[00:00:04] You're listening to the Kate Dalley Show. Our problem is that we just want to follow Jesus, but we also want to slap people. Dilemmas. The show starts now. Have you ever heard of some fellas who first came over to this country? You know what they found? They found a howling wilderness. The summer's too hot and winter's freezing. Did they have insurance for their old age, for their crops, for their homes? They did not.
[00:00:32] They looked at the land and the forests and the rivers. They looked at their wives, their kids, and their houses. And then they looked up at this guy and they said, thanks, God. We'll take it from them. They were men. How much do I love that clip? I love that clip. I've been playing that for a long time. I love it. It's just a great clip. Who didn't love John Wayne movies? I mean, come on. Right?
[00:01:02] Okay. This is where your calls come in. So there's a couple of very diverse topics that I want to hit. And sorry about that. So welcome back to the show. Always go online. Go to katedalleyradio.com. Listen to the show from there. katedalleyradio.com. There's a listen now button and you can tell all your friends about it.
[00:01:22] And this show thrives on word of mouth. Been a lot of, a lot of people trying to keep this show down and it's tough. I could have taken a lot of roots in media, but I chose to be able to sleep at night and tell the truth.
[00:01:41] And it always comes at a cost. So word of mouth is vital to the show staying, you know, to, to be able to reach people. Sorry. And so I appreciate your efforts in helping, helping that while we still have a sliver of it left. Right? Everybody's made room for the, you're on board of certain talking points media. But as far as media that just tells it like it is, that's such a rarity now.
[00:02:09] So I really appreciate all of you. And of course the call in number 888-673-1450, 888-673-1450. And I'll take your calls. What's on your mind? The JFK declassification. How far do you think they'll go in letting you know what happened? I don't think very far. CIA is never going to allow anything to go out that, that pinpoints them.
[00:02:35] So it'll be interesting to see what information comes out quite honestly, but, but you might have a different opinion. Maybe you think everything's going to come out. I don't know. I guess what we can see. I'll take your calls. 888-673-1450. But I did actually have a really good piece on tourism in cities. And I do want to talk about that. It's a different aspect of it. Okay. Caller, go right ahead. Hi, you're live.
[00:03:02] Okay. Like to talk about some of the subjects you brought up on the show today. Some very important information. In fact, anybody cares about freedom. They really need to know this. A treaty law is, by definition, a treaty is a U.S. law. A treaty is a formal signed and ratified agreement between two or more nations or sovereigns.
[00:03:24] So anytime the U.S. has an agreement with the U.N. or any entity, a regional government or any foreign country, it is a treaty. There is no such thing as international agreements. It's how they bypassed the Senate. It's how they bypassed the Senate, right? They called it an agreement. But they can't bypass it because it's null and void. They don't have the power to do this.
[00:03:49] I get that. But that's how they did it is everybody turned a blind eye to the word agreement. They just went with it. The Constitution has been basically bred out of the psyche of the American people. We don't understand it. USMCA, it's null and void because it's a treaty. It was an agreement. So it required two-thirds of the Senate to pass it. But they couldn't get it passed until they just called it. Trump and Congress just called it an agreement.
[00:04:15] So this is extremely important. None of these are agreements. They are null and void if they consider them an agreement because they had to be passed and ratified as a treaty. So the Paris Climate Accord, it was never a legal law anyway, no matter how evident it is. And Trump kept it in power for the three and a half years that the U.N. law said that it had to be kept in power.
[00:04:42] The question there is supremacy law. What is the supremacy form of law in America? Is it the U.N. charter and Security Council resolutions or is it the Constitution? You know the answer to that, correct? Yeah, go ahead. It's the Constitution. So that means if there's any violation of the Constitution, that outlaw law like the U.N. law or any other law, federal regs or whatever, then it's null and void.
[00:05:11] There is no grounds for Trump keeping the Paris Climate Accord being carried out in the U.S. for three and a half years from when he first announced he was going to end in March of 2017 to two days after he was unelected in November of 2020. There was no grounds for him to keep it in existence because it violated the Constitution. It was null and void in March of May of 2017.
[00:05:39] He immediately could have removed from that. But the most important point is that it was null and void because it was never ratified to begin with. So that's all he had to say. But we just don't – Like in contrast, the U.N. was Senate approved. We have to unravel that. We've got to get out of that. That was horrid and set all of this emotion.
[00:06:02] I mean a bill right now that Republican congressmen and senators can support and we'd be out in five minutes. Yes. It went before. It's called the U.S. or American Sovereignty Restoration Act. Ron Paul originally had it written and then every congress, there's another one congressman or a few who sponsor it. Right now we should be contacting all our congressmen and senators and no longer vote for them.
[00:06:31] If anybody doesn't support the U.N. that's in the Congress, they should never be voted for again. One great book I recommend everybody read is short. It's only on her page. It's called Inside the U.N. by Bonta. You can get it for a very cheap price online. Inside the U.N. It'll just make you sick. Oh, I'm sure. The U.S. has been using the U.N. to take away our sovereignty. Thank you for that. Really appreciate that. I do have a show on the U.N. funding. The money not being talked about.
[00:07:01] We're only talking about the WHO and the Paris, but those are tentacles. It's the belly of the beast. And I will talk about that on the show. So not in this hour, but I will go there because that's the other half of my notes was the U.N. funding. So it's so important, right, that we understand what the belly of the beast is if we want to turn things around, what we have to get out of. It's a real education, isn't it? And it's kind of like the preemptive pardon.
[00:07:31] If everyone acts like it's a thing, it becomes a thing. It's still not legal. So it doesn't just like what he was saying with with these agreements versus treaties. You know, that's why they say it's legal binding and non-legal binding. I mean, it just they they talk around it in circles is what they do to try to get the public to buy into the way that they're carrying it out, basically. So so here's one that and you can call in on the JFK classifieds, what you think will come out.
[00:08:00] Phone lines are open 888-673-1450. I'm I'm good with that. But this was something that I felt I found interesting. It was about American thinker. It was about tourism and it was kind of complaining. A gentleman was complaining, writing this sort of op ed about tourism. Now, in the show earlier, I talked about public private partnerships. OK, this is the theme.
[00:08:24] We're coming out early with the federal government and everything is about a partnership with Oracle and Masa and from SoftBank and Sam Altman. And everything is about public private partnerships. And the way that they ruin cities and counties is through the same mechanism. That was the WF, EF, the World Economic Forum. Their stated goal, their number one goal was public private partnerships. Why?
[00:08:51] This is the economic forum. Why is that? Why is it public private partnerships? Why is that so important to them? Why have they invaded every city? Why with these and co-opted politicians in your local area with these? How is it affecting us? Well, there's a couple of mechanisms that work within funding cities and counties. And we have 3000 plus counties across America. So I know this is important to you to understand what's happening in your own area.
[00:09:20] But just like my area, what happened was, was they went into tourism, tourism, tourism, tourism. And it became the mechanism by which they could provide public private partnerships. Okay. They could be locked into those because then it means that people are more or less on the take and they protect what's going on in the state and in federal government. That's not good.
[00:09:48] Budgets went up in every county, every city across America. The budgets are really bloated for the amount of people that reside in said communities. Okay. So it doesn't match. You've got this exorbitant budget and then you've got this group of people. And in the old days, it used to be where people paid their taxes and then it would go to the cities and the cities would take the money and they would pay with it.
[00:10:16] But taxes came in, money goes out to police, fire roads, things like this. Then it became about tourism and tourism became the little beast by which communities everywhere could grow. So this gentleman grow their budget. Sorry. So this guy goes, tourism in Pittsburgh is an old boy system in which local government uses taxes to fund all obligators. Right. Who lured it up while visiting the steel city.
[00:10:46] He was talking about Pittsburgh or to fund locals lording it up while hosting visitors. It's promoting false narratives that enrich these public private partnerships and the wealthy and those in power. And he isn't far off. And he basically was saying enough publicly funded tourism and the inhumanity and financial waste that goes along with it.
[00:11:10] Remember that how we save the country is 3000 plus counties getting getting the politicians that are in there out and getting good people in who understand the Constitution. Because what happens? You save the whole landmass of America because America is made up of 3000 plus counties. But we've been wired to only look at federal government as the savior. It's not true. We have to look at locals. Right.
[00:11:34] And so what they're what this guy was exposing was let the tourist destinations carry their own weight, especially like pro sports teams and things like that. So he kind of went into this and he was basically saying how it ruins communities and how the community doesn't benefit at all from tourism, from the things. The very thing that all the politicians glorify locally in every speech is tourism is in tourism that look at all these people coming to the city.
[00:12:04] And this guy was saying this isn't good for that because the people don't really benefit from this as much as you think they do. But what it does is give a mechanism to the city to blow up the budgets all in the name of tourism. And it's not OK.
[00:12:22] And if you're going to go to the belly of the beast in local communities all across America and actually save this country, you have to go to the belly of the beast of what what what mechanisms have entered in that are not OK and not good for us and are causing mucho problems. So I'll be right back. I'll take your calls. Eight, eight, eight, six, seven, three, 1450. Kate Daly, Kate Daly, radio dot com. Be right back.
[00:13:07] This is the Kate Daly show. Sad when he died. All right. Welcome back. Kate Daly show.
[00:13:35] Always a lot to say because there's just so many, so many things going on that need to be really analyzed and taken apart. And I love it. Don't you? I really do. I love to deep dive into things and reasons and why we do what we do and how did it get that way? I'm a I'm a I just love history. And let me say this. I looking at at tourism and how it's sort of been abused back in the day.
[00:14:03] There wasn't a whole tourism thing attached to counties and cities. It just wasn't a thing. In fact, it was if you want to drive into our town. Great. If you want to come spend money and stay at the hotel, your prerogative. We're not going to take money from all the taxpayers and then spin it into marketing campaigns and then divest a bunch of money into tourism and then tell the residents there that this is going to be for them.
[00:14:31] When really it was it's it's a mechanism to enrich. Government mostly. And you can you benefit off some people coming to your restaurant from another city? Sure. But not in the way that it's portrayed from county to county across America. OK, and this guy that wrote this piece, it was it was interesting because if you really think about it, if if you have money in money out, so money comes in and you have to spend it on A, B and C.
[00:15:01] Well, how do you invent how do you invent more ways to bring money and to spend it and then hide a lot of money? How do you do that? Right. If you're like a local government. Well, there's lots of ways in which they do that. And so they attach these like new we're on a mission to bring people to our city. And so therefore we need X amount of dollars. So he said he said about his town, he said, I didn't agree with everything he said, but I thought this was kind of funny in a way that he was talking about it.
[00:15:30] He said, we've turned our towns into tourist traps and made ourselves into court jesters all for the money and vanity. I thought that was kind of interesting and kind of a different way to look at it. Right. Like we're on display, like like we've we've you know, in a way he's kind of saying, you know, you're kind of whoring yourself out. But but why is the tourism so important to a town or city or a county? Why is that the mission?
[00:15:59] Because every political speech is about tourism. It's about tourism, right? It's about the future, about tourism. But why isn't it just about the city? OK, and so why did they have to go to these lengths all across the country to try to to try to do this? It was a way to finagle more money into budgets and higher taxation into more money that they could then turn around.
[00:16:26] And you have a lot of people in the system that providing and doing all these things for tourism, quote unquote. Right. And it becomes a lot of public private partnership and going on. That's how it works. So the World Economic Forum would be very proud as as this mechanism has emerged, because back in the old days, you just went to a town.
[00:16:52] OK, you didn't have to sell your town to people. You didn't have to create reasons for people to come to your town because it was the taxpayers paying the the burden for streets and and firemen and and policemen. And what you could bring in from those funds did that. OK, so there you didn't need to create a whole different mechanism for taking money from people.
[00:17:21] You know, to to pay for all this nonsense. It was money and money out. That's how it was supposed to be. And then they turned it into this. Everything is built on future money, you know, bonds, all kinds of things. And then money is is brought in in this way of promised tourism. Do cities need to be on display? Do cities need to have people from other cities going to them? Do they really need that?
[00:17:50] Do they have to market and spend money for that? Why can't you just be a city? And if people want to come there because they like it, they will. What happened to that logic, that reasoning, that sort of mentality? Right. What happened to that?
[00:18:05] And so I think what's difficult for us to understand is what we've grown into and what we're used to hearing about, because when explaining bloated budgets that are in the gazillions that aren't justified. You'll hear the word tourism. And then everyone goes, oh, OK, tourism. OK, got it. It's a it's a conversation stopper. Oh, tourism. Yeah, we have to have tourism. Do you have to? Why?
[00:18:35] Why? Why? Unless it's being used. Oh, phones are lighting up. I'll take your calls right when I get back. Kate Daly show. All Family Pharmacy is finally a pharmacy that after 14 years of doing this on the air, I can actually stand by and go, hey, this is a great family run pharmacy with doctors in house.

There's one of your options right there, but put Kate 10 as the code and you'll get a nice little discount too. And it'll help the show. Help me stay on the air.
[00:20:30] Allfamilypharma.com. Go there now. This is the Kate Dally show. America sure has changed, hasn't it?
[00:20:58] It's really hard to even go to a city where it actually looks authentic to what that city was or is. It's very bizarre. It's all the cities look the same because we have all the same stores, all the same restaurants, everything's national chains. And it is kind of crazy. Okay. Let's take a caller. I know phones were lighting up, so we'll get your calls on. But let me just, before we go there, let me just say this. This writer said this. He said, tourism is devaluing our collective sense of ourselves in Pittsburgh. He was talking about Pittsburgh.
[00:21:25] And he said, it's made us into a clan of backwater clowns over eager to please visitors. This loss of culture has been encouraged most aggressively through sports. But I will say that it is, and that's true because I even see it in my community with running and marathons and so forth. But we see it on all different kinds of levels of a town posturing to get people there because of the money mechanism involved. But we don't really understand what it's doing to our communities.
[00:21:54] And then people leave the communities because they're getting too busy, too loud, too overcrowded, too crazy. And so they're basically repelling the core sense of authenticity in each town and getting them to move away because of the type of growth that they bring in and the type of money hoarding that makes it happen. Caller, go right ahead. What are your thoughts? Yeah, Kate. So that's a really interesting article.
[00:22:18] And I just had the thought when you were talking about that, that it kind of feels like we've been duped because, you know, everybody thinks that this is a good thing for their community. But instead, all of these small, rural, out-of-the-way places that have this amazing heritage and this amazing history, people end up visiting and then they want to move there.
[00:22:43] And what does that do to that collective small town feel and those families that have been there for generations? It waters down that culture. It really and truly breaks it apart and destroys it, just like what we're seeing on a national level where, I mean, you can even go back to Rome, right? Why did Rome fall? They decided, hey, you know what? Everybody can be a citizen. Come on in. And then it wasn't worth anything. Citizenship was not worth anything.
[00:23:13] And that can go right down to our cities and our counties, right? So you have these people who have been there for generations and then all of a sudden the world comes in and waters that all down and then all of your values go out the window. The Amish are not going and making an economic development position to say, come to Amishville. Come and be Amish. That's not what they're doing. And there's a reason why, right?
[00:23:41] Because they value their core beliefs and they want to keep themselves. Yes. They want to keep themselves honest, right? Like this is who we are. And if you like it, great. And if you don't, then I don't care what you have to say. I so agree. But it's so sad to see. That's why, you know, one of the reasons, and I see it every day, why, you know, my family left a certain area. At first it was cute, it was quaint, it was small.
[00:24:09] And in the course of like six or seven years, it exploded and you didn't even recognize it anymore. Every single corner that had farmland was now housing. And every single corner had the same box store, the same, you know, Walmart or Taco Bell or whatever it was. It was so much fun to travel when I was young. You go to these different communities and they had this really cool eclectic feel. It was fun. I agree.
[00:24:37] It was fun to actually experience that and then go home, you know. Oh, thank you. Thank you for that. Really appreciate your call. Thank you. Thank you. So I'll put another caller on hold. But that Department of Economic Development that's now in every county and the money is so mesmerizing to these people that run the counties and run the communities.
[00:24:59] And it's all about the projects, giving money to people that are erecting buildings and projects and combining these public-private partnerships because all for tourism, right? Oh, it's going to bring money in. It's going to bring money in. It's going to bring money in. Have you ever benefited from that or are you just taxed more to pay for this? Honestly, ask yourself that. Has it ever really benefited you, the crowds, the traffic, everything? Has it really?
[00:25:26] So this guy wrote, before I take the caller, this guy wrote, it's a taxpayer-funded expense stupid fest. I totally agree with him. Promoting simplistic and often wrong-headed views of Pittsburgh. So he's talking about Pittsburgh. And he's like, it promotes weekend tripping. He said, weekend tripping is fine. But when all these people, when we're spending taxpayer money to get projects, public-private partnerships, to get people to come to a community, it's gone wrong. It shouldn't be legal.
[00:25:56] And it's destroying our towns and cities, but with these bloated budgets and over-taxation, but they're getting away with it. Hi, caller. Welcome to the show. Go right ahead. Hi, Kate. Hi. You know, it just seems like everything is a grift, you know? Yes. I learned something new from you right now, but it's like, it doesn't surprise me one bit. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. I'm with you. I know. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Go ahead. There's one thing I wanted to say. Sure.
[00:26:26] It's like a kind of a public service announcement. Okay. There's kind of a way to take advantage of these Congress critters. So there's someone you could follow or something you could follow on X or Twitter. It's called the Nancy Pelosi stock tracker. Okay. And there's like 890 followers, 890,000 followers, excuse me. And I'm telling you that because there's like knockoffs, but you've got to follow the one that's popular.
[00:26:54] And they track the insider trading. Mm-hmm. And so you get alerted as soon as they do their filing. Mm-hmm. And she beat everybody last year. Her portfolio was up 94%. Wow. She beat all the hedge funds. Yeah. Sadly. Managers. Everybody. She crushed them. The little chihuahua. And so I just started learning from that and following those trades. And it's not just her. It's primarily her. Yeah. But they'll show other Congress critters. Thank you.
[00:27:20] For example, a recent one was this one called Viasat or VSAT. Mm-hmm. And one of these gals bought shares in like the end of October. And then just the other day, there was a giant NASA contract. And the stock's up 66% since this tracker told people about it. Yeah. Oracle jumped pretty high. And I wonder how many politicians got in on that one, too. So thank you. I appreciate the thought. It's, yeah, you're right. You're right.
[00:27:50] The griffs going on are insane. Thank you. I love the phone call. So back to this. Oh, there's so many griffs. But back to what he said about this. He said tourism actually stinks for a lot of communities in the United States. It's a drain on public resources and funds. If you think about it, you have a lot of public events. And then you have to pay a lot of people to be there. And you have to pay a lot of cops and up the budgets. And they love to up the budgets because then they want to keep the budgets high.
[00:28:19] So they keep fulfilling that. It's kind of like this. Why do the fire departments now respond to everything? You've heard the sirens. I've heard the sirens 24-7, you know, blaring, right? They didn't used to respond to everything. It was usually when only they were needed. Now they're part of every single call, right? And so that's because, of course, in tourism, you want to assure tourists and assure these things coming into your community.
[00:28:48] Oh, we've got firemen everywhere. We've got them everywhere. They're going to come to everything. They put them on every call so they could raise the budget. Look at all of our calls. 5,000 calls. See? Yeah, a couple years ago it was only 2,000. But 5,000 calls. See? We need more. We need more. We need more. We need more. It's always about the taxpayer-funded scheme.
[00:29:14] Because really and truly, it's all about, this is all for you, citizens of this great community. But is it really? Is it really? Because it's about budgets. It's about money. It's about extra money. And it's about a love fest for this money in these public-private partnerships where they, oh, the city will pay this much and you come in with this much. And yes, your event can come to our city.
[00:29:43] And we're going to pay people, right, to do this. And that ups our budget. And guess what? The next year we can ask for more and more and more and more. And so how much money in the budgets is hidden in those amounts? How much money? I mean, do you truly need it? Because most people are getting dissatisfied with the communities being so penetrated by all this growth and housing, all this cheap housing, everything. It doesn't do well for a community, to tell you the truth.
[00:30:13] And people aren't liking it. And we're changing the face of America through it. And it is a grift because it's unnecessary. Taxation for unnecessary things that actually ruin a community. Be right back. Kate Dolly Show.

[00:31:13] that are insanely amazing. And I take them myself. So go check out kdalyradio.com and the sponsors. And that keeps me on the air, gratefully. So really appreciate you. Also, I have a caller on hold. But I just wanted to say, you know, we implemented a tourism tax in the state of Utah, because I'm in Utah. And the tourism tax of 4.25 or something percent, it was supposed to go away because it was supposed to help pay a tax for the Olympics.
[00:31:42] And it never went away. And it was much higher, actually. And it just never went away. And this kind of stuff happens in all kinds of cities across America. And the gentleman writing this piece about Pittsburgh was like, our city did a million dollars just to get the NFL here. And why? Why are we being taxed for that? This kind of vanity of, look at us, we got the NFL here. And he goes, the people aren't happy because we're getting taxed for this. And it's not fair.
[00:32:10] And I actually agree with him, too, by the way. All right. Caller, go right ahead. Okay. Mike. Hi, Mike. What's on your mind? What's on your mind? Just kind of want to stay on topic with the two things you brought up. I did see where Trump did sign the executive order for JFK, RFK, and MLK. Yeah. So I'm super skeptical if it'll actually be released, you know.
[00:32:40] Or what will be released? Like what? Yeah. Or what? Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. But just hold the phone here for a second. But there's a really good podcast that I came across a lot just not too long ago. It's called Who Killed JFK? All right. It's 10 episodes. Hang on. Rob Reiner is the host. Oh, you're kidding. He's such a leftist. No, no, no.
[00:33:09] I know. And Soledad O'Brien is kind of the place, the person interviewing. Right. And there's no politics injected into it or anything. And he, I was stunned because he names, he says that there was four shooters. Interesting. Okay. He named, he named, he names them. Yes. It is not the old company line. He, it's amazing. Interesting. Because he's so annoying, but I'll check him out. Yeah, I'll check it out. For sure.
[00:33:39] But this is really well done. And the point I would make is that when, when someone of his caliber and his experience wants to apply all of that in a way that's kind of neutral and nonpolitical, it's a really good product. Okay. So, Who Killed JFK? Thank you. Okay. Anything on tourism? Oh, my goodness. You know, I lived in the Florida Gulf Coast there for 12 years.
[00:34:08] I, the abuse is real. Airbnb is what really made things crank up where it would turn. And that's kind of the hidden thing that I haven't heard talked about is that when Airbnb and of course the BRBO went, but it was really when Airbnb came along is when every house could be, you know, a tourist destination for whatever reason. Right. Right. Right. But yeah. Yeah. I have done shows on it. I have done shows on it.
[00:34:37] And, and I just don't want the government telling you whether or not you can do Airbnb, but it was the cities that were investing all this taxpayer money into, and then whatever money was set aside for whatever reason, but taken off the top, but they were putting money into the tourism and that's what made people want to go there. Do you know what I mean? So that was the carrot and I just want government to stay out of my home. Right. Right. So they totally should. And I mean, okay.
[00:35:05] In the area where you live, there is some natural beauty that people are naturally drawn to. You got the national park as well. Where I was, it was, it was probably the most beautiful beaches in the American continent. Mm-hmm. Um, and the way they taxed it there in Florida is they tax on the, the, the vacation rental they would put on, you know, started off at 3%, ended up 5%. And then, you know, and the, and the people running the county, um, without mentioning,
[00:35:33] I mean, they're absolute buffoons. I mean, they're just these country hicks that know how to, they could ruin, you know, um, Vegas if they wanted to. Yeah. But, um, anyway. Oh, gosh. Um, yeah. If I can add one thing though. Okay. My neighborhood I was living in was wonderful. And it, as Aramee and me caught on, it, it became where all of the houses that were being
[00:36:01] sold or whatever were being turned into vacation rentals. And I'm going to tell you right now, it is a nightmare when you're trying to be a resident good enough to go to work and you've got people that are down there for the week. Yeah. It is not fun. Traffic's not fun. Yeah. They have a year of built up partying and they got a release that week. Yes. Thank you. I love your phone call. Thank you. Uh, interesting point on the Airbnb. Thank you. I love it. Uh, you know, this writer said enough public, this was about Pittsburgh enough fund, uh,
[00:36:30] publicly funded tourism and the financial waste that goes along with it. Let tourism destinations carry their own weight. People will come if they want to. You don't have to entice them, spend money and organize, uh, economic departments and pay payroll for that and blow up budgets. And, and then all the, you know, like in my, uh, I'm going to go to the next slide. Uh, community, it was a drought, drought, drought until you want to talk about the future and tourism and then no drought, no drought exists because we want to entice people.
[00:36:59] And we have plenty of water because we're inviting the world, you know, to our place. So there's all kinds of narratives going on that don't match up. And we, the people need to speak out more on this because we don't have to put up with that. And if you have city councils and counties that are in love with power and money and honestly want to engage in tourism, everything, and that's their whole speech when they're going for reelection and that's all they're about.
[00:37:28] And it's all they can talk about. I think there's a huge grift going on in cities and counties across America and they're getting away with it because it's all in tourism. They're enticing people to come and they're spending your tax dollars doing it right. Paying for a Costco, paying for a business to come paying for a building that looks like a nonprofit, but it's not let me know, paying for all of these things and then saying it's for growth in tourism.
[00:37:53] But what they're really developing is just public private partnerships publicly paid and they're enticing businesses and people to go into business with them. Government was never, local government was never supposed to be a business. So there's, you know, you never compete with the yellow pages. Okay. So if it's in the yellow pages, government's not supposed to compete with it, but they've turned it into business enterprise Inc. And it's destroying our cities across America. And then people have to go 20 miles out to go to the next city so they can go have some peace and quiet.
[00:38:22] And it's, uh, it's really not okay because it is a grift. So I love that he wrote this piece on Pittsburgh and we should all take note, uh, because this was Jonathan Barnes that wrote this because it was a really good piece on wake up. You guys were getting grifted here and you're getting taxed to the hill paying for all kinds of transportation for said tourists. And all you get is a whole lot of traffic and a whole lot of headaches. And it isn't the big bonus for you that you think it is.
[00:38:53] Um, and a business should be able to survive right in its own community when the tourists aren't there. So every, it's a big old grift. Keep your eyeballs on that. It's got to stop the nonsense. Be faithful. Be fearless. Be faithful and be fearless. People be fearless. Go to Kate Daly radio.com. Share the podcast, please. All over social media. Thank you.
