I am Larry Elder. We are 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.840 Salem News Channel, coming to you from the Relief Factor Studio. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:29.800 Don't forget your relief Factor eight hundred four relief eight 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.239 hundred to number four relief relief Factor dot Com. That's 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.040 relief Factor dot Com. So much to get to between 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.280 now and the close of our action packed live three 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.440 hour show. Lara, you always say that because it's always true. 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:46.800 Gulf states are spending billions of dollars and workers are 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.320 working twenty four to seven to build ways around the 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:53.440 strait of our moves. Betting parlors now rank alc as 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.560 the most likely to win the Democratic nomination for president. 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.240 I kid you, not new pole, says Abdul l said. 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:03.760 The Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan might be in 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.560 a bit of trouble. He's down five points. Did you 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.080 know that, l said has a half sister who teaches 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:12.959 at the University of Chicago. She was arrested late last 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.959 year at an ICE protest and was charged with aggravated 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.880 battery for spitting on officers. Sounds like she's carrying on 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.680 the family business. A member of the European Parliament representing 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.920 Poland blasted European countries for allowing immigration that he says 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:32.040 increases the likelihood of terrorism. And a few more Democrats 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.200 are beginning to speak out against the far left crazies 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.000 like Hassan Piker who are taking over their party. Socialism 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.560 is popular among Democrats, but not so much with Independence 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.800 and certainly not with Republicans. A report finds Jewish studies 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.840 at universities are teaching students to hate Israel. All of 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.919 this and more. Triple eight ninety seven one sage Triple 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.680 eight ninety seven, one seven two four to three. Well, 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.360 I got a lot of feedback from yesterday's show. We 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:04.360 started the show by playing a video of a teacher 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:09.040 from Houston teaches seniors in high school. After two days, 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.520 he realized that the seniors he was teaching, some of 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.519 whom he said are planning to go to college, couldn't 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:18.280 read and couldn't write, so during his lunch break. He 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.040 did a video and he just literally cried about the 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:27.440 state of the educational level at the school where he 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:32.840 was teaching. Got a lot of letters, Dear Larry, writes 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:38.120 Gary from Big Spring, Texas failure of the public school system. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.200 How can we raise test scores easy, make the test easier, 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.919 thus avoiding criticism? Of course, lowering will become a parent 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:53.280 when students can no longer read the test, math and reasoning. Please, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.600 Elvis has left the building. I'm a retired military officer, 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:02.359 he says, and retired high school physics teacher. Another one. 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.359 My sister was a teacher of fourth grade in a 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.800 system north of New York. This is about thirty years ago. 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.079 She would come home and complain about the levels of 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.919 learning in her class and that was then. She said. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.440 When she started teaching, she had a principle who wouldn't 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.040 take any bull from anybody. As years went by, principles 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.200 got worse and worse, and she felt she did not 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.320 have any support from the principal. I got a lot 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:38.520 of letters like this. I was reading about Daria Elisia 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:45.760 Avila Chevalier. She's the DSA member converted to Islam and 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:49.640 she's now won her primary will very likely be elected 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:54.440 to the House from New York. She tweeted that she 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.600 did not like interracial couples. That's not how she put it. 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:05.160 She tweeted something negative black men and Hispanics that date 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:11.280 colonizer white women. This term colonizer is a term that 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.920 the Left has begun using a great deal, particularly when 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:18.039 they talk about Israel, as if Israel just parachute it 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:22.680 there after the Holocaust, as if Jews did not have 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:24.840 a three thousand year connection to that area, as if 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.880 there was a country called Palestine, which it never was. 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.200 And I'm looking at all these people who are just 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.799 completely ignorant. I don't mean stupid, I just meant ignorant, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:41.200 devoid of facts, devoid of information. And then they aggressively 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.839 will argue and loudly will argue. And when the case 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.320 of Hassan Piker, spicing their rhetoric with a bunch of 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:58.000 foul language, but completely ignorant. About thirty five years ago, 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:04.960 I vacationed in in Spain and I visited this fort 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.840 called Alhambra. Urge you to look it up, and it 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:13.359 had been converted into a garden, just beautiful, colorful flowers, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:19.359 the most beautiful garden i'd ever been to, and it 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:23.960 turns out it was a fort built by Muslim conquerors 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:30.800 that conquered Spain in the seven hundred eight's, and I 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:36.200 began reading about the history of Muslim conquerors. You know, 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.440 Egypt was once Christian, what we call the Middle East 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:48.240 was once Christian. Muslim conquerors took it over sixth and 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:53.200 seventh century and moved as far west as Spain. Even 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.560 parts of England were conquered, and then there was a 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:04.159 what's called a reconquista that ended in fourteen ninety two 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:09.520 when Spain reconquered it's country. But these people that talk 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.560 about colonizer, they like to start where they want to start. 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.719 And the reason for this, we've talked about this is 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:23.120 because of the woeful state of our education. Kids don't 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.800 know history, and well they do no history. It's Tuesday, 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.960 but they don't know world history, let alone history that 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:35.320 goes back thousands of years. They don't. Nothing reminds me 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:37.640 of that comment made by Ben Rhoades. He's the one 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:42.159 who negotiated the Iran deal during the Obama administration, and 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.839 after the deal was done, he gave an interview with 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.240 the New York Times, where he literally said that I 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:51.160 pushed this deal by claiming there was this big divide 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.520 between the hardliner Iotolus and the moderate Iotolus, and if 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.599 we wanna give more power to the moderate Iototis, we 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.680 need to do this Iran deal. He admitted that there 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:05.400 was no chasm between these two. They were all hard liners, 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:08.240 and he literally bragged how he was able to sell this. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.400 He said because newspapers had gotten rid of their veteran 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.200 reporters who used to cover foreign policy and foreign affairs, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.600 and the average reporter covering foreign affairs, he says, is 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.920 twenty seven years old, quote and they literally know nothing 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:29.840 close quote. There is an article in the Atlantic called 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:34.440 the Age of Reading is Over and reminds me of 0:07:34.520 --> 0:07:39.920 a debate I had with my nephew, my brother, Kirk's 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:46.160 youngest son. He's no longer with us, tragically died in 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.400 his thirties and it took the coroner a long time 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.240 to figure out the cause of death, and apparently it 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:57.080 just a heart attack. He wasn't doing drugs, but he 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.760 was a hard lefty. Loved him some Broaco. We would 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.360 argue and argue and argue, and I would often say, well, 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:05.960 don't you know this, don't you know this? Don't you 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.840 know that? And one time, during the heated argument, he 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:16.040 said I don't like to read. I said, you've never 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:20.760 read any of this? No, you never read the Federalist papers. No, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.200 I don't like to read. And I realized I was 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.400 simply wasting my time debating somebody who quote doesn't like 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:35.920 to read. The age of reading is over long article, 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:42.960 let me read you part of it. Fewer than half 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.320 of all adults report having read a book of any 0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:50.400 kind in twenty twenty two. Only thirty eight percent read 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:55.800 a novel or a short story. A survey found proportion 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.360 of Americans who read for pleasure on any given day 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.760 fell from twenty eight percent in two thousand and four 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:06.120 to sixteen percent in twenty twenty three, and the study 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:10.280 looked at people who read a book, a magazine, a newspaper, audiobook, 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:16.120 or an ebook. Turns out gambling had become a more 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:20.480 common leisure activity than reading a book. Last year, fifty 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:24.160 seven percent of Americans placed to bed, and books that 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.480 people do read are simply simpler than they used to be. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.640 New York Times best sellers today have sentences that are 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:33.080 about one third shorter than they were one hundred years ago. 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.040 Nineteen seventy five, about half of twenty something said they'd 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:41.440 read a newspaper every day. Today less than ten percent 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:45.640 due most Americans now get their news on their phones 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.200 laptops forty percent. They prefer to watch or listen to 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:54.599 online news rather than to read it. So this is 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:59.440 where you are now. People don't read let alone history, 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.080 let alone world history. Know nothing at all about the 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.040 true history of the Middle East, nothing at all about 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:12.839 the true history of Muslim conquest of the Middle East 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.640 and of parts of Europe. Have never read any economics, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.439 are clueless about economics. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:23.160 One O one. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:28.959 This explains why so many Democrats prefer socialism over capitalism. 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:34.960 They don't understand capitalism, They don't understand economics. They are 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:41.000 completely devoid of information. They are ignorant. Now when it 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.600 comes to supplements, two things matter most that it works, 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.599 that you can trust in. Rather than just tell you 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.120 about relief factor, we let our customers do it.

He did something he'd never done before. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.040 He ran a half marathon. Now he tells all of 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.280 its friends about Relief Factor.

The biggest question in education today 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.319 is how artificial intelligence is shaping the way your student learns. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.400 Artificial intelligence is changing education faster than most schools are 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.120 willing to admit, and many families are rightly concerned. At 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:56.679 Patrick Henry College, the goal isn't to outsource thinking to machines. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.160 It's to train students to think for themselves. PHC emphasizes 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.360 a Christian liberal arts education that develops reasoning, writing, speaking, 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.920 and discernment skills no algorithm can replace. Students learn to 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.600 engage technology wisely, understanding its capabilities but also its danger 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:18.040 and limitations, rather than becoming dependent on it. In a 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.800 world increasingly shaped by AI. Patrick Henry College prepares students 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.760 to lead with wisdom, conviction, and moral clarity. If you 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.880 want a college that prepares your child to lead in 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.559 an AI driven world without losing his or her faith 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.000 and values, I encourage you to learn more about Patrick 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:36.920 Henry College.

We are still in the news channel. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:53.559 I've had the privilege of having lunch and dinner with 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:58.520 the Great Tom Soul several times, and he's always been 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:03.880 extremely pessimist about the future of this country. In fact, 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.720 one of the reasons he says he rarely gives interviews 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:07.719 because he believes that the reporters are the people who 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.280 are interviewing him are too stupid to understand what he's 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.400 saying and too stupid to ask the right kinds of questions. 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:26.920 And he says the ignorance of young people is a 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:32.200 existential threat to this country. We are talking once about 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:36.200 the minimum wage, and I said, Tom, the minimum wage, 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:37.760 as I understand it is probably one of the most 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:43.080 studied aspects of economics. Yet the majority of people support 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:47.440 a minimum wage, even a lot of Republicans do. I said, 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:52.160 if you can't win an argument where the research overwhelmingly 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:56.640 suggests that the minium wage does more harm than good, 0:13:57.160 --> 0:14:01.600 how are you going to win? Are their arguments? He said, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.719 most people have never heard the argument. It isn't that 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.280 they heard the argument and rejected it. They just don't know. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.400 Getting back of this article in the Atlantic, and again 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:23.800 this is a liberal publication, says that fourth and eighth 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:29.480 grade reading scores have been declining for ten years. The 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:37.360 most popular to read are graphic novels. In twenty twenty four, 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.080 to national tests, just thirty five percent of high school 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:47.960 seniors were proficient at analyzing fictional themes and evaluating the 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:55.280 effectiveness of the author's argument. Thirty five percent scored below basic, 0:14:56.480 --> 0:15:02.200 meaning they struggle to draw conclusion from concepts included in 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:07.960 a text. Yet Americans are reading more words now than ever. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.960 What's changed is how they read. People are bombarded with 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:18.640 emails and text messages, ex posts, threads, captions, that sort 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:25.680 of thing. A neuroscientist at UCLA says people are losing 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:32.760 their ability to think deeply about writing. They're losing the 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:42.640 ability to comprehend. Kindergarten teachers say that many of the 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:50.720 kids don't know nursery rhymes or fairy tales. In a 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.640 study of two hundred and thirty six thousand American adults, 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:02.200 only two percent read to a child in any day. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.240 From nineteen eighty four to twenty twenty five. The percentage 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.400 of thirteen year olds who said they rarely or never 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:15.360 read for fun rose from eight percent to twenty nine percent. 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:27.600 A Harvard professor of Humanities and Social sciences said that 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:32.680 many students now view reading as an unnecessary, burdensome way 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.560 of acquiring knowledge and read that again, students now view 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:47.080 reading as an unnecessary, unnecessarily burdensome way of acquiring knowledge. 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:54.000 She said, they feel pressured and oppressed if they are 0:16:54.040 --> 0:17:01.040 asked to read. A twenty twenty five found that most 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.840 middle and high school English teachers assigned zero to four 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:11.040 books a year. Many of the most popular school curriculum 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:19.639 now rely on excerpts. Social media has been overrun with 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:26.880 short form videos. TikTok, YouTube shorts, Instagram reels dominate the attention, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:40.720 especially among young people. Professor of pediatrics compares scrolling TikTok 0:17:41.480 --> 0:17:44.520 to a lab rat pushing a button and getting a 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.280 dose of cocaine. Eventually, all you want to do is 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:54.000 push the button. In two thousand and four, the average 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.000 attention span on a screen was two and a half minutes. 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.160 By twenty twelve, that had dropped to seventy five seconds. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.120 Five years ago, it fell to about forty five seconds 0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:16.520 and still falling. Watching videos is a far more interesting 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:24.880 activity for people than reading. When children watched an animated 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:29.080 video of the story, they used a region of the 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:33.200 brain associated with imagination about half as much as they 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:39.800 did when looking at a illustration or when trying to read. 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.440 Twenty twenty four survey of third to eighth grade teachers, 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.160 more than eighty percent said their student's reading stamina had 0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:57.600 declined since twenty nineteen. Scores on Act and English sections 0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:01.320 have been falling for the past seven years. Now they're 0:19:01.359 --> 0:19:08.480 at their lowest level in more than three decades. When 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.359 students get to college, Professor's fine, they have to teach 0:19:11.359 --> 0:19:15.560 them how to comprehend the text, in other words, how 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:26.119 to think. So when you have these hustlers like Hassan Piker, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:33.320 like Zoran Mom dammy, promising this, promising that, not talking 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:37.159 about how they're going to pay for it. When you 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:39.359 have people who don't know how to comprehend, don't know 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:49.720 how to think, they're easy pickings. This is where we are, 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:59.959 This is why this What did he say, the warm 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:07.080 embrace of collectivism as opposed to the rugged, harsh, rugged individualism. 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:13.120 What does that even mean? It's rhetoric. And you see 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:17.360 how slick they are, how smooth they are. Barack Obama 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:24.240 was smooth. Mayor Pete is smooth. Abdul elsay Had is smooth, 0:20:26.240 --> 0:20:35.119 Zoron Mamdani is smooth. Say the most asinine things, but 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:39.399 say them with a smile, and say them confidently, and 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:47.280 promise things. And people that are ill informed, aggrieved, upset, 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.679 like the average DSA member college and beyond majoring in 0:20:52.720 --> 0:20:56.119 things that are completely useless in the marketplace, and so 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.000 they feel that they're not getting the kind of money 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:03.760 and attention and respect and prestige that they deserve. So 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:08.280 the attack people who've worked hard, busted their butts, built something, 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:14.679 and then accused them of having exploited other people. It's asinine. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:22.760 I'm Laryoda. 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:29.040 It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:30.320 state of our nation. 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.320 What happens when the institutions built to protect a liberty 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:38.520 are accused of working against it. This weekend, Salem News 0:21:38.560 --> 0:21:43.960 Channel's America two fifty film series presents Government Gangsters. Watch 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:47.919 a hard hitting look at power, corruption, and accountability in 0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:52.159 modern America Saturday and Sunday at seven pm Eastern only 0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:55.640 on Salem News Channel Triple eight. 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:58.480 Nine seventy one Sage Triple eight nine seventy one seven 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.400 two four to three, IM Larry Yoda, we are Salem 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:09.680 News Channel. Poll shows that abdulh l Sayed is down 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:16.840 five points against Mike Rogers, and as the race continues 0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:21.200 and more and more things that mister l Sayd has 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:26.119 said surface, I'm hoping that that gap gets wider. But 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:32.520 I mentioned Tom So earlier. He's now ninety six years old, 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:37.520 sharper than Biden. Although that's a little bar, isn't it. 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:42.919 That's probably unfair and as I said, he's not terribly optimistic. 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:46.080 Number seventy four. 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:51.320 I do think that there is a very serious chance 0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:58.320 that we are doing because we have institutions who went 0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:04.040 for people and thooing their interests are destroying the larger 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:08.120 interests of the whole society. These people who are coming 0:23:08.160 --> 0:23:13.320 around shooting people and calling them fascists and so on, 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:17.919 these people are so ignorant that they don't even know 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.359 what the fact what the fascists was or doing. 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:21.439 Uh. 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:29.280 But Charles Kirk goes around went around talking to people 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.480 trying to convince them fascists don't do that. 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:44.000 Fascists shoot. Tum has often talked about how people like 0:23:44.280 --> 0:23:48.200 mom Dummy don't have to deal with the consequences of 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:53.000 their bad ideas other people do. But they don't defund 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:57.760 the police. You're living in a nice neighborhood with high walls, 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.639 often with your own your own private security. You're not 0:24:02.680 --> 0:24:05.280 having to deal with the consequences of soft on crime 0:24:05.640 --> 0:24:19.720 laws and cashless bail. Government run crossy stories where the 0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:27.120 people running it don't have to pay rent, get goods 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:32.680 that are supardized by taxpayers, putting businesses near them out 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:33.200 of business. 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:38.600 Number seventy five, and so uh, it's the it's the 0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:42.520 pie person who who kills him thinking that he's a facist, 0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:47.359 who is himself a facist and the opposite of the 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.560 man of the man he's murdering. I don't, I don't, 0:24:50.600 --> 0:24:55.120 I don't. I don't think it's coincidence. Supposedly this is 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:58.680 this was a scholarship student. But you have you have 0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:07.360 a oh h an intolerant. Intolerant universities are the norms 0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:12.399 UH people who go around trying to give talks on 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:17.040 universities uh not not uh uh in their many others 0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:20.840 and and there they are kept from doing so by 0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:27.400 by mobs uh. Professors who have spent a lifetime studying 0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:32.320 some subject in great depth, like Stephen Thurstrom at Harvard, 0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:38.800 who was editor of the American U Ethnic Group Encyclopedia. 0:25:39.200 --> 0:25:43.760 He had to stop teaching because people would would would 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:47.720 we were making it impossible for him. 0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:48.359 And so and s and so. 0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.280 And if you look at the h the history of UH, 0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:56.080 what these UH people have been doing, and I I 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:58.239 some of that history is in in my not in 0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:03.320 my book from for years yars ago inside American education. 0:26:03.480 --> 0:26:10.960 It's horrifying. One of the reasons I recommended this the 0:26:11.000 --> 0:26:12.600 old book of mine. 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:15.040 Is that it. 0:26:15.080 --> 0:26:18.960 Makes which one inside higher education, which put inside American 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:22.720 education education? Yes, because it shows how hard it is 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.879 for people to even know what is going on inside 0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:28.720 educational institutions. 0:26:29.920 --> 0:26:30.040 Uh. 0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.400 And that goes not only for the public schools, but 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:38.879 also for the for the universities. It's wonderful to hear 0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:42.800 all these people talk about diversity is so wonderful at 0:26:42.880 --> 0:26:47.520 the schools. Yes, but diversity of them means white leftists, 0:26:47.600 --> 0:26:51.600 black leftists, female leftists, and Hispanic leftists. 0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:52.760 You know. 0:26:53.520 --> 0:26:58.080 And that's a somewhat limited notion of diversity. When people say, 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:03.000 you know that we want, we want it needs to 0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:05.520 be more diverse, you know. I asked them, how many 0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:12.399 Republicans are there in your sociology department? Often it is 0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:15.400 I don't think I've ever heard an answer as large 0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:15.800 as ten. 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.640 When I was running for governor, I was interviewed by 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:26.080 the editorial members of the Los Angeles Times. You can 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:33.920 watch the interview on YouTube. Pretty contentious. I asked them 0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.480 how many Republicans and Conservatives are on the LA Times 0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:43.440 editorial board. Crickets now just two weeks before his tragic assassination. 0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:47.280 On September ten, twenty twenty five, Conservative leader Charlie Kirk 0:27:47.359 --> 0:27:50.440 sat down for one of his final interviews to wrestle 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:54.560 with a timeless question, does God still Speak today? Their 0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.640 conversation became the foundation for the powerful and provocative new 0:27:57.640 --> 0:28:02.040 documentary Can You Hear Me Now, that explores prophecy, faith, 0:28:02.600 --> 0:28:06.160 scripture history, and the role believers are called to play 0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:11.600 in our culture today. Follow director Matthew Thayer's investigation examining 0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:16.760 the evidence weighing today's most prominent prophetic voices against scripture history, 0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:21.359 political and scientific scrutiny. Rather than asking you what to think, 0:28:21.680 --> 0:28:24.560 the film invites you to examine the evidence, consider the 0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:27.600 Biblical foundations, and reflect on what it all means for 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:31.040 believer It's living in today's culture.

I'm very active on social media. 0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:08.320 I've got altogether maybe four million followers if you add 0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.880 up all the different platforms, one of which is x 0:29:12.160 --> 0:29:17.280 formerly Twitter one point eight million followers. Whenever I post 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:24.520 anything that is pro Israel, normally I don't read responses, 0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:26.480 but every now and then I do, just to get 0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:30.480 a feel for what people are saying. Whenever I post 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:40.120 anything that's pro Israel, the hateful, nasty, vicious responses are 0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:41.760 not to be believed. I can't even read some of 0:29:41.760 --> 0:29:48.000 them on the air. Just a few hours ago, I 0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:51.240 posted a cartoon I used AI to help me draw, 0:29:53.160 --> 0:29:58.680 and it's guy laying on a hammock with his arms 0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:01.760 behind his head, and the second panel is another guy 0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:04.120 laying on a hammock with an arm behind his head. 0:30:04.560 --> 0:30:08.000 The second guy is wearing a kafia, you know, the 0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:12.920 little scarf that's the pro Palestinian some say Prohamas scarf, 0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:18.960 and the one the left. He's saying to himself with 0:30:19.000 --> 0:30:22.680 a smile on his face. All we Jews want is 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:27.560 to live in peace and to be left alone and 0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:33.600
