It's 70 degrees. So all I'm trying to say is, I'm talking with Alec, if you missed the beginning of our conversation, you'll have to catch it on a podcast. So all I'm saying is every generation thinks they had it harder than the one before them. And you're saying... And I'm saying to you, it wasn't easy when I was young. I mean, a lot of people couldn't afford a house then. They didn't make enough money. They didn't save money or they spent foolishly or whatever. So you had to make sacrifices to build verb manner when we build it. And when you sign that loan, you were on the hook for it. Sure. I mean, so what are you saying to? I'm not going to agree on that. I'm not talking about any outliers from, you know, the baby boomer generation or the outliers from the younger generation. I'm talking about the entire United States of America as a whole together. And I'm just speaking from a mathematical standpoint. If you take the correlation between what people made in the 50s, 60, 70s, and what a house cost, what your groceries, your insurance, or child care. And you take that proportionately to what people are making now, to what a home cost. And I don't want people to call in, well, kids don't work hard anymore, or they just don't want to do those jobs, or they want a big house. Well, I'm sorry, most younger people, yeah, you want to live in a safe neighborhood. You know, you're not buying a house for $60,000, okay? You want to live in a safe area, which is the average home now. You can look online right now. I've seen houses with four by four inch pink tile in the bathroom, $400,000. Okay, you can't come out. of school a hundred thousand dollars in debt and try to buy that and here's the other thing wrong even the other generations before you Their wife wasn't working in most of the scenarios. So, yeah, the husband, I get it. It was tough. Believe me, it's a lot easier now to do things sitting on your couch from your phone. I could book a vacation while sitting on my couch. You couldn't do that before. I've gone more places than my grandfather ever even do exist. I get that. I'm just talking strictly from a financial standpoint, which brings me all the way back to the origination of my phone call. It's because the money system. Everything comes back to that. When there is more money, it dilutes your dollar. And it's getting worse and worse. And there's no end in sight. So the only thing I'm coming back. And you understand, I don't disagree with you on that. If you're talking about the debt deficit of the country and...

some of these dumb decisions making it too easy for people to sit on their ass and everything. I don't disagree with you on any of that, right? It's gotten exponentially worse, and it's not the younger generation who's done that, okay? I'm not saying that if they were older, they might not do the same thing, but I can only go by the facts and figures I see right in front of me. And it's not the early 20-something, the 30-something-year-olds who are putting these into, you know, law and moving forward. The can is getting kicked down the road, and the older generation are the ones protecting themselves. I don't blame them one bit, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. But pause for one second. I want that there. I want that to be there for you. And the same concerns you had, I had when I was younger as well. So I want it to be there. I sit here and I say, listen. You with ad nauseum, you know, I want to beat my head against the wall because of the bull crap that takes place in this community. And I do mean in this community that isn't in other communities. And the reality is these people in politics today... that I drag on constantly are making this situation worse for you. So am I concerned about the senior citizen? Yes. But I'm also concerned about everybody in between, as you hear me talk about ad nauseum, to say, these people... are making it harder for young people to buy a home and get started with their life with the burden of property taxes. I mean, I look at my own home and what they were when I started and what they are now. And that's why I sit here and applaud and put on Dave Thomas. That's why I get these people with signing the petitions. We got more signatures. I can't think of any other radio host anywhere that's helping these people that get signatures. for this constitutional amendments. I mean, I'm doing everything I can do to say these people that my commissioners, this library group, none of these people give a damn about the burden they're creating for young people to be able to buy a home. They are the problem. And I'm trying to stop it from growing and making it worse, not for you, but for people that are younger than you. And you've got to help me. Do that. I mean, I think in talking to you long enough, you got to understand me from a personal standpoint, and I believe you do. Do you know deep down how pissed I am about this? Seriously, Alex.

I know you are because you wouldn't have these people on if you didn't care. You just listen to random, you know, complaints all day long, and that would get terrible. You want to do something about it, and I can tell you're passionate about it, and everybody listening that frequently listens, learns so much that they would have never known because we really have no local news that isn't partisan, and this is how you actually figure out information moving forward. And this is what it takes for people to actually understand what's going on, try to get it fixed. It's just the problem is most people aren't informed enough, and they just don't care. And that's the sad truth of the matter. That is true. That's true. I don't know what it will take to move forward. But like Dave Thomas has said, too, you know, I don't want to track. Let me respond to that and then get your feedback. This has just been my observation over the years, and the statement you made is 100% true. I watched it happen firsthand. when these trade agreements were coming around when Perrault was around, right? And NAFTA and GATT. And you're right. Most people, and I was bitching about him then, and I was 100% with Perot on it. Everything he said about stagnant wages, the sucking sound, ended up coming true. So people didn't pay attention to it until they started losing their job. You follow me till their husband lost their job, till their kids couldn't find a job. You saw entire communities, including people in this community, and in Buffalo, entire towns wiped out, businesses that left, thousands of people losing jobs, and they lost their homes, and drug addiction went up, and crime went up, and communities lost their tax base. I watched it happen, and those people who didn't pay attention, guess what they started doing? Paying attention because it started affecting them. That's what it takes sometimes. Go ahead. And sometimes, though, sometimes it's too late, and the poo-poo's already hit the fan, and that's what happened. Because we had local politicians that weren't forward-thinking or forward-looking, and we had uninformed voters. And this is all the problem with, again, everything like I've mentioned, when you have money that's just going everywhere, and there's a trickle-down of your dollar for your time, it makes things very difficult. Of course, we could fix the politician. Of course, we could fix this bill or this or that. But at the end of the day, there are no consequences to a lot of these actions. There's no consequence to the politician who screws up, okay? They just get more money from their political fund. They win re-election. They sit there. They twiddle their thumbs. They hire their friends. And then we all have to pay for their exorbitant health care costs after they retire at the age of 55. Right. Exactly. Instead of saying, do we even need this position? Did you listen? I just ask you. When I played that hour long, when I did that hour thing with Ron DeSantis' audio from Florida, did you happen to hear that at all? You know, I didn't get a chance to listen to that. Because I'm going to do something I don't like to do on a regular basis. I think I'm going to play it again.

And I'm going to play it again, and people say, well, boy, he's the governor of Florida. What's that got to do with us up here? It's what he's saying in his philosophy and why things are better in Florida. Why every year in Florida they're spending less money than they did the year before, not adjusted for inflation. So they're shrinking the size of government. So they're saying, like he said, we'll spend our tax dollars on putting another lane on I-4 because that will benefit people and benefit their life as opposed to hiring some cronies in some bull crap position that's not necessary. Or he asks, he says, like in Broward County, why do they want to double the amount of money the school gets when the student population school has declined? You follow me? I mean, when you listen to what the guy says, you realize he's educated, he's a lawyer, he's educated, and he reads. My problem with the people that are running this community is, I don't think a lot of them are educated or they read. I really don't think that they actually sit down and read. You know, like when I have them, I'll never forget when I had the Fabiwani saying, well, what about these people? What about these? He was talking about everybody's problems except the taxpayer, the guy paying it. Oh, I understand, Ron. No, no, you really don't understand. You lip it and you say you understand. But you have the ability to fix it, do something about it. But you don't. You follow me? Talk is cheap. Deeds are precious. I'm so sick of these people saying they understand. No, you don't understand what you're doing. You don't understand what you're doing to old people. You don't understand what you're doing to young people. And you don't understand what you're doing to everybody in between. They don't get it. Would you agree with that, Alec? I do. And part of the problem is if you do get it and try to run for that position, you will be pushed out of your party or not welcomed into the group. So it's hard to even get elected into that position to even have your voice in a position of power where you can represent the taxpayer because you'll never get elected. And that is the problem because we have too many cronyisms around here. where we don't get politicians and I will say it's not all. But, you know, for the most part, we don't get things done because once you get in that position, you get your nice benefits, you get your nice new office, and then you get a nice retirement, and then your friends are taking care of, like I said. Because they don't hear from the taxpayer because the taxpayer goes to work all day, comes home, tries to spend time with their family. fix some things in their house, ride their bike, and maybe go on a vacation once in a while. And they don't have time to go down to the commissioner's office and try to get a meeting through nine layers of secretary to get the point where they don't really care. So that's the problem. There's just not enough people to overwhelm that to actually get it done. Because, again, if you ask 99 out of 100 people in that grocery store, if you ever pulled anybody, they wouldn't be able to tell you a commissioner, who their mayor is.

who the governor is, I bet you some people wouldn't even be able to tell you who the vice president of the United States is at this point in time. Because we have an uneducated system. And the problem is all of their votes count the same as my vote and your vote and everybody else listening who's well educated. So what are we to do? And it's really getting tough and it's really making us all angry because just like you said, you keep working more and you keep feeling poor and poorer even though you have more money than you probably ever thought you would have when you were. you know, 20 years old. And it just blows your mind. It makes you just shake your head. what are we doing and how does it get fixed? Somebody's got to come in almost incognito into a political office where they say one thing to be elected and actually go in and fix it. But guess what? Fixing things, just like fixing a house, sometimes you've got to tear things down to actually fix the problem. The problem is the voter sees you're trying to tear it down at first, trying to actually rectify the issue and fix it moving forward. And they say, oh, you didn't fix it. time to go, and then you're gone, and then your political party outcast. You get no money from your local party, and then there it is. We're right back to the same system we were at before, and the problems continue, continue, continue, because there are no consequences. When you say that, you just, you were reminding me of... I was looking at these, I don't know if you pay attention to this or not, let me find this for one second. These people that applied, you know, George Santos, of course, got a county job now. You follow me? I mean, he's, you know, so he's leaving as trustee, you know, because, you know, he got a county job. Okay, fine. So you got these people that put in their... letter to replace them as a trustee you follow me in the township and and i go through this list i'll tell you i'm i'm ignorant to that uh okay that story right there all right but but i but i go through and i look at all of these names you know and i and i read read read about him and i think to myself i don't see really any of them talking enough about the taxpayer You follow me? I mean, as far as the taxpayer and becoming efficient. So I go through all these names. And quite frankly, I'll be blunt with you. I think there's only two people on this list of 13 that are even worth considering. And obviously, obviously one of them is Dittsler because I'm here to tell you he was an excellent trustee when he was trustee in Austin Town. I mean, so, I mean. He's very smart. I want. And the other one is probably Rapovey that was a councilman in Youngstown.

I think those are the only two of all the people that are the, you know, I don't care that you, that you're a Kowan and, you know, this kind of stuff like, oh, I donated, you know, I was part of this organization or that organization. I don't care. That means absolutely nothing to me and means nothing to your ability to be able to do a job as a trustee. I mean, do you have an understanding economic sense? of what's going on. And I only think, too, of all these people that applied, have any abilities, really, and that would be Dittsler and Rapovie. The rest of them, I wouldn't want any of the rest of them. I don't care that you supported the dunk tank or whatever stupid thing like that. It's ridiculous. Well, they've been putting us all in the dunk tank, and I'll tell you, I would like a politician. I don't care what level you're talking about. That does have higher political aspirations, because I want you to be the mayor, the congressman, the governor, whoever. When you're in a position, I want you to build a resume and do as good as you can so you can talk it up for the next position. Hold that thought. Back with him and more of your calls.

I enjoyed my discussion with you. I won't keep you any longer. But we'll carry it on in the future, okay? All right. Now, all the boomers out there, don't be mad at me. Just think about where you're leaving the country. Right. I don't, I'm trying to say to you, though, things that things are where it's never been everybody thinks it's easier for the people before them my father made made less money you know than i did but he kept more of the money that he was making and things cost a lot less so that so there's like a gauge on that but but i i mean you understand his house his house was smaller than a house i that i achieved he wanted his kids like the typical people of the time to do better than he did. He insisted that you got educated, as you did. But he also insisted, insisted that you knew how to roof the house, that you know how to fix the car, that you knew how to do things. It was a different time. You follow me, but I look at my children that are adults, they know how to fix things. They know to operate machinery. They're educated. And they are, if your kids are better than you are, you've been a success. Would you not agree if you've, if you've, if you've. That. That's right there. I think the ultimate goal for any generation is to have your kids do better off than you. And that's that right there in lies, I think, the point where I think we're starting to get to a point where some of these generations now, this one included, are starting to be worse than the one before. And I'm not talking about just financially. I'm talking about everything else, the morals, the ethics. the religion, everything. And that is all a problem that leads into everything we just talked about. So where is it falling off? We all have to do better. And I think, you know, society in itself has fallen apart in many ways, but there needs to be consequences for these things and there just aren't. Correct. Consequences to bad decisions that you make. I'm in total agreement with that. You have to, you have to own it. Your father had to look at you and say he achieved it because you've done better than he did. You know, I look at my own, in my own case, my own son that I work with, and it's the biggest joy of my life is working with him. But he's smarter. You know, he's just smarter. He's, he's just, he's just. I don't even know how to describe it. You know, he's just very intelligent. He's very, he's got good standards. You follow me. Ethical standards, smartness, work ethic. And that's what you should want as a parent.

I just leave you with that. And I think your dad would say the same thing about you. You follow me? I would say the same exact thing, and that's all you could want for your kids, too. I think that's a good point to end on, because we just covered a lot, and that right there ties it all in. That's correct. And I would like to see more younger people involved in some of these positions. You follow me in some younger thought guys like you. that's in these positions. I appreciate your time, and I thank you for it. News Radio 570, WDKBN. You're on the air. Hi. Good evening, Ron. How are you? I've had a fascinating discussion with Alec. I heard parts of it, yeah. I'm exhausted. Well. I need to take a nap. You're processing some big issues that have far-ranging consequences over a long period of time. But you heard what I was saying. Every generation thinks the one before them had it easier. And that's not always the case. You know, like, gee, my dad had it much easier than I did. No, you know, and then I think, my dad is lucky he lived through World War II. You follow me? I mean, it's like, oh, he had it much better. Well, no, he's lucky he made it through that and came out alive and didn't die as a young man and occupied a lot of his life. And then I look at my older brother, well, you know, you could have died in, you could have died in Vietnam, you could have got Agent Orange, you could have, I looked at what was going on during that time when he was young. You follow me? When he was a young man. So, is that, so today a lot of young people, well, you're not, don't have to worry about being drafted. You've joined a military if you wish there's a lot more opportunities in the trades and easier to get in a lot of these jobs. That's all I'm trying to say. It's not always, boy, the boomers had it made. Really? Tell Dan Rivers how he had it made when he was face down into damn mud in Vietnam when he was 20 years old. Tell him how lucky he was, okay? I'm done. Well, I mean, your points are about there are certain elements of the way the world is now that just make life better for everybody, right? Okay, so that's true. Stand by, please. Stand by. Stand by G2 coming back with, I think, I'm hoping some great insight on this. Back in a minute. Stay tuned. News Radio 570, WKVS. Columbus residents at City Council District 7 can help decide how $1 million in public funding will be spent through the city's participatory budgeting program. A community meeting is set for tonight where people can suggest projects like park improvements, better street lighting, safer crosswalks, or more green space. The ideas will be put to a public vote later this year with the winning projects receiving funding. Residents who cannot attend the meeting can still submit their ideas online. And in the meantime, a nearly $1 billion aircraft manufacturing facility is coming to Springfield. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine helped announce the new Electra Aero Factory at Airport Park yesterday. The Virginia-based company is planning to build a plan to produce its EL9 ultra-short hybrid electric aircraft at the new site, creating roughly 2,000 jobs. Construction is expected to start next year.

All right, go ahead, G2. So the battle between the boomers and the Gen Z folks, which has really reached a high pitch right now. There are valid arguments on both sides. Yeah, the boomers bought homes that were run down and rebuilt them in their 20s and, you know, and did all the painting and the spackling and got, you know, put new bathrooms in and created wealth with their sweat equity, you know, with effort by making those homes better than flipping them, getting to a bigger one. There was a, there was a lot of work done. These people worked hard to do those things. At the same time, And a lot of the younger people came out of their parents' homes and expected to live at the same level that they were accustomed to as their parents' children, which typically was not what happens. You know, you've got to go build a life. A lot of them were impatient. All those are legitimate complaints or points. But when the boomers start to talk down to these Gen Z folks and dismiss their concerns, that really is inciting a lot of... a lot of this anger. You know, comments like, you think, you think that history began in 2015, or, you know, these kind of comments, you're all lazy and stupid. They're not. On the Gen Z and the millennials, the younger millennial side, if you're at that 18 to 39 age and you want to go buy a house, If you compare median incomes to homes, they're now much more expensive than they were. Well, they're bigger. Well, maybe they are. But it doesn't change the fact that to get into a market and buy a home today is much more difficult than it was 20 years ago. I'll say yes to that, but they are, in many cases, square foot wide, a lot of times much bigger. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison in many ways. But it doesn't matter, because if you want to get into home ownership, you can only buy the homes that exist. And if you're going to go buy a home in some places, I know one market that's really...

I don't know why it's like this, but I know one market where the home that would have been purchased at two times median income 35 years ago is now six times median income. See, and that's the key is the relationship between your income because it's inflation and all this theft in the federal government has really distorted things. Yeah, but let me ask you this with the inflation. If you're a boomer with a home and you say, well, my home's now worth whatever, $500,000. Yeah. Okay, so if you sell your own, you get your $500,000. Well, if you're going to go buy another place, you'll be shocked at what a smaller place is going to cost you. You follow me? It's not like you've got all this wealth because if you're going to buy a, if you're going to go, you've got to live somewhere and it's going to cost you a boatload of money. to do something like that it's all it's all relevant can i i want to just mention one thing while i still got on my mind and then you can take here's what i admire about like my daughters my daughter's uh generation if you will 28 28 9 year old okay they they they how how do i put this and i'm curious your reaction to it They don't put up with a lot of the crap from a lot of businesses. You follow me? In other words, their attitude is this business isn't going to be loyal to me and I'm not going to be loyal to it. You follow me? In other words, I'm going to do the best job I can do for you here. But if there's a better opportunity here and they treat me better here, I'm leaving here and I'm going over here. I'm not going to be here for 30 years or whatever. I'm going to go over to this place. They don't put up with the crap. Do you understand what I'm saying? Absolutely. Someone was telling me the other day. For example, at a place where they worked at the air conditioning went out and it was hot as hell there, the people of my daughter's generation that age all left. They all, they didn't stay and continue to work. They said, we'll come back when you fix the air conditioning and we can work in that environment. Till then, we're not going to be there. I mean, there's something about that I admire. Well, remember how it started. Companies displayed absolutely zero loyalty to their employees. Right. In return, the employees display zero loyalty to the companies. And so as long as there are jobs to go to where you can make the same or better income, as long as you have that economic freedom, that opportunity to maintain prosperity but still have a choice, that's great. And if you're maybe a nurse, you can do that because there's a high demand for nurses. But overall, there are some real problems in the job market for these people. And remember, we talked about this a thousand times. Before Donald Trump's first term, we went through three decades of falling wages. Right. All right. So home prices are going up in inflation and just the terms, and wages were going down. And that's because we imported skilled, unskilled, and semi-skilled labor.

Right? And we rolled up businesses, which created fewer small companies. There's some structural changes in the economy that have given this Gen Z. you know, this generation, some really economic challenges. But I'm going to count as fast as we can. Right. I would counter that by saying, before you go that far, don't think that didn't affect the baby boomers, as Perra said, when they were shipping everything out of the country, and Perra said the sucking sound, and we had stagnant wages for 20 or 30 years. for the baby boomers we saw people lose their jobs their careers and so the company shut down and lose their homes and everything that was the boomers yeah oh this is stressed everybody but when you look at wealth accumulation the baby boomer generation has done very very well compared to prior generation some of it some of it has yeah not everybody look There are a lot of people who are in that baby boomer age. They're having a hard time keeping their homes because of property taxes. Right. They're on fixed incomes and so on. But as a general matter, it was easier to buy a house 30, 40 years ago because meeting income versus meeting home price, the relationship was closer. And once again, my father took home 90% of what he made. Everything was lower. And it's not just income taxes, it's income taxes, it's fees, it's fines. Right. Go get a speeding ticket. You've got to take out a loan to pay the fine. They tack on, there's a small fine for the speeding, but they tack on fees and all the things related to completely unrelated things because the government can't stop seizing your money. So fees and fines and costs, and then these property taxes that are completely out of control. townships that never had income taxes now implementing income taxes because they can't tax your property fast enough. They have to find another way to come at you for a township. What are you doing with all this money? Oh, if you don't give us the money, we're going to take away your police protection. Well, wait a minute, where's the money going? We need more money. Stop asking questions. Well, you hear it with the guy with, you know, the county commissioner. In Mahoney County, who, you know, talked like he was one of the people. Now he's in office. He's like, hey, I can't cut any of the spending. This is all extremely important. We have to take more of your money. Why, you know, the minute he got his position in that seat. He flips his narrative to, I've got to take more of your money. So you've got taxes going up. You've got regulatory burdens going up. You've got inflation being driven by all this spending. Well, there's a huge part of the population that has made huge profits in their stock portfolios and even in their salaries from the $2.5 trillion dollar deficits we're now running. A lot of that money goes out and buys these lake homes.

A lot of it's used in the fraud that's produced so much wealth redistribution, right? Just smallies come in and steal $20 billion. Well, that's $20 billion they took from somebody. So I'm just saying it's a complicated argument, but you cannot dismiss the challenges of the generation that's looking ahead and saying, wait a minute, you told me to learn to code. Now you're telling me only Indians can code, and to get somebody who can code, you have to go to Bangalore or to Chennai, but you certainly can't hire an American from Case Western. Can't do that. You've got to go to Chennai or Bangalore. And now I've got to compete with this. So I'm going to take my computer science degree, and I'm going to go work at a restaurant for a while. I mean, this is, you know, you're dismissing the whole. departments of people and replacing them with people from India. For what reason? Well, because they work for less, and once they get into a decision-making position, they have a very racist policy of only hiring Indians. So then we say, well, okay, Trump's going to take care of the H-1Bs. He comes in, he gets pressured by India and all of the tech companies, all the billionaires. He gets pressure from Israel, all these places, the H-1B stay. Well, they're going to say, wait a minute. You promised me you were going to deal with these things. I learned, you said learn to code. I learned to code. Now you're saying, I don't know, go to Hyderabad and code there. It's just, there are structural problems that are creating real difficulty for people. You said, okay, well, you know, go do manual labor. Well, we bring all our carpenters from Honduras. You know, okay, we've got a shortage of skilled trades. Why aren't we educating the Americans at a faster rate? Why are we importing carpenters from Honduras? I was in a meeting where a company that needed carpenters was bragging about how they, rather than getting Americans, they got them from Honduras. They found a pipeline and started bringing people up, training them, and putting the work for less money than Americans would charge. Their argument was they couldn't find Americans to do the work, but you and I know that's not true. You can find Americans to do the work. You can't find Americans who can do the work at the price of a third world migrant. So you bring in 20 million people and drive up the cost of apartments. So now these kids are saying, well, all right, I can't afford a house because it's gone from 3.2 times to 5.2 times my income. That's out. You know, I've got insurance and interest rates and these things to handle. So somebody go rent an apartment. Oh. Look at the rental costs because we brought in 20 million people and the government began to pay the rent. So now that person there's, you know, maybe, I don't know, some normal job. Now they're not just competing with other renters for that, for that rental unit. They're competing with the federal government who's putting foreigners in there. In the UK, in Ireland, they're removing Irish people from homes and replacing them with migrants. They're kicking them out of their homes and replace them with migrants. If they have any kind of credit issue, they miss a rent, payment, boom, they're out. Incomes the migrant, and the government pays the rent. This is happening. So you've gone after the housing market, made it very expensive to rent apartments. You've made, you know, with regulations, the cost of cars has gone up dramatically.

The cost of driving a car. And you could argue some of that's technology. I mean, we have cars now with airbags so you're safer in it if you get a wreck. We have cars where a backup camera is mandatory, which is probably a good idea for safety sake. There's more things on a car that do drive up the cost and a lot more technology in there. So they're more expensive. You can still buy a Chevy Tracks for $25,000,000, though. I mean... Yeah, but it used to be 15. And so... Right. So, you know, the kill switch is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Now, I know Thomas Massie had to be run out of Congress because he opposed the kill switch and other things. Yeah. Well, the kill switch means that I have to go write a check for a car that I have to pay for... an increase in technology so that the government can monitor my location and turn off my car. I have to pay for that because the government mandated it and the Republican Party refuses to stand up again. All right. Now here's the argument, and I'm going to give you the argument and I'm going to give you the answer. Are you ready? Yeah. Well, you're paranoid. The government doesn't care where you're going or what you're doing or they're not that interested in your business. In general, that's probably a pretty true statement. But wait a minute. Let's say. That was true, right? Until you're the Canadian truck drivers and you're at a protest and they say, we're going to cut off your banking and everything because we don't want you here and we don't like what you're doing. Then it does matter. You follow what I'm saying? When they say you're... Let me give you one closer to home. All right. Back in 2020 and 2021, parents saw for the first time what was happening in their schools. They had no idea. They assumed the schools were the schools they went to. They saw the grooming. They saw the pornography. They saw these bizarre lessons that are telling them the country is horrible. Their kids are horrible. This one's an oppressor. That one's oppressed. You know, this radical, woke ideology being drilled into their children finally got exposed. So they started going to school board and complaining. The... There's a bullet that comes out of the government on a regular basis, out of homeland, identifying the most critical threats. Yeah. They put parents going to school board meetings on there. So if you were a parent. AG2, don't forget Catholics, too. Oh, they got to Catholics. Oh, Catholics to go to Latin math. Yeah, yeah. Right? And, of course, white people, white people. Well, you know, the idea that they made nationalism a bad thing is a fascinating use of propaganda. You care about your country. You're loyal to your country. You want your country to do well? You're a troublemaker, G2. You're a bad person. So think about these examples. A Catholic going to a Catholic mass is driving a car there unless they're Amish, right? Or can walk. So all you have to do now is...

is geo-fence that mass, identify all the phones in there, and then geo-fence all those cars in this next generation of technology, and you'll know who's at that mass and who isn't, and if you don't want them going to that mask, you can turn off their car. Right, and as goofy as all of this sounds, I mean, because you've got to admit if you're listening to this, you've got to say, this guy's a paranoid nut. But it happened in Canada with the truck drivers during the COVID protest. Well, in Australia, if they decided you were exposed, they would turn off your bank accounts. And put you in like a TB center against your will. The Army would come and pick you up and take you to a camp. Yeah. So this is real. It is happening. Yes, the federal government put parents going to school board meetings on a list of enemies of the state, and those people were beginning to be surveilled. They were being surveilled. So all this technology is designed. So anybody that is foolish enough to think. That the Fourth Amendment was written by people who didn't understand the nature of government. That's just silliness. Stand by. We're watching you, G2. We know where you are. I have a satellite phone in an undisclosed location. We'll be right back. If you run a business, you know. From the Kingdom of Mahoning, 554 News Radio 570. 570. Would it shock you if I said the following statement to you, G2? That it wouldn't surprise me at all, at all, if they're not surveilling you. Well, I had a discussion with somebody with a group of people over the last three days, two, three days about what we call compiling coincidences.

Okay? Sounds very scientific, doesn't it? There's a compilation. There are concurrent coincidences popping up all over the place all the time. And you can tell when they're happening and when they're not. And the truth of the matter is I don't do anything that would be worthy of surveillance, and yet I know I've been surveilled. And I'm telling you that if you went to school board meetings and you complained about the sexualization of the school environment, you were being surveilled, you were potentially being tracked, you may have been surveilled online, you probably ended up on a list if you did it more than a couple of times. So anyone foolish enough to say, I'm willing to trade my freedom for safety. We'll end up with neither. Because sooner or later, the oppression will grow, the economic burden of government is going to keep growing until people finally say they've had enough. And when you say you've had enough, that's when they will come for you. So, you know, it is just so naive and childish to think that government is somehow your friend. It is not. And, you know, to that end, they passed the NDAA today with a $1.1 trillion number on it. in the house, not through the Senate yet. And with this Section 219 that integrates Israel into our military system, something that's never been done. And people are all, no, no, no, again, they're not given them command authority. Well, they seem to be able to command Congress. I don't know. There's no other country we're integrating into our system. What is the purpose of this? Well, we'll be more efficient. We don't need laws to make us more efficient. The military has a lot of ways to improve its efficiency. There's no law required. This is not in service to the United States. The fact that we don't have representation in Congress is going to make things worse until it gets to a point where that person that thinks they're okay because the government's their friend is going to realize the government's not their friend, and they're going to wish they had something like a Fourth Amendment to protect them.

So that passed the House? Pass the House. Seven Republicans voted no. Chip Roy was one. Higman was one. Some great folks Timbershed, I think, voted no. Of course, Thomas Massie, who had to be removed from Congress because Israel got mad at him. Voted no. I mean, why would you ever want that merger? That is so wrong. The reason you want that merger is that you now, rather than have to get foreign aid, the money that goes to Israel goes to the military budget, which has no scrutiny, no oversight, no reporting. None of us will ever again know how much money Israel is getting once this passes. So you want that because you're either getting money from Israel or you're getting money from the defense industry that's going to use this connection to longer more money. That's why. We'll talk more about that, perhaps, tomorrow or Friday, if we get time. But remember that. Remember where we're going to start. Got it? Until then, here's my suggestion. Turn off the satellite phone, throw it in a bucket of water, and get back in the bunker. Yeah, it's time to break out the Faraday bag. Have a great night. G2 on News Radio 570, ODKVN. Stay tuned.
