Now enjoy the show. know Tim's expertise, you know his contacts in government, you know who would probably tap him to really address some pressing issues.
Yeah, but I'm not really a speculator, so I'm not going to make too many guesses.
Can't speculate.
It's classified.
We can't address it publicly or ever.
Probably will be declassified in, what do you think, 2085?
Yeah.
Tim will be back.
Don't worry.
But tonight you're here with me.
I'm Hannah Clare.
Kingsley and Ian are both here still.
So we're going to get in some news.
We're going to take some callers.
I pulled up this story, which I am super excited about because it just seems so ridiculous and slightly petty.
So Vermont lawmaker apologizes for repeatedly pouring water in her colleague's bag.
There's a picture of it here.
It's a tote bag that would hang in the hallway of the state house in Vermont. And apparently, Representative Mary Morrissey publicly apologized to state representative
Jim Carroll, colleagues and the citizens of Vermont from the House floor on Monday.
Both are from Bennington, a town of about 15,000 people in the southwest corner of the state. I'm
truly ashamed of my actions, said Morrissey for her, quote, disrespectful conduct towards Carroll.
She apologized directly to Carroll and would be working towards resolutions and restorations throughout
the legislative process. So apparently this Democrat, Carroll, noticed that throughout
January and February, every once in a while, his bag would be soaking wet. And then it goes down a
little bit further. So a couple of times per week in January and February. But then after he was
charged with driving under the influence in February and returned from rehab, his bag was soaked almost daily.
So in response, you know, we love a sleuth.
He set up a camera under a scarf and caught her pouring glasses of water.
But he didn't go forward with it after the first day.
He waited like three days and then brought this this to you know the rest of the house and
uh proceeded with uh some kind of retribution he said it was relentless he said he was being
targeted uh what do you guys make of this is this uh reprehensible conduct we love petty
pettiness in the office i don't love it at all oh it's disgusting well you said he he got video
of her dumping it in the bag three days in a row. And then he was like, now I'm going to go.
Yeah.
Which I think is fascinating.
And that's what you see.
You see in this image, there's sort of that black line over it.
And apparently he hid it under a scarf, this secret camera.
Oh, that's awesome.
Isn't that funny?
I love it.
He went like full James O'Keefe.
He was like, I'm going to go undercover.
I'm going to figure out what you're doing to my bag.
But this is so wild. I can't imagine the level of pettiness and i also want to know more like
her statement is just insufficient for me what was the motivation like did she just hey i hate
this guy because he's a democrat or is there a personal beef there has to be i mean it can't
just be party affiliation something had to have happened right and i need to know what it is the
ab was saying something to the effect of uh you know, she has tormented him and he says she's, you know,
made his life difficult in other ways. But this is such a specific act. Like you just pour a glass
of water on somebody's bag every time you walk by. Like what what was she thinking? And also,
when did she like what inspired this? I really need some in-depth journalism here.
I wish I'm not the guy for that i can tell you that much you ever have something
happen like this in your workplace no not like this not that i not off the top of my head have
you no not that i can think of i don't think so it's like destruction of property right consistent
and maybe it wasn't destroying anything but i mean you pour water on something you could
you could destroy it yeah what's in there i just think this is funny like do you think it's pretty funny do you think we're
gonna see more of this oh god people punishing their colleagues in the workplace absolutely i
mean this like kind of just insane unhinged behavior reminds me of the recent exchange on
the house floor um between mtg and representative crockett you know yelling at each other about butch bodies and
eyelashes and like it's just like the total degradation of basically like decorum that we
used to have from our representatives both state elected officials and you know members of congress
my first thought was this like this is like elementary school stuff like what you would do
is like pour peanut put peanut butter on your friend's book if you didn't
like him or something or some girl you liked or something like that.
Do you think Americans are more petty now than ever?
Is pettiness on the rise in America?
I think Americans are more immature than ever.
And you see it in different ways.
It's like you see the Disney adults, right?
And the Peter Pan syndrome people talk about with men.
It's just I don't know exactly why it is but i
feel like there's just like mass immaturity yeah and people who haven't grown up and i don't know
why that is necessarily maybe it's just the nanny state and they've been babied so they never had to
take adult responsibility um but yeah sometimes i think it's vanity culture people are so fearful
of aging that they then fear it in all aspects of life.
Like they don't want to look older.
They don't want to seem older.
They don't want to take on adult responsibilities.
People are deferring having children because they want to spend their incomes on themselves.
Like any signs that possibly you could be growing up are sort of abhorrent to a lot of people.
And I think that actually happens on both sides of the political persuasion.
But it leaves our country with a lot of people. And I think that actually happens on both sides of the political persuasion, but it leaves our country with a lot of immature people.
Yeah, that's how I feel. I'm immature in a lot of ways. I was telling you before the show earlier,
I'm living the life of luxury, everything, the physical things, but my purpose is kind of like,
what's the point? I can wake up five days in a row and play video games or write a book or just
make stuff. But what am I really producing without the kids involved uh but then it's like to think like to
embark on that path without like a partner that gets it in lockstep is like the exhaustion that
comes in it's just the idea of trying to raise a kid without like the right partner and so i'm
like well i'll wait for the partner but then then I got to set myself up for that. I think family does give people purpose. I think it's a huge, one of our big cultural
losses is the fact that we don't value the family. And instead we worship at the altar of
professionalism, right? Like people put this careerism ahead of everything else. And I think
it really blurs your ability to judge what is really going to bring you joy and happiness at
the end of life.
I respect people who work hard. I think people who have professional ambitions are great.
But I don't think that everything you do in life should revolve around basically your employer.
I think you have to have purpose outside of your office.
No, I think 100 percent. Like when you're on your deathbed, you're not going to be like,
wow, I'm so glad that I went from, you know, manager to associate director. You just want to be surrounded by your family and look at your kids because that is, I think, your legacy. A lot of people, you know, they're fearful, I think, of death because they're like, once I'm gone, there's nothing left. But your kids can kind of carry on that memory. And I think that that's something that's really powerful and should be aspirational for a lot of people.
But of course, it's difficult when society is telling you
that it's bad and the root of all evil
and you should just be a cog in a corporate machine.
But I think people are starting to wake up to that.
I think there has been, you know,
like a pro-family awakening.
Yeah, you were never like a corporate climber
from what I know.
Why do you think,
like how has your view on family shifted over time? Well, I was never really a corporate climber from what I know. Why do you think, like how has your view on family shifted
over time? Well, I was never really a corporate climber, but I was an actor. So I didn't want to
have kids. It just wasn't part of my MO for the first 30 years or something. I was like, I can
have kids when I'm older and I can focus on my career. Cause if I got to go five 30 in the
morning to eight o'clock at night, Monday through Friday for my job, which is like, if I'm on a TV show, that's my job. I'm not going to be seeing that kid very much.
So I kind of put it off a little bit, but only in the last four or five years,
probably doing this show a lot. Have I really like seen the purpose or like,
I've got a lot of friends that have kids and my parents are great. And like,
I want, I want to do
it I don't even know what it is exactly having kids I just know that it's part of like I don't
know something bigger and greater than self-reflection over and over again I'm at least
like changing someone else but you're saying like in last four so like basically when you got to
your 40s you were like this is actually something I want to prioritize now. Yeah. It's probably when I was like 42 or 41.
Cause I feel like for women,
that realization has to come earlier or it comes like,
if it comes at 40,
it's very,
very difficult to have your own children at that point.
Yeah,
definitely.
And that's why I think you're seeing like more and more videos on Tik Tok and
Instagram and stuff of women being like,
it's like becoming too late for me. And I
bought into the lies of feminism. And now I'm just like, I'm worried because I do have that,
you know, time constraint. And I do have, you know, the biological clock that men necessarily
don't have. So I think that it's definitely, yeah, it's, it's, there's more pressure on women,
I think, than men to realize, oh, I got to be pro-family. I got to procreate. I have to actually
actively make these things a priority in my life.-family. I got to procreate. I have to actually actively make these
things a priority in my life or I'm like going to miss the boat. Yeah. And I think it's difficult
too because, you know, if you want to be married and have a family, you need to be with a man who
is also like, yes, this is a priority as well. I think it's so interesting to see our culture,
like, I feel like the left has co-opted the word like family and community.
They talk about these things.
But if you want to build your own, you're going against feminism.
You're, you know, potentially contributing to environmental decline.
Like, it is something that is bad to do, yet they're always talking about like, oh, chosen family.
Or, you know, you got to give back to your community without actually wanting people to build it on their own.
I find that very, very weird.
I don't know if you guys ever.
There's a phenomenon.
It was kind of scary to become a leader, to go from being a follower to being a leader.
Because like when you're a leader, if you make a mistake, there's no check to be like, well, we're not going to let that mistake go forward because you're the leader.
You made the mistake.
Everyone's affected by it.
So it kind of like becoming a father
is kind of like stepping to that leadership position.
Like, if I fuck this kid's life up, dude,
I can fuck my own life up.
I can recover.
But if I end up doing that to my wife and my kid,
it's a scary risk.
Maybe most people don't think about it
or don't feel like that,
but it feels like that
for me.
I think too now there's more challenges for parents than ever before.
So it is definitely becoming a very daunting task.
I was just the other day, you know, at home watching a show that was like not necessarily
an adult show, like definitely PG and really inappropriate commercials are just coming
on, you know, every single commercial break.
And I was literally sitting there wondering like, if my kid were here, how would I explain this to them?
Like, this is just crazy. The kind of stuff that they're going to run into online, see on TV,
on their TikTok feeds, it's really bad stuff. And to be able to protect them from that and give them
a semblance of a normal childhood, you know, the one that we had when we were all growing up,
it's difficult and I think it's challenging. So we have to have people that are willing to rise to that challenge. But I understand
what you're saying with it can be daunting. I think it is daunting because you're irresponsible
for someone else. And especially if you're in a married unit, you are responsible. Like,
you know, if you're the male provider, you are responsible for a lot of people. And I think
people, again, want to not take responsibility. They view that as something either they are
incapable of doing, which is probably not
true, or they don't want to do, which is sort of sad because you're shutting yourself out
from something that's potentially great.
What you're saying about the commercials makes me think about what the Surgeon General just
said, he had an op-ed in the New York Times saying we should have warnings on social media
because social media is so devastating to the brains of young adults and teenagers.
I don't know if you guys saw that.
No.
Let me look, I think, pull it up.
Oh gosh.
Yeah, I absolutely believe that.
I mean, it definitely is.
And all of these, you know, TikTok and everyone else, their algorithms are designed to be so addictive.
Oh yeah.
I think that's, you know, that's really detrimental for kids.
That's like an ethics conversation. Right. ethical how addictive could it be yeah well so uh i'm just pulling
stuff from the washington post certain general calls for social media warning labels vivic
murthy said a call to action comes as regulators scrutinize links between social media use
and children's mental health amid scientific debate. And I remember reading this, you know, it goes on to say,
he wrote this opinion piece for the New York Times,
and he urged Congress to take action to requiring that social media platforms
include a Surgeon General's warning to, quote,
regularly remind parents and adolescents that social media has not been proved safe.
He cited a Gallup poll where teenagers talked about the fact that it was addictive, that there were problems.
They say that, you know, after three hours, the teenagers are increasingly more likely to develop anxiety and depression if they're using social media for three hours every day.
And the average teenager uses social media for, I think it's five and a half hours every day. So we already know that most teenagers
are at increased risk to develop
adverse mental health effects
because of their habitual use of social media.
I mean, it's an interesting thing.
So this was compared to, you know,
if you had a warning on a cigarette pack
saying you're going to get a black lung or whatever.
It's a surgeon.
That's interesting.
Doing like for electronic addiction,
it's a surgeon, like an actual health surgeon that's got to make a claim about this electronic i don't know do
are there other electronic programs that have been classified as dangerous for the surgeon
general i don't think so from him i don't think he's classified anything else i mean this is this
would be a unique thing but again like to kingsley's point people today are facing challenges
that even your parents generation didn't have to face like with the rapid rise of technology
with you know the way television has changed with the way streaming services has changed
people are having to parent in a day and age where really all of these things that theoretically we
could use for good things i'm not i'm not trying to be a technophobe, but ultimately they are often used to target and exploit your children.
As a parent, you have to be on guard against that.
Serge wants to go to callers.
He's giving me a signal.
He thinks he runs this show.
But, yeah, let's put someone in.
Serge, I'm in charge here.
I specifically claimed the seat when Tim was abducted by, we won't say,
classified briefing.
Your hair really actually looks good tonight, Serge, by the way.
I know I say that sometimes.
No, it's all good.
I appreciate it, man.
All right.
Let's talk to Ben Coe.
Ben Coe, how you doing?
Howdy, howdy, guys.
First time, long time.
How y'all doing?
Hey, good.
Thanks, man.
Okay.
My question is for Hannah Clare. The Army Corps is attempting to get Congress currently to authorize the seizing and flooding of roughly 50,000 acres of private property in Florida on a false premise.
This includes my family's land. They've been trying to seize mine, seize mine and my neighbor's land since 2017, but didn't tell us until 2022. Now they're trying to rush the project into law under
WORDA 24. Would you be willing to help me bring attention to the $3.6 billion West Everglades
restoration project by covering it on SCNR? Yeah, I definitely would. Would you be able to
give me a bit more time to explain it just Yeah, of course. Just a little bit, potentially. Yeah, I'd definitely be interested.
You know, you should always be contacting any of the registered SCNR with stuff like this.
I would be curious to know if you've had any other media coverage and any other links that you have about it.
I think land seizure by the government is a really serious issue.
So if it's not me, I can definitely help with connecting you to someone else at SCNR.
Yeah, awesome. We had the
local ABC affiliate out, but they, after filming for like five hours, decided not to run the story
after all. So it's just been a whole smorgasbord. The long short of it, though, is I've proven that
their project is totally wrong. I've got surveys from the 1800s, 1900s, and today. And the Army
Corps' response was to increase the amount of money they're
requesting for eminent domain by $117 million. And what is their intended purpose for the land?
They claim that they are restoring the natural flowway of the Western Everglades,
but the reality is the Seminole tribe of Florida and the Biden administration are using what they call indigenous tribal ecological knowledge to sever all the water going into the Seminole Reservation and trap it on privately owned lands.
And it's not just landowner concerns.
We're like primary panther breeding grounds.
I recorded five different Florida panthers on the same camera in a 50-day period, including two newborn kittens.
And those clips are all on the Under the Radar channel right now.
This is going to destroy like 50,000 acres of ranch land, and it's going to wind up in a Bundy
Ranch situation if they try to push it forward. 100% of the landowners are opposed to this.
Even Seminole tribal members largely oppose it. But the tribe, the
tribes and nonprofits have forced it through, which that would get to into the weeds. I'm not
trying to take all your time. I appreciate you guys listening to me. Yeah. Send me send me a
message on Twitter or if you want to email me, I'm Hannah Clare at Tim Kess dot com. And, you know,
we'll we'll figure it out because it sounds really interesting. And I'm maybe not a Florida land expert, but I definitely don't like it when the government seizes land.
So thanks for the call, man.
Thank you, guys.
Real quick, I just want to say you guys can follow me on Olsen Trail Cams on YouTube and X.
Ms. Hannah Clare, I'll be sure to reach out to you.
And final thoughts, you cannot sit idle in a world where the government will actively try
to screw you over at every turn. Any of you listening that own property, you need to be
actively monitoring and investigating your local and federal agencies, because I've got proof that
for five years they were trying to seize our land before they bothered to even let us know.
Thank you very much. Wild. Thank you. Thanks for letting us know, man. And thanks for the call.
Damn, man. Best of luck. All right. Cheers.
And let's talk to TMG Cooper.
You are live.
How you doing, man?
Oh, TMG Coper, rather.
Hey, guys.
How's it going?
Doing well, man.
Doing well.
So my question is about the twin study with transgenders.
The twin study is often used to justify transgender as legitimate science and not pseudoscience.
The hypothesis was that we could raise this boy as a girl.
The experiment stopped when he finally demanded
to stop doing the experiment when he was like 13.
But when he turned 25, he ended up killing himself.
When doing an experiment, you're testing a hypothesis
to find out if it is right or wrong.
How can it be a successful experiment
if this ended with him saying he was male and killed himself?
I don't think it was a successful experiment, and I've never heard it touted as a successful
experiment. So this case is, he ended up doing an Oprah interview from what I know about it. I've
watched him speak, and the devastation was pretty serious. The thing about a lot of twin studies is
that they're often done
in ways that are not well documented and are, in my opinion, extremely abusive. There's, there's
that documentary, The Three Strangers, which is about, you know, three different families in New
York, these men realized that they, you know, right around the age of 18 or 19, that they had
been separated, they were all, you know, it was an adoption agency
that specifically worked with, you know, Jewish single mothers, placed them with Jewish families,
and they had over time realized that they could experiment on twins this way. It was part of a
study that is archived at Yale University, and it is under lock and key. It cannot be released until
2065, despite the fact that the people in that
study have asked for the information. You know, with the transgender issue, sorry, I'm going to
talk so much right now because I find twins really fascinating. I always have. But with the idea of
gender, I think this case in particular, the one you're talking about with this, I can't remember
the man's name, but we had these twins that were separated and one was raised as a boy it ultimately
proved that uh nature won out right he never felt comfortable he talked about i remember watching
this interview with him he talked about the fact that he always held off it never felt good it was
a really upsetting childhood he felt isolated and then it turned out that he was always being
raised the wrong way if i'm not mistaken, and I can double check this.
Yeah.
So the reason that this guy who ends up going by the name Bruce was selected for this was because he had when they were circumcising him, there had been an accident and his penis was completely damaged.
And so his parents were basically advised to raise him as a girl.
And so it wasn't like a study like in contrast to this study with the multiples that were done in, that was done in New York,
that involved these triplets, these triplets. That was like a strategic study. Like all of
those triplets were replaced with families that had a daughter that was older, that was 21,
right? Like there were weird controls going on there. And there were teams of researchers that
met with these kids over time. In this case, you took something that was awful and with bad medical advice said, well, maybe if you do it
this way, it'll work out. And so this case in particular is extremely abusive in my opinion.
I don't want to talk too much. I'm sure you guys have opinions on this too.
Yeah, no, I mean, I definitely agree. And I actually hadn't heard of this,
this story. So thanks for, for bringing it up. But yeah, I just, I agree. I mean,
it shows that nature ultimately wins out and, you know talk about the you know incident the accident that happened um when this person
was a baby and i think what's important to realize is it is it isn't just like a sex organ necessarily
like you down to your molecular level are either male or female like the male and female brain is
even so different so like you can't fully ever fully transition so what you have when you have people like this individual or
people who undergo you know hormone therapy um sex change surgeries whatever they do they never
fully transition so i think there's always an element of you know dissatisfaction that leads
to depression that leads to depression that
leads to you know often suicide and i think that that's really sad it's it's really i think it
illuminates how damaging these kinds of surgeries and procedures and recommendations are and i think
that people who you know advocate for them from the medical community should be definitely held
accountable for stuff like this yeah couldn't agree more yeah i think there it's uh i think it's something that we will look back
on and say this was not right and people who were on the side of saying like hey you shouldn't
subject teenagers who are going through a lot of changes who don't know to permanent change through
either uh you know uh hormone intervention or surgical intervention,
they'll say, like, we told you guys this was a bad idea. And I don't know why we don't look to
Europe, which is changing their standards on a lot of this and say, you know, they're saying,
do not medically transition your children. Don't do this. This is actually something we don't think
you should do anymore. I don't know why America has decided that this is or at least the American
left has decided this is an issue that we absolutely need to have, even when it flies in the face of science, even when they misrepresent science to get their way.
It sounds crazy to me.
Yeah, me too.
The United States of pharmacy, pharmacopoeia.
For real.
Right.
If you're sick and you have to take hormones for the rest of your life and get repeated surgeries or have any kind of mental health intervention, you are always paying into that system. And that should tell you what this
is about. That's also a really good point. Yeah. Well, I like this question. And, you know,
the twin study stuff, I really recommend everyone look into the tripled studies that were done or
the twin studies that were done in New York and that are still classified. I find that.
That's so weird.
That's really crazy.
Yeah.
But by the university, from what I understand, like it's not like the government was like, no, you can't do it.
It's the university that gets to say like, oh, these documents were entrusted to us and you have to get permission to read the study of twins that were separated and who were placed in different homes and, you know, never told.
Some of them don't even know that they were part of.
To this day, they're still.
Wow. It's still classified.
It's an ongoing experiment.
I'm curious if you can talk about that, Hannah, because there's also
instances of
a study in Harvard recently that Tim
talked about a couple years ago where
it showed that desistance rates in children are
very high if you don't let them, if you don't let them transition when they're young,
but it was shut down completely once the university was bringing it to the board.
Yeah. One of the pioneers of transgender studies, and I believe this was in the 1960s,
but I could be slightly wrong. But it was at, it was at Johns Hopkins and he was the pioneers of transgender studies, and I believe this was in the 1960s, but I could be slightly wrong.
But it was at John Hopkins and he was the head of psychiatry there, I believe.
And from what I remember, it was the first medical school in the country that ever performed gender transition surgery.
It was on an adult.
And they ultimately, he recommended we don't push forward with this.
And that held for decades. And then they ultimately decided to go against him.
And I believe the early 2000s. It's crazy to me.
Yeah. You can see Serge is pulling it up right now. Johns Hopkins has a center specifically for transgender youth.
But again, this went against their own experts' recommendation for decades.
It's wild that this was something
we knew was not something
we should have widely encouraged.
And then when it became profitable,
in my opinion, people pursued it.
Anything else to add, man?
Also, fuck John Money.
I hate that fucker.
Anything else to add, though?
Yeah, yeah, Serge.
Love that.
Follow the Instagram THC side.
Thank you guys so much.
Oh, ClaireCast is awesome.
Real big fan of ClaireCast.
Oh, my gosh.
Thanks.
Sometimes I call it Brimcast, and it's a hostile takeover.
But some people get upset about that and demand Tim.
But as you guys know, he's been called away.
Like Brimstone?
I don't know what that is.
Brimstone? Oh, Fire and Brimstone? Yeah don't know what that is. Brimstone?
Oh, Fire and Brimstone?
Yeah, yeah.
I like that, except a podcast version.
All right, well, thanks, mate.
Yeah, thanks so much.
Preach the call, as always.
Cheers.
All right, next up we got Catholic Cowboy.
How you doing, brother?
I'm doing well. How's everybody doing?
I'm great. Are you actually Catholic?
I am actually
Catholic, yes. Are you actually a cowboy?
I'm raised in
Southeast Georgia, yes, ma'am.
I think your audio's clipping in and out a little bit.
I do apologize.
It's a little bit like that.
I do back to the news, and
AT&T does not do that.
Yeah, your audio is cutting in and out.
I missed 100% of that, man.
Can you hear anything I'm saying?
I can hear you, but
are you near your router?
Are you possibly standing outside or something like that?
Yeah, I'm saying.
Apparently, brimstone is sulfur.
It is, yeah.
How's that? Any better?
Way better.
A lot better. Thank you, man.
Okay. Had to disconnect from the Wi-Fi.
Nice. Good call.
Long-time listener. Been listening since about 2020.
First time being able to call in. Love you guys.
Love you, brother.
So my question is about the illegal immigration
and the effects it has on, uh, my fellow first responders.
And I, as a firefighter EMT, I ended up running into situations where, uh, non-English speaking immigrants creates a massive language barrier.
And luckily I have some Spanish expertise in myself.
I'm not fully lost sword fluent myself. I'm not fully fluent, but I can get myself into trouble, can't get myself out of jail. for fire, EMS, police departments all over
to allow or incentivize first responders
to become translators
so that way we can better care for those in our communities.
Because regardless of them being illegal,
not illegal, whatever,
they still have a right to receive emergency care.
So like the government would issue a grant
to the departments and then the department would government would issue a grant to the departments
and then the department would pay like a stipend to the person
that's opting to become a translator as part of their job or something like that?
Yeah.
So like say for instance, like my department,
you have a mandatory requirement to become an AEMT.
But if you become a paramedic, you get a $5,000 raise.
I believe that we should have bilingual pay raises as well, because we can go to those scenes where you can't gain
information from the patient due to language barrier. And they should either, in my opinion,
A, give us that stipend or provide the education for us.
I mean, it sounds like you're leading from the front.
So I tend to take people's advice when I hear someone that actually has actual experience.
That's a fascinating concept.
And I think that should definitely be pushed forward to the top.
Yeah, I mean, I would say like, sure, like, let's do it.
And then let's immediately make sure that English is declared
the national like the national language it's so frustrating so many of these issues that we're
dealing with that stem from immigration are totally like they're not issues that we should
be having to deal with we're having to you know solve problems and try to create you know quick
fixes while never addressing the underlying issue so So if we actually do stuff like this and
do secure the border, do declare English the national language, I think we're going to be
better off for it in the long run. I think this is maybe one of those short-term fixes that's
worth doing. It definitely sounds like from your experience, you think that's the case,
and I trust your judgment being on the ground there. But yeah, it's just frustrating me to
hear stuff like this
because this is America.
We should speak English.
We should have people here legally, not illegally.
We've created so many problems for ourselves
by opening the borders.
We've opened the floodgates
and it's just, it's really hard to put the genie back
in the bottle and your story is proof of that.
Yeah, I agree with Kingsley.
I do think, you know,
I think English should be declared
the national language in America
and I think it's important to secure the border.
So this is not just something that goes on and on and on.
I completely defer to you.
You know, it would seem potentially like a hazard to not have someone who can communicate with the people who seek help and someone who is in distress or needs care who cannot communicate with you.
You know, obviously, you would want to be able to communicate with them the best you can. My question would be, does it have to be a federal
grant? I would be more interested in seeing it funded through the state. And also, I would be
interested in seeing what state resources already exist that you could then open up to first
responders. So could community colleges offer Spanish language classes for free if you're
a first responder, rather than bringing the federal government more involved with, especially
on the local level? You know, different, predominantly we see Spanish, but there are
different immigrant communities that settle in different parts of the country. So if you have,
you know, a city that has a large, you know, Mandarin speaking population? Is there an already funded institution in that area that could potentially as a workplace
benefit offer first responders that are interested in this?
And then, you know, I could understand where potentially there is financial compensation
for you guys, but it's like two separate things that are right against each other, right? We don't want to
encourage a system that is like we're making illegal immigration something we're just learning
to live with and accommodate. On the other hand, I would never want someone to be in crisis,
either the first responder or a person, and to potentially make the situation worse by having
an easily solvable issue, like potentially basic skills in a language for a population that's
there. I wonder too, in terms of just like saving money and cutting costs, like a lot of AI like
freaks me out, but I wonder if you could employ AI to do something like this, because we have,
obviously like there's a lot of Spanish speakers in the United States, but as we increasingly get,
you know, people crossing the Southern border, coming from China, coming from African countries,
coming from the Middle East, there's going to be a lot of languages to accommodate.
So I wonder if, too, we could just employ technology to kind of translate for us in real time.
You could have an earpiece for sure.
Right.
But then speaking it to them might be a challenge.
Yeah.
You could have, like, incoming.
Yeah.
And I can assume—
There are—
Sorry, go ahead.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No.
There are some innovations with that.
Like they do have translator apps and so on and so forth.
However, the issue that commonly occurs is the demographic of the language that you have.
For instance, if you have a Spain Spanish speaker and you say tortilla to them, you're talking about an omelet.
But if you say someone from Latin America and you say tortilla, you're talking about what everyone else thinks of when they think about topea yeah and so that's that's one common issue and the most common thing i ever
see get used is google translate in the hospitals because even these programs that they have where
it's either the hotline for transit or the real-time translation app, the cost is so great. And I do fully agree with you. It should be a
state-funded thing. And I definitely think it should be on the demographic of the secondary
language that is common there. Yeah. I just think it's best for local communities to be in control
of as much money and decisions as possible because they know their community best, right? They know
who might need these services and what the language might be.
But I think it's a really good question, and I'm glad you raised it
because we do have to deal with this type of challenge in today's America.
Thank you, brother.
Yes, ma'am.
All right.
Thank you, guys.
Always love hearing from you.
Always love seeing your support.
If I can, I just want to shout out my wife real quick for always being there for me and giving me two beautiful children.
That's awesome.
I love it.
I love when pro-family people call in.
Appreciate it, man.
Pro-family.
Why would someone ever be anything other than pro-family?
We just had a whole conversation.
Some people are against the family.
The fuck?
We did have a couple of them call in.
They'd be like, I'm at the hospital with my wife who's in labor.
And I was like, great.
But also, is this like the priority right now?
I'm excited.
Jay Carmichael, how you doing?
Well, yeah, speaking of family, thanks for having me on.
It's been a little bit since I've called in.
I met a few of you guys down in Miami back
in October and I haven't called in in a while but um it's yeah I was I was actually kind of
hoping to talk with Tim a little bit about the draft um sort of from a family perspective perspective. The other day I was, I was playing a show over in Lander, Wyoming, and I was driving
back and it was father's day. And I drove like 10 hours to get home and have dinner with my kids.
And I was really angry all day because of this draft bill. And they were kind of like,
what's going on? Why you upset and i explained to my
nine-year-old son and my 11-year-old daughter what was going on and explained that like
and now we're adding our daughters to this mix and i just think that it's absolutely ridiculous
um and abhorrent and immoral um so I guess the question is what it like,
is there anything that we can do about this at this point? Like it was,
it was sort of confusing. It sounds like this is a Senate provision.
And so it doesn't sound like this is in the house package that the house just
passed for the NDAA. So like, I was hoping Tim would be here and maybe I should try and call
him tomorrow. I mean, I can explain the different process here. You know, I'm not Tim, but we look
alike. So with any major bill that has a lot of addendums it goes back and forth between the
house and senate while they negotiate the terms like each chamber individually has to negotiate
something they come up with draft they send it to the other one the other one might add stuff might
want stuff taken out it has to go back for final if they they then pass that it goes back to whatever
chamber so um if it started in the house and the house said you know here's the bill and it doesn't
have this in it they passed it without it they'll go go to the senate and the House said, you know, here's the bill and it doesn't have this in it. They passed it without it. They would go to the Senate and the Senate is now saying we want to
add this with the draft so that women are included. You know, first it has to pass the Senate with the
addendum that's in it. So all the Senate has to agree they want this in there and then send it
back to the House for final approval. If that were to happen, you know, so theoretically you should
be calling your senators, right? Saying, I don't want this. I don't want this in there. This is
not how, this doesn't reflect my values. I think it's bad for the country. You know, so theoretically, you should be calling your senators, right, saying, I don't want this. I don't want this in there. This is not how this will reflect my values.
I think it's bad for the country. You know, that's who you should be contacting right now.
And if it's already been passed by the Senate, which I will admit I haven't checked on it.
I don't totally know where it is. If it has been passed by the Senate, then it goes to the House.
And at that point, you call the members of the House of Representatives and you say, I don't want this.
This is bad. I oppose this. This would be something that I would not vote for you for reelection for. That's how serious this issue is for me,
because that's the checks and balances with creating laws. So there is still time to do
something. It's not just like over. But I think this is where people need to take a strong and
public stance. Definitely. And something similar to this happened, you know, two years ago. There
was a big, you know, don't draft our daughters movement because a similar thing had been passed
by the Senate. And then there was a big fight over it. Ultimately, it didn't make it, wasn't,
you know, passed by both the House and the Senate and didn't become law. So that should be proof
that we can squash something like this again. We've done it before. We just need to gear up,
get the phones
hot, call them nonstop, tell them, you know, you won't stand for this, go to their district offices
of the representative near you, make a stink, demand to talk to people. There's a lot of
grassroots action that we can do to stop stuff like this.
Does that answer your question or at least this weighed some concern yeah yeah no i mean
yeah like i said i i explained that to my kid the other night and she i mean she just she just broke
down crying like she was just like why wouldn't they give us a choice and it's like this is
ironic because it's coming from the democrats right who are who are all about giving us the
choice to kill babies whenever or giving women the choice to kill babies but they won't give
them the choice as far as fucking war excuse
my language but I like I'm
I'm really fuming about this
um go for it man
it's not a censor show
the uh yeah
anyway well okay
thank you guys um
I appreciate it
I uh
I'll shout out real quick i'm a songwriter i'm
touring all over the mountain west right now i'm hoping to get over to west virginia i'd
