#323 Wealth Distribution Disparity part 5 of 6

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith #AATWD Part 5 of 6 Should we disband the FBI? Ron Paul has said we could cut our military budget by 50% AND RISK NOTHING IN TERMS OF NATIONAL SECURITY. We are constantly told by our government here in the US that we cannot afford social programs like education and healthcare, yet we spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on foreign aid. We also discuss psych drugs and how readily they are prescribed here in the US. In this conversation, the speaker and their interlocutor discussed the idea of dismantling the FBI and creating a new agency. The speaker cited Edward Snowden's research which found that there are between 17 and 21 three-letter intelligence agencies in the United States and that the NSA has grown from 70,000 to 140,000 employees. The interlocutor argued against subverting government, and the speaker then noted that Eisenhower created the NRO as a way to check the other agencies. However, it was not until 2002 that Congress mandated that all contractors under the NRO must be documented. They discussed the possibility of creating a new agency and how to handle the FBI agents who are complicit in crimes. Lastly, they discussed the example of someone who had to commit crimes in order to infiltrate the KKK, and how the FBI was aware of what was happening and yet did not intervene. The conversation begins with a discussion of the FBI and gathering information, with one party expressing frustration with the agency. This leads to a discussion of Bill and Hillary Clinton, both of whom had ties to Little Rock in the 1960s. The conversation then moves to discussing the divide between Democrats and Republicans, with one party expressing frustration with both parties being the same. This leads to a discussion on government programs, such as the NSA, the Patriot Act, and the Department of Homeland Security, and how they are not being reduced, while subsistence programs such as food stamps and welfare are being limited. The conversation ends with a comparison of the budget to a pizza, with the subsistence programs being a tiny slice of the pie. The speaker is advocating for cutting back foreign aid and redirecting the money to help Americans first. They point out the US is the only industrialized nation without universal health care, and that implementing it would save money by cutting out the middleman such as insurance companies. They also mention the crumbling infrastructure and the fact that the average American can't afford a $400 emergency. The speaker suggests that insurance companies are vultures who don't provide anything and should be cut out entirely, as well as reining in pharmaceutical companies. They emphasize that words and spelling matter, and that most words related to insurance have negative connotations. Thank you for tuning in!
