-- really the most perverse side ever heard.

Thought our right to the daily caller reports that the Department of Labor plans to apply child labor -- to youngsters on farms keeping them from working -- Grain elevators -- in silos -- lot stockyards.

And livestock exchanges and options.

I eat every place Bob's taken -- -- -- and while this is done in the name of safety we know it's just another government intrusion into the lives of people who wanna be left alone well also killing the the chance to instill the value of hard work.

But more important.

How's it gonna be in force the only way empowered to kids to -- on their parents.

The administration thereby manages to raise another generation of snitch is cool thing got anyone not only the Obama line -- the Soviets used to say get -- early and where -- -- overreach and what about suburban chores like lawn mowing and well.

Unpaid interns also be saved from grunt work if so Dana will lose it.

Who would preach you or food to make sure there are no foreign objects that would iron -- giant flag I've gained is con.

Who would walk her cobra.

Look we're gonna farms should be encouraging teaches discipline and in fact children should do more work they should be used for heavy labor spoken to this -- -- my -- I myself pulled a -- for thirteen years in rural Oklahoma as you can see it -- -- nothing but it can really got to wonder how many kids from -- ended up occupying Wall Street.

Zero.

It's.

Did you actually lived on not a far better -- -- the difference.

I think it's that how much livestock you have I believe yeah it's made it's -- -- year -- -- -- -- right so when you got a rich you saw animals died correct.

Yes you know I -- -- -- -- so that's my that's my cousin.

-- the way to impress him please forgive me for Chinese pictures without asking your permission then edit it castle Wyoming.

Whenever little boys they started working on the ranch.

And the reason they are able to do what they do today which is help my uncle Matt run at the ranch.

Is because when they were little.

They didn't have to go through.

Department of Labor regulations and safety checks the parents took care of that uncles and cousins -- the neighbors to care that.

And now they help run the ranch which helps make sure that all of us can buy a stake for ten bucks and demonstrate.

The just it is isn't a former owner of the of the aggression mountain ranch in and then I was Montana I can tell you know that's a real ranch Bob that's that was -- legendary -- it was serious -- -- -- I doubt they regret it at my partners sold off -- it would become -- jets but if we -- we had it was a dude ranch and we ran catalog and released for cattle okay.

Now it is true is -- -- Taking cattle to livestock.

Yards to.

Transportation in a lot of the states in these farm states have kids.

Drive tractors and trucks and -- -- at age 1415 years old Montana I think the license requirements fifteen.

To drive so much fun though our way but wait a second this is the -- that we got to take into account of that and that area.

Of farming and ranching and transportation to -- to stockyards the largest number of injuries to children happen.

In those areas those there was almost 7500.

Who were hurt in farm related and branch related injuries so over what -- already got to be looked well it's -- in this in 2010.

Injuries -- children on farms have gone down over the last ten years senator John stands -- because I'm Greta last night talked about that senator Barrasso Wyoming many other senators got together and -- this is Department of Labor is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist at noon and they're concerned about the government overreaching and the nose under the tent and what's next.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- How to write a US request and I thought -- After yes -- where all the sent.

And you know about the White House role council.

Now this is the White House has put the other council with the heads of all the major departments all the cabinet's secretary defense secretary of homeland secure all of a for some reason.

On social engineering they want to make sure that the that the the rural areas for -- brought back into the urban areas I don't know what but this sounds like.

More socially engineered to help tell the farmers and what did you do with us at 7800.

Injuries is not a small amount what the bill but if it's decreasing and a lot of times when the catalog these injuries a lot of it's -- -- Channel it's not because they're working this is they don't -- -- I'm sorry this is so stupid the more this administration gets into the lives of people's businesses the lazy at first of all.

The less prostrate -- the business becomes.

The lazier the kids get this is good to have kids working okay I'm actually thankful they're not regulating diners in my childhood would have been different but it's good to have a kid on the farm learning the value of sweat equity hard work getting -- and they -- -- -- -- getting up early art.

-- do anything as a as -- Hosts know so -- -- opposed to playing video games and listen to their I'd oh and I that would that you don't want a fifty year old kid hauling -- truck that's with four cattle to.

Allotment can do really well -- a lot of the a lot of tech but that the Bob that's extreme but parents and don't allow their kids to do that in Montana meaning him and the difference of many young person or some of these old farmers the majority of farmers are -- They have them operate and are they next we're gonna -- a narrative form the majority far older.

By corporations.

-- -- know 4%.

90% on my family or percent of produce outlet a percentage of all that -- -- a part of liberty to get involved with these people.

-- -- because looking out apparently never -- -- their parents won the three labor they'll never around.

That I can I point out in the previous block I said.

You know -- -- vote before they're 25 and in this block I'm saying that they should work hard labor and drive.

And there's no hypocrisy whatsoever involved in that okay.

You know sometimes they'll jump out from behind corners just to scare the heck out of tackle -- doctors tell me it's good forum.

But what is a prank but something far more deadly coming up we'll show you a horrible horrible frank.

-- that borders on the criminal to believe now you miss Eric shave its chest and he.
