I've seen the difference between somebody 105 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 5: engaging with these kids, helping them, showing interest in them, 106 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 5: versus just assuming, well, that's as good as their lives 107 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 5: are going to get. They got a parent in jail, 108 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 5: they're troubled already in their house to start with. From 109 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 5: the jump, they just don't have a great start. And 110 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 5: so you get kids that get the opportunity here because 111 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 5: of prison Fellowship. Get a gift this Christmas, a note 112 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 5: from a parent along with that gift that says, hey, 113 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 5: marry Christmas. I am thinking about you even though I'm 114 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 5: away and a Bible. This friend of mine said, you cannot. 115 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 5: You can't impress upon people enough. Stick all she said 116 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 5: to me, you can impress upon people enough. The difference 117 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 5: in engaging with these kids early and making an impact 118 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 5: and an impression versus just saying I wash my hands 119 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 5: of them. They're lost cause she said, most of these 120 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 5: kids will stay in your community. They never get better, 121 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 5: and the circle continues of criminality and trouble. 122 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: This breaks that cycle. 123 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 5: That's why this Prison Fellowship charitable organization has been so 124 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 5: near and dear to say. The media group's hard for years, 125 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 5: and when we came on board this year, they said, hey, 126 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 5: we're doing a Christmas campaign. 127 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 2: Can you help us out? 128 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: And I said, we're going to do our best, and boy, 129 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 5: have you come through so far. Again, We're we're a 130 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 5: little over seven thousand dollars away from our goal and 131 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 5: I set this as Friday our deadline. 132 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: It's not technically we've still got. 133 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 5: A few more days before Christmas, but two hundred and 134 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 5: forty seven kids at thirty dollars, that's what they need 135 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 5: from you per child to get this done. I think 136 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 5: we get it done today. 137 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: We may get it done. 138 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 5: Before the end of the show today.

I think the 178 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 10: American people will understand and agree with that. Of course, 179 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 10: they're going to be the ones who make the final decision. 180 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 10: But I feel very confident that if we keep wages high, 181 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 10: we keep energy prices low, we keep on chipping away 182 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 10: at the affordability crisis created by Joe Biden's administration. Yes, 183 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 10: I believe the American people are going to reward us 184 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 10: because the American people are smart. They know Rome wasn't 185 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 10: built in a day. They know what Joe Biden broke 186 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 10: is not going to get fixed in a week. We 187 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 10: got to stay with it. We got to keep on 188 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 10: working on bringing good jobs and money back into the 189 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 10: United States of America. 190 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: And that will. 191 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 10: It already has paid major dividends for the American people. 192 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: It's going to pay a lot more in the year 193 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: to come. 194 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 5: Now here's what's coming, and this is just unavoidable. It's 195 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 5: going to happen. There's really no way around it. Despite 196 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 5: what may be covered in the news over the next 197 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 5: few days. And those of you who are kind of 198 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 5: waiting with breathless anticipation about Obamacare, it's not going to happen. 199 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 2: It's not going to happen now anyway. 200 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 5: It's not going to happen before Christmas, which means come January. 201 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 5: And I'm not on Obamacare, so I don't know how 202 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 5: it works exactly. I don't know when you get hit 203 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 5: with this. I don't know if you already know what's coming. 204 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 5: But I'm told many people's premiums who are on Obamacare 205 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 5: are about to skyrocket in some cases, maybe even double. 206 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 5: The Republicans do not want to extend this for three years. 207 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 5: That Democrats said, we want to clean extension of this 208 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 5: for another three years. We want to subsize everybody that's 209 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 5: on Obamacare for another three years without question. And the 210 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 5: Republicans are correct to say, well, no, we're not doing that. 211 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 5: And some kind of more modern Republicans have said, how 212 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: about we do two years instead of three? And the 213 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 5: Democrats said, nope, three, And we went through this yesterday. 214 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 5: We know why they want three because we've got elections 215 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 5: coming in three years. They want to run on Obamacare 216 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 5: again because they know this is one of their great tools. 217 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 5: And so this is my question, ed, is Obamacare enough? 218 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 5: And I don't know. I bet you could quit Google 219 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 5: search this. How many people, roughly do you see are 220 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 5: enrolled in Obamacare? I wonder what the Google machine spits 221 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 5: out if you ask it that question. How many Americans 222 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 5: are enrolled currently in Obamacare? I don't know that number. 223 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 5: I suspect it's probably a sizeable by design. 224 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 9: By the way, oh yeah, zero point three million people 225 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 9: as of twenty twenty five. 226 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 5: That's an appreciable number. Twenty four million people are enrolled 227 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 5: in a government taxpayer funded health insurance system which is broke, 228 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 5: subsidized exclusively by the taxpayer, left to stand on its 229 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 5: own devices. And we have major insurance companies that are 230 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 5: not participating in it anymore. Because again, what happens. Government 231 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 5: gets involved in this business. They control costs, and they say, 232 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 5: and by costs, I don't mean they control what medicine 233 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 5: costs to do. They say, we're only going to pay 234 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 5: this much for X. And as such, some insurance companies 235 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 5: just say, well, this is untenable. We cannot cover everyone 236 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 5: and then be expected to cover every expense for everyone. 237 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 5: We can't do it, so we're out. We're just going 238 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 5: to be out of Obamacare entirely. And more of that 239 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 5: will come if this isn't fixed, because again it does 240 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 5: not impact the price of medicine. You go to the 241 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 5: hospital and the hospital bills what the hospital bills. Now, 242 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: Obamacare may say, we're not paying for that. Are you 243 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 5: better off? Well, I've got Obamacare, Thank goodness, somebody else 244 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 5: is covering my health insurance. Okay. Then you go to 245 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 5: the doctor of the hospital and they say you need 246 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 5: a fill in the blank, and it's going to cost 247 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 5: this much, and Obamacare says, yeah, no, you're not giving 248 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 5: them that at that cost. And you're thinking, as the patient, 249 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 5: but I need that thing, and Obamacare says, maybe you do, 250 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 5: but it's too expensive. By the way I saw, it's 251 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 5: officially legal to do the euthanasia thing in Illinois. Now 252 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 5: that's what's coming next. Some people decide who live and 253 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 5: some people decide who dies. Look, if Obamacare is here 254 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 5: to stay, and that is the design in the long run, 255 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 5: that government will administer all of your health care needs 256 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 5: and as such they will literally get to decide thumbs up, 257 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 5: thumbs down, Like the old Roman colisseum days, he lives, 258 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 5: Give him the surgery she's too old. Nope, thumb's down. 259 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 5: No surgery for her, soup Nazi stuff, only for your medicine. 260 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 5: That's what's coming. If this isn't fixed, and Republicans are 261 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 5: trying to fix this, I don't think it can be fixed. 262 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 5: It ought to be blown up entirely. But at present 263 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 5: it is the system, and so Republicans are trying to 264 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 5: figure out some squishy ones. Do we just kind of 265 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 5: bandage this into the new year so rates don't hike 266 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 5: on everybody. Come the new year. Democrats aren't going for it. 267 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 5: They want three years extended or nothing. So what's going 268 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: to happen is we're going to get it in January. 269 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 5: And if you're on Obamacare, you're one of these twenty 270 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 5: four million people cub boom, your health insurance rates are 271 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 5: going to go through the roof. Now, whether we like 272 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 5: that or not. What's that going to do to the 273 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 5: Donald Trump affordability push that jd Vance was out there 274 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 5: talking about yesterday? He says, the American people are smart. 275 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 5: They get Rome wasn't built in the day we inherited 276 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 5: a mess. Will is Jdvance? 277 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 11: Right? 278 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 5: Are the American people smart? Will they properly blame Democrats 279 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 5: for inflating their health insurance needs in the new year? Fastedting? 280 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 8: Absolutely not? 281 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: Sorry, who will they blame? 282 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 8: No, they're going to blame the government. They're gona blame 283 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 8: Donald Trump. I'm blaming JD. Vance is going to blame Republicans. 284 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 2: It is a sticky wicket. 285 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 5: Moren a minute. 286 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 2: Will all right? 287 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 5: We had this yesterday at the close of the show, 288 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 5: and it's, in my view, one of the seminal moments 289 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 5: in American history. It is the moment that I identified for 290 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 5: those that have been longtime listeners of the show, particularly 291 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 5: those of you in Philadelphia who've been listening to the show, 292 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 5: you know that when there was a heated primary and 293 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 5: there was still the thought that there might be a 294 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 5: real horse race between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump, 295 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: I took a bit of a career risk. I did 296 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 5: something that I said I would never do again, because 297 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 5: I made the mistake of doing it once in my career, 298 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 5: and I regretted it forever. I told you that back 299 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 5: in twenty fifteen, I said, and I even mentioned this yesterday, 300 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 5: I grudging lee, of course, when Donald Trump became the 301 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 5: nominee in twenty e fifteen sixteen, I grudgingly said, of course, 302 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 5: I'm going to go vote for him. But I didn't 303 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 5: think he could win. I was confident that Hillary Clinton 304 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 5: was going to beat him. Mad enough to admit when 305 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 5: I get it wrong. And I got it wrong. And 306 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 5: by the way, I was not only wrong about the election, 307 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 5: I was wrong about my lack of enthusiasm for Donald Trump, 308 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 5: who has turned out, in my view, to be the 309 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 5: most consequential president of my lifetime. Now I can't say 310 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 5: that I hopefully I've got a few good years ahead, 311 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 5: and we'll see some more really productive change and maybe 312 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 5: a president Vance. I'll remain hopeful, but for now I've 313 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 5: not seen a more consequential president. So my point is 314 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 5: I was wrong when I thought, well, it's got to 315 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 5: be Ted Cruz. 316 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: That's it. 317 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 5: He's the most constitutional guy in the race. And a 318 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 5: lot of people in this audience said to me, then 319 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 5: I was wrong. They were mad at me, really mad 320 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 5: at me, and let me hear it. And so I 321 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 5: sort of walked a plank and learned a valuable lesson 322 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 5: about where the country was, where people's moods were. And 323 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 5: this is ten years ago. 324 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 3: Now. 325 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 5: The country was mad ten years ago, well before Covid, 326 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 5: well before Biden. We were coming in on the tail 327 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 5: end of Barack Hussein Obama. The country was angry and 328 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 5: they wanted to change, a substantive change. And I did 329 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 5: not believe that Donald Trump was necessarily conservative guy. I 330 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 5: remember Rush Limbaugh constantly telling HI about Rush, and that 331 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 5: was clearly obviously his pick. 332 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: I didn't understand that. I challenged Rush. 333 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 5: I said he'd lost his mind, he'd lost his conservative 334 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 5: bona fides. Well, my point in telling you all that 335 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 5: is I tried to stay out of primaries after that, 336 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 5: and I said, you know what, I'm going to listen 337 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 5: diligently as closely as I can to our audience, and 338 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 5: I'm going to see if I can't follow and listen 339 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 5: intently to where they're going so that I don't miss 340 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 5: it again. I don't want to miss a phenomenon like 341 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 5: Donald Trump again. And so I stayed quiet when Ron 342 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 5: DeSantis decided to rise up and challenge Donald Trump in 343 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 5: a primary for a minute, and then the mar A 344 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 5: Lago raid happened, and ed you remember this the day 345 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 5: mar A Lago was raided that day and in the 346 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 5: days after, I said, then and there, I can no 347 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 5: longer stay quiet. I'm not trying to antagonize the Dessanta's 348 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 5: supporters out there, but I can't stay quiet. If we 349 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 5: don't back Trump fully, if Trump does not win reelection, 350 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 5: if Trump does not beat back this raid on his home, 351 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 5: we will have lost the country forever. Remember when I 352 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 5: said that. 353 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 8: I was there, absolutely, Chris yep. 354 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 5: And now a few years later, it turns out it 355 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 5: was as bad as I said it was, and it 356 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 5: is as consequential as I thought it would be. And 357 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 5: we're going to get into it next. Oh, that's a 358 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 5: beautiful shock. I've been there. I've been to that very resort. 359 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, they're in Key West. I 360 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 5: didn't stay there. Somebody far wealthier than me stayed there. 361 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 5: That's a fortune to actually stay at that place where 362 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 5: that camera is mounted on the Salem News Channel. I 363 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 5: stayed at a much cheaper place down the street. But that 364 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 5: is a gorgeous shot of Key West on the Salem 365 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 5: News Channel. If you don't have the app, snagg it 366 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 5: so you can watch it, you can also get yourself 367 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 5: a Samsung Plus television and watch it on the Samsung 368 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 5: TV Plus menu.

Everybody is just 375 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 5: fanning out everywhere trying to stake their claim and grab 376 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 5: their land. And so stay tuned because in twenty twenty six, 377 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 5: we're going to have more news that way.

And for those of you on our 379 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 5: hundreds of radio station affiliates all over the country listening 380 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 5: to us that way, we're glad to have you as always, 381 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 5: so proud to be part of the radio audience.

I mean, sorry, no offense 383 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 5: to those of you watching, but radio is where this 384 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 5: whole thing began twenty five years ago. I love it. 385 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 5: And so if you are listening on the radio this morning, 386 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 5: thank you, And as always, I encourage you let your 387 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 5: local radio station know if they are carrying maybe just 388 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 5: like one hour of this show. 389 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: That's the thing. 390 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 5: There's some people that listen to the show and they 391 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 5: email and they say, what happened to the other two hours? 392 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 5: I said, Well, your local station decides whether they're going 393 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 5: to carry one hour, two hours or three hours, or 394 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 5: whether they're carry it live or later. If you demand 395 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 5: three hours of lives to goll you know what to do. 396 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 5: Pick up the phone and dial dial up and harass 397 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 5: your local radio station and tell them you want all 398 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 5: three live hours and they'll thank you for it. Got 399 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 5: an email this morning from Mark in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. 400 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 5: He said, Chris, it sounds to me like Obamacare is 401 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 5: going to be handled like the organ transplant lists. A 402 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 5: committee of some kind will review each procedure and decide 403 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 5: by age, overall health costs, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. 404 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 2: There will be rationing. 405 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 5: Obama even admitted that himself back in the early days, 406 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 5: and assisted suicide side by side. 407 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: With this hot mess. 408 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,880 Speaker 5: Be me up, Scottie, says Mark in white Bear Lake, Minnesota. Mark, 409 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 5: I couldn't agree with you more, and Merry Christmas to you. 410 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 5: This from Reidlin dot com on that point, and I 411 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 5: will get to this Marlago rage story. I haven't forgotten. 412 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 5: Illinois has become the latest state to legalize assisted suicide. 413 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 5: I did not realize that there are twelve states of 414 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 5: the Union now that allow this, including DC. Did you 415 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 5: know there were that many? I had no idea last 416 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 5: I checked. I haven't been caring to follow the story 417 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 5: closely enough to be honest with you, but Oregon was 418 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 5: the one that I remember, and I guess since another 419 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 5: eleven have signed on to allow people to off themselves 420 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 5: if they'd like. That's a startling trend. The Shawnees Big 421 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 5: Boy late last week signed Senate Bill nineteen fifty into law, 422 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 5: allowing terminally ill, mentally capable adults to obtain lethal drugs 423 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 5: to in their own lives. Pritzker's signature makes Illinois the 424 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 5: twelfth state to legalize the practice. The quotes here in 425 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 5: the readly in dot com article from places like the 426 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 5: Catholic Conference of Illinois say the unintended consequences that arise 427 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 5: from legalized assisted suicide include a large range of possible abuses, 428 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 5: and this is pretty critical. Back to Mark's email on Obamacare, Listen, 429 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 5: it is alarming that in states with legalized suicide, there 430 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 5: are documented cases of people being denied life saving medical 431 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 5: treatment by insurance companies in lieu of what the much 432 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 5: cheaper option of just terminating the life. Now do you 433 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 5: think if Obamacare becomes the law of the land, which 434 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 5: it's quickly becoming. We already know. We just looked this up. 435 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 5: Twenty four million Americans are on it. It was designed, 436 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 5: as you understand, to old people hostage. It was politically 437 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 5: designed by Barack Obama and the Democrats. They lost. They 438 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 5: were in the wilderness politically after they shoved Obamacare home 439 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 5: and a snowstorm on Christmas Eve back in two thousand 440 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 5: and eight nine. I will never forget that ever, and 441 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 5: it was thanks to the turncoat Arl Inspector of Pennsylvania 442 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 5: at the time, who helped that finally happen in a 443 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 5: snowstorm literally I remember it was Christmas Eve of two 444 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 5: thousand and nine, and the Democrats stayed over and with 445 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 5: the help of Arle Inspector flipping, they buy a vote 446 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 5: shoved Obamacare home. 447 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 2: And to this day it was designed. 448 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 5: Democrats lost control of the House for I don't remember 449 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 5: how long, but it was the foreseeable future. Democrats couldn't 450 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 5: win an election in Congress after that for a long 451 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 5: while because the American people didn't want it, but they 452 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 5: pushed it anyway. And why so that we'd come to 453 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 5: this place today, all these years later, and now here 454 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 5: we are. Twenty four million Americans are on this thing 455 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 5: and they can't get off it, and they have no 456 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 5: affordable option, which is not true. And that's why I'm 457 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 5: also glad we have US Medicalplan dot Com as our sponsors. 458 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 5: And I do hope you pick up the phone right 459 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 5: now if you're on Obamacare and you're fretting about this, 460 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 5: I'm not Yes, I'm doing a pitch. But I'm telling 461 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: you this is a service and a friendship that I 462 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 5: have cultivated with John Ruhlman, who I know is saving 463 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 5: people not only money, but is saving them the anxiety 464 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 5: of being held hostage by a government plan. But the 465 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 5: design was always that private health insurance would fall, there 466 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 5: would be no private health insurance plan. All of us 467 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 5: would be on government administered plans. And then along comes 468 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 5: the dark hearts of people like JB. Pritzker, who say, hey, 469 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 5: let's pass a law that says, if you're sick enough, 470 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 5: you can just off yourself. Boy, what a witch's brewed. 471 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 5: Don't you see how that comes down the pike, ed? 472 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 5: I mean, can't you see it when you talk it out? Hey, 473 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 5: if things aren't coming along for you medically, we can 474 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 5: make it legal for you to just end at all 475 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 5: right now. Plus, hey, we're the government, and we'll go 476 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 5: ahead and handle and decide whatever you need in terms 477 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 5: of medicine and costs, and whether we're going to give 478 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: you the procedure or the pill or the surgery or whatever. 479 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 5: We'll make that call. Or we could just cover you 480 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 5: off on yourself right now. I mean, it's legal in 481 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 5: your state after all. 482 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: Can't you see. 483 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 5: I mean, it's like it's when you talk it out, 484 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 5: you see how obvious it is. 485 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 9: It's terrifying because I only looked at this in the 486 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 9: short term, Chris. I only had a short term problem 487 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 9: with how much it cost me and how much it 488 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 9: affected me financially. I walked this out fifteen years and 489 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 9: now it's like, oh my gosh, this is terrifying. I 490 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 9: just the way you just laid it out just scared 491 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 9: the heck. 492 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 5: Out of me. 493 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 8: I'm not gonna lie. 494 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 2: It's it's dark. It's dark stuff. 495 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 5: And people talk about, well, you know, we're controlling the 496 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 5: cost of medicine or whatever. 497 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 6: Not. 498 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 5: Really you're just offering people rather than administering medicine, is 499 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 5: what you're doing anyway. Just and here again, I know 500 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 5: the politics of it. I get it. In the short term, 501 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 5: as Eddie said, people look at they're called my premium, 502 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 5: my premium, not knowing that it's literally rotting the foundation 503 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 5: of human life underneath our feet. In the United States, 504 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 5: with the help of people that are making it legal 505 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 5: for you to kill yourself instead insurance Obamacare. Can't you 506 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 5: wait for the day that the federal government says, well, hey, no, 507 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 5: We're not going to give you a heart transplant, but 508 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 5: if you'd like to just end it all, we'll sign 509 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 5: off on that. Kathleen Sabelias said it once as the 510 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 5: former HHS secretary, Kitty Kat Kathleen Sibelius, I'll never ever 511 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 5: forget it. I've shared the story a thousand times and 512 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 5: i will never forget the moment testifying about a young 513 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 5: girl who needed a lung transplant at the Children's Hospital Philadelphia. 514 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 5: She was on a waiting list, and she was because 515 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: of some political activity around this she got bumped in 516 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 5: line for a lung transplant to save her life. She 517 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 5: was twelve, and there were others who were not only 518 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 5: ahead of her, but there were a lot of people 519 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 5: who gave her not a great prognosis for the lung transplants, 520 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: that it really wasn't worth the effort, that she may 521 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 5: not live through it anyway. To my knowledge, by the way, 522 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 5: she is still alive today. But at the time they 523 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 5: said they weren't even really sure she was worth the expense. 524 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 5: And in open testimony, Kathleen Sibelius was asked, the Health 525 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 5: of Human Services secretary, what about this young girl, you 526 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 5: guys are prepared to say I'm not signing off on 527 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 5: this as the government because you don't like the odds 528 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 5: of her survival. And Kathleen Sebelius said, without missing a beat, Hey, 529 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 5: sometimes you have to make a decision. Some people live 530 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 5: and some people die. These people, Democrats genuinely have no 531 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 5: regard for human life whatsoever. They don't value it, they 532 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 5: don't regard it. 533 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: They see it as disposable. They see it as. 534 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 5: Something they can prevent from happening before even birth, and 535 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: they see it as something they can extinguish while alive. 536 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 5: And by the way, if they don't like what's coming 537 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 5: out of your mouth, they'll kill you. Two. 538 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 2: It's a death cult. 539 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 5: The Democrats are a death cult, and they're signing off 540 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 5: state by state by state to make it legal for 541 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 5: you to kill yourself. And couple that with Obamacare, and 542 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 5: that's where we are. That's where we're headed, government sanctioned 543 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 5: executions because it's just cheaper. And twenty four million people 544 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 5: right now are going my premium next year. You see 545 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 5: the trick. It was always the trick. It was always 546 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 5: the trap. And ironically it's going to be the Republicans 547 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 5: who are going to take it in the seat. 548 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: Next month. When everybody's premiums jump. It's sad. 549 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 5: I mean, I can't say Republicans are blameless in this, 550 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 5: and that they have offered really no alternative. They have 551 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 5: not told the story the way I just told it, 552 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 5: and they've not told it well, they don't tell things well. 553 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 5: It's hard to explain. Though. It's tough to explain. Not 554 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 5: everybody has a microphone. I get it. Eight five five 555 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 5: Stigall is the telephone number. No, I have not forgotten 556 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 5: about the FBI rate of mar Lago, but that is 557 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 5: an important story. I just I couldn't get pasted quickly. 558 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 5: Let me just remind you as we close in on 559 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 5: the end of the week, our prison Fellowship campaign continues 560 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,920 Speaker 5: and we are I really want to get this knocked 561 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 5: out today. I think we can. I was talking about 562 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 5: the Magnificent seven yesterday. This is come the end of 563 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 5: the year. People who are thinking about deductions. People are 564 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 5: do charitable giving and they get to write that off 565 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 5: come tax time. This is a totally tax deductible charitable 566 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 5: endeavor as well. So if like a friend of mine 567 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 5: reached down and they said, you know, I've been thinking 568 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 5: about where to give from my end of your giving 569 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 5: for my business, and this is a great opportunity the 570 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 5: prison Fellowship. So know that every nickel that you donate 571 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 5: is a tax deduction as well. But most importantly, it 572 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 5: helps a child know that a parent who is incarcerated 573 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 5: this Christmas is thinking about them and that they are loved. 574 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 5: Gives them a note from that parent and a Bible. 575 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 5: Can you do thirty bucks to sponsor a child for 576 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 5: this Christmas? Text Chris to nine four eight seven eight. 577 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 5: Text Chris to nine four eight seven eight.

And you know they was up 589 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 12: to no good from day one, even when it came 590 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 12: to doing stuff to a man that have the guts 591 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 12: to stand up for America. When they did that to 592 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 12: President and Trump already knew that they would crook. 593 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 5: At you're talking about raiding his home. 594 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 12: Raiding his home, doing stuff to his family, knocking down 595 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 12: everything what he stands for. And they just don't want 596 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 12: the American people to gain their way of life. 597 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, so you are still thoroughly one hundred and twenty 598 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 5: percent squarely behind Donald Trump at this hour.

She had incurably sorry I 606 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 13: may choke up talking about it. She made the decision 607 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 13: to sign up for hospice care. This was for the 608 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 13: most part, basically assisted suicide. Now we didn't never thought 609 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 13: this would happened. Her idea, she wanted it. The hospital 610 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 13: helped her, and so is that assisted suicide hospice care. 611 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 13: They basically went from progressive care. 612 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 12: To comfort care. 613 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 13: And so if you boil it down, it was kind 614 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 13: of like assisted suicide.

And I will say that this company, 762 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 5: and it's a pleasure to work for this company because 763 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 5: number One, they're faith forward. Their trust in the Lord 764 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 5: first and foremost is what I believe ultimately drives them 765 00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 5: through some of the most difficult stuff that they have weathered. 766 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 5: I mean on a personal level, of course, it's a 767 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 5: much more serious thing as a professional organization. It's also 768 00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 5: serious operationally. It's like, you know, when you lose your 769 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 5: star quarterback on a football team and he's out for 770 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 5: surgery for a year or whatever. You know, that's a 771 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 5: big blow to the organization, never mind what it does 772 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 5: to that person. And so I'm talking about, of course, 773 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 5: those of you who are longtime listeners to the Salem 774 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 5: radio stations across the country, and if you've been watching 775 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 5: the Salem News Channel for any period of time, or 776 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 5: if you know Praguer, you and you've been listening to 777 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 5: the Dennis Peger my colleague and friend. Dennis suffered a 778 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 5: devastating injury that took his voice off the radio. Thank goodness, 779 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 5: he's still with us. But he's still recovering and paralyzed, 780 00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 5: as you will know, and needs assistance, I believe, even 781 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 5: with breathing right now from time to time, and speaking 782 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 5: is obviously incredibly challenging. But he's a warrior and hasn't 783 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 5: lost his spirit and even a little bit, and he 784 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 5: continues to participate from the sidelines with our company, and 785 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,960 Speaker 5: we are thrilled that he's still with us, and we 786 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 5: pray for him every day. I know all of you 787 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 5: who are Dennis Prager friends miss him a lot. So 788 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 5: the company begins to decide what do we do with 789 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 5: the Dennis Prager timeslot while he's out there recovering. And 790 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 5: the decision is we go with the Charlie Kirk Show. 791 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 5: I mean, Eddie, you can't this is some kind of 792 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 5: biblical darkness. You can't you couldn't make up, and then 793 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:38,279 Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk's life is taken. And you know, now as 794 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 5: a show, they're trying to figure out what they want 795 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 5: to do going forward and how to get it done. 796 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,239 Speaker 5: And this has happened in what inside of two years 797 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 5: from one another. I don't know the math on it. 798 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 5: It's these two events happen very closely to one another, 799 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 5: all things. 800 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 2: I mean, one of. 801 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 5: These is like years of devastation to a family and 802 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 5: an organization. Never mind two events like these within a 803 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 5: couple of years. Am I doing the math on that 804 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 5: I have? 805 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 9: The last year it was then twenty twenty four, unfortunately Dennis, 806 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 9: and yes, twenty twenty five we lost. 807 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 5: Charlie, and so you know, this company is trying to 808 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,000 Speaker 5: figure out, all right, well this nationally syndicated time slot 809 00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 5: that was Dennis's for so long, then Charlie's and now 810 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 5: you know, people trying to hold together Charlie Show and 811 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 5: do their best and they're still producing a podcast every day. 812 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 5: But as a radio show, the decision was made, all right, 813 00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 5: what can we do? And some heads got together and 814 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,760 Speaker 5: decided and I was glad to hear this.

And you say, well, there's 839 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 5: a three hour show. That's two what about the other hour, Well, 840 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 5: that first hour is going to be hosted by our 841 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 5: friend and colleague Alex Marlowe, who runs Breitbart News. And 842 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 5: Alex is tremendous. He's been doing a wildly successful podcast 843 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 5: for Breitbart for years. We've had him on the show 844 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,359 Speaker 5: quite a bit, and now Alex will do that first hour. 845 00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 5: So it will be the Alex marlow program at high 846 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 5: noon every day on the Salem News Channel the Salem 847 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,719 Speaker 5: Radio Network, followed by two hours of the Scott Jennings 848 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 5: program into Hugh Hewitt. So that's the big news, the 849 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 5: family news around here. And thrilled for Scott, who's a star. 850 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 5: Alex and Scott are both well established, great conservative voices, 851 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 5: and it just makes good sense. So kudos to Salem 852 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 5: here again for I mean, I don't know how much 853 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 5: one company can go through trying to figure out how 854 00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:33,799 Speaker 5: to arrange things going forward to offer quality programming, but 855 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 5: Salem's done it, and that is, you know, in no 856 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:44,320 Speaker 5: small part to our direct management team of Phil Boyce 857 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 5: who's the vice president of Programming, Carrie Hagen, Dave Santrella, 858 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 5: our president. These are people who Tom Traddup who runs 859 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 5: the radio side. These these look it's not often you're 860 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 5: going to hear me saying I have empathy for the 861 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 5: suits the corner office guys, but I will tell you 862 00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 5: that this has been one of the most extraordinary two 863 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 5: years ed that I think any company should ever have 864 00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 5: to go through, Setting aside the tragedies that have been 865 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 5: these people's families, just as a professional organization, I can't 866 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,080 Speaker 5: explain to you how complex it's been because you're talking 867 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:22,359 Speaker 5: about sponsors, longtime sponsors, people that have been advertisers, which 868 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 5: is obviously revenue. It's just it's bananas, and they've weathered 869 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,240 Speaker 5: it all. And it's I believe ultimately it's because this 870 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,040 Speaker 5: is a company that remains in prayer, on bended knee 871 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 5: and remembering who's in control at all times. I think 872 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,360 Speaker 5: that's how Salem has weathered it as well as they have. 873 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 8: Quite frankly, No, that's exactly it, Chris. And it's funny. 874 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 9: I was talking to our big boss, Phil Boyce at 875 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,480 Speaker 9: the National Religious Broadcasters Convention. We kind of had a, 876 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 9: you know, conversation. We went to dinner and I said 877 00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 9: I was praying for him. I was praying because I 878 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 9: know he was struggling. You know, we were all struggling 879 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 9: with the you know Dennis Prager News last year and 880 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 9: then heading into this year, and that. 881 00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 8: Is exactly what he said. 882 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 9: He's just like, well, I have faith, Eddie, like I 883 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 9: have because I was like, this is this is so challenging, 884 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 9: this is going to be tough. 885 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,399 Speaker 8: I don't know how you're going to do it. 886 00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 9: Like I was kind of doing the like, yeah, this 887 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 9: is this is going to be a big year and 888 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:11,840 Speaker 9: I don't know how you're going to do that. And 889 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,879 Speaker 9: he was and he said it is in God's hands. 890 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 9: He I remember him saying that clearly. 891 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,239 Speaker 5: That is one thing the leadership of this company. And 892 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 5: I'm sorry if I sound like a company manner. I'm 893 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 5: kissing up. I'm sure in a couple of weeks my 894 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 5: mood will change entirely. So let me have the Christmas 895 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 5: spirit here, would you please? 896 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 13: Uh. 897 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 5: The company is many things, but chief among them is 898 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 5: it's led by a group of people who are so faithful. 899 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 5: They stay calm even in what is remarkable adversity. You know, 900 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 5: they're not. They don't lose their heads. They don't have 901 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 5: all staff meetings and all calls where they say, ah, 902 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 5: we're going down. You know, it's it's never been that. 903 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,480 Speaker 5: Have you ever sinceed a bit of panic in the organization, 904 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 5: ed since we've been with them, panic in all this 905 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 5: miss panic, no transparency. It's been tough. I mean they 906 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 5: would tell you it's been tough. They've opened discussed how 907 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 5: time the business is changing on top of all that. 908 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 5: So it's not just you know, it's not just these 909 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,799 Speaker 5: awful tragedies that happened to Dennis and Charlie alone, but 910 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 5: it's that the business is. You know, the tectonic plates 911 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 5: are shifting almost daily, and you know, as a media 912 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,279 Speaker 5: company you're trying to figure out, all right, where does 913 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,879 Speaker 5: where are we going? What does that mean? It's it's 914 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 5: a remarkable time in this business and specifically for the 915 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 5: Salem Media Group. And so my hat's off to those 916 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 5: who run and manage this place. I couldn't do it. 917 00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,920 Speaker 5: It's why I'm not a suit. I want nothing to 918 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 5: do with management ever, that is both in meeting with 919 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:38,720 Speaker 5: them or being it myself. 920 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 2: So that's the news today. 921 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 5: Congratulations to Scott, Congratulations to Alex.

I don't again, I have not forgotten the 948 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 5: mar Alago raid story. I have not, and we are 949 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,279 Speaker 5: going to cover it in more detail coming up in 950 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,400 Speaker 5: a little bit with Mark Weaver, one of our favorite 951 00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 5: legal beagles. So if I don't get to it till, 952 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 5: then so be it. But it's not going to take 953 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 5: me that long. I just wanted to quickly say again 954 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,560 Speaker 5: to We had a caller in a previous hour named James. 955 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 5: He and his four kids are going through their first 956 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 5: Christmas without the lady of the house. And James's wife 957 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 5: named Donna, and James was calling from Florida. The subject 958 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,680 Speaker 5: of assisted suicide came up because Jbie Pritzker is the 959 00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 5: latest governor to sign that into law, and there are 960 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,880 Speaker 5: now twelve states of the Union that alloo assisted suicide, 961 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 5: as well as DC. I didn't know there were that many. 962 00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 5: And James, who's obviously just devastated losing his wife, and 963 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 5: particularly this time of year, it really amplifies that he 964 00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 5: just lost her in October. He said that she had 965 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,840 Speaker 5: just gotten tired of fighting her illness and that it 966 00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 5: was in fact terminal. She wasn't going to be able 967 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 5: to treat her way out of it, and so she 968 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,400 Speaker 5: decided she wanted to go the route of hospice and 969 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,239 Speaker 5: manage her pain until her eventual death. I don't know 970 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:18,920 Speaker 5: if James meant it. His question seemed to imply he 971 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:24,080 Speaker 5: was wondering if that was assisted suicide, and I would 972 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 5: just say that no. First of all, Florida is not 973 00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 5: one of those states. James, and I didn't want to 974 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 5: gloss over this, but too, hospice is not assisted suicide. 975 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 5: I don't view hospice as anything other than someone who 976 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,920 Speaker 5: knows they don't have much longer to live. Hospice, everything 977 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 5: that I've ever been given to understand about it is 978 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,960 Speaker 5: it manages pain and manages the discomfort, and yes, manages 979 00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 5: their slow, eventual path to the end. But it's not 980 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,160 Speaker 5: everything that I've ever understood about hospice. It has nothing 981 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:05,520 Speaker 5: to do. 982 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:07,960 Speaker 2: With expediting death. 983 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:13,400 Speaker 5: It's about making someone comfortable as we lose them, and 984 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,560 Speaker 5: people that do that work. By the way, you will 985 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,680 Speaker 5: never convince me, Eddie, there's not a special place in 986 00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,520 Speaker 5: heaven for like a special VIP section of heaven for 987 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,839 Speaker 5: people to do hospice work, and hospice nurses. You will 988 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 5: never convince me those people are not angels on planet Earth. 989 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,080 Speaker 5: If you've ever met a hospice person who does that work, 990 00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,840 Speaker 5: is that not? I can't imagine. Can you imagine that 991 00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 5: being your living seeing people slipping away before their loved 992 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,359 Speaker 5: ones on the daily Almost can't. 993 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 2: I can't. 994 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,719 Speaker 9: I don't have the God bless those people. I know 995 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:48,800 Speaker 9: that I couldn't do it. I know that for sure, 996 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:49,759 Speaker 9: I could not do that. 997 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 5: And I mean, you know, look, you see violent stuff 998 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,879 Speaker 5: if you're law enforcement. You know, you see intense stuff 999 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 5: if you're in surgery or eers and if you're a doctor, 1000 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 5: and all of that stuff, and I respect all of 1001 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 5: them those things. But the unique place of being someone 1002 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,160 Speaker 5: who is trying to comfort a grieving family as they 1003 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:09,160 Speaker 5: know their loved one is slipping away, and trying to 1004 00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 5: make that loved one comfortable and explain to their living 1005 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:15,759 Speaker 5: relatives what's going on. 1006 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,280 Speaker 2: And I've never. 1007 00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,960 Speaker 5: Met anyone who has said anything less than were it 1008 00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 5: not for those hospice people, we couldn't have gotten through it. So, boy, 1009 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 5: I am impressed as I'll get out. And so I 1010 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,880 Speaker 5: just wanted to make that distinction. James. If that's on, 1011 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 5: I don't know if that's what he meant. But I 1012 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,560 Speaker 5: felt inclined to say, James, if if you felt you 1013 00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:44,600 Speaker 5: were part of something like that, that darker assisted suicide thing, 1014 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,120 Speaker 5: my friend knows certainly not. You were doing everything you 1015 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,879 Speaker 5: could to make your wife comfortable, and she's home now. 1016 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 5: More in a minute, let me get to this story, 1017 00:50:56,160 --> 00:50:57,800 Speaker 5: because I've been talking about it for a while and 1018 00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 5: not been able to get to it. And that is 1019 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,759 Speaker 5: the FBI saying it lacked probable cause for the mar 1020 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,240 Speaker 5: A Lago raid. We will discuss this in more detail 1021 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,240 Speaker 5: with Mark Weaver, but it cannot be dropped. It cannot 1022 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,279 Speaker 5: be glossed over, it cannot be ignored. In fact, I 1023 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:14,319 Speaker 5: would say that this Susie Wiles thing from Vanity Fair 1024 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 5: is probably quite likely one of the reasons it dropped. 1025 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 5: At the same time this report was handed over to Congress, 1026 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,280 Speaker 5: newly declassified emails revealed that the FBI thought it lacked 1027 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,840 Speaker 5: evidence to justify rating Trump's residence at mar A Lago 1028 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 5: for classified documents in the summer of twenty twenty two. 1029 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 5: Internal emails show that the Biden administration's Justice Department attorneys 1030 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,479 Speaker 5: overruled lawyers in the FBI's Washington Field Office, who said 1031 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 5: they lacked probable cause, such as witness testimony that classified 1032 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:55,880 Speaker 5: documents were on the premises. The Justice Department nonetheless pressured 1033 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 5: the FBI to execute the search warrant for the entire 1034 00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 5: home allow, wowing them to conduct an unprecedented and sweeping 1035 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,560 Speaker 5: raid of a former president's residence at a time when 1036 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,560 Speaker 5: mister Trump was considered a likely twenty twenty four presidential candidate. 1037 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,759 Speaker 5: I want you to keep in mind a couple of things. 1038 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:21,799 Speaker 5: Donald Trump was supposedly impeached over a phone call to 1039 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 5: Vladimir Zelensky while he was president in his first term. 1040 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,239 Speaker 2: Do you remember why? 1041 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 5: They said that the reason he called Vladimir Zelensky was 1042 00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:39,640 Speaker 5: to meddle in the coming election, The coming election, by 1043 00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 5: the way, that was years away still, that is the 1044 00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 5: twenty twenty election, the coming election that had not landed 1045 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 5: on a nominee, although I guess now we understand that 1046 00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 5: they had. In fact, it was always baked in the cake. 1047 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 5: And if you'd gone back and really thought through now 1048 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,960 Speaker 5: what we know about all that happened inside the Democrat 1049 00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 5: Party back then, what you can and see is from 1050 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,120 Speaker 5: the very beginning they were telegraphing their plan. Democrats had 1051 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 5: always planned to make that stupid old man their nominee. 1052 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,360 Speaker 5: They had always planned to install Cackle Bridges as his 1053 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:17,000 Speaker 5: vice president, and it seemed ultimately their plan was to 1054 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 5: usurp the old man after his usefulness, looking like the normal, 1055 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 5: comforting centrist, grandfatherly character, to bridge the gap and restore 1056 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:31,440 Speaker 5: normalcy in order after a chaotic Trump administration. Right, that 1057 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 5: was the whole sales pitch for Gramps. Turned out President 1058 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,440 Speaker 5: Otto Penn was leading nothing, running nothing. The henchmen of 1059 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,360 Speaker 5: Barack Obama were. It was a third term of Barack Obama. 1060 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 5: We all understand that Joe Biden did nothing, ran nothing, 1061 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:49,160 Speaker 5: knew nothing, really, but they impeached Donald Trump over a 1062 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,680 Speaker 5: phone call of Latimer Zelensky because they knew even though 1063 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,319 Speaker 5: we were what a couple three years away at the 1064 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 5: time from a twenty twenty election. Democrats had not telegraphed 1065 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 5: that they had a nominee. They hadn't even had their 1066 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 5: primary yet. But they said because he was investigating specifically 1067 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:11,719 Speaker 5: Hunter Biden and Joe Biden collecting checks from Ukraine, this 1068 00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 5: was monkeying with the coming election. 1069 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:15,960 Speaker 2: They were basically. 1070 00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:17,400 Speaker 5: Telling us they knew that Joe Biden was going to 1071 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 5: be their nominee, were they not? As you look back 1072 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 5: on it now, ed, isn't that striking At the time, 1073 00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:26,320 Speaker 5: Like in twenty eighteen, when that phone call had happened 1074 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:30,319 Speaker 5: and Congress was moving to impeach him over it, we 1075 00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,359 Speaker 5: weren't anywhere close to a Democrat primary or even who 1076 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:34,840 Speaker 5: was running at that point. 1077 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 9: Remember, Yeah, that's the timing is. You do have to 1078 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,439 Speaker 9: take a step back to look back at that time 1079 00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 9: and say, oh my gosh, the timing is unbelievable on this. 1080 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,399 Speaker 5: So the point is the justification for impeachment was he 1081 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:52,040 Speaker 5: was meddling in a future election, trying to sideline and 1082 00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 5: punish his future opponent, Joe Biden. That was the justification 1083 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,320 Speaker 5: for the supposed impeachment. 1084 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 13: Right. 1085 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:02,239 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, So go to today, Fast forward today and 1086 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,359 Speaker 5: what the FBI has released about the raid on mar 1087 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,000 Speaker 5: A Lago. Let me read this to you again. Before 1088 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,800 Speaker 5: the raid, an unidentified official at the FBI's Washington Field 1089 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,880 Speaker 5: office wrote that we here at the FBI don't believe, 1090 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,640 Speaker 5: and we have articulated to doj We've established probable cause 1091 00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,120 Speaker 5: for a search warrant. We don't The FBI was telling 1092 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 5: Merrick Garland that DOJ, we we can't. This was Chris 1093 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,760 Speaker 5: Ray's FBI, mind you, not exactly a friend of Donald Trump's. 1094 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 5: But even they said, we look, you're asking us to 1095 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:37,439 Speaker 5: raid mar A Lago. We don't have That's a big deal. 1096 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:38,399 Speaker 5: And it is a big deal. 1097 00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:40,080 Speaker 2: Folks. Do you understand? I know you do. 1098 00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,520 Speaker 5: I'm sorry. This is where I lose my mind. My 1099 00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,760 Speaker 5: blood pressure goes through the roof when I talk about 1100 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 5: this story. Do you understand how close we were to 1101 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 5: losing the country. Do you understand that a sitting president 1102 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 5: and his rogue DOJ ordered a former president's home to 1103 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 5: be swatted and urged, his personal effects, rifled through, his 1104 00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 5: family's personal effects, rifled through, and now we know for 1105 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 5: no justifiable reason whatsoever. The FBI said the DOJ, we 1106 00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 5: can't do that. We do not have probable cause to 1107 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 5: do that. We can't do that. And the Biden administration 1108 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 5: and Merrick Garland did it anyway, and why ultimately to 1109 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 5: impact what they knew would be Donald Trump by this 1110 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,720 Speaker 5: time trying to run a second time and a fear 1111 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 5: that he would win again, which he ultimately did and 1112 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 5: justice prevailed. But when this raid happened, the details of it. 1113 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 5: We didn't know entirely, but I knew one thing. No 1114 00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 5: matter what Donald Trump had or didn't have, there was 1115 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 5: no justification for treating him like some sort of drug zar, 1116 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,719 Speaker 5: like we were raiding Maduro's home or something. And that's 1117 00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,399 Speaker 5: what it was. It was a third world dictatorship move. 1118 00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 5: We've never seen anything like that in this country's history. 1119 00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,240 Speaker 5: And I said, then if that is allowed to stand, 1120 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 5: if that is not punished, if that is not beaten back, 1121 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 5: if that kind of behavior has not made an example 1122 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 5: of and extinguished for good, then we've lost the country. 1123 00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,640 Speaker 5: Add to that the fact that Donald Trump was dragged 1124 00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,439 Speaker 5: through four different courts, they tried to bankrupt and jail him, 1125 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:26,200 Speaker 5: and even allowed him to nearly be murdered in Butler, Pennsylvania. 1126 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,240 Speaker 5: That ultimately helped the American public to wake to the 1127 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 5: idea that there is really a deep state and an 1128 00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 5: establishment media working in concert with the deep state to 1129 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 5: try to destroy the will of the American voter. And thankfully, 1130 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 5: the American voter sought and mobilized, and Trump support galvanized 1131 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,760 Speaker 5: and unified behind him and got him a big win 1132 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 5: last year. And now, hopefully, prayerfully, we have a doj 1133 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 5: that is starting to work to uncover this stuff. This 1134 00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 5: is a huge step forward by cash ptelod FBI turning 1135 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 5: over these documents. SENA Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley called 1136 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 5: these revelations shocking, said the declassified material shows that the 1137 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,280 Speaker 5: August eighth raid of twenty twenty two on mister Trump's 1138 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 5: home was a miscarriage of justice. The FBI confiscated boxes 1139 00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 5: of documents that were used as evidence in special counsel 1140 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:22,120 Speaker 5: Jack Smith's prosecution of mister Trump on charges of mishandling 1141 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 5: classified material. A grand jury later indicted mister Trump on 1142 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 5: forty felony charges. The case was dismissed in twenty twenty 1143 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 5: four by a federal judge who agreed with defense attorneys 1144 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:37,040 Speaker 5: mister Smith had illegally been appointed by the Justice Department. 1145 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 5: But more importantly, the very raid itself to secure the 1146 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,600 Speaker 5: documents they built the case on was obtained illegally, just 1147 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 5: like the surveilled countless numbers of Americans and secured PFISA 1148 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:55,720 Speaker 5: warrants to do that surveillance. This has to be punished. 1149 00:58:56,480 --> 00:59:00,440 Speaker 5: So step one is to win an election, and and 1150 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,360 Speaker 5: that's the big first step. And Donald Trump has thank goodness. 1151 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:08,400 Speaker 5: Step two now is to find this little toad, Merrick Garland, 1152 00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,640 Speaker 5: because he signed off on this. And I got to 1153 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:13,800 Speaker 5: tell you now that we have seen people like Peter 1154 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,440 Speaker 5: Navarro and Steve Bannon putting leg irons at the airport 1155 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:21,080 Speaker 5: and sent off to jail. I'd like to see that 1156 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 5: happen to Merrick Garland. He deserves it. That's as rogue 1157 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:29,720 Speaker 5: as it gets, next to killing outright killing Donald Trump. 1158 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:34,320 Speaker 5: It doesn't get worse than the Department of Justice ordering 1159 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 5: overriding the FBI, saying you find a reason, and the 1160 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,080 Speaker 5: FBI says, we have no reason, and they say, find 1161 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:45,080 Speaker 5: one and go raid his home, and they did. People 1162 00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 5: should be made to pay for this. People should be 1163 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,840 Speaker 5: made to pay legally for this. People should be made 1164 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 5: an example of for that. We do not do this 1165 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 5: in the United States. Sitting presidents do not raid former presidents. Holmes, 1166 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:06,440 Speaker 5: we don't do that in this country. So PAMBONDI paging you, madam, 1167 01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 5: where are we on this? What's the prosecutorial plan? Because 1168 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 5: by god, there'd better be one. The day this happened 1169 01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,840 Speaker 5: was the day I said, if we don't write this injustice, 1170 01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 5: we will have lost the country. This is a precedent 1171 01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 5: we cannot allow to stand. We can't. The severity of 1172 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 5: this is greater than I can express. I don't have 1173 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,000 Speaker 5: words to express how serious this one is. I mean, 1174 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,240 Speaker 5: it's one thing that Joe Biden tried to make us 1175 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:40,240 Speaker 5: all take a shot that didn't even work and threaten 1176 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,920 Speaker 5: to take our jobs from us. It's one thing to 1177 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 5: collude with media or keep us from speaking or lying 1178 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,840 Speaker 5: to us, or gaslighting us. It's quite another to just 1179 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:56,440 Speaker 5: outright open up a full blown all assault raid on 1180 01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 5: the leader of the opposition to them and representative of 1181 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 5: millions of voters. That's next level stuff. If that's allowed 1182 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 5: to stand without punishment, we have lost the country. So 1183 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 5: Donald Trump, I presume, largely won this election because of 1184 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 5: that and nearly being murdered, And so I presume he 1185 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:17,680 Speaker 5: also feels that this is deeply serious, just like I do. 1186 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 5: I would assume no one thinks it's more serious than 1187 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,840 Speaker 5: he does. And so that's why, Because I feel this 1188 01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 5: so deep in my marrow. When I hear these vanity 1189 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,360 Speaker 5: Fair stories on Susie Wiles, or I hear I don't 1190 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:33,280 Speaker 5: like what he said about Rob Reiner, I think, are 1191 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,120 Speaker 5: you kidding me? Do you understand how close we were 1192 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,480 Speaker 5: to losing the country just a couple of years ago, 1193 01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 5: and you're talking about Rob Reiner and Susie Wiles and 1194 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:47,240 Speaker 5: Vanity Fair. Get serious, as Larry says, my friend, my colleague, 1195 01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 5: Larry Elder says, we have a country to save. 1196 01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:49,680 Speaker 2: Wait the hell up? 1197 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:51,920 Speaker 7: You know. 1198 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:56,160 Speaker 5: I got the coolest email yesterday and Merry Christmas to you. 1199 01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 5: Glad to have you along. Our telephone numbers eight five 1200 01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 5: five to Gaul. So this email came in yesterday from 1201 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 5: Tracy in Sarasota, Florida. She said, Chris, I just want 1202 01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,760 Speaker 5: to tell you that I found PhD weight loss because 1203 01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,280 Speaker 5: of your show, and I want to let you know 1204 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 5: how much it's affected my whole family. Said, I signed 1205 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,720 Speaker 5: up and started this past summer. I'm down twenty five 1206 01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,040 Speaker 5: pounds to my goal weight and I've been in maintenance 1207 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,200 Speaker 5: for a few weeks. And then she goes on to 1208 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:26,800 Speaker 5: talk about how her mother has benefited from this, and 1209 01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 5: she talks about her coach, Laurie and her extensive knowledge. 1210 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 5: She said that Laurie, as her counselor, was talking to 1211 01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 5: her about her mother and some health things that her 1212 01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,840 Speaker 5: mother was going through. Gave her some ideas and now 1213 01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 5: her mother feels great. Fast Eddie, this is incredible, and 1214 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,919 Speaker 5: this is the kind of care that the coaches at 1215 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,320 Speaker 5: PhD Weight Loss are engaged in too, the whole health 1216 01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,760 Speaker 5: and wellness of you, mentally and physically, checking in with 1217 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 5: you every week, making sure you're on pace and doing 1218 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 5: everything you need to do, tweaking things if it's not 1219 01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 5: quite working. But to Tracy's point, she said, not only 1220 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:03,280 Speaker 5: have I had great weight loss effects, but Laurie, my counselor, 1221 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,200 Speaker 5: actually talked with me about some things that were bothering 1222 01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 5: my mom and she feels great. She said, my whole 1223 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 5: family has now benefited from the knowledge that they teach 1224 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 5: eating habits and health habits, and I wouldn't have found 1225 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:17,280 Speaker 5: them without your show. Tracy. That's how about that, Fast Eddie. 1226 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:19,920 Speaker 5: Isn't that the coolest story from Tracy and Sarasota, Florida. 1227 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 2: That's PhD Weight Loss. 1228 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:21,800 Speaker 8: That's amazing. 1229 01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,520 Speaker 9: But Chris, that is the attention to detail.

Take advantage 1243 01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,920 Speaker 5: of a big sale she's doing right now. When the 1244 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,640 Speaker 5: calendar turns, it's gonna get more expensive.

Merry Christmas. 1280 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 1: Thanks Chris, same to you. I want to address that 1281 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 1: business with Obamacare you were talking about earlier about how 1282 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,360 Speaker 1: the Republicans are probably going to take it into pants. 1283 01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:49,000 Speaker 5: You know. 1284 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 1: I think our favorite president, my man, is going to 1285 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,480 Speaker 1: be on the TV tonight addressing the nation, and I 1286 01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: think it'd. 1287 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:56,520 Speaker 5: Be a good. 1288 01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,440 Speaker 1: Good time for a little messaging here about who can 1289 01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:04,160 Speaker 1: understand people getting freaked out over the premium going up, 1290 01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 1: but if mister Trump could get the point across that, 1291 01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,920 Speaker 1: if we can instead of giving subsidies to insurance companies, 1292 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:14,920 Speaker 1: pay them directly to the consumer to help offset the 1293 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,760 Speaker 1: costs that are premium increases and also help them shop 1294 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,440 Speaker 1: the free market. I think it comes down to messaging here, 1295 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,440 Speaker 1: and I need to get that point across. 1296 01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:23,840 Speaker 15: You know. 1297 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:25,680 Speaker 5: That's that's my take on it. 1298 01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 2: What do you think you know, Dave? 1299 01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,360 Speaker 5: It's interesting you say that. I got an email from 1300 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 5: another Dave who said so twenty four million Americans, And 1301 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,000 Speaker 5: I know that sounds like a lot. 1302 01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 2: It is a lot. 1303 01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,840 Speaker 5: But basically, he said, I'm frustrated because it sounds like 1304 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,240 Speaker 5: the Republicans are playing to those twenty four million as 1305 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,160 Speaker 5: opposed to considering the three hundred million who aren't on Obamacare. 1306 01:06:42,680 --> 01:06:44,800 Speaker 5: I thought that was a really interesting point. So you 1307 01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,280 Speaker 5: think there's still time for President Trump to talk to 1308 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,320 Speaker 5: those twenty four million and the rest of the country 1309 01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 5: and explain why Obamacare is a bad deal.

I 1483 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:17,280 Speaker 5: think we will in this hour angeltree dot org slash Chris. 1484 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 5: Let's go to our legal beagle, Markweaver. We've had some 1485 01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 5: technical difficulty connecting with him today, So Mark, I'm going 1486 01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:24,439 Speaker 5: to ask you off the top of me, I hold 1487 01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 5: you over for a second segment because I suspect we're 1488 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:26,680 Speaker 5: going to need it. 1489 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:28,160 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning. 1490 01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 11: It would be my pleasure to hold over. 1491 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:32,240 Speaker 2: I appreciate you, thank you so much. 1492 01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,080 Speaker 5: Let me start with the what I suspect, maybe in 1493 01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,360 Speaker 5: my view, the biggest if you want to call it political, 1494 01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 5: but I would say abuse of power story in maybe 1495 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 5: American history, and that was what we've now found was 1496 01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:49,240 Speaker 5: the illegal and improper raid of a former president's home, 1497 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:53,080 Speaker 5: now the sitting president's home by the previous administration's Department 1498 01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 5: of Justice when they were told they did not have 1499 01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:59,839 Speaker 5: proper justification to go do so, and they did it. Anyway, 1500 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 5: When one president's dj raids a former and now current 1501 01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 5: sitting president's home, mark in my view, it doesn't get 1502 01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:10,160 Speaker 5: worse than that. For this country. Our system as we 1503 01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,400 Speaker 5: know it is hijacked in a way that can't be 1504 01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 5: repaired if we don't deal with this swiftly and aggressively. 1505 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,920 Speaker 11: That's all true. Remember, people like you and I were 1506 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 11: criticized by people for calling attention to this raid. You 1507 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,680 Speaker 11: and I have talked about it on these airwaves. Now 1508 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,599 Speaker 11: we have evidence that we were right. Even the FBI 1509 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 11: thought that there was not probable costs. Let's go back 1510 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,360 Speaker 11: a little bit in time. The founding fathers gave us 1511 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,760 Speaker 11: the Fourth Amendment because in England. The King could just 1512 01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,720 Speaker 11: issue a general warrant or have one of his magistrates 1513 01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,920 Speaker 11: to it, and they could go search anywhere and look 1514 01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:49,120 Speaker 11: for dirt on their political opponents. So our founder said, well, 1515 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,000 Speaker 11: we're going to do this differently. We want a fourth amendment. 1516 01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,639 Speaker 11: There has to be very specific probable cause there wasn't 1517 01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:57,960 Speaker 11: any here, and it's got to be signed by a 1518 01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:02,599 Speaker 11: neutral and detached magistrate. The magistrate was a former lawyer 1519 01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 11: from Epstein World who had been publicly critical of Donald 1520 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,919 Speaker 11: Trump on social media. Every part of this search suggests 1521 01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,639 Speaker 11: this was weaponization by the Biden Justice Department. 1522 01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,000 Speaker 5: Who do you believe? Inside doj ultimately said yes to this. 1523 01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:22,360 Speaker 5: You've got to believe something this substantial, rating a former 1524 01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:26,280 Speaker 5: president and the would be nominee to run for president again, 1525 01:17:26,439 --> 01:17:28,920 Speaker 5: Donald Trump. You've got to presume this is big enough 1526 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,320 Speaker 5: that it crossed Merrick Garland's desk. Yeah. 1527 01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 13: Yes. 1528 01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,920 Speaker 11: When I worked to Justice, we call this the fourth floor. 1529 01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:37,439 Speaker 11: I'm sorry. The fourth floor would have been the Deputy 1530 01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,600 Speaker 11: Attorney General. That's normal sign off or something like this. 1531 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,240 Speaker 11: But Merrick Garland works on the fifth floor and this 1532 01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:47,000 Speaker 11: would have been approved by the fifth floor. 1533 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 5: Who should be called before Congress at a minimum and 1534 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,559 Speaker 5: made the answer for this in your view. 1535 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 11: Well, I think everyone in the Biden Justice Department who 1536 01:17:57,080 --> 01:18:00,120 Speaker 11: signed off on this needs to explain what happened. And 1537 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:06,040 Speaker 11: let's remember, violating the civil rights of any citizen is 1538 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,200 Speaker 11: a crime. It's violation of civil rights under color of law. 1539 01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,000 Speaker 11: It's also a civil action. The president could bring his 1540 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 11: own civil action against the members of the FBI and 1541 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:18,360 Speaker 11: the Justice Department. It's hard to sue the government, but 1542 01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,679 Speaker 11: it's possible when they violate your civil rights. 1543 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:28,639 Speaker 5: Can you, legally, as the current attorney general, potentially bring 1544 01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,720 Speaker 5: charges against a former attorney general for something like this 1545 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:33,400 Speaker 5: if you could prove there was criminality. 1546 01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,080 Speaker 11: Certainly. Yeah. When I was at the Justice Department, we 1547 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:41,280 Speaker 11: brought charges against government officials who use their power to 1548 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,360 Speaker 11: violate the civil rights of citizens. Now do I think 1549 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,360 Speaker 11: that's going to happen. It's obviously very unusual, but the 1550 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,599 Speaker 11: entire circumstance is very unusual. 1551 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,880 Speaker 5: I don't know that I can impress upon people more, 1552 01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 5: and I don't mean to be labor this mark. 1553 01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:58,479 Speaker 2: He was impeached. 1554 01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,760 Speaker 5: Donald Trump was impeached because he made a phone call, 1555 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,640 Speaker 5: and it was well before Joe Biden was even that 1556 01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:07,720 Speaker 5: we knew sniffing a nomination or the Democrat Party was 1557 01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 5: going to put him up as a candidate. The primary 1558 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 5: hadn't even been established, and they impeached Donald Trump for 1559 01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,080 Speaker 5: a phone call, claiming he was trying to meddle in 1560 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 5: a coming election. 1561 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:21,080 Speaker 11: What do you call this, Mark, Well, it's been said before, 1562 01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,920 Speaker 11: because it's true. It's what they do in Banana republics. 1563 01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:28,439 Speaker 11: When one dictator is in power, he goes after his 1564 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 11: political opponents so we can stay in power. That's what 1565 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 11: Joe Biden was doing. The people in the Justice Department 1566 01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 11: knew that Joe Biden was failing. Anyone nearby, anybody was 1567 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,320 Speaker 11: out of eyes, knew he was failing. And they knew 1568 01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:43,600 Speaker 11: that Donald Trump was gaining strength. So what was the 1569 01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:50,599 Speaker 11: only solution? Tried to criminalize Donald Trump and delegitimize him 1570 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,840 Speaker 11: as a political candidate. And the fact that we have 1571 01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:56,320 Speaker 11: this evidence means we're not speculating anymore. The FBI said 1572 01:19:56,760 --> 01:20:01,160 Speaker 11: there's not enough probable cost to search to mention they 1573 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:04,160 Speaker 11: had many other ways to get what they thought were 1574 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:08,439 Speaker 11: improperly stored classified records. I think there's a strong argument 1575 01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 11: that Donald Trump had declassified them, but they had many 1576 01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,040 Speaker 11: other ways to do it. Sending in armed agents to 1577 01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:17,760 Speaker 11: search everywhere, including the former First Lady in that current 1578 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,720 Speaker 11: First Lady's underwear drawer is a troubling breach of the 1579 01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,559 Speaker 11: civil rights of Donald Trump and his family. 1580 01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 5: And of course we know Jack Smith ultimately just packed 1581 01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 5: his things and tuck tail and ran away when Donald 1582 01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,439 Speaker 5: Trump won the election. And I guess you can say, well, 1583 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 5: winning an election cures all, but is that satisfactory? Trump won, 1584 01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:36,640 Speaker 5: So let's just drop all this. 1585 01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:39,200 Speaker 11: No, I mean, because people need to be held to account. 1586 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,800 Speaker 11: I believe Jack Smith is heading to the Hill and 1587 01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,640 Speaker 11: he's going to have to answer questions when Capital plilabethtist. 1588 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 11: Remember Jack Smith was a special counsel, but he wasn't 1589 01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 11: an independent council. What does that mean? It means he 1590 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,479 Speaker 11: worked for Merrick Garland. That means Merrick Garland is the 1591 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:58,680 Speaker 11: person in charge of the prosecution and Marrek Garlold of 1592 01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:01,680 Speaker 11: course tates birching order from Joe Biden. So this goes 1593 01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 11: all the way up to the White House. Answers need 1594 01:21:04,280 --> 01:21:06,640 Speaker 11: to be given so we know exactly who knew what 1595 01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:10,360 Speaker 11: and whether there should be criminal charge or for deprivation 1596 01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:12,320 Speaker 11: of civil rights under color of law. 1597 01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,960 Speaker 5: Mark Weaver has written a brand new book, by the 1598 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,519 Speaker 5: Way for children. This would be a great Christmas gift 1599 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:20,800 Speaker 5: if you're a patriot and you want to instill and 1600 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 5: inject patriotism and civics into your young person, whether that's 1601 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 5: a child or a grandchild, or a niece or a nephew, 1602 01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:29,880 Speaker 5: or a neighbor or somebody at church. 1603 01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:30,080 Speaker 15: You know. 1604 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:34,439 Speaker 5: God Bless America two hundred and fifty years Strong. Mark, 1605 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 5: with just about thirty seconds or so to go, I'd 1606 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:38,880 Speaker 5: love for you to pitch this book again because I 1607 01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:40,920 Speaker 5: think people ought to know about it and I introduce 1608 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,040 Speaker 5: their young people to it. 1609 01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:44,599 Speaker 11: Thank you. It tell us the history that's not being 1610 01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:48,320 Speaker 11: taught anymore. God's hand was on our country and led 1611 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,759 Speaker 11: us through some difficult times but made us the greatest 1612 01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,400 Speaker 11: country on earth. Children need to know the story. It's 1613 01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:56,679 Speaker 11: wonderfully illustrated and it can be read aloud or read 1614 01:21:56,720 --> 01:21:59,680 Speaker 11: by children. It's called God Bless America two hundred and 1615 01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:01,320 Speaker 11: fifty Your Strength on Amazon. 1616 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,479 Speaker 5: That's awesome.

Nevertheless, 1623 01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:26,800 Speaker 5: the east wing of the White House torn down, a 1624 01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:30,639 Speaker 5: ballroom being built, A wing of government went to court 1625 01:22:30,680 --> 01:22:34,639 Speaker 5: over it. That's ended as of yesterday. We'll talk about 1626 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:37,880 Speaker 5: it next. Mark Weaver good enough to come back and 1627 01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 5: visit us. We got him back on the camera on 1628 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,040 Speaker 5: the Salem News Channel. Glad to have you back, Mark, 1629 01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:45,080 Speaker 5: and thank you, former Department of Justice spokesperson. The FBI 1630 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:49,360 Speaker 5: is being criticized a bit here for its initial handling 1631 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,479 Speaker 5: of this Brown University shooting. Mark, and I just kind 1632 01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,640 Speaker 5: of wanted to get your assessment of it, as you 1633 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:56,840 Speaker 5: see it. Is it fair to be critical of the 1634 01:22:56,920 --> 01:22:59,200 Speaker 5: way it was handled. They detained a guy and then said, oh, no, 1635 01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,400 Speaker 5: that's not the guy. We've got a ton of really 1636 01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:04,920 Speaker 5: kind of grainy and bad camera footage. People critical of 1637 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,160 Speaker 5: Brown for not having the proper cameras. I assume they'll 1638 01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:11,120 Speaker 5: nab the guy. I assume you don't get to walk 1639 01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,439 Speaker 5: onto a campus and assassinate people and not be caught. 1640 01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 5: I assume what do you think about this? 1641 01:23:16,760 --> 01:23:20,479 Speaker 16: Well, the FBI clearly misstep by detaining somebody who really 1642 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,720 Speaker 16: had nothing to do with the crime, at least appears that. 1643 01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,920 Speaker 16: But I think the larger mistakes have been made by 1644 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:30,519 Speaker 16: the mayor of Providence, the police chief of Providence University president. 1645 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:35,760 Speaker 16: They've not bestowed any credibility upon themselves with their press briefings. 1646 01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:41,640 Speaker 16: Let's remember Brown University has several billion dollars in endowments, 1647 01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,240 Speaker 16: but they don't have security camera footage in the building 1648 01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:48,799 Speaker 16: where this took place. We've seen some of this grainy footage. 1649 01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,719 Speaker 16: I remember the big foot footage from the seventies, probably faked, 1650 01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 16: but much clearer than the footage we're seeing for this. 1651 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:01,560 Speaker 16: So laughing matter because we really want to get to 1652 01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:03,880 Speaker 16: the bottom of this. But it is laugh of bull 1653 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 16: that at Brown University and Providence mayor and police chief 1654 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:09,679 Speaker 16: have handled this so poorly. 1655 01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 5: We'll continue to track that, I assume. I mean, are 1656 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,080 Speaker 5: you optimistic they catch the guy that caught this Louisy Mannger? 1657 01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:17,880 Speaker 5: You only guy faster than they caught this guy, But 1658 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 5: are you pretty confident they'll figure it out anyway, I. 1659 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:24,160 Speaker 16: Am, but obviously every day that goes by, he can 1660 01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:26,519 Speaker 16: be further and further away. We just don't know whether 1661 01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,920 Speaker 16: he was able to cover his tracks. You'd like to 1662 01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,680 Speaker 16: think that he's left some evidence because this really, this 1663 01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 16: is horrible. I'm also frustrated that we don't really know 1664 01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:39,160 Speaker 16: more details. Even within six hours, the university at President 1665 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 16: couldn't describe what the students were doing there. 1666 01:24:42,439 --> 01:24:43,800 Speaker 5: Law enforcement officials have been. 1667 01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 16: Unwilling to describe what this shooter yelled as he walked 1668 01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:49,920 Speaker 16: into this economic study group. 1669 01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:53,960 Speaker 5: I died away. There are multiple are There is reporting 1670 01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 5: now Mark that there are multiple witnesses that suggest he 1671 01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:58,680 Speaker 5: allegedly shouted atlu Lochbar. 1672 01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,080 Speaker 2: Before he opened fire while he was a fire especial. 1673 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,080 Speaker 5: Some witnesses are saying, yeah. 1674 01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:06,719 Speaker 16: Our witnesses say that we've had no confirmation from anyone 1675 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 16: in a law enforce, but they've talked to the witnesses. 1676 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:10,479 Speaker 2: They've held that back. 1677 01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:14,760 Speaker 16: So these your information that would make people feel more 1678 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,599 Speaker 16: comfortable that the right people are in charge. I come 1679 01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,600 Speaker 16: alongside police leaders all the time and advise them on 1680 01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 16: crisis communications. We've handled dozens of high profile incidents like this. 1681 01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:30,439 Speaker 16: You don't get credibility by waffling, by not knowing the answers, 1682 01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 16: and by appearing unprepared in these press briefings. 1683 01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:40,599 Speaker 5: Mark the National Trust for Historic Preservation filed a federal 1684 01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:44,519 Speaker 5: lawsuit Friday of last week to block President Trump's construction 1685 01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:51,000 Speaker 5: of his new ballroom. Yesterday, a federal judge was unconvinced 1686 01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:54,479 Speaker 5: that the White House should stop ballroom construction, but did say, hey, 1687 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:56,760 Speaker 5: I want plans submitted. We will address this. I want 1688 01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:58,759 Speaker 5: to make it clear you need to produce your plans 1689 01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 5: for what the new structure will and I want them 1690 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:04,760 Speaker 5: final by the end of the month or else. I 1691 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:05,080 Speaker 5: don't know. 1692 01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:06,840 Speaker 2: Is this much ado about nothing? 1693 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,600 Speaker 5: But this is a Bush appointed judge who said, I 1694 01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,920 Speaker 5: don't see any reason to stop the build, but just 1695 01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:12,719 Speaker 5: show me the plans. 1696 01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,680 Speaker 16: Where were the lawsuits when Barack Obama did a much 1697 01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,280 Speaker 16: bigger renovation to put in a basketball court, and when 1698 01:26:21,320 --> 01:26:24,400 Speaker 16: Harry Truman came in and made significant changes in the 1699 01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 16: White House. This is all about Trump as well. Sadly, 1700 01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:31,680 Speaker 16: it's going to be a wonderful new facility. All of 1701 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,600 Speaker 16: these stories will be memory. Hold that there were criticisms 1702 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:37,040 Speaker 16: of that. People will move right along so I think 1703 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:38,320 Speaker 16: the judge made the right decision. 1704 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 5: This has already started. 1705 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:41,760 Speaker 16: It's the President's decision, and it's going to be a 1706 01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,519 Speaker 16: wonderful addition to the White House complex. 1707 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:46,960 Speaker 2: Mark Weavery, you're the best. 1708 01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:48,720 Speaker 5: I don't know if we talked before Christmas, but if 1709 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:50,280 Speaker 5: we don't, I hope you have a very merry one. 1710 01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:53,080 Speaker 2: My friend, Sam, do you marry Christmas? 1711 01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:58,240 Speaker 5: CHRISTI Gaull God Bless America two hundred and fifty years strong, 1712 01:26:58,280 --> 01:26:59,040 Speaker 5: as his book. 1713 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:00,960 Speaker 2: More in a moment. 1714 01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 5: We're eighty kids away?

Not going to discourage giving even after 1725 01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:41,120 Speaker 5: we hit twenty six hundred kids. By the way, but 1726 01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:43,720 Speaker 5: if you haven't done so yet. We set a goal 1727 01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 5: for Friday, twenty six hundred kids to have a Christmas gift. 1728 01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,960 Speaker 5: They have an incarcerated parent and maybe not a lot 1729 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,240 Speaker 5: of joy in their lives right now, but a gift 1730 01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 5: from that parent, a note from that parent, and a 1731 01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,320 Speaker 5: Bible that could change, literally that could change some of 1732 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:03,559 Speaker 5: these kids to victories.

Alex Marlow is editor 1752 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,559 Speaker 5: in chief at Breitbart News. He's been doing a wildly 1753 01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:59,920 Speaker 5: popular podcast for a long long time, and the people 1754 01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:05,240 Speaker 5: at the top of the Salem media ecosystem correctly decided 1755 01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:08,960 Speaker 5: that both he and Scott Jennings would make tremendous additions 1756 01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,200 Speaker 5: to the network in the new year, as the Charlie 1757 01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:15,880 Speaker 5: Kirk Show is obviously undergoing what it's been undergoing. Dennis 1758 01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:19,080 Speaker 5: Prager before that, Alex, congratulations. First of all, welcome formally 1759 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,280 Speaker 5: to the Salem News Channel in the Salem Radio Network. 1760 01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:23,840 Speaker 7: Thanks Christ your team is so kind. 1761 01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:26,240 Speaker 4: It was the first email I got before even the 1762 01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:28,920 Speaker 4: news was public was from your staff saying, hey, come on, 1763 01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:29,960 Speaker 4: let's talk about it. 1764 01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,120 Speaker 7: And I said, I didn't even know if I can 1765 01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,639 Speaker 7: talk about it yet. It's so early weekend. 1766 01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 4: The needs out and people have been known to remind me. 1767 01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:41,360 Speaker 4: Dennis Prager called the staff at Salem the faculty. I 1768 01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:43,639 Speaker 4: know that's what they use in the Hewett office. I've 1769 01:29:43,640 --> 01:29:46,439 Speaker 4: been filling for you a lot lately, and it's the 1770 01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:48,840 Speaker 4: smartest group of people on talk radio my opinion. I've 1771 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:50,760 Speaker 4: actually thought that for a long time, even when I 1772 01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:53,760 Speaker 4: wasn't with Salem. So I'm happy to be on the air. 1773 01:29:54,040 --> 01:29:56,800 Speaker 4: There's just something magical about live radio. I've always loved it. 1774 01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,439 Speaker 4: It was my first love in the media, and as 1775 01:29:59,680 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 4: I to be back on the ear live. 1776 01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:03,880 Speaker 2: That's what's so cool about you and Scott. 1777 01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,920 Speaker 5: You're both lovers of radio, and while we're streaming on 1778 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:08,880 Speaker 5: the Salem News channel as well, and people listen to 1779 01:30:08,960 --> 01:30:11,240 Speaker 5: your podcast and our podcast later. We're in a digital era, 1780 01:30:11,320 --> 01:30:14,000 Speaker 5: and that's what I was explaining earlier. You can appreciate 1781 01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:18,360 Speaker 5: this better than most. If this weren't a god honoring company, 1782 01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:21,160 Speaker 5: I don't know what would become of it. Because two 1783 01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:27,519 Speaker 5: human tragedies happened, almost back to back simultaneously, two stars, 1784 01:30:27,760 --> 01:30:32,840 Speaker 5: I mean just outright stars of not just radio and broadcast, 1785 01:30:32,920 --> 01:30:37,439 Speaker 5: but of conservatism losing Dennis's capacity to host the show, 1786 01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,679 Speaker 5: and then of course losing Charlie Alex. It would devastate 1787 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:42,960 Speaker 5: a lot of other organizations, but Salem put their heads 1788 01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:47,320 Speaker 5: together and smartly put you and Scott in this time slot, 1789 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:48,960 Speaker 5: and you're going to pick up and run with it. 1790 01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:52,400 Speaker 5: And you've already done just outstanding work. Your reputations both 1791 01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:55,160 Speaker 5: precede you. But you know what I'm saying, this would 1792 01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:59,280 Speaker 5: devastate lesser companies. I must say, Yeah, it really. 1793 01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:02,920 Speaker 4: Is amazing how Salem's weather this. And I could see 1794 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:09,120 Speaker 4: Phil Boyce, who runs Talk at Salem, was immediately protective 1795 01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:11,920 Speaker 4: of the whole group of us when Charlie passed, and 1796 01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:14,719 Speaker 4: I know that he immediately wanted to start putting together 1797 01:31:15,640 --> 01:31:19,360 Speaker 4: something that would be great both for Charlie's legacy but 1798 01:31:19,479 --> 01:31:22,360 Speaker 4: also for the station. And I could see the wheels 1799 01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:26,799 Speaker 4: turning right away. Charlie and I were very close. Dennis 1800 01:31:26,840 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 4: prager obsession is well known. There were years would go 1801 01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,040 Speaker 4: by I would miss a minute of his show. So 1802 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 4: there's something a little bittersweet about having one of my 1803 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:38,680 Speaker 4: or having my live hour be when Charlie would have 1804 01:31:38,720 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 4: been on the air. I was a weekly guest from Charlie' 1805 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,240 Speaker 4: show in the last week of his life, and I 1806 01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:45,800 Speaker 4: really was deeply proud, and. 1807 01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:49,479 Speaker 7: He was a close friend. He really was. 1808 01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,280 Speaker 4: He got to start writing for me at brightbart news. 1809 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:53,360 Speaker 4: But Charlie kirkshow is going to go on as a 1810 01:31:53,400 --> 01:31:56,240 Speaker 4: podcast and as a video cast, so people be able 1811 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:58,320 Speaker 4: to get that show. Turning Points do an amazing job, 1812 01:31:58,920 --> 01:32:00,439 Speaker 4: and I think I'm just gonna be able to add 1813 01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,720 Speaker 4: a little bit to what people's daily diet of news 1814 01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:04,720 Speaker 4: is and I'm excited. 1815 01:32:04,479 --> 01:32:04,760 Speaker 15: To do so. 1816 01:32:05,720 --> 01:32:07,840 Speaker 5: We are too. We're glad to have you. Let's dive 1817 01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,360 Speaker 5: into a couple of stories. I'm not one for this 1818 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:13,920 Speaker 5: typically other than I know if you're on the social 1819 01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,479 Speaker 5: media sites, you see a lot of this. I know, 1820 01:32:17,400 --> 01:32:21,879 Speaker 5: to America's future and our political lives, it's not that important. 1821 01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 5: But I know a lot of people are discussing this 1822 01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:28,360 Speaker 5: brokered summit between Erica Kirk. You mentioned Turning Point, she's 1823 01:32:28,400 --> 01:32:33,280 Speaker 5: running it now, Yeah, and Candace Owens, who has in 1824 01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:38,000 Speaker 5: my view, just been outrageous. Apparently Megan Kelly alerted her 1825 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:40,560 Speaker 5: audience yesterday to the fact that she's been talking to 1826 01:32:40,640 --> 01:32:42,679 Speaker 5: these women to get together and sit down and speak. 1827 01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:45,559 Speaker 5: How do you How does Alex Marlow see this whole? 1828 01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:46,439 Speaker 2: Miss? 1829 01:32:47,680 --> 01:32:47,880 Speaker 15: Yeah? 1830 01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:50,800 Speaker 4: You know it's interesting because my initial reaction was, what 1831 01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,840 Speaker 4: good could possibly happen for Erica Kirk to sit down 1832 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:57,640 Speaker 4: with Candace to indulge Candace, who we've been watching just 1833 01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:00,599 Speaker 4: completely self imlate. She's been completely lighting her self on fire. 1834 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:04,440 Speaker 4: She was a person who was beloved by the conservative 1835 01:33:04,479 --> 01:33:09,120 Speaker 4: movement for years and then has just turned into this 1836 01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:14,759 Speaker 4: sort of this conspiracist. But it's even beyond that, because 1837 01:33:15,800 --> 01:33:20,960 Speaker 4: she's conducting herself exactly the way a divisive figure would 1838 01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:23,040 Speaker 4: have been concocted in a lab by the left to 1839 01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:23,400 Speaker 4: try to. 1840 01:33:23,439 --> 01:33:24,040 Speaker 2: Bude the right. 1841 01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:29,000 Speaker 4: And that's exactly the persona that she's assumed when she 1842 01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:32,080 Speaker 4: built this audience of a bag of faithful who loved her. 1843 01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:35,080 Speaker 7: And what is Erica Kirk gonna do with Candace? 1844 01:33:35,240 --> 01:33:38,640 Speaker 4: And then the reaction since the meeting has been all 1845 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,720 Speaker 4: of Candas's fans are mad at her. Candas is making 1846 01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,840 Speaker 4: a fool of herself, dancing to Jewish music or something 1847 01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:47,320 Speaker 4: to act like the Jews bought her off on her 1848 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:50,600 Speaker 4: show to make fun of it, which is just completely ridiculous. 1849 01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,599 Speaker 4: And Erica, who is i've gotten to know a little bit, 1850 01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:57,080 Speaker 4: is a incredibly classy person. It just is coming off 1851 01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:59,800 Speaker 4: looking completely classy and all this. So this is why 1852 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,680 Speaker 4: my initial reaction was to say, no, this is outrageous, 1853 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,680 Speaker 4: but That's why you sometimes withhold your takes, Chris. You 1854 01:34:06,040 --> 01:34:07,920 Speaker 4: don't have to weigh in right away. You can see 1855 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:10,479 Speaker 4: where the dust settles. It's looking great for Eric as 1856 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:10,800 Speaker 4: of now. 1857 01:34:12,520 --> 01:34:14,280 Speaker 5: I want to ask you about another thing. I really 1858 01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:16,760 Speaker 5: I didn't give it a lot of oxygen, but again 1859 01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:21,439 Speaker 5: it's out there. Susie Wiles apparently sat down with Vanity 1860 01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:24,799 Speaker 5: Fair some eleven times. It's reported eleven times. 1861 01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:25,599 Speaker 13: Now. 1862 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:29,200 Speaker 5: Look, do I doubt that Vanity Fair took conversations with 1863 01:34:29,280 --> 01:34:30,479 Speaker 5: Susie Wyles out of context? 1864 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:31,080 Speaker 8: Not at all. 1865 01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:34,280 Speaker 5: I'm certain they did. I am stunned to learn that 1866 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:38,000 Speaker 5: Susie Wiles gave eleven interviews to Vanity Fair. Though I mean, 1867 01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:39,640 Speaker 5: we shouldn't we talk about that. 1868 01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of these ones where in Trump forty five, 1869 01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,680 Speaker 4: which is what they call the first administration in the 1870 01:34:46,720 --> 01:34:48,920 Speaker 4: White House, they would do this stuff all the time, 1871 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:51,800 Speaker 4: and I would constantly pull my hair out over why 1872 01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:53,160 Speaker 4: are they trying to talk to these people. 1873 01:34:53,520 --> 01:34:57,160 Speaker 7: They don't need to court them. We don't maga media. 1874 01:34:57,200 --> 01:35:00,559 Speaker 4: Our ecosystem is big enough where we don't need approval. 1875 01:35:00,760 --> 01:35:03,599 Speaker 4: And all they're going to do is particularly in print, 1876 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:07,240 Speaker 4: where you'll never have the chance of getting your full quote, 1877 01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,160 Speaker 4: your full piece, the full contacts and your answers. Of 1878 01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:12,080 Speaker 4: course they're going to use it as a hit piece. 1879 01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,760 Speaker 4: And that's exactly what this turned out to be. Now 1880 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:16,160 Speaker 4: do I think it makes a difference. 1881 01:35:16,200 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 5: I don't know. 1882 01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 4: I don't know how affected Susie is by on a 1883 01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,640 Speaker 4: personal level. But what I do know is that this 1884 01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:24,800 Speaker 4: was a It seems to be an unforced error. But 1885 01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,080 Speaker 4: although Shusee Wiles is terrific that White House. 1886 01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:31,599 Speaker 5: Is a pleasure to be at, they are so in fact, 1887 01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:34,599 Speaker 5: Alex could I, yeah, I'm sorry to interrupt you. Could 1888 01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:36,679 Speaker 5: I play for you Jade Vance's response to this shift 1889 01:35:36,720 --> 01:35:38,720 Speaker 5: that I thought it really telling to your point, and 1890 01:35:38,800 --> 01:35:40,920 Speaker 5: then I'd love for you to continue Number twenty two here, Paul, 1891 01:35:40,960 --> 01:35:42,920 Speaker 5: if you would please. This is a Jada Advance on 1892 01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,120 Speaker 5: the stump in Allentown talking about this question of Susie 1893 01:35:46,160 --> 01:35:49,080 Speaker 5: Wiles and Vanity Fair vice. 1894 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,519 Speaker 17: President Jacob Bogans from the Washington Post. 1895 01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:52,920 Speaker 3: It's good to see you and to see you too. 1896 01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:56,519 Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. Thank you say to you. Unfortunately, I have 1897 01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:57,200 Speaker 3: to ask a bit. 1898 01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 17: Of an off topic question from affordability because snooze events 1899 01:36:00,040 --> 01:36:02,800 Speaker 17: you intervene and that is the interviews that White House 1900 01:36:02,880 --> 01:36:06,040 Speaker 17: Chief of Staff Susie Wilds gave to Vanity Fair, in 1901 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,720 Speaker 17: which she's quoted as referring to you as excuse me, 1902 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:13,120 Speaker 17: and again not my words, sir, but a conspiracy theorist 1903 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:19,240 Speaker 17: of a decade, and described your transformation from someone who 1904 01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,680 Speaker 17: once opposed President Trump to now his vice president is 1905 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:24,200 Speaker 17: an act of political expediency. 1906 01:36:24,560 --> 01:36:26,160 Speaker 5: And I'd like to give you the chance to respond 1907 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:26,559 Speaker 5: to that, sir. 1908 01:36:27,160 --> 01:36:29,400 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, if. 1909 01:36:30,680 --> 01:36:34,679 Speaker 10: Susie is like I'll trust, I'll trust what you said. 1910 01:36:34,680 --> 01:36:36,200 Speaker 10: I haven't looked at the article. I of course have 1911 01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:40,960 Speaker 10: heard about it, but conspiracy theorists sometimes I am a 1912 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:43,599 Speaker 10: conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories 1913 01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:44,080 Speaker 10: that are true. 1914 01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:50,519 Speaker 5: So I recommend people go listen to his entire answer. 1915 01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:52,120 Speaker 5: It's about four minutes long, so I'm not going to 1916 01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:55,040 Speaker 5: take four minutes Alex. But he went on to lay 1917 01:36:55,120 --> 01:36:58,799 Speaker 5: out why everything that he doubted was in fact correct 1918 01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:00,960 Speaker 5: to be doubted. He didn't went on to make the 1919 01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,479 Speaker 5: case that Susie Wiles is tremendous. Everyone in the cabinet, 1920 01:37:03,520 --> 01:37:06,000 Speaker 5: as well as Don Junior said yesterday, Susie is tremendous. 1921 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:11,200 Speaker 5: Trump himself said, I'm with her, She's tremendous. So where 1922 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:11,840 Speaker 5: does that leave us? 1923 01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that there's a lot of trash talk 1924 01:37:16,400 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 4: that goes on in the Trump White House, and that's 1925 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,760 Speaker 4: why when you don't have full context, it doesn't none 1926 01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:22,839 Speaker 4: of the answers make a difference. 1927 01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:23,000 Speaker 3: To me. 1928 01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:24,840 Speaker 4: I've had the benefit of spending some time there, and 1929 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:26,519 Speaker 4: I'll tell you everyone gets along great, as far as 1930 01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:28,960 Speaker 4: I can tell, a lot better than the prior White House, 1931 01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:30,920 Speaker 4: where people were on pins and needles. They're on eggshells 1932 01:37:30,960 --> 01:37:33,840 Speaker 4: because there was so much leaking against one another. This one, 1933 01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:37,120 Speaker 4: there's very little leaking against one another, and Susie just 1934 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,679 Speaker 4: runs an amazing ship. I think part of the reason 1935 01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:42,080 Speaker 4: why people have been why the president has been so 1936 01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,519 Speaker 4: effective is because of Susie. She does make all the 1937 01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:47,000 Speaker 4: trains run on time. It's a twenty four to seven job. 1938 01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,800 Speaker 4: She gets very little press coverage, and obviously she just 1939 01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:52,640 Speaker 4: got some and it's really negative. So it's kind of 1940 01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:55,000 Speaker 4: horrible and I do feel bad for her. But there 1941 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:56,920 Speaker 4: are lessons here, which is that you should not be 1942 01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,960 Speaker 4: talking to the n D Fair unless you're absolutely positive 1943 01:38:00,040 --> 01:38:01,000 Speaker 4: of something positive. 1944 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:01,760 Speaker 5: Is going to come out of it. 1945 01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 7: But how could you ever know that? 1946 01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,160 Speaker 4: It's a total waste of time for anyone be giving 1947 01:38:06,200 --> 01:38:09,040 Speaker 4: interviews to the establishing media at this point, Magamedia is 1948 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 4: where you should be spending your time. 1949 01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:13,519 Speaker 5: Yeah, Alex. By the way, Jade Vance also concluded with 1950 01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:16,439 Speaker 5: that comment. He said, effectively, and I'm paraphrasing, I think 1951 01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:18,400 Speaker 5: we should all know better than to talk to Vanity Fair. 1952 01:38:18,520 --> 01:38:20,160 Speaker 5: So he wasn't he kind of I won't say he 1953 01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 5: took a shot, but he wasn't afraid to kind of 1954 01:38:22,080 --> 01:38:23,599 Speaker 5: admonish her a little bit there, I think. 1955 01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,160 Speaker 7: Absolutely, And he shouldn't have been. 1956 01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:28,240 Speaker 4: I mean, it's the writer, but look, it's just honest 1957 01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:30,160 Speaker 4: to say that it was. This is the mistake that 1958 01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:33,160 Speaker 4: this happened, because again, it's taking our eyes off of 1959 01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:35,280 Speaker 4: the ball, and it means that we're reacting to it 1960 01:38:35,439 --> 01:38:38,760 Speaker 4: versus setting the agenda, which is exactly why Trump and 1961 01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:41,840 Speaker 4: Wiles's White Housband so effective, is that we're reacting to 1962 01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,600 Speaker 4: the media less and we're setting the agenda more So. 1963 01:38:44,920 --> 01:38:48,080 Speaker 4: It's just a reminder that the fake news is the 1964 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:50,280 Speaker 4: enemy of the people. And I just don't know how 1965 01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:52,040 Speaker 4: much reck's going to get out of the article other 1966 01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,320 Speaker 4: than it's just going to pop some people's balloons. 1967 01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 5: I know you can appreciate limited time.
