The following is a transcript from the Pro America Report.
Welcome, Welcome, welcome. Ed Martin here on the Pro America Report. Great to be with you today. Hey, if you’re listening to the program live right now, ProAmericaReport.com, You can go there and sign up for the daily e-mail. The daily WYNK. I’m also doing this with a little video I had some of you all tell me. Hey, while you’re doing this, do some video, jump out there. So I thought I’d record this while I’m doing it because I’m sitting here at the at the computer getting ready for the show and. I have some great guests today.
We’ll talk on the pro-life issue. We’ll talk about that. What happened over the weekend? I think it was late Friday, decision from the US Supreme Court, not really a decision we’ll get to that.
We’ll also catch up with our friend Cheryl Chumley, who’s over at The Washington Times, the editorial page, online editorial page editor. She is really cool. She has her own blog and does great stuff, and we’ll talk with her, but.
What you need to know today? Ohh and of course we will later on in the program talk about Ray Epps on 60 minutes and how it’s very easy to follow the narrative machine as it uses big government, big media and big tech to force a narrative on the American people. When you see 60 minutes join in, you realize, huh, something’s going on. What is it? What’s going on? Well, I think there’s some desperation and some fear about what’s happened with the January 6th hearings. What’s happened with some of the lawsuits. The truth is percolating, and even though Ray Epps admitted nothing last night and there was no change in the sort of facts that have been presented, a lot of questions remain and we’ll talk about why it’s the dog that doesn’t bark. It’s the what remains unsaid as the the cleverest of intelligence community operatives and people that are working in that field tell us one thing. It’s not that the one thing is a lie. It’s what they haven’t told us. And we’ll talk about that.
But first, what you need to know, I, I I couldn’t resist the headline for this WYNK today is a Jimmy Carter is messing up America one more time. Now you know I’m of the old school. I’m very careful when people die. I don’t like to say too many bad things about them certainly. And I don’t know Jimmy Carter. I’ve never met him. I’ve read stories about him, I’ve seen things, but he has been for the better part of 30 or 40 years as a public figure, he was a failed President, he obviously was in over his head, even though he had an extraordinary career as a young naval officer. I mean extraordinary. Meaning he was highly trained and had succeeded in the Georgia State Senate and then as governor being elected. I don’t know whether he was good as senator or a good governor. I don’t even know if he was a good naval officer, but he had credentials when he ran for president. But for 30 or 40 years now. He has been what I would say is the softener. As the Democrats have, in my opinion, and what what I see have as they’ve slid towards far left on issues, extremists, extremists on abortion, extremists on sexuality, extremists on taking away from parents, their rights, extremists on racism, Joe Biden had a whole career where he was harder on African Americans in the inner cities than almost anybody, and they’re they’re the structural, systemic racism of our school systems. That’s all been given a softener by sweet Jimmy Carter and his wife and his his ministry. He was a a Deacon or an elder in his church, you know. And he’s he’s a nice guy. And he when he got out of office, he wasn’t bitter. He didn’t question the election. He just went off and started building houses, you know, Habitat for Humanity was one of his great focuses. He has been the great. The great softener of the reputation of Democrats, in the face of a history of of terrible racism and voter fraud and all other things Democrats did, and to a a current administration that has been as corrupt with the small c meaning transferring wealth to winners and losers and attacking the American people with their policies. As anybody any administration could be, and and Carter’s done that all along.
He’s up for one more effort to mess up America, and it’s a big deal. And I’m telling you this it’s being done intentionally. There have been a round of stories about Jimmy Carter entering hospice. OK, so he’s almost 100 years old. He has been sick in the past and about two months ago now. It was announced that he was going into Hospice and you say, well, that’s the end of his life. How sad. You know we should and there Was a series of stories almost the first story out there was Joe Biden bragging about the fact that Jimmy Carter asked him to speak at his funeral but be as it may, that was embarrassing for everybody except Joe Biden, who seems to be beyond Embarrassment. Embarrassment at this point.
But what what’s going on here is we have an issue at the end of life for so many of our, our, our seniors, the people that have honored us with their service and their life and have lived into their years, golden years like we never expected before. We have this population of of aging out, people that are living into their 70s, eighties, 90s with more health and more healthcare and more options and more quality of life. And there is a movement and the movement began in the late ’70s and it’s a movement for Hospice. Now Hospice in the late ’70s was started in America. By a Catholic woman. A Catholic woman in the late ’70s went over to England, where Hospice had started. She came back to America and she started the Hospice. Movement in America. She was a a educated in other schools, but she did her her one of her residencies at that time, a few years before at Georgetown University and the president of Georgetown University, encouraged her to do this.
And Hospice was about dignity. It was not about hastening death. It was not about money. But Hospice has become a massive money maker for lots of either for profit companies or nonprofit companies that are masquerading as nonprofits when they’re making lots of money. How so?
Well, Medicare is in the act, so government’s picking winners and losers pay, who to pay, and the the effort is to hasten death. And it’s happening all the time. You don’t have to look at the physician assisted suicide movement to see how troubling it is at the end of life to have people whose priority is to stop the burden on our systems, healthcare and otherwise, of old People. And it’s happening all the time. So now flash forward.
Most people go to Hospice. You’re required to have a diagnosis of six months to live. So it’s at the end of your life, the doctor must say, well, your cancer has gotten so far. We can’t treat it. Your Alzheimer’s, your heart disease, it’s gone so far. We can’t treat it. You have six months or less to live. That’s the requirement. Of a diagnosis. And then most people you got between 90 and 120 days is how long people live and there’s payments for that. But here’s what’s going on. Jimmy Carter is living a lot longer in Hospice than most people expected, and now there are glowing stories saying how wonderful Hospice is and how wonderful the system is and how great it works, the current system. And the current system is hastening death far too often and getting people rich far too often, and why? It’s unregulated. You you at the end of a life. If someone’s only gonna live for 90 more days, the value of their life according to the the law and to to insurance companies is less. And therefore the liability is less. And so that you don’t have to worry about it so much, because if you lose the last two weeks of your life, it’s cut short by hastening death. It’s hard to have a, a, a criminal, a a civil complaint. Against someone for that, what was the value? You know, what’s the cost? That’s what’s going on. So unregulated, very profitable. And the secular values of our culture are overriding. But here’s what I wanna tell you.
Jimmy Carter is being used, his end of his life to to promote the Hospice over and over. Over the past four days it has said Jimmy Carter was the real inspiration. As president, he was the one that signed the 1982 law that created Hospice. Except he wasn’t president in 1982, he wasn’t. It was Reagan. And Reagan signed at a time where we knew again, this Catholic woman had started Hospice in America and what she knew was we needed to take care of these people. We couldn’t let these people die without dignity. We should certainly shouldn’t be wanting them to hasten their own death.
I’m telling you right now, Jimmy Carter is being used, or maybe he’s a part of it, to promote a worldview that is secular and it is payment driven and it is for people to make wealth and hasten death. It is not the values of Judeo Christians. It’s not the values of just humanists. It’s the values of secularism. It’s the values that are overriding and what you’re worth, what your utility is, and what’s happening in our community. It is very, very disturbing that we have this set of factors. That are happening in this country and and my, so,
My wife, who’s a a physician who cares for seniors, that’s her main focus. She actually turned to me the other day and she said they’re doing this on purpose. This is this is her idea. I should tell you, her idea on this topic. She said they’re doing this on purpose. They’re doing this on purpose to make it look like Hospice is working for people. To make it look like Hospice is gentle and wonderful and loving. If Jimmy Carter did It, he used to build houses. Habitat for Humanity. He’s a nice guy. He wasn’t a philanderer like Bill Clinton. He wasn’t a a loudmouth like uh Obama or Trump. He he just a he wasn’t a a ding dong like a Biden. He was just a nice guy and he used this to to great. It was great forever and everybody should use Hospice. Everybody should be a part of that system and it’s again.
The values underlying it are deeply, deeply disturbing, and it’s being used. Ohh so my wife’s point I said you think so? I said looking. I was looking at all these things. The error about 1982 and all, and she said of course. And then she said because you can’t trust what they’re telling you is true at all. It’s what they’re trying to push you into, meaning the media. And that’s right. And that’s right. And so watch the stories. No one will say a bad thing about Jimmy Carter when he dies. They might talk about his presidency, and I won’t either, probably, but I can tell you what they will do.
They’ll be writing story after story as they’re doing right now. Look for it now about how wonderful Jimmy Carter is, and how Hospice is working. And it’s a plan. It’s a part of hastening death for our seniors, a value in valuing them based on the utility and limiting the costs. It should be very, very concerning for all Americans, alright, that’s what you need to know.
We’ll come back. We’ve got a lot more today. Thanks for tuning in. Don’t forget visit proamericareport.com. Ed Martin Here on the Pro America Report.
