John & Producer Dan: How Limited Should Governance Be?

0:00All right, hello there. So still flying blind a little bit. I am, I am totally flying blind. This is great. I appreciate it, Governor Gilmore coming on. He's, you know, he's always, you know, really clear with things. And this guy, remember, you know, he, he ran for the House of delegates. He was Commonwealth Attorney and Henrico Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, you know, ran for President of the United States. When we talk to Jim Gilmore, you're hearing decades and decades and decades of, of Virginia-based analysis of what's, what has been going on and what's going on in the state, went to the University of Virginia. So, you know, it's unlike so many other people who are now in power here. You're not talking about someone who just decided to plop in. And, you know, 10 years later, they're arrogant enough to figure that they'll

1:05straighten all the dumb southerners in their opinion out, right? I mean, I'm so, so kind of offended and fed up with this attitude of people who come to Virginia and taken upon themselves to, to fix this society that they're fortunate enough to live in. They want to, they want to live here, but then they want to take over them. Little, little myth to buy that, but all right. So, I don't know how we're going to do this, producer Dan, but yeah, maybe you can do like a voice of the blind for me, because what I hope if you're watching at home, you're able to see the video clips, but for some reason, in my house, I can't see the video clip. You sent me photos. You're like, hey, what's going on? I can't see any of the elements of the show. Well, they're they're going out and I'm seeing them on the live stream. Nobody's complaining that they can't see the one there end. And they would certainly be composed. I hate to say the problem is your, I think it's, I think it's it's a you problem. It must be some sort of rendering issue or, you know, storage space issue on

2:12my computers. I don't know, but we had decided that we would show a couple of different clips here. One of them being punched the monkey. Now, I know why do people make a watch about being interested in punched the monkey? It's the biggest thing on the internet right now. Punch the monkey in Japan, biggest thing on the internet. And so here's the date. I think we'll do this next week and just see this poor little monkey. I thought I had found a friend and maybe the other monkeys were accepting punched the monkey, but it doesn't seem that way now. Yeah, it's well, so yeah, so we have we have a new video out and it's it's not as depressing as the previous ones, perhaps, but punch the back. Yeah, punch it back to existing in a state seemingly of semi or at least semi isolation. So I'm playing the video now, John. They just for folks who well for you, but punches is down on the on another level of this this rock like

3:20terrorists and the other monkeys are all up top and then he's sort of I'm guessing almost hiding from the rest of them. Maybe so that he doesn't suffer the abuse that he that he previously did, but he's sort of looking around and trying to stay quiet. It looks like, but they still don't get. What is making them hate this monkey so much or turn on this monkey? What is it? Maybe he's too cute for his own good. Maybe they think he's yeah, he could be like a mean girl. He's hot monkey. Yeah, you know, Carrie Grant once said the world hates beautiful people. Maybe maybe maybe that's right. It's beautiful monkeys. It's a it's a weird thing to say. That's what we'll tell us what to say about ourselves. That's that if we're ever if we ever get to feel like we're on well, it's just it's just because the world hates beautiful people. We'll just tell us that to make us feel bad. I'm pretty sure that it will be true in my case, but I'll at least say that's my story and I'm sticking to it. You know, I'm pretty sure it's the commies. It's it's as simple as that. The commie bastards who were out there who don't want anybody who's going to intellectually

4:24challenge them. Well, now we have a couple we have a couple of viewers indicating that their screen is black too. So I don't know what's going on. Well, dog on it. Yeah, what what is the deal with that? I don't know what yeah, what's happening all of a sudden with our with our with our this is not been the best week for us. Technically has it. Yeah, what and to yeah, to be transparent because I'm sure people are wondering where where is all the where are all the clips from yesterday? Where are the interviews from yesterday? We have a sort of a specific procedure that the guests have to follow in the process of signing out once an interview is over Riverside our platform, which is state of the art. I think it's the most popular platform for these podcasts, but it's it's recording everything in process as we're going. And if a guest signs out inappropriately or on I guess hastily, it basically paralyzes the whole show recording. And unless the the guest is subsequently later in time able essentially to correct the the improper

5:30sign out. We have we have nothing that we can edit or put together in post production at all. And we're just sort of left with the live unedited. So the show. I don't get it. So if you're ever wondering, what Dan, stop slacking off. Get you know, chop chop. What are you doing? I'm trying. I don't like to do my own horn in this regard, but I promise I I'm trying, but that and now we have other people saying that the screen is working fine. So it's it's almost like this weird bizarre. Yeah, so some people can see it. Some people can't. It's I when this is over, I will shut down. Yeah, when this is over, I'll shut down the computer and reset it. And this is yeah, this is to live. You know, why don't we just do this? We'll wrap this Friday. Everybody's trying to get going and do stuff, but I will say this. Not here yet, but somewhere, you know, we want to show the video next week. And I'm going to continue to point this out to people because apparently no one else is going to do it. The little Iatola Gazala, who remember, she marched with Hamas,

6:32right? I mean, I had a couple of people who were critical of me yesterday saying, Oh, John, what a sore loser you are. How awful it is that you keep bringing up the Islam thing. Sorry, I think that it's an important issue. And I can tell you if this was Pat Robertson, and Pat Robertson was refusing to offer, let's just let's just take a similar circumstance. Let's say that a gay guy had been beaten to death in a parking lot, right? In a church, let's make it a church parking lot, just a hypothetical. Do you think if Pat Robertson, the former preacher who ran the 700 club, if Pat Robertson was the lieutenant governor of Virginia, and a gay man had been beaten to death in a parking lot, do you think someone might think, Oh, let's go see how Pat Robertson is reacting to this. Is he going to say something

7:33really offensive and unimpathetic and say, Well, you know, the gay guy got what he deserved. Is that what is he going to say? Or is he going to say, you know, we're all a part of God's family? And this is not right. And we're a state of law and order. And this is not correct, which answer will he give us? Or will he roll his eyes and refuse to speak and walk by and then have a security guy push the reporter out of the way, which is what Ghazala Hashmi, the little Iatola did. I don't know what Ghazala Hashmi's attitude is because know whatever bother to ask her during the campaign, you know, stupid gay people went and supported her because she's a leftist and there are a lot of gay people who are they're more committed to the leftist movement than they are committed to their own survival in society. So that's how dumb a lot of these people are. Unfortunately, God, I just, I mean, it's, it's crazy. But you tell me, is it unfair for me

8:36as a commentator, whether I ran against this person or not to say, and I think you should ask everybody who is a Muslim in the legislature. You don't have to be offensive about it. Asking the question cannot be what the offense is because asking questions is fair. Do you, how do you analyze what President Trump is doing in Iran? Do you support President Trump? Do you not support President Trump? Are you upset that the Iatola is dead? Do you support the Islamic regime of Iran? I mean, they were supporting Hamas. They were sending money to prop up Hamas. So forgive me, but I didn't make Ghazala Hashmi go march with the Palestinian Hamas crowd. She did that on her own. She's out with her bullhorn, screaming and yelling about the radical Islamists who were slaughtering people with Hamas. So forgive me. I don't think it is inappropriate to ask that question of her today.

9:43An objective, like you tell me, lady, but what you don't, what is not acceptable is for us to have an elected official who's the second to charge at the state who just figure she doesn't have to answer anything. She doesn't owe you an explanation. No, no, ma'am, you do. And when it comes to the murder of an innocent 41-year-old mother of three from Fredericksburg who stabbed to death by an illegal migrant who had been arrested 30 different times and the Democrats keep letting him out of jail, you know, you wanted to be the lieutenant governor. You got to answer that question. Why would you continue to defend this very bad policy that now in this one instance and there are other instances we can point to, but in this one instance, a woman, an innocent, innocent woman is dead because of your policy. And you still don't want to work with immigration officials, federally, because you hate Donald Trump so much. Or I mean, I don't want to put words in your

10:44mouth. You tell us what you think about it. But Gazala Hashmi rolled her eyes and didn't give a damn about the dead lady, didn't give a damn about the law and her security guy. And you know, I hate to pick on, um, I don't know if he's a cop or state trooper or executive protection unit, but I've been around a lot of this stuff my entire life. That was out of line to shove a reporter who identifies who they are, who is standing. I mean, wasn't like he was up in her face. He held a microphone. And the microphone wasn't up in her face. Um, he didn't rush her. He was walking at a normal pace. And my question would seriously be both to the security guy and to Gazala Hashmi, where are you supposed to ask your elected officials a question? You're in the hallway of the state capital. Uh, I mean, I don't, this, this is the problem with Democrat leaders. They don't think

11:45they have to answer to you for anything. You are nothing to them. You are a peon. The only time they care about it is a care about you is when they can harvest your vote. They don't give a damn what you think. And that was clearly on display from the little Ayatollah, Gazala. Well, that should anger everybody, even Democrats should look at that and say, Gazala, that was not right. You know, and you did damage to all of us by behaving that way. I don't know why I'm, honestly, I'm waiting for the Capitol correspondence group to stand up on behalf of their reporter and say, no, wait a minute, in Virginia, we get to talk to our elected officials and we're reporters, we're credentialed. You know, you had to go through a security check. But I mean, even if that was just an average citizen, it is not inappropriate for somebody to say, excuse me, lieutenant governor, this is Virginia. I don't know how they do it elsewhere, even though I've been in state

12:47capitals all over the country. Um, that was obnoxious and arrogant. And that's the kind of woman this person is. And you should know it. And you put her in charge. And I'll be damned if I'm going to sit here and do the, oh, I'm not going to say anything because that doesn't look good. To hell with that, I'm going to point it out. I'm going to point it out. We're talking about people who believe that government is the solution to any at least perceived problem. As such, they, they can accurately be described as government worshipers. And given that that's the case, if they believe that government is something to be worship, then they believe that people who are officials in government are rulers. And when they get elected to positions of authority and government, they act like rulers, not, not people who are representatives who are accountable to the voters or constituents, but people who are elite. And, and everybody else is beneath that, you know, how, how, how do you question? How dare you step off reporter? You know, who do you,

13:52who do you think you are? And that is, that was the attitude clearly on display from Ayatollah Ghazali yesterday when in the state capital, the little Ayatollah when she's walking and just couldn't be bothered. I mean, can't even say that she has sympathy. The crazy thing is Dan, we're talking about a dead lady. I mean, this isn't just a policy position. This is a dead Virginia woman and mother and not one second. I mean, she has bad political instincts, which I would have exposed had she not been allowed to campaign from the basement. I mean, how can you as an elected official not have the instinct? I'm not even talking about as a good person, but just politically to turn and say, gosh, this is a horrible story. There's a lot to this, but I just, you know, the one thing I want people to know and her family to know is that all of us at the Capitol are thinking about her family and, and we don't want these types of things to happen. It's just a tragedy that had happened. And I'm going to have more to say about it later. I mean,

14:54just say that. I'm making that up as I'm sitting here. Yeah, just say that. If, you know, if, but she doesn't even have the class or the instant or the, yeah, to do that. Yeah. And you know, why? Because no one ever holds these people accountable. If this was Glenn Youngkin, yeah, or when some seers or me, they'd be tear it us apart today. Yeah. For daring to walk by the reporter and not respond with sympathy to a dead lady in her family. This is how Ralph Northam almost ends up moonwalking in front of a national press conference. Oh, that's right. This is a joke. Total joke. Sorry. Him, Northam ruined what could have been the greatest press conference in the history of America by telling her how to do. I am. I'm not going to sit by and just allow this to continue. Since apparently no one else in the state has the guts to call out something that is so obviously egregious and disrespectful to the people, to the reporters, to the dead ladies family. Sorry, not going to allow that to happen. And if you don't like me because of it, then so be it.

15:57I'm, I'm going to call it out since no one else will do it. All right. Let me just share with you again, today starts the voting for this gerrymandering scheme that is illegal, but no one, you know, the courts are impotent or blind or intimidated or compromised. I'm not exactly sure why the courts are allowing something that is clearly illegal to move forward. And I'm not saying it's not, I'm not saying it is illegal to change the constitution. It is. You just got to obey the rules and you got to do it the right way with the calendar and Democrats have decided. Typically, this is how arrogant they are. No, we don't have to obey the rule. That's what they've decided. And the courts that I would expect, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you have to have a different mindset when you're a judge, you step up and you look at the law, the very clear writing of the law and you enforce the law, but they're not going to do that. So we can argue about that all day and all night. It doesn't matter. The vote is going to happen. I'm assuming the vote won't be rigged.

17:03I pray, but the only chance you got to protect your right and your vote and your voice in Congress and quite frankly, the right and vote and voice of your neighbor. If you believe in democracy, representative democracy, then this is a vote knows situation. You can't allow the constitution to be trampled on and stripped like it's about to be. You have to vote no. And don't again, the Democrats keep showing their hand of how corrupt they are. They've written a description which will be mailed to your house if you get the mail in ballot. And you're going to read it and go, wait a minute. This talks about how voting yes is so fair. I mean, I got to tell you something. When people lie to me, I really am pissed. I'm really mad about it. I would rather you tell me what you think and then allow me to say yes or no, then for you to deliberately try to deceive me.

18:06And that's what's happening, a deliberate effort to deceive, not to win you over, not to explain it, and get you to say, okay, I'll go along with you, but to deceive you, you know the difference, that's a different attitude. And I'll say again, I hope as a political commentator or as a person who might run for office, I hope I never get to that place where we're lying to people. Let's not do that. And you've got to make the statement of voting no to teach these people a lesson because they're drunk with power right now. And it's going to be very, very harmful for the people of Virginia going forward. Please vote no today. And if you can't get to the polls today, cool. Wait till the mail arrives with the ballot and then vote no or go down to the courthouse between now and April 21st. Dan and I will remind you as we get closer to the next deadline. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You got anything before we go?

19:06I think they about covers it for what are you doing this weekend? Let's see here. I'll probably be watching a fair degree of college basketball. And I'll be on John Frederick's sports show tomorrow as a as a panelist. We were both on his Virginia gang today. I hope that you thought that that went well enough. And but yeah, I've become a weekly, weekly contributor to the sports theme to show. I think he calls it like the degenerate gamblers show or something like that. We're just kind of interesting because I've never done it. It doesn't never get with a day in my life. Yeah. So you know, this is interesting, Dan. You don't drink. I don't drink. And you and you don't and you don't gamble either. No, do you play the lottery? No, I play the lottery a case. I don't think that I've ever bought a lottery ticket. No way. Not even a lottery ticket when it's a billion dollars and I'm making such a big deal out of it. Yeah, I don't really ever. I don't think I've ever ever done it. I've probably thought, oh, I should go do it. And I just probably never just never end up doing it. But yeah, it's

20:08yeah. So I thought I was a little bit of issue with the there was the thought on the Virginia gang that, oh, you know, oh, this addictive, addictive thing. You know, I kind of have a mind over matter approach to life. And you know, but you can't you can't do that with with things that I mean, I know what you're saying. And apparently you've demonstrated that a discipline okay. The problem is, and this is what this is what I say about the marijuana stuff. This is what I say about the legal drugs, you know, the whole libertarian mindset, which I would be inclined to go along with the libertarian mindset. But the problem is once you let a percentage of the population do something that you know will incapacitate them, bankrupt them, destroy their health. And then, you know, even if you don't want to pay the bill like like you tell them, well, I'm not paying your hospital bill. I'm not paying your rehab bill. You're on your own. You

21:08which I would deteriorate the society. That's the problem. And with the with the online gambling with the phone, you know, one of the points that we're making today was if you allow people to gamble and lose money every second, it's not even based on a boxing match or a based on, you know, the basketball games you're going to watch this weekend or the Super Bowl. It's not based on the result of a game. It's just losing money left and right, which I think is the ultimate thing. I mean, like I don't play the slots or any of that stuff. You're destined to see a percentage of the population that will bankrupt themselves. Like one of my good friends, great guy, great guy. 30 years ago, he had grown up poor and, you know, had this mindset of, I've got to make it rich, which is good. I mean, it could have motivated him to do some things business-wise, but it didn't. He lost it all, man, in Vegas, lost his marriage, lost the house. God, it was just, I mean,

22:14I wanted to cry for him. And it was because he had that kind of addictive personality. And he just thought, this is, this is the hand of poker. This is the blackjack hand that I mean, this is, you know, I'm going to win on red today. And he lost. I mean, he ruined his life. It destroyed his life and really did a lot of damage to other people around him. And I still stayed his friend. A lot of people did not. I still stayed his friend because I could tell it had ruined him. But I look at that and it's not like I'm trying to micro-manage other people's lives. But from a public policy standpoint, you know, these jerks went after tobacco grown in Virginia. And I think they didn't do it because they thought tobacco was so bad. I think they just wanted to bankrupt and damage white Virginia tobacco people. I never spoke to day in my life, but it looks like it's turning out that that was not nearly the big bad health wise that that say

23:17sugar is. It's not, well, it's not, it's not healthy. I don't think it's healthy smoking, smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. I don't think it's healthy. But, but okay, if you're going to do that in the 90s, but now we're in 2020, 2026. And you're going to tell me, oh, let's legalize marijuana that's hyped up. You know, I've never smoked pots. I don't know, but I am told that this marijuana, the modern marijuana is so much more potent than what those hippie idiots were smoking in the 60s. It's like it's a night and day. It's crazy. Forget it. You have no credibility. You stomped the tobacco industry and, you know, treated people like dirt over Virginia tobacco. But now we want to have Virginia marijuana give me a break. I know what that's about. That's about quite frankly, black Democrats who were trying to make a lot of money off of black citizens

24:17and keep them high and voting Democrat, which is disgusting. That's a disgusting attitude to oppress your own people and numb and diminish the ability of your own people. I want nothing to do with that. I think it's disgusting. And it should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, I'd certainly make the argument that marijuana is legal under the under a proper reading and interpretation of the original constitution. But again, never I don't smoke marijuana. I have no interest in smoking marijuana. Don't really understand my constitution. Yes. Yeah, both by means of the preamble and the night the amendment. The numerous and certain rights in this constitution are not meant to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people. Yeah, I don't know that I'm going to go along with that. If that's the night the amendment should be everybody's favorite amendment. You have no restrictions on anything. And then you want nothing. Nothing.

25:17Across the line of of civility that doesn't that doesn't constitute a breach of the peace in there by a violation of individual rights. If I walk out my door and there are a hundred people who are incapable of reading them. That would be a breach of the peace. That would be a violation of rights. That's what you get. But that's a property rights violation. You call the cops and they get taken out. I mean, private property is basically the solution to all of these problems. It's the panacea that if we have a true private property system, we don't have these quote unquote tragedies of the commons where it's like, oh, well, you know, this is all hypothetical then. Yeah, this is all hypothetical because you don't live in isolation. I mean, if you don't live in isolation and we have unfortunately set up a structure. Yeah, that's the where we've we've set up a structure where if you're a pot head and it graduates to graduates to Coke or heroin or whatever else to make you high, then somehow I'm supposed to pay

26:19for your second or third trip to rehab. And I and I also don't want to live in a society where there are a bunch of drug addicts who are stealing from me and behaving badly and making life miserable for me. I mean, everybody doesn't have to be, you know, Mr. Fitness and we make everyone go to the gym at 6 a.m. and you're, you know, if you if you get above a certain BMI, you know, you're persona non-grata, you pay a tax of fat tax because you're fat and it's and we can predict that you're going to be a drain on society. We don't need to get to that place. But I do think you know, the substance abuse thing is very real. The abuse of gambling. I mean, do we just let the whole society go to hell? And I would just be just balancing that the market would solve these problems that that if people understand growing up now it's this is this is this is a process progress is always a process and intellectual revolution always must proceed a political revolution.

27:24We couldn't have had Thomas Jefferson without Thomas Kleinus. But if if people grow up understanding that they are responsible for themselves that responsibilities are byproduct of their rights that that if if they don't make prudent decisions, they're going to be the ones who pay for those consequences of those actions. Well, that would certainly be that is revolutionary idea for the average person. That is the way forward. It's still wouldn't say. It still wouldn't solve the problem. I mean, if you've got five percent of I mean, think about a classroom of 24 students in middle school. I might call the solving of the problem by way of a lot of door Darwin award winners. Yeah, but then you still got to watch people die. And you got you know, I mean, and that's my point. 24 students in a classroom. Yeah. Remember when you were back in class. Let's just pick 24. My classes generally had between 20 24 students. It only took one or two to ruin everything for everybody. You couldn't do anything. You couldn't teach this the lesson. You had kids crying and

28:25being picked on because of two little brats that were talking about government's government schools. You're right. Any school. Okay. Anytime private school. I went to private school too. That happened. All they took is one of the Christopher's. Well, I mean, you had my guess is more resources. Yeah, you had more. I mean, you had more latitude and more resources. But I mean, it's just it's a discipline in society. And I do think there's some things. You know, I don't think that we should say you can't have a drink. No, I wouldn't say that either. Unless you're a child. Well, even that. I mean, if you were sick, I think we're kind of stupid. The way we manage that, if you're 16 and you're at a dinner and you want to have a glass of wine, that doesn't freak me out. The problem is our society seems to revel in the grotesque

29:29abuse of these products. And we think it's funny. And you know, we're willing to pay for rehab. Yeah, we've said that there's a lot of other people are not responsible for their actions. My cousin Todd is is an amazing doctor and surgeon out in Scottsdale, Arizona, the year that he took his med boards. He got the single highest score in the entire country. Graduated number one in his class and the largest med school in the nation. Wow. Ohio State. And called me up while I was in law school to moan and complain. I mean, he was basically preaching to the choir because he knew where I stood on this. But he had the same junkie keep on getting high and falling off of his balcony, split open his head or break some bones or whatever. He did. He wasn't the one doing it. But this guy was getting wheeled into the emergency room when he was on emergency room duty. And each time this guy came in, he's obligated to fix this guy up, patch this guy up, and just ship him off to go do it again. Do it again.

30:30After two later and it's not like the guy could ever pay for what for and and Todd blessed his heart. I was saying, look, I don't mind doing it once or twice. But my goodness, if you're just going to keep on doing this and I'm going to keep on having to pay for you to subsist like this and keep on cracking your head open because you can't stop smoking crack or getting high. I'm sorry. I don't, you know, my view is if you can't get your act together, Darwin award. Congratulations. Claim your prize. But but we have sent them this message that that everybody is sort of his brother's keeper. And I think if we if we start sending the message from from youth and it would be intellectually revolutionary. But if we start sending the message loud and clear from youth, you are and Joe Manchin said this at at the Richmond forum. We were there a couple of weeks. We've gotten in this business where where government is our provider. And we need to stop that. We need to send the message loud and clear that you are responsible for you and government's job is to defend the peace against breaches by by anybody by from from

31:37from one person big gap between letting people die in the street from their own stupidity. And the Iranian regime that bans alcohol, you know, bans certain kinds of sex outside of whatever marriage they want to come. I mean, there's a bit there's a big spectrum between that. And I think we used to have the kind of the sweet spot on it. But there has been a movement in my lifetime where we're going to create programs programs programs that of course cost money, money, money, usually taken, taken, taken from the taxpayer, taxpayer, taxpayer. And we're going to fix everybody's problem on their behalf. And I I'm not interested. I'm not interested in paying for that. Yeah. Yeah. I just think if we if we get how we went down appropriately, we will have many, many, I mean, exponentially fewer instances of people falling prey to their own bad decisions

32:41because they'll know that the safety net isn't there. That they have to be they have to to take accountability and respond to their own actions. I also think we've got to show that we're serious like with crime. Oh, yeah. You got to. Yeah. You can't be. Yeah. You know, you want to know why you go to Asia and you don't see the same type of drug abuse in Asia. I mean, I'm not stupid. They're drugs. But everybody knows you get caught with drugs. You get your hand chopped off or you're being hanged. That ups the ante. So a lot of people who would normally be in the drug trade domestically in Asia, like, yeah, that's not something I'm going to get involved in. And you know, we can't even discipline somebody who's a mass murderer in America. We're too wimpy and weak to say, no, no, no, that crosses the line slaughtering innocent people, especially in mass crosses the line. We're going to send a message to you and everybody else that we're not tolerating. We're going to execute you. But no, Ralph Northam and the same dumb Democrats who created the

33:44environment in which a 41 year old mother gets stabbed by an illegal immigrant and nobody really cares about it. They created that. They won't even execute someone who slaughters innocent people. And now they can't even cooperate with the federal government to remove them from the society. Give me a break. This is not a serious society. If that's the attitude you're going to have. I don't want to live like that. I don't want to know that if somebody attacks me or kills me or Alonzo or somebody in my family that the rest of society will just kind of say, oh, well, you know, that's the way it is. No, it's not the way it is. It doesn't have to be that way. Let's get some tough people to stop this garbage. Well, it starts at home. I mean, I'm not a parent. I could see the parents saying, no, what do you know? What do you know about raising kids? You're not even a parent with us. But parents, you got to take discipline seriously. How many parents out there if they, if they discipline their kids and say, that's it. You talk back to me or you hit your sister. You got to go to bed early or no dessert for you tonight. The kid comes and I'm,

34:47I'm mommy, daddy. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Can I please? I'm so sorry. I love you, mommy. And this okay. Okay. But you got it. You got to stand firm in those situations because that's how you teach a kid. Look, Johnny, Johnny or Danny, I love you. And I appreciate that you apologize. And I'm glad that you understand that you understand and see that what you did was wrong, but choices have consequences. And you did something that was wrong. And there's a consequence of that. And this is how I teach you that bad choices have bad consequences. And you need to learn that lesson now. What do we say? Pay now or pay more later? Yeah. This is the way that you learn this lesson early and easily rather than harder later. Well, I bet you, I bet you would be hard to find a parenting book that talks that way. I guess that's true. Yeah, the generation of zero consequences is malicious. We're living through it. Okay. Well, let's go. All right. Listen, I hope everybody has a great weekend. We will be back on Monday with everything fixed.

35:50If you can't see the videos, we'll try to make sure that that works on Monday.

I'll see you on Monday.
