Bruce Anthony: We're gonna be dilly ding a little bit, and then we're gonna be talking about the labor shortage here in America.

And then we're gonna be talking about the rapture or what [00:01:00] was it, but that's enough of the intro. Let's get to the show.

Bruce Anthony: What else sis?

Jay Aundrea: What

Bruce Anthony: I can't call it. I can't call it, but it seem like you can seem like you got some stuff on your mind. So I'm gonna give you the floor to, to explore

Jay Aundrea: I mean, I am in a bad mood. I'm in a bad mood because apparently we can't take Tylenol no more.

Bruce Anthony: I didn't know that's where you was going, but we here, oh, I didn't know we had the Benny, we had the Benny Hill Convention that's telling us what medications that we can and cannot. God. Benny Hill Con

Jay Aundrea: a a, a, a, a man who can't even say acetaminophen.

The Great Tylenol Debate: What's Really Going On? 💊🤔❗

Jay Aundrea: And the thing of it is, it's not like acetaminophen is not an uncommon word.

Bruce Anthony: I'm be real honest, I can't say that shit either. So, [00:02:00] uh, and

Jay Aundrea: You can't say acetaminophen. That's it.

Bruce Anthony: Oh, okay. Well,

Jay Aundrea: just didn't say it with confidence.

Bruce Anthony: not at, not at all.

Jay Aundrea: But if you saw the word, would you know it was acetaminophen.

Bruce Anthony: I know what that word is. Would I be able to say acetaminophen if somebody else hadn't said it beforehand? No, but, but I saw the

Jay Aundrea: is he looked at the word and was like, asu. Asu. Like, even if you could, even if he doesn't know phonics, just sight reading. If you see the word, you're like, that's acetaminophen,

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, hey.

Jay Aundrea: commonly known Tylenol.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Yeah. They told us and they, they saying don't put them vaccines in them babies. Yeah. You know, I mean,

Jay Aundrea: it's the people who are like, I mean, I don't, there nobody even has polio anymore. And you just wanna look at 'em and be like, [00:03:00] I wonder why genius.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: I wonder why you don't see measles, mumps, rubella, te.

Bruce Anthony: What did they say was linked to autism again? Oh, okay. That, that's what they said.

The Truth About Autism Diagnosis: Breaking Down the Facts 🧩💡

Bruce Anthony: Now, I, I, I'm not, I, I'm not good at science, but I've taken a lot of sciences, right? And I've, and I've done research and studies like what you're supposed to do in science, you know, when you working on stuff. Let me ask you a question, and this is a poor analogy, ladies and gentlemen, but it's the only analogy I could come off with at the top of my head.

I, I know there are better ones, but just follow me here. If you are cleaning your floor

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: and you got a skinny broom,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: you're only going to collect a certain amount of dust each time that you sweep, right?

Jay Aundrea: Right?

Bruce Anthony: If you expand or get a bigger broom, or even a vacuum cleaner, you can collect [00:04:00] more dust, right? You still cleaning, but you're cleaning more efficiently and you're collecting.

More dirt in shorter period of time. Correct. Alright. Now I, I gotta point to this ladies and gentlemen. Just follow me.

Jay Aundrea: Okay. I am trying.

Bruce Anthony: know, I know. If the expansion of the definition of autism, because it's a, it's a spectrum has expanded,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: that means more people are going to fit into this because it's a spectrum, which means the number of people that have autism is naturally gonna rise.

Jay Aundrea: Even if, even if we didn't, have the spectrum, right, if we didn't recognize all the, all the myriad of ways that autism can present in people, you're gonna have more diagnoses just simply because of awareness.

Bruce Anthony: That was my next

Jay Aundrea: Like, just, just on awareness alone.

Bruce Anthony: That was my next point. So people are going out here. It's a [00:05:00] rise of children with autism. No, it's a rise of children being diagnosed with autism. You talk about it consistently. You were not diagnosed with a D, you had a D, h, D all your life. You did not get diagnosed until you was almost 40.

That that doesn't mean that there, there's a rise in people that have a DHD. What it is, is, is a rise of people that are being recognized at a younger age.

Jay Aundrea: Yes.

Bruce Anthony: I don't understand how people don't understand this concept. I

Jay Aundrea: It's not that. It is not that damn

Bruce Anthony: It's not

Jay Aundrea: We stop thinking about them being possessed by demons. We now know that it's just neurodiversity,

Bruce Anthony: Right.

Jay Aundrea: like it's not witchcraft anymore. That's what's changed, who we now know. It's just people's brains operate in different ways. We know that now and, and we've [00:06:00] been studying it and researching it to the point where we can now spot in people's behaviors, in, in, in how they operate in, in life and, and how they function and all these things.

We can now spot neurodiversity and people who had no, I, I was just talking to my therapist about the difficulties I was having at work with organization and time management and just on that conversation, Hey, have you ever thought about being evaluated for a DH adhd? Because now we're aware of the signs and symptoms.

It, uh, guys, I, I gotta say it's not that hard.

Bruce Anthony: It's not that hard.

Jay Aundrea: hard. It's like when we discovered washing our hands could prevent a lot of the spread of disease.

Bruce Anthony: Now, hold on. When did, when did we discover that? 'cause some people just discovered that about five [00:07:00] years

Jay Aundrea: Some time around the, the time of Typhoid Mary, I'm assuming his home girl was making mugs sick, not washing her hands.

Bruce Anthony: What else has

Jay Aundrea: And they could not stop her from,

Bruce Anthony: from

Jay Aundrea: stop her from cooking from people. She, they could not stop her.

Bruce Anthony: yeah. I, the, I can understand the stupidity really gets me angry as, as well.

Jay Aundrea: Not only that, his appearance in front of the un,

Bruce Anthony: Uh,

Jay Aundrea: it just make it, we just look so dumb.

Bruce Anthony: I think though. Yes and no. Right? I think that, and I would love to get this examination for people in other countries. Do they look at America and say, as America a whole, this is your representation, or do they say, Hmm, half of y'all people in that country dumb as hell? Not even half. Not even

Jay Aundrea: I, [00:08:00] I, I don't know. I think they're probably saying, Hey America, y'all okay? Like I feel like they're probably was like, y'all seem to be tripping, but a lot of places are tripping right now.

Conservatism. Yeah. conservatism, uh, uh, is, is gripping a lot of places right now and making it difficult for a lot of people right now.

So I don't, I mean, ours is a particularly dumb ass case, but, this is not, you know, the rise of neoconservatism is not uncommon around the world.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. You know, I was watching a clip, I think it was on YouTube, and our boy Neil Degrass Tyson was talking and the question that was po the question that was posed was something like, you know, if there are aliens out there, why haven't they like made first contact? And he said, you know, when you're walking on the street [00:09:00] and you see a worm, what do you do? You squash it 'cause it's an inferior thing and it's primitive and you squash it. Right? That's

Jay Aundrea: And you don't think about it and you move on with your day.

Bruce Anthony: right. He said, when you look at us in our traveling space, we haven't gone that far. He's like, our space station is barely in outer space. We haven't gone to the moon and. Decades. We haven't even touched Mars yet.

So if civilization is able to travel light years to get to us, they're far more advanced. They probably observed us and said, no,

Jay Aundrea: They're not ready yet.

Bruce Anthony: not that they're not ready. That they're just too primitive. And when you think about it, I was thinking about something earlier and, and if I'm wrong on this, ladies and gentlemen, correct me, when God [00:10:00] created the garden of eating, he gave us plenty of food, right?

Jay Aundrea: Well, it's not us. It was only two people

Bruce Anthony: Well, he gave them plenty. But the, the

Jay Aundrea: Yes. They had, they had everything they could want.

Bruce Anthony: What were they eating?

Jay Aundrea: Everything in anything that they, whatever they

Bruce Anthony: But it wasn't animals though.

Jay Aundrea: Uh, I don't know. They didn't

Bruce Anthony: I, yeah, I thought it was just fruits and vegetables. They could just pick and they could eat and it.

Jay Aundrea: Uh, I don't, I don't think that's the case. Well, you know, the whole story of Cain and Abel right? Is because Abel slaughtered his like best lamb as a gift, you know, uh, for God. Uh, so I think, and, and then, and then of course Adam was given dominion over the animals. He named them and things like that. So, I don't know.

I assume people ate meat, ate meat back then

Bruce Anthony: I, I'm, I'm talking about the [00:11:00] beginning. The beginning. I don't know. And, and let me, let me just

Jay Aundrea: it wasn't the beginning.

Bruce Anthony: uh Okay. All, all I know is, and I love the chicken and all of the cow and the pig from the Rooter to the Tudor,

but just as there are studies done with people who are cannibals and how that warps your mind.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Maybe eating animals and I don't know this guys, I'm just spit ball balling. This is unsolicited perspectives. I have not studied this. I'm just telling you the random thoughts that's in my head. Maybe eating meat and I'm not about to stop anyway, so I don't care. Maybe eating meat has made us blood thirsty, kind of like cannibals become warped in the mine, and that could be a reason why we're so barbaric.

What you think about it, them people that were hippies that lived on the economy that only ate vegetables, they're not violent people.

Jay Aundrea: [00:12:00] Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if we're like hardwired for it. Uh, if it's just like a part of our nature. I don't know if it's because I, I don't think it's because we eat meat.

Bruce Anthony: All I'm saying is there's a correlation between cannibals and them. Because they're eating human meat, like something in their mind and their body becomes warped and they

Jay Aundrea: I think you're thinking of the window go. The Native American creature is when a human eats another human's

Bruce Anthony: not thinking about no supernatural beast.

Jay Aundrea: a breath. Like I

Bruce Anthony: about real studies in cannibalism,

Jay Aundrea: I've not read any you know, as a data scientist, the word correlation has. Uh, real meaning

for me.

Bruce Anthony: and causation. Yes.

Jay Aundrea: yes. So, uh, I can't comment on the state of capitalism in the world.

[00:13:00] Uh, so I don't know. But, but what, but I get your point though about us. Uh, yeah.

Would Aliens Even Want to Visit Earth? The Hard Truth 👽🌍💫

Jay Aundrea: I mean our, we, uh, uh, uh, a, uh, civilization capable of interstellar travel. Why would they stop here?

Bruce Anthony: I mean, we're, we're barbaric. We're barbaric. We will literally bomb an area. And I'm not even talking about what's going on in Gaza. Right, because that's obviously and what's going on in Ukraine. Yeah. I'm talking about stuff that we have personally done. We dropped atomic bombs and decimated areas. People your skin burn when you think about it.

We are so barbaric. So hell yeah. Just like when you take a wrong turn and you go down the wrong neighborhood, you lock the doors and roll up the windows. 'cause it's like I'm not gonna be stopped at the red light and get jacked. I'm gonna speed through that bad boy. I am sure more advanced creatures. [00:14:00] Will look at us and be like, y'all are crazy.

Just like we look at primitive animals here on this planet

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah. I think I That's probably true.

Bruce Anthony: because animals be eating other animals and don't even be cooking it or seasoning it or nothing.

Jay Aundrea: They don't need to, their, their stomachs are different from ours, but like,

Bruce Anthony: they

don't

Jay Aundrea: like, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I'm gonna be honest, I wouldn't stop here.

Bruce Anthony: No. Nah, Uhuh not at all.

Jay Aundrea: It looked, it looked ghetto. It looked ghetto from the outside.

America's Reality Check: The State We're In 🇺🇸💔🤔

Jay Aundrea: So aside from just the state of this country, you know, it, it just occurred to me that I, when I graduated from undergrad, we were in a recession slash depression.

There were no jobs. And now that I'm about to graduate from grad school, guess what?

Bruce Anthony: We in a recession about to hit depression with

Jay Aundrea: We ain't in a recession. Depression, not yet. But there is no jobs. There's no jobs. So it's great.

It's

just, everything's

Bruce Anthony: though. You'll be

Jay Aundrea: I, I think [00:15:00] so, but I mean, I, I'm worried about, you know, people, people graduating and trying to get out there and find, I mean, not even me.

I mean, I'm, I'm grown, right? Just think about the young people graduating from undergrad out there trying to get jobs, reading stories. Like 300,000 black women were let go from the federal government. The jobs report looks like trash. Everything is, it's all, it's just trash and the, and the like and the delusion that this administration is living under the, and it is like a willful d Lulu,

like, it's '

Bruce Anthony: cause

it's not affecting them. Nothing that they're

Jay Aundrea: nothing is, no.

He is made billions. He's made billions since

Bruce Anthony: Everybody that's in that

administration is gonna be just fine. They're going to be talking heads on the conservative talk market. They'll write their books. They'll be

Jay Aundrea: They all [00:16:00] have podcasts. They all have podcasts right now. No, I'm serious because you gotta think the, the cabinet is full of podcasters and Fox News hosts and

Bruce Anthony: Alright, Jay, that's, that's not entirely true. It's not all made up of podcast bros. Fox News commentators and right wing influencers. That's not true.

This

Jay Aundrea: it's it's got one. No, no. It's got one Fox News contributor that happens to be the Secretary of Defense. And then who else? There's no podcast bros that's in the cabinet.

they all, they all are podcast bros.

Bruce Anthony: Who, who, who has started a podcast?

Jay Aundrea: Oh, I, uh, uh, cash everybody, first of all. But like even, oh God, what's our goofy vice president's name?

Bruce Anthony: JD Vance.[00:17:00]

Jay Aundrea: That's how unremarkable that person is. Always on. Uh, who's who. The terrible, terrible guy. This is how unremarkable all of these people

are. That I don't even Steven Miller's wife's podcast. She has like everybody on that podcast.

Cash Patel

is the director. You don't remember cash? You don't remember Cash Corner?

Oh, I thought you meant that he wasn't a part of, but like, just think about that. This man has no business. Pam Body has no business. RFK has no business in the positions that they are in. None. No business. No earthly

Bruce Anthony: Linda McMahon being head of Department of Education.

Jay Aundrea: No earthly business

because you [00:18:00] know

Bruce Anthony: Rubio. Marco Rubio. Like if you're going to pick a Republican to be Secretary of State, okay. Like he served in the Senate for years. That's typically how that goes.

Jay Aundrea: what's Marco Rubio's foreign policy experience.

Bruce Anthony: know. But what was Hillary Clinton's? You see what I'm saying? You see

what I'm saying though? Well, mark, I don't think Marco Rubio is dumb.

Just because I disagree with his political ideology doesn't mean that he's dumb. He's not a dumb man, and besides, he looks like he is stressed. He don't look like he look like that job at all.

Jay Aundrea: Well, yeah, because again, you don't have no business being in it, but like also it's kind of difficult when your boss just goes out and says, whatever, if the teleprompter's not working, this man just says whatever. And then you have to go out there

Bruce Anthony: Even if it

Jay Aundrea: and try to [00:19:00] Right. And try to represent, try to represent this country.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah,

Jay Aundrea: I'm sure it's not an easy job, as at all. Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: So basically the plight of America has got you upset.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I just can't. I, I'm just, I'm tired. I've been in a bad mood since yesterday, and I'm gonna tell you, yesterday I went to see Demon Slayer, infinity Castle, part one of three. As people know it's a trilogy. It is, it was absolutely outstanding.

I couldn't even like, enjoy it as much as I wanted to enjoy it. Because I knew as soon as I stepped out of the theater, I will be back in the world. And uh, yeah. It's just got your girl down. So if y'all, Hey, prepare for me to just have a slight attitude this episode about everything, because that's, I'm not in a good mood.

Bruce Anthony: All right. Well, I mean, we here [00:20:00] now, so I mean we here and I, I don't know what that's going to vote for the show, but on that note, let's get down to some thing that it's probably gonna piss you off even more. And that's what this administration has done to the labor that's important to this country, and we're gonna get into that All right, Jay, this, the title of this TE segment is we told you. Exclamation point we told you. What did we tell you? There's a widespread labor shortage in sectors like farming, construction, and domestic work across the US driven significantly by President Trump's ramped up deportation policies that targeted undocumented immigrant workers, many of whom are assist to those industries.

[00:21:00] As a result, owners and employers who often previously supported Trump's stricter immigration stances are now voicing concerns and complaints, highlighting major disruptions to their businesses and the broader economy. And all I could say is we told you so.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Yeah.

America's Labor Crisis: The Real Impact on Our Economy 💼📉💪

Jay Aundrea: I mean, honestly, common sense told you

Bruce Anthony: Well, here's where common sense didn't kick in, because I've been watching a lot of interviews of these, especially the farmers. The farmers really been complaining and now they're saying, Hey, we're gonna have to, we don't want to, but we're gonna have to get a loan from the government to maintain our farm or else we're gonna go under.

I was like, oh, you mean a government handout? Government handout? But

anyway, a lot of them were saying that we didn't think that there would be a labor shortage because once we got all the legals out, [00:22:00] black people were going to come take the black jobs. Because remember, Trump kept saying that black jobs are taking black jobs.

They thought black people was gonna go back to the farm. We ain't farmed in a hundred years. And when

Jay Aundrea: we we never left the farm. There are plenty of black

farmers, But

Bruce Anthony: I'm talking about, as a Right. That's what I'm saying. We ain't farmed in a hundred years unless we own the land. We ain't out here sharecropping. That's not what we are

Jay Aundrea: That, uh, that's, that is what. What, what y'all think making America great again. They wanna go back, whoa, whoa. Who were we back then? What were we back where they want to go?

Bruce Anthony: Just watch the movie centers and I'll tell you.

Jay Aundrea: And they, you know, that's what they think because they think these are black

jobs. Oh, they're coming in, they're taking all the black jobs.

Bruce Anthony: Because at one time they were black jobs until, [00:23:00] you

know, we gained freedom.

Jay Aundrea: right.

Bruce Anthony: Until we gained freedom. Alright,

Jay Aundrea: And not saying that, that black people don't still work in the labor industry. We absolutely do do farming, construction, and domestic work. We have never not been, uh, part of that labor force or that skilled labor force. We, we will always be. But to just say that we assumed. That black people would just go in and get those jobs.

'cause what else are y'all doing? That's what's offensive.

Bruce Anthony: Extremely offensive. So, so let's get down to the wrong numbers. Up to 40% of agriculture. See, you know,

not a medi,

Jay Aundrea: say farm workers.

Bruce Anthony: sapin.

Jay Aundrea: all right.

Bruce Anthony: You know, say sometimes you can get tied up in these words. Okay. My friend is gonna be like, you should have cut that out. No. I fumbled up to 40% of farm workers in the US [00:24:00] are estimated to be undocumented immigrants with some farms losing as much as 60% of their workforce after enforcement crackdowns, leaving crops, unharvested and jeopardizing entire harvest seasons, farms are publicly complaining about the costly and less reliable legal problems like H two A Visas. And the American Farm Bureau Federation has warned that continued deportations could cripple America's agriculture.

Some owners, despite voting for Trump, have directly lobbied the administration for more lenient or RA or rationalized policies realizing the scale of their dependency on foreign labor. So

Jay Aundrea: How did you not know the scale of your dependency on foreign labor?

Bruce Anthony: their hate, their hate superseded it. This, okay, I wasn't gonna go there, but we here, I almost choked on some spit while reading and I had to cut that tick out. But since So I'm agitated. So [00:25:00] since we here, let's put it all out in the open.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: Their hate supersedes any common sense. And you're gonna say that.

What are you talking about? The hate they, they're here illegally. Okay. Alright, well let's break this down. You're American, right?

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: You believe in the Constitution.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Do you believe that everybody has a due process?

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: Doesn't matter if they're here illegally or not. Everybody under the Constitution is granted.

Due process is is not doing that. You can't pick and choose which amendments that you wanna follow and say, well, I'm American, but I believe in this amendment and not this amendment. Either you believe in the US Constitution and you believe in law and order, or you don't. So

Jay Aundrea: no. 'cause that's not, that's not what's traditionally true. Right? It is like, take, take the Bible for instance. People love to pick out the passages that suit their worldview [00:26:00] and ignore the rest. So this is the playbook for the, uh, haters

Bruce Anthony: yes,

I,

Jay Aundrea: this I understand that. That's the point that I'm making. You can't pick and choose. I understand that this has been, the hypocrisy has always been in this country. You know how much I hate hypocrisy, but I'm calling out your hypocrisy.

When Faith Meets Reality: The Truth About Religious Freedom 🙏⚖️✨

Bruce Anthony: And so you can't say, well, it's against the law and we just following the rules and regulation and law and order in the constitution when you are defying certain things in the Constitution.

So if you are trying to pick and choose things, your hatred of others is what's fueling you, and that's the reason why you don't have common sense to know you're gonna be jeopardized by your actions.

Jay Aundrea: yeah. I mean, here's my thing. If you, if you know, as the owner of a farm that now, so up to 40% of [00:27:00] agricultural workers are undocumented. Un that's it. Like, that's a, that's a, a large persistence, almost half for anybody who knows numbers.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, almost half.

Jay Aundrea: is a lot. So you can't tell me running a farm that you don't know that some of your workers do not have their H two A visa. Some of them are undocumented, but despite that, you still chose to vote for Trump knowing that Stephen Miller, if he could, will round up anybody that is darker than uh, uh, uh, some popcorn or like a eggshell. Okay? Like anybody, anybody darker than that peach crayon that they say is skin colored, right?

Like anybody darker than that, he would love to round them all up and just put them on a boat to anywhere or a plane to anywhere. He doesn't really [00:28:00] care where they go as long as they're not here. You still decided to vote for that, knowing that 40% because you thought it wasn't gonna affect you. You thought that everything that they were talking about was for the other, it wasn't for you that you would be fine.

You were, but listen, common sense been chasing y'all, but y'all just too fast.

The Hidden Cost of Deporting America's Essential Workers 👥💔💪

Jay Aundrea: Like it is not, it, it don't make no damn sense why you would vote for someone who wants to take away 60% of your workforce. Now remember, 40% are undocumented, but farms are losing as much as 60% of their workforce. So there are people there with legal status that are still being rounded up by ice.

We already know this. It is, it [00:29:00] is the height of just willful ignorance. I, I don't know what's like y'all, y'all really think y'all are immune, but lemme tell you something. Blue collar workers. Poor folk. People in rural communities or agricultural workers, people in the, in the labor force, y y'all, they not like y'all.

They're not looking out for you. They're looking out for their own pockets and their own power. That's the way it's always been. They never hid it. And now, now that it's affecting you, now it's a problem. Now we gotta lobby the administration for, Hey, let's be a little more rational about who we're, who ice is.

Rounding up, let's, oh, let's be a little more [00:30:00] rational about our policies. We've been saying that for forever. We've been saying that about our, uh, policies for, uh, undocumented persons in this country. We've been saying that about guns, right? To have more rational policies Now, uh, I know it's not sexy to say we need more rational policies.

I know it's not, I get it. But now you're seeing why people have been saying that all the time. I, I, I, it breaks my heart a little when you see a little bit, when you see people, especially Latinos in this country who voted for Trump, whose family members, whose friends coworkers are being rounded up by ice and essentially disappeared, right?

Them pleading them regretting their vote, but [00:31:00] the man said it all, he said it. He was telling the truth the entire time. You just kept saying, oh, that's just Trump, and, and, and, and acting like. He wasn't telling you exactly what he was going to do. They laid it out in a document called Project 2025, and they have held to that playbook this entire time, and they've accomplished a lot of the things that are in there.

Affirmative action is gone. DEI is gone. He has the Congress. He has the Senate. Senate. He has the goddamn Supreme Court. This is not going to get better. It's gonna get worse. So congratulations, jackasses. And I told y'all I was in a bad mood. I told you and I told y'all I was in a bad mood, partly because of jobs.

And here we go.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: Here we go. This is part of the reason I was in a bad [00:32:00] damn mood. Okay. Go, go, go, go. Go ahead, finish. Because I'm.

Bruce Anthony: Uh, all right. So, you know, like I said, they've been facing a lot of these companies, a lot of these farms because it's not, like I said, it's not just farms, it's construction, it's domestic work, nursing homes, things of that nature. Losing the people that work in there. Fact of the matter is they about to to mess up and we about to lose a lot of people in tech.

Okay. And

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: something.

Jay Aundrea: Oh, the, the, uh, the South Koreans and the Hyundai plant down here in Georgia. Dave already said there was a, a article in the New York Times, I think today. America's not a safe place.

Bruce Anthony: I thought Governor Kemp was going to South Korea to try to work out something. I thought I

Jay Aundrea: Oh, they are? They are pleading,

pleading the about face. But listen, [00:33:00] they said we coming to get our people, and I don't, I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, no. They and, and, and as they should be, but they literally said, America is not a safe place to work. That is a quote that was going to bring so many jobs here to Georgia.

Bruce Anthony: but the administration is caught between economic necessity and migrant labor and the political peril with its core supporters because they've been talking about kicking them out, kicking them out, kicking them out. But obviously it's affecting our labor force and companies and farms. So now they starting to float ideas like temporary permits or touchback programs and you know, none of it, anything they throw out is never really definite, but.

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: I was talking to [00:34:00] somebody and I can't remember exactly who it was and, and they were just like, yeah, if they're illegal, just get out.

The Forgotten History of America's Immigrant Workers 🌎🤝💫

Bruce Anthony: And I was like, you know, America started this, right? And they were like, what are you talking about? I was like, America made deals with Mexico years ago

to bring in Mexican workers for their labor shortage because we were at war.

People seem to forget World War ii. Every male went, every able-bodied male went to go fight in the war. So who was doing the labor? Women

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: and Mexicans,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: because we had a specific program. And that program was called the BARC program? Yeah, it

was a, yeah, it was a BARC program. It was a bilateral agreement that ran from 1942 to 1964. Which brought over 4 million [00:35:00] Mexican men to the US to work agriculture and railroads to address the critical labor shortages during World War ii. When did World War II end? 1945. 19 45, 19 years after the fact. We are still bringing it. It's an agreement that we had. And you know what a lot of those farmers was like, look, they're good.

We they working, they they do good. They come over here, they wanna work. It's, they go back and they support the family or they stay here, they contribute to their economy. I don't see no problem with it. It's been ingrained. So I say all that to say this, when we need it, all of a sudden we'll make concessions

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: when we think we don't need it.

Or hatred has risen to a point where we say, we don't need them here in this country, and we deport them. Then we realize, oh shit, what the hell did we just do? Because

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: it's not black jobs.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. But that's what they thought, right? That's what they thought. [00:36:00] But, but here's the thing. That's like America's playbook. Like we make deals and then we break deals. And then we demonize our allies. Like that's, that's what we do. And the car canaries in the coal mine were black people, right? Because once we were emancipated, then you start hearing the go back to Africa, right?

You brought, we come here voluntarily.

Bruce Anthony: Here's a funny thing, I, I saw, I saw something on TikTok or Instagram where it was an economic person and they said this whole idea of, go back to where it came from. Alright, uh, yeah, look, I'm not firing on all some of this days, ladies and gentlemen. I'm tired. Okay.

Jay Aundrea: Okay,

Bruce Anthony: Okay.

The Hidden Cost of Mass Deportation: Economy in Crisis 💼💸⚠️

Bruce Anthony: So, so I'm doing the best I can, but, uh, an economist was talking about, all right, what if, what [00:37:00] if minorities did go back, right?

And, and, and first of all he was like, first of all, it'd be difficult for every African American in this country. Could go back to where exactly,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. There's nowhere for us to go back. We all know that we primarily from West Africa, but we're also a lot of other things.

Bruce Anthony: So, but let's just, he is like, let's just say everybody one fell swoop. Na Nate Bar. Shout out Nate Barett. One fell swoop.

Jay Aundrea: Right.

Bruce Anthony: left. This person talked about, okay, just like what's happening now, labor shortages, hospitals are gonna get closed. Crime is gonna be all over the place because resources are not gonna be available for the people that need them.

Basically, the country collapses within 30 days. The country, the country absolutely collapses. In 30 days, people are not working the [00:38:00] grids. All of a sudden the grids go down, where's the electricity? Where is the power coming from? So in the tech world, they were talking about, you know, we gotta pay, it's either a hundred thousand dollars annually or a hundred thousand dollars one time fee for anybody that they bring over from another country to work for these tech jobs.

Right?

And they, they announced it and it was confusing when they announced it. A lot of people were about to go back to their other countries and there's companies were calling them like, don't get off the plane. Get off the plane right now. Don't go. We don't know if you'll be able to get back. The idea behind this idiotic administration is that those will go to American workers, except for the fact that we're not trained to do any of that stuff.

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: Not at all. We're behind the, I found out that we don't have enough residencies for doctors, like we have more doctors than [00:39:00] residencies, and you need a doctor has to go to the reside residency to be trained properly. We don't have the infrastructure to train people. That's the reason why people from other companies do certain jobs because in their

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: There's training to do those things. So you can't send everybody away and say, well we're gonna put uh, Jim, Bob in this position 'cause Jim Bob is going to need about four years to catch up to where they were.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Like you gotta, and, and if you put a, a damn McMahon in charge of Department of Education, you think more money is gonna be pumped into public schools for STEM programs? No, we barely have the money for the STEM programs we have now.

Bruce Anthony: Oh damn. McMahon it, when she was head of the small business association and the first administration, first time he was [00:40:00] president, I was like, that makes sense. Like, 'cause she and her husband help run and build a multi-billion dollar company, so that makes sense. 'cause they started out literally as a small business.

So that would make sense. What the hell does she know about education?

Jay Aundrea: No.

'cause you know, her kids, her kids ain't been nowhere near a public school.

Bruce Anthony: Nope, not a one. I mean, they are educated. The kids are absolutely educated. I'm not knocking their education basically, man. He did go to Eastern Carolina University. I think he did. I think, I think his daddy, when he found out he had a illegitimate son. I, you know what, that was a dig. I didn't even have to do that.

But he's a dirty, disgusted man. But as, as we talk about labor shortages,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: we told you so

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

We told you so.

Bruce Anthony: we told you

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Like literally any movie that like, like I [00:41:00] feel like this, this has played out, and a fictionalized version of this is played out. Before, like, what if all the women left? What if all the minorities left? Like, what if, you know, what would happen? How would society ultimately collapse?

Because it, it turns out we all actually need each other. And, uh, DEI is important, uh, for, uh, fostering, oh, I don't know, innovation and, and, and, you know, that that's actually important. Like I feel like that's played out several times and it's always a disaster. So I, yeah, none of this feels real thought through, like, none of this, not, not, not the brightest minds that came up with these solutions,

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, well speaking of not the brightest minds, we were all caught up in the [00:42:00] rapture.

Jay Aundrea: the

Bruce Anthony: We go get to that next,

Bruce Anthony: alright, Jay.

The Viral Rapture Prophecy That Took Over TikTok 🌟🙏✨

Bruce Anthony: A viral TikTok trend emerged in late September, 2025 around the claim that the rapture, the Christian belief that true believers will be taken to heaven before the apocalypse would occur on September 23rd and possibly September 24th. This trend originated from a prophecy by South African speaker Joshua Malecha, who shared a YouTube video claiming he received a revelation from Jesus that the rapture would happen on those dates, which would align with Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish New Year.

Well, Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year. Uh, so people, I. Were all over TikTok. Some were mocking, some were taking it very [00:43:00] seriously,

Jay Aundrea: Mm-hmm.

Bruce Anthony: rapture was coming. There was some town, uh, in Africa. I think they were all in the woods ready to get carried up to the rapture. And ladies, gentlemen, with the rapture is, is like, it's the end of times,

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

Bruce Anthony: various versions of what the Raptor is, but the second coming, the antichrist, no, the second coming.

No. The antichrist

Jay Aundrea: Yeah.

I don't know. It is. It is every, it is

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Is the dead souls rise up to heavens first and then all of Jesus Jesus's true believers rise up while everybody else is left here to rot on hell on Earth. And a lot of, especially evangelical Christians, because this is more prevalent. A belief here in the US and I'm not gonna get started again on US Christianity, which I think [00:44:00] is, yeah, let's just move on.

But anyway, uh, evangelicals believe this. So they are often, like, there were some people that were given their last like little messages and praying to Jesus that, Hey, just leave this TikTok page available for those that are left here on Earth. 'cause I don't think my uncle, Ray, Ray and my brother Joe going to make it to heaven in the rapture.

When Faith Meets Reality: The Truth About Religious Freedom 🙏⚖️✨

Bruce Anthony: And I always find this funny 'cause why do people think that they're automatically gonna get to heaven? There's so many people that I go to church and praise the Lord every day, and I, there's one particular person. I'm like, why do you think you're going to heaven? 'cause I go to church every Sunday and I give, and I give, you know, I, I follow Jesus' teachings.

I was like, we have a lot of conversations. I don't think you follow a lot of Jesus' teachings, but please gimme some examples of how you follow Jesus' teachings. Well, I give money to the nuns all the time. Well, the nuns took a vow before God. It was basically poverty, nuns and priests kind of do that thing.

[00:45:00] So that's great that you give money to the nuns. God bless you. You can't buy your way into heaven. Do you give money to the poor because

they're specifically taking a, a life of, what's the word? When you take a life of being poor?

Jay Aundrea: Poverty,

Bruce Anthony: Yeah, but it's a vow. Poverty. Okay, that's the expression. They specifically took a vow, poverty to service the Lord.

Now there are people out here. That didn't take that vow. Poverty, the living in poverty, that could use some help. So don't you think you'll be better suited to donate the money that you were going to be donating to those people in need? Kind of like what Jesus' teachings are, as opposed to you giving it to the nuns trying to buy your way into heaven.

And that's your first example of how I'm gonna get to, that's the reason why I'm going to heaven. 'cause I'm a good Christian. I give money to the, to the nuns. I, I just find the hypocrisy [00:46:00] Christians. Some Christians, not all, some, they're just like, you know, you going to need to string your life up in order to get to heaven.

You need to straighten your life up to, in order to get to heaven. You ain't guaranteed a slot.

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. Also, guys, hey, uh, it appears, uh, in the Bible a couple times, but if you wanna see the exact reference is Matthew 24 36, where Jesus. Says, no man knows the day or the hour. What he is talking about is that only God knows when he will return. Not the angels, not even himself. So how is the Lord going to tell you when he's coming back, when even he said, nobody knows the day or the hour, y'all.

We ain't gonna, it's gonna be, it's gonna be a surprise, y'all. I'm sorry. I don't, [00:47:00] it's gonna be a surprise. And that's, I feel like that's kind of the point because you can't, they, you don't get to get ready for it. You either got your house in order or you don't,

Bruce Anthony: Mm

Jay Aundrea: you don't get to get ready for it. You don't get to get ready to meet your maker.

Bruce Anthony: mm.

Jay Aundrea: ready or you ain't. Okay. And a lot of y'all, y'all, y'all ain't ready, okay?

Bruce Anthony: I'm not throwing stones because if it, if it happened yesterday, we, we we're recording this on the 24th or if it, if it happens later tonight. 'cause they said the 23rd or 24th. 'cause Rosh Hashanah was yesterday and today. Okay. Uh, I ain't, I ain't gonna make it. I know

it.

Jay Aundrea: think you, I think you will. I

Bruce Anthony: I,

Jay Aundrea: will.

Bruce Anthony: I don't know. I I was sinning just this morning.

I was sinning and didn't,

Jay Aundrea: We all, we are, we all literally are like, that's, that's kind of the point that we all are, we all are [00:48:00] centering, and the point is not to get too religious,

but I'm just telling

Faith Check: Are You Really Following Jesus' Path? 🙏✝️💭

Jay Aundrea: you, I'm just telling you that the teachings of Jesus and Christianity is the, the Jesus died because we sin and for our sins.

So that we could be forgiven. We're for, but that doesn't mean that we are not gonna sin. We are, we are definitely, definitely, definitely going to do it. It's my opinion. This is just my opinion, y'all. This is not, uh, this is not like some, I'm saying this is fact or anything. It's my opinion that Adam and Eve was an experiment to see maybe if I give them everything perfect harmony, perfect peace, perfect everything, and just give them one rule. Don't touch this tree that I put in the middle of this garden with delicious apples in it. If I, let's see if maybe it's [00:49:00] because humans, they're not living a perfect life. Let's give them a paradise and see if they'll sin. We did it immediately. So

Bruce Anthony: Wasn't immediate.

Jay Aundrea: it wasn't, it didn't take that long, I don't think. I don't think it took that long.

Okay. And so, okay, well, that experiment was a failure. So it is, it is in our nature to sin, we're gonna do it. You do it without even realizing it.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah,

Jay Aundrea: So, yeah. That I, I don't, yeah, guys, it is gonna be a surprise. It's just, it's, it's gonna be a surprise. So like, I don't, and I don't know, the world might have nuclear war before it even happens, so who, who even

knows?

Bruce Anthony: be the rapture

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. That might be it.

Bruce Anthony: But I'm caught up in the rapture. I keep singing Anita Bakers caught up in the rapture in my head. But

Jay Aundrea: Because this is, because this is ridiculous.

Bruce Anthony: it was ridiculous. And I saw it trending and I was like, [00:50:00] what the hell is this? And, and of course there's people that. Took it seriously and got their bunkers ready for certain family members that they said it wasn't going, wasn't gonna make it.

Also hate to be the bearer of bad news for a lot of people in this country that did not realize this to be the case. Part of the reason that the United States is so, so supportive of Israel is because evangelical Christians believe because of the rapture that it's going to happen on Israel's land. And so that's the only reason why they want to protect that land. It's not for to to, to make sure the Jewish people have a state that's not what it is, because they wanna make sure that land is protected so that they can get there and get caught up in the rapture.

Jay Aundrea: [00:51:00] If that's the re that you ain't going.

The Real Reason Evangelicals Support Israel: Truth Revealed! 🕊️✡️💫

Bruce Anthony: Uh, well, uh, that's, I've seen that, I've seen that in many articles and many documents. A lot of, even a lot of American evangelical Christians make that trip to Israel and they go on, this is going to be the land of the battlefield. They had movies made about this, where this is like this huge epic battlefield of the rapture and everybody's called up.

Yep. That's, that's the reason why they support Israel. It is not to support Jewish people to have a Jewish state. It is for their

Jay Aundrea: Right. And so if you don't have that kind of, I'm trying to think of the right word, but like if you don't come at it in good faith, like you believe the Jewish people should have. A Jewish state, like if you're not coming at it in good faith, if you're coming at it in bad faith [00:52:00] you already lost

Bruce Anthony: But they don't believe that because they go to church every Sunday and they believe that they're good Christians.

Jay Aundrea: and, and the bunkers and all of the, listen, this is not Mad Max. If you've ever read what the apocalypse is gonna look like and gonna be like, ain't a bunker in the world.

Bruce Anthony: It ain't the movie. This is the end. Remember the movie?

Jay Aundrea: yeah, even, even, even that, right? A bunch of people just got swallowed up into the ground. So if you think your underground bunker, it's gonna save you.

It's not like

the beginning of that movie was a bunch of people being swallowed up into the ground. So like, you know, I like it. If you think of, if you think a crossbo at a bunker that's going help you. And a lifetime, uh, supply of beans is going to get you through it. It's not, it's supposed to be the end of the world, the end of [00:53:00] it.

Nobody, we're not gonna survive that.

Bruce Anthony: if my life is being trapped in a bunker with only beans, with the way my stomach work,

go ahead and take me out. 'cause that

Jay Aundrea: go Go, ahead and

Bruce Anthony: in.

Jay Aundrea: me go, go ahead and let me

Go It's going be funky as hell in that bunker. And there's, and the, and the ventilation ain't great. There's obviously ventilation because we suffocate, but it ain't

Bruce Anthony: It ain't great.

It ain't

great. Oh man. Ladies and gentlemen, we're not laughing at your belief,

Jay Aundrea: No.

Bruce Anthony: but we are. No, we're not laughing. We're not laughing at your belief. We're

laughing at

Jay Aundrea: at people who believe in a higher power. Who govern themselves with, with dignity and respect for their human fellow man. [00:54:00] Right? We're not, we're not laughing at that belief, uh, or religious principles that you live by that make you not a dick. Obviously, I, I support

Bruce Anthony: I feel like you can't be talking about faith and religion and then use the word dick. I feel like

you gotta

Jay Aundrea: term.

Bruce Anthony: Mm, no, it is not, no,

Jay Aundrea: I don't think it's sl, I don't think it's slang,

is it? I don't wanna, I can't Google it because who knows what'll pop up. Like, I'm not gonna do that. I don't know. Somebody will tell us in the

Bruce Anthony: the medical term is penis.

Jay Aundrea: Oh, well, whatever. Like if, if, like anything, any, any belief structure that makes you more compassionate and kinder and, and, and community minded [00:55:00] at the, that's never a problem.

That is a plus. Okay. But when it makes you greedy and it makes you selfish and you use it to, to hold others down, you use it to oppress people. If you use it to demonize people who are different from you, that's the problem that I have. When you start saying that your belief structure tells you that I am an abomination, that's the problem that I have because my belief structure.

Tells me that we are all God's children and that we are all special. We all have purpose, and we all are supposed to be here. That's what it tells me. It also tells me I'm not allowed to judge another while I live in a glass house, [00:56:00] just around here throwing stones,

Bruce Anthony: Did they, did they, did they have glass? Did they have glass houses Back in the day? I don't think they had glass

houses.

Jay Aundrea: is you

Bruce Anthony: Yeah. Right, right. Yeah, I, I know what the saying is. But then people

Jay Aundrea: Yeah. I mean, you got nobody, I don't know anybody has a glass house.

Bruce Anthony: no. Well,

Jay Aundrea: not a good idea.

Bruce Anthony: well, it's a lot of glass around it. A lot of these beach houses got glass, you know, windows head, you know, ceiling, the floor windows.

Jay Aundrea: mean, I guess you could call a greenhouse, a glass house. A lot of greenhouses are glass. I, I, I don't know. Listen, that's not the point. The point is, anything that makes you a better human to other humans is never a problem.

Bruce Anthony: Yeah.

Jay Aundrea: Anything that makes you think that you are in some way superior to other humans is a problem,

Bruce Anthony: you ain't lying.

Jay Aundrea: and that's no belief structure that I believe in.

Bruce Anthony: Praise the [00:57:00] Lord. Normally I would ask you if you got anything to say, but I think you said it.

Jay Aundrea: I, I ain't got nothing else.

Bruce Anthony: That that's, yeah, that's all right. But you, you came with it fine, thunder. We came in here like fire and can't speak. Right.
