Hello, I’m George Caylor and this is Tea With George. And today, I’m with Diane Gruber, retired attorney out on the west coast of Washington state, and our dear friend professor Steve Putney won’t be joining us today because he’s with his dad. His dad is having a medical emergency. It’s a tough season of life. I lost my dad when I was 72 and he was over 100. And when you’ve got a parent, or parents, into your own old age, it seems like you’re just going to have them always and then you don’t. And everything, the dynamics change. But Diane is more than enough to make this an interesting, interesting half hour with me today. Diane, would you talk to us again about your own broadcast and what you write about and give a quick description of how they can find you, because I know they’re going to want to.

0:01:10

D

Well, I’m on Substack. You can look me up under Diane L. Gruber or America First Reignited. And basically, I, I want to get facts out there. They are being hidden. I’m just one person. But I can still get some facts out there so people aren’t being… how do I say, polluted and propagandized with all the false narratives that are, that the big media is putting out there. Whenever the democrats issue a false narrative, all the big media walks with it. And I got so tired of it so I’m writing for Substack, just lots of different topics. I’m interested in a lot of things and when something’s driving me crazy, the, the lies out there, I research it and I write about it.

0:01:57

G

And people read about it. I love your column. I love your website. And you’re more than a match for me by the way. You and I are a lot alike. I’m interested in all things and I never spend a moment when I’m not trying to learn something new. Even here, I’m pushing 80. But I want to learn something new every day.

0:02:16

D

Yes.

0:02:17

G

And whenever I talk to you, I do learn something new. Last week we were talking about reparations, reparations to whom and from whom. And professor Putney was talking about how this is just plain silly. It’s absurd that we’re going to pay reparations to people who never were slaves. We’re going to pay them from the taxpayer who never owned a slave. And as a matter of fact, in the first early days of our republic, Irish slaves outnumbered African slaves by a great margin. And the Civil War, it really didn’t need to happen. Slavery would have ended on its own without millions of people dying and the country so torn up. But Mr. Lincolns war had to happen, I guess. He issued the proclamation… Emancipation Proclamation about three years into the Civil War. And so, it was more about taxes than it was slavery. And now they’re talking about reparations which is to me just another form of socialism. How do we distribute from those who have to those who don’t have, for whatever reason they don’t have. But they’re going to blame it on white people. And next we were talking about, okay if we’re going to give reparations what percentage will we give to people who, let’s say they’re ¼ black, or 1/8 black, or these kids that go into college and where it says race, well they identify as black, so they write down black. And so kids who… a boy who identifies as a woman puts down woman and so on. And as Steve said, absurd. Well, Diane, before we move onto some other topics, let’s finish this on reparations. What do you, what are your thoughts on that?

0:04:23

D

Well, I kind of wonder how many of your listeners know what a quadroon is. You just mentioned a quadroon, George.

0:04:31

G

I know what they are.

0:04:33

D

Yes, that’s a quadroon, under the old Antebellum system was a person who had ¼ black blood and ¾ white blood. And then octoroon had 1/8 black blood and then we’re getting really picky here. A hectaroon, I’m sorry, not pronouncing that correctly, is 1/16 black blood and this is how the cast system, I mean this made sense to people back then. I still remember from decades ago when I stumbled upon this nonsense, I’m going what the hell? What is that… what, really, are you kidding me? This is ridiculous. But this is what we’re going back to. We’re going back to a caste system, racial caste system. And of course back then, they really, they didn’t even have blood types back then. So, it was all kind of by guess and by golly in some ways based upon who allegedly your mother or your father were, or what the… I guess what the political elite assumed your mother and father were and grandparents and so forth. Well, nowadays with DNA, my goodness just think about all the little details that they can get into about one’s genetic background I mean going back like literally centuries and centuries. So, as they’re, as the left, as the democrats are saying at this racial hierarchy, this racial caste system, I wonder if, you know, eventually, it might not take too long, if they will be dividing up various other races based upon their genetic background. You know, for example, I’m assuming if they check my DNA they can find out that I come from English and Swiss and, I don’t know, a few other things, German, mixed in there. So, maybe my… under the new caste system, the democrats are setting up perhaps I would be a notch ahead of, say, an Italian American. Somebody that came from Italy like, you know, 200 years ago. Or what about I’d be a notch below… I mean with DNA my goodness we can get so specific and detailed in setting up this new system. So, I’m sure the democrats have some plans for how they’re going to do that. And… so… I know, I know. You’re laughing George, I know. But they’ll do it. I’m sure they’ll do it. They’ll use, they’ll use the DNA and it won’t be that long unless we nip this in the bud right now.

0:07:11

G

I’m not sure there is anything beyond what the democrats would do nowadays.

0:07:16

D

Yes.

0:07:18

G

It’s getting so, as Steve says, absurd. And it’s racism in its purest form. And I, I’m not sure why democrats want to divide the country, which used to be the great melting pot. Nowadays, now they don’t want to melt. They want to hate, and they want to divide. And we’re not going to be a real country anymore. Also, we’re getting… talk about dilution. The border, millions of people coming over the border. I have a good friend named Michael Enright. You’ve seen him in movies such as the, mission impossible movies playing opposite Tom Cruise and the Pirates of the Caribbean playing opposite Johnny Depp. He’s an actor who wants to. He went to Syria to fight ISIS and defend the Kurds. Well, he… five years ago, he tried to re-enter America and he can’t get back in. They’re not allowing him back in because when he was here as an actor he overstayed his visa and Turkey is having a problem, they think the Kurds are terrorist. So, they… there is a lot pressure on America not to let this American hero, Michael Enright, enter America. Well, meanwhile, millions of unvetted people are coming across the border and they’re not going to just dilute our ability to function economically, but they’re going to dilute our culture, the American melting pot culture. And it’s just… I’m not sure how we got this far. But let’s take, let’s just take a moment for our sponsor today.

Recently, we had a client come in and we were able to give them a little reprieve. They had chosen a wrong way to get it, and this was rare, but she had applied on her own and she was getting her own social security instead of applying with her husband and we were able to adjust her income… up by over 200 a month, plus she got over $24,000 as a refund from social security. And so, it was really, it really worked out for them. But everyone who is going to apply for social security, it’s a big financial decision. So, don’t make a wrong decision.

G

Now, Diane, I was talking to you earlier about what happened at East Palestine Ohio and I went to a college in Pennsylvania, Clarion state university. And it’s just on the Pennsylvania side of the border from Ohio and people in Clarion report getting sick. My friends up there are getting sick from what happened in East Palestine.

0:10:59

D

Oh, no.

0:11:00

G

And it seems to be…

0:11:01

D

How far away are they?

0:11:03

G

About 50 miles, and it’s one of the biggest coverups that I have seen. A little bit like reparations, it’s like, okay, what are the democrats doing in the background that’s going to destroy our country. I think you’re knowledgeable about what’s going on in East Palestine and I’d like your comments on this. This is an environmental disaster. Why aren’t we hearing about it on the mainstream media.

0:11:33 

D

Well, to answer that question, it’s because of, what 90-95 percent white and they voted for Trump by 70 percent. So, they are persona non grata as far as the racist Biden administration is concerned and that’s why they are not getting any relief. We already know that if they were a community that was heavily voted for either Hilary Clinton or Biden… and or they were heavily of color, I hate that term, but anyway they would have relief immediately. It is my understanding that the very first relief that any of them have received is when Trump came down. Was it yesterday or the day before? He came to town, he brought water and some other supplies and so forth. I haven’t had time to research this. But, he was the first person of any, of any note, of any importance to come there and he was the first one to bring any kind of relief. And what I can’t wrap my head around is the very fact that these people, for three weeks now, have been, literally, living in a toxic cesspool breathing this stuff, and yet, the illegal aliens who are put up in fancy hotels all over the United States, why can’t they for whatever or whoever lives there in East Palestine who wants to get out of there and breath fresh air for a few weeks, why can’t the government give them a nice motel room? As I understand it it’s not, what, a hundred miles from Pittsburg. If there’s toxic fumes in Pittsburg, if they want to live in a motel room in Pittsburgh then the federal government should be paying for that. But they’re not. They’re not even giving them any relief, is my understanding. They haven’t invited them, you know offered to send them somewhere else or whatever… especially and the children! You know perfectly well, ten 15-20 years from now, that is going to be a hot bed of cancer and I don’t know whatever ailments, respiratory problems and stuff. The federal government doesn’t care. Simply because it doesn’t fit their racist agenda. That’s, there is no other excuse for it. So, you know, have you been to Yuma lately? You can’t get a motel room in Yuma, Arizona because the federal government has booked all the motels for the illegals. This is one example, an acquaintance of mine was down there last fall. You have to go like, 50 miles way outside of Yuma to get a motel there because the federal government has got all that tax money to put up the illegals. But they have no tax money to put these honest tax paying citizens who are victims. First of all, they’re victims of the trainwreck. Okay, I’d say that wasn’t so bad, the trainwreck. But blowing up these toxins and spraying them all over the air and the water? That makes them victims of some malicious, I don’t know, some government… who would do that? I don’t understand that. Was that approved by the federal government, that these were blown, I don’t know the mechanisms there and the, you know, or if they just did it, the train people just did it on their own, I don’t know.

0:14:54

G

You know, when they set that fire, back when I was about six years old, I was in an accident on the farm where I could’ve been incinerated. A gas tank rolled over on me. And I was covered in gasoline and gasoline was running down through the…

0:15:13

D

Eww.

0:15:14

G

The field, and I have a pin in my right knee still from that. But my dad was there, and he hooked a chain to the gas tank and pulled it off me. Had there been a spark, I wouldn’t be in this conversation with you today, nor would anybody else survive that. And I saw where they set all of this on fire, on purpose.

0:15:39

D

Yes, yes.

0:15:42

G

And I, I remember back to when I was six. And by the way I don’t jog. A lot of people jog. I guess I could run if a bear was chasing me or something like that but. I can walk all day but I can’t, I don’t run very well because of the pin through my leg. But to have set that fire and to send those toxic fumes into the air and all through, all through the community, I just don’t understand it. And like you just said, about 100 percent of the people in East Palestine and that area are white. They also voted for Trump. They’re not illegal aliens. And so,

0:16:24

D

Right.

0:16:25

G

They truly are persona non grata. It almost reminds me of the Holocaust, of the world forgetting the Jews. In Germany in Poland when they were so mistreated after all they’re Jews, why not mistreat them. You know, it’s just, this a…

0:16:46

D

It’s my understanding that they didn’t even warn them. When they were about to explode all these toxins. It’s my understanding that they did not even warn the people that lived there. You know, get out of dodge, they didn’t tell them. I could be wrong on that but that was my understanding. If they gave them a warning, it was just like a few minutes warning. You know, they didn’t have time to get out of dodge. I mean its just complete, complete disregard for humanity, for human beings to be treated that way.

0:17:17

G

Well, our…

0:17:19

D

We’re supposed to be all environmentally safe and you know, we’re supposed to do all of this environmental nonsense to save this and do that, know. Hah! What a joke. They just polluted the whole community.

0:17:31

G

Well, Diane, we do have a transportation secretary. Pete Buttigieg or whatever his name is, has he been there to help out? By the way what are his qualifications? I know he ran, he ran as president and I don’t think he got any votes in the primary like Diane Gruber, ah not Diane Gruber, what’s her name? Kamala Harris, I’m thinking of famous people here.

0:18:01

D

Don’t confuse us, George.

0:18:03

G

Sorry, Diane. I’ll send you some flowers for that one.

0:18:09

D

Don’t confuse us, George. Oh, jeez what an insult.

0:18:10

G

Kamala Harris, but she got no votes whatsoever and I’m not sure why she was chosen as vice president. But what are… what are Pete’s qualifications to be our transportation secretary? Do you know of any?

0:18:24

D

Well, no. He doesn’t have any qualifications. And oh we… Pete Buttigieg was mayor of South Bend and they hated him there transportation wise because he wouldn’t repair the roads. They called him pothole Pete. And then they took down, as I understand from somebody I know who lived there, he took down town South Bend and he rearranged the streets in such a way that it just tangled up a whole down town. I can’t recall if he did one-ways or something, but it was a nightmare for anybody that had to commute into South Bend. It was a nightmare. I think he was… I heard that he has something on Biden and that’s how he ended up in that position. But they claim he got it because he’s gay. He’s a married man that’s gay and he’s outwardly flamboyant about it. And he, you know, he checked off that check mark. He didn’t have to have any experience in transportation, that’s for sure. I think it’s a throwaway. The department of transportation, my guess is anyway, has been a throwaway, oh what’s the word? You pay back somebody for political favors by giving them that job because supposedly its supposed to be a job that where you don’t have to do any work. And I recall back in Jimmy Carter’s days, back in the 70s, he made the mayor of Portland, we lived there at the time, the mayor of Portland, Jimmy Carter made him secretary of transportation, Neil Goldschmidt. What a gosh darn joke. I mean that man didn’t know anything about transportation either. But so that’s my take on department of transportation secretaries from back when Neil Goldschmidt had no expertise in transportation whatsoever. It was just some kind of a payback Carter gave Neil Goldschmidt that job. And again, I could be wrong. Maybe nowadays transportation is more important. Well, it is important. I mean look what he’s done. He’s done nothing. And he went there yesterday, and he strolled around, and he met with none of the victims. He met with no residents, nobody. He met with nobody. Even, it was my understanding, he didn’t even meet with the mayor. I mean he just did his phot op and he left. So, he didn’t bring any, he didn’t say ‘well we’re going to do this,’ you know, ‘okay we’re going to do that, we’re going to help you with this,’ no! He went there and he talked policy going forward, policy going forward. He literally said nothing, nothing people or assuage their concern, nothing. He wasn’t interested.

0:21:02

G

You know,

0:21:03

D

Well, it was just… he’d have been better off not to go at all than to say the things he said.

0:21:10

G

You know, Diane, while we’re digressing, you know two old people like us, you’re younger than I am but you always remind me of something else. Jimmy Carter was in my bible study in Atlanta and the day he announced, he was governor at the time, and the day he announced he was going for president, we were all just giggling and looking at each other laughing at Jimmy Carter president, he doesn’t hardly have the skills to be governor, let alone president. And, he only knew one person, personally he knew one person in his cabinet. All the rest were chosen for him. He went into the presidency not knowing any of his cabinet members, or much of anything else. And he was maybe the third worst president in history after Barrack Obama and now we have Biden at the very, very worst. Of course, we had some others that I don’t like either who did some bad thins to America. I was down on the Panama canal zone awhile back and the Chinese were all over the place, unloading big containers. They control the canal, and a Panamanian was talking to me and asking, can we possibly get the Americans back? And I said, no, what Jimmy Carter did is, is non-redeemable. We can’t go back. And a lot of folks don’t know it, but giving the Panama canal back was unconstitutional the way he did it. Congress was not, we didn’t have a majority in congress vote for that. It was by executive decision on Jimmy Carter’s part that the Chinese now own one of the most strategic points on the globe. And…

0:23:08

D

Yes, the western hemisphere.

0:23:11

G

The total incompetence, but I’m not sure why, it was mainly David Rockefeller, why Jimmy Carter was chosen as our president, to run as our president, or why Biden was chosen or, you know, George Soros chose Barrack Obama to be our president…

0:23:28

D

Right,

0:23:29

G

I’m not sure why these people are being chosen but the, Pete Buttigieg, I think you’re right. He fit the ah, equity and inclusion and he’s gay. And he is a, he has a male husband. And that seems to be enough. You know, while we’re on the subject, the other day, the head of our military, his names Miley, I think, Milley, Miley was it general Miley?... said that our main mission now…

0:24:00

D
 Mark Milley

0:24:01

G

Milley, he said that our main mission now is equity and inclusion. And… Elon Musk,

0:24:16

D

Yeah, that’s going to help a whole lot in the trenches isn’t it.

0:24:18

G

Eh, well Elon Musk he tweeted.

0:24:21

D

I can’t wait to have a somebody next to me in the trenches yeah.

0:24:23

G

Yeah, what is the role of our military? I thought it was to prevent wars,

0:24:28

D

Yes.

0:24:29

G

and win wars. And now its diversity, equity, and inclusion. What’s with that?

0:24:34

D

Yes. Well, and that’s nothing new. When I, I mentioned it our last podcast how the federal government started this program where they gave early outs to a lot of middle aged white guys. They gave them a bonus to retire early so that, and then all those positions that were opened up from those retirements, they made a rule that you could not put anybody in those, you couldn’t hire or promote anybody into those positions unless they had 1/8 non white blood in them. Okay, well that was in the 90s. At the same time, as I understand it, the marines were kind of doing the same thing, in a sense. Instead of choosing somebody for, let’s say promoting somebody to a sergeant because of his skill, or you know, out in the field or however they handled that, skill, merit, education, whatever… they were promoting people based on race and at that point in the 90s, it was blacks. They were pushing blacks up beyond their capabilities just because they wanted them at the sergeant’s level. And so, I mean, again I go back to this notion of when you’re in the trenches do you really care who’s next to you in the trenches, as regards to race or whatever? You want somebody next to you in the trenches that is going to stand with you and fight with you and is capable, capable of fighting with you. And at, at… at that point it doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t matter. But they push them up beyond their capabilities and that’s what they were doing in the marines. And the marines are supposed to be the toughest, the best trained. So, I mean that’s just one example. So, this DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion poppycock that we’ve only been hearing about in recent years, this has really been going on at least since the 90s in the military. And it’s gotten worse, granted, they’re not hiding it anymore. Milley’s, like you said, has come right out and said it. I mean that guy is a fruit cake. I mean there is something wrong with that man. He’s bought, he’s sold his soul. He’s a real military man from way back. Well, somewhere along the way he sold his soul just to get promoted and to get into his, the position he’s got. He sold his very soul. He knows perfectly well that that’s all nonsense, the DEI will the death of the military. Our military strength is gone. He knows that.

0:27:09

G

I think that’s been planned. And then I saw last week in New Hampshire the New Hampshire fund. It is a trust fund. It is going to be refunding teachers who teach in, new teachers who teach in New Hampshire they are going to be refunding their college tuition. And then it said whites need not apply. That is, only blacks,

0:27:38

D

Right.

0:27:39

G

Only blacks or other races, and I think that Asians were excluded as well, that if you were a new teacher in New Hampshire your college costs will be given back to you as just for teaching in New Hampshire. But not for whites. So, one again, the purest form of racism. Well, we’re coming close to our, how much time do we have here? One more minute, so Diane I’ll let you finish out our segment today and by the way I appreciate you so much. You’re doing the work of Professor Putney and yourself today. So, can you say anything that will give us a little bit of hope?

0:28:23

D

Oh gosh. That’s a hard task, there, George… You got to educate yourself, America. Find out what’s going on. Don’t let it just wash over you. Don’t just accept what they’re saying. Check into it. If something doesn’t sound logical, it doesn’t sound truthful, it isn’t logical. Or it isn’t truthful. So, investigate into it. Use your brain. Use your instincts and check into it without accepting… don’t accept anything, anything from the media, or certainly not the Biden administration. Talk about a hive of pathological lying. I mean this just blows my mind. You know, there’s nothing like a… I mean how pathological do you have to be when you’re looking somebody in the eye, or your on the microphone and you’re looking at a whole room full of reporters and you’re lying to them and they know your lying to them? And, yet, you keep on lying. I mean that goes on all the time, with the press secretary, with Biden and Buttigieg and all those other people. I mean that’s the height of pathology.

0:29:34

G

Now, Diane, that’s good advice. I’m not sure it’s uplifting advice. But it’s great advice there.

0:29:41

D

I’m sorry!

0:29:42

G

That’s okay.

0:29:44

D

You didn’t give me enough time to think about that topic.

0:29:47

G

We’re in a world of hurt right now. We’ve got to fight to save this country. Well, Diane Gruber…

0:29:55

D

We just need to investigate for ourselves.

0:29:57

G

Well, Diane, I appreciate you coming on today and our listening audience, I appreciate your tuning in. This is Tea With George. May God bless your day.

0:30:08
