"And we whatever these numbers yesterday, and it's really mind boggling, but I think now that I've had a chance to think about this, I've had a chance to stew to percolate to marinate on what we learn yesterday. I've come up with a couple of thoughts here. First of all, to everyone's surprise, the people, the demographic, most likely not to repay their loans. In fact, are the people who can afford to repay their loans. The people that are repaying their loans happen to be middle class working class, even lower income people. So their meeting their obligations, while the wealthy are not. And I have a theory about this. I think it's about upbringing. I think this is something that has learned from mom and dad. And mom and dad, by and large are teaching these middle class moms and dads and working class moms and dads are teaching their kids that if you go out there and you check out a loan, you sign your name on the dotted line, then you have to meet that obligation and you've got to do whatever it takes to beat that obligation. If it means if it means taking a second or a third job, then you gotta do it. Now look, I was, I grew up in a blue collar home. My dad was an electrician. He didn't want to go to college. And there was a time when dad did really well. He was an electrician. And things were going good in the stern's household. Mom was a stay at home mom. She was a housekeeper and the domestic goddess as dad called her. And she raised us. And dad went to go work. Well, there was a time back in the 70s and you remember this if you grew up during the Carter years where the economy took a tumble. And dad lost his job and at times were tough, but my dad didn't go looking for a handout. You know what he did? He had to go and get two jobs. And at one time, he was working three jobs. And why did he do that? Did he do it because he just wanted to work all the time? No. He had obligations. He knew that there were bills that had to be paid. You had to put food on the table. You had to pay the mortgage. So dad did what it took to get that done. That's the American way. That's the American spirit. You work your butt off. You go to some of these European countries where everybody pays and the cologne and they drink wine all day and they take the siestas and they work what three hours a day. But that's not who we are as Americans. We bust our butts, we do what needs to be done, we take care of our responsibilities. There was a time in this country where men were men of their word. When there was a handshake deal, that's all you needed. You didn't need to sign some sort of a contract, a man's word meant something. At least that's the way it used to be. But that's not the way it is now. But I think a lot of those things are not being taught to these young kids that maybe are growing up in the mcmansions. They've got the parents are members of the country club. They get everything handed to them on some sort of a silver platter. And these are the same people, by the way, who are become establishment Republicans. They hang out at the country clubs, they don't care about people like you. They just, they look at us as servants. That's how the establishment Republican looks at all of us conservatives. The hardworking people. The Chamber of Commerce, crowd. That's who they are. That's who they bow down to. Not us. So anyway, I'm going through all of this and somebody sent me a note last night and said starts. You got to understand something. It's not just, it's not just the people taking up the loans. The entire university and college system, that military industrial complex, well this is an academic complex is completely corrupt and it has nothing to do with the woke ideology or the fact they're raising a generation of Americans to hate America. There's a lot more going on there. The amount of money that is being squandered on crap. And I'm talking crapola. It's unbelievable. Now grace baker, you just graduated a couple of years ago. You went to a university in Memphis, Tennessee. Yes. Did you live on campus? Or did you commute? I lived on campus and then I lived off campus with a couple of girls. I'm curious, what was your experience like living in the dorms? Oof. It was, it was a modest dorm. I had a decent roommate and it was a nice experience, but it was nothing fabulous. I mean, you had the basic cop bed. You had brick walls, you had to bring your own mini fridge a little sink, nothing fancy though, really. So it's pretty much bare bones. It was bare bones. Because a 100%. So you're the anomaly, because a lot of these schools now have amenities. Yeah, no, we didn't have amenities, not in the building. No. I mean, back in the day, it was like, you had, you didn't have a private room, you had two, at least another roommate, some cases you had four guys in there, and then you had the bathroom of the showers that were down the hall. Yep, that's what I had. All right, so bare bones. Bare bones. That's not the way it is in a lot of these schools, where they're not universities, they're resorts. I know. I read about some of them and I'm like, wow. And we're having to pay for all of this. Why should we have to pay for the gender studies majors and the goat yoga people? Is that a thing? It's a thing. Google it. It's a thing. There are some schools that are actually advertising infinity pools. You say, what is an infinity pool?

"I saw rick tidwell at the laundromat last night and i was heloc checking him out. I just kept staring at him and he played like i wasn't even there. I be like that then all right enough of that. Welcome back to this. Show rectal with you. Coast to coast and around the world on the american forces radio network. It's our pleasure to walk into. This show matias zeroed. And he's here to talk about The movie about him called super frenchie. And it's going to be released in virtual cinemas and video on demand on Friday he is a ski base. Jumper from labelle fronts. Matias i know you were born in normandy. So when did you get down to the mountains. When did you start getting into all that. It was so my parents had a vacation home in the mountains So that's how we you know we'd go there. It was really a family owned we lived in normandy would spend every every holiday in the mountains winter or summer right and so. That's kind of how. I i to the medicine wheel and then later on the france that we were closer to the mountains so go there every weekend. Then they push ahead. You sail their their home because they couldn't afford it anymore but by then got picked up by Academy program through the public school system in the else and i just became a mouth in kid by adoption by birth but as a northern california guy. I would ski at Tahoe i never had money to go to vail or aspen or banff or anything like that but for you at was a sasha. They by what was that like having done is beautiful. Little You know mountain town right in front of all of mobile. You know a lot of people. When they think of more blended highest peak in western europe they they go to chamonix technically a little closer but technically the summit of more as part of the town of javale. And so you. You looking The whole West base of the mountain range. And so it's you can't escape it you know. The town is at three thousand thirty five hundred feet. Roughly about a thousand meters fifteen hundred and then the summit goes all the way to almost sixteen thousand. So you have these towering magnificent mountain where you look. It's just it's just bear reminding you of your place you are right and speaking of mom block or as we call it the matterhorn you ten years ago jumped off it. Could you tell that kind of got everything going right before that. I did the idea. Actually i curse sanction. Yeah yeah. I completed the trilogy ski beach. Something of a metal horn animal and The i wasn't the first one ski base. Jump off with four guys to do it and so it was kind of like falling the footsteps of heroes fiction conti and jt oems and jarring giveaway. Who's a french ebay jumper and Who inspired chain. And then after the eiger. Oh wow i gotta go. I gotta do the the matterhorn. That's the next logical progression matterhorn. It it worked but it was a really close call. I hit a rough ride before jumping into the north face. It's kinda outta control card willing to the north face but it's still able to put my parachute safety inside down the valley and then after this You know it took me about eight years to finally get the the jump from the summit of as well. So you know when you get into that kind of sporty ends up being a studio cook asian and it's It's a never ending journey. Y'all have things on you this right. Because it's their type of thing and let the people who don't know base is an acronym it stands for buildings antenna spans and earth or cliffs and correct me. If i'm wrong you only carry one parachute right. Yeah you don't have a back. He's only one parachute and so you you pack it like a reserve emergency parachute when you jump off a cliff. We're building if something goes wrong with your your parachute. You wouldn't have time to deploy a backup airship anyway so you only have one has to be perfect and then tell us about the wing suit because that looks so much fun but it also looks terrifying. I always wonder. How do you land in the wing suit wing. You jump off and you fly as she you know. It's not too hard. You can't look what you want to go and you just say there and then once you get The minimum altitude. That you go. I mean lower altitude and you. She could be pro your parachutes and then you can then take the flying parachutes but i i do enjoy. You know i might have a couple of hundred jumps with it but Ski base jumping. I think i prefer it It's really more my craft in what i really enjoy doing That guy lifetime links you but ski base jumping has. It's actually a lot more dangerous than we'd seen. Because you have a lot more variables. But i guess both boys you can make that you want him to be a whether you know. How are you gonna put the question. Mark more questions for zero super frenchie. Coming out friday when i look at You know a couple of years ago. Is it lukens from twenty-five thousand feet. He you know he's on oxygen and he's off oxygen and he just basically lands in a net. Is that something. That intrigues you. Or did you think that was insane. I know i know. Luke personally actually have jumped at him. Several times His drug that. You are way i did. And i knew he had it he's He's a very skilled professional and he really put all the pieces of the puzzle together. One step at a time. So i knew that you know he. He didn't just jump out of a plane right. You know right away lane and the nets. He did some some some actress. Guide and opening lower lower tried to target on how to get to net and had all these all these impairment paramaters in ducks in a row. And so he was able to do it flawlessly. And yeah i I was definitely Anxious watching the videos because there's no margin for error right. But i knew he had it under control and and that's the thing you know. It's not not as slammed on its If the journey you have to you have to prepare yourself for years and what you to do things correctly. Otherwise you may not survive. I've had travis pastrana on the show. Of course he is mostly known for his tricks on his Dirt bike but he added thing where he jumped out of a plane with. No shoot and you know big smile on his face doing some twists and turns and then like whatever halfway down somebody handed him a shoot which looks terrifying but for him. He's a thrill seeker. Which you call yourself a thrill seekers that just too simplistic now competing because again. I'm not as a here of drilling junkie. I'm no daredevil. I accept the risk. The risk is variable and my existential quest. Yeah so. I think when i was in high school i saw that bond movie the spy who loved me. And he's in that ski chase and then he goes over the cliff and the union. Jack parachute deploys. That was the first time. I saw anything like that. Same.
