HUGE WIN FOR PARENTS! NEW Bill Filed in Florida Would Allow Audio and Video Recordings in Classrooms. EVERY STATE SHOULD DO THIS! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

  Speaker 1: Democrats ring in the new year with a new idea,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: less transparency and fewer rights for you as adults. Welcome
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to America in twenty twenty two. There are two major
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: stories today that I'm going to talk about. One of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: them deals with lack of transparency in the classroom. Democrats
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: are freaking out now over a bill that should be
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: filed in every state, that has been filed in Florida
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: that would allow video and audio recordings in the classroom.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We're going to deal with that, and why are they
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: fighting transparency? Number one? There's another news story that's important.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: That is this The average American now in this country
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: cannot even afford to buy a used car. Why use
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: car prices of skyrocketed to twenty nine thousand dollars. That
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: is the average cost of a used car now. And
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: how much is a new car average price? I'm going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to tell you in a moment this as the media
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: tries to mind trick you into believing that everything is
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: going amazingly well with the economy. Now, before we get
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: into these stories, I want to remind you I need
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: your help. A liberal website attacked our podcast this past
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: week and got people to write a unbelievable number of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: negative reviews. So if you're listening to this, we need
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: you to help us. Please while you're listening, right and
• 1:18

• 1:30
  Speaker 1: All right, there is a major bill that has been
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: filed in Florida. And this is a bill that every
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: single person listening should be advocating for in your state. Now.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: When I tell you to advocate for it, that means
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: more than just saying I like it. You need to
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: be calling your local state representative, and you need to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: be calling your local state senator. Forget calling the governor, Okay,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: start with your local lawmakers. You're local state rep and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: your local state senator. Because what they're trying to do
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: in Florida right now, and this is unbelievably brilliant, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it's also being met with a massive amount of opposition
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: from the teachers unions and the left because they don't
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: want you to see what's going on in your child's classroom,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and they sure as hell don't want you to hear
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: what's going on in your child's classroom. Now, how do
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I know that? Because of their response, there are Democrats.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Now they're saying, fine, we'll allow you to put a
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: camera in the classroom, but we do not want you
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to have audio of what's coming out of the mouths
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of teachers to your children's ears, because that's where they
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: know they're going to get in trouble. I am going
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to play for you a local newscast from WFLA Channel
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: eight in Florida, and I want you to hear how
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: they describe this bill. There's been filed to seek to
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: allow not just video but also audio recordings in every
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: school classroom in the States. Public schools and every state
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: in America that believes in freedom should be doing. This
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: bill in the state legislature would allow schools to install
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: cameras in classrooms to record classroom instruction and let parents
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: review the footage if there is ever an incidence. A
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: bill would force certain classroom teachers to wear a microphone
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and require a written explanation if that recording is interrupted.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Political reporter and Madonovan joins us from the newsroom with
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the details. The bill would attempt to protect student privacy
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: by forcing the images of other students to be blurred,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and schools would be required to hold onto the recordings
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: for at least three months. The bill is sponsored by
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: state Representative Bob Rommel of Naples. It would allow school
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: districts to install video cameras in classrooms for the purposes
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of recording an incident, which it defines as abuse or
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: neglect of a student by an employee or another student.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Parents of a child involved in an incident must be
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: allowed to review the video within a week, but the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: identity of other students who aren't involved must be blurred.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Teachers must wear microphones, and the camera has to be
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: at the front of the classroom, capable of monitoring video
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and audio from all areas except a restroom or other
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: changing area. Parents, students, and employees must be notified before
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: cameras are installed, and principles would be in charge of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: all recordings, which must be kept for three months or
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: until the conclusion of any investigation or any administrative or
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: legal proceedings. After that, the video must be destroyed. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: cameras cannot be live streamed or continually monitored, and videos
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: cannot be used for teacher evaluations. The law would require.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: By the way, I just got to stop here. Why
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: shouldn't you be able to live stream this, at least
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the audio at the bare men? Why should you have to,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, go in there and request to see video
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and have to do all this paperwork. Why shouldn't parents
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: be able to see And I'm asked this question because
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I already know why they're doing it this way, because
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: this is like the only possible compromise you can make
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: with the Left. And they're also saying, well, this is privacy.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: You're right, you shouldn't be able to spy on other
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: kids that aren't your kid. Well, we're not saying the
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: whole world should be able to see it, But if
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: your child is in a classroom, should you be able
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to log into that classroom and be able to monitor
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: your kid in that classroom? There are cameras, by the way,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and people, there's all these privacy people that say, well,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: there's privacy, this, privacy that, And I understand privacy, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I'm an advocate for privacy, but let's be very honest,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I should have the right to see what they're teaching
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: my kid, and it shouldn't be that hard for me
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: to see it. Or to hear it, because I know
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the teachers lie, and I know the teachers unionize. I
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: know they lie about the curriculum, and I know they
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: lie about critical race theory, and I know they lie
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: about politics, and I know they lie about about students
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that have been bullied because they are conservative. And if
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: we really want transparency in the classroom, then this is
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I would argue, how we get that transparency. This is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what we do if we want transparency. And if you're
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: genuinely teaching a kid reading, writing, an arithmetic, history, math,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: all of these things, then as a teacher, you should
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: care less if there is a camera in the classroom.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: In fact, I would even make it go a step
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: further in this argument. Right now, if it's all about
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: privacy and it's all about you know, concealing the students,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: then how are we doing distance learning the way we're
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: doing distance learning, because any parent can take a video
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of any kid's screen, or they can literally record a
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: kid's class right now, when we're doing distance learning and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: have been over the over the last year, all over
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the country, like it's obvious, it's very obvious, folks, it's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a it's abundantly clear that this is anyone that's fighting
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: against this. You have to ask the question, why why
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: are they fighting against it? What is the point of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: fighting against it? You're doing it right now in a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: way that clearly has been done for quite some time.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The idea that you got to blur out the kids.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: They're not blurring out faces when they have the classes
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that are social right now. No one was arguing over this.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: No one was fighting over this. Now they are. We
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: should have transparency in the classroom. We should be able
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: to see what the teachers are teaching, and you shouldn't
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: have to jump through a bunch of few hoops to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: actually see it. They're all school districts to complete and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: vote on whether to implement classroom cameras by January first,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. The bill was just filed this week,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: so it has not yet been heard by committee. That
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: could happen as soon as the legislative session starts, which
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: will begin January eleventh. And now. I believe that every
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: parent should be allowed to see video and audio. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: actually believe it should be streamed. I don't think you
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: should have to go in and I don't think you
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: have to you che have to do any of this.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Now in addition, they say it would require teachers to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: wear these microphones. I think that's brilliant. And if they
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't like it, then again, go back to the teachers
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: unions and say, you're the ones that allowed for microphone
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: and videos to be staring at a teacher's face all
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: day long while she was teaching kids, because you guys
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: shut down the schools. They all say it would permit
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: parents to review video of incidents. Why should it just
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be incidents. Why shouldn't it be what they're teaching their
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: kids or maybe what they're not teaching their kids, Because
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: it's not for me about the instance, it's about the transparency.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: For me, it's about what are you teaching my kids
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: or maybe better way of putting us, what are you
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: indoctrinating our kids with. I don't want to see an
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: incident there's a fight. I mean I do, yes, don't
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: get wrong, but I want to see what you're actually
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: telling my kids. I want to see what you're if
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: they're learning. I want to see how the teacher acts
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: when no one else is around. I think this is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: an amazing idea. Now they say, well, this is helicopter parents,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have parents that are too involved.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You gonna have parents constantly questioning teachers and nagging teachers,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna have parents are gonna say, see, you're
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: not teaching my kid, you're not giving my kid the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: attention they deserve with all due respect, just being totally honest.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Here in the public schools, that's usually not the problem.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The problems usually parents totally uninvolved in their kids' lives. Now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the real problem we have in this country is that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: usually parents are totally uninvolved in their kids' lives in
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the public school I argue that, if anything, if you
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: put these cameras in kids classrooms, you might actually have
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: parents that are uninvolved in their kids education start to
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: become involved in their kids education. They may realize just
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: how broken their failing schools are. Because it's one thing
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to read a stat it's another thing to understand it
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and to believe it. I'll equate this real quick with
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: your bank account. Are you really broke until you pull
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: out your debit card and it doesn't work a lot
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: of people don't realize they're broken. They don't have that
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, freak out moment until they get declined
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: that's when that moment usually happens. Usually that's that second
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: in time where that you know what hits the fan
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and people actually freak out. That's when people literally usually
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: lose their minds, and they lose their minds because that's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the moment that they had not planned whatever happened. They've
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: been close to rock bottom before, but never had they
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: actually had that moment happened. Same thing can happen with
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: parents and watching what's happening in their kids. They may
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: not realize how bad it is until they actually see
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: how bad it is untill they witness it firsthand. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: if parents get more involved because of that, then great,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing. That's a good thing. And
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: if the teachers, unions, and parents are afraid of parents
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: involvement in their kids' schools to the point where they're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: willing to fight this, then imagine what you're not seeing,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: or imagine what they don't want you to see. Transparency,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: especially with children, right now, I would argue as more
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: important than it's ever been. Unfortunately, le you live in
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a really, really tough society. We live in a world
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: right now where there's so much transparency and everything you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: do except in the most important areas, specifically, when it
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: comes to children, I think there should be putting cameras
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: basically everywhere, childcare centers, after school care centers. I think
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they should be doing this in private schools. I think
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: this is something that people should be able to see
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: because not only would it help you as a parent,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: parent your child, I would argue, have a big camera
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: on the classroom so you can see if your kid's
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: not paying attention right it, See if your kid's sleeping
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in class, see if your kid's not taking notes. In
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a private school, oh, I would love this. I would
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: love it because then if my son comes home it's like, oh,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the teacher's not teaching well and I don't understand the subject,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I can go look at the tape, and I can
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: go see if my kids actually even trying. Imagine the
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: amount of bass you can get rid of. And for parents,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: or excuse me, for teachers, I would assume you would
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: be in favor of this, not against it. And here's why,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: because then you can tell parents, go look at the tape.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: If you don't believe I'm doing a good job, go
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: look at your kid. If you don't want to believe me.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: When I tell your kids not paying attention, your kids,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: not engage, your kids, not involved in the classroom. Go
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: look at the tape, Go look at everything, look at
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: what I'm doing, and then look at your child's lack
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: of interaction, lack of care, lack of desire. Go look
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: at that and then talk to me. Go look in
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: that and then explain to me. In fact, I would
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: argue it could be great for teachers to actually pull
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: tape and say, look, I'm worried about your kid, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: here's why. You can see that they're totally unengaged. They're
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not trying, they're not getting involved, they're not involved in
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the class discussions. They're completely disengaged. They're coasting. They don't
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: care if you can show that video for narcissisic parents
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: who don't want to believe their kids might not be perfect, right,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: because there's too many parents. They believe their kids can
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: do no wrong and that their kids are perfect and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: their kids always do everything right, and they and unfortunately,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: what do they do. They blame other people for their problems.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: They blame the private schools, they blame the teachers, they
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: blame everything on somebody else. And a lot of the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: kids know also how to manipulate their parents in school.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: I think this could make a lot of that go away.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So if you're against this, I gotta wonder why. If
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you're the teachers union, I get why you're against us.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: This would mean that you would lose the ability to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: indoctrinate children the way that you've been doing it. This
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: would mean that your curriculum would actually be monitored. The
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: indoctrination of children to become hardcore leftists or those that
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: are anti America. That would be exposed on a new
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: level that we'd never seen before. That for me, is
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: good news. We should go back to just teaching kids reading, writing, arithmetic.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: We should not be indoctrinating children. We shouldn't be indoctrinating
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: them to be conservative, and we shouldn't be indoctrinating them
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to be liberal. I want to make that very very clear.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Schools should not be a place of politics. In fact, schools,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I would argue, should be absent of politics if there's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: any And I don't believe it's political, by the way,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to teach a kid to have pride in his country.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Some people now see that as a political thing. I don't.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think the pledge of allegiance is political. I
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: don't think loving America is political, and I don't think
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: we should be raising a group of society that should
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: be ashamed of being an American, or embarrassed of America,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: or feel like America is the worst country in the world.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And we would get to see some of that. We
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: would get to see just how corrupt and just how
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: political the classrooms are. So I go back to what
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I said earlier. If you are a parent and you
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: are hearing this today, and you like this idea, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I hope that you do, it's an idea that I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: think most people should be really excited about it. If
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you like this idea, if you support the idea of transparency,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: then don't just nod your head and agree with me.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: This is one of those moments where you can have
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: a real impact on your children's education and their future.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: What you should do is you should advocate for transparency.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: You should call your state rep. You should call your
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: state senator, and you should advocate for the bill that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: they're doing that's just been introduced in Florida. This shouldn't
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: just be a Florida thing. When other states do things
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: that are really brilliant and smart. We need to make
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: sure everybody else that doesn't live in Florida sees it
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and hears it and understands it and knows how to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: move forward with it. That's what I'm advocating for. This
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: could fundamentally change public school education in this country. It
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: could fundamentally change a broken system where there are so
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: many kids that are being failed right now in failing schools.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: This could change it in a major way. That's why
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I saw this story and I want to take time
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: to advocate for it and to tell you how we
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: need to move forward and how we need to support it.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And this is how we do it, all right, I
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: want to switch gears to the other story that told
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: you that I wanted to make sure I hit today,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: and it deals with the economy. There is shocking new
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: news out right now that the majority of Americans in
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: this country, for the first time in my lifetime, which
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is forty years, cannot afford to even buy a used car.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: The average new vehicle Edmunds dot Com says is edging
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: towards fifty thousand dollars tax, title and all the fees
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: forty six thousand if you take all that out. Even
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: so price of used cars are like it edged closer
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to new ones. Since the pandemic started, use vehicle prices
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: have now jumped forty two percent, more than double the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: increase for new ones. Last month, the average use vehicle
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: price was sixty three percent of the average new vehicle costs.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: For the pandemic, it was fifty four percent. At this point,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: dealers say they look the lower income buyers. There's very
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: few vehicles for them to even look at. What used
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: to be a five thousand dollar car is now an
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: eight thousand dollar car. Our car's eleven thousand or twelve
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: thousand dollar car. You include taxes, fees, a ten percent
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: down payment, and an interest rate of around seven point
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: five percent. The average use vehicle now costs five hundred
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: twenty dollars a month, even when financed for the average
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: of nearly six years. Edmonds has just reported, Oh, but
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the economy is doing fine. Don't worry America. Nothing's wrong.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Everything's great. The White House said so, and the media
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: propagandas put it out there. To make the payment, To
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: make that payment and afford such other necessities as housing, food,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and utilities, a household would have to take calm about
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars a year, or seventy five thousand dollars
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: before taxes. That's what Kimberly Palmer, a personal finance specialist
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: at nerd Wallet, said. In twenty twenty, the US median
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: pre tax household income was sixty seven thousand. Census Bureau says,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: quote the average person, Palmer said, can't afford the average
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: used car right now. Okay, somebody in the media, do
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: your damn job and ask the question of Joe Biden
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: or his press secretary Jen Saki. Quote the average person
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: can't afford the average used car. Now, knew used car?
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Right now? How is the economy in great shape? If
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: that's the reality, it's the first time, by the way,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: in my entire lifetime the data has shown that to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be true. And I'm forty. I've In Dury, a senior
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: manager at Edmond, said that while he doesn't track use
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: vehicle prices relative to home household income, he thinks November
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: marked a record in the worst way possible for quote affordability.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: Monthly payments for average use vehicles, he noted, were four
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen dollars two years ago, three hundred and
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: fifty and she excuse me, three hundred and eighty two
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: dollars five years ago and three hundred and sixty five
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: dollars a decade ago. And now I think about that.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Ten years ago the average monthly payment for used car
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: was three hundred sixty five dollars. That was a decade ago.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Just five years ago that number had only gone up
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: eighteen dollars, no, sixteen dollars, excuse me, So in a
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: five year period, the average used car monthly payment had
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: gone up sixteen bucks. The November average payment of five
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars plus for US vehicle is a new average.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Put that in perspective, how bad it is. Five hundred
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: dollars was the average car payment needed five years ago
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: for a brand new vehicle. Quote. People are going to
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: have to make hard decisions, maybe cut back in other areas,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Palmer said. It means that it's stressful time for a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: lot of families, hard working families. Right now, use vehicle
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: prices are so high that Carl Hogan of Can's Cannon's Burg, Pennsylvania,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: near Pittsburgh, was able last month to quickly sell his
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: two thousand and seven to Tacoma, a small pickup truck
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: with more than thousand miles on it. Even with the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: vehicle's age and mileage. A man from Ohio forked over
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: six thousand, five hundred dollars for it. Hogan didn't have
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to budge from the asking price. When some would be
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: buyers offered him less money, he told them, I've got
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: twelve other guys behind you. A week before the sale,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: he bought a new Tacoma. Hogan had been on the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: other side of the equation. The dealer wouldn't budge from
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the thirty eight thousand dollars sticker price quote. If I
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: didn't take it. There were three people waiting. I couldn't
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: get any off, but I wanted a new truck. David Paris,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: senior manager at Jiddy Power, noted that the used vehicle
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: prices are directly tied to the cost of new ones,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: though some automakers report the computer chips supply is gradually improving,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Prices paid by dealers that use vehicle auctions kept a
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: rise through November. We've not seen any softening in prices,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: which is extremely rare for this time of year, he said.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: New vehicle dealers have about one one million vehicles available nationwide.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: That's about one third of the normal supply chain. The
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: vast majority have already been sold. Given pin up demand
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: from consumer, prices for nuhicles are expected to remain historically
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: high until the supply returns to around two million to
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: two point five million, and automakers resume discounting, which could
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: which could take us well into twenty twenty three one
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: new vehicle. Once new vehicle prices at least stop increasing,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're even going to come down, by the way,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: they say, by twenty twenty four. They do believe used
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: vehicle prices could eventually follow, so two years from any
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: relief from this, and even after that, the availability vehicles
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: will be tight, they say, because the traditional sources of
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: US vehicles autos turned in from least and trade ins
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: or sold by rental companies, have essentially dried up altogether
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: for the past decade. Cars returning from two and three
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: year leases or a leading source of almost all new
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: used vehicles hitting the market. But that was when more
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: than one third of US new vehicles sales were actually leases,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a new figure now down to twenty two percent, said Edmonds.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Because there aren't any or excuse me, because there aren't
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: many new autos people are expiring with expiring leases are
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: often buying those cars once their leases in because they
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: can't get a new one. Rental companies, another key source
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of late model used cars, can't buy new ones now
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and are holding the ones they have for longer. Summnal
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: companies are even buying used vehicles now for the first
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: time in decades. Given all those factors, PAIRS expects the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: storage of use cars to worsen through twenty twenty four.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Let me see it again. Given all those factors, the
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: shortage of use vehicles they believe will worsen through twenty
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty twenty three, and through twenty twenty four
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: three years. Among the few consumers who stand up benefit
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: are those who want to sell a use car and
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to replace it. The average trade in
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: October Pair said was nine thousand dollars, twice what it
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: was a year earlier, twice what it was a year earlier.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But for people who have no vehicles to trade in
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and only modest incomes, the options are few to none.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Palmer said. Lower income people may simply have to pay
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for repairs to keep a current vehicle running as long
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: as possible. Even that option, though, can become expensive. JD.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Power said that many can't afford it. Many buyers, they're
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: actually now telling you should probably look past a used
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: car and just go straight for a new one if
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: you can afford it. One man said he recently managed
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: to get a couple of thousand dollars whacked off a
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: sticker price on a new Ram pickup, though he had
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to travel from washing in DC area to Philadelphia to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: reach a willing dealer he had located by searching internet forums.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: If you look hard enough and are willing to wait
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: and travel, you can find deals across most brands. But
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: if you want to instant gratification in your market, good luck.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Twenty nine thousand dollars for an average used car now
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: in America and fifty thousand dollars for an average new
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: car in America. But the economy's fine, the White House said,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: no problems with the economy. Everything's perfect. The average medium
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: income household family cannot afford a used car right now
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: because of inflation. Say it again, cannot afford cannot afford
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a used car? What is new? What is a new
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: car cost? Right now? It's even more shocking fifty thousands.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: The average for a new car right now. But remember,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: everything is totally fine. Okay, you have nothing to worry about.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Everything's good, folks. There are no problems in the economy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Things are amazing. If you don't believe me, I have
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: proof how great things are, and things are incredible. Propaganda
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: headline News HLN, CNN. They put out this talking about
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: how amazing the economy is right now. It's booming, folks.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Everything is fine. Yes, if you made fifty thousand last year,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: it's worth about forty four thousand now. And buying power yes.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: And the majority of Americans now for the first time
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: a lifetime can't afford a used car. But everything's fine
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: because we put out the propaganda of the government. Oh
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: really good for your money, Jen, I'm gonna say, it
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: depends on who you ask, right well, overall, I mean,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the economy did amazing as we wrap up twenty amazing.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I love this. Even the host is like introducing their
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: money expert because she knows what they're going to try
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: to sell you on real quick. Even the host is like,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: the economy is doing amazing. It depends on who you ask.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: It really depends on who you ask. And then you
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: hear the chuckle. That's like, okay, I've said it, so
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I don't look like a moron before she tells you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and gives you all this propaganda. Right, Like, I've done
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: my part. I'm going to get out of the way.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Now Here is the Biden liberal propaganda. We are nothing
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: but state sponsored media, and I'm going to tell you
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: how amazing things are. The economy is on fire overall,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, the economy did amazing as we wrap up
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, year two of the pandemic. I mean,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: economy for the most part was on fire. The job
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: market is at its strongest levels in decades. Look, I
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: love this, by the way, the job markets at its
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: strongest level in decades. So let's be clear what that means.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: There are millions and millions of people that our businesses
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and small businesses that desperately need work. Right, the desperately
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: need work. Workers can't find them, so that means that
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: things are good way through the roof. People can't even
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: fire bad employees. People are having to close down certain
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: days because they can't find enough employees to even operate.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: People have had to change the hours in which they
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: open and ham work a week. Small businesses are failing
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: at a rate that we haven't seen in decades. But
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: you want me to believe that things are amazing, and
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: they're gonna tell you, Oh, it's because we added some jobs.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: We had six point one million jobs. Well, we did,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: but how many jobs are still left unfilled because of
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: an economy that's been destroyed by the federal government giving
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: people money and making them lazy. It is twenty twenty one.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Six point one million jobs were created, that's the law,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: just amount of jobs going all the way back to
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: nineteen forty and we're not even counting December yet. We
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: don't have the numbers in for that part. The American
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Rescue Plan cut child poverty in half by fifty percent,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: and it was just as juicy on Wall Street and
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: in corporate boardrooms. Stock market measured by the S and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: P five hundred up nearly thirty percent for this year.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Corporate profits at their best since nineteen fifty. So despite
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: the pandemic, it's been quite amazing. And holiday shopping sales
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: up eight and a half percent as people tried to
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: get back to a sense of holiday normalcy. Now there
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: have been some higher prices. You see them for basics
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like food, shelter, and gas, and I love this. Now
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: there have been some higher price like food, shelter and gas,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: basically everything you need to survive. But we're going to
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: quickly boot past that. I'm going to tell you that
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: everything's fine. But the cost of good for the basics
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: of food, shelter, and the sense, they've skyrocketed. But don't worry.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Everything's fine, folks. How many of you can have forty
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: used car right now? Less than half of Americans can
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: afford a used car right now. But everything's fine, folks.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Everything is a okay. You don't need to worry. We
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: got this. Everything is super Everything is great. Everybody should
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: be excited because everything's good. You have nothing to worry about.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Everything's fine, there are no issues. Our economy is wonderful,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: our economy is amazing. Everything is perfect, and our economy
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: is perfect, and you don't need to worry. There's nothing
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: to worry about. Granted, food and shelter and water and
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: those things, yeah they kind of suck, but everything else
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: is good. Research firm I RII predicts as another five
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: percent just in the first six months of the new
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: year for items like mac and cheese and steak and potatoes,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: chicken breasts, and wine. But costs are going up too,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: so that's part of the reason. Now, but costs are
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: going up too, so that's part of the reason. So
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: you just told me that you're dealing with massive inflation
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: without saying the word inflation. This is what state sponsored
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: media sounds like. This is nothing but propaganda from HLN
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Headline News owned by CNN, owned by AT and T.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: That is what this is. Okay, that is what this is.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: That's all it is, folks. Economists say that the wild
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: card for twenty twenty two is going to be this
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: new omicron variant that fast spread has led to the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: partial shutdown of the New York City Subway, Cincinnati's mayor
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: declaring a state of emergency because firefighters are sick, and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: thousands of canceled flights. As you know now, Jet Blue
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: says they're going to preemptively cancel thirteen hundred flights in
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: just the next two weeks. That's only ten percent of
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: their schedule because they are expecting so many of their
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: workers to call out sick. They said that this week
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: has been one of the worst weeks of the entire pandemic.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: We know so many airlines have been hit with all
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: these cancelations. It's been pretty miserable for travelers too. But Cheyenne,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: despite Omicron throwing things into disarray at the very end
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: of the year, overall it was gangbusters. Overall, it's gangbusters.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of you are suffering, but overall,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna tell you it's gangbusters, because that's what we're
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you. It is all right. I'm gonna end
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: it with that, and I'm gonna give you one more
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: quick reminder. Please make sure you write a review for
