All on today's podcast

It's Wednesday November, Fourteenth Kelsey Tricia per cast intrusion is of course, he'd been from the probe for a while. Now I've been talking about since back in the past two days and it was a great it's a great company and one of the things that they do really well is make sure you can. Actually. And how we are, which is we don't want to be healthy? I don't I don't want to take the steps to be healthy. I mean here's the super, This turns me off field greens, full serving of real certified, Vegan Vegetarian and USDA organic fruits and vegetables, complete with antioxidants, oxidants at stake no. I know I know with all those words to here's. What sells me I don't have to eat

I I get him in this, and so I don't have to have a salad, no eat your broccoli. No all I have to do is have this. Brick house, dot com use, promo code, land get fifteen dollars off your first order. It's feel greens, brick house, dot com first, it's a France. Then it is the Germans. The Europeans are finally starting to get it. Last week, the French didn't mention the idea of creating a european army yay, because Europe with arms has never caused any problems. Yesterday, german Chancellor Angela Merkel, backed him up, saying quote: we have to work on the vision of one day, creating a real european army really one day You know it's been seventy years since the end of world war, two and I'm glad that you're finally getting around to it, but Trump call

our remarks insulting and told them instead to agree to meet their NATO commitments when whole exec wait a minute, you weren't you, the one. Wait. I thought you didn't like NATO hold it just a second. I you just got me there. You had me at bring the troops home. We are subsidizing half the planet's defense budgets in fact we're paying for almost all of it. World war two ended seventy three, years ago, the cold war ended two decades ago. Why do we have to hold Western Europe's deal anymore, I mean I like having you know, you know a bargain with these people, but we're not getting a bargain we're getting screwed? They have the, actual honest conversation about NATO. Now NATO did an outstanding job. It really did without it. People in France would

speaking probably german or russian? Nato was established to combat one enemy? All of its members had one goal. Protect themselves against the soviet union- will guess what doesn't just anymore now. Russia does an Russia has its eyes set on Europe, but unless we're actually going to talk about that and in less Germany isn't saying. Well, we've got to protect ourselves against. You know: evil, Russia and by the way we want to buy all their gas. So we can be on their heroin, I'm not interested, so why did? Why? Are we continuing to do this? Why are Nato members, this still subsidizing it being subsidized by us. We don't have identifying interests and unifying interests anymore. Do we do we cuz? I don't know who's for Russia and who's against Russia. I don't know who's for

National socialism, Ann who's against national socialism. I don't know how many, for instance, the UK, are you convinced that the UK can stand against the Islamic Sharia LAW courts that are already in its country, I'm not as far as policy goes, there hasn't been much to criticize President Trump on with the terrorists who, except for the tariffs, I would say I understand what he's doing here? First, he rocked the world by Chris. Using NATO during the first year of his administration. Now it looks like he's Purple waiting the continued use of the US military as European Security, blanket that I don't want to provide anymore. Our global helicopter parent

Nothing really has to stop. Is there reason why Japan still hasn't rebuilt their military and relies on us for security? Yeah there broke, but so are we enough is enough. China is a very big problem, but why not? Let Japan take their natural place and take the brunt of containing China? Let them foot the bill, how much of the deficit and national debt could we cut by empowering Europe, and Japan to take responsibility for themselves. I think it's time to re, examine and think outside of the box, because our debt situation is unsustainable and, quite honestly, I want our troops to come home. On our troops to concentrate on the problems that we have here, and I don't mean as troops I mean as good solid citizens, Europe and Japan. It's leave mommy and daddy's basement. I know which scary, but even in America, at twenty six

you're considered adults, your watt, seventy three don't worry, you'll screw it up and will be here We might give you some limited funds on a credit card. To help wean you off, but far as I'm concerned, it's time for mommy and daddy to kick them out of the house. The free ride is over the best of the Glenn Beck program. You know it doesn't take anything huge to help. You know people feel right now. People feel like. I can't do anything, and yet you can. Unlike ever before and sometimes via the to help comes from the strangest places. If you just don't close your eyes, if you decide

to pursue, sometimes where you thought you were going turns out to be a completely different nation. Sirius typo, ridden email or message appears in your inbox, purportedly from a nigerian prince or a down on his luck businessman now People respond one of two ways You either ignore it cynical yet amused or you. Fall for it and you lose thousands of dollars to an obvious scam, but something else happened in Two thousand and seventeen Ben Taylor. He got that message on Facebook. He gotta a man in Monrovia, Liberia is named. Is Joel Willie in the post. It read. My name is Joel. I'm from West Africa. Need some assistance from you busy

for financial assistance that will help in power. Media tea will Ben knew full well that most likely he was being scanned. He was sceptical. But he responded anyway and he said how can I help Joe, I asked him to mail, primo, electronics, cameras, computers, printers too. Shabby building in New Jersey so that he could sell those the liberian market and split the profits with Ben. I figured that this was just one of those african internet scams, but I decided to play along and see where it led me. I figured the more time of his that I could waste the last time that he'd have to spend. Other people off. So I told him that I didn't have any electronics to send, but I did have a business proposition if he was interested. I told him that I was in the photography business and then, if he'd be willing to take pictures of where he lived and send them to me. I pay him for the ones that I liked he agreed then, the next morning he sent a few over. They were just terrible

so the resultant photos that Joel said we're two out of kiss blurred canopy of trees, half lit by sunlight clearly shot with it. Fifteen year old, flip phone, so Ben responded. It was still warmly to Joel. Surprise me him rose, red, Vivitar, camera getting him to send more photos Joel, overjoyed, replied, I've decided to really committing devote myself to dps this business. And whatever picture you want me to take still skipped. Ben told Joel that his photography needed some work, all the pictures

a little better quality, but they still signs. So I said to him that if he wanted to make money taking pictures, he need to practice and even the whole, the camera still and make sure the subject had plenty of light. So man was genuinely surprised when he received a batch full of really good stunning photos. Eventually Joe did get better yeah. These are actually pretty good, which posed a big problem when he put in the work I I don't know now: I've got to figure out a way to compensate Joel for these pictures, or this camera. Then in an interview on CBS News but then decided to design a small book with the photos entitled it by d, grace of God now Ben thought that They sell a few copies and move on, but the sales. Have exceeded everybody's expectations and soon then had one thousand dollars in profits. I made

although we'd split the profits, five thousand and fifty, and that my half would go to charity. So I wrote a joke and said that I wanted to get my portion of the people of Liberia and asked if there was anything in his community that I could help with is, said that there were a lot of children that were in need because their parents were so poor. So I asked how can we help the children said: school materials, stationary book bags chairs. These are the things the children suffer for the most. He said, start by targeting the youngest one hundred kids and then it would cost me about five hundred dollars. This is where we're really going to find out what bills made out of you know he's going to. That money for the kids or he's going to keep it for himself but I still owe him money, so I decided to move forward and see what happens. Joel agreed. Ben just shrugged he? the cash to Western union and send it off into what he assumed. Would you know, be the abyss never to be seen or heard from again, but after a few weeks.

He received another package of photos. These photos were colorful Lifepoint enlivening in them. School children praying They were saying a thankful prayer for their new book bags and notebooks and their sharp new outfits all smiling you're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program, like listening to this podcast.

That's factor dot, com, call, eight hundred and five hundred eight thousand three hundred and eighty four. We think there from there. We thank them for their sponsorship, Pat, what's on your plate today, so much for one thing: did you know there's a ceo of

Democratic National Committee. There's a ceo, not just the head, who is a Perez? There's a ceo of the Democratic National Committee and Her name is Seema Nanda, I didn't know Sema and I didn't know about Nonda anger and I didn't I didn't know she was see you all of the democratic right. There's a lot. Are you didn't know a lot for a lot, but I have a feeling there's more to the story. Well, she was asked by Yahoo NEWS. About who's. Welcome in the Democrat Party and here's what she said is there room? or socialists in the democratic party. You know, I think we can we can get in it involved in you know what we, what we all call ourselves, I think there's room for all sorts of Democrats in the Democratic Party. What I mean, I think we can get involved in what we call ourselves when

I don't know sir say from the specially for the party that is doing is only slicing and dicing. Everybody in the groups are right. You know I mean you know. I think we can talk about. You know what we call each other point here is that the the code, they're gonna, say no labels. Now this is all the talk about the time. I know people that brought us L g b, T politicians, that's what they're all that's all plus the better question for the Democrat Party is: are there demo it's allowed in the social. Is there room for Democrats in more in the Democrat in the Socialist Party the Socialist have taken over that party, I mean: is there any doubt in anybody's mind that it's become a party of Soci Yes, in a lot of people in the press their mind, I saw an article today that Cinema is a. She won because she's such a centrist, oh my gosh, which is all good.

Golly. Really. She definitely tried to play herself as associated with out of centuries, not a centrist, she's, no more sense The better was hang on just a second just because she was a member of code. Pink doesn't make sense, I know and that's another thing they are so extreme in that party. I think we could learn some interesting lessons from the Democrats and how they won so many battles. I mean they've, just Overton Window Dus on absolutely everything. You need to start doing that on the right. We need to start insisting on. We won't. I know yeah. You know why I'm being too, I really am convinced, because people like Paul Ryan, don't believe in this stuff that we believe they don't believe in? They don't believe in real conservatism, yeah, they don't believe in strict adherence to the constitution. They don't believe that, and you know that's a cute little thing, but we gotta do what we gotta do so they won't Overton window. I would love to Overton Window

You know what let's reset this to one thousand seven hundred and ninety one kind of style like government. Can you imagine they would go crazy, crazy and then, if you were like ok well, we just want to get rid of the Department of education. They would be Hall K, alright. Finally, some sane people around yeah yeah start with how about zero abortions. For any reason ever, let's start there, and when babies come out of the birth canal, they're, given an Ar15 fifteen, Okay, let's start there, okay, on on abortions and gun control, that's where we begin yeah, I think, and what we do is we start with the HK. Forty seven is fully loaded and then we come Compra

although it themselves or the right right right, then we then worked as a bipartisan solution right, exactly right exactly and then we start arguing with them when they, when they have a problem with some of our solution. Yeah. I think this is this really is. What they've done tell me is what they've done tell me: they have unveiled plans for guaranteed jobs, guaranteed housing. Yeah. That is yes that is directly from this is obvious: yeah, it's from the soviet constitution. Remember when they started saying fifteen dollar minimum wage and how ridiculous it sounded. And then I was watching a something: Stossel did for a reason yesterday and it's all about how Amazon came out and they they were getting criticized them everyone, one of the fifteen,

minimum wage and they fought back for a little while and then they said AL alright fifteen dollars minimum wage. Then they started harassing other companies to match. Then they said they're going to lobby Congress to raise the minimum wage to fifteen dollars and, of course, Stossel completely right on this point. Is this: is just for Amazon. If every other company has to raise fares to fifteen dollars, thirty paying fifteen dollars an hour, everyone else gets forced to raise it just even advantage to Amazon. It now is actually what they did with our dresses in world war. Two they put out great car companies, great tire companies, great manufacturers, because Gm Chrysler and Ford all got together and said this. What we think the press, the this, what we think that the country should mandate for for manufacturing, and so it was good for the Big three because they can afford it and they put everyone else out of business. That's what's happening again,

Alex abstinence made this case before he wrote the moral case for fossil fuels. We had him on the show yeah, and his point is like we constantly. As you know, people who are conservatives in small government are arguing just for a less worse version of what the left is. Ask It's like he look at like right now. Yeah Bama CARE is a great example of this. We were like free market solutions, free market solutions, free markets, Is there like? Oh, we want government government government government, so they come in and they pass Obamacare and it's all you know going through and now live really every single member of the Republican Party with I don't know, a couple of exceptions have now taken large swaths of Obama CARE and embraced it. Three states voted to get the Medicare expansion that initially conservative states opposed the pre. Existing conditions. Thing is part of the platform, basically for the Republican Republican Party. Now, because it can Republican Party, continues to hire people and elect people like Mitt Romney who is is, is for all of these programs.

Donald Trump's. For that too. I know that you know I mean if this is their like minded more like minded than people would believe. Certainly different approach is different GE's is a nice similar in politicians. They're both really moderate Republican, correct he's a this guy that believes in big government and Donald Trump believes you know a hammer to get things done. But he bought there's several everman yeah and you know: can we talk a little bit about the terrorists, because there was a new, There was a new study that came out that showed where Trump lossed is the parts of the country where the tariffs hit people, the heart

yeah it's a it's an interesting analysis and the it's not a huge surprise. You know the economy is such an important issue and Trump rightly gets some credit for it, and it's been. We've been on a great run here for awhile, but the issues of when we set these tariffs on China. China responded and they targeted it. Remember this they're, like oh, they targeted these regions and they have political importance to the president and they targeted all of those, and they have now so a lot of these farmers in Iowa, for example, where the Republicans lost a couple of seats in somewhat surprised. Circumstances we're regions where they were exporting tons of material to China and now are no longer doing it. There's one analysis that, had you know, soybean exports, which has got to be the most boring, lead into a story in history, but they down ninety seven percent to China. Not yet look at this wiping out your whole business from one point, one billion a month from about a bill. Dollars a month to twenty four million wow exports in soybean,

to China's destroy your business, your business, twenty four million yeah. You can't do business, though well yeah we can. We can do it like FDR and we can then subsidise the farming well you're going to have to yeah you're going to have to you're going to have to and This is why this is like tariffs are so bad, so they're just so bad and it's really kicking in now. Anybody here anybody who's, ports. The president has needs to in the Nice is the ways nerd urge the president has one you've won. Mister president you've won now. Let's get rid of these tariffs we again terror for the role, the economy, because if you lose,

economy, you're gonna lose on twenty twenty he's done. This is the best of so my staff of millennials are talking about adult thing. I don't even know what the building is and a quarter life crisis. What the heck is a quarter life crisis. Well, we're about to find out Jay Peak Poke Luda is, is a an author of a book called welcome to adult ing and it is it is taking.

Millennials by storm? Welcome JP? How aria doing so great thanks for have me on when we say to you that okay, so so, JB well Adult ing what what exactly is adult ing? Well, it is the practice of behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of a mundane but necessary task. If that sounds like, I read that from the dictionary, because I did it's a it's a new word we just put that in the dictionary last year, and so it is official. So this is something that we used. Just do. Naturally, when you are eighteen, you were at least in my household. You are kind of expected. Go out and earn your own way, and you know you're an adult now get out an Now we now what what why breakdown of this thing that has always been natural, well

so that it's always been natural. I mean, I think it I think hindsight is always two thousand and twenty. When we look back on our own development and how we've grown up- and I know what saying about millennials and young adults today the delayed adolescence, they're lazy, narcissistic. I don't think that's entirely true at all yeah entitled in all of those things. Yeah and- and I I appreciate you know so- that we may have a shared perspective on that, because I I thought you know at it seems like we've all we all need help growing up in exist in different times and whatnot, and I, when I look at the future, I'm I'm hopeful at. I think these guys they they need leaders, they need people to inspire them, but I I think there they they will to do something great. They want to change the world, they want to do something bigger than themselves, and I hope this is a resource that helps him. Do that? Ok, so this is part of the. This is part of the problem. I think with

suicides that are rising in millennials, and it is it that people just aren't convinced that they can make a difference Their life has no meaning that there is no purpose to anything, and is this what the quarter life crisis is about. Yeah. I think that's absolutely right. One at that. I think people are looking for purpose. I think they're looking in the wrong place, I think they have one thousand friends on social media. You know one thousand

ballers, you know whatever, and and but no real relationships and no death and no meaningful conversations they're, not looking for hope in the right places, and so they despair. You know they they want to be the number one and number two goals of millennials are to be rich and to be famous and and when they do, they hit the the wall of pursuing riches in pursuing stardom other left, despairing and they're. Looking for more, I will tell you that wealth and fame are gigantic imposters and what really led me to my awakening in my thirties was I you know. I had accomplished a little bit of both and realized, that's completely empty and then had no idea where to go and where to find it. Yeah Brad Pitt says the same thing. Tom Brady says the same thing. Jim Carey says the same thing: Russell Brand, just

came out with a statement saying the same same thing. You know they they say my friend Todd says the the rich are infinitely better off than the poor, because, while the poor sink, a riches will bring happiness, the wealthy know better and I think that's a true statement,

same it is with famous and, as you know, these millennials young adults and whatnot they they want to do something bigger than themselves. They just don't know how, and so there's this cry of their heart. The scripture says that data set to turn it in our hearts. I think they're trying to feel that eternal void with all the things of this world and they're just coming up empty, and so I think the generation, your listeners, the generation that has gone before them- needs to be patient and take time to sit down with them. Continue to tell the war stories of old. Tell us about the times you know of of you growing up the hardships that you face. Try to do so without judgment and ask lots of questions seek to understand, become a student of your your children and grandchildren. I know that they they really there is a desire in them. It may be hidden behind some arrogance and pride, but there is a desire in them to learn from. I will tell

that. I don't think there was this spread of MIS understanding between generations. When I was a kid maybe between my grandparents and and me are because they grew up in the great depression, but not my parents and end me, I mean there was a misunderstanding, but things in the world have changed so much that when you talk, millennials. Now and I'm fifty four, you talk to millennials and it is a different world. They see the world differently, they speak a different language, They understand technology and the world as it's going to be much better, and you know I think they have a reason to be a little concerned if they don't have somebody in their life. That's you know an older. Asian going. It's! Ok, it's ok! It's really excite!

what you guys are facing is really exciting and you're going to be able to change the world. If you keep your head on your shoulders yeah, I think you're right. You have to have someone to talk to I also think you're pointing to the right challenges with the the information age, the boom of technology you know carrying a mega computer in a It's everywhere we go at that, does change a person, and so it's interesting what you say about the gap between you and your parents being smaller you. I think that that's probably I would share your perspective and at the same time, I think that we all go through something I like to call kind of the the younger brother, older brother syndrome, which comes from I. I picked it up from the bill to store the prodigal son where I think we're all kind of the the older of the younger brother at some point and someone

patient with us and let you know embraces us and extends grace to us, and then we know where we were with the father and all is right and we grow up and wavy overnight become the older brother and then we just look back with judge and we don't want to be patient with anyone else and- and so I tried to you, know when I sit with someone, you know who's, young and naive and just like I was, and I'm sure am in ways. I can't see right now, just be patient with them seek to understand the world where they're coming from what is their worldview, and- and you know, point them the truth, so you're working now at the waterfront or a watermark church, which is a great great organization here in Dallas TX, which I don't even know. What's the youth Population

there. I don't know that you know you, so I spend all my time with young adults so you're twenty to thirty five is the poor to say all my time. My time I teach on the weekends as well right, services. I share that with Todd our senior pastor, but we have at the porch on a Tuesday night. We have about four thousand young adults here in Dallas, amazing and then, and then we have another ten campuses around the country and then another you know fifty thousand or so streaming online, and so it's it's become, but God's grace, the largest young adult gathering in the in the country, and so what is the number one thing that they are uh they're concerned about? An how can people who are listening help them yeah appreciate you saying that I think well

dating right at that point. In your life you graduated college and you're, trying to figure out how you can convince someone of the opposite sex to spend the rest of their life with you, uh anxiety. It is a huge felt need right now. Is you talk about just growing suicide rates in depression rates? I think you have a generation despairing out of control, and so that's a huge felt need, but the biggest one you also touched on kingly is just searching for purpose. I think they're trying to figure out hey. You know it is that what is their God first of all, and if there is what is his desire for me and how do I find my purpose in this world and took that? Is I don't know

that's the the felt need. I think the felony can be more of the the dating and anxiety, but the real need. The underlying need is, is hey. What were you created for and that's why I think this this book. You know at the chapter two is all about purpose and finding your identity. I will tell you the name of the book is welcome to adult and by the way and I'll tell you a g p that if it you know, I search for answers for a long time and in my thirties I had a complete crash and I lost absolutely everything, and it was only then that I was willing to look at the real answer- which is god- and you know he had been just as distant kind of thing that I believed in, but it wasn't really a relationship, it's a protector, and he I I you know a it's not something that is being encouraged at all in a large portion of our society. Now and- and you know, churches

seems so out of touch to so many millennials. I mean it's different here in in the south, but seemed completely distant and God is kind of this distant idea, We were just listening to some audio from from the wildfires in California. I don't think I've heard so many Californians talk about God. Fern. You know when you're, when you are really stripped down. That's when you start to find answers, that's when you know in the midst of human suffering, that's where you find him and they said, there's no atheist in the foxhole and

You we've seen that we almost saw a great awakening happen with when nine hundred and eleven occurred whenever there's whenever tragic hits. Who would we turn to the creator of seeing the same thing in Haiti when the earthquake hit in twenty ten, but yet the whole country coming around saying? Ok now you know turning from Satanism to ok, we think there's a creator, God that's similar to my story. Glenn I mean sixteen years ago I was at a bar on a Saturday night and was kind of everything wrong with Dallas and a person was pretentious. I want to be a millionaire before I was thirty at the Jaguar in the penthouse condo and was you know girlfriend and another young, several girls, and all all of that, just in one person- and I was at a bar and someone invited me to church night. I came to water mark and I sat in the back row when I was hung over. I smell like smoke from the night before you know the club and I was addicted to sex addicted to porn, and I just begin to wrestle with who you know.

Who is God and really seeking that out? I looked at all the world religions 'cause. I thought what are the odds would be born to the right country. You know if I was born in China, I'd be Buddhist or India be Hindu and IRAN, it might be muslim inside started, studying started from scratch. I grew up in the church, but I was just like really had a biased against Christianity and, as I continue to explore that I was overwhelmed by the evidence that pointed me to Jesus Christ and when I surrendered my life to him. Just as that person that I described earlier, everything changed what I did for fun changed, who I hung out with changed the way I thought change the way I talk changed and ultimately you know my profession changed, and so I'm so passionate about helping the next generation reached this generation College NY or Ginsey Millenia Sles, young adults. I want to see that gap you addressed earlier become narrower and smaller, so that we can raise

because it is all of us we have to. We know what we're gonna leave this place, and you want to leave a legacy. You wanna leave people behind you that, or or seeking to you know, live out their purpose in this world JP. I'm I'm I'm thrilled to have you on. As sounds like, we have a lot of shared experiences and shared belief in of the younger generation. I think they get a very bad rap. The the you know. I've read good and bad, but I've met good and bad in all generations. This generation is looking they just I have anyone encouraging and anyone who is telling them telling them. You know they've they've been lied to, I think their whole their whole life and- and I have great confidence. So thank you. So much for what you do in the name of the book is welcome to adult ing, welcome to adult Ing, Jonathan G P, poke Luda. Thanks for being on we'll talk again,

Thank you so much appreciate you Now we bring in a and Heaton to to join us he's from us what what is it something's off something's off with Andrew Heaton yeah? I guess I keep it in this. I've just never heard of a name of the show the is more accurate than that one thing: its top of the charts with the heat and family right. Now, it's doing really. Well, I'm doing really good. It's a hit in Alva, ok, yeah, ok! So anyway, some things off with Andrew Heaton and it's a it's a look at the news, an kind of an enjoyable look at the news. Thank you. Yeah

you don't really get into all of the for TAT Canister. I I think that the news has so much bile in it right now in in so much it. It's as if everybody sits down at the beginning of the day goes. Let's talk about which team is the good team which team is a bad time and I don't think that's helpful I'd rather just kind of be a release valve for everybody. Yeah, we'll talk about substantive stuff. We had a good chat yesterday about, like you, know, kind of the the way the parties break down everything but yeah, but I can get off with with you know some something. That's a little bit more enjoyed Well, I I I. I didn't think that it was the best thing to start the show with animal news on an animal is yeah and I, but I was surprised because it will be in a little white. You told me yesterday in your podcast actually me make sense of what's happening in Florida. Yes, it does yeah that a yeah I so you know,

I do a lot of research everyday- and I in this is from a credible publications from National Geographic right, but it was. There was a story that I read about how Florida's worried about him. Monkeys read the escaped rhesus macaque monkeys with a deadly herpes simplex, be that can't jump species running amok through Florida, and I I looked into this really weird this for his first all standard headline for Florida. This seems about right, the Florida. It reads that they don't even read the story there like, of course, there are dead. You know his day. We got it. Thank you Funkeys Running Mullu, Sir GonNA route, everybody it in nineteen. Thirty, eight! This guy wanted to start a Tarzan, themed islands in Florida, so he purchased six rhesus macaque monkeys from from a dealer in New York and he dropped him off.

This island, wait. Wait wait yeah! Well when you go to New York for here, yeah yeah yeah, that's how you get on my cock. District, Barbara Brothers, live stream. Ok, let's aware of that development zone right, there's lots and lots of good tax breaks for Saturday or get your monkey ok, he bought these buggies that he released him on this island and he didn't know that rhesus macaques monkeys are apparently the Michael Phelps of the Monkey family and they they were there. Forty five minutes before they escaped into the woods of or into the sweltering swampland of Florida and they've been breeding there ever since they're up to like a up to several one hundred or a few thousand, or something like that and they're increasing at eleven percent per year and again I want to get back to this deadly herpes simplex virus

it because I this is what I was like. Well, I mean, are you saying that I mean I don't fuller sleepiness not doing anything else? Well, I mean it's in the eyes Florida possible it's. What I like to, I would add, is one ugly woman, but I you know, but somebody did die from it. What no it it's all I'll say is if you're forty, I don't think you, I think, there's way more stuff to be worried about if you're in Florida than these deadly markets. I think they're like no. I don't I don't know, but I think you might be better off. If you worry about the deadly your day will be more enjoyable. The monkeys are number eight. Where, where is the Broward County Election board I got I got. I think I put that like number seven, I think the actual systemic Florida problems far right right, get a flash in the pan elections that are going right, okay, yeah, but yeah. You can't so with this. If you catch this, this Herpes simplex be from the rhesus monkey. Little ITALY. It'll, give you if it does spinal inflammation,

it: either kill you or give you brain damage and it's it's very difficult to get. But if you get a monkey monkey body fluid in your eye or something like that like like throw something at you or your performing open heart surgery on the market right out of a van. Heard. You say this last night that you know if you get 'cause one person who died from it, she got yeah yeah. She got she got. Keep body fluid and I didn't say white, but you know yeah. I want you don't know I mean monkeys, you know they could have this so they could there's any number of we don't. You know never situation, but it did tell us it is. It is a concern and they're they're coming up with all the solutions of like what we can like we can. We could we can castrate every fourth monkey like that's a solution- is to try and we don't want to ruin the population and write. The thing that I started thinking about was Florida. Has twenty nine electoral votes it has deadly escaped swimming.

Which systems cock monkeys and it has twenty nine electoral votes. George F will electoral vote dot. George F, will he lives in a library he basically lives in a library with a mattress in the Middle smart, educated guy, no electoral electoral vote guilty of like a bleak baseball. No electoral votes go to. George F will and Florida gets twenty nine and I just don't seem fair to me right right. I think I didn't I didn't get into this podcast, but I think because All this difficulty browser and everything else going on for today. I think next election Florida. If you're in Florida, you should be allowed to vote for another state, canadian province or astronaut, and that gets to make your vote for you. That's that's my plan for Florida's kind of take them just remove the whole state a little bit from the decision making process of taking the monk

is an putting them in charge of the vote- I mean I could see a lot of elections going worse than having you know these monkeys, I mean 'cause, all those that are only truly I mean, if you're being paid off or if you're, just like casting a fake ballot, you're not going to do it. If you think the supervisor going to throw some, some feces at you and you are getting your eye in Kill ARI or you. Could you know that they they make those investing things about you like a monkey. Can you know the throw throw darts at a dart board? Maybe that's how you pick propositions obvious you, I, like a you. Just you put the Monkees charge. I like that: so uh. So California is another state that I think may have rhesus macaque, monkeys running rampant in it the the San Francisco voter, a population and we went out to vote on proposition, see and it passed with fifty nine point. Nine percent of the vote, and- and this is this- the limit- may I quote so-

half the vote pop pop? Is it by? You are bright and you're really. Thank you very much. Did you just do that on your side to cloudy proposition seeds, victory now? Listen, this proposition sees victory, means the homeless will have a home and the help they truly need, because the city has come together in love. So is it? Is it just a resolution that we want to help homeless people, or does it have force of law behind it? I know it to it's: the largest tax increase in San Francisco history, haha, loving to if it was just the resolution. I was like, I was really like it when Congress debates like if the buffalo should be the national mammal or something I feel like they're they're, not they're, not messing with the economy, so maybe but okay, but they're actually know others they're doing all their no they're doing this. Come

with more than fifty million dollars in gross revenue, receipts will now be taxed on any gross annual receipts revenue in San Francisco so and they already have that. So this is just a a giant increase. It means that a no company, that's doing like, like the big six sales force here, I don't know how much sales forces making in San Francisco, but they say that it will it It'll have to pay around ten million dollars per year, which is internal daily deal. Are they it just I this? This is where I I drop the funny there. The given out vouchers for for for rental apartments. Are they building homeless? Shelters are where's the money to go and Did you hear what I said the taking the money? I heard that going to love proposition see going to love this early delivery. Now that they've done this, this means the homeless will have a home and they help they truly need. And

you don't even see the love part see the love part. That's the best part is the city came together for love for those who need it, which it might it might to understand that they just they just came up with the tax plan without a spending plan I mean like I'm, actually that never happens impressive someone actually just like you know what we feel like. We might spend money in the future, so we get a tax now like usually we do it the other way around. Well now they I mean they have they have they have a plan, they've they've, already they've, you know: they've they've they've they've doubled the money that they're spending on the homeless problem to three hundred million dollars, but I'm not sure how effective it is in the overall rate of homelessness in San Francisco in two thousand four was eight thousand six hundred and forty now I think I've been to San Francisco. I go the higher numbered. They may be using an accurate guess, okay, because I think there's more than eight thousand, but in just that that short period of time just thirteen years, they drop that down to seven thousand four hundred and ninety nine, so

You know they've they've gotten. You know so that I had to make sure I understand their position is they've lowered the homeless population in San Francisco in the last third, after their position, okay, yeah, that I don't believe that at all so just to still work. Well, I mean I don't know if they're counting the people were living in tents is homeless. Now, so that's a bit, that's a big one. So you know and that's and that's what one of the things that they're doing with the money is is is tense. What about love? Are they doing that? Well, they they are since sending in us I'm not making this up. They are sending in maid service to that. Yes, yes, what to the cities really yeah, because the homeless camp, you know be expected and up so can I'm gonna, I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. Okay, go ahead! Yes, let let's say you're a you're, a big city on the West Coast and you spend a ton of money.

On dealing with homeless problems. It might just attract more homeless people I mean like it might suck about other cities. Right, I don't think that's a devil's advocate. That's that's! Not a big business dress which case like you know I come. You know, they're they're, being compassionate in this regard, a like there's, a difference between shifting the problem versus creating a problem. I guess is what I'm saying right well, but they've clearly already in. This is about love, so we know it's a good motivation. If there's one thing that government is good at doing it's, it's giving love a large corporate body of bureaucrats that you can meet or fire can love. Can I help Laddie yeah yeah yeah yeah? That's I! Every year I get my birthday card for the government. This and I my Christmas card right, the government- I just filled with love. Unlike the sixties, this is not free love. However, this is this very expensive, love yeah. So now let me ask you this speaking of love. You are you are. You are looking for a love of your life, yeah yeah yeah, I'm I'm I'm thirty four, and

ready to you know, I I thought I'd be on my third wife. By now I'm on zero yeah. I I feel like you need to step up my game. Yeah yeah. I need in this a serious deal. I mean it, don't you think that and is kind of like those guys. Everybody has a friend like this that you're, like he's, really nice he's really nice guy in, and I don't know why he's. I don't know why women are just repelled by him yeah, but he never seem to find it. They don't I hear what you're saying I think I'm more like Prince Harry, just I'm so unobtainable up there It scares people and they are intimidated to date or make out with I can hear that like Victoria's secret models allowed back when I was in high school in the problem? Is I'm not? I change Toria Secret, just a second I'm trying to imagine you in underpants and wings. There we go nope You're, welcome Erica, probably like a meerkat that can remember. Government is led the way here they pay for love

if you consider this should go to save just give it a rest.
