Speaker 5: you are somebody who buys your own health insurance and

21
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 5: you're paying a fortune for it. I have a friend

22
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 5: at church. This just happened this week. He just texted

23
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 5: me today to Chris, thank you for sending me to

24
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 5: John and his team. I called, he's in between jobs

25
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 5: right now. And one of the biggest stressors they had was,

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 5: how are we going to afford buying our own health

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 5: insurance when we're down to one income in the house

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 5: right now? And I said, you've got to call John

29
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 5: and his team, and they did, and they were so

30
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 5: relieved that they were actually able to get insurance for

31
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 5: their family of four without stressing or paying some exorbitant

32
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 5: sum of money for a Cobra plan. This is the

33
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 5: second friend in between jobs who has saved hundreds, literally

34
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 5: hundreds of dollars a month. My parents, seniors, and my

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: step parents also seniors. All four of them have saved

36
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 5: each hundreds of dollars a month with their supplemental health

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 5: insurance plan with Medicare because they reached out to John's

Speaker 5: telephone number eight five five Stagall if you want to

51
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: get in here today.

52
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: And I am telling you people that.

53
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: Have been complaining about Apple podcasts, I you're right. I

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: looked into this, painstaking research went into this. I have

55
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: not been having trouble with it, and if I have

56
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 5: trouble with it, well, then naturally everybody would be. So

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: when I start hearing from people that say, Stickhall, your

58
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 5: podcast hasn't been downloading on Apple, and I say, well,

59
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 5: that's not possible because I get it every day on

60
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 5: my own phone and it's working for me. But it

61
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 5: turns out that there have been a number of you

62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 5: that have been letting me know that, for whatever reason,

63
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 5: your podcast is not updating The Stick Gall Show podcast.

64
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 5: And so I looked into this and apparently, shocker. I

65
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 5: know you'll find this shocking, because you know how much

66
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 5: I love this. Apple apparently released some kind of update,

67
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: some kind of tweak, some kind of betterment to their

68
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 5: system of podcasts downloading for you, and inevitably, somehow, for

69
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 5: some reason, it ended up screwing everything up, and it

70
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 5: threw a ringe in things. And then for whatever reason,

71
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 5: they're fixed. They're upgrade that was going to make your

72
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: life easier and better, stopped allowing new updates to many show.

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 5: It wasn't just mine, I'm told. I reached out to

74
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 5: the Grand Poohba of the Salem Podcast Network and he said, yes,

75
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 5: this has happened to a few hosts, a few a

76
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 5: few shows, so not just ours. But anyway, he said,

77
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 5: they quickly issued a correction. And I will just tell

78
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 5: you Apple podcast people, if you listen that way and

79
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 5: you haven't noticed updates, you've got to refresh or reload

80
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: your Apple podcast app because they've they've reissued a tweak

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 5: and now it's fixed. But you've got to It's not

82
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: just a matter of your phone. It's actually got to

83
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: be the app. So you've got to like either reinstall

84
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: or refresh the app. Got it now Mine automatically refrash,

85
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: reinstalled or whatever. So everything's fine, and you can get it.

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 5: By the way, you can always get it on the website.

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: There are a thousand different podcasts platforms too. It's not

88
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 5: just Apple. You can listen on Spotify, you can listen

89
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: on iHeart, you can listen right from my website, chrisstick

90
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 5: All dot com or YouTube, so there's lots of ways

91
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: to catch it. I just you know, people get in

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 5: the rhythm fast Eddie and they get irritated when the

93
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 5: way they are accustomed to that thing automatically updates and

94
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 5: they click on the app and there it is. It

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: wasn't updating, and so you wouldn't know that if I

96
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 5: hadn't told you that. So there you go, public service,

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 5: refresh your Apple podcast app.

98
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's annoying, Chris, especially when you get to the weekend.

99
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: You're just like you so you expected to be there

100
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: and then you're like, oh, come on, what's going on now?

101
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: So I get it.

102
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 6: I understand.

103
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, the first three. So it is, and everybody's got

104
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 5: their way. So that that's been looked into, it's been rectified.

105
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 5: My apologies for being dismissive last week to you people

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 5: who said, no, this is nuts, everything's fine. It was

107
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 5: fine for me, and so I assumed I'm about as

108
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 5: stupid as it gets.

109
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: With that stuff. And I assumed if it worked for me,

110
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: then something's got to be wrong on your end. No,

111
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: you were right. You were right, so we got it fixed.

112
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I didn't even know.

113
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: I did not realize it was the Oscars last night, Sincerely,

114
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: I didn't. I was home having a little dinner, flipping

115
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: around during a news break and thought, I, what else

116
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 5: is on? I don't watch a whole lot of TV anymore.

117
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: It was Sunday night, and though and behold, the Oscars

118
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 5: had started. Did you know anything about it?

119
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Ed, sincerely?

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 5: I think I knew Conan O'Brien was hosting who I

121
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: Owned Balance like, But I didn't know anything more about

122
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 5: it than that. And so I stopped for a minute,

123
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 5: actually just to watch it because I hadn't seen it,

124
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 5: And I actually stopped on the tribute to Rob Reiner

125
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 5: and the Dead I fittingly, I stopped at the in

126
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 5: memoriam segment. That's when I checked in, which is pretty

127
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 5: much Chris for the mill. Anybody that was worth watching

128
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 5: is now dead in Hollywood. But anyway, did you know

129
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 5: that it's funny?

130
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 4: Dude? I didn't, And then I'm just like, okay, so

131
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: for the show. So I'm looking around, I'm going on

132
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 4: X and all that stuff. I'm like, all right, yeah, okay,

133
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: here's the Oscars. Honestly, Matt, I cooked the big prime

134
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 4: rib and I was just kind of nice the mother

135
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: in laws in town. So I was just kind of

136
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: like now, So I didn't realize. I did not realize.

137
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 4: I'm like, how crap the Oscars?

138
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, No, I didn't know anything about it, although

139
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 5: the in memoriam segment reminded me. There's been a lot

140
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 5: of people dead this week this year. They've been a

141
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 5: lot of like a lot of famous dead people this year,

142
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 5: chief among them.

143
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: Anyway, I must say.

144
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 5: I got a little misty the Catherine O'Hara. They did

145
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 5: a nice tribute to Catherine O'Hara and Diane Keaton. They

146
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 5: rolled out Barbara streisand to do a tribute to Robert Redford,

147
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 5: which I mean, I don't know, I get when you

148
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 5: think Robert Redford, do you think Barbara Streisand I mean,

149
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 5: I know, classic film and the whole thing that just

150
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 5: wasn't that wasn't where my head went when I was

151
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 5: thinking about Robert Redford. Barbara stand now Barbara streisand really

152
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 5: his entire work.

153
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: Is going to be summarized by her. That's a little weird,

154
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: was exactly.

155
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's a little bit of a stretch

156
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 4: now because it's like you got the oscars moving to YouTube.

157
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: It's like, how many.

158
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 4: People are now remembering back to oh when Barbara stres

159
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: I said to Robert redforbood together, that's a long time.

160
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Yeah.

161
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 6: I don't know.

162
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 5: I will say beyond the politics of it, the Rob

163
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: Reiner thing was pretty cool. They brought out I don't

164
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 5: know twenty five people who were stars of his movies,

165
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: so like Kathy Bates was out there. They had the

166
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 5: few good men cast out there save Tom Cruise and

167
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 5: Jack Nicholson, which I think would have been pretty cool

168
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: if he come out, but they weren't there. Demi Moore

169
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 5: was there, Kevin Pollack was there, Billy Crystal's the one

170
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 5: who led the tribute. Of course, when Harry met Sally

171
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: Mayryan was there. They had to stand by me. Guys

172
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: Will Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell were.

173
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: Out there on stage, and then they had the Christopher

174
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: guest guys out there.

175
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 5: We at least a couple of them, guest himself, Spinal

176
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 5: Tap of course, and Michael McKeon, who you may know,

177
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 5: comedic actor.

178
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Most of them vicious leftists.

179
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: I mean, it's true, and it's difficult anymore to look

180
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: at anybody on Hollywood stage and not see them as

181
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: vicious leftists. But nevertheless, anyway that happened, I don't know

182
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 5: any of the movies, and I'm sorry, I just owned

183
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not saying it to be political

184
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: or to have a commentary on I don't even I

185
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 5: don't know what the films that were nominated are anymore.

186
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 5: Do people rally around a certain film even since your question,

187
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 5: do you even watch?

188
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean, do we all have a.

189
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: Certain film that we all rally around and talk about anymore?

190
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 5: Marvel movies seem to be the last thing that culturally

191
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 5: everybody kind of understood broadly.

192
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 1: I don't know them today, really, I don't.

193
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 7: Now.

194
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 4: You know what was big just because it was horror film, Sinners.

195
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: A lot of people liked that because it's like set

196
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: to music. That's the I knew about it. I knew

197
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: of it. I knew it was like a technical masterpiece.

198
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 4: It was very well directed, same director who directed Creed. Okay,

199
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 4: you know the lineage of the Rocky movies, so I

200
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: think that that was a big one.

201
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: I think I will say Sinners. They had a nice

202
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: musical performance. I stopped to watch that. It sounds like

203
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 5: the soundtrack the Sinners was interesting. I would probably check out.

204
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 5: I kind of had an old brother where Art deu

205
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 5: Field to it or something. There's apparently a movie about

206
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 5: ping pong out there is Timothy Shallomey guy. I don't

207
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 5: know anything about this ping Pong movie. And I don't

208
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 5: even know who Timothy sha Shaalamey is.

209
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Do you know what they're mad at

210
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: him about? I don't, I couldn't, I could. I remember

211
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: I used to listen to shows with hosts who would say,

212
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know who this whippers snuffer.

213
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: Is, and now I've turned into that guy, and I'm

214
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 5: really sorry.

215
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, I don't delight in this. I don't know

216
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: who he is.

217
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: But the only reason I know who this is today

218
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 5: is because I stumbled across something else in my studies

219
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 5: over the weekend. Hollywood is mad at this actor, Timothy Shallowy.

220
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 5: Do you know why the Ping Pong guy?

221
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: Have you heard this ya, I have heard this, Yes,

222
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: I did. It's the heat t trashed, so he yeah,

223
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: well yeah.

224
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 5: He goes on a podcast with Matthew McConaughey and they

225
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 5: start talking about whatever, and he says something to the

226
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 5: effect of, I think ballet and opera are dead and

227
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 5: nobody cares about them anymore. And he's not interested in

228
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 5: knowing anything about them. They're laying they're old, their passe,

229
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 5: and I guess this Nathan Lane and the hens over

230
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: at the View were apoplectic about They said opera and ballet,

231
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 5: and this guy, Timothy Challomay insulted it and said nobody

232
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: cares about it anymore.

233
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: This made the arts community very mad at him.

234
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I mean, this dude hasn't been rich that long.

235
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: It's just like, bro, like, you're not rich enough to

236
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: like all these guys on the stage that have been

237
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 4: there at the Oscars for a million years. They have

238
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: a lot of money, they still like ballet and opera.

239
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: Come on. Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

240
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: I didn't realize there was such a voracious appetite for it,

241
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 5: I guess, but it was mostly it just came from

242
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: the wood floor and fern crowd.

243
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how many, like how many.

244
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 5: Average Americans are like storming the gates because a guy

245
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 5: said opera and ballet are over.

246
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 7: I don't know.

247
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 4: I've never been an opera ballet guy. God bless them all.

248
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 4: I know it's very hard to do on both fronts,

249
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: and it's very you know, I'm talented, peep. I respect

250
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: it absolutely.

251
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just not as coldertheless. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'll

252
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: admit it.

253
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 5: I've got you know, as a kid, I would get

254
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: dragged to that nutcrackers sweet thing at Christmas.

255
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: And I just was like, what am I doing? We're Santa.

256
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: I didn't care. I just again, it's not no disrespect

257
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: to people. I know people. I actually have a couple of.

258
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 5: Friends whose daughters are ballet dancers, and it is some

259
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 5: of the toughest stuff that you'll ever see. The athleticism,

260
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: the precision, all of that. I respect it. It just

261
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 5: wasn't my thing. It didn't So yeah, just that's my

262
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 5: So this will be the Hollywood segment of the show.

263
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: Folks.

264
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: Timothy Schallamey has upset the arts community because he said

265
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 5: opera and pali are dead. So you should know that

266
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: Conan hosted the Oscars, and that's about all I know.

267
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: I do know that it was the most secure Oscars

268
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 5: in history, and I do find that kind of interesting.

269
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: The ninety eighth Academy Awards on Sunday is the most

270
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 5: protected event in Oscar's history. More than a thousand law

271
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: enforcement personnel protecting the celebrity elites gathered to sell librate

272
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 5: in the day, which is interesting since law enforcement has

273
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 5: been under attack by most of these very people in

274
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: this room who hate the politics of apparently law enforcement.

275
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 5: And you see all these TSA lines. None of these

276
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 5: people are standing in line in major airports. Of course,

277
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 5: they all fly private, so that doesn't affect them much,

278
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 5: but they all wanted to make sure they were plenty safe.

279
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: Last night at the Oscars.

280
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 5: And I don't know if you've seen this TSA line situation,

281
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 5: but I think that we're starting to see a tipping

282
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 5: point here, and I wondered when it was going to happen.

283
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 5: And over at the Sunday shows, some of the Democrats

284
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: are now having to explain why are TSA agents not

285
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 5: getting paid. People's travel is started to get interrupted out

286
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: there big time. That's been the rhetorical question I asked

287
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 5: when will this start to impact even people on the

288
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 5: left and make the trip to Grandma's or the oscars

289
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: or whatever inconvenient for them.

290
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: I think this week's the inflection point. More in a minute.

291
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 5: Hang on, Kristin, well, give me number fifty four here

292
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 5: if you would please fell us to kick off the day.

293
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 5: Adam Schiff, Senator from California, was tackled on the question

294
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: of DHS being shut down, people not getting paid and

295
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 5: doesn't this seem like a bad time for that given

296
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 5: the heightened terror attack levels and the threat levels out there.

297
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

298
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 8: Just this week we saw terror attacks in West Bloomfield, Michigan.

299
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 8: In Norfolk, Virginia. This morning, the CEOs of the nation's

300
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 8: major airlines and cargo carriers have written a letter to

301
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 8: Congress calling for them to end the shutdown, talking about

302
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 8: the importance of American security in the airways. Is it

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 8: responsible for Democrats to hold up DHS funding with the

304
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 8: threat of terror attacks looming during this conflict?

305
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 9: We offered vote after vote resolution for resolution, even as

306
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 9: recently as this week, to reopen those agencies to fund them,

307
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 9: and the Republicans voted.

308
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: It down right.

309
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 5: Rokhana says we wouldn't even have a secure We'd be

310
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 5: sitting pretty We could just send everybody home in law

311
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 5: enforcement and TSA. We don't even need security lines. If

312
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 5: it weren't for Trump's war number fifty five.

313
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 10: There were no ICBMs that the that Iran could launch.

314
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 11: Heir, I believe the chair to make eleven bombs, but.

315
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 10: They could have reached the American homeland. I mean, everyone

316
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 10: acknowledges they don't have icbns. Now we've put our troops

317
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 10: at risk. Thirteen Americans are dead if and I hope

318
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 10: we can end this or I just want the President

319
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 10: to clear victory in the war.

320
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: Right, if he hadn't struck Iran, there wouldn't be any

321
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: reason for homeland security needs at all. We could just

322
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: shut down the whole department. We weren't under any kind

323
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 5: of threat had Trump not struck Iran.

324
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: That's right, miss all of that missiles can't reach here.

325
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: But you know ten million migrants during the Biden administration

326
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: can so.

327
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean he said we.

328
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 5: Looked the I don't know if he noticed the two

329
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 5: youthful pipe bomb would be attackers, the g the hottests

330
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 5: that came out of Bucks County, Pennsylvania recently. I don't

331
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: think that hadnything to do with striking Iran, but not

332
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 5: they're here nor there. The CEOs you heard Kristin Welker

333
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: refer to that the CEOs of the nation's top airlines,

334
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 5: including American, Delta, Southwest, and Jet Blue, imploring Congress to

335
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 5: restore funding to the Department of Homeland Security and embrace

336
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: a bipartisan solution to pay federal aviation workers, including airport

337
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 5: security officers. Got another text from a friend of mine yesterday,

338
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 5: our buddy Tom Tradap, who was in the Chicago airport,

339
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: and it is just.

340
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: Winding, winding, winding lines.

341
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 5: Philadelphia had a whole terminal closed down for security. It's

342
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 5: bad and getting worse if you're planning air travel. So

343
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 5: I think once it starts to hit these people and

344
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 5: their families, that's when their backs will finally break. That

345
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 5: may be this week, we'll see moren a minute. Good

346
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 5: to have you along here in the Relief Factor studios

347
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 5: this morning. I hope your weekend was a good one.

348
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 5: Number is eight five fives to go all if you

349
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: want to get in here. And as we begin the week,

350
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: I want to just take a minute to say thank you.

351
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: I just you guys are the best. This is without peer.

352
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: You got to be the most generous audience in the

353
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 5: bitness of broadcast and online streaming. Because I was looking

354
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: at this over the weekend, this Food for the Poor campaign. Boy,

355
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 5: you've stepped up and you continue to do it just

356
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 5: like you've done it. You know, last year when we

357
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: kicked off the show and our first opportunity to talk

358
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 5: about this christ centered mission called Food for the Poor

359
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 5: came and I wasn't really sure, frankly, how you'd react,

360
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: particularly given that this was a new show. Not that

361
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: it's about me, but you know, you get it when

362
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 5: there's a new show as that people are trying to

363
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: figure you out. And I don't know about this guy,

364
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 5: But nevertheless, the Ministry of Food for the Poor clearly

365
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 5: touched you and you responded in a big way last year.

366
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 5: So when they said they wanted to come back and

367
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 5: do this campaign again, this urgent need to rush clean

368
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 5: living water to thirsty kids throughout the poorest countries in

369
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 5: the hemisphere. Honduras for instance, just one of the countries

370
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 5: where clean living water is everything. I mean, it's the

371
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 5: difference between life and death. Kids are living in really

372
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 5: vulnerable conditions there and it creates even more poverty. Clean

373
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 5: water is you don't have that, You really don't have anything.

374
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 5: That's kind of the house of cards. Chronic dehydration affects

375
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 5: one out of ten children under the age of five

376
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 5: in Honduras.

377
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: This is the stuff that Food for the Poor does.

378
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the kind of thing that my

379
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 5: daughter saw in the Dominican and inspired her to become

380
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 5: a missionary. Serious. I love the girl. She's been so

381
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 5: touched by her work there, and so when I talked

382
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 5: with the Food for the Poor folks, this was the

383
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 5: similar story they see throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

384
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: And it's only because of your donations that make just

385
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: such a huge difference throughout our hemisphere. Listen to her.

386
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 5: She was on the ground in Honduras and she's personally

387
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: seen when you give the impact your generosity has.

388
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: Take a listen.

389
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 12: We could never ever do it without foot for the

390
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 12: poor and their donors.

391
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: And we pray for you every day.

392
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 12: And I know that person up in the mountain they'll

393
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 12: be praying, They'll be praying and blessing you for the

394
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 12: rest of laired lives.

395
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 1: So if you donate.

396
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 5: You can do this a couple of different ways. I'm

397
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 5: able to see if you go to christigall dot com

00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: to see later. But here live on the air, it

401
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: updates in real time. If you go to christigall dot com,

00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 5: there is a give Living Water banner at the top,

403

Speaker 5: and if you click on that and you give and let.

404
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Me know where you live and who you are.

405
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: If you don't mind, you can even leave a message,

406
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 5: and I would love to be able to share it

407
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 5: here on the air. They've got a really cool live

408
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 5: update that way. For instance, Kathleen in a place called Tailor's.

409
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 5: I don't know the state, but Kathleen in Tailors donated

410
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 5: over one thousand dollars over the weekend. Kathleen, that is amazing,

411
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: you know. And I said, to anybody that's willing to

412
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 5: do that, the tiniest little gift that I can give

413
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 5: as a token of my appreciation is lifetime membership to

414
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: the Hurrum Society. And so that's what we're doing for

415
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 5: anybody that's willing to give that, and we don't that's

416
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 5: not I'm not even asking that. You know, if it's

417
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 5: five bucks, if it's ten bucks, whatever you can give,

418
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 5: that's plenty, and that's generous enough. And what Food for

419
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 5: the Poor can do with a dollar, the way they

420
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 5: can stretch it, you'd be amazed.

421
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: You can feel great about it.

422
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 5: Look, fifty bucks helps two kids get access to water

423
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 5: for a full year. One hundred dollars. You're talking about

424
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 5: four people impacted for a full year with clean, fresh

425
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 5: drinking water for one hundred bucks. So when somebody like

426
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 5: Kathleen steps up and gives a thousand from Taylor's, not

427
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 5: only are you a lifetime horum for Kathleen, but you've

428
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 5: helped untold of people who need water. Bless your heart.

429
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 5: Amy at Atlanta gave a couple hundred bucks this weekend

430
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 5: in Gainesville. James gave over the weekend. Jason gave over

431
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 5: the weekend from Shingles Springs. Danny gave five hundred dollars

432
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 5: in Worthington over the weekend.

433
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: I told you last week we even.

434
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 5: Had a five hundred dollars donation from the Netherlands for

435
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 5: Heaven's sakes, So thank you. We're off to the races.

436
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 5: You guys stepped up big in week number one as

437
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: we press onto that forty thousand dollars goal this month.

438
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 5: That's what we're trying to get to, and I know

439
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 5: we're going to do it. I mean, you guys already

Speaker 1: You're the best.

451
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: It just you know, in a time and I've said this,

452
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: I said this last year, and I mean it still.

453
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 5: At a time in history where things feel frustrating, unsettled,

454
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 5: out of control, there seems often a lot that we

455
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 5: can't impact and a lot that we can't do about that. Well,

456
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 5: this is one of those extraordinarily positive things you can

457
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 5: do to be the hands and feet of Jesus, but

458
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 5: at the same time really genuinely help impact the lives

459
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 5: of people who aren't paying attention to the news, don't

460
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 5: even have the time or the wherewithal or the technology

461
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: to sit on social media and get irritated. They're just

462
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 5: trying to survive. And isn't that really what it's all about.

463
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 5: We've been blessed. Even those of us who are brocust

464
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: in this country are more blessed than folks in.

465
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: The regions where Food for the Poor operates.

466
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 5: So Chris Stigall dot com that banners at the tops

467

469
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: Thank you.

470
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 5: I'll just say thank you in as we kick off

471
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 5: a new week. Cannot say enough?

472
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: All right?

473
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 5: President Trump was asked on Air Force one over the weekend,

474
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: and I think this is a beautiful summary of the man.

475
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 5: I think if you want to know what makes Donald

476
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 5: Trump tick, people that are questioning why, Iran, why now?

477
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 5: Where did this come from? And don't you realize the

478
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 5: midterms are coming? Don't you realize the politics of this?

479
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: I think he answered this beautifully in number fifty eight.

480
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 5: Here was his answer to what about the political impacts

481
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: of your decision to tackle Ran?

482
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: I have you know what's right?

483
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 7: If I can't say that, you know, gee, I.

484
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 13: Don't want to have any impact on weil prices to

485
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 13: three and four weeks for two months, and we're going

486
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 13: to let Iran.

487
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 4: Have an upenair weapon and blow.

488
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 13: Up the entire Middle East and beyond. But because you know,

489
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 13: they wouldn't blow up the Middle East if I interminate

490
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 13: the Obama horrible deal, the Iran Dupineer deal. It's if

491
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 13: I did interminate that in my first tery, they would

492
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 13: already had a new way, a weapon, and it would.

493
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 14: Have used it immediately upon getting it. And if I

494
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 14: didn't send in the media bobbers and a bomb the

495
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 14: hell out of it and overliterating, and that's what it was.

496
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 14: We obliterated in that side.

497
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I have to do what's right, he said. Political impact, Sure,

498
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 5: everybody has concern, but I have to do what's right.

499
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 5: I can't say, gee, I don't want an impact on

500
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: oil prices for three to four weeks two months and

501
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 5: let Iran have a nuclear weapon and let them blow

502
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 5: up the Middle East and beyond.

503
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: I have to do what's right. I believe him. I

504
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: think he's that consequential. I don't know.

505
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 5: Every now and again, I have to stop because we

506
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 5: get so caught up in the moment. I have to

507
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 5: stop and remind myself. This is a guy that was

508
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 5: a millimeter from being killed. This is a guy who

509
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 5: literally has had his home stormed, his family's lives violated,

510
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 5: he has escaped death twice. I think there's something very

511
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 5: providential about this president. Again, it's the proverbs. It's biblical

512
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 5: kings are moved like rivers by God. I you know,

513
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 5: I'm not here to tell you one way or the

514
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 5: other God's plan for Donald Trump. But I do believe

515
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 5: that everything that we see unfolding globally is at God's hand,

516
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 5: in God's design and his perfect timing and control. So

517
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 5: you tell me that Donald Trump survived a assassination attempt

518
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 5: by a millimeter, and I tell you that's providential.

519
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: He's here for some reason.

520
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 5: He won an unlikely election a second time after being

521
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 5: in my view, cheated out of the one previously, and

522
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 5: that was on you know, Look, I'll even say this,

523
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 5: I now see the beauty in God's majesty and design

524
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 5: and even the era of COVID and what I believe

525
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 5: was the outright theft of an election in twenty twenty.

526
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 5: I do like if you back away from it all now,

527
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 5: as angering and infuriating and as angry as you are,

528
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 5: that there wasn't punishment over that still, as people have

529
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 5: still not paid for COVID and people have still not

530
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 5: paid for the chicanery of that election. And you say

531
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 5: I am furious, I want justice. I say it was

532
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 5: God's perfect plan. My entire life. I don't know about you,

533
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 5: but my entire life and the way I think about

534
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 5: everything in this world was completely reordered thanks to COVID,

535
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 5: for instance. And then when I saw exposed what was

536
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 5: exposed during the election, everything about a lot of things,

537
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 5: Institutions that I trusted completely rewired. Now that has shoved people,

538
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 5: I think, to a place now where they so reflexibly

539
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 5: mistrust everything that it becomes almost sort of chaotic and conspiratorial.

540
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 5: I think you can go too hard the other way.

541
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 5: But my point is we're here for a very specific reason.

542
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is president for a very specific reason in

543
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 5: this time in history, and his decision to strike Iran,

544
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 5: you know, his history will be the judge but I

545
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 5: believe him when he says I had to do what

546
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 5: was right. I'm not sitting here. I didn't nearly get

547
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 5: killed in my live and my family's lives upended so

548
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 5: that I could just sit here and be unconsequential. I

549
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 5: think the man feels he is of great consequence. He's

550
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 5: here for a reason, and he's going to make best

551
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 5: with the time that he has, and he sees an

552
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 5: opportunity to write an injustice that for fifty years other

553
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 5: presidents just dallied around. I admire that. Meanwhile, he's telling people,

554
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: you gonna get oil from the Straight of Horn Moves,

555
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: you better help if your oil is coming out of

556
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 5: the Straight of Horn Moose, I'm not doing this by myself.

557
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 5: You better pony up, bring your ships to town, and

558
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 5: help us escort people out of the strait. President Trump

559
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 5: working to assemble a coalition of countries to reopen the

560
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 5: Straight of Horror Moves, hopes to announce it later this week.

561
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 5: Axios reporting this that Trump is also weighing a seizure

562
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 5: of Iran's critical oil depot on carg Island, a move

563
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: that would require US boots on the ground if tankers

564
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 5: remain bottled up. That would be probably a last ditch thing.

565
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 5: I can't imagine. Although I hear that they're sending marines

566
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 5: as a backup, we don't know what that means exactly yet.

567
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: By the way, Ron Foreign Minister did these Sunday shows

568
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 5: and he says, I don't know what you're talking about.

569
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 5: Straight hoh hor moves is open right now, give me

570
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 5: number forty nine. Did you know that it's open?

571
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: Now? Come on in and straight of hormones is open.

572
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 15: It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong

573
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 15: to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and

574
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 15: their allies. Others are free to pass. Of course, many

575
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 15: of them.

576
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 5: It's right, free to pass. It's all made up. It's fine,

577
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 5: just the great Satan. Everybody else is good to.

578
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: Pay eight five fives to go. Great to be with you.

579
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 5: This morning, as we look live on the Salem News channel,

580
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 5: if you're watching tel Aviv, Israel.

581
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: Looks like a.

582
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 5: Beautiful, warm, almost summer day, at least our live shot

583
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 5: of tel Aviv this morning, still bitter cold through much

584
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 5: of the country here. You know, spring is just like

585
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 5: five days away, officially March twentieth. Incidentally, those are you

586
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 5: in a deep freeze and a good chunk of the country,

587
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: although they have it's weird. There's a deep freeze going

588
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 5: on in the middle of the country. San Francisco is

589
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: apparently on heat alert. San Francisco is having the hottest

590
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 5: day they've ever had in March today, supposedly so. Anyway,

591
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 5: it's a beautiful looking shot of Tel Aviv this morning.

592
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 5: Thanks for listening, Thanks for watching. However you get here today,

593
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 5: and of course the Christiagall Show can be found via

594
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 5: podcast after the fact wherever you listen to podcasts, or

595
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 5: go right to Christigall dot com and get it there.

596
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 5: Speaking of Tel Aviv, you know there's a story here

597
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 5: that the IDEF has eliminated Hesbel, as commander who also

598
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 5: happens to be the brother of the Michigan attacker. IDEF

599
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: confirming Sunday following the completion of a thorough intelligence review,

600
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 5: Dave eliminated a hesbela anti tank commander whose brother is

601
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 5: the tearist who carried out an attack on the synagogue

602
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 5: in Michigan, where the attacker was killed without managing to

603
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 5: harm any of those present. That's sweet justice, isn't it.

604
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 5: A weapons team commander in a special department within Hesbela's

605
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 5: bad unit, and the brother of the US born Lebanese

606
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 5: citizen living in the United States who tried to drive

607
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 5: into that synagogue eliminated March fifth, as part of the

608
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 5: IDEF operation against the Hesbela terrorist organization in Lebanon. The brother,

609
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 5: who served as a Hesbela commander, was killed in an

610
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 5: IDEF strike on Hesbela's military structure in which large quantities

611
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 5: of weapons and ordinances were stored and members of the

612
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 5: terrorist organization were present. So I guess that means, if

613
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 5: I'm doing the math, does that mean this guy drove

614
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 5: his car into the synagogue to avenge his brother's death. Ed,

615
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 5: If I'm doing the math on that, yes, I guess yes, sir, yep. Yeah,

616
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 5: I don't think I knew that part of it. I

617
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 5: saw some floating around that his family, this guy that

618
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: drove the car into the synagogue, that his family was

619
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 5: still living there.

620
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: But maybe now it's just his brother neither here nor there.

621
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: But good people of Israel are still very very much

622
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 5: under threat, that is what's true. And when you can

623
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,959
Speaker 5: imagine living in a place like Tel Aviv anywhere else

624
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 5: in Israel where silent sirens Blair anytime day or night

625
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: and you have seconds to grab your kid and run,

626
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 5: or if you're older, never mind getting downstairs. That's impossible,

627
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 5: being in a bomb shelter for hours, even days. That's

628
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 5: what's happening all across Israel right now. Operation Epic Fury

629
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 5: obviously still continuing, scary for kids, families, exhausted, homes have

630
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 5: been destroyed, and still this is something that they're going

631
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 5: to have to live with for a while, probably indefinitely.

632
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 5: And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, no matter

633
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 5: what you think of the politics of this, whether you're

634
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 5: supportive of whether you're not, what's true is the International

635
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 5: Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground helping

636
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 5: people in situations like these, physically install bomb shelters in

637
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 5: many cases, keep food and medicine and other necessary supplies

638
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 5: on hand, particularly for elderly folks and kids. Join Christians

639
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: around the world in not only praying for Israel, but

640
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 5: also helping those on the ground. And we continue, obviously

641
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 5: to stand with our brave military as well as the

642
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 5: IDEF alongside them in this battle against good and evil.

643
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 5: That's what it is, stand together in prayer, support, IFCJ

644
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 5: dot org support IFCJ dot org. By the way, you

645
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 5: should know, there's a new McLaughlin poll out of likely voters.

646
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: This is what we look for when we talk about polling.

647
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 5: Not interested in adults, not interested in Americans. We're interested

648
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 5: in likely adults. I mean, yes, we care about what

649
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 5: Americans think, but I'm talking about Americans who actually participate

650
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 5: in our elections. They're the ones that show up and

651
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 5: actually make their voices heard. And of the people that

652
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: actually regularly show up and make their voices heard, I

653
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: suspect most of this audience. A newly completed national survey

654
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 5: of likely voters shows strong support for Trump's decision to

655
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 5: use military force to stop Iran, even more striking when

656
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 5: voters are reminded of Iran's long record of hostility toward

657
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 5: the United States, support grows significantly, with fifty seven percent

658
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 5: backing military action, A clear majority believes decisive action is justified,

659
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 5: and an even stronger majority fifty nine percent say Donald

660
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: Trump should finish the job to ensure Iran never acquires

661
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 5: nuclear weapons. The findings also reveal a significant gap between

662
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 5: the views of the American electorate and the tone of

663
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 5: much of the left of center media coverage, which is

664
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 5: largely portrayed the public as skeptical or opposed to military action.

665
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 5: The data suggests otherwise. National survey of one thousand likely

666
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 5: voters when asked whether they approve the President Trump using

667
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 5: the military to eliminate Iran's nuclear missile program and its

668
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 5: support for terrorism. Given Iran's refusal to negotiate an end

669
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 5: to its nuclear weapons and missile development, over half approved,

670
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 5: forty one percent disapproved. Support overwhelming among Republicans eighty six

671
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 5: percent approving of the action. Backing was not limited to

672
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 5: the Republican base, though twenty five percent of Democrats also

673
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 5: approved of military action, demonstrating concern over Iran's nuclear ambitions

674
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 5: crossed party lines. Eighty six percent of Trump voters supported

675
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 5: the action. Notably, eighteen percent of those who even voted

676
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 5: for Cackle Bridges expressed approval for this action. Media consumption

677
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 5: habits also played a role in shaping attitudes. Among voters

678
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 5: who primarily watched right of center cable news, support for

679
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: military action was overwhelming. Well, I mean, if you're not

680
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 5: educated about Iran and the threat they for the last

681
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 5: fifty years, and frankly, a lot of young people who

682
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: are on social media don't. They're not aware, they haven't

683
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 5: been taught. They live for now, they live for today.

684
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 5: They don't care about history. Yeah, they're gonna be mouthy

685
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 5: on X. That's not the case for voters moren a minute.

686
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 5: I don't know about you. If you have yo yo

687
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 5: dieted all of your life, I certainly have Keto paleo

688
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 5: weight watchers, intermittent fasting. You lose weight, and I have.

689
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 5: I've lost dramatic amounts of weight before, only to gain

690
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 5: it back and then some. And you probably kick yourself

691
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 5: for it, and you think it's all about your own

692
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 5: willpower and your own lack of discipline. Look, maybe there's

693
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 5: some of that, but the real truth of it is

694
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 5: it was not strictly about willpower. There is one thing

695
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 5: only that determines whether your body burns fat or stores fat.

696
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 5: And if you don't know how to fix that, every

697
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 5: diet you're ever going to try fails. That's all that

698
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 5: changed for me was looking at it differently, and PhD

699
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 5: Weight Loss told me how to look at it differently.

700
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 5: Doctor Ashley Lucas and I start talking about her program

701
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 5: and why it's worked so well for some of my

702
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 5: colleagues and how she's different. And so when I went

703
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 5: on this program last year and I began to eat

704
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 5: real food, I didn't have to take any kind of

705
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 5: shots or any kind of gimmicky drugs or anything like that.

706
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,439
Speaker 5: It was just purely understanding how my body best metabolizes food,

707
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 5: when to eat, what to eat, and not starving myself

708
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 5: by the way, And here's the deal. You start to

709
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 5: have real victories quickly. And I lost over forty pounds

710
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 5: in under four months time fast. Eddie, our executive producer,

711
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 5: was so impressed with it, he said I wouldn't mind

712
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 5: trying it. I said, how much you want to lose?

713
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 5: He said fifty pounds. So we dialed up Ashley Lucas

714
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 5: and I said, can Eddie lose fifty pounds along with

715
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 5: me here? And she said, oh absolutely, Let's give it

716
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 5: till May. So he started the program. Folks, he is

717
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 5: already halfway to his goal after just thirteen weeks or so. So,

718
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 5: I mean, you're talking about over twenty five pounds in

719
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 5: a matter of weeks.

720
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: That could be your story.

721
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 5: Now, I've managed to lose that kind of weight last

722
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 5: year and coming into a new year, keeping that weight

723
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 5: off that's the first time in my weight loss history

724
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 5: that I've lost that kind of weight and maintained the

725
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 5: weight loss because at PhD Weight Loss they've identified that

726
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 5: one thing about your system that you can kick into

727
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 5: action and help you lose that weight and keep the

728

741
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 5: families across Latin America and the Caribbean today. Mothers unbelievably

744
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,040

00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 5: is interesting and or informative and or to the point

774
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 5: that you ought to know. I tried very hard not

775
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 5: to waste your time. I try to synthesize what I

776
00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 5: think you need to see and know, at least to

777
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 5: the best to my knowledge, on social media, without wasting

778
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 5: a bunch of your time, so that maybe you can

779
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 5: go on about your day and do other things. I've

780
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 5: been told by many people who read the Harum Society,

781
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 5: thank you you navigate the cesspool of social media so

782
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 5: that I don't have to. I feel up the speed

783
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 5: I feel in the know, and then I can go

784
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 5: on about my day. That is my goal in ten

785
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 5: minutes or less. It's a read so you can have

786
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 5: a full thirty thousand foot view understanding of all that's

787
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 5: going on out there if you're busy and you don't

788
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 5: have time to keep up on it yourself, or you

789
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 5: just want to save your mental health. Because it's a

790
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 5: positive place and the people in the comments section are positive.

791
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 5: I was just in there talking this weekend with a

792
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 5: couple of hurrumfers. It's just so nice to see people,

793
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 5: even if they don't agree, They're not spitting and gnashing

794
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 5: of teeth and yelling and screaming at one another. It's

795
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 5: just friendly banter. So you'll make some great friends in

796
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 5: the comment section.

797
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 7: Two.

798
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 5: Go to Chris Stigall dot com and join the Hrrum Society.

799
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 5: I'd love to have you along. Let's go to Patrick

800
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 5: in California to kick off this hour. Hey Patrick, I'm

801
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 5: glad you called. Good morning, Welcome in, Yeah, good.

802
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 7: Morning, thank you. Yeah. You know, I'm roken used about something.

803
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 7: And you know, I'm all for what Trump's doing, and

804
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 7: I do respect him saying they had to do something.

805
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 7: And but anyway, here's what I'm confused about. We've decimated

806
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 7: their their air force, they have no navy. The Iranians

807
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 7: are just completely out out of it. I guess we've

808
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 7: we've destroyed everything. By what authority do they have to

809
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 7: take and close the straight up our moos? What's their

810
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 7: big stick? So what I mean, what if I say

811
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 7: it's closed? Does Weena's closed? And I just don't understand,

812
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 7: you know, what's the big deal If we've destroyed everything

813
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 7: they have, how are they enforcing the straight up our

814
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 7: moves is closed.

815
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 5: Well, here's my understanding of the way it works, and

816
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 5: this is a Lehman's understanding, So you'll you'll tell me

817
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 5: if you think it makes sense to you or not.

818
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 5: But my understanding is you got all these private shipping

819
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 5: companies right that are loaded up with oil who are

820
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 5: already inland. They've loaded up and they're head there to

821
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 5: head back out to see. I don't know that it's

822
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 5: so much those going in, but it's certainly those that

823
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 5: are in the Strait and trying to head out with

824
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 5: oil that are loaded up with it. What they know

825
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 5: is just one or two missiles flying their way could

826
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 5: blow up their whole ship. So they're just kind of

827
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 5: afraid of a stray missile hitting them. So they're really

828
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 5: there just under duress. They're there just kind of stuck

829
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 5: and afraid. Now Iran can say it's open, no big deal,

830
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 5: But the oil companies are the ones that really don't

831
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 5: want to take the risk right now.

832
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: That's the problem.

833
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 5: So it's when we say it's closed, it's not so

834
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 5: much literally closed. It's okay, go ahead and sail through

835
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 5: there if you'd like to be ashamed of something happened

836
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 5: to your vessel. It's one of those things that's sort

837
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 5: of the thrust up at Patrick. I don't know if

838
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 5: that's a sufficient answer, but I think that's where it is.

839
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 5: And that's why Trump says, let's bring in some help

840
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 5: to make sure these people are escorted safely through. Got

841
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: to make sure all these stupid you know, missile and

842
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 5: rocket launches from you know, they can still do that.

843
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 5: Some guy with a shoulder launcher can do that right

844
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 5: there from the shore. Hey, you know, it is two

845
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty years our birthday July, our friends at

846
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 5: the Herzog Foundation are celebrating.

847
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: Was something called faith and freedom and joy.

848
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 16: From day one, education in America was inseparable from faith.

849
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 16: The earliest settlers believed that Teaching children to read was

850
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 16: essential not just for their future careers, but for their

851
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 16: eternal souls. That legacy shaped everything that followed.

852
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 17: From the earliest days of settlement and colonial America, the

853
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 17: task of educating the community's youth was one of utmost importance.

854
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 17: The early Puritan settlers in New England were religious refugees

855
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 17: from the British Isles. They left everything in the Old

856
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,720
Speaker 17: World and traveled thousands of miles across the Atlantic Ocean

857
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 17: to plant themselves in the wilderness along the rugged coast

858
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 17: of North America.

859
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 18: On November eleventh, sixteen twenty, even before the Pilgrim's Separatists

860
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 18: left the miserable confines of their ship, the Mayflower, they

861
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,359
Speaker 18: signed a document with the non separatists on board, known

862
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 18: as the Mayflower Compact. In it, they pledged to solemnly

863
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 18: and mutually, in the presence of God and one another,

864
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 18: covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil body politic.

865
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 18: This agreement not only laid out how civil law would

866
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 18: be crafted, but also helped define how their society would

867
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 18: be formed. Education was a critical step in providing for

868
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 18: the future and in preserving their religious values.

869
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 19: A decade later, John Wentthrop and his city on a hill.

870
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 19: Sermon proclaimed that we must delight in each other, make

871
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 19: others conditions our own, rejoice together, mourn together, labor and

872
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 19: suffer together, always having before our eyes our commissioned and

873
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 19: community in the work as members.

874
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: Of the same body.

875
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 19: And so doing he bound the civil lives of his

876
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 19: followers together with their spiritual lives. Is charged to make

877
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 19: others condition their own, inherently included education of their young people.

878
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 17: Aside from these lofty speeches that have stood the test

879
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 17: of time, there were very practical reasons why the earliest

880
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 17: schools were Christian. Education was a community duty. Its success

881
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 17: was dependent upon the time and effort of those available

882
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 17: to teach the youth in each small settlement, and in

883
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 17: small settlements, survival came first. That meant that able bodied

884
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 17: men worked the land while mothers raised the families and

885
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 17: often became the family's first educators.

886
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 18: With no formal structure and few resources, the family matriarchs

887
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 18: did what they could to instruct their students, using a

888
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 18: system of rote memorization as the primary method of teaching.

889
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 18: As a result, they resorted to what they knew and

890
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 18: could recite to assist in the process. This meant the

891
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 18: earliest examples of educational material in the English colonies were

892
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 18: comprised of prayers and scriptures from Christian teachings. As communities

893
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 18: stabilized and survival became more assured, a desire arose for

894
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 18: a more structured method of education. In each town, small

895
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 18: one room schools were constructed and children of all ages

896
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 18: were drawn together for instruction. In this system, once again

897
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 18: many of the instructors were women of the towns.

898
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: But as time passed.

899
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 18: A new movement changed the system drastically.

900
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 17: Beginning in sixteen thirty six with the establishment of Harvard College,

901
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 17: the Puritans prepared students to graduate with theology degrees. The

902
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 17: foundation of Yale in seventeen oh one followed suit. The

903
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 17: purpose of these institutions was to produce Howvin its clergy

904
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 17: to serve the spiritual needs of the growing New England colonies.

905
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 17: That the newly ordained ministers found that communities could only

906
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 17: support them if they did more than preach and tend

907
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 17: to their local flocks. The natural thing for them to

908
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 17: take on was the role.

909
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 19: Of and In a culture where pastors were also the

910
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 19: school teachers, this meant schools became an extension of the church.

911
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 19: The very people who preached on Sunday taught on Monday,

912
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 19: and what they taught for generations was seeped in Christian tradition.

913
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 18: Massachusetts led the charge in institutionalizing Christian education. In sixteen

914
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,560
Speaker 18: forty seven, its colonial government passed what became known as

915
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 18: the Old Diluter Satan Act. This law required every town

916
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 18: with more than fifty families to provide a teacher to

917
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 18: specialize in reading and writing. Larger towns were required to

918
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 18: support a school to prepare students for a higher education.

919
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 18: But it wasn't just about literacy. It was spiritual warfare.

920
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 18: The law declared that Satan's goal was to keep men

921
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 18: from the knowledge of ye scriptures.

922
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: Let that sink in.

923
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 19: The purpose of education was to equip children young people

924
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 19: with the Word of God. From the beginning, American education

925
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 19: unapologetically used Christian scriptures as its foundation.

926
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 17: The other factor leading to Christian teaching and her early

927
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 17: American life was simply one of limited resources. Printed books

928
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 17: were extremely rare commodities in the colonies. The most used

929
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 17: book in somewhat plentiful supply was the Holy Bible. The

930
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 17: clergy teachers provided real life lessons from familiar Old and

931
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 17: New Testament stories. In this manner, they produced a continuous,

932
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 17: consistent cycle of instruction in reading, writing, and arithmetic alongside salvation.

933
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 17: As New England children advanced in their education, they also

934
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 17: learned the connection between their eternal reward and the snares

935
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 17: of sin.

936
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 18: As the eighteenth century approached, a revolution in school text occurred.

937
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 18: Some time before sixteen ninety. Benjamin Harris, a recent immigrant

938
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,400
Speaker 18: to the English colonies who was living in Boston, published

939
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 18: the first edition of the New England Primer. This book

940
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 18: became the primary textbook for English colonial America, rooted in

941
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 18: Biblical teachings and lessons, Over six million copies were printed

942
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 18: between sixteen ninety and eighteen thirty. For at least one

943
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:10,440
Speaker 18: hundred and forty years, American students used the Primer alongside

944
00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 18: the Bible as the foundation of their education. Borrowing heavily

945
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,879
Speaker 18: from sacred Christian texts, the Primer was responsible for disseminating

946
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 18: consistent and memorable prose based in Christian philosophy among generations

947
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 18: of Americans. Even today, some of the lessons of the

948
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 18: Primer are known throughout American society. Among these are in

949
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 18: Adam's Fall, We sind All and the still popular children's prayer.

950
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 18: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray THEE

951
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 18: Lord my soul to keep. If I die before I wake,

952
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 18: I pray THEE Lord my.

953
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: Soul to take.

954
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 18: Lessons such as these shaped the hearts and minds of

955
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 18: generations of colonial Americans. In early America, to be educated

956
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 18: was to be formed, not just an intellect, but in spirit.

957
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 5: Good to have you along our telephone number eight five five, Stigall.

969
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 5: Bill Maher over the weekend talking about Iran and their

970
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 5: chief negotiator give me number forty five here if you

971
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 5: would please, Pully.

972
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 20: Now, our chief negotiator said they were talking Iran up

973
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 20: until the war started. He said, they're opening salvo. Was

974
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 20: at the negotiations. We're a couple of weeks away from

975
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 20: having eleven bomb. They were bragging about it. If you

976
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 20: were the president and you got that information, you'd still

977
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 20: do nothing. I never said, I'm asking now what I

978
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 20: would do. And what the President of the United States

979
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 20: failed to do was be.

980
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: Clear with the American people about what the hell we

981
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 1: were doing here.

982
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 9: We've lost thirteen American soldiers in a war.

983
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: I think people have an idea. What was the reason

984
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: we went in?

985
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 20: Well, everything you said, the nukes, regime change, and just

986
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 20: to reshuffle the deck in the Middle East. But nothing

987
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 20: was ever really going to get better there until that

988
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 20: regime went away.

989
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 5: He was talking to the Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro,

990
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 5: who was trying to win Best Supporting Actor for a

991
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 5: drama in pretending he cares at all about Well, never mind,

992
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 5: I'll let that go. So Josh Shapiro wants to be

993
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 5: the next president of the United States, but he has

994
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 5: a problem. He's a Jew, and we know the left

995
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 5: hates Jews, fast Eddie and so no matter what he tries,

996
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 5: no matter how passionately he wants to look like an

997
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 5: American president who cares and bleeds the red, white, and blue.

998
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 5: Bill Maher of all things, is saying, well, what the

999
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,399
Speaker 5: hell would you do? I mean, like you're a Jew,

1000
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 5: if you don't understand a wild eyed Islamic theocracy, who's

1001
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 5: gonna And he acts like President Trump didn't.

1002
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: Well explain it, like we don't.

1003
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 5: Know, like he doesn't know if anybody should understand anti Semitism,

1004
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 5: Islamic theocracies wanting Israel and the West dead, annihilated, wiped

1005
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 5: off the map.

1006
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: You think it's jos Shapiro.

1007
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 5: So it lands a little flat when he's trying to

1008
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 5: convince the viewing public that he doesn't understand why we

1009
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 5: dealt with Iran.

1010
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 4: Now, absolutely, Chris, and this is also hypocrisy at its fine,

1011
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 4: it's because remember and I have this in your prediction folder.

1012
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 4: Remember him signing the bomb going off to Ukraine? Who

1013
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 4: authorized us to be sending bombs to Ukraine?

1014
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, that's right.

1015
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was very very proud of whatever it takes,

1016
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 5: as long as it takes in Ukraine, and never had

1017
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:06,279
Speaker 5: a stated goal just keep shoveling the money, shoveling the munitions. Well,

1018
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 5: what's victory look like there? We don't know. Whatever it takes,

1019
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 5: as long as it takes. That was the left wing

1020
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 5: justification for efforts in Ukraine. And yeah, we were at

1021
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 5: a bomb making facility in Pennsylvania as he's autographing the bombs.

1022
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 1: It's an interesting.

1023
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 5: Discussion with little Josh, the pocket sized dominative governor of Pennsylvania,

1024
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 5: because his Jewish faith comes up as well in his conversation. Now,

1025
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 5: Bill Maher is an atheist, He really doesn't care about

1026
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 5: religion whatsoever. But I think he tends certainly to be

1027
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 5: mindful of the Jews and Israel specifically and the threat

1028
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 5: under which they live regularly.

1029
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: And so Josh.

1030
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 5: Shapiro and I'm going to get into this coming up

1031
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 5: a little later in the show, So Don't Go Anywhere.

1032
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 5: Josh is asked about his Jewish faith and what he

1033
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 5: thinks about that and the fact that the party that

1034
00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 5: he calls himself a member of really doesn't have time

1035
00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 5: for the Jews. His answer is torture more in a minute.

1036
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 5: This week, the Senate is going to they say, John

1037
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 5: Thune says that they're going to take up the Save

1038
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 5: Act from just the News. US Senate to hold marathon

1039
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 5: debate on GOP voter ID bill. Senate Majority Leader Thun

1040
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 5: plans to bring the Republican Election Reform Bill to the

1041
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 5: floor this week and kickstart a marathon debate and could

1042
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,919
Speaker 5: potentially see it lasting four days. We thought it would

1043
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 5: be good then, procedurally, to talk about every now and again.

1044
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 5: You know, when Senate procedure comes up, my eyes start

1045
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 5: to glaze over a little bit. That's why I lean

1046
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 5: on a great friend of this show. He has been

1047
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 5: for a very long time, and he happens to actually

1048
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 5: know all of this eyes glaze over parliamentary procedure stuff

1049
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 5: because he served as the twenty eighth Secretary of the

1050
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 5: United States Senate. He was nominated by Bob Dole. So

1051
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 5: he is a creature of years ago from the swamp,

1052
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 5: long since left it. Now he watches from the outside.

1053
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 5: Kelly Johnston is his name, and you can find him

1054
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 5: on substack too, Kelly Johnston jhn stn not Johnson Johnstone

1055
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 5: with a T Kelly. Good to see you again, sir,

1056
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 5: Great to see you too, Chris. How are you doing

1057
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 5: doing great? Thank you so much. I appreciate your expertise

1058
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,200
Speaker 5: in times like this because you can always simplify it

1059
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:17,359
Speaker 5: for us since you were actually, like I said, you

1060
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 5: know the nomenclature of the Senate. I think I want

1061
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 5: to be as truthful and fair, not emotional, as I

1062
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 5: can be with a guy like John Thun, and I

1063
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 5: think you're friends with him, So in full disclosure, you

1064
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,280
Speaker 5: don't come to the table as hostile towards John Thune.

1065
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 5: A lot of Republicans are, and they think that maybe

1066
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 5: he's exhibiting some swampy behavior and not wanting to tackle this.

1067
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 5: I've been pretty consistent in saying, Kelly, what is true,

1068
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 5: and he's not making it up. He doesn't think he

1069
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 5: has the votes to get the Save Act passed even

1070
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 5: if he is to do what he's about to do

1071
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 5: this week. But the pressure's been building. The President's been

1072
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 5: pushing hard, the constituents have been pushing hard. So how

1073
00:54:56,640 --> 00:54:59,200
Speaker 5: do we fairly assess John Thune's role in all this?

1074
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 9: Well, Chris, let me start off by saying that the

1075
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 9: Senate majority leader is not the same in the Senate

1076
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 9: as a speaker of the houses in the House, and

1077
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 9: the reason for that is that there's a great book

1078
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 9: by this title that the majority leader or the floor leaders,

1079
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 9: either minority or majority are considered to the quote unquote

1080
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 9: first among equals, So they don't really have the procedural

1081
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 9: or the internal tools, mechanisms and powers that the House

1082
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,320
Speaker 9: speaker does to kind of derive what happens in the Senate.

1083
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 6: What you just said is absolutely correct.

1084
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 9: John Thing does not have the votes at this point

1085
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 9: to break a filibuster, or in fact, he may not

1086
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 9: even have the votes of support to even pay quote

1087
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 9: unquote talking filibuster. And I'll discuss that in a second.

1088
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 9: So there's about four, as I recall, I'm accurate here,

1089
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 9: there's four three or four US senator on the GOP

1090
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 9: side who really don't want to do this. Most of them,

1091
00:55:51,719 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 9: I think, are on board for doing a talking filibuster,

1092
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 9: which means, okay, a filibuster will be allowed to happen,

1093
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 9: but you're going to have to stay occupy the floor,

1094
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 9: and the whole one is a test of wheels to

1095
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 9: wear out the other side.

1096
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 6: They finally give up.

1097
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 9: Now, we haven't had a talking filibuster since eighteen ninety three. Now,

1098
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,799
Speaker 9: some people will say, well, the Civil Rights Act of

1099
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 9: nineteen sixty five was a quote unquote filibuster, which it was,

1100
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 9: but that wasn't a real talking filibuster. When you have

1101
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,280
Speaker 9: a talking filibuster, you are forced to occupy the floor

1102
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 9: and speak and speak and speak until you were worn out.

1103
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 9: And every Senator, under a certain rule will nineteen to

1104
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 9: be exact, is allowed to speak twice on a legislative day. Now,

1105
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 9: Elizabeth Day is not the same as a day that

1106
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,919
Speaker 9: we know it twenty four seven. You know, twenty four

1107
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 9: day our day. So elizend day can last for a week,

1108
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 9: last for two weeks as long as you want. So

1109
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,719
Speaker 9: what I think what Senator Thun, working with Senator Mike

1110
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:48,600
Speaker 9: lea Utah, who is the big champion of one both

1111
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 9: the Save Act as well talking filibuster is a quote

1112
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 9: unquote hybrid talking filibuster.

1113
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 6: So what has to happen? What I see happening.

1114
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 9: And I could be wrong on this because there's a

1115
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 9: lot of uncertainty about what's proceed At some point, either

1116
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 9: later today or first thing tomorrow, Leader Thun will move

1117
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 9: to proceed to HR twenty two to say that. Now,

1118
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,839
Speaker 9: the first question I have is, and I haven't gotten

1119
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,680
Speaker 9: a good answer for this, is whether this is a

1120
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 9: quote unquote message from the House, which means it would

1121
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 9: only require fifty one votes to proceed to the bill,

1122
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 9: or whether it's going to require actually sixty votes. My

1123
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 9: view is it might require sixty vote because it's a

1124
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 9: House bill, not an actual Senate bill that's been amended

1125
00:57:29,360 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 9: in the House. Again, getting into the weeds here, apologize

1126
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 9: for all the jargeon, but assuming that it may move

1127
00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 9: to proceed, it's still going to require sixty votes to

1128
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 9: bring a vote to proceed or a vote to pass

1129
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 9: or defeat the bill, pass the bill to end debate. Now,

1130
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 9: going back to Rule nineteen, what the talking filibuster would

1131
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 9: do would be to exhaust every senator's right to speak

1132
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 9: in a single what if they did day So, what

1133
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 9: they're hoping they can do is for senators to pick

1134
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 9: their time speak whatever long it takes, and some suggest

1135
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 9: it might take as much as a month of actual

1136
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 9: debate time to get through this, maybe longer for the

1137
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 9: exhausted and enforce a final vote on the bill. And

1138
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 9: there are lots of procedural things that John Fune can

1139
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 9: do to avoid mischief, like, for example, motions or amendments

1140
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 9: on the bill. For example, summer concerned will Democrats who

1141
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 9: offer amendments and restart the clock on the filibuster. Well,

1142
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 9: John Fune can do what's called stacking the tree, which

1143
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 9: means he could fill the amendment tree so nobody can

1144
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 9: offer an amendment, so that forces the debate on the

1145
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 9: bill itself. So there's some middle procedural things that both

1146
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 9: sides are going to be able to use to draw

1147
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 9: this thing out and try to restart the clock. Quorum calls,

1148
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 9: motions to refer to committee, etcetera, etceter c. So bottom

1149
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 9: mine is, Chris, we really don't know exactly what's going

1150
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 9: to transpire other than that John Thune's going to proceed

1151
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 9: to the bill and we'll see whether we will be

1152
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 9: on the emotion to proceed or on the bill itself,

1153
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,120
Speaker 9: and we'll see how the Democrats will try to create

1154
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 9: mischief in this process. So that's kind of where we

1155
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 9: are at this point. We could be on this for

1156
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 9: one it could be two weeks, you don't know.

1157
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kelly Johnston is with us again. He's the twentieth

1158
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 5: Secretary of the United States Senate. And thank you for

1159
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 5: explaining that, let's let's best case this best case we

1160
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 5: finally get to a vote. We've still got that problem

1161
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 5: that as of right now, what you would still need

1162
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 5: even if you get past the filibuster and you get

1163
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 5: to just the basic majority, the debate is over and

1164
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 5: then you just need the simple majority, right, you need

1165
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 5: fifty one votes to get this thing passed. We don't

1166
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 5: have that count of the close off Yeah.

1167
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1168
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 9: Once you close off debate either by getting sixty votes,

1169
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 9: which are not going to probably do or just exhausting

1170
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 9: their two times plate on to speak, then it was

1171
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 9: super require fifty one to pass a bill. And I

1172
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 9: don't know whether we have fifty one votes or not.

1173
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 9: That's that's a real question. I know that we've got

1174
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 9: at least fifty and if we get fifty, we can

1175
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 9: get John Jdi.

1176
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 6: Dance to break the top, so that will not be

1177
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 6: a problem.

1178
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 5: Okay, well that would be good then. So do you

1179
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 5: think thune Is has still known this all along? Has

1180
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 5: he had to been pushed or conjoled to do this?

1181
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 5: He thinks this is a waste of time? What do

1182
01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 5: you think he's thinking? Was he properly for this, whether

1183
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 5: base or not.

1184
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 9: Well, he gave a great speech on the floor the

1185
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 9: other day about the Save Act before they adjourned for

1186
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 9: the weekend, and he's a very strong supporter of this.

1187
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 9: I think he wants to do this, he wants to

1188
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 9: help the president, he wants to get this built through.

1189
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 9: He supports it, but like any leader, he needs to

1190
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 9: have his troops with him. So it's been a kind

1191
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 9: of a lot of back room discussions and arm twisting

1192
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 9: and whatnot about how this is going to work and

1193
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 9: try to get senators on board to support what you're

1194
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 9: trying to accomplish. So you're looking at Senator lisim Merkowski,

1195
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 9: who's a post to the Save Act Republican in name only,

1196
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 9: I suppose, And then you've got other senators like Tom Tillis,

1197
01:00:48,160 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 9: who's retiring from North Carolina, who doesn't think this is

1198
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 9: a good idea, but hasn't really set he'll vote against anything.

1199
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 9: So we're at that point. We're at a really slim

1200
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 9: majority having the votes to get this scene through.

1201
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 5: Kelly, you're also so really politically savvy. You follow this

1202
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 5: stuff and the makeup of the Senate. It's always been

1203
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 5: conventional wisdom that the House may go to the Democrats.

1204
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 5: It's just kind of historically so it's pretty rare that

1205
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 5: the party in total power doesn't lose come the midterms.

1206
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 5: But Democrats have also never been as historically unpopular as

1207
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 5: they are too, so.

1208
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: Who's to say.

1209
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 5: But now there seems to be some people that conventionally

1210
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 5: think that the Senate had been in pretty solidly Republican

1211
01:01:25,280 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 5: control and only look to gain Now there are people

1212
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 5: that are suggesting that's on the wayan where do you

1213
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 5: see it. Do you think it's possible Republicans lose control

1214
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 5: of both chambers in the midterms.

1215
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 6: It's always possible.

1216
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 9: I think the real issue is going to be turnout

1217
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 9: because Republicans have had a turnout problem in the last

1218
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 9: two or three elections.

1219
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 6: Going they need back to twenty twenty two when.

1220
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 9: We were really kind of underestimated or over resident how

1221
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 9: well we would do and end the term election. Midterm

1222
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 9: elections typically are not friendly either to the party in

1223
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 9: power and or now to Republicans because, frankly, I remember

1224
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 9: the days when Democrats were considered the party of the

1225
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 9: working man, and back in those.

1226
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 6: Days Democrats have turnout problem. Well it's kind of reverseed.

1227
01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 9: Now we're the party of working families and whatnot, So

1228
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 9: now we're the ones with the issue of turnout. We

1229
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 9: had horrible turnout problems where I live in Virginia last

1230
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 9: year in arguementorial elections, We've lost a lot of seats

1231
01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 9: in legislature and it was all because of turnout. So

1232
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 9: to me, the Republicans are going to need a really good,

1233
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 9: strong turnout game. And also, by the way, I don't

1234
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 9: think it's foregone that we lose the House. I mean,

1235
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 9: there's only about twenty five twenty six seats that are

1236
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 9: really up grabs, so I really think there's a good

1237
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 9: chance we could actually keep control. A lot of it

1238
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 9: depends on how these redistricting battles that are going across

1239
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 9: states right now will turn out. We're having a big

1240
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 9: issue in Virginia e actually coming up in April twenty

1241
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 9: first about whether or not we buy into an extreme

1242
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 9: juryman or by Democrats, and that's really up in the air.

1243
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 6: I can go the way, so those issues have to

1244
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 6: be resolved, but set.

1245
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 9: Aside, I'm more confident than what I've been seeing in

1246
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 9: Polly Market and sending these other little websites about what's

1247
01:02:59,280 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 9: going to happen.

1248
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 6: But turnout is going to be the absolute pete.

1249
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 9: I'm really important that President Trump is really one has

1250
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 9: a lot of resources at a disposal, but also it

1251
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 9: was really energized to step in and try to drive

1252
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 9: the environment.

1253
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 5: And I think you still help and high drama like

1254
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 5: this with John Thune.

1255
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:16,840
Speaker 1: If he's successful and can get the.

1256
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 5: Save Acts across the finish line, that's going to do

1257
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 5: a lot to engender and inspire enthusiasm and turn out.

1258
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 5: Kelly Johnston, he's former Secretary of the Senate. Kelly Johnston

1259
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:28,800

01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 5: here Chicago. Thanks for listening on great radio stations like

1266
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 5: it all over the country, no matter where you happen

1267
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 5: to be. Just glad to have you along. The podcast

1268
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 5: always available. Just a reminder, I do want to let

1269
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 5: you know you Apple podcast users and I happen to

1270
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 5: be one, but I haven't had this issue some of

1271
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 5: you have.

1272
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: There something squirrely did happen and.

1273
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 5: Last week with Apple Podcasts and So those of you

1274
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 5: that have reached out to me to say, stick all,

1275
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 5: it hasn't been updating your podcasts at Apple, I know,

1276
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 5: and I have been told that it has been rectified,

1277
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 5: that it was quickly rectified. Apple tried to do something

1278
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 5: to update an app or some such thing, and it

1279
01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 5: ultimately ended up preventing not just mine, but many podcasts

1280
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,840
Speaker 5: from properly uploading as you're accustomed to. So I've been

1281
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 5: told update the app again, and everything's fine. It's if

1282
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 5: your app is up to date and current, it's uploading

1283
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,400
Speaker 5: and all the podcasts are there. But of course, there

1284
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 5: are many ways to listen to the podcast. Apple's just

1285
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 5: one of them. Spotify is another. iHeart.

1286
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 1: You can listen right off my website. You can go

1287
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to YouTube and listen to it that way. You can

1288
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: go to the.

1289
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 5: Salem Podcast Network website. There, it's everywhere anywhere podcasts are found.

1290
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: You can find the Chris Stagall Show.

1291
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 5: But I understand people that use Apple, you're used to

1292
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 5: that popping up in your feed. I mean, we tell

1293
01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 5: you to subscribe, after all, it's annoying when it doesn't work.

1294
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 5: So my apologies, but hopefully that's been rectified. Let's go

1295
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,439
Speaker 5: to Richard in Pittsburgh this morning. Who's been waiting patiently? Richard,

1296
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:07,760
Speaker 5: I'm glad you called. Thanks for waiting.

1297
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 21: High Hi, Chris, I was calling about our gee. What

1298
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 21: would I call him? I guess I'll just say governor.

1299
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 21: I was trying to think of a good adjective.

1300
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 5: Oh, you're talking about the dominutive, pocket sized governor Josh

1301
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 5: Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Yes, he was on with Bill Maher

1302
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 5: Friday played a clip of him earlier.

1303
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: What's your what are your thoughts on him?

1304
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 7: Well?

1305
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,800
Speaker 21: I had not heard that until you mentioned it. I

1306
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 21: was driving and hearing that, but I had an immediate

1307
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 21: flashback when you emphasized that he was kind of really

1308
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,240
Speaker 21: not telling us, you know, what his real position was.

1309
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 21: And my thought was, it sounds a whole lot like

1310
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 21: Nancy Pelosi when she told us you have to vote

1311
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 21: for the bill to see what's in it. Yeah, I

1312
01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 21: think Josh nobody.

1313
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead.

1314
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 21: Before you find out what my foreign policy really is.

1315
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 4: He's got a pretty tongue.

1316
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that, Josh Shapiro. He is a slick

1317
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 5: talking son of a gun. Richard, thank you so much.

1318
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 5: As people in Pennsylvania know this guy wants to be president.

1319
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 5: And there's probably nobody more polished, fast eddie than Josh Shapiro.

1320
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 5: I'll just warn you. I've been warning you for a while.

1321
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 5: This guy wants it and he is the one to watch.

1322
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 5: He's just got one problem. He's a Jew ed and

1323
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 5: there's no getting around that. He's a Jew. And man,

1324
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 5: do Democrats hate the Jews? Well here this came up

1325
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 5: in number forty four. What are you going to do

1326
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 5: about that?

1327
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 1: Josh?

1328
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 20: You're a Democrat running possibly for the nomination for re

1329
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 20: election as governor Pennsylvania, and you're Jewish and this is

1330
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 20: somehow maybe a complete deal breaker in the Democratic Party.

1331
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 20: I mean the speed at which and he saidism has

1332
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 20: gone to a place where I never imagined.

1333
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: It would go.

1334
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 20: I mean, just this past week, bombings at synagogue's in Toronto, Belgium, Michigan.

1335
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 20: The guy drove a truck with explosive into the largest

1336
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 20: synagogue in West Bloomfield, Norway. They arrested some in suspicious

1337
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 20: behavior outside of synagogue Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, synagogue.

1338
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: I see a pattern here.

1339
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 20: And somehow it got to among the young people, Anti

1340
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 20: Semitism got to be kind.

1341
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 1: Of cool and do you know that?

1342
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 5: Josh Shapiro said, well, you know, when I talk about

1343
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 5: my faith and travel around Pennsylvania, people I want in Pennsylvania,

1344
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 5: he said, I want in Pennsylvania, fast Eddy, That's what

1345
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 5: he says. I want in Pennsylvania and I talk about

1346
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 5: my faith. I'm going to be fine nationwide.

1347
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, yes, I'm sure in the Pacific Northwest

1348
01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 4: and the whole Golden Coast, he's going to be just

1349
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 4: great with the folks.

1350
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 5: I can tell you a little something about this, and

1351
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 5: we can just simply because we haven't have some unique

1352
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 5: perspective with media in Pennsylvania, johsh Shapiro's faith has nothing

1353
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 5: to do with who he is. This guy's been propped

1354
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 5: up by media as the Golden Child. Ed right, I

1355
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:19,280
Speaker 5: mean his faith he has. He's had a propaganda campaign

1356
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 5: around him since he was a commissioner of a county.

1357
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 4: Absolutely, yes, no, he is. It's been well known for many,

1358
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 4: many years on his political rise. The local paper here

1359
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 4: writes about it regularly. Yes, he's been groomed for this.

1360
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: He's he's.

1361
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:41,680
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, zero shot too jewish, as they say in

1362
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 5: the Melbrooks films. More in a minute. Hey, everybody's trying

1363
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 5: to save money where they can. If you buy your

1364
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:49,599
Speaker 5: own health insurance or if you're on Obamacare, you know

1365
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 5: how expensive those premiums are getting. It's why I've sent

1366
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 5: my own parents, my personal friends, and my colleagues to

1367
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 5: John Ruhlman and his team at US medical Plan dot com.

1368
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,280
Speaker 5: John works with one hundred different private health insurance companies

1369
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 5: across the country to find you the very best coverage

1370
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 5: at the very best rates. My own parents saved four

1371
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 5: hundred dollars a month each on their Medicare supplemental health

1372
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:13,599
Speaker 5: insurance premiums reaching out to John Rouman and US medical

1373
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,320
Speaker 5: Plan dot com. I have a friend in between jobs.

1374
01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 5: She reached out to US Medical Plan to replace her

1375
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 5: Cobra insurance rates. Saved six hundred dollars a month. A

1376
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 5: personal friend who buys his own families health insurance out

1377
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 5: of pocket. I send him to John and now he's

1378
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 5: saving one thousand dollars a month. Listen, folks, this is

1379
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 5: one of the easiest ways to save appreciable money every

1380
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,680
Speaker 5: month without sacrificing coverage. But you're not going to know

01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 5: Hey there, it's Chris back on the phone with my

1385
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 5: dentist and friend, Bob Sponato at Williamsburg Dental in Brumall, Pennsylvania,

1386
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 5: just off the Blue Route. With new technology, you have

1387
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:53,880
Speaker 5: not just new associates, but they brought new technology into

1388
01:09:53,880 --> 01:09:55,879
Speaker 5: the business to make it a little easier for patients.

1389
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 22: Yeah, it's a very exciting time in dentistry. We have

1390
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,720
Speaker 22: now introduced a street mentional X ray call to cbct

1391
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 22: CAN in our office which allows us to diagnose and

1392
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 22: things earlier for patients. My daughter is placing a lot

1393
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 22: of implants in the past that referred out as now

1394
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 22: being done in house. And we also we've been using

1395
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 22: dental or computer scanners who are taking impressions for crowns

1396
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 22: for about the last two to three years. We now

1397
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 22: have introduced the next step, which is a milling machine

1398
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 22: and anything now make crowns in the office. Things can

1399
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 22: be completed in the same day, as opposed to having

1400
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 22: a temporary ground put on in three weeks later coming

1401
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 22: back and having a permit cround put on. I think

1402
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,599
Speaker 22: it's really a game changer and it's a time saver

1403
01:10:35,760 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 22: for our patients have to make multiple visits to the office, pick.

1404
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 5: Up the phone or go online make that appointment six

1436
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 5: dollars goal for this noble noble cause they have been

1437
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 5: outstanding friends and partners of the Salem Media Group for

1438
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 5: a long time. One of the blessings of being able

1439
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:13,599
Speaker 5: to work with my parent company, Salem is they are

1440
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:16,760
Speaker 5: mission oriented. And it's the first time in my life

1441
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 5: that I've worked for a broadcast company and a streaming

1442
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 5: company that actually says we believe in mission work. We

1443
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 5: believe in using our resources to help those in need

1444
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 5: and spread the light of Christ. And I find that

1445
01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 5: to be really remarkable in twenty twenty six that there's

1446
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 5: a company that's still pledged to do that, and they

1447
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 5: partner with Christ centered missionary missionaries like Food for the

1448
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 5: Poor in doing just that. It only works though, with

1449
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 5: your support and your help. And you were so generous

1450
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 5: last year. If you can do it again and be

1451
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 5: helpful this year, I ask whatever you can do. I'm

1452
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,760
Speaker 5: not asking for a ton I'm asking for whatever. If

1453
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,719
Speaker 5: it's five bucks, so be it. Food for the Poor

1454
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 5: is constantly on the ground helping rush clean, living water

1455
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 5: to thirsty kids throughout the poor countries in the Hemisphere.

1456
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:04,679
Speaker 5: Honduras is one of the many places where they help.

1457
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 5: They have zero clean drinking water in many places in Honduras,

1458
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 5: and this is where Food for the Port literally goes

1459
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:15,880
Speaker 5: into towns and villages and helps get that clean water

1460
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 5: to kids where one in ten under the age of

1461
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 5: five suffer chronic dehydration. Isn't that a stunning statistic, chronic

1462
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 5: dehydration one in ten kids under the age of five

1463
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 5: in some of these areas that they go into. Your

1464
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 5: donations are already making a huge difference throughout the hemisphere.

1465
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 5: If you can help today, I hope that you.

1466
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:38,000

Speaker 17: It is?

1504
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 11: It's Sean Salter, who's another Southern California conservative who wasn't

01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 11: invited to this thing out in the Inland Empire.

1506
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: Take it up with Jen Horn. Take it up with

1507
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: Jen Horn. Not my deal.

1508
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 11: Were me and our mutual palall being at steam Packs.

1509
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 11: So I'm just I'm just going to take offense. Uh

1510
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 11: but hell am I I'm just some guy I just guessed.

1511
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: Goes for I don't know. I don't know. I wasn't

1512
01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 1: invited to sea Pack. You get invited to sea Pack?

1513
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: What do I know? I don't know.

1514
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, how's the world treating you? I don't much

1515
01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 5: care about.

1516
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: Any of it. I gotta tell you something, can I can?

1517
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: I be perfectly honest with you. You know what, I'm getting

1518
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 1: sick to death of talking about a lot.

1519
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 7: To me?

1520
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:55,759
Speaker 5: Who are personalities and conservatism? I don't give a rats

1521
01:15:56,200 --> 01:16:00,400
Speaker 5: ass about personalities and conservatism at all. And I think

1522
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 5: we've become so focused on personalities and conservatism we don't

1523
01:16:03,880 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 5: know how to win elections. That's what I think. We

1524
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 5: run the risk of becoming two personality food fight obsessed.

1525
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 5: And if we don't stop screwing around talking about personalities

1526
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 5: and focus on elections, we're gonna lose our asses.

1527
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 1: That's my thought.

1528
01:16:17,439 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 11: Yours, well, I think we're gonna we start focusing on

1529
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 11: fixing the economy and victory over scumbacks, and of course

1530
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:31,679
Speaker 11: amazing conservative culture like Blue Flame, the new Kelly Turnbull.

1531
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 1: Amen, that's what we need. But you know what I'm

1532
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: talking about.

1533
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 5: I'm not and I don't want to name names, but

1534
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 5: you know what I'm talking about. There's this whole culture

1535
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,360
Speaker 5: now because they're all trying to build a thing where

1536
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 5: they're fighting with one another.

1537
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: And I don't care about it.

1538
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 11: I don't mind people building a thing. It's just if

1539
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,919
Speaker 11: their things sucks, you know, if it's based on creating.

1540
01:16:55,720 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 11: I mean, like Candice Owen's I think she's that's by Pozzu.

1541
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 11: I don't know what happened to Tucker. Do you hit

1542
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 11: his head or something? I mean some of them, some

1543
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 11: of them's actively stupid, like the people like you know,

1544
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 11: I was looking at the footage of Butler and I

1545
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 11: think it's fake, just like the moon landing and my

1546
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 11: highsol diploma. It's all a fraud, and it's just you know,

1547
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 11: I mean, the last few months have revealed that a

1548
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 11: lot of the people that we like are incredibly stupid

1549
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 11: or incredibly insane.

1550
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: Do you think here's a question. Since your question, I

1551
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,080
Speaker 1: understand that in a media era.

1552
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 5: Where we're we're all trying to everyone. Everyone in media

1553
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 5: is trying to get attention. Everyone in media is that's hard.

1554
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 5: That's the thing. If you don't have people watching or

1555
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 5: listening or reading, then it's no good, right, That's how

1556
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 5: we all make our money. The question is, when we

1557
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:54,920
Speaker 5: all start the inside the tent shooting, what does that

1558
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 5: do politically for the movement? Do we care about winning

1559
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 5: elections or just all about shooting at one another, trying

1560
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 5: to be the most whatever.

1561
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:04,840
Speaker 11: Well, look, there's not a lot of.

1562
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 1: Remember, all human endeavor.

1563
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:09,000
Speaker 11: Is high school.

1564
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Well said, it just is so.

1565
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:15,640
Speaker 11: I mean, if you're stunned that, oh my gosh, some

1566
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 11: people in the conservative movement are putting their own personal

1567
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,720
Speaker 11: short term gain over a long term you know, kind

1568
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 11: of ambiguous success that they may not be able to

1569
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 11: personally partake him. I'm stunned. Now, I'm not stunned. Okay,

1570
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:30,960
Speaker 11: I've seen me and girls. I know how this works.

1571
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 11: The fact is a lot of people in Conservatism are

1572
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 11: trying to make thatch happen, and it's not gonna happen.

1573
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 5: Colonel Kurt Schlichter and the brand new book, by the way,

1574
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,599
Speaker 5: people can go right now to look for Blue Flame

1575
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 5: and look at the trailer right now, follow Colonel at

1576
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 5: Kurt Schlichter. I would be remiss if I did not

1577
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 5: ask you about the effort and Iran at the moment

1578
01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 5: and where you think things stand for it.

1579
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love the ourgy.

1580
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:04,080
Speaker 11: I understand why we started a war. Well, that's because

1581
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:09,519
Speaker 11: you're fuck You're freaking sixteen years old and you and

1582
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 11: you just became aware of politics like three weeks ago,

1583
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 11: because your favorite podcaster slash comedian became aware of politics

1584
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 11: four weeks ago. I was in college freshmen when these

1585
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 11: seventh century goat molesters started screwing with our hostages. I

1586
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 11: went through embassies being blown up, our marines being blown up,

1587
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 11: our troops being blown up, and I kind of remember,

1588
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 11: we've been at war with him for forty seven years.

1589
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 11: I think it's about time we fight back. And you know,

1590
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 11: I prefer when we fight our enemies that we beat them.

1591
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 11: America's losing feet. I saw this footage of a Tel

1592
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 11: Aviv on fire. It was very realistic. And net Ya,

1593
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 11: who's hiding because he's scared.

1594
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:51,479
Speaker 1: He's scared of.

1595
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 11: Them, and the gates of heart moveth and you know,

1596
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 11: we got these budding geographers who are like the streates

1597
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 11: of heart moves. I was also an e the epidemiology

1598
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 11: expert when COVID was out, and an economist when tariffs

1599
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 11: came out. And now I'm a military stratus slash geographer.

1600
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 11: I'm the Magellan that meets soun sue and and and

1601
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 11: we shut up.

1602
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Okay, your mom upstairs.

1603
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,839
Speaker 11: You know, if he's trying to make you some hormale

1604
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 11: chilling and you're down in the basement screaming into a microphone.

1605
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: Would you like to uh would you like to handicap this?

1606
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: How this ends? Do you think it ends? Swiftly? Yeah?

1607
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 1: Well sorry, different.

1608
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 11: Yes, let me differently able this. I think it's about

1609
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 11: a one chance that this massive uh unprecedented victory, which

1610
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 11: is uh hitherto unknown in the military art of which

1611
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 11: I'm glancingly familiar because I've you know, actually done things,

1612
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:03,760
Speaker 11: is in two weeks we've managed to decapitate an entire

1613
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 11: country from a distance. We destroyed their integrated air defenses.

1614
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:12,080
Speaker 11: We have dominated every bit of the battle space air

1615
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 11: seed late well see their cyber electronic warfare information. We've

1616
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:23,640
Speaker 11: dominated everything except the land component, and we're about to

1617
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:27,800
Speaker 11: grab that part too, as the Iranian people rise up

1618
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 11: and take back their country.

1619
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 5: This is all right, brother, Hannibal Alexander, I am, I am.

1620
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 1: I'm up against it. Brother, I'm sorry. You understand the game.

1621
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:41,839
Speaker 5: It's People's Republic, blue flame, go get it now. Kurt Schlichter,

01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 5: I hope your weekend was a strong one, RESTful one.

1625
01:21:52,760 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 5: I hope you got to spend it doing something you

1626
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 5: enjoyed doing with family and friends. Maybe you worked. If

1627
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 5: you were working, God bless you. I know what it

1628
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,160
Speaker 5: is to have to work over the weekend. I get

1629
01:22:01,200 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 5: notes from time to time they say, you know, not

1630
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 5: all of us are just kicked back relaxing over the

1631
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 5: week and we actually work stigaul, I get it. Same

1632
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 5: for you people that work on holidays. Thank you, particularly

1633
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,200
Speaker 5: those of you that keep the coffee hot. You don't

1634
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:13,760
Speaker 5: know what that means to us seven days a week.

1635
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 5: So anyway, welcome in however you get here, and our

1636
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 5: thanks to the good people at ifcj our friends and

1637
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 5: partners who do extraordinary work in an extraordinary time. I mean, really,

1638
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 5: all the time in Israel is a time that they're

1639
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,400
Speaker 5: on heightened alert. It seems certainly now when the sirens

1640
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 5: are blaring and you have seconds to get to a

1641
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 5: bomb shelter. That's happening all across Israel, particularly now during

1642
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 5: Operation Epic Fury. As it continues, you're talking about little kids,

1643
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 5: You're talking about elderly folks and just families whose lives

1644
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 5: are really being disrupted. Many older folks and little kids.

1645
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 5: I mean either those that have either lost their property

1646
01:22:49,560 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 5: and just basic shelter, or those who need help with

1647
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 5: medicines or other items. Maybe people that need a shelter,

1648
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 5: you know that's still very much in need, just a

1649
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 5: very basic security bomb shelter. Every time those sirens blair,

1650
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,080
Speaker 5: you got to get to those and get there quick.

1651
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,920
Speaker 5: And it may be that you're there sometimes for hours

1652
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 5: or even days at a time.

1653
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:10,080
Speaker 1: Who knows.

1654
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 5: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews the exists on the

1655
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:17,600
Speaker 5: ground there to help folks in that need, and the

1656
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:21,040
Speaker 5: need is there, and they bring the life saving aid

1657
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 5: and emergency supplies to the very vulnerable folks in that nation.

1658
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 5: And if you've ever wondered what it looks like, if

1659
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 5: you've ever wondered what it is to be a part

1660
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:34,799
Speaker 5: of standing with Israel, standing against good, standing against evil

1661
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 5: with good, this is the picture that you can be

1662
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,160
Speaker 5: a part of. IFCJ does some remarkable work on the ground,

1663
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 5: join Christians around the world not only praying for Israel

1664
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 5: and the brave troops both of ours and theirs that

1665
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 5: are putting their lives on the line and the battle

1666
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,040
Speaker 5: of good versus evil, but also you can stand in

1667
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:55,680
Speaker 5: prayer by joining, reading more learning how to pray and

1668
01:23:55,760 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 5: help the good people at IFCJ by going to their websites.

1669
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:06,759
Speaker 5: Support IFJ dot org, Support IFCJ dot org. The Trump

1670
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 5: administration has invoked the Defense Production Act in order to

1671
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 5: get drilling off the West Coast fired up again. That's

1672
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 5: a lot of shuttered offshore operations in California, and now

1673
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 5: he's saying that the move is necessary to address oil

1674
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 5: supply disruption risks and reduce reliance on foreign crude. This

1675
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 5: will be an interesting thing. Chris Wright, the Energy Secretary,

1676
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 5: said Friday. An oil and gas company headquartered in Houston

1677
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:43,320
Speaker 5: will be permitted to restore operations off the coast of

1678
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:46,360
Speaker 5: Santa Barbara. According to a statement from the Department of Energy,

1679
01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:51,000
Speaker 5: the order prioritizes restarting oil production and pipeline capacity to

1680
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 5: move crude through the Los Flores pipeline system to Pentland Station,

1681
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:01,480
Speaker 5: a key inland hub for transporting offshore oil refineries. California

1682
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 5: once supplied nearly forty percent of US oil production, but

1683
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 5: decades of radical state policies targeting reliable energy sources have

1684
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 5: driven decline in domestic output, while fuel demand remains among

1685
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 5: the highest in the nation, said the Department of Energy,

1686
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,960
Speaker 5: and so today more than sixty percent of the oil

1687
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:24,320
Speaker 5: refined in California comes from overseas, a significant share traveling

1688
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 5: through the Strait of horn Moves. This presents a national

1689
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 5: security threat. So that will be fascinating to see if

1690
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:33,960
Speaker 5: a judge gets involved. I can imagine a judge coming

1691
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 5: in and riding rough shod over President Trump and saying Nope,

1692
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,879
Speaker 5: you can't do that, And that will be an interesting

1693
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 5: look if a judge gets involved in saying no, we

1694
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,559
Speaker 5: cannot produce more of our own oil and help domestic oil, energy,

1695
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 5: oil and energy prices decline. Meanwhile, President Trump and top

1696
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 5: aids spent the weekend framing their Iran operation as a

1697
01:25:56,560 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 5: resounding military success, writes The Wall Street Journal, while imploring

1698
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:05,040
Speaker 5: other countries to join their effort in a resolve to

1699
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 5: tackle a worsening energy situation in the Strait of horm Moves.

1700
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 5: The Trump administration as soon as this week plans to

1701
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 5: announce multiple countries have agreed to form a coalition that

1702
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 5: will escort ships through the Strait of horn Moves, which

1703
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,879
Speaker 5: runs along the Iranian coast. The US and potential coalition

1704
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:26,839
Speaker 5: countries are still discussing whether those operations would be before

1705
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 5: or after the war. The White House declined to comment.

1706
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 5: Trump telling reporters Sunday the administration had reached out to

1707
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 5: seven nations to help police the Strait, but decline to

1708
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 5: say whether any had agreed to assist for any the decline,

1709
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 5: he said, we will remember publicly many countries have been

1710
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:50,360
Speaker 5: noncommittal to such an escort mission until hostilities cease. Gas

1711
01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:53,080
Speaker 5: prices are the immediate thing. That's what's going to immediately

1712
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 5: here at home, get a public response one way or

1713
01:26:56,760 --> 01:26:58,760
Speaker 5: the other. The President is well aware of that, so

1714
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:03,320
Speaker 5: he's trying to ameliorate people struggles financially tough needle to

1715
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 5: threat moren a minute. A couple of different pieces of

1716
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 5: news about Cuba over the weekend that you should know about.

1717
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 5: This kind of came out of left field. Cuba is

1718
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:16,599
Speaker 5: expected now to announce this from the Miami Herald, Cuba

1719
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 5: is expected to announce major economic reforms this week, allowing

1720
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 5: exiles to own private firms on the island. Whoa big

1721
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,200
Speaker 5: if true, ladies and gentlemen, And that's not all. Cuba's

1722
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 5: president confirms that he is having talks with the United

1723
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 5: States but Warren's in agreement will take time. Cuba's government

1724
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 5: held talks with Donald Trump's administration, the country's president said

1725
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 5: heading into the weekend. It confirmed speculation the two countries

1726
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 5: were talking after President Trump renewed his threat of a

1727
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:54,280
Speaker 5: friendly takeover of Cuba, saying the communist run Caribbean island

1728
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 5: was in deep trouble.

1729
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: This.

1730
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 5: I can't get my mind wrapped around how consequential this

1731
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 5: president is. If in fact this comes, a free and

1732
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 5: liberated Cuba comes. Apparently the government there, I guess there's

1733
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 5: some protesters that are storming now the government buildings there,

1734
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:16,679
Speaker 5: crying for liberation and freedom.

1735
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,040
Speaker 1: This is huge.

1736
01:28:19,720 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 5: They just hoisted the American flag at the American embassy

1737
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,799
Speaker 5: in Venezuela over the weekend.

1738
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 1: Do you see what's happening?

1739
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 5: The liberation of Cuba, perhaps and Iran from their authoritarian nightmares,

1740
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:38,120
Speaker 5: as well as Venezuela. This would rank among the greatest

1741
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,679
Speaker 5: victories for human freedom and modern history.

1742
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's.

1743
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 5: Comparable to the fall of the Berlin Wall in eighty nine,

1744
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:48,559
Speaker 5: are the collapse of the Soviet Union. All of us

1745
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 5: should pray these things happen. They are happening Cuba for instance,

1746
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 5: has endured more than six decades of communist ruin. I mean,

1747
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,160
Speaker 5: when you think about the Castro regime, I was remembering

1748
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,240
Speaker 5: that it was Obama that went down to Cuba with

1749
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 5: Raoul or his brother. Yeah, it was no, it was Raoul,

1750
01:29:08,360 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 5: that's right. Fidel's brother. Raoul was in charge of the time,

1751
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 5: and he went down there and stood in front of

1752
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 5: a picture of Scha Guavera on the side of a

1753
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 5: building and went to a baseball game, started normalizing relations

1754
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 5: with these goons. President Trump naturally sees it differently. He

1755
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 5: sees the Castro regime turning a vibrant island into a

1756
01:29:30,200 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 5: prison of ration, books and political repression and economic decay

1757
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 5: and mass exodus. And so their collapse would not just

1758
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:44,080
Speaker 5: remove a dictatorship, it would close the final major chapter

1759
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:49,960
Speaker 5: of Marxist rule in the Western hemisphere. That's huge. Again,

1760
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,320
Speaker 5: just like Venezuela, this is our block. You know, it's

1761
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:57,760
Speaker 5: one thing to talk about Europe, Asia, Middle East, but

1762
01:29:57,840 --> 01:30:01,320
Speaker 5: we're talking about the Western hemisphere. Venezuela was a real problem.

1763
01:30:01,400 --> 01:30:05,720
Speaker 5: Cuba has consistently been a problem. Families divided by the

1764
01:30:05,760 --> 01:30:09,599
Speaker 5: Florida Straits could reunite. Can you imagine that private property

1765
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 5: could be reclaimed, markets could open there. Can you imagine

1766
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 5: Cuba being a place where free market, free trade, maybe

1767
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 5: even become an American territory. There's talk of that. You know,

1768
01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:24,559
Speaker 5: Havana could once again become a city of energy and

1769
01:30:24,600 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 5: commerce and culture, and hope, instead of stagnation and fear,

1770
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:34,120
Speaker 5: Iran's liberation would be even more consequential.

1771
01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:35,680
Speaker 1: President Trump was asked about this.

1772
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 5: You know, the press doubts that the people of Iran

1773
01:30:38,479 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 5: even want that. Give me number fifty seven here, asked

1774
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 5: if Iranians rising up, they're not doing it, as you ask,

1775
01:30:45,160 --> 01:30:50,560
Speaker 5: why aren't they doing that? President Trump answers, this, you're dealing.

1776
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 13: With thugs, you're dealing with Laura people. You're dealing with

1777
01:30:55,240 --> 01:31:00,439
Speaker 13: people in a while into and that's the leadership people.

1778
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:06,439
Speaker 13: They're militaria with their police, and they've notified everybody, and

1779
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 13: they've put out statements that if you protest, you're going

1780
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:14,280
Speaker 13: to be shot in job. Protesters have no guns. And

1781
01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 13: I know you're a brave person, but I don't think

1782
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:19,639
Speaker 13: you'd be broadtesting then. So I think it's very hard

1783
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:21,600
Speaker 13: for them. I only understand it.

1784
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, he said, they put out statements that say you'll

1785
01:31:27,080 --> 01:31:31,439
Speaker 5: be shot and killed. The protesters don't have guns, very

1786
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 5: hard for them to protest, and I understand it. Iran

1787
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 5: killed thirty two hundred thirty two thousand protesters. At least

1788
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 5: we think the numbers much higher than that. So they're enthusiastic,

1789
01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 5: they want change, but they've put out a notice they're

1790
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,400
Speaker 5: going to shoot and kill any protester. I can fully

1791
01:31:46,439 --> 01:31:49,680
Speaker 5: understand why they're not doing it. Trump really can understand

1792
01:31:51,320 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 5: what's going on inside Cuba. Inside Iran, their liberation would

1793
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 5: be so consequential. For forty six years, the Mullas have

1794
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 5: refused religious liberties and instead favored religious tyranny, and they've

1795
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:09,280
Speaker 5: fused it with terror, using oppression at home to finance

1796
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:10,040
Speaker 5: chaos all.

1797
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:10,599
Speaker 1: Over the world.

1798
01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 5: They've brutalized women, they've crushed descent, They've pursued nuclear black male,

1799
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:23,160
Speaker 5: They've armed proxy militias all over the Middle East. A

1800
01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 5: fall of Iran would not simply free ninety million Iranians.

1801
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,759
Speaker 5: It would strike at the very center of the world's

1802
01:32:29,800 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 5: most dangerous terror network, Hesbola Hamas, the Houthis. They'd all

1803
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,640
Speaker 5: lose their standing at one time the region would have

1804
01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 5: a real chance at peace Iran's wealth could serve its people.

1805
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 5: Imagine that same for Cuba. Imagine these countries free and

1806
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 5: trading and open they were once. That's the thing. This

1807
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 5: isn't like Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan. Folks, Cuba and

1808
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:04,799
Speaker 5: Iran were actually beautiful, flourishing places of commerce and relative freedom.

1809
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 5: Iran's wealth is immense. It could serve its people instead

1810
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 5: of funding missiles and militias and repression. And even Iran's

1811
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 5: neighbors know it.

1812
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 1: And want that.

1813
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,600
Speaker 5: So two do cubas I believe, taken together, whether you

1814
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 5: look at Venezuela, Cuba, maybe Iran. The fall of these

1815
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:27,680
Speaker 5: regimes it's historic. Cuba would mark the collapse of the

1816
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 5: last major communist hold out in our hemisphere. Iran would

1817
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:35,680
Speaker 5: mark the defeat of the most dangerous theocratic regime in

1818
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:41,639
Speaker 5: the modern world. One would close the Cold World War's

1819
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:46,320
Speaker 5: last rotten outpost in the Americas. The other would break

1820
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 5: the spine of terror across the Middle East. That is

1821
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 5: just huge. If Donald Trump were the leader under whom

1822
01:33:56,160 --> 01:34:00,040
Speaker 5: both fell, as well as what he's already achieved with

1823
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 5: Maduro in Venezuela, that would stand as one of the

1824
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:09,599
Speaker 5: great strategic achievements of modern state craft. And it has

1825
01:34:09,640 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 5: nothing to do with nation building. That's the thing. It's

1826
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 5: not building something out of nothing. They were something on

1827
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:21,639
Speaker 5: their own. These were great nations all Venezuela, Cuba, Iran,

1828
01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 5: and then they fell into the hands of despots and

1829
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 5: communists and terrorists. President Trump didn't go on these ventures

1830
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:36,680
Speaker 5: to nation build. He proved something the foreign policy establishment

1831
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 5: spent decades denying. Tyranny does not have to be permanent.

1832
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 5: Appeasement of tyranny is not smart, it's not wisdom. Freedom

1833
01:34:49,600 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 5: still matters. Freedom still advances when strength gives a pressed

1834
01:34:54,720 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 5: people room to rise, and that means a whole lot

1835
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 5: more than just regime change. By the way, it would

1836
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:13,040
Speaker 5: be the rebirth of three nations Venezuela, Cuba, Iran in

1837
01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,080
Speaker 5: a year. I mean we're basically not even We're talking

1838
01:35:15,080 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 5: about within months of one another. Really again, I don't

1839
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 5: want to get ahead of myself. There's a lot that

1840
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:22,639
Speaker 5: could happen, but think of what we are talking about,

1841
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:30,360
Speaker 5: perhaps a real global realignment, the defeat of three different

1842
01:35:30,479 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 5: engines of misery, poverty, control, tyranny. It also serves as

1843
01:35:40,320 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 5: a reminder to the world history still belongs to those

1844
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 5: willing to fight for liberty and that we here in

1845
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 5: the United States, we are that lamp, We're that light post,

1846
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:56,400
Speaker 5: We're that lamp stand. We're the ones that stand in

1847
01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 5: the breach for liberty and freedom against tyranny and oppression.

1848
01:36:04,600 --> 01:36:07,599
Speaker 5: If you truly want peace, you have to be rid

1849
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:12,160
Speaker 5: of the scourge of despots in Iran. You can't have

1850
01:36:12,320 --> 01:36:17,600
Speaker 5: people in Cuba hosting little submarine parties off of Florida's

1851
01:36:17,600 --> 01:36:21,320
Speaker 5: coast with China and Russia. You can't have a thug,

1852
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 5: a drug kingpin like Maduro sending oil to places like

1853
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,639
Speaker 5: Cuba and doing business with places like Iran.

1854
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:30,720
Speaker 1: You see now.

1855
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:34,599
Speaker 5: And then add to all of that President Trump's strategy

1856
01:36:35,120 --> 01:36:39,479
Speaker 5: in maybe taking Greenland, and by taking that, I mean,

1857
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:43,000
Speaker 5: of course, occupying a good part of Greenland for our

1858
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 5: own national interest and defenses in this hemisphere. President Trump

1859
01:36:48,479 --> 01:36:52,599
Speaker 5: is thinking big, and he's thinking about things quite frankly,

1860
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:54,439
Speaker 5: I will say, as a voter of his for a

1861
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 5: third time in this last cycle, I wasn't thinking about Greenland.

1862
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,040
Speaker 5: I wasn't thinking about regime change in Venezuela. I wasn't

1863
01:37:03,040 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 5: thinking Cuba could ever be something that we deal with.

1864
01:37:05,360 --> 01:37:07,120
Speaker 5: And I just always assumed we were going to have

1865
01:37:07,160 --> 01:37:13,839
Speaker 5: these silly, open ended conversations with Iran. I never imagined

1866
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:17,840
Speaker 5: we could actually topple their dictatorships and the people there

1867
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:22,840
Speaker 5: could potentially have a real shot at freedom and commerce

1868
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 5: and trade with the United States, which is more security

1869
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 5: for US and more commerce for US. It isn't the

1870
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,799
Speaker 5: American interest and it's amazing to see what Trump's achieved

1871
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:40,120
Speaker 5: here more in a minute. The former Fifth Fleet Commander

1872
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:46,719
Speaker 5: Admiral Dunnaghan joined Martha Radditts this weekend on ABC number

1873
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:49,439
Speaker 5: fifty three and shot down this whole notion that.

1874
01:37:50,360 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: We were just flummis.

1875
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 5: We had no idea they shut down the Straight of

1876
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:56,320
Speaker 5: Horror moves they were attacking ships going through it.

1877
01:37:56,320 --> 01:37:58,679
Speaker 1: Well, we didn't know anything about that. We never imagine

1878
01:37:58,680 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 1: that it had I mean, it's just it.

1879
01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 5: I said this to my friend Larry O'Connor on his

1880
01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:05,559
Speaker 5: show on town Hall Friday. It insults me to think

1881
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,360
Speaker 5: that men and women who have given their entire careers

1882
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:14,280
Speaker 5: to studying war and combat and leadership would not have said, boss,

1883
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:16,759
Speaker 5: here's some things to consider. If we go after Iran,

1884
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:19,120
Speaker 5: they're going to shut down the Straight apart like that.

1885
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:22,400
Speaker 5: Wasn't a consideration, like they'd never thought that through. Here's

1886
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 5: the Admiral.

1887
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:26,160
Speaker 3: I would say that if you look at the campaign

1888
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:30,280
Speaker 3: sent comes initiated, this was built into it from the beginning,

1889
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:33,479
Speaker 3: and when you think about it in terms of the

1890
01:38:33,520 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 3: things that the chairman said and the things that Admiral

1891
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 3: Cooper said, his mission was one of the things in

1892
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 3: there was just to go after the Navy. And what

1893
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 3: they really meant was of Ram's capability to control the

1894
01:38:44,560 --> 01:38:46,760
Speaker 3: straits when this is over, because we don't want them

1895
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,439
Speaker 3: to have power projection capability. We also don't want them

1896
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:51,720
Speaker 3: to have this leverage over this internet. You know, this

1897
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:56,280
Speaker 3: is such an important show hold. So this effort that's

1898
01:38:56,360 --> 01:38:59,600
Speaker 3: being done and being waged by Sentcom is specifically to

1899
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:03,200
Speaker 3: get at their cruise missile threat, their ability to launch

1900
01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 3: drones and votes put mines in the water, all those

1901
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,439
Speaker 3: things that when this is over, you want them.

1902
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 7: Not to have.

1903
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so obviously it was always part of the plan

1904
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:14,600
Speaker 5: and they were well aware of what they were going

1905
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:16,920
Speaker 5: to have to deal with. Trump's energy triumph. A piece

1906
01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 5: by Kimberly Strassel at The Wall Street Journal worth your

1907
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 5: read headline Trump's Energy Triumph She summarizes it this way,

1908
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 5: is the US gains ground against Iran's offensive capabilities. Yes,

1909
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:31,240
Speaker 5: Hormuz is causing disruptions, but they're likely to be short lived.

1910
01:39:32,080 --> 01:39:34,919
Speaker 5: Now the United States can devote more assets to restoring

1911
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 5: shipping lanes. The Secretary of Energy on Thursday explained it

1912
01:39:38,479 --> 01:39:41,760
Speaker 5: a short term pain for the long term gain of

1913
01:39:41,920 --> 01:39:45,559
Speaker 5: denying Iran the ability to hold the world hostage whenever

1914
01:39:45,600 --> 01:39:48,960
Speaker 5: it wants. Indeed, write Strassel, the ability to do it all,

1915
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 5: and whether the short term will be thanks to a

1916
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:55,960
Speaker 5: Trump team that had clear eyed, multifaceted fossil fuel energy

1917
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 5: plan in place. That's exactly right. And I would just

1918
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:01,920
Speaker 5: leave you with this today. If you think that the

1919
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:06,320
Speaker 5: Democrats are somehow rolling, or maybe you're feeling uneasy, or

1920
01:40:06,360 --> 01:40:09,600
Speaker 5: you think I do have many, many optimists still in

1921
01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:11,799
Speaker 5: this audience that do not believe it's a fatal complete

1922
01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 5: that Republicans are going to lose the House and Senate

1923
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 5: this fall. And I think for good reason you can

1924
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:18,439
Speaker 5: feel optimistic about it.

1925
01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:20,360
Speaker 1: You know why. I have two different stories in.

1926
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,280
Speaker 5: Front of me today, one from Axios, one from Breitbart,

1927
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:26,519
Speaker 5: both of whom state unequivocally that people inside the Democrat

1928
01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 5: Party are terrified that they don't know what the hell

1929
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:30,400
Speaker 5: they're doing or stand for, and of course they don't.

1930
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 5: Democrats face a post Trump identity crisis. Top party strategists

1931
01:40:36,320 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 5: are warning they can't win back the White House in

1932
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:41,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty eight by coasting on voters dissatisfaction with MAGA.

1933
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:46,679
Speaker 5: You can't win a presidential election on opposition alone, said

1934
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:50,160
Speaker 5: Jim Messina, part of Obama's twenty twelve campaign.

1935
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 1: That's exactly right.

1936
01:40:51,479 --> 01:40:55,080
Speaker 5: Two former campaign managers for Obama also warning the Democrat

1937
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 5: parties in a mess ahead of the next election. Pluff

1938
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 5: is out there warning Democrat rats they're not ready to

1939
01:41:01,560 --> 01:41:04,400
Speaker 5: win in what are now red states, in neutral or

1940
01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:05,840
Speaker 5: even ever changing environments.

1941
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:08,680
Speaker 1: So I'm not you know.

1942
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:10,519
Speaker 5: Look, and then you got this guy with the Nazi

1943
01:41:10,560 --> 01:41:14,439
Speaker 5: tattoo up in Maine, Swalwell with his mortgage Swalwell running

1944
01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:16,960
Speaker 5: for governor out there in California with his mortgage problem.

1945
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:19,759
Speaker 5: You got Styer, who I think.

1946
01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: Is is it?

1947
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:20,880
Speaker 17: No?

1948
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 1: Who is it? Think? Is it Tom Steyer?

1949
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:28,639
Speaker 5: And that primaryat's Tom Steyer who's firing at Swalwell over

1950
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:32,759
Speaker 5: his mortgage fraud allegations. Under the Trump administration. Ladies and gentlemen,

1951
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 5: The Democrats are in a mess. Trump is laser focused.

1952
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:40,120
Speaker 5: We'll see you tomorrow. So that's a wrap for another
