Transcript

00:01

hello my name is Gordon Elaine watts

00:04

I'm from Lakeland Florida which is

00:06

between Orlando and Tampa and a good

00:09

friend Alan Collins has a ask people

00:12

that are very conservative or very

00:14

liberal or other things to weigh in on

00:16

the student loan situation okay

00:18

so here's his Facebook feed and I got an

00:23

email from him as well so um he wanted

00:26

us to tell a little bit about ourselves

00:28

okay I'm very conservative work so I say

00:31

now here's my situation I ran up $23,000

00:37

times two for the principal and I've

00:40

been paying on the thing off and on but

00:43

this this was back in 2015 I even though

00:46

I've been paying on it the 46,000 has

00:50

grown to fifty nine thousand two hundred

00:52

eighty nine dollars and 67 cents Navion

00:55

has allowed me to deferred so for better

00:58

or for worse it's larger than it was

01:00

when it began even though I paying on it

01:02

and a lot of people are even worse than

01:04

me so I'm not complaining here

01:06

although I think I'm above average so um

01:08

here I'm gonna make the case that I'm a

01:10

conservative now you would think that

01:12

since I'm one of those crazy right-wing

01:14

conservatives that I would be like a lot

01:17

of the congressmen say to beg you guys

01:20

just shouldn't have gone to college

01:21

unless you wanted to pay the debt but

01:24

there's a conservative case to be made

01:25

that those congressman's are not

01:27

conservative

01:28

there are liberal rhino's Republicans

01:30

name only

01:31

so let's take a look and see who is this

01:33

Gordon Wayne Watts character okay Google

01:36

Gordon Wayne Watts four to three shadows

01:38

so almost one the Terri Schiavo case you

01:40

you can google it you know the Google

01:42

let's take a look at number two how's

01:45

Gordon William works related to Terry

01:46

shadow now I used a third order argument

01:49

the family and other people like Jeb

01:51

Bush used to Feeney to barking I almost

01:53

won Jeb Bush god bless his liberal soul

01:56

he got clean seven to zero so um I did

01:59

better than Jeb Bush Florida Supreme

02:01

Court splits four to three on the

02:03

surprise filing I'm that Mister warrants

02:05

right there but now that's not all I'm

02:07

not just socially liberal um I ran for

02:09

state Congress I'm a supporter of the

02:11

right to bear arms

02:14

fiscally conservative you can check it

02:17

out here let's just scroll on past here

02:20

okay there's the Florida Supreme Court's

02:22

website and there are some filings of

02:24

mine so let's just go a little bit

02:27

further right here and there's the

02:28

citation for all you legal wants out

02:30

there I did better than all the other

02:32

parties and so this is my introduction

02:36

because my little phone here doesn't

02:40

really have a lot of memory I'm gonna

02:43

have to break this up into several parts

02:44

plus it gives me a chance to get each

02:46

part right so I've introduced myself as

02:49

a solid right wing nut

02:50

I mean further to the right then rush

02:53

limbaugh maybe okay now let's move on to

02:55

part two okay this is Gordon again I

02:59

forgot one thing

03:00

um I thought I established myself I

03:02

think I established myself as a right

03:04

wing nut but um lo and behold I forgot

03:07

something okay there's the citations in

03:10

the Terri Schiavo case but lo and behold

03:11

the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals let me

03:15

participate in the the gay marriage case

03:17

now they didn't get too far okay but you

03:21

know this other guy he did pretty well

03:22

but he didn't do as well as I did I was

03:26

the only non lawyer so far as anyone

03:29

knows they got permission to participate

03:31

in the gay marriage case okay there's

03:34

the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals

03:35

letter to me and here the US Supreme

03:40

Court accidentally dockets my um they

03:43

thought I was an attorney that

03:45

disappeared real quick they're not

03:47

permitted they don't allow non attorneys

03:50

or whatever and the US Supreme Court has

03:52

visited my website for some odd reason

03:55

maybe it's because um I asked them to I

03:58

don't know but that's all good so the

04:01

bottom line is now I've established

04:02

myself as a far right wing nut but

04:05

listen this now this next point is very

04:06

important I'm not gonna forget to

04:09

mention this because I wanna mention it

04:10

early on okay now this is an issue that

04:13

affects everyone right here

04:14

but look at this from Time magazine okay

04:17

four years after graduating from college

04:19

black students Oh nearly twice as much

04:22

student debt if their white peers doing

04:24

or three times is more likely to default

04:26

on these loans according to a new paper

04:27

but

04:27

Brookings Institute source black college

04:30

grads have twice as much debt as wives

04:32

but now three times is more likely to

04:34

default by Tyrion Renzulli time October

04:39

21st 2016 okay so this is from my blog

04:43

right heel here okay so so this this is

04:47

an issue that have affects minorities

04:49

and poor people it affects everyone but

04:53

again you have right-wing nuts that are

04:55

bound with the common folk down with

04:58

protecting minorities and anyone that's

05:00

messed with now moving on to broader

05:03

things now college tuition is

05:06

technically a tax because this is where

05:07

I'm going to transition into the

05:10

conservative case for Allen colleges

05:13

student loan justice beef with the

05:16

government okay the government is doing

05:17

some some illegal things here and look

05:20

here college tuition on the x-axis okay

05:24

described on the y-axis is a tax tuition

05:29

is money that goes to an arm of the

05:31

government state colleges now look here

05:33

although there's a good case to be made

05:34

for free colleges and a lot of places

05:36

have them that's a little bit liberals

05:40

apprehend out okay but now when you're

05:42

getting way taxed over here which is the

05:44

current situation in being overtaxed

05:46

that's very liberal the tuition was very

05:49

reasonable back in the day so um now for

05:53

my next part I'm gonna see if I can pull

05:55

up Bernie Sanders right here okay now

06:00

Bernie Sanders asked was called once

06:03

free in the United States as a Bernie

06:05

Sanders says I'm sorry politifact asked

06:07

this right here

06:08

and yes mostly true so my point is is

06:11

that college was almost free not

06:14

completely but was almost free were free

06:15

in some places and we had the best

06:17

higher ed in the world so if the prices

06:20

have gone up now they're unaffordable

06:22

they've gone up with inflation but I

06:24

mean they've gone up even more than

06:25

inflation they are unaffordable so why

06:28

it's called quality gone down because

06:31

the Liberals have gotten involved and

06:33

some so-called conservatives have really

06:36

screwed things up pardon my language so

06:39

I'm not sure the times

06:41

situation I'm gonna good in call time

06:43

and then begin part three okay this is

06:46

Gordon again I forgot to mention

06:49

something now I know this is gonna be

06:51

divergent but I'm going somewhere with

06:52

this so hang with me earlier I said that

06:55

I was going to court to fight for

06:59

traditional marriage and that's true cuz

07:00

I'm I'm a right wing nut but the gays

07:03

were being mistreated and I also

07:05

proposed to the High Court and the

07:06

appeals court which actually reviewed my

07:09

stuff that the gays were being

07:11

mistreated as far as life insurance

07:12

visitation rights tax deductions you

07:15

can't use for married couples and also

07:18

the US Supreme Court will let me foul

07:21

but only if it's from my case it was the

07:24

friend of the court briefs which they

07:26

only permit lawyers to file and then you

07:28

have to be barred in their Court now so

07:30

here's what I'm going now those are

07:32

points that forgot to mention in and of

07:33

their own right but you have right wing

07:35

that's like me who were not prejudiced

07:38

against poor people being crushed by

07:39

college loans okay not prejudiced

07:41

against blacks who were being crushed at

07:43

two or three times the rate depending on

07:45

which metric not prejudiced against gays

07:47

because now let's look at these other

07:49

issues throughout here okay so due

07:51

process okay students are usually not

07:54

notified there's not truth-in-lending

07:55

okay not truth-in-lending and so that's

07:58

a due process issue that's a

07:59

constitutional issue which conservatives

08:01

supposedly care about contract law there

08:04

was a change in the loan contract of

08:06

students okay and you look up this is a

08:09

monopoly horrendous monopoly you can

08:11

argue as me you look up the definition

08:13

equal protection the general form of

08:15

equal protection the GOP leaders and the

08:18

Democratic leaders and their rich

08:19

buddies even criminals with credit cards

08:21

can get bankruptcy but not a college

08:23

team okay now specific form of equal a

08:26

special case of equal protection you

08:28

look at article 1 section 8 Clause 4 of

08:30

the US Constitution I'm gonna see if I

08:33

can pull it up right here okay here we

08:35

go

08:35

article 1 section 8 Clause 4 of the US

08:38

Constitution where is it right here look

08:42

at that the Congress shall have power

08:44

and this is this is a limitation on

08:47

their power this is all they can do to

08:48

establish the uniform laws are subject

08:50

to bankruptcies throughout the United

08:51

States now here's my point there's no

08:54

guarantee

08:55

you have to have bankruptcy but if there

08:57

is bankruptcy it must be uniform you ask

08:59

any college student the bankruptcy law

09:02

in the u.s. is not uniform it violates

09:04

this and this is not only in the

09:06

Constitution it is ahead of the power to

09:09

coin money to go to war it is in the

09:11

Constitution proper not the amendments

09:13

that step first I mean the Second

09:15

Amendment if it's a fourth amendment

09:16

system in the fourteenth amendment

09:18

these are important you ask anyone the

09:20

first and second amendment very

09:21

important okay but this is a head of the

09:24

amendments it's actually in the

09:25

Constitution so the current laws is not

09:30

uniform its knowledge that section okay

09:33

so now so you have equal protection

09:35

issues especially in general predatory

09:38

and subprime lending all three major

09:40

hisses and moral issues all three major

09:42

religions prohibit either interest or

09:45

usury which is excessive interest

09:47

depending on your scholar okay I've

09:50

already mentioned these issues up here

09:52

the tuition is a form of tax I've

09:55

mentioned that now here's where Alan

09:57

taught me something okay I used to know

09:59

that the Liberals made loans easily

10:02

available and so the taxpayer was on the

10:05

hook cost taxpayers and that the

10:07

colleges jack up the tuition because the

10:09

loans were easily available it distorted

10:11

the conservative free-market liberals

10:13

did this but the so-called conservatives

10:15

removed bankruptcy and I didn't

10:17

understand the connection until I

10:18

explained it to me he was patiently

10:19

explaining it to me getting it through

10:21

my hard head but I got it

10:23

bankruptcy is in my opinion it functions

10:27

like the economic second amendment

10:29

he pulled the bankruptcy story out and

10:30

swing it and those that were gonna do

10:33

predatory lending remember the subprime

10:34

crisis okay the housing crisis of

10:38

2008-2009 those people can file

10:40

bankruptcy had they not been able to it

10:43

would have been a lot worse

10:44

the government forced loans upon people

10:46

and caused a bubble this bubbles can be

10:48

worse because you know something

10:49

credit card debt has been surpassed

10:52

college debt is now greater than credit

10:54

card debt it will crash the dollar so

10:56

the deal is is that lenders if they new

10:59

students can file bankruptcy had Truth

11:02

in Lending statute-of-limitations other

11:04

just consumer protections everyone else

11:06

has why can't we have them okay things

11:08

we're working

11:09

back then when we can defend ourselves

11:10

all right you fellow Republicans or

11:13

rhinos you say you don't say anything

11:15

about the Second Amendment you know that

11:17

you don't make fun of us for when you

11:18

defend ourselves all right that guy is

11:21

gonna shoot someone no you don't say

11:22

that so why are you saying these

11:24

students are gonna file bankruptcy maybe

11:26

it's because the bankruptcy would happen

11:29

because they're being preyed upon okay

11:31

the bankruptcy would scare off the

11:33

lenders with less lung availability the

11:36

colleges would lower tuition to free

11:38

market values and college would be

11:41

affordable once again okay this is

11:43

actually a national security issue

11:44

because other nations have free college

11:47

or very expensive college we used to

11:49

have the best college in the world okay

11:51

and it was very affordable okay but now

11:55

it's gone up it's now I'm not affordable

11:57

and the quality has gone down that's not

11:59

our fault so don't blame us in parents

12:02

and elders tell the kids you either go

12:05

to college or you don't even have a

12:08

chance to make something of yourself

12:10

okay you'd be lucky to be a burger

12:12

flipper even with a college degree it's

12:14

hard to get a job and so the student has

12:16

no choice if you needed to get an

12:18

operation and your life depended on it

12:20

and you could only take a loan out or

12:22

kick the bucket and croak and dime and

12:24

be pushing up daisies what would you do

12:27

and so why are you keep occurrence

12:29

running your big Gator out there getting

12:31

on the students the student has no

12:32

choice either no to college and being

12:34

debt forever unless he hits lucky or

12:38

I've be lucky to be a burden not nothing

12:40

against McDonald's burger flippers I was

12:42

a burger flipper but that's the low end

12:44

of the totem pole so the bottom line is

12:47

the cure would be allowing bankruptcy

12:50

truth-in-lending statute of limitations

12:52

that would also be preventative than

12:54

somewhat but lowering the loan limit

12:56

source you can get a death I'm okay with

12:58

you getting your debt but use a credit

12:59

oh I just about forgot one little thing

13:04

right here okay now this is my

13:06

conclusion but point number three is

13:11

very important remember I said that I

13:13

wasn't prejudiced against blacks whites

13:17

conservatives liberals gays straights

13:20

poor people rich people well here's a

13:23

key point both the Republicans and the

13:26

Democrats have at times held the House

13:28

the Senate and the Oval Office okay

13:31

the Republicans under GW Bush Bush jr.

13:35

held the House the Senate and the Oval

13:38

Office the Democrats under President

13:41

Obama the house the Senate in the Oval

13:43

Office and now we have a president Trump

13:46

and guess what the Republicans now have

13:49

the turn with the House the Senate and

13:51

the Oval Office and guess what double

13:54

failure both parties failed in the

13:57

bankruptcy issue including the the

13:58

Democrats both party parties failed to

14:02

get the tax payer off the hook for

14:05

making or guaranteeing college loans

14:07

making or backing that is guaranteeing

14:09

including the Republicans both parties

14:12

are visible failures okay so I wanted to

14:15

hammer home the point that both parties

14:18

are abysmal failures now the people are

14:22

well-meaning but the road to hell is

14:25

paved with good intentions

14:26

already now my conclusion we're gonna

14:29

ride along okay this is Gordon again

14:33

this is my last segment and we're coming

14:35

to the conclusion off I apologize for

14:37

the length but remover folks I am the

14:40

guy that almost won the Terri Schiavo

14:42

case remember the feeding tube girl from

14:44

Pinellas Park Florida

14:45

all by myself google her I did better

14:48

than Jeb Bush than George Bush the Pope

14:50

he got involved all the family got

14:53

involved all combined okay so now also a

14:57

conservative view for college loan

14:59

issues is not very well known okay you

15:02

usually think of this people think this

15:03

is a liberal issue give me a free

15:05

handout okay

15:07

college tuition is attacks we're being

15:09

overtaxed they're violating equal

15:11

protection and areas of the US

15:12

Constitution it's gonna be fiscally on

15:15

respond irresponsible will crash the US

15:17

dollar a lot of national security I

15:19

mentioned earlier an uneducated populace

15:22

is a very unsafe country okay

15:25

so basically I apologize for the link

15:29

but is

15:30

justified now earlier I mentioned that

15:33

college debt is okay and I got cut off

15:37

from the video it's okay if and only if

15:40

you use a credit card where it's hard to

15:42

borrow large amounts but not on the tax

15:44

dollar thank you but I had to I had no

15:47

other choice

15:47

um that's the current case right there

15:49

so now here's the conclusion of the

15:51

matter number one assurance I'm a

15:53

right-wing nut I've established that I

15:55

think a pro-life pro-marriage Second

15:58

Amendment supporter trust me on that one

16:00

fiscally conservative you trust me on

16:03

that one I want to get the tax payer off

16:04

the hook not but I'm also not prejudiced

16:07

against gays poor people black people

16:09

any people rich people I like my rich

16:11

people they provide us job so I'm not

16:12

prejudiced against anyone I try to help

16:15

anyone that I can't even them free for

16:16

myself okay so I'm establishing myself

16:19

as route we not now here's the deal

16:21

conservative case can be made

16:23

you have to review the video again

16:25

review it relax

16:26

review the video just take your time and

16:29

relax once just kick back the second

16:31

time you review the video here take some

16:34

notes like I did okay take some notes

16:37

maybe you review the third time it's you

16:39

if necessary okay the conservative case

16:42

can be made for restoration of college

16:45

loans bankruptcy also throughs and

16:47

lending statute of limitations Fair Debt

16:49

Collection Practices you three laws

16:51

refinancing hello

16:53

standard consumer protections lowering

16:55

the loan limits also now that's

16:57

something that Alan mentioned but he

17:00

didn't propose a bill but I will now

17:02

when I was up at Florida State the

17:04

Student Senate a short fellow a young

17:07

man he he was a student senator he said

17:09

mister warrants make it short and sweet

17:12

tell us your problem

17:13

tell us your proposed solution and so

17:16

the problems college loan a college

17:20

tuition and the dead which results from

17:22

the tuition is long affordable the US

17:25

higher ed is going down the price goes

17:27

up

17:27

okay the burden is the student

17:29

unprecedented suicide rates threatens to

17:32

crash the dollar and collapse because

17:36

the credit card debt has been surpassed

17:37

by college debt okay now and I'm gonna

17:41

predict to you in both Revelation six

17:43

six of the Bible

17:44

yes I'm a right-wing religious nut and

17:46

and other religions to the crash of the

17:49

economy described if you look in the

17:51

amplified version it'll take a day's

17:52

wages for days soon all the bad things

17:55

that are talked about in the economy in

17:56

Christianity Judaism Islam other

17:59

religions will happen and they'll happen

18:02

quicker if we don't listen to me if you

18:06

don't listen to me now okay here are the

18:08

solutions first off HR 2366 and as it's

18:11

the bill right here that uh

18:14

representative Delaney proposed now this

18:16

is HR 2366 in the cotton 115th Congress

18:20

but now here's the other bill Alan

18:23

alluded to the loan limits basically HR

18:26

507 back in the hundred not Congress was

18:30

one this is my proposed bill okay

18:32

it uh it makes some changes in the John

18:37

Boehner bill John Bainer may be a good

18:39

guy

18:39

maybe pro-life mmm maybe pro marriage

18:42

but he's a liberal Ramu so he's the one

18:45

that introduced this bill right here HR

18:48

507 of the hundred knots Congress all

18:50

right and raise the loan limit since all

18:52

went in and that reverses ultimately

18:55

they should come down to zero so listen
