Point of View August 16, 2024 – Hour 2 : Weekend Edition

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Hour 2

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_04]: there. And if you go there right now, I've got it on my screen. U.S. Supreme Court justices

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_04]: matter. But the other one, churches and elections legal guide as well as the presidential record

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_04]: comparison and some other great resources that are there. And it is important, Kelly,

[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_04]: to just take advantage of all sorts of resources and get as many resources as possible. With

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_04]: that as a disclaimer, I recognize most of our listeners probably are registered to

[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_04]: vote. Most of them are going to vote, but they know people that aren't registered to

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_04]: vote. A typical church, I looked this up for my latest booklet. Sometimes within a typical

[00:01:26] [SPEAKER_04]: church you can have up to 15% of the members of the church not registered to vote. I just

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_04]: can't even get my head around that.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, you know what the national average is? 65% of those of the age to vote are

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_03]: registered.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_03]: 65%

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So you think in a church there would be more engagement?

[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_04]: There's the other 65% of the ones that are registered to vote. Only 65% of them will vote

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_04]: on a regular basis. So first thing right now between you and me and everything else is

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_04]: to get people registered to vote. Number two, Kelly's piece, it's on our website, it's

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_04]: on his website. You have a pastor that will not talk about the elections for one

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_04]: minute. And you need to remind them that we used to have election sermons. This

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_04]: is a very important election. And Kelly, you've hit that almost like a beating your head on

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_04]: a brick wall. Some pastors will not actually even talk about the fact that we have an election

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: coming up here.

[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And we're doing a poll right now that we should have the results. We're doing it

[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_03]: with Barna in the near future on how many Christians are either saying they will not

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_03]: vote for president or they are considering not voting for president because they find the

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: candidates distasteful or what you name it. And the main reason we're doing that is because

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: we're going to find out that it's significant, the number of people and it really sort of

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_03]: highlights the role of the pastor to be a pastor and to say that is sinful. Not telling

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: you who to vote for, but God gave you this incredible country and the freedoms you have

[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_03]: and you're just steward it. And the idea that God gave you the ability to do good or to do

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: the best out of a situation you have and you won't even show up. That's not a biblical

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_03]: response and people kind of get fooled into thinking why don't I really like this person?

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a matter of who you like, it's a matter of what they're going to do. It's

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: not just president. I'm talking about all of these races and there's great information

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_03]: out there if you wonder why don't know where they really stand. There's like iVotersGuide

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_03]: and other places that have those links and they just roll into here's what the candidate

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_03]: said. So it really is a responsibility, every pastor should speak to this. God created

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: the institution of the church, the institution of the family and the institution of government

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_03]: and the idea that you think well then I just don't have any responsibility in the institution

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: of government. It's just not biblical. You do, you're supposed to do good and especially

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_03]: when you are the king which is the case in the United States. I mean it's not like

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_03]: there's some king, some dictator, you are the king. You get to decide and so it's

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_03]: something that we should really encourage all pastors to speak into. Yeah not telling

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: it to tell people who to vote for but you should definitely, what they do is that people

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: look to their pastor how do I apply the Bible in every phase of my life including my interaction

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_04]: with government. You did talk about those people that are not going to vote or thinking

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: they don't like either candidate. Monmouth had a poll in June of what they called double

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_04]: haters. I've never heard that before and it was 17%. Is that hate both candidates?

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes and now they think maybe it's closer to 8% to 10% because there's some enthusiasm for

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Kamala Harris until they begin to find that out as well. So we have individuals that say

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't vote for either candidate but there are some consequences because you may not

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_04]: like the personality but you actually have to recognize when you talk about the president

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_04]: you are ultimately, as we said last week, determining who is going to be in the

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: federal bureaucracy anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 people depending how many positions open up

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: the person is going to determine who the next Supreme Court justices are the federal judiciary

[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_04]: so you have to get beyond personalities whether you like them or don't like them

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_04]: and recognize that personnel and both these candidates have chosen a vice presidential

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_04]: candidate to run with them and that tells you very much what the other particular individuals

[00:05:42] [SPEAKER_04]: in the White House are going to look like, right? Yes and I think it's important. It's stewardship

[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: because our founders actually went through an awful lot to get the system of government that we

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: have which does make us the king that we actually get to elect our leaders. It's not true in

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: every country but it's true in our country and so you know use it or lose it is that's one

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: admonition but another is that just to say well just to give some wisdom from the pulpit I think

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_01]: it just goes such a long way and you're not violating any laws by doing it. Some people might

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_01]: try to make you think you are. The other part of this in the mix though is now there's this

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_01]: move to go into the church and try to make it leftist and you've got there's ads out

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_01]: there right now. I saw one that's been it's already been released and it's an old interview

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_01]: between Donald Trump and Brody from CBN from Christian Broadcasting Network when he asked

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: them if he'd ever asked for forgiveness remember that? Yes and so of course that's

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: in an ad now and it's combined with Billy Graham talking about forgiveness. So you know they're

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: trying to get the Christians not to support the Republican which would be their natural

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_01]: support and then you have people like David French who says he's going to save evangelical

[00:07:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Christianity by voting for Harris. I mean I don't even get where that argument goes

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: but you have that too so we already have within the church we already have battles

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_01]: to fight within the church about you know the positions that the candidates take and what

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_01]: is the biblical position on things and so we as believers have to make those points I think

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: perhaps more than the pastors they're not they can't go in most of them maybe some are

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: which is great if they do. Most of them are not inclined to do a whole sermon on

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_01]: the election but they ought to be they ought to be encouraging people to vote yes absolutely

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_04]: they should. Even if you can't vote for the president and I think there are certainly some

[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_04]: obvious choices there we have the United States Senate and we just talked about what happens if

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_04]: you lose the United States Senate because if indeed Kamala Harris is the next president

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_04]: and you have a democratically controlled United States Senate of the kind of people that will

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_04]: be in the federal judiciary are going to be very different even the ones that Joe Biden's

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_03]: yeah there I mean look if you I don't know people I'm sure a lot of people listen to this

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: already get the email we send out every Friday at first liberty.org

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: but and if you want it you can go to first liberty.org go down a little bit and do click on

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: be an insider but one of the stories we had today was on Biden's picking of judges

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's a list of a number of those judges and some of them are incredibly

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_03]: frightening if you look at what their background is so that makes a big difference.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Can take a break and come back and take some phone calls along the way but also talk about

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_04]: the need to fact check some fact checkers we'll be right back.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: This is Viewpoints with Kirby Anderson. Professor Paul Kenger argues that you

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_04]: can never have enough kids he was on my radio program last week to talk about his article

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_04]: he confronts what he calls the mindless cliche of our culture wait until you have

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_04]: enough money to have kids he hears it regurgitated by young couples all the time then he takes the

[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_04]: time to calmly ask them a few questions how many kids did your grandparents have how about

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_04]: your great-grandparents when they came to America dirt poor on pack ships headed to Ellis Island

[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_04]: when they acknowledged that those ancestors had a bunch of kids he then asked them

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_04]: how much money did they have he has found that a young man or young woman is usually

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_04]: taken aback they haven't heard that from the culture they know their ancestors had no money but

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_04]: raised large intact families and stayed married in fact they wouldn't be alive today without those

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_04]: ancestors bestowing the gifts of life he also asks a follow-up question how much money will

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_04]: be enough before having that kid how much cash should be shoveled into this child's materialistic

[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_04]: ideal existence he has found that people who focus on having enough money will find

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_04]: that they never have enough on the radio program Paul Kanger also reminded us that the greatest gift

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_04]: you can give your child is a sibling when people find out how many kids his wife and he have they

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_04]: say one kid has been hard enough for us his response is that one kid is harder but two

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_04]: kids are easier the one child gets a playmate other than you explain that when he only had

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_04]: one child he had to come home and play Legos for hours when the second boy came along

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_04]: he had boundless energy and was all in we need messages like this in a culture that doesn't

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_04]: seem to value children anymore i'm Kirby Anderson and that's my point of view

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: for a free booklet on a biblical view of intelligent design go to viewpoints.info

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: slash intelligent design viewpoints.info slash intelligent design you're listening to point

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_02]: of view your listener supported source for truth back once again and i won't spend a whole lot of

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_04]: time on this just to mention that a variety of people and i'll just quote katie pavlish points

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_04]: out that some of these fact checkers themselves need to be fact checked and so i'll mention one

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_04]: political fact the other day they were fact checking whether or not compa harris ever spoke

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_04]: in favor of mandatory programs to buy back assault weapons and their answer was well more

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_04]: recently she's not called for confiscating weapons or guns okay um and yet donald trump

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_04]: talks about the fact that she has said she wanted to defund the police and it is true that back in

[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_04]: 2020 she said maybe we should kind of reimagine political safety but she really didn't politically

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_04]: call for shuttering down police departments and you're going are these people serious well

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: it turns out that politifac is funded by a number of left-wing dark money groups so just because a

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_04]: fact checker doesn't fact check correctly or in some cases doesn't fact check it at all

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_04]: i mean for seven years we've had people believe that donald trump in charlottesville said these

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_04]: good people and he was talking about the neo nazis when there have been all sorts of videos

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_04]: out there showing that's not what he said and eventually snopes finally said okay and then the

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_04]: next week you had uh first of all um joe biden saying it now donald comal harris has said that so

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_04]: even when the fact checkers finally eventually get it right pennah sometimes it doesn't seem to

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00]: make it hard to get it out when it's been laying out there for a while it's just hard to dig it

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_04]: out in fact almost impossible so again one of the reasons i'm talking about first liberty dot o r g

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_04]: slash elections and point of view dot net election central as we try to have some things that have a

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_04]: little more integrity but uh penniless talk about this for just a minute comal harris price control

[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_04]: i made the comment earlier that she gave a speech or is giving a speech right now on price

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_04]: controls maybe she should give it in the original russian because interestingly enough

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_04]: one of the op ads on the washington post i guess it's an editorial

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_04]: comes from kathryn rampell and she points out that of course don trump has been saying that not

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_04]: only is this country becoming socialist uh comal harris is becoming communist and interesting

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_04]: enough kathryn rampell said when your opponent calls you a communist maybe you shouldn't propose

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_01]: price controls maybe not i don't know i don't know how the speech is going or you know what

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_01]: exactly is being said but what we read in the you know the articles that are proceeding it is

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_01]: that she's going to be banding price gouging uh she's going to be proposing the first ever

[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_01]: federal ban on food price hikes with sweeping new powers for federal authorities to penalize

[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_01]: people for doing this uh ooh boy um a recipe for food lines obviously um because um well i was just

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: thinking back that neither vice presidential candidate walz nor comal harris has ever worked

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that i know of in the private sector they have no idea how things work i mean most normal americans

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: know that if you a grocery store can't raise its prices when necessary then uh you're gonna be

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_01]: you know you're not going to be able to get your favorite peanut butter probably that's right you may

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_01]: be standing in a long line i mean we got a little bit of a taste of that during covet when things were

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: out uh companies do not make products when it costs more to make the product than it does

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: then you can sell it for they just don't do it so if comal is going to go in and say well

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_01]: your price gouging because you raised the price of eggs because it just costs more to get them and

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: ship them and all of that uh it's just not going to work it doesn't work it probably won't ever

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: pass either no but it says certainly sounds good to people that are struggling from inflation

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_01]: she's trying to blame inflation on price gouging instead of on their policies yeah it's

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: i think the numbers came out the average grocery store has a mark i mean they're making 1.6 or 1.8

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: 1.6 yeah right percent give you the number that's their gal 1.6 percent whether it's just

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_03]: quite smart i mean uh oh it's it is that is correct i think on the politicals obviously

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_03]: anybody who has any understanding of economics knows that price controls do not work um

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_03]: it's unless you want black markets and hoarding yes long lines and i mean it's it's it right but

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_03]: it's so revealing because it's exactly the way the mind of a san francisco liberal

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_03]: which is what comaly is i mean that's that's her background that's why she has all these

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_03]: outrageous positions that are on tape is she's genuinely a san francisco liberal

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_03]: and so their thought is well people are getting charged too much so we need to control the prices

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_03]: i mean this is the mindset um i just think this is amazing because they've been so controlling of her

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_03]: in what she's doing right she's only speaking off a teleprompter she's doing no interviews

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: she's not speaking on any substantive issues right it's all about joy and the excitement

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: and everything else and and then she starts to take her first issue and it's it's the most

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_03]: that one is your issue left-wing sort of communist approach imaginable i i'm i really am shocked

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_03]: because i know you know uh david david ploof and and uh the people involved in her campaign the

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_03]: obama people are very sharp they are and they know how to craft a message did sleep did this get

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_03]: through somehow i mean how did this come out because it came out yesterday but then it's also on

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_03]: planned i mean it's publicly planned for everybody knows it's coming so i i would be

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_03]: fascinated to learn how this happened because it is the first defining your current issue for her

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: is communist price fixing i mean i just i just can't even imagine i think it's a

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: diversionary tactic because inflation is the number one issue for americans number one election

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_01]: issue yeah and most americans actually blamed the previous administration for it and they blamed

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_01]: this the spending the massive spending they blame that they they've placed the blame and they ask

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: even democrats asked joe biden and now they ask kamala she doesn't have to answer yet but her

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_01]: answer is well inflation you know it's not inflation it's price gouging prices are high not

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: because of inflation you can't afford your grocery bill because not because of inflation

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: because they're gouging you and it's i mean it's just an explanation and before this all shakes out

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: there's going to be some people that believe it oh they're hoping enough we just showed that

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_04]: with the piece that came from media research center they would you know because they've already

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_04]: done the price gouging of big pharma so this piece that i gave you by charles cook says well what they'll

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_04]: now say is as soon as she is now criticized as she will be by the republicans well that just

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_04]: means then the republicans are actually trying to protect big meat and big grocery but again as

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_04]: kelly points out and it's a really important statistic you need to write down and that

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_04]: is last time they did an evaluation of the price margins we're talking about kroger

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: albertsons walmart whatever it might be safeway 1.6 percent you can barely run a business on a 1.6

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_04]: profit margin and that is the national average so it has to depend on volume people needing to eat

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: to live yeah it's volume everybody again anybody that has a working brain knows that the grocery

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: stores works on volume right i mean it's it's not like they sell just to a few people and they raise

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_03]: the price it's it's a lot of people and so so yeah this is i mean look i mean it's obvious why we had

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_03]: inflation i mean even larry summers the democratic uh i think he was treasury secretary your

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_03]: treasury secretary that is correct he's more known as president harvard president harvard and very

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: bright on economic issues i mean everybody knows what happened we we came out of coveted

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_03]: and and we had a bunch of because people were not allowed to work they had to just flush money

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_03]: into their hands to allow them to to be able to pay for things and then as soon as the

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_03]: bite administration took over they flushed another trillion dollars into the economy

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_03]: for more coveted and then they followed that by the quote inflation reduction act what a ridiculous

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_03]: it was really the green new deal thing and they did another trillion dollars and of course when you

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: do that you're gonna you're gonna make inflation go crazy and that's exactly what happened lay

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_03]: summers said that that was what was going to happen every any economist said so this was

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_03]: spending out of control and and the the bad forcing down gas prices yeah and and

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_03]: so the bad thing for kamala is if she wanted to hide on this one it was a tie in the senate and

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_03]: she was the design boat so she's got her hands all over this so i think this is a really

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_03]: difficult situation but price gouging i don't think americans are that stupid yep well again the

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_04]: goal is to try to get rid of all those liabilities we'll come back and talk about another one

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_04]: that's called immigration and whether or not that's reshape the electorate because a lot of people

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_04]: and i want to get some comments from kelly and pennah because some people say well we're gonna have

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_04]: the fair election and what about all these people that have crossed the border how many of them are

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_04]: going to vote and how do we deal with that so come up with those issues and you'll find that

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_04]: article up there as well as pennedexter's commentary which we're going to talk about

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_02]: working men lot coming up right after this it almost seems like we live in a different world

[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_02]: from many people in positions of authority they say men can be women and women men people are

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_02]: prosecuted differently or not at all depending on their politics criminals are more valued and

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: rewarded than law-abiding citizens it's so overwhelming so demoralizing you feel like giving up but we

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: can't we shouldn't we must not as winston churchell said to britain in the darkest days of world

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: war two never give in never give in never never never never yield to force never yield to the

[00:22:10] [SPEAKER_02]: apparently overwhelming might of the enemy and that's what we say to you today this is not a

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_02]: time to give in but to step up and join point of view in providing clarity in the chaos we can't

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_02]: do it alone but together with god's help we will overcome the darkness invest in biblical clarity

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_02]: today at point of view dot net or call one eight hundred three four seven fifty one fifty one point

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: of view dot net and eight hundred three four seven fifty one fifty one point of view will continue

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: after this you are listening to point of view the opinions expressed on point of view do not

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: necessarily reflect the views of the management or staff of this station and now here again is curby

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_04]: and back once again pennedexter kelly shackleford in studio with us let me just mention we have a lot

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_04]: of articles here we're going to get to pennedexter's commentary as well probably next segment and

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_04]: we also will talk about immigration but i thought it was interesting because i've started looking at

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: some of these revolutions that have been taking place in latin america and south america uh

[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_04]: both in el Salvador and in argentina and in some respects can't we learn some lessons because

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_04]: we've seen some individuals that have come in and taken over uh authoritarian government or in the

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_04]: case of argentina really a very socialist government and turn some of that around haven't they yeah

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_01]: argentina was once a very rich country then socialism came in and ruined the country

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: basically almost wiped out the country uh we we talked about this back i think it was during the

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: world economic forum the newly elected president there in argentina became uh he gave a speech that

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_01]: was it was just kind of shockingly made a lot of sense his name is javier milley he's libertarian

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_01]: economist and he became president of argentina so i guess close to a year now uh he fixed the

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_01]: nation's housing crisis by ending rent control there interesting because um kamala harris has proposed

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_01]: government command control price policy policies as we have just been saying by ending rent control

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_01]: and restrictions on evictions uh he incentivized landlords to add new housing to the market

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_01]: in argentina this is all just happened in a few months that they refused to rent because among

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_01]: other things once rented the government set rental rates and restricted evictions on those who did not

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_01]: pay so people don't want to rent out their homes because they couldn't evict people does that sound

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_01]: familiar we had that for a while okay not only did more housing get added to the system in argentina

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: but rental costs have gone down with government subsidies out of the picture this libertarian

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: economist has accomplished all that well um this comes from eric erick erickson's piece today

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: kamala harris wants the government to impose price control which has historically led to shortages

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and breadlines across communist countries uh he talks also i haven't heard about this proposal

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_01]: but erickson says that the government her idea is for the government to give out 25 000

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_01]: dollar down payments on homes yes i got that if you're a first time home buyer uh but if they

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_01]: provide a subsidy then the price of a new home will probably just go up by 25 000 so uh so the

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_01]: problem here is that neither walts nor heros have any private sector experience me lay and on the other

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: hand knew a lot about the economy so he was a good person to put in the presidency of argentina

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_01]: he's had a lot of setbacks as you can imagine in opposition but these are some things that

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: actually really good positive developments in that country formerly communist socialist country

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_01]: that's taking place because of these policies so you know we need to look at other countries not

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: only in the past soviet russia and all of that but now in the in the present of what these policies

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_01]: do to countries like venezuela and what uh what going back from these policies is doing to help

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_04]: countries you know again that's a good example of supply and demand because tim garity talks about

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_04]: that let's look at supply and demand in terms of of the student loans if you want college costs to

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_04]: go down what you don't want to do is have the government trying to fund all that because

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_04]: if you want to lower prices you need to increase supply reduce demand or both and the laws of

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_04]: supply and demand also apply to housing and so if you really want to bring the cost of

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_04]: housing down what you don't want to do is what kamala harris is suggesting and that is provide a

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_04]: twenty five thousand dollar subsidy for first time home buyers as much as that might be and then of

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_04]: course if you want to deal with supply and demand you don't then actually prevent the possibility

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_04]: that individuals can make a profit and thus have price controls on groceries so do we see a trend

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_04]: here whether it's student loans whether it's housing or whether it's price controls kelly

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_03]: just basic economics 101 it should be it should be i'm again that one of the greatest memories

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_03]: i'll ever have of being on point of view was when president bush uh when we were having the

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_03]: economic situation yes you're having you know intervened in saving some companies and and

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_03]: his quote was i have violated free market principles to save the free market economy

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_03]: and your life was like on what and uh so people think you can violate these principles i mean the

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_03]: principles are like gravity it doesn't work okay so you you can't put you know the the

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_03]: real answer is we don't want the government making these decisions for us we don't want

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: the government try you know even if the worst time is when the government's intentions are good

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_03]: right but if the government starts coming in let's think of what this means if the government

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_03]: comes in with a twenty five thousand dollar subsidy then number one who is paying for that

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_03]: okay all these other people that might want a house maybe they can't afford one yet and

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_03]: some of their tax money is now being taken to buy somebody else a house or maybe you have

[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_03]: taxes are maybe being raised yes and your and maybe somebody else is like i mean just

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_03]: work so hard to get a house and now they're taxing that person to help the other person

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_03]: get a house i mean this whole the whole thing is just so wrong in so many ways um and it reminds me

[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_03]: a little bit of the student loan situation that's why i put those together yeah the idea that when

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: when biden came along and try to wipe out student loans it's like think of all the people

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_03]: in manufacturing jobs in you know michigan and pennsylvania and hyal who they they couldn't go to

[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_03]: college you know they maybe they couldn't put their kids to college and and you're gonna make them pay

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_03]: for some rich kid who went to college and had a loan but you're they're gonna fund it i mean

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_03]: it's just so wrong on a moral basis in addition to being a horrible thing you know financially

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_03]: because all this does is prop prop up the price right of everybody going to college which is you

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: know what about the people that already paid for college yes or their parents did not fair

[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_03]: what suckers right yeah they actually paid their loans the day i mean that you're teaching all the

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_03]: wrong thing to these people too have a debt have a contract that you don't fulfill and well you know

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_03]: somebody else will save you boy that's a great lesson for life right that's what we want to

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_03]: teach people when they come out of college you know it's it's it's so in so many ways it's not

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_03]: looked at but it's so many ways it's so anti biblical it's so anti the principles that the bible teaches

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_03]: us and and so you know we certainly wouldn't teach our kids this way and yet that's what these

[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_03]: things do they it's i mean in a little bit it's all covetousness right it's all trying to pray on

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_03]: covetousness i want that i don't necessarily want to do all i need to do to pay to get that so i want it

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_03]: and uh so it comes right from the garden uh you know to now but we should be smart enough to be able

[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_04]: to repel those things just before take a break let me just mention the last article i've posted

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_04]: before we get to pen his commentary is called immigration and the electorate and really it

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_04]: was one that chelsea put up yesterday in the millennial roundtable but i thought i'd mention

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_04]: it because here brian a lineman writing in the federalist points out that the new york times published

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_04]: a piece really getting so excited about these new citizens getting to vote now if we're talking about

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_04]: new citizens who have gone through the process of naturalization in some respects they make very

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_04]: good citizens because they have actually earned about our history about our government they passed

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_04]: a citizenship test but if we're talking about people across the border and because they now

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_04]: have a driver's license as they can get in places like minnesota is that where the vice

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_04]: presidential nominees from they could probably go out and vote and that's the real concern i think

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_04]: kelly have about what might happen in this election well you know speaker of the house

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_03]: might johnson is pushing really hard that this save act goes through to make clear that you

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_03]: should have to show you should have to be a obviously show your citizenship because this

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_03]: could happen all around the country and uh... and and what would happen now if anybody is caught

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_03]: i mean it's there's you know you go to jail for this type of thing depending upon your state

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_03]: so hopefully that would just want you know it you know dissuaded a lot of people from doing it but

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_03]: i mean what's amazing is that this won't pass that the democrats won't let this go there you go

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_03]: i mean what's that all about should be a hundred percent in favor of the fact that yeah well

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_03]: you know it is illegal for non-citizens to vote so to have the idea to make sure that their

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_03]: citizens would be kind of basic if you're giving drivers licenses people that aren't citizens

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_03]: then you need to make sure that they're not coming in with a driver's license and saying hey i'm

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_03]: going to vote um but it's amazing there so far they haven't been successful i mean the house

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_03]: is very much in favor of it and might johnson but the democrats don't want to go through in

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_03]: the senate and so uh whether they end up attaching to that to some sort of uh...

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_03]: c r or some sort of funding of the government i don't know but it's amazing that that's not a hundred

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_04]: percent across the board should be passed the house didn't pass the senate which back to the issue

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_04]: even if you're not concerned about who the president is and you should be you should be

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_04]: concerned about what's going on in the senate if you had republican senate right now some very

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_04]: good pieces of legislation would at least have been on the desk of joe biden and you'd have

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_04]: to decide if he was going to veto it of course we have a different president that president might

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_04]: even sign it so there's a lot of stake in the selection isn't there absolutely well let's take

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_04]: a break a penned extra's commentary you can hear of course any hour but right now it's on working men

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_04]: and it kind of correlates very much with the piece i posted earlier in the week on

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_04]: unemployable just think about this seven million men ages 25 to 54 not in the workforce

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_04]: and they're not looking for work what about that talk about that right after this last year to coincide

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_01]: with labor day senator marco rubio's office issued a report entitled the state of the working and

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_01]: nonworking man labor day 2024 comes amidst presidential campaigns in which the american

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_01]: working class is a key constituency senator rubio's report lays some groundwork by stating that prime

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: age men who are not in the labor force report feeling sad and purposeless at much higher rates

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: than men with jobs these men spend more time alone than those who are working more than two

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_01]: thirds of these nonworking men have never married and nearly a third live with their parents almost

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_01]: half of them take painkillers daily and they are more likely to take their own lives the report

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: points out that working men face a crisis of their own their outcomes and prospects in work

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_01]: education and family life are dimmer than their fathers because they face an economy and

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: society that no longer rewards their efforts the way they once did the report cites several

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_01]: contributing factors one is mass immigration another is deindustrialization with manufacturing

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_01]: being replaced by a service economy writer and consultant erin renne publishes a sub stack

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: newsletter which tackles challenges unique to men in our society mr renne says that although

[00:35:04] [SPEAKER_01]: senator rubio supports working to reindustrialize america it's not a panacea he says this

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_01]: report wisely avoids over promising what can be accomplished by reindustrialization

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_01]: we need more men in what the report calls protector professions like policing border patrol and the

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_01]: military areas where arguably expansion is needed anyway the report recommends eliminating the

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_01]: marriage penalty in federal assistance programs and it wisely recommends making it mandatory

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_01]: that able-bodied men be actively looking for work in order to receive any public benefits

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_01]: some of the report's recommendations unwisely expand government we must adopt common sense

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_01]: policies that encourage mental work and to become independent marry and form families

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_02]: for point of view i'm penned extra you're listening to point of view your listener supported source

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_04]: for truth last segment we're really going to talk about cultural issues here and these are problems

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_04]: that exist no matter who we elect as president no matter who you elect to the u.s senate no

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_04]: matter who your next governor is and it doesn't mean we shouldn't be involved in that but

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_04]: culture is upstream from politics politics is downstream from culture and penned extra's commentary

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_04]: today is on working man my commentary today is on kids it's based on the interview we did

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_04]: last week with paul kinger in which he wrote a piece you can never have enough kids and again

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_04]: of course he's got quite a few himself but we have a generation that's saying i'm not going

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_04]: to get married i'm not going to have kids and in this study that you mentioned pennett

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_04]: comes from senator markar rubio is on the program with us just the other day more than two-thirds of

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_04]: these non-working men have never been married nearly a third of them live with their parents

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_04]: almost half of them take painkillers and they really need to take control of their lives don't

[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_01]: they yeah it's rubio senator rubio came out with this report a year ago right before labor day

[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and so we're coming up on labor day i thought it was a good time to do it and the other

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_01]: reason i thought it was a good time to talk about this issue is because uh donald trump and

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_01]: kamala harris both say they want to appeal to working class uh and also jd vance comes from

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_01]: that class he comes from um you know his upbringing was with these kinds of people

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_01]: most of the people that he comes uh from had jobs but the beginning of rubio's report

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_01]: talks about those who don't have jobs uh there are lots of men that were displaced

[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_01]: simply over the years when we have had globalization and we've had a lot of outsourcing of manufacturing

[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_01]: and to say that we would bring that all back that would be impossible we can't do that but

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_01]: there are things we can do but these men uh some of these non-working men and there are

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_01]: millions of them spend more time alone than those who are working more than two-thirds

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_01]: of them have never married um because we have a different view of marriage today we think you

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: have to have your act together before you get married rather than getting married and maybe

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_01]: getting your act together together uh and then a third live with their parents they some of them

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_01]: take painkillers of course you've got also just other drug problems uh but then the working men

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_01]: they have their own crisis and that's because of what i just mentioned a lot of the jobs that

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_01]: maybe their fathers had that gave them enough to make uh to support a family on uh are not doing

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_01]: that for for men anymore and so they no longer rewarded the way they expected to be because

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_01]: their fathers were so what are the what are the reasons well number one immigration it's a huge

[00:38:48] [SPEAKER_01]: reason for it because some of the jobs even though they say i remember president was used

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: to say well these are the jobs americans just won't do well if they're desperate enough they

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_01]: might do them uh and if they're presented in a different light uh you know a manufacturing

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: job is a good job they might do them uh so deindustrialization with manufacturing being

[00:39:08] [SPEAKER_01]: replaced by a service economy and so a lot of these non-working men or these working men

[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_01]: don't think they have the skills for a service economy uh and that manufacturing jobs have

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: been displaced uh so you know just some of these problems that these men have well um

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Marco Rubio's report has some some recommendations for government not that it would be the government

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_01]: coming in and sort of running the economy but it would be eliminating some of the detriments

[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_01]: to men working and we were saying during the break just the family having intact families is

[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_01]: really important for the mental health of our society and for men uh and so you know if they

[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_01]: have those families we need to be able to not making it hard to form those families

[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_01]: marriage penalties and all the laws that are um providing help to people are you know they

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_01]: should be eliminated and we talked about that for a generation but it's still in there

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_01]: marriage penalties are still in there so you know just thinking about these things and

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_01]: looking at working men and i think we've got jd vance there um if he ends up in the

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_01]: vice presidency i think we will see ways hopefully not ways that expand government too much but

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_01]: other ways where you can actually make life better in america for the working class i remember back

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_03]: years ago that that book by a maggie gallagher and i forget what the other sociologist was

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_03]: but it was the case for marriage for marriage and one of the stats that just i've never forgotten

[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_03]: what and i don't know if it's still this way i've got to think it probably is but

[00:40:46] [SPEAKER_03]: it was the average age of death of a married man was 74 and a single man was 57 and uh and then

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_03]: in it was it was better for women to be married too but not quite as good as it was for men uh

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_03]: and there's lots of reasons for that that they tried to guess to but i think ultimately we all

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_03]: know it's because this this is what god created and it's good and uh and so you know just family as

[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_03]: as um you know penniless talking about is the answer to a lot of these things um having intact

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_03]: families having some a partner you know i mean not not going it alone and there's this whole

[00:41:32] [SPEAKER_03]: i don't you know somebody might have written something i haven't read it yet because i you

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_03]: know i'm just kind of an old guy now i guess i look at i don't understand these young people

[00:41:41] [SPEAKER_03]: who don't want to have kids right i mean first it's not biblical right i mean god says children are

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_03]: blessing but i mean it's the best part of life to have kids and grandkids and just the the deep

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_03]: meaning um there's a scripture there's some scriptures i think in deuteronomy where it

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_03]: talks about cursing and blessing and i think one of the curses it might have been in a different

[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_03]: book but he talks about god says he's going to curse and the thing he's going to do is not allow

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_03]: you to joy to enjoy the weddings of your children and it's kind of an odd thing but if you've been

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_03]: through you know one of your children getting married and being the right marriage and you

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_03]: i mean the joy of that is just wonderful the whole generational uh uh you know thing that god

[00:42:30] [SPEAKER_03]: sets up for us is such a blessing and i don't understand what's gotten into the minds of not most

[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_03]: but a significant percentage of people that say i don't ever want to have children um or that i want

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_04]: to wait and have enough money to have kids yeah and it is too late yeah and that's what paul kanger

[00:42:48] [SPEAKER_04]: says well how many kids did your grandparents have when they came over on the boats to ellis

[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_04]: island where they pour yeah how many kids they have a lot oh you know they never thought

[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_03]: about that because the culture is saying no you shouldn't have yes and so it gosh the church

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_03]: needs to enter that culture and speak the truth into the darkness because they're the ones being
