is the people can do themselves. And if government would shut the doors and sneak away for about three weeks, we'd never miss them.

Our biggest problem is that we have built a permanent structure of government, federal, state, and local, the permanent employees,

and they've come to the place that they actually determine policy in this country more than does the Congress of the United States.

There are 14.5 million public employees in the United States. That's quite a voting block.

And the bureaus and agencies, not in Washington, I heard you talking earlier about some of the

research programs. What would you say if I told you about one, a study in which this was called the demography of happiness?

And in this study, the government found out that young people are happier and old people.

And they found out that people that earn more are happier than people that earn less.

And they found out that well people are happier than six people.

That's good.

This was $249,000 to find out it's better to be rich, young, and healthy than old poor.

Has nothing changed in the last 40 years?

What did we find out before Thanksgiving?

The NIH spending millions on finding out if what puffer fish react badly to cocaine or not?

Government is still out of control.

Are we stuck in a chronic hysteresis?

What is the future of conservatism? That was, of course, the great Gipper Ronald Reagan on the Johnny Carson show. There is none better to discuss than the man who literally wrote a library on Ronald Reagan. The latest is on his arch enemy, the zombie who is Karl Marx. The book is The Devil and Carl Marx.

Professor Paul Kengor. Welcome back to America First.

It is great to be with you again, sir. And congratulations on your appointment by President-elect Donald Trump.

That is, that you are the perfect person for that position.

That is far too kind.

Far too kind.
