- 0:00Speaker 1: Democrats ring in the new year with a new idea,
- 0:03Speaker 1: less transparency and fewer rights for you as adults. Welcome
- 0:09Speaker 1: to America in twenty twenty two. There are two major
- 0:12Speaker 1: stories today that I'm going to talk about. One of
- 0:15Speaker 1: them deals with lack of transparency in the classroom. Democrats
- 0:20Speaker 1: are freaking out now over a bill that should be
- 0:22Speaker 1: filed in every state, that has been filed in Florida
- 0:26Speaker 1: that would allow video and audio recordings in the classroom.
- 0:29Speaker 1: We're gonna deal with that, and why are they fighting transparency?
- 0:32Speaker 1: Number one? There's another news story that's important. That is
- 0:36Speaker 1: this The average American now in this country cannot even
- 0:40Speaker 1: afford to buy a used car. Why use car prices
- 0:43Speaker 1: of skyrocketed to twenty nine thousand dollars. That is the
- 0:47Speaker 1: average cost of a used car now. And how much
- 0:50Speaker 1: is a new car average price? I'm going to tell
- 0:52Speaker 1: you in a moment this as the media tries to
- 0:56Speaker 1: mind trick you into believing that everything is going amazingly
- 1:00Speaker 1: well with the economy. Now, before we get into these stories,
- 1:03Speaker 1: I want to remind you I need your help. A
- 1:05Speaker 1: liberal website attacked our podcast this past week and got
- 1:09Speaker 1: people to write a unbelievable number of negative reviews. So
- 1:13Speaker 1: if you're listening to this, we need you to help us.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Please while you're listening, right and say five star review.

- 1:29Speaker 1: please share it with your friends. All right, there is
- 1:32Speaker 1: a major bill that has been filed in Florida. And
- 1:37Speaker 1: this is a bill that every single person listening should
- 1:40Speaker 1: be advocating for in your state. Now. When I tell
- 1:44Speaker 1: you to advocate for it, that means more than just
- 1:46Speaker 1: saying I like it. You need to be calling your
- 1:49Speaker 1: local state representative, and you need to be calling your
- 1:52Speaker 1: local state senator. Forget calling the governor, Okay, start with
- 1:57Speaker 1: your local lawmakers, your local state rep and your local
- 2:02Speaker 1: state senator. Because what they're trying to do in Florida
- 2:06Speaker 1: right now, and this is unbelievably brilliant, and it's also
- 2:11Speaker 1: being met with a massive amount of opposition from the
- 2:16Speaker 1: teachers unions and the left because they don't want you
- 2:20Speaker 1: to see what's going on in your child's classroom, and
- 2:24Speaker 1: they sure as hell don't want you to hear what's
- 2:26Speaker 1: going on in your child's classroom? Now, how do I
- 2:29Speaker 1: know that? Because of their response, there are Democrats. Now
- 2:33Speaker 1: they're saying, fine, we'll allow you to put a camera
- 2:35Speaker 1: in the classroom, but we do not want you to
- 2:38Speaker 1: have audio of what's coming out of the mouths of
- 2:42Speaker 1: teachers to your children's ears, because that's where they know
- 2:47Speaker 1: they're going to get in trouble. I am going to
- 2:50Speaker 1: play for you a local newscast from WFLA Channel eight
- 2:56Speaker 1: in Florida, and I want you to hear how they
- 3:00Speaker 1: describe this bill that's been filed to seek to allow
- 3:03Speaker 1: not just video but also audio recordings in every school
- 3:07Speaker 1: classroom in the States. Public schools and every state in
- 3:12Speaker 1: America that beliefs in freedom should be doing this still
- 3:16Speaker 1: in the state legislature. Would allow schools to install cameras
- 3:19Speaker 1: in classrooms to record classroom instruction and let parents review
- 3:23Speaker 1: the footage if there is ever an incidence. The bill
- 3:25Speaker 1: would force certain classroom teachers to wear a microphone and
- 3:28Speaker 1: require a written explanation if that recording is interrupted. Political
- 3:32Speaker 1: reporter Amdonovan joins us from the newsroom with the details.
- 3:35Speaker 1: The bill would attempt to protect student privacy by forcing
- 3:39Speaker 1: the images of other students to be blurred, and schools
- 3:42Speaker 1: would be required to hold onto the recordings for at
- 3:45Speaker 1: least three months. The bill is sponsored by state Representative
- 3:48Speaker 1: Bob Rommel of Naples. It would allow school districts to
- 3:51Speaker 1: install video cameras in classrooms for the purposes of recording
- 3:56Speaker 1: an incident, which it defines as abuse or neglect of
- 3:59Speaker 1: a student by an employee or another student. Parents of
- 4:03Speaker 1: a child involved in an incident must be allowed to
- 4:06Speaker 1: review the video within a week, but the identity of
- 4:09Speaker 1: other students who aren't involved must be blurred. Teachers must
- 4:13Speaker 1: wear microphones, and the camera has to be at the
- 4:16Speaker 1: front of the classroom, capable of monitoring video and audio
- 4:20Speaker 1: from all areas except a restroom or other changing area. Parents, students,
- 4:25Speaker 1: and employees must be notified before cameras are installed, and
- 4:29Speaker 1: principles would be in charge of all recordings, which must
- 4:32Speaker 1: be kept for three months or until the conclusion of
- 4:35Speaker 1: any investigation or any administrative or legal proceedings. After that,
- 4:40Speaker 1: the video must be destroyed. The cameras cannot be live
- 4:44Speaker 1: streamed or continually monitored, and videos cannot be used for
- 4:48Speaker 1: teacher evaluations. The law would require By the way, I
- 4:52Speaker 1: just got to stop here. Why shouldn't you be able
- 4:55Speaker 1: to live stream this, at least the audio at the
- 4:59Speaker 1: bare men? Why should you have to, you know, go
- 5:03Speaker 1: in there and request to see video and have to
- 5:06Speaker 1: do all this paperwork. Why shouldn't parents be able to
- 5:09Speaker 1: see And I'm asked this question because I already know
- 5:12Speaker 1: why they're doing it this way, because this is like
- 5:14Speaker 1: the only possible compromise you can make with the Left.
- 5:18Speaker 1: And they're also saying, well, this is privacy. You're right,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you shouldn't be able to spy on other kids that
- 5:23Speaker 1: aren't your kid. Well, we're not saying the whole world
- 5:25Speaker 1: should be able to see it, but if your child
- 5:26Speaker 1: is in a classroom, should you be able to log
- 5:29Speaker 1: into that classroom and be able to monitor your kid
- 5:32Speaker 1: in that classroom? There are cameras, by the way, and people,
- 5:35Speaker 1: there's all these privacy people that say, well, there's privacy, this,
- 5:38Speaker 1: privacy that, And I understand privacy, and I'm an advocate
- 5:40Speaker 1: for privacy, but let's be very honest, I should have
- 5:43Speaker 1: the right to see what they're teaching my kid, and
- 5:45Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that hard for me to see it
- 5:48Speaker 1: or to hear it because I know the teachers lie,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and I know the teachers unionize. I know they lie
- 5:53Speaker 1: about the curriculum, and I know they lie about critical
- 5:55Speaker 1: race theory, and I know they lie about politics, and
- 5:57Speaker 1: I know they lie about about students that have been
- 5:59Speaker 1: bullied because they are conservative. And if we really want
- 6:03Speaker 1: transparency in the classroom, then this is I would argue,
- 6:07Speaker 1: how we get that transparency. This is what we do
- 6:11Speaker 1: if we want transparency. And if you're genuinely teaching a
- 6:16Speaker 1: kid reading, writing, an arithmetic, history, math, all of these things,
- 6:23Speaker 1: then as a teacher, you should care less if there
- 6:27Speaker 1: is a camera in the classroom. In fact, I would
- 6:30Speaker 1: even make it go a step further in this argument.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Right now, if it's all about privacy and it's all
- 6:37Speaker 1: about you know, concealing the students, then how are we
- 6:40Speaker 1: doing distance learning the way we're doing distance learning, because
- 6:42Speaker 1: any parent can take a video of any kid's screen,
- 6:46Speaker 1: or they can literally record a kid's class right now,
- 6:51Speaker 1: when we're doing distance learning and have been over the
- 6:53Speaker 1: over the last year, all over the country, like it's obvious,
- 6:58Speaker 1: it's very obvious, folks, it's a it's a it's abundantly
- 7:02Speaker 1: clear that this is. Anyone that's fighting against this, you
- 7:06Speaker 1: have to ask the question, why why are they fighting
- 7:08Speaker 1: against it? What is the point of fighting against it.
- 7:12Speaker 1: You're doing it right now in a way that clearly
- 7:14Speaker 1: has been done for quite some time. The idea that
- 7:19Speaker 1: you got to blur out the kids. They're not blurring
- 7:21Speaker 1: out faces when they have the classes that are social
- 7:24Speaker 1: right now. No one was arguing over this. No one
- 7:27Speaker 1: was fighting over this. Now they are. We should have
- 7:32Speaker 1: transparency in the classroom. We should be able to see
- 7:35Speaker 1: what the teachers are teaching, and you shouldn't have to
- 7:38Speaker 1: jump through a bunch of few hoops to actually see it.
- 7:40Speaker 1: They're all school districts to complete and vote on whether
- 7:43Speaker 1: to implement classroom cameras by January first, twenty twenty three.
- 7:48Speaker 1: The bill was just filed this week, so it has
- 7:50Speaker 1: not yet been heard by committee. That could happen as
- 7:53Speaker 1: soon as the legislative session starts, which will begin January eleventh. Now,
- 8:01Speaker 1: I believe that every parent should be allowed to see
- 8:03Speaker 1: video and audio. I actually believe it should be streamed.
- 8:08Speaker 1: I don't think you should have to go in and
- 8:10Speaker 1: I don't think you have to you che have to
- 8:12Speaker 1: do any of this. Now in addition, they say it
- 8:15Speaker 1: would require teachers to wear these microphones. I think that's brilliant.
- 8:19Speaker 1: And if they don't like it, then again, go back
- 8:22Speaker 1: to the teachers unions and say, you're the ones that
- 8:24Speaker 1: allowed for microphone and videos to be staring at a
- 8:26Speaker 1: teacher's face all day long while she was teaching kids,
- 8:28Speaker 1: because you guys shut down the schools. They all say,
- 8:33Speaker 1: it would permit parents to review video of incidents. Why
- 8:36Speaker 1: should it just be incidents. Why shouldn't it be what
- 8:39Speaker 1: they're teaching their kids or maybe what they're not teaching
- 8:41Speaker 1: their kids, Because it's not for me about the instance,
- 8:45Speaker 1: it's about the transparency. For me, it's about what are
- 8:50Speaker 1: you teaching my kids or maybe better way of putting us,
- 8:52Speaker 1: what are you indoctrinating our kids with. I don't want
- 8:56Speaker 1: to see an incident there's a fight. I mean I do, yes,
- 8:59Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I want to see what
- 9:01Speaker 1: you're actually telling my kids. I want to see what
- 9:04Speaker 1: you're if they're learning. I want to see how the
- 9:07Speaker 1: teacher acts when no one else is around. I think
- 9:10Speaker 1: this is an amazing idea. Now they say, well, this
- 9:12Speaker 1: is helicopter parents, and then you're gonna have parents that
- 9:14Speaker 1: are too involved. You gonna have parents constantly questioning teachers
- 9:18Speaker 1: and nagging teachers, and you're gonna have parents are gonna say, see,
- 9:20Speaker 1: you're not teaching my kid, you're not giving my kid
- 9:23Speaker 1: the attention they deserve with all due respect, just being
- 9:26Speaker 1: totally honest. Here in the public schools, that's usually not
- 9:30Speaker 1: the problem. The problem is usually parents totally uninvolved in
- 9:33Speaker 1: their kids' lives. Now, the real problem we have in
- 9:38Speaker 1: this country is that usually parents are totally uninvolved in
- 9:43Speaker 1: their kids' lives in the public school I argue that,
- 9:47Speaker 1: if anything, if you put these cameras in kids classrooms,
- 9:52Speaker 1: you might actually have parents that are uninvolved in their
- 9:55Speaker 1: kids education start to become involved in their kids education.
- 10:02Speaker 1: They may realize just how broken their failing schools are.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Because it's one thing to read a stat it's another
- 10:08Speaker 1: thing to understand it and to believe it. I'll equate
- 10:11Speaker 1: this real quick with your bank account. Are you really
- 10:14Speaker 1: broke until you pull out your debit card and it
- 10:16Speaker 1: doesn't work a lot of people don't realize they're broken.
- 10:20Speaker 1: They don't have that oh my gosh, freak out moment
- 10:24Speaker 1: until they get declined, that's when that moment usually happens. Usually,
- 10:30Speaker 1: that's that second in time where that you know what
- 10:33Speaker 1: hits the fan and people actually freak out. That's when
- 10:38Speaker 1: people literally usually lose their minds, and they lose their
- 10:43Speaker 1: minds because that's the moment that they had not planned
- 10:48Speaker 1: whatever happened. They've been close to rock bottom before, but
- 10:52Speaker 1: never had they actually had that moment happened. Same thing
- 10:57Speaker 1: can happen with parents and watching what's happening in their
- 10:59Speaker 1: kids as room. They may not realize how bad it
- 11:02Speaker 1: is until they actually see how bad it is till
- 11:05Speaker 1: they witness it firsthand. And if parents get more involved
- 11:08Speaker 1: because of that, then great, that's not a bad thing.
- 11:14Speaker 1: That's a good thing. And if the teachers, unions, and
- 11:18Speaker 1: parents are afraid of parents' involvement in their kids' schools
- 11:24Speaker 1: to the point where they're willing to fight this, then
- 11:26Speaker 1: imagine what you're not seeing or imagine what they don't
- 11:29Speaker 1: want you to see. Transparency, especially with children, right now,
- 11:35Speaker 1: I would argue as more important than it's ever been. Unfortunately,
- 11:38Speaker 1: le you live in a really, really tough society. We
- 11:42Speaker 1: live in a world right now where there's so much
- 11:46Speaker 1: transparency and everything you do, except in the most important areas,
- 11:49Speaker 1: specifically when it comes to children, I think there should
- 11:53Speaker 1: be putting cameras basically everywhere, childcare centers, after school care centers.
- 11:58Speaker 1: I think they should be doing this in private schools.
- 12:02Speaker 1: I think this is something that people should be able
- 12:03Speaker 1: to see because not only would it help you as
- 12:07Speaker 1: a parent, parent your child, I would argue, have a
- 12:10Speaker 1: big camera on the classroom so you can see if
- 12:12Speaker 1: your kid's not paying attention right it, see if your
- 12:16Speaker 1: kid's sleeping in class, see if your kid's not taking notes.
- 12:21Speaker 1: In a private school, oh, I would love this. I
- 12:24Speaker 1: would love it because if my son comes home like, oh,
- 12:27Speaker 1: the teacher's not teaching well and I don't understand the subject,
- 12:30Speaker 1: I can go look at the tape, and I can
- 12:31Speaker 1: go see if my kids actually even trying. Imagine the
- 12:35Speaker 1: amount of bass you can get rid of. And for parents,
- 12:39Speaker 1: or excuse me, for teachers, I would assume you would
- 12:42Speaker 1: be in favor of this, not against it. And here's why,
- 12:45Speaker 1: because then you can tell parents, go look at the tape.
- 12:49Speaker 1: If you don't believe I'm doing a good job, go
- 12:50Speaker 1: look at your kid. If you don't want to believe
- 12:52Speaker 1: me when I tell your kids not paying attention, your kids,
- 12:54Speaker 1: not engage, your kids, not involved in the classroom. Go
- 12:57Speaker 1: look at the tape, Go look at everything, Look at
- 12:59Speaker 1: what I'm doing, and then look at your child's lack
- 13:02Speaker 1: of interaction, lack of care, lack of desire. Go look
- 13:07Speaker 1: at that and then talk to me. Go look in
- 13:12Speaker 1: that and then explain me. In fact, I would argue
- 13:15Speaker 1: it could be great for teachers to actually pull tape
- 13:19Speaker 1: and say, look, I'm worried about your kid, and here's why.
- 13:23Speaker 1: You can see that they're totally unengaged. They're not trying,
- 13:27Speaker 1: they're not getting involved, they're not involved in the class discussions.
- 13:31Speaker 1: They're completely disengaged. They're coasting. They don't care if you
- 13:37Speaker 1: can show that video for narcissisic parents who don't want
- 13:40Speaker 1: to believe their kids might not be perfect, right, because
- 13:42Speaker 1: there's too many parents. They believe their kids can do
- 13:44Speaker 1: no wrong and that their kids are perfect and their
- 13:47Speaker 1: kids always do everything right, and they and unfortunately, what
- 13:50Speaker 1: do they do. They blame other people for their problems.
- 13:54Speaker 1: They blame the private schools, they blame the teachers, They
- 13:56Speaker 1: blame everything on somebody else. And a lot of the
- 13:59Speaker 1: kids know also how to manipulate their parents in school.
- 14:05Speaker 1: I think this could make a lot of that go away.
- 14:09Speaker 1: So if you're against this, I gotta wonder why. If
- 14:13Speaker 1: you're the teachers union, I get why you're against this.
- 14:16Speaker 1: This would mean that you would lose the ability to
- 14:18Speaker 1: indoctrinate children the way that you've been doing it. This
- 14:22Speaker 1: would mean that your curriculum would actually be monitored. The
- 14:26Speaker 1: indoctrination of children to become hard core leftists or those
- 14:30Speaker 1: that are anti America, that would be exposed on a
- 14:33Speaker 1: new level that we've never seen before. That for me
- 14:38Speaker 1: is good news. We should go back to just teaching
- 14:41Speaker 1: kids reading, writing, arithmetic. We should not be indoctrinating children.
- 14:45Speaker 1: We shouldn't be indoctrinating them to be conservative, and we
- 14:47Speaker 1: shouldn't be indoctrinating them to be liberal. I want to
- 14:49Speaker 1: make that very very clear. Schools should not be a
- 14:53Speaker 1: place of politics. In fact, schools, I would argue, should
- 14:55Speaker 1: be absent of politics if there's any And I don't
- 14:58Speaker 1: believe it's political. By the way, teach a kid to
- 15:00Speaker 1: have pride in his country. Some people now see that
- 15:03Speaker 1: as a political thing. I don't. I don't think the
- 15:06Speaker 1: pledge of allegiance is political. I don't think loving America
- 15:08Speaker 1: is political, and I don't think we should be raising
- 15:11Speaker 1: a group of society that should be ashamed of being
- 15:14Speaker 1: an American, or embarrassed of America, or feel like America
- 15:17Speaker 1: is the worst country in the world. And we would
- 15:20Speaker 1: get to see some of that. We would get to
- 15:23Speaker 1: see just how corrupt and just how political the classrooms are.
- 15:31Speaker 1: So I go back to what I said earlier. If
- 15:34Speaker 1: you are a parent and you are hearing this today,
- 15:38Speaker 1: and you like this idea, and I hope that you do,
- 15:41Speaker 1: it's an idea that I think most people should be
- 15:43Speaker 1: really excited about it. If you like this idea, if
- 15:47Speaker 1: you support the idea of transparency, then don't just nod
- 15:55Speaker 1: your head and agree with me. This is one of
- 15:57Speaker 1: those moments where you can have a real impact on
- 16:00Speaker 1: your children's education and their future. What you should do
- 16:06Speaker 1: is you should advocate for transparency. You should call your
- 16:10Speaker 1: state rep. You should call your state senator, and you
- 16:15Speaker 1: should advocate for the bill that they're doing that's just
- 16:18Speaker 1: been introducing Florida. This shouldn't just be a Florida thing.
- 16:23Speaker 1: When other states do things that are really brilliant and smart.
- 16:26Speaker 1: We need to make sure everybody else that doesn't live
- 16:29Speaker 1: in Florida sees it and hears it and understands it
- 16:31Speaker 1: and knows how to move forward with it. That's what
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm advocating for. This could fundamentally change public school education
- 16:39Speaker 1: in this country. It could fundamentally change a broken system
- 16:43Speaker 1: where there are so many kids that are being failed
- 16:46Speaker 1: right now in failing schools. This could change it in
- 16:49Speaker 1: a major way. That's why I saw this story and
- 16:55Speaker 1: I want to take time to advocate for it and
- 16:59Speaker 1: to tell you how we need to move forward and
- 17:00Speaker 1: how we need to support it. And this is how
- 17:02Speaker 1: we do it, all right, I want to switch gears
- 17:06Speaker 1: to the other story that I told you that I
- 17:08Speaker 1: wanted to make sure I hit today, and it deals
- 17:10Speaker 1: with the economy. There is shocking new news out right
- 17:14Speaker 1: now that the majority of Americans in this country, for
- 17:18Speaker 1: the first time in my lifetime, which is forty years,
- 17:22Speaker 1: cannot afford to even buy a used car. The average
- 17:27Speaker 1: new vehicle Edmunds dot Com says is edging towards fifty
- 17:31Speaker 1: thousand dollars tax, title and all the fees forty six
- 17:34Speaker 1: thousand if you take all that out. Even so price
- 17:37Speaker 1: of used cars are like it edge closer to new ones.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Since the pandemic started, use vehicle prices have now jumped
- 17:43Speaker 1: forty two percent, more than double the increase for new ones.
- 17:48Speaker 1: Last month, the average use vehicle price was sixty three
- 17:52Speaker 1: percent of the average new vehicle costs. For the pandemic,
- 17:57Speaker 1: it was fifty four percent. At this point point, dealers
- 18:00Speaker 1: say they look the lower income buyers. There's very few
- 18:05Speaker 1: vehicles for them to even look at. What used to
- 18:08Speaker 1: be a five thousand dollar car is now an eight
- 18:10Speaker 1: thousand dollar car. Our car's eleven thousand or twelve thousand
- 18:13Speaker 1: dollar car. You include taxes, fees, a ten percent down payment,
- 18:18Speaker 1: and an interest rate of around seven point five percent.
- 18:21Speaker 1: The average US vehicle now costs five hundred and twenty
- 18:24Speaker 1: dollars a month, even when financed for the average of
- 18:27Speaker 1: nearly six years. Edmonds has just reported, Oh, but the
- 18:31Speaker 1: economy is doing fine. Don't worry America. Nothing's wrong. Everything's great.
- 18:36Speaker 1: The White House said so, and the media propagandas put
- 18:38Speaker 1: it out there. To make the payment. To make that
- 18:42Speaker 1: payment and afford such other necessities as housing, food, and utilities,
- 18:45Speaker 1: a household would have to take calm about sixty thousand
- 18:49Speaker 1: dollars a year, or seventy five thousand dollars before taxes.
- 18:54Speaker 1: That's what Kimberly Palmer, a personal finance specialist at nerd Wallet, said.
- 18:58Speaker 1: In twenty twenty, the US median pre tax household income
- 19:02Speaker 1: was sixty seven thousand. Census Bureau says. Quote the average person,
- 19:06Speaker 1: Palmer said, can't afford the average use car right now. Okay,
- 19:11Speaker 1: somebody in the media, do your damn job and ask
- 19:13Speaker 1: the question of Joe Biden or his press secretary Jensaki.
- 19:18Speaker 1: Quote the average person can't afford the average used car. Now,
- 19:21Speaker 1: knew used car? Right now? How is the economy in
- 19:24Speaker 1: great shape? If that's the reality, it's the first time,
- 19:27Speaker 1: by the way, in my entire lifetime the data has
- 19:29Speaker 1: shown that to be true. And I'm forty. I've in Drury,
- 19:34Speaker 1: a senior manager at Edmond, said that while he doesn't
- 19:37Speaker 1: track use vehicle prices relative to home household income, he
- 19:41Speaker 1: thinks November marked a record in the worst way possible
- 19:44Speaker 1: for quote affordability. Monthly payments for average use vehicles, he noted,
- 19:49Speaker 1: were four hundred and thirteen dollars two years ago, three
- 19:53Speaker 1: hundred and fifty and she excuse me, three hundred and
- 19:55Speaker 1: eighty two dollars five years ago and three hundred and
- 19:59Speaker 1: sixty five dollars a decade ago. Now think about that.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Ten years ago the average monthly payment for used car
- 20:05Speaker 1: was three hundred sixty five dollars. That was a decade ago.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Just five years ago, that number had only gone up
- 20:13Speaker 1: eighteen dollars, no, sixteen dollars, excuse me, So in a
- 20:18Speaker 1: five year period, the average used car monthly payment had
- 20:21Speaker 1: gone up sixteen bucks. The November average payment of five
- 20:27Speaker 1: hundred dollars plus for a used vehicle is a new average.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Put that in perspective. How bad it is. Five hundred
- 20:36Speaker 1: dollars was the average car payment needed five years ago
- 20:40Speaker 1: for a brand new vehicle. Quote. People are going to
- 20:45Speaker 1: have to make hard decisions, maybe cut back in other areas,
- 20:48Speaker 1: Palmer said. It means that it's stressful time for a
- 20:51Speaker 1: lot of families, hard working families right now. Use vehicle
- 20:55Speaker 1: price are so high that Carl Hogan of Can's Cannon's Burg, Pennsylvania,
- 21:00Speaker 1: near Pittsburgh, was able last month to quickly sell his
- 21:04Speaker 1: two thousand and seven Tilly Tacoma, a small pickup truck
- 21:07Speaker 1: with more than thousand miles on it. Even with the
- 21:10Speaker 1: vehicle's age and mileage. A man from Ohio forked over
- 21:15Speaker 1: six thousand, five hundred dollars for it. Hogan didn't have
- 21:19Speaker 1: to budge from the asking price. When some would be
- 21:23Speaker 1: buyers offered him less money, he told them, I've got
- 21:25Speaker 1: twelve other guys behind you. A week before the sale,
- 21:29Speaker 1: he bought a new Tacoma. Hogan had been on the
- 21:31Speaker 1: other side of the equation. The dealer wouldn't budge from
- 21:34Speaker 1: the thirty eight thousand dollars sticker price quote. If I
- 21:38Speaker 1: didn't take it. There were three people waiting. I couldn't
- 21:41Speaker 1: get any off, but I wanted a new truck. David Paris,
- 21:45Speaker 1: senior manager at JADI Power, noted that the used vehicle
- 21:49Speaker 1: prices are directly tied to the cost of new ones,
- 21:52Speaker 1: though some automakers report the computer chips supply is gradually improving,
- 21:56Speaker 1: prices paid by dealers at use vehicle auctions kept a
- 21:59Speaker 1: rise through November. We've not seen any softening in prices,
- 22:04Speaker 1: which is extremely rare for this time of year. He said.
- 22:07Speaker 1: New vehicle dealers have about one one million vehicles available nationwide.
- 22:13Speaker 1: That's about one third of the normal supply chain. The
- 22:15Speaker 1: vast majority have already been sold. Given pin up demand
- 22:19Speaker 1: from consumer, prices for nuhicles are expected to remain historically
- 22:23Speaker 1: high until the supply returns to around two million to
- 22:27Speaker 1: two point five million, and automakers resumed discounting, which could
- 22:31Speaker 1: which could take us well into twenty twenty three one
- 22:35Speaker 1: new vehicle. Once new vehicle prices at least stop increasing,
- 22:40Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're even going to come down, by the way,
- 22:43Speaker 1: they say, by twenty twenty four. They do believe US
- 22:46Speaker 1: vehicle prices could eventually follow, so two years from any
- 22:50Speaker 1: relief from this, and even after that, the availability vehicles
- 22:54Speaker 1: will be tight, they say, because the traditional sources of
- 22:56Speaker 1: use vehicles autos turned in from least and trade ins
- 23:01Speaker 1: or sold by rental companies have essentially dried up altogether
- 23:05Speaker 1: for the past decade. Cars returning from two and three
- 23:09Speaker 1: year leases or a leading source of almost all new
- 23:13Speaker 1: used vehicles hitting the market. But that was when more
- 23:17Speaker 1: than one third of US new vehicles sales were actually leases,
- 23:21Speaker 1: a new figure now down to twenty two percent, said Edmonds.
- 23:27Speaker 1: Because there aren't any or excuse me, because there aren't
- 23:30Speaker 1: many new autos people are expiring with expiring leases are
- 23:34Speaker 1: often buying those cars once their leases in because they
- 23:37Speaker 1: can't get a new one. Rental companies, another key source
- 23:40Speaker 1: of late model used cars, can't buy new ones now
- 23:43Speaker 1: and are holding the ones they have for longer. Summernal
- 23:45Speaker 1: companies are even buying used vehicles now for the first
- 23:48Speaker 1: time in decades. Given all those factors, Pairs expects the
- 23:52Speaker 1: storage of use cars to worsen through twenty twenty four.
- 23:57Speaker 1: Let me say that again. Given all those factors, the
- 24:00Speaker 1: shortage of use vehicles they believe will worsen through twenty
- 24:04Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty twenty three, and through twenty twenty four
- 24:09Speaker 1: three years. Among the few consumers who stand up benefit
- 24:14Speaker 1: are those who want to sell a use car and
- 24:17Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to replace it. The average trade in
- 24:19Speaker 1: October Pair said was nine thousand dollars, twice what it
- 24:23Speaker 1: was a year earlier, twice what it was a year earlier.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But for people who have no vehicles to trade in
- 24:33Speaker 1: and only modest incomes, the options are few to none.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Palmer said. Lower income people may simply have to pay
- 24:41Speaker 1: for repairs to keep a current vehicle running as long
- 24:43Speaker 1: as possible, even That option, though, can become expensive. JD.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Power said that many can't afford it. Many buyers, they're
- 24:56Speaker 1: actually now telling you should probably look past a use car,
- 24:58Speaker 1: just go straight for a new one if you can
- 25:00Speaker 1: afford it. One man said he recently managed to get
- 25:05Speaker 1: a couple of thousand dollars whacked off the sticker price
- 25:07Speaker 1: on a new Ram pickup, though he had to travel
- 25:10Speaker 1: from washing in DC area to Philadelphia to reach a
- 25:12Speaker 1: willing dealer he had located by searching internet forums. If
- 25:17Speaker 1: you look hard enough and are willing to wait and travel,
- 25:19Speaker 1: you can find deals across most brands. But if you
- 25:22Speaker 1: want instant gratification in your market, good luck. Twenty nine
- 25:26Speaker 1: thousand dollars for an average used car now in America
- 25:29Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars for an average new car in America.
- 25:34Speaker 1: But the economy's fine, the White House said, no problems
- 25:36Speaker 1: with the economy. Everything's perfect. The average medium income household
- 25:43Speaker 1: family cannot afford a used car right now because of inflation.
- 25:49Speaker 1: Say it again, cannot afford cannot afford a used car?
- 25:56Speaker 1: What is new? What is a new car cost? Or
- 26:00Speaker 1: now it's even more shocking. Fifty thousands the average for
- 26:06Speaker 1: a new car right now. But remember, everything is totally fine. Okay,
- 26:14Speaker 1: you have nothing to worry about. Everything's good, folks. There
- 26:19Speaker 1: are no problems in the economy. Things are amazing. If
- 26:23Speaker 1: you don't believe me, I have proof how great things are.
- 26:28Speaker 1: And things are incredible. Propaganda headline News, HLN, CNN. They
- 26:36Speaker 1: put out this talking about how amazing the economy is
- 26:41Speaker 1: right now. It's booming, folks. Everything is fine. Yes, if
- 26:44Speaker 1: you made fifty thousand last year, it's worth about forty
- 26:46Speaker 1: four thousand now. And buying power yes. And the majority
- 26:49Speaker 1: of Americans now for the first time a lifetime, can't
- 26:51Speaker 1: afford a used car. But everything's fine because we put
- 26:54Speaker 1: out the propaganda of the government. Oh really good for
- 26:58Speaker 1: your money, Jen, I'm gonna say, it depends on who
- 27:00Speaker 1: you ask, right well, overall, I mean, the economy did amazing.
- 27:05Speaker 1: As we wrap up, twas amazing. I love this. Even
- 27:08Speaker 1: the host is like introducing their money expert because she
- 27:12Speaker 1: knows what they're going to try to sell you on
- 27:13Speaker 1: real quick. Even the host is like, the economy is
- 27:18Speaker 1: doing amazing, and it depends on who you ask. It
- 27:23Speaker 1: really depends on who you ask. And then you hear
- 27:28Speaker 1: the chuckle. That's like, okay, I've said it, so I
- 27:31Speaker 1: don't look like a moron before she tells you and
- 27:33Speaker 1: gives you all this propaganda. Right, Like, I've done my part.
- 27:37Speaker 1: I'm going to get out of the way. Now Here
- 27:39Speaker 1: is the Biden liberal propaganda. We are nothing but state
- 27:43Speaker 1: sponsored media, and I'm going to tell you how amazing
- 27:45Speaker 1: things are. The economy is on fire. Oh overall. I
- 27:48Speaker 1: mean the economy did amazing as we wrap up twenty
- 27:51Speaker 1: twenty one, year two of the pandemic. I mean the
- 27:53Speaker 1: economy for the most part was on fire. The job
- 27:56Speaker 1: market is at its strongest levels in decades. I love this,
- 28:00Speaker 1: by the way, the job markets at its strongest level
- 28:03Speaker 1: in decades. So let's be clear what that means. There
- 28:06Speaker 1: are millions and millions of people that our businesses and
- 28:10Speaker 1: small businesses that desperately need work. Right, the desperately need
- 28:17Speaker 1: work workers can't find them, so that means that things
- 28:22Speaker 1: are good way through the roof. People can't even fire
- 28:25Speaker 1: bad employees. People are having to close down certain days
- 28:29Speaker 1: because they can't find enough employees to even operate. People
- 28:32Speaker 1: have had to change the hours in which they open
- 28:34Speaker 1: and Hamburg a week small businesses are failing at a
- 28:37Speaker 1: rate that we haven't seen in decades. But you want
- 28:40Speaker 1: me to believe that things are amazing, and they're gonna
- 28:42Speaker 1: tell you, Oh, it's because we added some jobs. We
- 28:45Speaker 1: had six point one million jobs. Well, we did, but
- 28:47Speaker 1: how many jobs are still left unfilled because of an
- 28:50Speaker 1: economy that's been destroyed by the federal government giving people
- 28:53Speaker 1: money and making them lazy. Twenty twenty one, six point
- 28:57Speaker 1: one million jobs were created. That's the just amount of
- 29:00Speaker 1: jobs going all the way back to nineteen forty and
- 29:04Speaker 1: we're not even counting December yet. We don't have the
- 29:06Speaker 1: numbers in for that part. The American Rescue Plan cut
- 29:09Speaker 1: child poverty in half by fifty percent, and it was
- 29:14Speaker 1: just as juicy on Wall Street and in corporate boardrooms.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Stock market measured by the SMP five hundred up nearly
- 29:20Speaker 1: thirty percent for this year. Corporate profits at their best
- 29:24Speaker 1: since nineteen fifty. So despite the pandemic, it's been quite amazing.
- 29:29Speaker 1: And holiday shopping sales up eight and a half percent
- 29:32Speaker 1: as people tried to get back to a sense of
- 29:34Speaker 1: holiday normalcy. Now there have been some higher prices. You
- 29:37Speaker 1: see them for basics like food, shelter, and gas, and
- 29:41Speaker 1: I love this. Now there have been some higher price
- 29:42Speaker 1: like food, shelter and gas, basically everything you need to survive.
- 29:46Speaker 1: But we're going to quickly booth past that. I'm going
- 29:49Speaker 1: to tell you that everything's fine. But the cost of
- 29:51Speaker 1: good for the basics of food, shelter, and the sense,
- 29:54Speaker 1: they've skyrocketed. But don't worry. Everything's fine, folks. How many
- 29:59Speaker 1: of you can have forty used car right now? Less
- 30:00Speaker 1: than half of Americans can afford a used car right now.
- 30:03Speaker 1: But everything's fine, folks. Everything is a okay. You don't
- 30:07Speaker 1: need to worry. We got this. Everything is super Everything
- 30:11Speaker 1: is great. Everybody should be excited because everything's good. You
- 30:15Speaker 1: have nothing to worry about. Everything's fine, there are no issues.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Our economy is wonderful, our economy is amazing. Everything is perfect,
- 30:22Speaker 1: and our economy is perfect, and you don't need to worry.
- 30:24Speaker 1: There's nothing to worry about. Granted, food and shelter and
- 30:27Speaker 1: water and those things, yeah they kind of suck, but
- 30:29Speaker 1: everything else is good. Research firm I RII predicts as
- 30:32Speaker 1: another five percent just in the first six months of
- 30:34Speaker 1: the new year for items like mac and cheese and
- 30:37Speaker 1: steak and potatoes, chicken breasts, and wine. But costs are
- 30:41Speaker 1: going up too, so that's part of the reason. Now,
- 30:44Speaker 1: but costs are going up too, so that's part of
- 30:46Speaker 1: the reason. So you just told me that you're dealing
- 30:48Speaker 1: with massive inflation without saying the word inflation. This is
- 30:52Speaker 1: what state sponsored media sounds like. This is nothing but
- 30:56Speaker 1: propaganda from HLN Headline News owned by CNN, owned by
- 31:00Speaker 1: AT and T. That is what this is. Okay, that
- 31:06Speaker 1: is what this is. That's all it is, folks. Economists
- 31:14Speaker 1: say that the wild card for twenty twenty two is
- 31:16Speaker 1: going to be this new omicron variant that fast spread
- 31:19Speaker 1: has led to the partial shutdown of the New York
- 31:21Speaker 1: City Subway, Cincinnati's mayor declaring a state of emergency because
- 31:25Speaker 1: firefighters are sick, and thousands of canceled flights. As you
- 31:29Speaker 1: know now, Jet Blue says they're going to preemptively cancel
- 31:34Speaker 1: thirteen hundred flights in just the next two weeks. That's
- 31:38Speaker 1: only ten percent of their schedule because they are expecting
- 31:41Speaker 1: so many of their workers to call out sick. They
- 31:44Speaker 1: said that this week has been one of the worst
- 31:47Speaker 1: weeks of the entire pandemic. We know so many airlines
- 31:50Speaker 1: have been hit with all these cancelations. It's been pretty
- 31:53Speaker 1: miserable for travelers too. But Cheyenne, despite omicron throwing things
- 31:57Speaker 1: into disarray at the very end of the year, overall
- 32:00Speaker 1: it was gangbusters. Overall, it's gangbusters. I know a lot
- 32:04Speaker 1: of you are suffering, but overall, we're gonna tell you
- 32:06Speaker 1: it's gangbusters, because that's what we're gonna tell you it is.
- 32:10Speaker 1: There is a question that we all should ask, and
- 32:14Speaker 1: when you feel like you're losing and you feel like
- 32:16Speaker 1: the other side is winning, and I'm talking about Democrats
- 32:20Speaker 1: turning this country into the opposite of what our founding
- 32:24Speaker 1: fathers wanted to be. When you see tyrants like Joe
- 32:27Speaker 1: Biden doing what they're doing, when you see governors doing
- 32:30Speaker 1: mass mandates, vaccine mandates, worker mandates, the way that we're
- 32:33Speaker 1: seeing across the country, you start to feel defeated. Don't
- 32:39Speaker 1: We're winning? How do I know it? There's an annual
- 32:43Speaker 1: moving survey that just came out and it is the
- 32:45Speaker 1: most shocking I have ever seen. And I've been paying
- 32:48Speaker 1: attention to these annual moving surveys for at least the
- 32:52Speaker 1: last ten twelve years. The top five outbound states where
- 32:57Speaker 1: people are just saying I'm packing up now. I want
- 33:00Speaker 1: you to really think about how bad things have to
- 33:02Speaker 1: be for you to look at your family and to
- 33:05Speaker 1: say they're going to literally pack up every belonging and
- 33:09Speaker 1: sell everything else that can't be moved, and we are
- 33:12Speaker 1: leaving this state because it's gotten so bad. Think about
- 33:17Speaker 1: where you have to be. There's a lot of people
- 33:19Speaker 1: that they like their little bubble, their neighborhood, their friends,
- 33:23Speaker 1: their kids, friends, their school, their churches, their community. You'll
- 33:29Speaker 1: take a lot of craft from the government, you'll pay
- 33:31Speaker 1: higher taxes, you'll live in a nice house in a
- 33:35Speaker 1: failing school district, and you'll even spend more money to
- 33:37Speaker 1: put your kids in private school because you like the
- 33:39Speaker 1: area you live. But there's a certain point that every
- 33:43Speaker 1: I would argue man and woman has. It's called a
- 33:45Speaker 1: breaking point, and it's when your government just oversteps to
- 33:49Speaker 1: the point where you can't take it any longer. And
- 33:53Speaker 1: the top five outbound states where people are leaving the
- 33:55Speaker 1: most are all run by Democrats. Yeah, top five, so
- 34:00Speaker 1: the highest amount of outbound migration in twenty twenty one
- 34:03Speaker 1: were governed by democratic politicians. According to the United Vans
- 34:08Speaker 1: Lines Annual movers study. The primary reason for individuals fleeing
- 34:15Speaker 1: these states included cost, lifestyle, family, and job. The state
- 34:20Speaker 1: with the highest sumber of outbound migrants last year was
- 34:23Speaker 1: New Jersey. Of those involved in moves, seventy percent fled
- 34:28Speaker 1: New Jersey compared to just thirty percent who moved in
- 34:32Speaker 1: some major difference in New York. Post is also reporting
- 34:34Speaker 1: that six of the top ten metro areas suffering from
- 34:38Speaker 1: the worst exus were in New York New Jersey. That region.
- 34:41Speaker 1: I'll have that breakdown for you in a moment. In
- 34:44Speaker 1: second place as a state came Illinois, which saw sixty
- 34:48Speaker 1: seven point two percent of people involved in moving leaving
- 34:51Speaker 1: the state. Just thirty two point eight percent of movers
- 34:55Speaker 1: became new residents of Illinois in twenty twenty one. Number three.
- 35:01Speaker 1: New York it was third and outbound migrants now. The
- 35:04Speaker 1: reason why it was number three is because the year
- 35:06Speaker 1: before they were so many people moved out because of
- 35:09Speaker 1: the extreme lockdowns that they had in New York. They're
- 35:12Speaker 1: still in the top three and very close to being
- 35:15Speaker 1: number two. Was sixty three percent of movers fleeing the
- 35:18Speaker 1: Empire state compared to just thirty seven percent moving in
- 35:21Speaker 1: The leading reason for escaping New York was quote family,
- 35:26Speaker 1: with nearly thirty percent of outbound movers citing that reason. Additionally,
- 35:30Speaker 1: the survey revealed the highest earners left the state in masses,
- 35:34Speaker 1: so they're losing their most stable taxpayers. Of those who
- 35:39Speaker 1: made one hundred and fifty thousand or more, forty three
- 35:41Speaker 1: point five percent fled the highly taxed state. Fourth in
- 35:45Speaker 1: line was Connecticut, also run by Democrats. They saw sixty
- 35:51Speaker 1: percent of movers flee to state and just forty percent incoming.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Those fleeing Connecticut sided retirement as the primary reason for leaving,
- 35:58Speaker 1: with thirty three percent of movers that saying, look, I'm
- 36:01Speaker 1: out of here. I've retired to make my money. I'm
- 36:03Speaker 1: gone from many people in Connecticut. Where do they commute?
- 36:05Speaker 1: To New York. Being off the top five outbound states
- 36:10Speaker 1: was Governor Gavin Newsom of California, which had very similar
- 36:14Speaker 1: numbers as Connecticut. Close to sixty percent of movers in
- 36:17Speaker 1: California side these state as well being exit moves, while
- 36:22Speaker 1: only forty percent moved in. An Almost equal amount of
- 36:26Speaker 1: Californians who fled the state sided cost, taxes and lifestyle,
- 36:30Speaker 1: with nearly twenty two percent of outbound movers, citing both
- 36:33Speaker 1: reasons as why they said, we've had enough now. As
- 36:36Speaker 1: Americans fled the Blue States amid increasing mandates and power
- 36:40Speaker 1: hungry municipalities, they have where do they go? Many of
- 36:45Speaker 1: them escaped to rural and less densely populated states. Republican
- 36:51Speaker 1: led states like Vermont, South Dakota, South Carolina, West Virginia,
- 36:56Speaker 1: and Florida made up the top five inbound states in
- 36:59Speaker 1: that order. People went to the extreme opposites of what
- 37:04Speaker 1: they had. Think about Vermont, think about South Dakota. Those
- 37:09Speaker 1: are the top two states and a massive incoming number
- 37:13Speaker 1: of individuals families that were moving there because people said,
- 37:15Speaker 1: I want to be free. When you go to Vermont,
- 37:19Speaker 1: and when you go to South Dakota, you are seeking freedom.
- 37:23Speaker 1: You're saying, get off my lawn, right to the government.
- 37:28Speaker 1: South Dakota is a place where the government stays off
- 37:30Speaker 1: your lawn. Vermont is a place that stays off your lawn.
- 37:33Speaker 1: South Carolina and West Virginia are places that stay off
- 37:37Speaker 1: of your lawn. Florida, big state, densely populated, still in
- 37:44Speaker 1: the top five. Why because at least they have freedom
- 37:46Speaker 1: there and they don't try to tell you what to
- 37:49Speaker 1: do with your life now. When moving into these states,
- 37:52Speaker 1: residents often opted for less densely populated areas as well.
- 37:56Speaker 1: For example, instead of incoming Floridians moving to it's like
- 38:00Speaker 1: Orlando or Miami, they were choosing areas like Punta Gordon
- 38:04Speaker 1: or Sarah Soda Bradenton area less population, less densely populated area.
- 38:11Speaker 1: Punta gordons I saw eighty one percent and seventy nine
- 38:15Speaker 1: percent of movers coming in, respectively, meaning people said we
- 38:18Speaker 1: want to go to a place where they leave us
- 38:19Speaker 1: that you know what alone. According to economists and University
- 38:24Speaker 1: of California, Los Angeles professor Michael Stole, the new data
- 38:28Speaker 1: from United van Lines is indicated indicative excuse me of
- 38:33Speaker 1: COVID nineteen's impact on domestic migration patterns. Those that cracked
- 38:40Speaker 1: down and those that took away people's ability to make
- 38:42Speaker 1: a living and to make choices for themselves and had
- 38:44Speaker 1: mass mandates and business mandates and eating mandates and shut
- 38:48Speaker 1: down and lockdowns and all of these things. People said, eve,
- 38:52Speaker 1: I'm going to leave. With twenty twenty one, bringing an
- 38:56Speaker 1: acceleration of moves to smaller midsized towns and cities where
- 39:00Speaker 1: there is freedom. We're saying this not only occur because
- 39:04Speaker 1: of American's desire to leave high density areas, but due
- 39:09Speaker 1: to risk of infection, but also to the transformation of
- 39:14Speaker 1: how we're able to work with more flexibility to work remotely.
- 39:19Speaker 1: They also said there's another factor. People are just tired
- 39:22Speaker 1: of being told what they can and can't do. Now,
- 39:26Speaker 1: you go to United van Lines website and I encourage
- 39:29Speaker 1: you to do this. They have their annual twenty one
- 39:31Speaker 1: United van Lines National Movers Survey, and what you see
- 39:35Speaker 1: if you look at this is it's incredible just how
- 39:40Speaker 1: much people said I'm out, I'm out of the liberal places.
- 39:44Speaker 1: The annual study, which tracks the companies exclusive data for
- 39:47Speaker 1: customers state to state migration patterns, determine that Vermont was
- 39:51Speaker 1: a state with the highest percentage of inbound migration. It
- 39:54Speaker 1: also is the top of the list of states with freedom,
- 39:56Speaker 1: topping the list of outbound states New Jersey, which held
- 40:00Speaker 1: the spot for the past four years. Now, when you
- 40:04Speaker 1: talk about inbound, these numbers are incredible. South Dakota sixty
- 40:07Speaker 1: nine percent, inbound, South Carolina sixty three percent, inbound, West
- 40:11Speaker 1: Virginia sixty three percent. Four to sixt two percent. They
- 40:14Speaker 1: were revealed as the top inbound states for twenty twenty
- 40:17Speaker 1: one Illinois sixty seven percent outbound, New York sixty three
- 40:20Speaker 1: percent outbound, Connecticut six percent outbound, California fifty nine bound,
- 40:25Speaker 1: which have regularly appealed on the outbound top lists in
- 40:28Speaker 1: recent years, but this ranks among the highest excesses we've seen, that,
- 40:33Speaker 1: he went on to say. In addition to state by
- 40:36Speaker 1: state data, each year, United van Lines also conducts an
- 40:38Speaker 1: accompanying survey to examine the motivation and influences for American
- 40:43Speaker 1: interstate moves. This year, the survey revealed that thirty one
- 40:48Speaker 1: point eight percent of Americans who moved did so in
- 40:50Speaker 1: order to be close to family. Makes sense a new
- 40:53Speaker 1: trend coming out of the pandemic as priorities and lifestyle
- 40:57Speaker 1: choices have shifted. Another wh people said, why are we
- 41:00Speaker 1: living in this place without family. We were here for
- 41:02Speaker 1: the money, we were here for the whatever, and now
- 41:05Speaker 1: it's all disappeared with these COVID lockdowns, So let's go
- 41:08Speaker 1: back to our families. Thirty two point five percent of
- 41:11Speaker 1: Americans move for a new job or a job transfer.
- 41:14Speaker 1: It that's actually a very normal number. In fact, it's
- 41:17Speaker 1: a significant dig decrease from twenty fifteen, when more than
- 41:21Speaker 1: sixty percent of Americans cited a job or transfer. Now,
- 41:24Speaker 1: the new data indicates COVID nineteen's impact on domestic migration
- 41:28Speaker 1: patterns is significant. People said they want out the big cities,
- 41:32Speaker 1: and they want out of the government control and mandates.
- 41:40Speaker 1: People need freedom. And when you start taking away their freedom,
- 41:44Speaker 1: and you start taking away their right to make their decisions,
- 41:46Speaker 1: you start taking away their rights to run their business
- 41:50Speaker 1: the way that they need to do it. This is
- 41:52Speaker 1: what you see. And the fact that it's totally impacting
- 41:55Speaker 1: and changing domestic migration patterns tells you just how significant
- 42:00Speaker 1: it is to take your entire family and say I'm
- 42:02Speaker 1: not just moving out of city, I'm moving out of
- 42:04Speaker 1: the entire state. I'm done with this entire state. Quote.
- 42:11Speaker 1: We're saying this not only occurred because Americans desire to
- 42:13Speaker 1: leave high and see areas due to risk of infection,
- 42:16Speaker 1: but also do the transformation of how we're able to work.
- 42:21Speaker 1: What's more, amid the pandemic, many gen xers are retiring,
- 42:25Speaker 1: often at a younger age and past generations, joining the
- 42:28Speaker 1: baby boomer generation. While many are retiring to states like Florida.
- 42:31Speaker 1: United Van Line's data revealed they're not necessarily heading to
- 42:35Speaker 1: heavy populated cities like Orlando Miami. They're saying, get me
- 42:41Speaker 1: out of the big city. It's not just in Florida,
- 42:45Speaker 1: by the way. In Oregon, they're moving to random little places.
- 42:50Speaker 1: I'll give an example Medford, Ashland, Oregon eight of people
- 42:56Speaker 1: moving moving there, moving into town spring Field, se For
- 43:03Speaker 1: forty five years now, we have been looking at this data,
- 43:08Speaker 1: and for forty five years we've never seen anything like
- 43:10Speaker 1: what we're seeing now. The United Van Line says, with
- 43:13Speaker 1: their information, I'll go back to the top ten in
- 43:16Speaker 1: bound states of twenty twenty one. Vermont won South Dakota
- 43:19Speaker 1: to South Carolina three four, West Virginia, Florida number five,
- 43:23Speaker 1: Alabama number six, Tennessee number seven, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Western
- 43:32Speaker 1: and South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, all Republican states, Oregon
- 43:35Speaker 1: number eight, Idaho number nine, Rhode Island number ten Rhode Island.
- 43:38Speaker 1: Why is that so big? Because it's close enough to
- 43:40Speaker 1: other liberal cities and states around it that people said, fine,
- 43:43Speaker 1: we'll try that place. Moving out New Jersey liberal, Illinois liberal,
- 43:49Speaker 1: New York liberal Connecticut, liberal, California, liberal, Michigan, liberal, Massachusetts, liberal, Louisiana, interesting, liberal, Ohio, moderate,
- 44:00Speaker 1: Raska moderate. Several states saw nearly the same number of
- 44:04Speaker 1: residents moving inbound is outbound. Kentucky and Wyoming are among
- 44:08Speaker 1: these balanced states. Not that political in Wyoming, right, a
- 44:14Speaker 1: lot of freedom. Kentucky the same way. This is why
- 44:18Speaker 1: they're doing it now, let's go with democratic run. Not
- 44:22Speaker 1: just states saw fleeing residents, but we also saw a
- 44:25Speaker 1: lot of cities where there was massive retraction. For example, Chicago,
- 44:32Speaker 1: massive amount of people leaving Chicago. Seventy plus percent of
- 44:36Speaker 1: moves recorded were residents leaving Chicago as a city. Just
- 44:41Speaker 1: twenty seven percent were inbound. New York City, same thing.
- 44:47Speaker 1: Nearly thirty percent of those who fled the Empire state
- 44:49Speaker 1: said their primary focus was citing the cust of living
- 44:53Speaker 1: and crime. They said they're done. Six of the top
- 44:59Speaker 1: ten metro areas offering from the worst excess. We're in
- 45:01Speaker 1: New York New Jersey region. Why is that? Because people
- 45:05Speaker 1: said I can't take it any longer. Nearly eighty percent
- 45:10Speaker 1: of moves in Long Islands, Nasau, Suffolk Counties were exeters.
- 45:15Speaker 1: The highest outbound rate of any region in the country.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Seventy five fled Binghampton and seventy three percent exited Duchess
- 45:23Speaker 1: County three. New Ark included in that we're the worst
- 45:28Speaker 1: outbound rates. Neighboring Connecticut didn't fare much better, with seventy
- 45:34Speaker 1: and eighty percent of most moves in the areas where
- 45:37Speaker 1: most people would commute to New York from. Said we're out.
- 45:42Speaker 1: So I go back to what I said earlier. Are
- 45:44Speaker 1: we winning? Yes, we're winning in ways that you never
- 45:48Speaker 1: would have imagined. And when I say we're winning, I
- 45:51Speaker 1: want to again, I want to be very very clear
- 45:53Speaker 1: what I mean by we're winning. People are so fed
- 45:56Speaker 1: up with the tyranny of the government and the local
- 46:00Speaker 1: government and the state governments that they're just saying, I'm
- 46:03Speaker 1: willing to sell everything or move whatever is left and
- 46:06Speaker 1: get the hell out and go to freedom. That's what
- 46:09Speaker 1: they're doing. They're attacking conservatives and they're attacking freedom. You know.
- 46:18Speaker 1: NBC Today's Show did an entire segment this morning about
- 46:22Speaker 1: getting kids to wear in ninety five surgical masks, an
- 46:26Speaker 1: entire segment. This is why people are leaving. They're sick
- 46:29Speaker 1: of this type of crap. They go all the way
- 46:32Speaker 1: over your head. Not the most comfortable, but very very snug.
- 46:36Speaker 1: Not a lot of air is getting in between the
- 46:38Speaker 1: sides of my cheeks or the tops of my cheeks.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Vic the kids are back in the classroom, at least
- 46:43Speaker 1: the overwhelming majority of them. What's the recommendation for our
- 46:47Speaker 1: youngest learners? Okay, so we talked to doctor John Torres
- 46:52Speaker 1: about this, because I actually just sent my kids out
- 46:54Speaker 1: the door this morning minutes ago with two masks. He says,
- 46:58Speaker 1: Obviously the CAN ninety five are the most effective, but
- 47:01Speaker 1: it can be really hard to find them in small
- 47:03Speaker 1: kids sizes and also to keep them on your kids
- 47:05Speaker 1: all day. They're not the most comfortable. So the second
- 47:08Speaker 1: best option is to make sure you have a kid's
- 47:11Speaker 1: size surgical mask. And by the way, look at what
- 47:13Speaker 1: a difference the kid's size mask is from the adult size.
- 47:16Speaker 1: So you really want to make sure you have one
- 47:18Speaker 1: that fits your child's face, and you want to layer
- 47:21Speaker 1: the cloth mask over that mask. So the surgical mask
- 47:25Speaker 1: goes on first, and then the cloth mask. If you
- 47:27Speaker 1: can't do that surgical mask alone, doctor Torris says, least best,
- 47:32Speaker 1: but better than nothing, the two layer cotton mask that
- 47:34Speaker 1: fits your child. The best mask certainly is the one
- 47:36Speaker 1: that your child will wear and keep on the whole
- 47:38Speaker 1: day when they're in the classroom. All right, good advice,
- 47:40Speaker 1: all right, Vicky. So in other words, here's how you
- 47:42Speaker 1: put on an ninety five mask, but make sure you're
- 47:45Speaker 1: wearing they wear some sort of mask, because we're going
- 47:47Speaker 1: to indoctrinate them. People are tired of this, they're sick
- 47:53Speaker 1: of it. I'll give you another headline again, this is
- 47:56Speaker 1: why people are moving. NBC News didn't entire another story
- 48:00Speaker 1: this morning about quote, it's good at that California is
- 48:03Speaker 1: now mandating, starting now, and requiring big box toy stores
- 48:06Speaker 1: to have gender neutral sections. Now, the toy shelves in
- 48:10Speaker 1: California are about to change. A new state law is
- 48:13Speaker 1: forcing big toy stores to create gender neutral sections, which
- 48:17Speaker 1: advocates say will take pressure off kids to conform to stereotypes.
- 48:21Speaker 1: Critics say it's government overreach, but as NBC News technology
- 48:24Speaker 1: correspondent Shape Ward reports, the move could mean not just
- 48:27Speaker 1: to change to toys, but to kids. TV. If you've
- 48:32Speaker 1: been inside a big toy store, you know how it's
- 48:34Speaker 1: traditionally organized. A boy's aisle, a girl's aisle, right. The
- 48:38Speaker 1: new California law gives retailers with more than five hundred
- 48:41Speaker 1: employees two years to add a gender neutral section or
- 48:44Speaker 1: face big fines. This might seem like a silly piece
- 48:49Speaker 1: of typical California politics, but the truth is that big
- 48:52Speaker 1: box toy stores across the country have been in direction.
- 48:55Speaker 1: Both Walmart and Target have done away with gendered toy sections,
- 49:00Speaker 1: and experts say that's good because gendered toys shape how
- 49:03Speaker 1: children see themselves and each other. We learn, teaching them
- 49:08Speaker 1: to be separated, to be competitive, to be inhabiting very
- 49:12Speaker 1: different worlds. Companies looking to maximize sales tend to focus
- 49:16Speaker 1: on traditionally boy toys. Media studies professor Dafta Lemish says
- 49:20Speaker 1: the industry assumes girls will play with boy toys and
- 49:23Speaker 1: watch boy programs, but not vice versa, a destructive market force.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Girls are mature and stuff playing with toys and games
- 49:33Speaker 1: much earlier, so it's more again economical to produce more
- 49:36Speaker 1: action oriented toys that are kind of supporting the programs.
- 49:41Speaker 1: In children's television, the toymaking potential can even determine what
- 49:45Speaker 1: a show is about. Broadcasters look at the children's block
- 49:49Speaker 1: on television as a thirty minute commercial for a commercial
- 49:52Speaker 1: product that they want to sell, and because toys have
- 49:55Speaker 1: usually been gendered, TV producers who make gender neutral characters
- 50:00Speaker 1: might miss out on that money. Because of profit motives
- 50:03Speaker 1: that exist. Corporations and media companies are not going to
- 50:08Speaker 1: put that stuff out there on their own bias. X
- 50:11Speaker 1: would say it's been a terrible cycle. TV producers generally
- 50:15Speaker 1: had to feed into stereotypes in order to get toys
- 50:17Speaker 1: onto store shelves, and stores with gendered toys sections didn't
- 50:21Speaker 1: know where to put toys that weren't explicitly and stereotypically
- 50:25Speaker 1: masculine or feminine. That this is insanity. You want to
- 50:28Speaker 1: know why people are leaving, and this is why I
- 50:31Speaker 1: say we're winning. It may take a little bit longer
- 50:33Speaker 1: to win because you have to be so drastic you've
- 50:36Speaker 1: got to leave the state. But you want to know
- 50:38Speaker 1: why people are leaving California because of this type of propaganda.
- 50:41Speaker 1: You can't have toys sections now are are? They have
- 50:46Speaker 1: to be gender neutral in California. It's a mandate. We're
- 50:51Speaker 1: gonna start finding people if they don't comply. In this country,
- 50:59Speaker 1: we have earned to a system now that if you
- 51:02Speaker 1: don't comply. We either find you, we arrest you, or
- 51:08Speaker 1: we take away your rights, or we do a combination
- 51:11Speaker 1: of all these things. Depending on what state you live in,
- 51:16Speaker 1: things look a little bit different. There's a new fear.
- 51:20Speaker 1: And this new fear that I'm about to tell you
- 51:23Speaker 1: about is a new fear that is going to be used,
- 51:26Speaker 1: and it's a word that you're going to understand. It's
- 51:28Speaker 1: going to be household in common within a week, week
- 51:31Speaker 1: and a half, because the media is going to use this,
- 51:34Speaker 1: and politicians are going to use this to force you
- 51:37Speaker 1: to comply and to justify the way they're treating your
- 51:40Speaker 1: kids in the schools. The mass mandates, the vaccine mandates,
- 51:43Speaker 1: the vaccine passports. All of this. Florna Flarna sounds weird,
- 51:53Speaker 1: it will not. It's going to sound like that you're
- 51:55Speaker 1: saying your name in a week. This is the new one.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Remember Corona was weird for a few days, but the
- 52:05Speaker 1: media made sure they went wall to wall with it
- 52:07Speaker 1: and really freaked you out. Flerona. Here's the headline. Man
- 52:12Speaker 1: battles the flu and COVID at the same time. Now
- 52:15Speaker 1: this was happening, The first confirmed case was in Israel.
- 52:18Speaker 1: National headline on that was what is flarna and how
- 52:23Speaker 1: serious is it? And it was fear bongering. The first
- 52:25Speaker 1: headline was Israel's first known case of a person infected
- 52:29Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen and the flu has been detected, the
- 52:32Speaker 1: country's Minister of Health confirmed to CNN on Tuesday, raising
- 52:35Speaker 1: questions over how the two viruses might impact someone who
- 52:38Speaker 1: contracts him at the same time. This is the new
- 52:41Speaker 1: fear immediately jumped to Mississippi and here's your headline. A Batesville,
- 52:47Speaker 1: Mississippi man has been hit with flerona. It's what doctors
- 52:51Speaker 1: call it when a patient contracts both the flu and
- 52:54Speaker 1: coronavirus at the same time. Doctors in Mississippi said, flearna
- 52:58Speaker 1: is a rarity. How would they, Oh, it just started
- 53:01Speaker 1: happening in Israel, now it's happening in Batesville, Mississippi. Isn't
- 53:05Speaker 1: really gonna be that rare. I'm just asking. That's when
- 53:10Speaker 1: my doctor said he had never seen this before. So
- 53:13Speaker 1: it wasn't until on the news that we saw there.
- 53:15Speaker 1: The way they were worried about a twin dimmick. That's
- 53:19Speaker 1: a new word, you're gonna hear. Get ready, that'll be
- 53:21Speaker 1: normal in a week. Twin dinnick or both at the
- 53:24Speaker 1: same time. Rose said, both he and his daughter got
- 53:30Speaker 1: sick at the same time. Well with the symptoms that
- 53:34Speaker 1: I had. I had symptoms of both the fluent coronavirus.
- 53:36Speaker 1: When we went in at the clinic, they tested in
- 53:38Speaker 1: separate places for them, and I went in with flu
- 53:41Speaker 1: A positive. My daughter was sick as well, and her
- 53:44Speaker 1: COVID test came back positive. Doctors and tested Rose for COVID.
- 53:49Speaker 1: He came back positive as well. The only thing they
- 53:53Speaker 1: told me was to take tamiflu and drink lots of
- 53:56Speaker 1: fluids and if my symptoms or respiratory gets worse, to
- 54:00Speaker 1: go to the emergency room. Rose said he has been
- 54:05Speaker 1: vaccinated but has not had a COVID booster or a
- 54:09Speaker 1: Fluche shot feel a little better with the first couple
- 54:13Speaker 1: of days. I've never been that sick, and I don't
- 54:15Speaker 1: get sick, just shivering, cold, body aches all the way
- 54:19Speaker 1: to the bone. It hurts to move. Rose said, Now
- 54:22Speaker 1: this is supposed to be your cautionary tale. If you're
- 54:25Speaker 1: not vaccinated, if you're not boosted, and if you haven't
- 54:27Speaker 1: gotten your flu shot yet, you need to go do it.
- 54:29Speaker 1: And flu Rona is going to be normal in your life.
- 54:34Speaker 1: Twin dimmick is going to be a new word, a
- 54:37Speaker 1: normal word in your life. And the idea they say
- 54:39Speaker 1: it's not it's not, it's very uncommon. They're going to
- 54:42Speaker 1: make it feel like it's common. It will be everywhere, folks,
- 54:48Speaker 1: all of it. Everybody will be talking about it. This
- 54:52Speaker 1: will be the new thing. It will be the new thing.
- 54:57Speaker 1: Prepare for it. Get ready for it. It will be
- 55:00Speaker 1: the new thing. I'm telling you, this is how they
- 55:04Speaker 1: continue to take away your rights. We're seeing kids that
- 55:08Speaker 1: went back to school, and what happened with kids that
- 55:11Speaker 1: just went back to school. They're being separated into different rooms,
- 55:15Speaker 1: those that are healthy kids and the chosen ones of
- 55:18Speaker 1: the state, those that comply with mass mandates, and kids
- 55:21Speaker 1: that don't are sent home, not given an education, or
- 55:24Speaker 1: put in large group settings and cafeterias in stairwells auditoriums.
- 55:31Speaker 1: So you're taking a bunch of kids that don't have
- 55:33Speaker 1: masks on, and you're punishing them with not allowing them
- 55:36Speaker 1: to have an education. Number one. And then while you're
- 55:39Speaker 1: not allowing them to have an education, you're also going
- 55:42Speaker 1: to them expose them to one another and put all
- 55:44Speaker 1: the people that don't have a mask in one place.
- 55:46Speaker 1: Got it? That makes sense? Makes total sense, doesn't it?
- 55:54Speaker 1: I get it, makes total sense. They will ever stop
- 56:02Speaker 1: trying to fear monger you into complying, And if you
- 56:06Speaker 1: don't comply, they will find you if they. If you
- 56:10Speaker 1: don't comply, they will arrest you if you don't comply,
- 56:12Speaker 1: they will shut down your business if they If you
- 56:14Speaker 1: don't comply with your children, they will treat your children
- 56:17Speaker 1: like they're the property of the state and there is
- 56:22Speaker 1: insight for them. I'll say this, never let anyone define
- 56:26Speaker 1: your freedom and your liberty. You better start to learn
- 56:29Speaker 1: what the Constitution says about your rights.
