All we becoming at this is for you to show host and all we've becoming an entitlement society a nation of takers instead all of make it -- of 46 million people -- on food stamps what is now called the snap.

Program that is what is the mindset of people get everything food housing cell -- -- health insurance from the government.

A week different country.

Joining us now is -- -- who was once been that -- that situation -- always a pleasure to have you with especially since you reformed welcome back the agency again.

Now it is a serious question.

You -- but I am -- California now found last year that you really well I'm not welcome into your circle through -- and I that are either about a California I'm very worried about the formerly golden -- will put that on one side for a second now look and do you think would you make the judgment that America has changed that we are now a different country from what we -- 4510 years ago that we're a nation of speakers and not make it's got.

Unfortunately that is true when you look at -- and -- Ronald Reagan was president we had most of Merrill bull.

Aged adults married they were about 75% numbers now we're down to 50% so we have a lot of people -- alone.

We also look at our -- like birth rates.

When Ronald Reagan was president that we had about one.

What was about.

-- 10% are so.

Out of marriage.

And now we're looking at 40% out of marriage so -- become a very different country we've also become a country that.

Expects.

To get benefits and when you expect to get benefits somebody has the deliver those benefit -- -- -- -- your employer and or your government has.

President Obama encouraged that by giving more stealth.

And encouraging people to vote for the guy who gives you more stuff.

Well he hasn't currencies actually put on steroids but it's not over -- that this has happened since the great society we have -- out these ideas in.

In our youth especially -- our government schools that they are entitled to benefit whether it's your employer and or your government giving you those benefits.

So what within -- last warriors is much more activity.

When you have Peter and Paul and it's okay to take repeated -- pay Paul yes you end up with more -- and so that's where we are today.

Although 12 former star you don't know disagree with the site channels and I absolutely not but he did you don't I don't know what we do about this.

You that you say what what what do you say -- I'm saying the society has changed -- -- now a nation of taken is how do we change that Charles well.

You know when you think free like you know like Mitt Romney saying everyone wants freeze that's sort of short get -- tentative I think buy one get one free.

That gets our attention we all want free things however to -- point.

You know when people accept this when you accept the idea that hey I can just have this stuff there are consequences to it and by the way you know if you if you are on free health care.

And -- -- left reverend your kid to born under that system.

It's not a good thing to be on that it's and that the you know when you get stuck in the environment your -- hurting people more on the helping them in the long run okay I'll take -- point.

I -- you don't even more but these are more questions -- -- -- more question so what begins to happen over time as you think that it's free but there are great costs when you look inside of every urban center you see 100% of government takeover of the health care industry and this is not a pretty picture.

I you do not have specialists like OB GY and doctors you don't have any type -- Of a quality care.

We don't have to go to Cuba in Canada the thing what happens when government takes object here on the eliminate any and every -- -- in this country about thirty seconds how do you stop giving.

And still get elected.

You well you fight for school choice vouchers and you change the culture again you make sure that people in the -- -- in our schools understand -- as -- brought up understand that it is.

-- that there is something -- -- in the end -- that those things are more questions at an economic question.

Will always liked -- when you bring us back to the moral compass and we like that stuff -- But there's not a way otherwise very sounds good -- -- -- that -- -- money all day long but if you don't mix it with morality you've got a problem.

Stop -- absolutely Mexico and practices even if you are in California thank you present.
