you probably

(15:29):
probably just you know, leave the country because those are
the guys that made this you know, major major your
opinions worthwhile or even able to be seen, because I
don't know if you if you've you've been around a
little while, you know, but if you haven't been around
the podcast a while, you you might not know that.

(15:53):
In other countries your opinion doesn't count for anything. Countries
like China, they don't want to hear your opinion. They
don't want to know your opinion. They don't even want
to know that you have an opinion, And in all honesty,
you don't have an opinion, and it doesn't matter because

(16:13):
they don't care. It's not a democracy and if they
pretend to be a democracy by having a vote or whatever,
it's not it's not real. It's kind of like your opinion.
It's not facts, it's not real. But here in America

(16:36):
we have millions and millions of soldiers who have fought
and and died and come back not the same as
they were because they're you know, killing someone isn't in
real life. Isn't like killing someone in a video game.
You uh, you know, you're you're a changed person. You

(16:57):
you've taken a life, one of the more precious things
in the world. So if you have you you know
you're in that and you have you do that, then
there's there's some sort of of responsibility to have a

(17:20):
favorable opinion towards a veteran. We we have a responsibility
that if we're not veterans, two hold a veteran in
a little higher esteem than ourselves. I mean that that
person went over and fought. Now, Tim Walls, his veteran

(17:41):
is is his veteran is his National Guard duty. So
he didn't see fighting time where Jade Vance saw quite
quite a bit. But you know, both veterans appreciate your
your veteran status, but beyond that, it doesn't seem like

(18:05):
you have I mean, being a teacher is a is
a big thing. But he sounds like he's one of
those referendum teachers, one of those teachers that just they're
out there to push their agenda, to get their agenda pushed,
and you know that kind of thing. So am I surprised.

(18:27):
You know, the article I was reading said that this,
you know, picking Tim Walls is picking it is making
their their election card a California dream. Oh come on,
we don't need a California dream. We don't need a
California nightmare in America. California can't can't fund itself, California

(18:52):
can't police itself. California can't even figure out where all
the homeless people are coming from. So California's bought and
paid for by China, asked the San Francisco mayor. It's
just we don't we don't want that. I mean, like

(19:15):
I was talking to my father in law this week
and I said, you know there are still more and
we know that because they had to make up an
amount of votes last last election that would have that
would have beat Obama. They had to make up that

(19:35):
many votes to win the election. Like, you can't tell
me that that more people came out and voted for
for Biden and Obama or Biden and Trump that year

(19:58):
than who had then then, who had voted for Obama
that the four years, the eight years before, four years before,
eight years before, whatever. So they just, you know, that

(20:21):
just goes to show you, you know that, you know,
I feel like I feel like the presidential wise, I mean,
I'm gonna vote, I'm gonna go out and do my thing,
But I feel like you're putting you all your eggs
in one basket, and that one basket it has got
three holes in it, and your eggs are falling out,

(20:43):
and there's a good chance that you're not you're you're
you're not going to get you know, the favorable option.
And so honestly, I feel like voting for making sure
that you know who your congress person is and making

(21:05):
sure that you're holding them to the fire and making
sure that you know you're voting the best option for
your congress person that you're getting in and voting at
the primaries you're getting in and you're you know, you're
if you you know, if you go to town hall meetings.
I know that Warren Davidson was having a town hall

(21:28):
meeting tonight in Cincinnati, and I actually have. I've talked
to him also a few times and really like him.
I get his email every week or I think it's
every week, and just you know, it just basically tells
it tells everybody what he's done or what he's doing
in the area. And then if there's major votes and

(21:49):
stuff like that Ian Washington, you know what they're what
they're voting on, and stuff like that. So really really
seems like a really good guy. You know, you never
know a guy until you really know a guy. But
at least this way, you know, at least I've you know,
I know who my representatives are and try as we

(22:12):
must or try as we can't have you know, we've
been trying to get rid of Shared Brown for a
while and you know, I'm not you know, I obviously
am not high up in the party. I'm not even
not even really in a full on, full fledged member
of the Republican Party. But to you know, to give

(22:38):
us you know a you know how you know the
Moreno is. You know, he has the money, he's a businessman,
he's got the backing. He is the person like I don't.
I don't have any problems with with with Moreno as
a as a person to to go, you know, to

(23:00):
to get elected. But we had another person in the
primary that had a little more name recognition. And I
feel like, right now, if you've got two guys that
are both going to be conservative, we are both going
to hold the line, and to tow the conservative line,
you have to you have to take the person who
has better name recognition, and you have to put some
money behind him. And you have to do it because

(23:23):
right now elections are won and not right now, but
always elections have been run or won by name recognition.
You know, President Reagan was an actor, he was in
some major films at that time, and you know, Eisenhower

(23:44):
was a war hero, and Kennedy had built this great,
big name for himself. So you know, as we were
as time has gone, we have you know, we we
we just said, we've we've built up, we've we've we've

(24:07):
we've we've we we've we as a people vote for
a name and that's that's it, you know, you vote
for a name and and that's how we elect him.
So that's why Trump has has been so successful is

(24:27):
that he has a name and that he's built a
following based on that name. He has the money to
back it. And and there's two things you got to do.
You got to have some recognition. You gotta have a name.
And that's why I said, with this uh No Labels
group that I've kind of you know, I've kind of

(24:48):
followed a little bit, kind of watched the background of
this New Labels group, and you know, they were so
disappointed that they didn't have a presidential candidate, and it
was like, who can cares. Let's get five or six
good congressional seats. You know, let's try to get one

(25:10):
good congressional seats the first year, or or now let's
try to get two, you know, good congressional seats or
you know, something like that, where where we can build
the name recognition for the group. That way, they get
the money, but coming in and they can start building
name recognition for the people. You know, you could with

(25:32):
with a group like the No No Labels, you you
could bring in you know, high profile people to run
and and they're running off of their own platform as
opposed to, oh no, that guy's he's too conservative, he's
too left wing, he's too right wing. You know, you're

(25:54):
you you actually say, this is what we're going to
do and you and you talk out your plan. So
I just think I think we shoot for the presidency.
And honestly, most of the power is held by the
congressional seats. And we you know, I was watching the

(26:16):
the ABC coverage of the I think it was the
Black Journalists Convention or whatever, and they they had Trump
there and they had asked him a couple of questions,
and you know, it was the first question come run
out the gate and said, why do you keep saying

(26:37):
that black people should be should be, should love you
because that you know, you're keeping the Mexicans out because
they keep taking you know, anybody flooding across the border
of the illegal aliens or taking their jobs. And he said, well,
they're taking everybody's jobs. They're taking jobs from from everybody.

(27:00):
And you know, you know, he got a little snippy
with her and with the person and said that that,
h that was a rude and and you know, kind
of condescending question or whatever in his way. And uh,

(27:21):
you know, but in the in the grand scheme of things,
it's not the president who legislates as the president to
executes the laws. And honestly, if we executed all of
the laws, that we have right now. We could keep
a vast majority of the illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, people

(27:50):
who are coming into the country illegally. If you feel
like I'm being too harsh on him and calling people illegal,
but we could keep most of those people where they're
supposed to be and coming in legally, if if we

(28:16):
just executed the laws that we have the way they're
supposed to be executed, and uh, you know, we just
go from there and just hit the hit hit the
ground with with the laws that we have. But we

(28:37):
don't do that. We we you know, we ask for more.
We asked for walls, We ask for for to not
have to send you know, send people back. We send
them to different different cities all over the place, and uh,
you know, and then we then we complained that there's

(29:01):
too many of them out there and too many, too
many people, just too many people just you know, flooding
the borders and stuff. But we're not we're not executing

(29:22):
the laws. And so we could we we could execute
the laws, and we could we could keep everything going.
But really, the power is is in is in Congress.
If you're if you're if you want to make laws,
if you want to legislate and that's what these guys
were talking about. This one guy, one black journalist was

(29:43):
on there and he's talking about how you know, maybe
you know, the the question was right off the bat
and maybe you know, we didn't give her, give him
any time to to to ease into the questions or whatever,
but uh, you know, it was a pressing question, and
you know, he just said that you know, maybe maybe

(30:07):
we should, you know, we should answer those questions and that,
you know, but but people need. One thing he did
say that I thought was semi intelligent was that he
said people need to start thinking of these things without
their emotions. They need to stop thinking about these things,

(30:27):
you know, the government and the laws being made with
their feelings. That if we take it for face value
what it actually is, then we would be able to
realize that it's not as there. You know, this isn't

(30:48):
against anyone, This isn't about a fight against each other.
This is this is all about you know, politics and power.
And so if if you get on, if you're if
you're if you're looking at everybody's stance on things, and

(31:17):
you take their stance, you know, you take out the
voice that they put in it the inflection points and
you just read basically the text message, then who who
do you stand behind? No mean tweets, no whatever. You know,

(31:44):
you you can't honestly say that the things that Biden
has done stand up to the level of president because
we're you know, we're not fighting a war in Ukraine,

(32:06):
but there is a war in Ukraine. You know, it's
not it's not that he's been so great that you know,
and and there's never going to be peace on earth,
like never total peace, well till the last days. But
in that, but in that, we're you know, we just

(32:45):
need to make sure that you know, it's not about
our feelings, it's about what's best for the country. I'll
tell you that Trump isn't my favorite politician. It's he is.
He the best person on the ticket. He's not the

(33:07):
most conservative, but he's the one I think that's most
likely to be elected that's at least going to help

(33:27):
the country. If you're out there saying that this was
one thing I saw today or this week, and I
sent myself a message so that I could go back
and talk about it a little later, let's see if

(33:51):
I got it here. Nope, that's not it ah, there
it is. So this is part of this is part

(34:12):
of what people don't understand with you know, with your
your judging people about how they live their life or
or what they're what their decisions are. And if you
see somebody with with way more than you have, then

(34:33):
that person must be bad and that person is just
is just killing the world or killing the environment or
holding someone else back. But you don't realize that they're
they're creating jobs, they're building businesses, they're investing in things

(34:54):
that put food on other people's tables. Like if you
don't do anything but for somebody, you're doing nothing but
putting food on your own table and putting food on
that guy's table. So if you want to be like
all about we can't help the you know, the big

(35:16):
guy gets everything, the the man gets everything. Well, if
you're just working a job, that's all that's that's all
you're doing is giving it to the man and nothing
about it. But if you're going to whine about it,

(35:37):
you know, then do something about it. Create your own
create your own company, making whatever you make right now
in a better quality, in a better style, in a
better whatever, better design, and uh and get it done
and and work it out, figure it out, you know.

(36:00):
So that's honestly, that's kind of what I did with
the restaurants, is that all I was doing is working
for somebody else who was either less intelligent or had
less less time invested in it and less knowledge about
how to do things. And I was making them money.
And so I left, I got out. I got my own,

(36:27):
my own deal going. I made my own money. I
made my money for myself, and one I proved that
I could do it to myself, and two made it
for myself, made my own living, you know, gave myself
a paycheck instead of you know, paying somebody else or
working hard for somebody else to give me a paycheck,

(36:50):
which is fine. But when you complain about demand and
you're the one, you know, getting either the handout from
the man or working that job for somebody, and you
want to complain about that person having a jet or
or killing the environment and whatever way they see fit,

(37:11):
there's another side to it. So I got to check.
Saw this post on Facebook of this jet. I'm sure
you've seen posts like this or whatever, but it says
a guy looked at at this guy's airplane and he said,
I wonder how many people could be fed for the

(37:31):
price of that airplane. And I mean that's a good
a good thought. If you if you have an airplane,
and you have five hundred thousand dollars or a couple
million dollars for an airplane, depending on how big it is,
you know, if it's a big one or whatever, and uh, yeah,
you could you could probably you know, take that money

(37:56):
and and have but you didn't solved hunger. You know.
That's the elon Muska like five or ten years ago,
sent an a or a guys said something. Somebody said
something about, you know, where he could have spent his

(38:19):
money on on you know, fixing world hunger or something
like that, and he said, tell me, He goes, tell
me the amount of money it's going to cost to
to solve world hunger. And he goes, I'll write the
check today. And you know, he goes, is it you know,

(38:44):
seventy eight billion dollars? Is it you know, trillion dollars?
He goes, I I will, I will figure it out.
We'll we'll we'll write that check right out of the
business account or whatever, and we'll solve world hunger right now.
But there is I like it's not it's not a simple,
a simple problem, you know. It's not how many people

(39:05):
could you feed with the airplane? And so he replied
that he wasn't sure how much he could feed with
the price of the airplane, but he said it fed
a lot of families at the Dessalt factory where it
was built. He said, I'm sure it fed a bunch
of families at the rolled aluminum, oh that rolled aluminum
at the Alcoa factory. He said, it sure surely fed

(39:29):
a lot of people at the Honeywell factory, which I
have a close personal friend that works with Honeywell, and
their their mechanic side of things, you know, keeping the
engines running and stuff like that, where the experts built
the turbines. He said, it felt it fed a whole
company for weeks when I had them build me a

(39:53):
new interior. It fed, It feeds the families of the
linemen that fuel it, you know, and it's and it's
all of that, you know, all of that goes into
a capitalist system. Like if everybody is is working and
creating something, then all of those things, you know, work together.

(40:16):
Everybody's got a share of the money, and that money
just continues to get greater and greater as you go.
You know, it's it's the person who who falls behind,
who steps back and says, oh, I don't want to
work anymore, that that runs out of money. In a
full capitalist system, you know, if you create the greatest product,

(40:39):
if you continue to create the greatest product, you continue
to feed yourself. You continue to have the money because
you have the best product, people are gonna want to
buy it. You don't need subsidies, you don't need handouts.
And honestly, if we continue to do that, if the

(41:02):
food cost went up because farmers had to buy million
dollar tractors and things of that nature to be able
to create enough foods for us all to eat, then
we would all have the money to cover it because
products would go up, costs would go up, and we
would be able to all of us would end up

(41:25):
having more money because we charged more for the product
part that we were at. And it doesn't you know,
it wouldn't matter in the end how expensive things got,
how much inflation got, because you would be able to

(41:46):
cover it and there wouldn't be the inflation because their
value of goods would be the value of goods and
it's not the same. You know, same loaf of bread
that we bought three years ago is now worth you know,
it's now cost you know, three dollars or five dollars,
and it's still worth a buck. I mean it's still

(42:09):
the same bread. But that you know, putting that in
now you've got the value. You know, you've got maybe
more value of labor. And so that's why it would
be three dollars where now you know, we're back then,
you know, in a full capital system, that would be
the difference. You wouldn't have this just you know, passing

(42:31):
of the you know, everybody would pass the buck to
build a bigger, better deal. But right now we're just
passing the buck. You know, there's nothing new invented. There's
nothing better invented. We still have freaking Microsoft Windows. We
still have you know, we still have Mac computers. Where's

(42:53):
where's the where's the new operating system that is better?
Lennox isn't new. It's it's the same hard to figure
out programmer, developer, you know system that we had ten

(43:14):
fifteen years ago. There's there's you know, there's just nothing new.
And he said, and then this person says that that's
the difference in the capitalism welfare and the welfare mentality.
You know, when you buy something, you put money into
people's pockets. And that's that's where we've talked about, you know,

(43:36):
changing the taxes over to the flat tax. Well, right now,
we just pay a level of tax right off the top,
you just you just have to give it to the government,
and there's no there's no tax on the goods and
services that you get there. That's there. That's that's you know,

(44:01):
we're we're paying the government right off the top of
our paycheck, and then we're paying a tax on the
good goods and services we we you know, we get
where if you played it, paid a fat flat tax,
there's there's no getting out of it, just because you're
a giant corporation or you're a giant person, you know,

(44:22):
a person with a lot of money. The more you buy,
the more tax you would pay. The more you you consume,
the more tax you would pay. And so to lower
your your taxes, consume less, which seems like that would

(44:45):
be good for the environment, seems like that might be
good for the for the world, because it would be
an incentive to consume less, to build your own garden
to make your own things. But if you think about it,

(45:06):
then they wouldn't be able to control you, and then
they wouldn't be able to take your money and take
it right out of your hand as you're working. Look,
I mean think about this. If you pay twenty five

(45:27):
percent tax every dollar you make, you get to take
home seventy five percent. Thanks government, Thank you Uncle Sam
for letting me take home seventy five percent. That seems
like a great majority. Right. Well, yeah, but why do
they get to take twenty five percent of your taxes,

(45:48):
of your of your pay paycheck. Did they do anything
to I mean, do you do you have a right
to a job in this country? No, you have to
get up every day and you have to go out
to your job. You paid for all of the training

(46:11):
that it took to get that job. You paid for
all the schooling, you did, all of the work. The
government didn't do crap to get a dollar a twenty
five cents of every dollar that you make. That's why
where you know people are angry about the taxes. That's

(46:31):
why we don't want to give the government anymore. Is
that if there's a twenty or fifteen even they allow
you to have eighty five percent of your pay. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, that's more than God requires from you. The

(46:57):
Bible says, give a tenth to God and the government
gets fifteen percent. And that fifteen percent you don't even
get to see, like it's not in your bank account.
And then you're like, and that at the end of
the year, they're like, okay, tabulate it up. No, they
just right off the top. Now they do that because

(47:19):
if you didn't, or if they didn't, you're not used
to paying a giant tax bill at the end of
the year. And so you wouldn't take that fifteen percent
every month or every week or every two weeks and
set it in an account that raises five percent or
four percent every every quarter or every month and gain

(47:44):
that interest and then at the end of the year
you be able to pay them and then have still
a small chunk left over for starting the next year.
Sounds like a good idea, though, doesn't it. So that's

(48:06):
where you know, that's where this is. That's where the
welfare fair mentality came from. Is we give them the
money and then they're supposed to just do whatever we do.
But they didn't earn any of that money, and they
don't give us back fifteen percent of our of our
money worth in whatever they do for us, or twenty

(48:28):
percent of you know, depending on what what state you live.
In your state, you know is you almost have to
consider that rent. And that's why I tell you you
don't honestly own your house. You're you're just renting a location.
Even if you rent a place, you're just leasing a
lease on top of a lease. Because whatever you make

(48:51):
on top of that, you're going to put fifty percent
into that house, and then you're going to put twenty
five percent into your are and then fifteen percent goes
to the government or twenty percent, depending on what you make.
No wonder people can't can't afford to live anymore. You
you got five percent to live off of. And you know, honestly,

(49:17):
if you're if you're a Christian trying to do the
right thing, and you're throwing ten percent to into the
into the offering plate every week or every other week,
you're you're five percent down. So either you got to
you gotta figure out you're gonna live in a in
a crappier house, You're gonna live in a you're gonna

(49:40):
drive a crapier car or or you know, you're not
going to give give God what he's due. And uh,
because the government's taken it right off the top, you
don't even get to see it anymore. And honestly, if
I were the government, or if I were you know,

(50:02):
if if if I were a you know, a company
that charged you rent, I'd try to get you to
take it right out of your check too, because you know,
there's no guarantee that at the end of the month
you're going to make a decision to pay me. You're
going to make a decision to pay you know, whoever

(50:23):
whoever you're renting from, or or pay that big bill
because you're down five percent or you're down you know
you're gonna cut somewhere, and maybe you give me five
percent less every month, and you know then I don't
get it, So I'm definitely going to try to take

(50:44):
it out of your bill, out of your your check.
And so the government sets it up, takes it right
out of your check. So welcome, great, great, great place
to be. If you didn't realize you were in a
welfare state, we uh will we're here, this is what

(51:07):
we're at. But if you thought but you know, and
that and that's what it said. You know, that's that's
basically what the story was about. Is is it was
being you know, if you're if you're in if if
you are buying things from people, you're giving people the
dignity that their their job has some kind of self worth,

(51:29):
that whatever they're creating, whatever they're they're they're building is
is theirs is they they built that and it was
worth the money that you paid for it. And that's
where that's, honestly the unintended consequence of capitalism, of not
being in a welfare state. I mean, you can see

(51:52):
you can see over here where they give you the money,
or you can go over here where you're creating something
and you're getting paid for it and you know you're
creating something of value if you're getting something some value back,
and so that's you know, that's the difference, is that

(52:15):
you're you're showing people that they're worth it if you're
just trying to get you know, honestly, I mean think
about it, how hard did you work in high school?
And there are some people that worked incredibly hard and
because they knew that high school was their ticket out,

(52:36):
that if they'd worked really hard in high school. Then
they could do, you know, they could go on to
whatever else they were doing, whether it's sports or whether
it was college or you know, whatever it was. And
if they you know, that was their ticket out. But honestly,

(52:58):
I'll tell you, you know, to me, I had to work
a job during high school. And I honestly I got
my acceptance letter sometime early in my junior year of
high school for college, and you know, there wasn't much,

(53:19):
you know, they didn't say I had to keep a
certain grade point average or whatever. They kind of accepted
my application, and so I just you know, it was free.
I was just there hanging out until the end. As
long as I graduated, I was going on to college,
and I was out. And so you know, this says,

(53:41):
you know, capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange
for something of value. Socialism is taking your money against
your will and shoving something down your throat that you
never asked for. And so you know, it honestly is
the same type of deal with with what you did
in you know, how you were in school. It was free,

(54:07):
had to be there, So I was there. I didn't
care a ton about the education. They were giving me
because honestly, I learned quickly and I didn't want to
sit there and do busy work. I was beyond that.
I needed to. You know, I was already working a
job that was giving me money, and the school I

(54:29):
was spending eight hours a day not making any money
at it. So what was it there for? But I
went to culinary school, and you know, because I paid.
I was paying for it because I had chosen to

(54:52):
be there, because that was the field I had chosen
to be in. I worked incredibly hard at it and
graduating incredibly high in my class. I'm not going to
say that I was the best, but I did graduate
pretty high in my class, and people knew me in

(55:13):
my class as a hard worker and somebody that could
get the job done. So when it came to getting jobs,
I could get a job. I got a job out
of the field, out in the field. And you know,
there were people who had troubles getting jobs because they
didn't work hard, and they didn't they weren't known for that.

(55:34):
And when when the Dean talked to these different jobs
that were out there setting us, getting us set up,
they weren't part of you know, they he wouldn't recommend him,
and so so it's just, you know, it's just a

(55:58):
different mindset. It's it's say so mindset that you know,
nothing's given to you. And you know, honestly with honest
Abe and me and even Jay Boots, Peyton, Lady d even,

(56:22):
you know, we worked hard for everything we have. And
you know, the more and more you look at, you know,
where your hard and earned dollars go, the more you
realize that the government's not working hard for what it's got,
government's not working hard to helpe you in any way.

(56:49):
They aren't. They aren't aren't getting getting you. They just
you know, what what do they provide? You know, if
you can, if you can comment or send me an
email about you know, ten things they provide, then I

(57:15):
would I would be surprised because you can almost barely
say that they provide security, which the government is supposed to.
That's the one, that's the one thing that they're supposed to.
They're supposed to provide you security, and they're supposed to
be they're supposed to be the the security force. They're

(57:35):
supposed to provide you with security force, so a police force,
a whatever, but that's it. That's that's honestly, the main
credo of having a government is to provide you safety
and security. So if that safety and security means like

(57:57):
this country is a big country, it has a lot
of resources. It has honestly one of the one of
the greatest things is the constitution it has. But if
people want to take over your country or want to
come in and and be part of, you know, want

(58:22):
to change your lifestyle, then that then your country has
the responsibility to keep you safe. And with the open
border in the South, you can you can pretty much
all but you know, you can you can say that
they're not they're not doing their job. So I don't know.

(58:59):
It just the more and more that I that I
see it, the more and more I pushed into it,
the more it upsets me. How much you know, we
we have no control over you know, for one, we
have very little control over where our money goes anymore,
because like I said, about half of it. I mean,

(59:22):
if you look at at rent rates even here in Ohio,
which are low compared to a lot of places you know,
to to rent. My house is two almost two and
a half times my mortgage, and three years ago I

(59:47):
could get a house at a bit smaller for a
little less than my mortgage on rent. So in an

(01:00:13):
article here that says a hobbit bone was discovered. Archaeologists
have discovered the tiny arm bone on the Indonesian island
of Flores, belonging to the smallest ancient human species on record.
The finding helped shed light on the evolution of the

(01:00:36):
Homo flores Zian Florinesian yeahsius, an early relative of the
ancient humans. The seven hundred thousand year old incomplete fossil
measures three point five inches long and makes up the

(01:00:59):
upper arm bone, known as the humorous They're nicknamed the
hobbits due to their diminutive size, stood at roughly three
and a half foot tall and coexisted with unique island
fauna such as the pygmy elephants, rabbit sized rats, and

(01:01:23):
komodo dragons. Are they sure they found a person or
you know, a piece of an arm or was it
like a dog bone like? The discovery of the bone
and other fossils suggest that they underwent significant significant body

(01:01:46):
size reduction in their evolutionary history due to the isolation
or isolated environment and the limited resources on Flores, a
phenomenon known as Island dwarfism, which if you think about that,
that actually goes against all evolution in general, like if

(01:02:10):
the strongest survive, that means that you're always getting bigger.
I mean you can even say that from the forties
if you look at the the uniforms and things of
military men and as just as just like a catalyst
or a standing point, we are we are so much

(01:02:33):
bigger now than we were even then. And it's not
just bigger around. We're taller. You know, the average heights
back then was like five six five eight, and now
you would say the average heights about about six foot
close to six foot, maybe five to eleven to six foot.

(01:02:57):
And so you know, even that, you know, so to go,
you know, to get a dwarfism because you're not like
unless yeah, I just I don't, I don't see the
way you you know, unless it's the weakest of the
species are are the ones that are are having, you know,

(01:03:22):
are reproducing, you would think that, you know, even the
biggest dwarf would have another big dwarf, would have another
big dwarf type deal. I don't know, that's just me.
I'm just you know, just one big old American talking

(01:03:43):
about dwarfism. So again, have you guys followed the Olympics.
I've been watching a little bit of it. That's uh
that uh, you know, finding eight guys that you know,
eighth place was nine seconds, nine point nine to one

(01:04:05):
seconds and you got eighth place in one hundred meter dash.
I mean every single person ran under a ten I was.
It was a heck of a race. And uh, you know,
just like this is this is, this is knowing the rules.

(01:04:26):
You know, everybody's like, oh, his foot was across, his
foot was across. Well, as you know, the rule is
his body was across because at one time they had
his foot, they had whoever crossed the finish line, no
matter what. And people were literally like diving, they were
throwing their bodies across the line. Well, when you're running

(01:04:46):
at somewhere around twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty three
miles an hour and twenty four miles an hour and
you die, you know like that, let's preserve the person
and make it an intelligent deal kind of you know,
like horses or whatever. It's it's it's just easier to

(01:05:09):
be able to like see the nose. And honestly, sometimes
there are ties. You know where that person is just
within million, millions or hundreds of millions apart, and you
just can't you can't split them. And so but yeah,

(01:05:30):
that's that one hundred meters if you haven't seen it,
just to see such a great race, I mean, just
like everybody was like right there. The winner won like
eight millions of a second, right, yeah, I think it
was point zero zero eight, So eight millions of a

(01:05:51):
second faster than the next place. Guy. Uh, it looks
like open ai co founder John Schulman, uh departs the
country the company he's going to join the rival anthropic.

(01:06:13):
Schulman says move allows him to return to more of
a hands on technical work. Some people just like to
do the work more. The company gets too big, you
got to run the company day to day. And he's seen,
he's he's been making announcements like that for a while now.

(01:06:38):
New electronic sensor mimics the feeling of water droplets on
the skin may allow robots and advanced prosthetics to replicate
the feeling of wetness. Okay, I mean I saw the
Terminator movies, I saw the Matrix. I'm out. But you know,

(01:07:03):
maybe maybe this is a good thing. Pandas are returning
to the San Diego Zoo for the first time in
five years, and I remember we were we were even

(01:07:30):
we even commented about this that the Chinese had a
one hundred or a fifty year deal about it or
something one hundred year deal twenty nineteen and it came
up and people were saying, well, why don't we just
keep them blah blah blah, and yeah, so, uh, San

(01:08:00):
Diego Zoo as Americans will soon meet the first bandas
the zoo has had since twenty nineteen. The arrival of
pandas is not just to treat for visitors, but is
also a symbol of decades long China US China relations.
So we're basically getting from China again and they were,

(01:08:22):
like the last time, we just basically rented them. Yeah,
it says. First bandits who made their home in the
US arrived at Washington, d C. National Zoo in nineteen

(01:08:45):
seventy two. They were a gift to the First Lady
pat Nixon after historic visit to China with President Richard
Nixon that helped establish diplomatic relations between the country. From
then on, fifty years of Panada diplomacy helped boost the
panda population and their popularity, with millions of adoring fans

(01:09:09):
watching every tumble, snow day, and birth. China owns the
pandas and typically leases them out for ten year terms
at a million dollars per day per pare. Oh, no,
per year. Sorry, that million dollars per day would be crazy,

(01:09:30):
million dollars per year per per pare. So two pandas
go for about ten million dollars leasing them for a
year or for ten years. Sorry, So about five hundred
thousand dollars a year for each panda, So five million

(01:09:51):
dollars for their lifetime, you know, ten to twenty years lifespan. Yeah,
but they have. We've had increased tension with Beijing and
the West. China appeared to be pulling back. They kept
they started pulling back to bears as lease has expired.

(01:10:14):
A recent signal from Chinese President Xijing jij in ping
indicated a thulling of icy panda relationship relations and he's
raised hopes his country would start sending pandas to the
US again. After he and Joe Biden convened in North

(01:10:39):
China for the first time, first face to face meeting
in a year. Pledged to try to reduce tensions and
continue their cooperation. China is so weak at this point.
They gave they gave the world an epidemic. They lied
about their population censuses. You know, there is also some

(01:11:03):
talk about them not having any kind of of actual money,
that their their economy is weakening because for one, we
put we put some sanctions on just like not sanctions,
but we put tariffs on them so that more things

(01:11:26):
came in from the US or we bought more US
things things coming from China. Guy was more expensive, Thank you,
Donald Trump. Too bad that they had pretty much got
repealed about the second that, you know, Biden got in office.
But you know, we had a good four years, I think,

(01:11:49):
except for COVID. But yeah, so good thing. Pandas are back.
We're working with China again. Love it, sending them ten
million dollar so great, so great. Well with that, I
think this one is over. You know, if you have
someone with any kind of ill mental illness, or any

(01:12:13):
kind of issue that's that holds them back, you know,
try to understand. Let's just try to be an understanding population.
You know, even I know in my in my time
that I'm not always the most understanding and so you know,

(01:12:34):
it's just something I just I've tried to practice more
over the years. Is just trying to understand and you know,
with all that, so you know, if you can support
