[00:00:00] And then the psychiatrist asked, so Joe, is this strong economy you talk about in the room with us right now? That Kate Dalley show starts now. Has anyone noticed that if you fly the American flag, everyone knows who you're voting for? It's a really interesting thought, isn't it?
[00:00:36] You know, we didn't talk about this when we played it last because we had Chrisanne Hall on, but you know, that's an interesting, I just want everybody to think about that for just one second because it's very, very true. Here we go. Kate Dalley.
[00:00:51] Oh, sorry, not that part. This part. Here we go. Has anyone noticed that if you fly the American flag, everyone knows who you're voting for? Did you ever think it would be like that? Did you ever think it would get to that?
[00:01:07] That the divider between the parties, one has an American flag, the other one detests it. They would rather put up a pride flag in this day and age or a flag for Ukraine. Please, money laundromat. I mean, isn't, think about that for just a second.
[00:01:26] If you get on a plane in the next few weeks, Independence Day is coming up. A lot of people will wear flag shirts. The idea is that, oh, I see who you're voting for.
[00:01:36] It's just like somebody that wears a mask and I go, yeah, I pretty much got you, you know, not across the board because conservatives were dumb enough to wear them too. But that's that. Isn't that the thought though? Sure. Isn't that kind of amazing?
[00:01:50] We live in America and if you're, if you have the flag, you're a Trumper. I mean, that's how they, that's how they, that's the connotation of the media government. You're one of those dangerous people. Or maybe they're just admitting that they're communists, not Americans. Their Marxism is showing?
[00:02:12] I just want to digest that for a second. Is it true? Is it true? 888-673-1450. If you wear a flag shirt, if you have a flag outside, if you love this country, then you're a Trump person, right?
[00:02:32] And I like Trump, but isn't it strange that now you're a Trump person? It's not that you're even a Republican anymore. You're just a Trumpite. Is that strange? I think it's really weird actually.
[00:02:47] And I think it's, um, I never thought that we'd get to a point where we worked in the labeling, the kind of labeling that we do. I ne- I didn't think I'd see that to this extent. To this extent, it's pretty bad. You won't find a leftist.
[00:03:06] They won't put up a Biden sign on their yard. They're afraid because everyone in the neighborhood would be like, should we commit you? I mean, you know, um, I mean he was, it looked like he was pooping on stage the other day. I mean, come on.
[00:03:19] Um, but at the same time, you won't see them fly a flag generally either. That's a crazy thing to think about in America that we've gotten to that divider. Anyway, just trying to digest. Although, well, where I live, of course, Flag Day was a big deal. Yeah.
[00:03:41] But I would love to see what happened on Flag Day in Chicago. Right? I mean, that's the truth. Um, how are you guys feeling? You know, Independence Day is coming up and I'm just wondering, what are you thinking on Independence Day this year? What are you thinking?
[00:03:57] And I, and good or bad, I do want to hear, um, if you're listening to us in the afternoon live, 888-673-1450. 888-673-1450. I would like to hear from you because I think you all have thoughts what you're going to be thinking.
[00:04:15] And I would just, I want to give you a chance to air those thoughts. I love this country. I know you do too. We have a deep felt love and I mean, love and respect for what the country is built on.
[00:04:28] I don't like what my government's done to it. I don't like what my, what the government's done with its legal system. I don't like any of it, that part.
[00:04:36] But I do like people and I do like our country and they do a lot of things in our name that we would never consent to. I believe that coming up on Independence Day, half of Americans' biggest thoughts about
[00:04:52] Independence Day will be, do we want pork or all beef hot dogs? Barbecue. Yeah. Yes. There's t-shirts now for little kids and I know they're trying to be cute, but it says like I'm here for the hot dogs or I'm here for, I'm here for the fireworks.
[00:05:14] They've gotten so cutesy that we just kind of lost the meaning of it. And too many parents aren't, I don't think sharing these, the messages of what liberty is and what our mindset should be.
[00:05:27] And so we have a lot of people that are, we have a whole crop of, I'm going to sound really old youngsters that say, that are really into the barbecue and the fireworks and I'm free. And then they don't think about, are you? Are you free right now?
[00:05:44] And we have a lot of NSA spying that our so-called good guys said yes to in Congress. I don't know. You know, I always think about this on Independence Day and as I'm watching the fireworks and
[00:05:59] I think everybody around me is oohing and aahing at the beautiful fireworks. The fireworks are a representation of a battle of war. Not ooh, aah, isn't that pretty? No, it was a representation of the battles to get our liberty and freedom. So true. So true.
[00:06:22] That's what you should be thinking about. That's why they actually chose the song, which was really kind of interesting because it was supposed to be America the Beautiful. And then they, uh, they went with the other because of the fact that the star spangled
[00:06:33] banner because it was all about the battle that made the country possible. And I'm kind of mixed on that because I think that the other song would have been wonderful to like as far as our national anthem, you know, when it comes to our country, we have
[00:06:48] so much disinformation and misinformation and all of these other things, just like I said about Juneteenth, the reason why I didn't even go there yesterday is because it just makes me sad that we're so stupid that we can't understand our own country and the marvel
[00:07:02] that our own country is, the wonder of our own country. Um, and we get blamed for slavery. I'm sorry, that went on for civilizations and we were the ones that actually started that, um, that idea that men are created equal. It just took a second to do it.
[00:07:18] There wasn't overnight. We get blamed that it wasn't overnight, but it didn't happen in 24 hours. Um, it was a mindset. And so we had to stop a lot of mindsets. There was a lot of mindsets going on, but it's just, I just wish that we could go back
[00:07:32] and understand our history and realize that the education system was hijacked in 1907 by the Carnegie foundation, the Ford foundation, those foundations. I wish we could understand that we, um, we have a wonderful premise and that is a wonderful constitution and it's lasted a long time.
[00:07:52] And I'm so proud of that. And I'm always thinking about that, but I'm always thinking on Independence Day too. I get a little sad. I have to say, I do. I get a little sad.
[00:08:01] I look around and I think there are so many that won't get it, don't get it and don't want to get it. They don't want to understand about this country. They just like the barbecue. They're there for the food.
[00:08:15] I hate to say that too, but it doesn't make you a little sad. Sure does. The, this, the celebration of Independence Day is important. Yeah. It's part, but, but if you're not teaching history, it becomes unimportant. Yeah. And we don't teach history anymore. You're right.
[00:08:35] The other part of the, uh, coming in on the liner, uh, was talking about how is that strong economy in the room, Joe? The one that we're told is there all the time, this strong economy. Yeah, right. Um, okay. That isn't a fact.
[00:08:50] Um, we have, I don't know how people are making it. I watched a tearful video from a gentleman who was in the trades saying he's, he doesn't know how he's going to make it. It doesn't know because they can't afford anything.
[00:09:03] That's a sad, that's a sad commentary of where we're at right now too. And ever, and the media is ignoring it and the government's ignoring it and they're trying to, they're trying to tell you, uh, it's blue when you know it's red. Right.
[00:09:15] And they're trying to convince you that we live in a really good time as far as, as inflation goes. And it's such a lie. I wondered how people out there are struggling.
[00:09:26] I wonder if you're, I mean what the toll has been on you and what do you think about this election coming up and do you think it will change that? I want to see a poll or interviews with the people in California that work in fast food
[00:09:46] who are now getting $20 an hour to flip a burger. And I want to see what they have to say about how their life has improved getting $20 an hour. I guarantee none of them are going to say their life has improved. Yeah, it hasn't. Yeah.
[00:10:04] Do you agree with having a minimum wage? No. You know, our market should be able to dictate where people go and get jobs. It does and it always has really. Yeah. The idea of a, of a wage, a certain wage is, is actually so not America.
[00:10:23] Just like healthcare, socialized medicine is not the idea of America. Okay. So here's, here's the real issue. We hear a lot of talk today about guaranteed basic income. Yeah. Guaranteed basic income. Let me tell you something.
[00:10:39] The first time they instituted minimum wage, that was a guaranteed basic income. Yeah, it was a stepping stone. Yeah, for sure. Everybody could get a minimum wage job, still can. You're right. A lot of people won't work for minimum wage, but the jobs are out there.
[00:10:56] And private business owners had to kowtow to that. They had to go along with this, right? So there already is a built in because of, because of a minimum wage law, there's a built in, but you do have to work for it. It's not just given to you.
[00:11:13] But it was the idea that government comes in and, and says what type of prices you're going to pay, what you're going to get out of your check, how much you're going to make. I mean, that was never the role of government.
[00:11:27] So the type of people that we have in the United States now that like the idea of a guaranteed basic income. Yeah. Well, those people think that the guaranteed basic income is going to be the equivalent of middle class. It's not. It's not. It's going to be starvation.
[00:11:46] Yeah, yeah. You're going to struggle. Poverty level. Yeah. Extreme poverty level. Yeah. That's so true. They don't get it. I know. I know. But they champion it. Oh yeah. I know. But you know why? You know why they do?
[00:12:02] At the heart of that psychologically is that they can feel really good about themselves. They don't actually do something for somebody else, but the idea that they're behind a program that would help the less fortunate gives them a pat on the back as if they've done something
[00:12:19] for somebody else. See how that works? Sometimes that's called virtues. Exactly. Isn't that amazing? They don't actually help out, but they get behind a program that takes your money illegally and cycles it by paying a lot of salaries and then cycles it, right? Money laundering.
[00:12:39] And then cycles it to the people in the state of poverty, but they say, I just did a good thing today. Look at me. Look at me. I'm a lefty and I did something miraculous.
