00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the program. No lictocrats allowed, because we've got

00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: great again. Close quote. We will interview doctor Stephen Meyer,

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: about the origin of life and the universe, and asked

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: the question, is there any plausible explanation other than that

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: there is a creator for the creation of life in

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: the universe. President Trump signs off, and the largest drop

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: in prescription drug history. Neither CNN nor mson'll cover the event.

16
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: And you wonder why Donald Trump has such low ratings

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: when it comes to affordability. The California Governor's debate shows

18
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: if Gavin newsom successor is a Democrat, he or she

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: will be just as bad, if not worse. Chuck Schumer

00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: maybe something we didn't get to this week, maybe something

30
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: that you have a question about, some topic you think

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: deserves more discussion. Triple eight ninety seven one seven two

00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: Yahoo says he's cancer free after an early diagnosis of

35
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: prostate cancer. He said he delayed disclosing the diagnosis due

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: to the possibility of being used as propaganda during the

37
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: conflict with Iran. Quote I requested to delay its publication

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: by two months so it would not be released at

39
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: the height of the war in order not to allow

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the Iranian terror regime to spread even more false propaganda

41
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: against Israel. He said it was caught at a very

42
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: early stage. The tumor was less than a centimeter had

43
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: not spread. He's seventy six years old, and he is

44
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: told that this is very common among men his age.

45
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Remember that lawsuit that the Trump administration filed against the

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell, over the cost

47
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: overruns for the new building. Republican Senator Tom tell Us

48
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: of North Carolina said he was not going to confirm

49
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Trump's nominee until he dropped what he considered to be

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: a vindictive and stupid lawsuit. It was vindictive and it

51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: was stupid, and President Trump has now dropped it. Before

52
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: I get to Iran zoron Mam Dami got a lot

53
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: of votes from the far left residence of each village.

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: They gave him a forty point election vote margin. He

55
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: got over seventy percent of their votes, and now they're

56
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: suing him. Why because he wants to put a homeless

57
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: shelter in their neighborhood. Ted Cruz posted this on x

58
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: The news of the lawsuit has prompted conservative mockery online

59
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: with figures like Senator Ted Cruz, noting the irony of

60
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Mam Dami's supporters turning on the fruits of his administration.

61
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: Oops Ted Cruz set in a post on x Michael Hin,

62
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: a former New York AG candidate, said no one is

63
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: more not in my backyard than white progressives. The community

64
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: voted for Mam Dambi in a landslide, but don't want

65
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 1: to live with the consequences end of quote. The residents

66
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: why am I laughing? Of East Village have joined with

67
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: an organization called Voice to sue Mam Dambie over the

68
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: plan to use a building to house a homeless They

69
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: say the city failed a proper environmental and legal guidelines.

70
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: The lawsuit says, quote, it challenges the cities hastily made

71
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: and legally invalid decision to locate a new citywide homeless

72
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: adult male intake center at eight East third Street without

73
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: following any of the legal requirements that must precede such

74
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: a significant and consequential decision. End of quote. What did

75
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: you think was going happen? And wait until he freezes

76
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,559
Speaker 1: the rent on some two million residents in New York City.

77
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: What do you see what that does to the cost

78
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: of rent in New York City. What do you see

79
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: what that does to creating a disincentive to build more

80
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: housing in New York City? How did you vote for

81
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: this clown? Because he's got a nice smile, because he

82
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: seems warm and friendly and relaxed. Because he said, and

83
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing, we're going to embrace the warm cocoon of

84
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: socialism rather than the cold, harsh, rugged individualism of capitalism.

85
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: What did you think was going to happen? What do

86
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: you think made in New York City? Marxist socialists? People

87
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: engaging in activity in order to make a profit. Profit

88
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: has become a four lettered word with people like Mamdami,

89
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: who has a by the way, multi million dollars spread

90
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: in Uganda that he has on airbnbach you check it out.

91
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Far as I know, there's no freeze on what he's

92
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: charging people for brinting out that palatial complex. What did

93
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: you think was going to happen? Same thing out here

94
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: with California, the lawmakers, in their infinite wisdom, passed the

95
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: law boosting the wages of fast food workers to twenty

96
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: bucks an hour, a substantial increase over what they were

97
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: getting before the day that Gavin Newsom signed the bill

98
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: months before it went into effect. Pizza Hunt laid off

99
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: twelve hundred drivers that day, just like that boom, twelve

100
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: hundred drivers lost their jobs. That seems to me if

101
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: I'm one of these left wing lawmakers, either in the

102
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: state Senate or the state Assembly, that signed this bill

103
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: and voted for this bill, it might have said to myself, Wow,

104
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we went too far. Fast forward study by

105
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: the way from research at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

106
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: Higher menu prices, less hourly work, more automation detailed in

107
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 1: a report. By the way, there's another report from Beacon

108
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Economics working paper from UC Berkeley. Quote headline, economists warned

109
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: California not to raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars.

110
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: They were wrong in almost every way. Another economist said, so,

111
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: it's been my experience, having talked about the minimum wage

112
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: for decades. No matter what happens, there will be some

113
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: economists coming up with a study that says just the opposite.

114
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Use common sense. My father,

115
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: as you know, had a cafe near downtown in la

116
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: and because he was a small outfit, the minimum wage

117
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: hikes did not affect vactim at least not directly. But

118
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: when you raise the minimum wage, it puts pressure on

119
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: the exempt companies to increase the minimum wage because they

120
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: won't be able to get workers. So even though my father,

121
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: because of the number of work as he had, which

122
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: is below the level, was not affected at least not directly,

123
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: he had to raise his wages to attract people because

124
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: otherwise it goes somewhere else. And what did he do

125
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: to offset that increased Because labor is about fifty percent

126
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: of the cost when you're running a restaurant, as it

127
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: is when you're running most businesses, he increased their prices.

128
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: And when he increase the prices, what happened sales fell

129
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: off at least for a period of time before they

130
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: came back. Common sense. If somebody is forcing you to

131
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: increase the cost of labor, you got to make it

132
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: up some other way. Profit margins are very very thin

133
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: in the fast food business, and the average person who

134
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: owns a fast food outlet is not somebody that has ten,

135
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty of them. It's mom and pop with

136
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: one or maybe two, and their margins are very thin,

137
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: and they're not working forty hours a week they're working

138
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: sixty or eighty hours a week. So all you're doing

139
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: is creating an incentive not to hire, or to delay

140
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: a hiring decision, or to cut hours, to raise the

141
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: prices of the menu, which will disapport disapportionately affect poor

142
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: people and people on fixed income. That's what you've done.

143
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: So that's what the U SEE Berkeley studies said. None

144
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: of that stuff happened. Santa Cruz study said the opposite

145
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: driven higher menu prices. Have you noticed that? Less hourly work?

146
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: Have you noticed that? And a greater incentive for more automation,

147
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: the economist said. California lawmakers have continued to push ahead

148
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: with wage increases throughout the state, even though this has

149
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: been the result. Mayor Karen bass Is mandating that airport

150
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: and hotel workers hourly wages be increased to thirty dollars

151
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: by twenty twenty eight. What do you think that will do?

152
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: Yet you still pull the lever for these brain dead

153
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: people who've never even so much as run a hot

154
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: dog stand. We'll talk about Operation Epic Fury and where

155
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: it stands we come back. Triple eight ninety seventy one

158
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: is shaping the way your student learns. Artificial intelligence is

159
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: changing education faster than most schools are willing to admit,

160
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: and many families are rightly concerned. At Patrick Henry College,

161
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: the goal isn't to outsource thinking to machines. It's to

162
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: train students to think for themselves. PHC emphasizes a Christian

163
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 1: liberal arts education that develops reasoning, writing, speaking, and discernment

164
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: skills no algorithm can replace. Students learn to engage technology wisely,

165
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: understanding its capabilities but also its danger and limitations, rather

166
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: than becoming dependent on it. In a world increasingly shaped

167
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: by AI, Patrick Henry College prepares students to lead with wisdom, conviction,

168
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: and moral clarity. If you want a college that prepares

169
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: your child to lead in an AI driven world without

170
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: losing his or her faith and values, I encourage you

Speaker 1: O The Show. Professor Er, how are you, sir?

184
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Now much yourself?

185
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: Leady, I'm doing well.

186
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: Thank you, well, good good. I just want to commend

187
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: your friend Mark. We're all he's willing to call and

188
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: take an intellectual beating the way he does, uh, especially

189
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: after his last call. I want him to know I'm

190
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 3: waiting to hear what he has to say after uh

191
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: making that comment about Israel committee genocide. You quoted that study.

192
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 4: And we haven't heard that.

193
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 3: But I do want to commend him for his continued efforts.

194
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 3: And I believe he's going to be another Alan Durshuit

195
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 3: well finally smartened up.

196
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's just a matter of time. I

197
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: can tell his knees of getting wobbly if you weren't

198
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: listening what Sam is referring to as an exchange I

199
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: had with our friend Mark where I told him that

200
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: the majority of Palestinians support AMAS and support the atrocity

201
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: that happened on October the seventh. He said he didn't

202
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: believe that was true, and I said, well, we're making

203
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: some progress, Mark, so if I can prove to you

204
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: that it is true, will you change your mind? And

205
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: he said he would, and read in polls showing that

206
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: the majority of Palestinians we're talking about people living in

207
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: Gaza and in the West Bank support Hamas. Majority of

208
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: Palestinian support what happened on October the seventh, and then

209
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: I quoted him the charter from Hamas, which he admitted

210
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: he had not read. It was from nineteen eighty eight.

211
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: They revised it a few years later and watered down

212
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: the language a little bit, but the intent is still

213
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: the same, and talked about killing Jews, not just the

214
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: ones in Israel, all over the world. So this is

215
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with. And I think a lot of

216
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: people like Mark. And Mark is not an idiot, He's

217
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: a very intelligent guy. And the reason I know he's

218
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: intelligent is because he listened to the show, and smart

219
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: people who want their have their ideas challenged listen to

220
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: programs where people say things with which they disagree, because

221
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: an idea is like a tea bag best challenged in

222
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: hot water. And the fact that Mark is a regular

223
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: listen to the show tells me that he's concerned about

224
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: making sure his ideas can withstand scrutiny. A lot of

225
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: people don't have the nerve to do that. It's difficult

226
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: having ideas challenged. It's difficult when I watch CNN, which

227
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: I do regularly so you don't have to. It's difficult

228
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: when I watch msnb HA, which I do so you

229
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: don't have to. It's difficult when I listen to NPR

230
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: so you don't have to. It's tough hearing nonsense. It's

231
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: tough hearing somebody talk about how we need to have

232
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: them mental ways because it's just social justice. You're busting

233
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: your butt running a business with a very thin margin,

234
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: and some person comes along who's never run a business,

235
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: who's a social justice warrior, telling you, essentially that you're

236
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: underpaying your workers. If I'm underpaying my workers, how am

237
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: I getting workers, and how am I keeping them if

238
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm underpaying them? The whole thing is an ufront. Getting

239
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: back to this study real quick, before you get to

240
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: a ram. You know, this study UC Berkeley says that

241
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: everything that people said was going to happen after that

242
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: law was passed didn't happen. People didn't lose jobs, people

243
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: didn't lose hours. And then you have studies, at least

244
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: two of them that said ten thousand jobs for a loss.

245
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: One of them said twelve thousand jobs for a loss.

246
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: How is it that you can have a study that

247
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: says no job or loss in the one that says

248
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: ten thousand. How can that be? For the Santa Cruz study,

249
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: researchers interviewed business owners and managers of more than one

250
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: hundred fast food franchises throughout California. They looked at their

251
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: business and financial hiring records. They interviewed owners of three

252
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: independent restaurants to learn the impact of the men wage

253
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: on their daily operations. Quote here's the researcher based on

254
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: what we found. I think this legislation is a classic

255
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: case of no good deed goes unpunished. There are unintended

256
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: consequences and knock on effects, and overall, I think the

257
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: results have definitely not been as positive as policy makers

258
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: had been expecting. End of quote. When my good friends

259
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: Ron Salisbury owned a number of restaurants in California, including

260
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: the Elcholo franchise, and talk to me about what happened

261
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: when they raise a men and wage prices, what it

262
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: does to hours, what it does to his hiring decisions.

263
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: Some years ago, the then mayor of la was contemplating

264
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: raising the minimum wage, so he invited a bunch of

265
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: small business owners to come into his office and discuss this.

266
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: And someone called me who attended that meeting. I wasn't there,

267
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: and he said, we all brought our p and ls

268
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: or profit and law statements. And by the way, the

269
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: then mayor had attended the London School of Economics. He

270
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: studied humanities or something, I forget what it was. He

271
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: didn't study economics, but you'd think maybe he might pick

272
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: up something by osmosis, but apparently he didn't. So we

273
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: all told him how thin our profit margins are, how

274
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: competitive the business is, that labor costs or roughly half

275
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: of our cost and he listened, and he stood up

276
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: button its coast and said, I think you can absorb

277
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: the increase, and he walked out. After my knowledge, he's

278
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: never run a hot dog stand. Maybe eliminates that when

279
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: he was a little kid. But I don't know. I'll

280
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: put somebody on that and find out. These people are amazing.

281
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: It's all our mom done. I want to freeze rents.

282
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: What do you think it does for somebody who's a builder.

283
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: When I was running for governor, I met a number

284
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: of builders contractors. Many of them were building in Utah,

285
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: building in Nevada, not building in California because it takes

286
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: too long. And then they have all sorts of rules

287
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: in regulations, including making you build low cost housing in

288
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: the same building. What does that that even mean? The

289
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: environmental regulations, environmental impact statement that you have to do

290
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: because of the environmental extremists here in California, all of

291
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: which jack's up the cost of housing to the point

292
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: where we're paying double the cost of housing compared to

293
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: the average price of a home in America double and Leohanian,

294
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: the economists at UCLA has done a lot on real

295
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: estate says in California, because of the earthquakes, the average

296
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: price of a home should be about ten to fifteen

297
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: percent higher, no higher without double. And these people never

298
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: sit down, never talk to anybody with whom they disagree,

299
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: and to open their eyes to say, maybe, just maybe

300
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: we got this wrong. The only person who said that

301
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: of the Democrat candidate for governor the prominent ones was

302
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: a two term mayor of La Antonio vi Rigoso, who

303
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: said publicly the affordability problem we have in California is

304
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: because of us Democrats. We need to rethink our direction.

305
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: And he wasn't one of the ones invited to debate

306
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. That's too bad. The only

307
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: one up there who's willing to say, maybe, just maybe

308
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: we got that wrong. Triple eight nine seven one s

00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,719
Speaker 1: nine seven one s A G E. Triple eight nine

312
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: seven one seven two three. I am Larry Elder. We

313
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: are Salem News Channel. We're going to talk about the

314
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: state of Operation Epic Fury in just a few minutes.

315
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: One word thing about the minimum wage increase. Zoron Mamdami

316
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: wants to increase the minimum wage to thirty dollars in

317
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: New York. The current is seventeen. I already told you

318
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: what happened here in California when the legislature and the

319
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: governor signed an increase for the minimum wage for fast

320
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: food workers. AOC, as you know, was a waiter or

321
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: bartender at a restaurant in New York called the Coffee House,

322
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: which was depicted in Sex and the City. And it

323
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: closed and the co owner said one of the reasons

324
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: was the increase in the minimum wage law. So the

325
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: very place where AOC worked, because of policies that she

326
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: and her party pursue, caused that very restaurant to be closed.

327
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: Did any of the Democrats say, you know what, maybe

328
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: maybe we should ask people who run businesses what they think.

329
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: Maybe we should ask people who run businesses how they're

330
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: being hurt by the kinds of things we're doing. The

331
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy two Democrat candidate for president was George McGovern

332
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: was incented for a long time and when he retired

333
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: he bought an inn, bed and breakfast in in New England.

334
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: Always wanted to one of his dreams, got the best

335
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: people to consult with him, and bought it bust. And

336
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: one of the reason it went bust, he said, was

337
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: because of all the rules and regulations he was forced

338
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: to abide by, many of which he didn't think were valid,

339
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: and wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal, and

340
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: he said something to the effect of, I only wish

341
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: I had known more about how the private businesses are

342
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: really run. I only wish I'd had real private business experience.

343
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: I would have had a greater appreciation for the effect

344
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: that the kinds of things we do in DC have

345
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: on people who simply trying to make a profit by

346
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: running a business. Hello, is this thing on Triple eight

347
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: nine seventy one, sag Mike is in Clearwater, Florida. Mike.

348
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: Always nice to.

349
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 5: Hear from you, Larry, How are you, sir?

350
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm well.

351
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 5: So here's the thing. I think a lot of our

352
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 5: problems stem with the fact that our justice system is

353
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 5: not fair, is not honest. People that shouldn't go to

354
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 5: jail end up going to jail. People that need to

355
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 5: go to jail. I don't end up going to jail.

356
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 5: You know. Look, let's go far back in the eighties,

357
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 5: Iran Contra. Last time I checked, nobody went to jail

358
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 5: for that, and they probably got maybe probation or a

359
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 5: slap on the wrist. Now, Larry, what do you think

360
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 5: would have happened if you or I sold arms to

361
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 5: the Iranians and turned around and gave the money to

362
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 5: some we would be under the jail. Okay, not in

363
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 5: the jail, but under the jail. I don't know, Larry.

364
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 5: I think where it's really bad because even with the

365
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 5: Epstein files, they released them. But I gotta tell you, Larry,

366
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 5: I don't think we've been given the whole set of files.

367
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of information that they're going

368
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 5: to keep close to their chest.

369
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: I think I think you're right about Iran contra. If

370
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: I recall there were some people that were prosecuted, I'll

371
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: check it out. That was some time ago in the eighties.

372
00:23:52,320 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: The the lawfare against President Trump, this ridiculous lossuit that

373
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: Letitia James filed against him, claiming that somehow he bamboozled

374
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: bankers into giving him loans by inflating the value of

375
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: his businesses. Banks have their own appraisers. Banks weren't complaining,

376
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 1: banks didn't say said they weren't cheated. In fact, they

377
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: got their money back principal plus interest, and said they

378
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: would do business against him again. Yet she ends up

379
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: getting a judgment. I think with penalties now it's almost

380
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars. It's ridiculous. And then and by

381
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: the way, she ran promising to get Donald Trump, which

382
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: is the opposite of what a prosecutor is supposed to do.

383
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: A prosecutor supposed to do justice, not get people. Alvin

384
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: Bragg same thing, brought some cockamami criminal charge against Trump

385
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: for calling the payments to Stormy Daniels a campaign expense.

386
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: The so called dossier that Hillary and the DNC paid

387
00:24:54,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: for was described as a campaign expense. Nobody got prosecuted.

388
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: And then the documents charged against President Trump for allegedly

389
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: having documents he shouldn't have when Joe Biden had more

390
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: documents in more places, and because at the time he

391
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: had never been president, didn't have the ability to declassify

392
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: the documents. That one fell apart, and the January sixth

393
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: insurrection investigation that fell apart, and the Fannie Lewis one

394
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: in Georgia fell apart. The whole Russia collusion thing two

395
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: and a half years fell apart. Scientists talk about the

396
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: fine tuning of the universe, but what if it's more

397
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: than just fine tuning. What if it's a cosmic code

398
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: meticulously programmed. Consider this the precise strength of gravity, the

399
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: specific mass of a proton, the exact speed of light.

400
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: Alter any of these by even a hair's breath in

401
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: the universe as we know it, life itself would be impossible.

402
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: We're not talking about a lucky roll of the dice.

403
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: We're talking about conditions so incredibly specific, so perfectly balanced,

404
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: they defy astronomical odds. Is this simply a coincidence or

405
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: is there an underlying design? The Story of Everything invites

426
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: just a new poll California poll Emerson College just released.

427
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: Sixty percent of California voters says Governor Gavin Newsom should

428
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: not run for president in twenty twenty eight. Now, when

429
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: you consider only about a twenty five percent of voters

430
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: in California Republican, that means a boatload of Democrats Independence

431
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: do not want this man to run for governor. His

432
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: overall all approval disapproval rating forty two percent approve forty

433
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: percent disapproval. I said this before Governor Tim Wallas of

434
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota had enough self respect to drop out of his

435
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: race or reelection. After all the fraud was exposed in Minneapolis.

436
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: The fraud in California looks like it's ten times the

437
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: fraud that so far have been uncovered in Minnesota. Did

438
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom have enough self respect to say, you know what,

439
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I have been exposed as an incompetent manager of

440
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: the State of California and competent executive, and maybe I

441
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: ought not run. Maybe I ought not run because California

442
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: has the highest unemployment rate in the nation. Maybe I

443
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: ought not run because California it's losing population. Those leaving

444
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: have significantly higher income than those who are coming, meaning

445
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: the tax base is becoming eroded. Maybe I not run

446
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: because given my policies, the pressure to tryumph force Californias

447
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: to buy evs, gas prices highest in the nation, higher

448
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: than Hawaii where they have to ship in the gasoline.

449
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: Maybe given these schools that used to be rated number

450
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: one in the nation now rate at number forty seven.

451
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: I had my own kid in private school. Maybe I'm

452
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: not the kind of guy that should be leading America.

453
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: And given the fires we've had and the fact that

454
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: there's been the same water infrastructure in California then it

455
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: was when the state was half its size. What does

456
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: that have to do with Gaven Nousen. Well, his fingerprint

457
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: on everything. He's been around so long, eight years mayor

458
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 1: of San Francisco, and he said by the end of

459
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: his second term as the mayor of San Francisco, I

460
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: will solve the homeless problem in my city. Have you

461
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: been to San Francisco? And then for eight years he

462
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: was lieutenant governor and soon it'll be eight years having

463
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: been governor. So this man has been a public figure,

464
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: major public figure for decades. Yet now he wants to

465
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: run for governor, for mayor, excuse me, for president of

466
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: the United States. With a record like that and the

467
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: issues affordability, Are you kidding me again? He's the one

468
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: who signed the bill to increase amenimum way for fast

469
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: food workers, the twenty bucks, and there at least two

470
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: studies showing thousands of fast food workers are no longer working.

471
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: As I said earlier, Pizza Hut laid off twelve hundred

472
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: in one day when he signed the bill months before

473
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: it went into effect. Is what we got here? Tax spend, regulate,

474
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: and of course rich people are not paying quote their

475
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: fair share in taxes. Even the Washington Post recently said

476
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: in an editorial not an op at piece editorial, rich

477
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: people are paying more than their fair share in taxes

478
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: compared to their share of income. They are being overtaxed.

479
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: I didn't say it. The Heritage Foundation didn't say it,

480
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: Fox News didn't say it, Newsmax didn't say it. Washington

481
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: Post does it matter? And regarding the minimum wage one

482
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: more time, there was an editorial, again not op ed piece,

483
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: editorial in the New York Times nineteen eighty seven, headline

484
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: ideal minimum wage zero point zero zero meaning they're ought

485
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: not to be a minimum wage. New York Times made

486
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: all the arguments. Causes people to get laid off, causes

487
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: people with very low skills not to get hired in

488
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: the first place, means you don't get that first job,

489
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: causes hours to be cut New York Times. And then

490
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: fast forward the New York Times endorses now minimum wage.

491
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: Did the laws of physics change? Did econ one on

492
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: one change? No, they changed. And I've told you many

493
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: times about that left wing Trump hating economists named Paul Krugman.

494
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: He won a Nobel Prize. The Nobel Prize had to

495
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: do with free trade. He once wrote disparagingly about the

496
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: minimum wage or about a living wage proposal, which was

497
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: the same thing. He said it was going to cause

498
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: jobs to be lost. Fast forward one eighty, just like

499
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: the New York Times did a one eighty Now all

500
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden he supports minimum wage after having written

501
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: negatively about it. Jonathan Gruber, the MIT proft he was

502
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: a father of Romney Care in Massachusetts and one of

503
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: the authors of Obamacare. He too wrote negatively about the

504
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: minimum wage. As far as I know, he's not done

505
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: a one eighty. Virtually every major economist says that when

506
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: you force by gunpoint labor costs to increase, it's got

507
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: all sorts of negative, unintended consequences. Yet they do it anyway,

508
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: And even some Republicans who should know better, has supported

509
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: a higher minimum wage. Rick Santorum, former Senator, supported a

510
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: higher minimum wage. Republicans ought to know better, but many

511
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: of them still do. Don't know whether it's because it's

512
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: popular or whether it's because they know nothing about economics.

513
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: One o one either way, very very disappointing. The percentage

514
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: of black workers during the Reagan era increased, and during

515
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: the entire eight years with presidency, he never increased the

516
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: minimum wage. There was a minimum wage law that went

517
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: into effect shortly after he became president, but he had

518
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that. But for eight years he

519
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: never raised minimum wage. Unemployment for blacks increased faster than

520
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: for whites for Hispanics than for whites. As I said

521
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: to uh Tavis Smiley when he told me that I

522
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: was wrong, and he would have he would get the

523
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: actual documents on my desk on Monday. That was what

524
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: twelve years ago, mister McConnell. Life, liberty, and the pursuit

525
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: of happiness. Those words weren't written for history books. They're

526
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: written for you. But it's hard to pursue happiness when

527
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: pain is part of everyday life. The Relief Factor was

528
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: created to help people address inflammation and one of the

529
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: most common causes of ongoing aches and pains from aging,

530
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: over exertion, and daily living. It's a one hundred percent

531
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: drug free, research based formula that works through multiple metabolic

532
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: pathways to support comfort and mobility. No prescription, no masking symptoms,

533
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: just relief so you can keep moving forward. I've told

534
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: you about my buddy Tom Avid Golfer. Scratch Golfer wouldn't

535
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: be able to swing freely because of shoulder in back

536
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: pain without Relief Factor. As America celebrates two hundred and

537
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: fifty years of independence, give yourself a chance to reclaim yours.

538
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: Try Relief Factor today for nineteen ninety five relief factor

541
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 5: Hey Larry's distring with the law I saw in law

542
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 5: Proberty Soner has your name.

Speaker 1: E Trip Late nine seven one seven two four three

546
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: IM Larry Elder. We are still in news Channel regarding

547
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: the Southern Poverty Law Center. Chuck Chumor is angry about

548
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: the investigation against them. We're going to talk about that

549
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: later on. We'll talk about Iran top of the Hour,

550
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: and we're also going to talk to doctor Stephen Meyer,

551
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 1: who's featured heavily in the film The Story of Everything,

552
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: which you can get on the Story of Everything dot

553
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: film about the origin of the planet Earth, of life

554
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: on Earth, and of the universe. And the question it

555
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: asks is is there any other way of explaining this

556
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: other than that there is an intelligent design, a creator God.

557
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: By the way, the poll I mentioned newsome forty two

558
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: percent approval of forty percent disapproval. That was from February.

559
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: Now it is thirty three point four percent of voters approving,

560
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: forty two point four disapproving, with nearly a quarter neutral

561
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: or no opinion. So the majority in California don't want

562
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: this dude to run. His poll ratings are probably lower

563
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 1: than he's ever had in his career, and the director

564
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: of the Emerson poll said, quote, the results are not

565
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: too surprising considering given Newsom's approval disapproval rating in this poll,

566
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: which is significantly lower than his forty two to forty

567
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: percent approval disapproval rating in a February poll from Emerson.

568
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: Ind of quote, Now, if you watch the debate, you'll

569
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: know why nobody criticized this man at all. In fact,

570
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: one even praised him, gave him an a for how

571
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: he deals with homelessness. Here's what Steve Hilton said about

572
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: the debate, Number seventeen.

573
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 7: It's incredible these Democrats, they just treat people like fools.

574
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 7: I mean, we can all see it, we will past

575
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 7: it every day, and it's getting worse, not better, even

576
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 7: though they've spent billions and billions and billions of dollars

577
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 7: of our money actually making the problem worse. And the

578
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 7: thing that's struck me about that debate last night, Sean

579
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 7: was that basically, they're all the same as each other,

580
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 7: these Democrats, and all the same as what we've got now,

581
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 7: except in some cases even worse. You look at Tom Steyer,

582
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 7: the billionaire climate fanatic, he's far to the left of Newsom.

583
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 7: He's running around pandering to every leftist activist group, all

584
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 7: the unions. It could get worse, even the Newsom. That's

585
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 7: why we've got to win this year, and I think

586
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 7: we will.

587
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: And when asked what grade would you give Newsom on homelessness?

588
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 1: We have the highest number of homelessness than any other

589
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: state here in California. Xavier Besserah, who was the former

590
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: age here in California also the head of HHS during

591
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: the Biden administration, gave him an a. How in the

592
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: world can you walk around downtown in some neighborhoods in

593
00:38:53,920 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: California and give Gavin Newsom an a for dealing with homelessness?

594
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: Hilton pointed out around thirty billion dollars have been spent

595
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: in order to deal with this problem. It's only gotten

596
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: worse and nobody knows where the money went. Triple eight

597
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: ninety seven one s a ge. So let's get her

598
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: tied up with that subdgo triple eight nine seven one

599

00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 1: Stephen Meyer, who's featured in the documentary The Story of Everything,

607
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: which is a fascinating documentary about the origins of life

608
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: on Earth, the origin of the universe, and whether or

609
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: not you can explain this in any way other than

610
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: that there is an intelligent designer or creator or dare

611
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,160

Speaker 5: Hi.

617
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 9: Larry, you mentioned that there must be California Democrats and

618
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 9: independence who don't want Newsom to run for president, but

619
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 9: many of them may feel that way because he's not

620
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 9: left enough, and they want a more aggressive president candidate

621
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 9: because they've been so hurt by Trump. So I don't

622
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 9: think it's Republican good news.

623
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a very good point. Yeah, maybe

624
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: that's why a quarter of them are neutral with no

625
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: opinion about his job. But yeah, it might be very

626
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: well be the case that Democrats don't like him because

627
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: he's begun to say a few things that sound a

628
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: little more common sentigal, although he still won't say whether

629
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: or not he wants biological man to compete against biological women.

630
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: Phil is in Carson, California. Feel you're on Lariyo to show.

631
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: Hey, Larry, two quick things off Camdon Roka.

632
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 10: I love your music that you put in there.

633
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: Thank you.

634
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 2: That's someone and I haven't talked to you since Sylvia

635
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 2: is your screener.

636
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 1: Oh but.

637
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 3: I heard a commercial from her spire right and he's

638
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 3: going to go to Sacramento and the man the legislators

639
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 3: remove the fuel tax.

640
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah I saw that, did you? Yeah? I saw that

641
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: in the commercial. Here's a guy who's an environmental extremist,

642
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: which is why we have the highest prices because of

643
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: the fuel that we have in California. The Noether State

644
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: has in order to combat climate change, but now he

645
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: wants to eliminate the fuel tax, at least temporarily because

646
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: the prices have gotten so high because the policies that

647
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 1: he's been pursuing.

648
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: Hello, yeah, yeah, isn't this.

649
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 11: For him?

650
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: Wow, it's just beyond them.

651
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like what I said about Zorah mom Downey.

652
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: He's uh gets elected. Seventy percent of the people in

653
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: East Village, New York voted for this guy, and he

654
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: wants to put a homeless shelter in each village, and

655
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: now they're suing him to stop him from doing it.

656
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: This is what you guys voted for. What did you

657
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:36,799
Speaker 1: think was gonna happen? Caroline is in? Is it fell

00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: in California? Yes?

659
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 2: Cling ceiling?

00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: Okay not not f el O.

00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: gonna do for my birthday?

667
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 13: Talk to you?

668
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: Well, the answer is Nina asked me where I wanted

669
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,320
Speaker 1: to go for dinner, and I said, I want to

670
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: go to Carney's. Do you know Carneyes. No, I don't.

671
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 3: Know any place down there. Live up here on the

672
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: high dose.

673
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:23,959
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand. It's a hot dog place, and Nina

674
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't be caught dead there. Somebody might see her. But

675
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: that's where I want to go. If you want to

676
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: go here, you want to go here. You want to

677
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,720
Speaker 1: go here? I said, no, I want to go to Carney's.

678
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: She's Carney's. I said, yeah. Sometimes you just feel like

679
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: a hot dog.

680
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 13: That's great.

681
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 10: That's great, Larry.

682
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 14: You do whatever you want to do.

683
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 3: It's your day.

684
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, you got it, Caroline. Thank you so much

685
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,920
Speaker 1: for the call. I appreciate it. John is in Los Angeles,

686
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: John You' and Larry Old Show.

687
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 4: Larry, how are you doing, buddy?

688
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, sir. How are you all right?

689
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 5: All right?

690
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, long time my listener. All right, So let

691
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: me pass this by you, Larry. President Obama was commander

692
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 4: in chief. The crimes that are speculated occurred as he

693
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 4: was commander in chief. Now we have a new command

694
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 4: chief in Donald J. Trump. Is there a way that

695
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 4: Donald Trump committed referrals to the military for a tribunal

696
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 4: on crimes that Barackona did the Commandican chief.

697
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you thank you for the call. Barack

698
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: Obama is the one that authorized what's called Operation Arctic Frost,

699
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: claiming that the Russians and Donald Trump colluded to get

700
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 1: him elected. Now, it turns out we know this because

701
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: of all the documents that have been disclosed under Trump

702
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: two point zero, that the intelligence community did not believe

703
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: that the Russians were trying to get Donald Trump elected.

704
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: They believe that the Russians were interfearing, no question about that,

705
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: but they were just doing it to so chaos. So

706
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: then no matter what happened, the result would not be

707
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: believed by the American people. And of course nobody thought

708
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's gonna win, particularly Barack Obama. I remember that joke

709
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: he made about, uh, Barack Obama will never be uh,

710
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will never be president. Then lo and behold,

711
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: Donald Trump gets elected president. So what did Obama do?

712
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: Called in the same intelligence officials and had them to

713
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,480
Speaker 1: draft up a new assessment. And this assessment concluded that

714
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: the Russians weren't attempting to get Donald Trump elected. And

715
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: that's now been uncovered and there is an ongoing investigation

716
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: about that. Now whether uh Barack Obama will ever be indicted.

717
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: I doubt it, but wouldn't have even known about this

718
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: had Donald Trump not been re elected again, What this

719
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,439
Speaker 1: man has gone through, it's just absolutely incredible. I don't

720
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: think any public figure, certainly not a presidential figure, has

721
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: ever gone through what this man has gone through. All

722
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: this lawfare, all the two and a half year collusion

723
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 1: Russia BS, the Fawnie Lewis lawsuit, the Jack Smith lawsuit

724
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: about January sixth insurrection, insurrection, bunch of idiots rioted, it

725
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: was stupid, it was wrong, was unlawful, but insurrection. Even

726
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: Mike Pencer ran against him in twenty twenty four, said

727
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump did nothing illegal. Even Mike Pence, I repeat,

728
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: said Donald Trump did nothing illegal. Donald Trump wonted Pence

729
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: did not certify certain states. Pence refused, but Pence did

730
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: not feel that the request slash order was illegal. And

731
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: the idea that there were no shenanigans, which is widely believed.

732
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: I watched CNN all the time, recently said there's no

733
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: evidence whatsoever that there was anything wrong with twenty twenty

734
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I urge you again to watch

735
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: the speech by John eastmanth which is on rumble for

736
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: the American Freedom a Freedom Association, think of what's called

737
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: the AFA. I was there and he described in detail

738
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: shenanigans slash irregularities slash illegalities that took place in places

739
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: like Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. Yet the man has lost

740
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: his license to practice law. When have you heard a

741
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: lawyer losing a license to practice law because of a

742
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 1: legal theory that people don't support. It's just stunning. Thank

743
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: you so much for the call. I appreciate it. Antoinette

744
00:47:53,920 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 1: is in Sunset Beach. Antoinette, always nice to hear from you.

745
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 4: Mutch Start.

746
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 8: Happy birthday, Happy birthday to you, Happy busday. It almost

747
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 8: was President Larry five people Day to.

748
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: Antoinette. Thank you very much for that. Now let's talk

749
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 1: about some of the love that President Trump has been getting.

750
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: This is Al Green promising that Donald Trump will be

751
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: impeached again as soon as the Democrats take over the

752
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: House number twenty four.

753
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 15: There ought to be those among us who are willing

754
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 15: to show and stand and say this is what he

755
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 15: merits for his dastardly deeds done that are contrary to

756
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 15: the Constitution, that are impeachable by virtue of being high

757
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 15: crimes and misdemeanors. Yes, let let's let's let's let the

758
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 15: record show that he was impeached again. He doesn't want

759
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 15: to be impeached, and there are people here who want

760
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 15: to impeach him, but they.

761
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: Don't want to say so. I understand it.

762
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 15: Well, I'm saying so he should be impeached. And I

763
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 15: assure you that when all is said and done, when

764
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 15: the last word is written, after all of this kind

765
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 15: of insidious behavior, when the last word is said and

766
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 15: the last word is written, we the people.

767
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh, he's taking a bold stand coming out for the

768
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: impeachment of Donald Trump. Really, Doctor Stephen Meyer up next

769

Speaker 1: Tell you right now that I believe, I really do

772
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: believe that some who's got a whole on Triple eight

00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,280
Speaker 1: York Times best selling author, including a book called Return

777
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 1: of the God Hypothesis. He earned his pH d from Cambridge.

778
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 1: He is the director of the Center for Science and

779
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: Culture at the Discovery Institute in Seattle, Washington. Please welcome

780
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 1: my guest. He featured in the new documentary called The

781
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:49,240
Speaker 1: Story of Everything. To see it Story of Everything dot film.

782
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the program, Doctor Stephen Meyer, Dr Myer,

783
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: Thank you for taking the time.

784
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 16: It's really nice to be with you. Larry, thank you

785
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 16: for making time now.

786
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: Doctor. I watched the documentary. I was fascinated by rivetted

787
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: by it. But it occurred to me after I watched

788
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: the documentary. The film kind of asked a question, given

789
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: the complexity of life and the universe of things that

790
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: would have to happen in order for their life and

791
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: universe to come to fruition, there have to be some

792
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: sort of intelligent designer or creator or maybe even God.

793
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: My mom grew up on a farm, doctor Meyer, and

794
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: my grandfather had very little, if any education, and we

795
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: were watching the Birth of piglets once in the bar

796
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: and I said, Grandpa, do you believe that there's God?

797
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 1: He said, That's about the only thing that can explain

798
00:51:41,719 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: all this. So it seems to me, you have all

799
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: these scientists, doctor Meyer, with all this education, all these years,

800
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: all this money spent attending an education, and basically many

801
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: of them, according to the documentary, came to the same

802
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: conclusion my grandfather did exactly right.

803
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 16: It's system of common folk who actually work and know

804
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 16: things right. My dad was an engineer and came to

805
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 16: faith late in life after I showed him some of

806
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 16: the an animation of what's going on inside the cell

807
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 16: and the little machinery that the digital code and the

808
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 16: DNA makes, and that that lit the fire for him.

809
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 16: But a lot of people, especially in an agricultural world,

810
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 16: when they know about the process of birth and just

811
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 16: what seeds do and the patterns of the seasons, there's

812
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 16: there's a I think many people throughout the ages have

813
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 16: had the sense that there's a mind behind all this,

814
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 16: and it's kind of it's kind of ironic that the

815
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 16: people with a great deal of education are finally returning

816
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 16: to that conclusion as well.

817
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: Now, doctor, did you always feel this way? Did you

818
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: grow up faith based and came to the conclusion that

819
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: there had to be some sort of interior, some sort

820
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: of intelligent designer through your work as a physicist, or

821
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,879
Speaker 1: did you always feel this way and your work has

822
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 1: confirmed it.

823
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,799
Speaker 16: It's a bit of a combination of the two, in

824
00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 16: that I had a long period of a kind of

825
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 16: existential anxiety about the meaning of life. When I was

826
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 16: a teenager, I was actually deeply depressed and concerned that

827
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 16: I kept asking the question, what's it going to matter

828
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 16: in one hundred years. It didn't seem like there was

829
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 16: anything that had any lasting meaning or value. And eventually

830
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 16: I came to faith, largely through a process of philosophical

831
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 16: deliberation and discovering the message of the Bible. But after

832
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 16: I got out of college and finally settled in my faith,

833
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 16: I started praying for guidance and wanting to do something

834
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 16: to express that faith in a public way. And a

835
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 16: year or two later I attended a conference where scientists

836
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 16: were discussing these big questions of origins, and I was

837
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 16: shocked to find that the theistic scientists, the ones who

838
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 16: believe in God, seemed to have the much better arguments.

839
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 16: And so when I set out for graduate school in Cambridge, England,

840
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 16: I was had become fascinated with the question, especially the

841
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 16: question of the origin of the first life, which is

842
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 16: one of the key things we look at in the film,

843
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 16: but also other big questions about the origin of the

844
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,800
Speaker 16: universe itself. So I was always interested in these questions

845
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 16: to the intersection of science and philosophy, or science and religion,

846
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 16: and the film tells the story of other scientists who

847
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 16: have been similarly fascinated and who, because of recent scientific discoveries,

848
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 16: have been coming back to belief in God, not in

849
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 16: spite of scientific evidence, but because of scientific evidence.

850
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: You talk also in the film about Darwin, who gave

851
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: us a course to the theory of evolution, even he

852
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: essentially said, I'm not quite sure if there isn't an

853
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: intelligent designer that started all of this.

854
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 16: Well, he was candid about the limits of his theory,

855
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,759
Speaker 16: and I wrote. The second book I wrote was called

856
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 16: Darwin's Doubt, and it was about the origin of the

857
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 16: animal forms that arose very abruptly in the fossil record.

858
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 16: So Darwin never repudiated his theory. He believed he had

859
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 16: the right theory, but he acknowledged that there were many

860
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 16: things his theory couldn't explain, and one of those was

861
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 16: the abrupt appearance of new forms of life in the

862
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 16: fossil record. Another which we address in the film is

863
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 16: the presence of systems that have many different parts that

864
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 16: are all integrated, functionally integrated to perform a function. In

865
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 16: Darwin's time, he was painfully aware that he couldn't explain

866
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 16: the origin of the eye. In the film, we look

867
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 16: at little, tiny miniature machines that have been discovered inside

868
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 16: our cells and inside the cells of bacteria, showing that

869
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 16: even these allegedly very simple cells are chalked full with

870
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 16: exquisitely engineered nanotechnology, and in addition, a whole suite of

871
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:55,320
Speaker 16: digital information stored in DNA that builds these miniature machines.

872
00:55:55,360 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 16: So we've got a complex information storage, mission and processing

873
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 16: system that builds exquisite nanotechnology miniature machinery. It's not at

874
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 16: all the simple cell that Darwin thought about in his time.

875
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: Doctor Meyer, my colleague here at Salem, Dennis Prager, just

876
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 1: wrote a book called If there Is No God Dot

877
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: Dot Dot, and the movie, of course explores that. So

878
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: let's take that tech. If there is no God, then

879
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: what therefore, what how do you explain life, explain the universe?

880
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: If there is no God.

881
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,719
Speaker 16: Yeah, we have no explanation for then the origin of

882
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 16: the universe. This is one of the big things we

883
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 16: look at as the evidence now that we have from

884
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 16: astronomy and cosmology that the universe itself had a definite

885
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 16: beginning of finite time ago before which, since the universe

886
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 16: includes all matters space and time and energy, there was

887
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,360
Speaker 16: no matter to do the causing. Or we could say

888
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 16: since time began then independent of which there was no

889
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 16: matter to do the causing. So we have an We

890
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 16: can't really explain the origin of the physical universe. We

891
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 16: can't explain the origin of the information or the code

892
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 16: that we find in life. Bill Gates is that DNA

893
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 16: is like a software program, but much more complex than

894
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 16: any we've ever created. Well, we know that software comes

895
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 16: from a master program, or we know that information, especially

896
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 16: in a digital form as we find it in DNA,

897
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 16: always comes from a mind. So apart from the postulation

898
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 16: of a transcendent mind, we really have no good explanation

899
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 16: for the origin of life either. And then we have

900
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 16: other things like we have no account of the objective

901
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 16: basis of morality, We have no basis for believing that

902
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 16: there's an ultimate meaning to life. Meaning is only something

903
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 16: that is conferred by persons, and yet we all die.

904
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 16: So if there isn't a transcendent person beyond the universe

905
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 16: who is the creator of all things, there's really no

906
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 16: hope of ultimate meaning to human existence, which is one

907
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 16: of the things that many of the scientific atheists themselves discussed,

908
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 16: and the kind of hopelessness of the scientific materialist worldview.

909
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 16: So there are a lot of consequences to the so

910
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 16: called the philosophical what the philosophers called the death of God.

911
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,000
Speaker 16: But what we're showing in the film is that there's

912
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 16: no reason to believe that God is dead. Just the opposite.

913
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 16: We have evidence of of a powerful creative mind behind

914
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 16: the universe.

915
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: Doctor Maer can stick around for one more segment, absolutely

916
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: we come back. You talk about Einstein in the documentary.

917
00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about him and what

Speaker 1: einstein sort of evolution as well. Talk to us about that.

930
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 16: Well, it's a fascinating story. Larry Einstein developed a new

931
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 16: theory of gravity in nineteen fifteen that he realized had

932
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 16: an implication that they didn't really like the theory of gravity.

933
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 16: His theory of gravity was that matter bend's space or

934
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 16: warped space what he called space time. And you realized,

935
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 16: if that was true, and if gravity were to be

936
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 16: the only force operating in the universe, we should live

937
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 16: in a universe where all the matter is bunched together

938
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 16: into one big black hole. But we don't live in

939
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 16: that kind of a universe. We live in the universe

940
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 16: where there's empty space between massive bodies. So he realized

941
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 16: there also had to be an outward pushing force, which

942
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 16: he called the cosmological constant, a constant outward pushing force.

943
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 16: And that was so far, so good. He had to

944
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 16: account for empty space. But then he made a further

945
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 16: move to obscure the implication that he didn't like. The

946
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 16: implication of his theory of gravity was and this outward

947
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 16: pushing forces that the universe is expanding outward from a

948
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,800
Speaker 16: beginning point. But instead, he believed that the universe, the

949
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 16: physical universe, was eternal and self existent. It had always

950
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 16: been here, so it didn't need a creator. And so

951
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 16: he didn't like the idea of the universe having a beginning.

952
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 16: So he fiddled with his equations to make the outward

953
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 16: push and the inward pull of gravity exactly balance, so

954
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 16: he could portray the universe as a static system that

955
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 16: was neither expanding nor contracting, either expanding outward from a

956
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 16: beginning or contracting towards an endpoint. But then, as I

957
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 16: like to say in my book, the heavens talked back,

958
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 16: and an astronomer named Edwin Hubbole discovered that in fact,

959
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 16: the universe is expanding. The galaxies in every direction are

960
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 16: moving away from us. And so in nineteen thirty one,

961
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 16: Einstein actually went out to southern California here to the

962
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 16: here in southern California where I am in near the

963
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 16: Mount Wilson Observatory, And we have some famous newsreel footage

964
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 16: in the film where Einstein is looking through Hubble's telescope

965
01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:22,479
Speaker 16: seeing the evidence of the expanding universe, which implied again

966
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 16: that there was a beginning to everything, And two weeks later,

967
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 16: Einstein gave an interview with the New York Times at

968
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 16: Times in which he said the three hardest words in

969
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 16: the English language, I've us wrong that he acknowledged that

970
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 16: Hummuson and Hubble, the two astronomers, had shown that the

971
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 16: universe was not static and therefore it must have a beginning,

972
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 16: he later. What he actually said later was that his

973
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,760
Speaker 16: fiddling with his own equations to obscure that reality of

974
01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 16: a creation event was the biggest blunder of his life.

975
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Speaking of creation, Dr mariun Let's I missed it. I

976
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: don't believe the documentary said anything about Genesis and its

977
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 1: description of how the universe was created. What is your

978
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: take on genesis and how does that apply to how

979
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: you feel about life and the universe.

980
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 16: That's a great question. One of the scientists that we

981
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 16: examined as far as his work was a man named

982
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,960
Speaker 16: ar No Penzius, and Pensius discovered in the nineteen sixties

983
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 16: something called the cosmic background radiation, which was a very

984
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 16: strong confirmation of what we now call the Big Bang theory,

985
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 16: and Pensius himself, reflecting on that, he won the Nobel Prize,

986
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 16: but reflecting on the evidence that we have for a beginning,

987
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 16: realized that that exactly confirmed the first words of the

988
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,440
Speaker 16: Book of Genesis, which is, in the beginning, God created

989
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 16: the heavens and the earth. For centuries, physicists had been

990
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 16: committed to the idea of an eternal universe that had

991
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 16: no beginning and would have no end, and therefore would

992
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 16: need no external creator. If matter and energy are eternal

993
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 16: and self existent, you don't need to explain where they

994
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,920
Speaker 16: came from. But Pensius realized that we now had evidence

995
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 16: of the beginning, just as the Book of Genesis said,

996
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 16: and so he was quoted as saying that the data

997
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 16: we have, the best data we have, are exactly what

998
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 16: I would have expected if all I had to go

999
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 16: on were the first five books of Moses, including the

1000
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 16: Book of Genesis, of course, and the Bible. That the

1001
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 16: Psalms in the Bible as a whole, so that the

1002
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 16: in the New cosmology, there's a striking confirmation of a

1003
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 16: long standing teaching of the Biblical texts. Right from the

1004
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 16: very first of the first chapter of Genesism.

1005
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: The documentary talks about Mars being the most earthlike planet

1006
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: in our Solar System, yet there's no complex life as

1007
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: we know it, if any on Mars. And you talk

1008
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 1: about how just a few little things going either way

1009
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: would have made Earth like Mars, in which case no life.

1010
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, exactly. There's one of the one of the scholars

1011
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 16: in the in the documentary is Jay Richards, and he's

1012
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,240
Speaker 16: written a book with astronomer Ghirmo Gonzalez called The Privileged Planet,

1013
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 16: in which they document all these amazing parameters that have

1014
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 16: to be just right for our planet to host life.

1015
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 16: We have to have the right axial tilt, the right

1016
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 16: distance from a host's sun, the right mass, the right

1017
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 16: amount of it with the right amount of gravity to

1018
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 16: hold the right gases in place so that we have

1019
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 16: oxygen to breathe. We need a magnetic field to protect

1020
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 16: us from solar radiation. We need the right kind of

1021
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 16: sun to star excuse me, the right kind of moon,

1022
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 16: the right distance away to ensure that we have tides

1023
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 16: that keep the oceans moving and refreshing, and on and

1024
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 16: on and on it goes. So we really are a

1025
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 16: privileged planet. And we're just reading some of the accounts

1026
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 16: of the astronauts, including Victor Glover.

1027
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: Doctor let me borrow you for another segment. If you can,

1028
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: don't go away, Oh yeah, sure, Doctor Stephen Myers. For

1029
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty years, Americans that believed in one

1030
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: powerful idea that we were meant to live free, free

1031
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: to work hard, free to move, free to enjoy life

1032
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: without being held back. But if every day aches and

1033
01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: pain that's slowing you down, it might be time to

1034
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: declare your independence from pain. I've told you about how

1035
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: my brother Kirk had difficulty going up and down the

1036
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:07,919
Speaker 1: stairs in the morning until he followed my advice began

1037
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: taking Relief Factor. Relief Factor is a one hundred percent

1038
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: drug free, research based formula designed to help your body

1039
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: fight inflammation, one of the root causes of pain. It's

1040
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: not a quick fix or a temporary mask. It works

1041
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: from the inside out at the source. Relief Factor was

1042
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,280
Speaker 1: created so people could get back to living life on

1043
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: their terms, walking, working, exercising, and enjoying the moments that matter.

1044
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: This year, if we celebrate two in fifty years of

1045
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,800
Speaker 1: American independence, take a stand for your freedom. Relief Factor

1050
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: News Channel. My guests are doctor Stephen Meyer, direct of

1051
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute

1052
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 1: in Seattle. We're talking about the documentary which he featured,

1053
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 1: called The Story of Everything. You can see it by

1054
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: going to the Story of Everything. Doc film opens up

1055
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: later on this month, Doctor. The Big Bang theory the term,

1056
01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: I think the film said initially the person that came

1057
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: up with the term did it as a derivaive term.

1058
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: Talk to me about that.

1059
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 16: Right, Yeah, This was Sir Fred Hoyle early in his career.

1060
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 16: He was really a strident scientific atheist, and he didn't

1061
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 16: like the idea of the Big Bang because it smacked

1062
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 16: of the Genesis one account, which affirmed that the universe

1063
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 16: had a beginning and so.

1064
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:42,160
Speaker 5: On.

1065
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 16: A BBC interview called it the Big Bang, thinking he

1066
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 16: was stigmatizing the theory with a kind of pejorative term. But

1067
01:06:48,960 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 16: the term stuck, and it's now the term that the

1068
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 16: physicists themselves used to describe the theory. Many people get

1069
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 16: confused about the Big Bang theory, thinking that the scientists

1070
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 16: are saying that the Big Bang caused the universe to

1071
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 16: come into existence, and therefore it's a kind of anti

1072
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,320
Speaker 16: god or anti theistic theory. But the Big Bang doesn't

1073
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,600
Speaker 16: is not a theory about the first cause, but rather

1074
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 16: about the first effect. That there was a beginning to

1075
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 16: the entire universe before which, or independent of which, there

1076
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 16: was no matter or energy there to cause the universe

1077
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 16: to come into existence. So the Big Bang theory raises

1078
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 16: an ultimate question of what caused the universe to come

1079
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 16: into existence, recognizing that it couldn't be matter and energy.

1080
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 16: So the postulation of an immaterial God with a great

1081
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 16: mind and the power of volition ends up being the

1082
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 16: best explanation for the origin of the universe and not

1083
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 16: only confirms the genesis account, but it actually the Big

1084
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 16: Bang theory provides evidence for the existence of God.

1085
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Doctor, when you are asked this question, if the universe

1086
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: was created by an intelligent desire, a creator, who created

1087
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: the creator, how do you answer that? Right?

1088
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 16: It's a famous objection to our thinking or of the

1089
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 16: theory of intelligent design from Richard Dawkins. But here's the

1090
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 16: way I like to look at that. Every philosophical system

1091
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:11,200
Speaker 16: or worldview has to posit something as the what some

1092
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 16: scholars call the prime reality, the thing from which everything

1093
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 16: else comes. Materialists scientific materialists posit that matter and energy

1094
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 16: are the eternal, self existent things from which everything else comes.

1095
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,880
Speaker 16: So they also have, as it were, an unmoved mover,

1096
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 16: a thing that you can't explain in terms of anything

1097
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 16: more more primitive or simple. Theis have long said that

1098
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 16: the thing from which everything comes is the transcendent mind

1099
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 16: of God. And so you have two competing ideas of

1100
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 16: the prime reality. The question is not the question is

1101
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 16: which of those is a bet provides a better explanation

1102
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 16: for what we see. Now that we know that matter

1103
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,080
Speaker 16: and energy, as best we can tell, had a beginning

1104
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 16: of finite time ago. Matter and energy is a bad

1105
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 16: candidate to be the eternal, self existent thing from which

1106
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 16: everything else comes, and instead theism an eternal transcendent mind

1107
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 16: is a much better explanation, in part because we see

1108
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 16: the universe coming into existence a finite time ago, and

1109
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 16: in part because when the universe comes into existence, the

1110
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 16: fundamental parameters of physics are finely tuned to allow for life.

1111
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 16: And as Sir Fred Hoyle himself said when he finally

1112
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 16: came around having discovered many of these fine tuning parameters.

1113
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,799
Speaker 16: He said, a common sense interpretation of the evidence suggests

1114
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 16: that a super intellect is monkeyed with physics to make

1115
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 16: life possible. Fine tuning that, he said, supports a fine tuner.

1116
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 16: So every system has to posit something as the basis

1117
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,679
Speaker 16: of all reality. Theism, I think, posits something that's much

1118
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 16: more consistent with the evidence that we have from cosmology, physics,

1119
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 16: and biology.

1120
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: Doctor meyerd you prefer the term intelligent designer, creator or God.

1121
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 16: Well, my first two books I argued for the existence

1122
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 16: or action of a prior designing intelligence of some unspecified kind.

1123
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 16: I was just looking at the evidence from biology. But

1124
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 16: when you bring the evidence from cosmology and physics in,

1125
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 16: you realize that the evidence for design dates from the

1126
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 16: very beginning of the universe. It's not something that any

1127
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:23,520
Speaker 16: imminent intelligence like a space alien could account for. So really,

1128
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 16: the best explanation of all the evidence we have about

1129
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 16: biological and cosmological origins is a creator with the attributes

1130
01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 16: that traditional theists like Jews and Christians have long ascribed

1131
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 16: to God. So my first books I argued for intelligent design.

1132
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 16: In my last book, Return to the God Hypothesis, I

1133
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 16: argued not only for intelligent design, but the evidence supports

1134
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 16: a designing intelligence with the attributes that we typically associate

1135
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 16: with God.

1136
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 1: Did you change your mind?

1137
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 16: No, I was kind of building to that. I didn't

1138
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 16: want to overstate the case in the early books, and

1139
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 16: knew that from biology alone, I couldn't make the case

1140
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:05,560
Speaker 16: for a full God hypothesis. He really needed the cosmological

1141
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 16: and the physics evidence to complement the biological evidence to

1142
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 16: make the case that God is the designer, because if

1143
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:16,240
Speaker 16: you think about it, life comes into existence along the timeline.

1144
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 16: You know, we say three point eight billion years ago,

1145
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 16: but that'd be about ten billion years after the universe

1146
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 16: came into existence. So it might have been the case

1147
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 16: that there was some sort of intelligence within the universe

1148
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 16: that was responsible for life. But you can't say that

1149
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 16: when you begin to look at the design the fine

1150
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 16: tuning of the universe as a whole. No space alien

1151
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 16: could be responsible for the fine tuning of the laws

1152
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 16: of physics that make its very existence possible.

1153
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 1: Doctor, are we alone? And if the answer is yes,

1154
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: what does that say about it a creator? And if

1155
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,439
Speaker 1: the answer is no, what does that say about a creator?

1156
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,280
Speaker 16: I am completely agnostic on that topic. I don't know

1157
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:55,639
Speaker 16: one way or another. But what I do know, and

1158
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 16: what I'm confident of, is that if there is life

1159
01:11:58,280 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 16: in the universe, it too is the product of an

1160
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,519
Speaker 16: intelligent design. All the different factors that have to go

1161
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 16: into making a life friendly universe, then a life friendly

1162
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,719
Speaker 16: solar system, which we were talking about before the last break,

1163
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 16: and especially the factors that have to be just right

1164
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 16: to make the information that's necessary to build a living cell,

1165
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 16: those things all suggest the need for intelligence. This isn't

1166
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 16: going to happen by undirected material processes. Irrespective of how

1167
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 16: many planets there might be out there in the universe

1168
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 16: that might be roughly life friendly, getting from a life

1169
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 16: friendly planet to an actual living organism is still a

1170
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 16: big jump that requires intelligent intervention.

1171
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Well, if you're still good to go, I'd like to

1172
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 1: borrow you for another segment. I want to ask you

1173
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,040
Speaker 1: about what your fellow scientists feel. Are they theists, are

1174
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: they agnostic or are they atheists? How do most physicists

1184
01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: Jewish friends feel forgotten. There's a Jewish woman named Esther

1185
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk to you about in her home

1186
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: in Israel. Esther is living through days and nights of fear,

Speaker 1: Sirens sounding, rockets, screaming through the sky, long stretches spin

1188
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 1: in a bomb shelter. Eighty four years old, Esther is elderly,

1189
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: fragile and alone. Imagine that no help, no food deliveries,

1190
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: no medical care, no one knocking at the door in

1191
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: a war zone. But because of friends like you, Esther

1192
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 1: is not alone. Through the Fellowship, you are there, bringing food,

1193

1211
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 1: your colleagues, other scientists, geophysicist, astronomers, cosmologists. Are they believers?

1212

Speaker 1: Are they agnostic? Are they atheists? What would you say?

1213
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 16: Well, scientists, like everyone, are people, and they have competing

1214
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 16: or they hold different worldviews or personal philosophies. But what

1215
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 16: the story of the Story of Everything is essentially the

1216
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 16: story of many very prominent scientists who have been coming

1217
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 16: back to belief in God because of not in spite

1218
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 16: of the scientific evidence, particularly evidence about the origin of

1219
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 16: the universe and the origin of life. One of the

1220
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 16: scientists whose story is told in the film is a

1221
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 16: great cosmologist and astronomer named Alan Sandige, who was here

1222
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 16: in southern California at the Mount Wilson Observatory. He was

1223
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 16: a long he was a hard bitten scientific materialist for

1224
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 16: a long time. But I heard him speak at a

1225
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 16: conference early in my career where he announced that he

1226
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,560
Speaker 16: had a religious conversion fact to Christianity, and then he

1227
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 16: went on to explain the evidence. In his talk, he

1228
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 16: told them about all the evidence for the beginning of

1229
01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 16: the universe for a creation event, and there's a memorable

1230
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 16: clip from that talk in the film where he says,

1231
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 16: here is evidence for what could only be described as

1232
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 16: a supernatural event. There's no way this could have been

1233
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 16: predicted or for that matter, explained within the framework of physics.

1234
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,479
Speaker 16: You only get physics after you have a physical universe,

1235
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:25,839
Speaker 16: and if the physical universe comes into existence at the beginning,

1236
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 16: you need some other kind of cause to account for that.

1237
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 16: And he ultimately concluded the best explanation the best causal

1238
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 16: explanation for the origin of the universe was what I

1239
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 16: call the God hypothesis. And we tell the stories of

1240
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 16: a number of prominent scientists who have had that same

1241
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 16: trajectory in their development of faith as a result of

1242
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 16: scientific discoveries. So the story is telling this. The film

1243
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 16: is telling the story of scientists who are reconsidering the

1244
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 16: existence of God based on scientific discoveries about the origin

1245
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:55,879
Speaker 16: of life in the universe.

1246
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: Doctor, what happens to us after we die?

1247
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 16: Well, I'm a believing Christian myself, and therefore I believe

1248
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 16: in the possibility of eternal life has promised in the scripture.

1249
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 16: There's no possibility of that if there is, if this

1250
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 16: material universe is all that exists, and this is something

1251
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 16: that the scientific materialists in the beginning of our film

1252
01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 16: spell out. Richard Dawkins is very clear, he says, when

1253
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 16: asked by Peers Morgan, what happens when you die? He says, well,

1254
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 16: I'm either buried or or I'm cremated. There's just nothing.

1255
01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:28,680
Speaker 16: There's nothing else. And I think that is a very

1256
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 16: hopeless philosophy that many of our young people have been

1257
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 16: exposed to in science and philosophy classes. In university, and

1258
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 16: I think it's led led to a kind of cultural

1259
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 16: nihilism where people really have a feeling of hopelessness. And

1260
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 16: I think one of the subtexts of this film is

1261
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 16: that that's not what the science is pointing to. The

1262
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 16: science is pointing to a transcendent personal God. And nothing

1263
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 16: can mean anything to a rock or an atom or

1264
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 16: a DNA molecule. Things only mean things to person. So

1265
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:58,200
Speaker 16: if there is a transcendent personal God, the question of

1266
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 16: meaning is back on the table, and there is doctor Meyer.

1267
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: Thank you somebody for taking the time. I took up

1268
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 1: a whole hour of your life. I appreciate it. The

1269
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 1: Story of Everything Dot Film opens April thirty through May

1270
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: sixth The Story of Everything Dot Film, Dr Myers, thank

1271
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: you somebody for taking the time.

1272
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 16: Fascinating, Thank you, Thank you for having me on and

1273
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:15,959
Speaker 16: for the extended conversation.

1274
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: You got it.

1275
01:18:21,479 --> 01:18:31,719
Speaker 15: So let's get her teed up to that subdig.

1276
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one s A G E. Triple

1277
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four three. I am

1278
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 1: Larry Elder. We are sale of news Channel. Let's turn

1279
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: our attention to the war against Iran, shall we There's

1280
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: a host of a program called the Iran Breakdown. He's

1281
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 1: CEO of Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Name is

1282
01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 1: Mark Dubabit Dubabits. Here's what he wrote. If you told

1283
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 1: me a few years ago this is where we'd be

1284
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: on Iran, I'd just said you were high. Number one

1285
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: nuke program set back years, enrichment and reprocessing, gut it

1286
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 1: weaponization sites destroyed, four to doer inoperable, the tant In Ruins,

1287
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:29,639
Speaker 1: a generation of senior nuclear scientists eliminated. Number two ballistic

1288
01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: missile program crippled, monthly production down from one hundred to

1289
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:39,600
Speaker 1: nearly zero. Roughly half the regime's missiles and launchers destroyed.

1290
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 1: The IRGC Aerospace Force commander who ran the missile enterprise dead.

1291
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 1: Number three air defenses devastated American and Israeli air power,

1292
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: dominating Iranian skies with strike aircraft operating over the country

1293
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: with near impunity. Number four full economic warfare, not just

1294
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: sanctions but military pressure laid on top naval blockade. Near

1295
01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:16,759
Speaker 1: zero oil exports, choked imports, wrecked steel and petrochemical sectors,

1296
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Triple digit inflation, and a currency that is effectively worthless.

1297
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: Number five regime decapitation Hamiani dead, Larijani dead, hundreds of

1298
01:20:30,200 --> 01:20:35,640
Speaker 1: senior IRGC intelligence, military, and besieged commanders dead, including the

1299
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: IRGC Commander in chief, the Armed Forces of the Chief

1300
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: of Staff, the Aerospace Force commander, the younger Homione inheriting

1301
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: a hollowed out regime with no supreme authority and a

1302
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: gutted command structure. Number six. The region is turning on Iran,

1303
01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,200
Speaker 1: Gulf states shutting down the sanctions, busting money laundering and

1304
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: financial escape routes the regime has relied on for years.

1305
01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: No Arab capital willing to throw Iran a lifeline. China

1306
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:11,879
Speaker 1: and Russia providing limited support. Number seven Proxy network shattered,

1307
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: Hezbolah and Hamas heavily degraded, Whothy and political leadership taking

1308
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: direct Israelis strikes, the access of resistance and the ring

1309
01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: of fire are now more slogans than they are real threats.

1310
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 1: Syrian corridor severed ASAD is gone. The new government in

1311
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Damascus is actively blocking Iranian arms to Hesbela, arresting smugglers

1312
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: and publicly declaring Syria will no longer serve as a

1313
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:45,680
Speaker 1: transit corridor for Iran's terraces. The land bridge to the

1314
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 1: Mediterranean that took decades to build is effectively closed. Lebanon

1315
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: pivoting west. With Hesbola battered and supply choked, Israel and

1316
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: Lebanon have opened direct peace talks for the first time

1317
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty three, aimed at a permanent agreement with

1318
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:13,719
Speaker 1: Hesbela's disarmament. Beirut now asserting that the Lebanese armed forces

1319
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: alone are responsible for national defense. This is a direct

1320
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 1: repudiation of Hebela's resistance claim. Speaking of Lebanon, this is

1321
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: the Lebanon ambassador to the United States about President Trump.

1322
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Number twenty.

1323
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 17: Thank you so much, President Trump.

1324
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 4: Thank you for your leadership for making sure to be

1325
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 4: presiding over this historic moment.

1326
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 17: I want to really say thank you to.

1327
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 18: The United States, under your leadership, for all your efforts

1328
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 18: to help and to support Lebanon.

1329
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 1: And I think with your help, with your support.

1330
01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 14: We can make Lebanon great again.

1331
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 11: Thank you so much, sir, Thank you.

1332
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:55,799
Speaker 1: We can make Lebanon great again. Number ten The Terrence

1333
01:22:56,120 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: the integration of Ai de Terrence exposed as a bluff.

1334
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: Four direct attacks on Israel April twenty four, October twenty four,

1335
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: June twenty five, March twenty six, failed to impose a

1336
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: strategic cost and instead triggered heavy retaliation. Iran couldn't even

1337
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: use Syria as a launch pad. Next, economy hallowed out

1338
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: from within, power shortages, water crises, factory shutdowns, pension unrest,

1339
01:23:31,840 --> 01:23:37,719
Speaker 1: and mass protests. Nationwide demonstrations erupted in December twenty twenty

1340
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 1: five after a year of economic freefall. Oil workers, truckers,

1341
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: regimes traditional support joining strikes across all thirty one provinces,

1342
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:53,759
Speaker 1: running out of oil storage, space, fuel shortages, the worst

1343
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: crisis since nineteen seventy nine. Scientific and technical brain drain.

1344
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: Beyond the nuclear experts, Iran has lost a generation of

1345
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:08,920
Speaker 1: irreplaceable expertise in missile design, centrifuge engineering, and weapons development.

1346
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: The survivors are harder to recruit and easier to deter.

1347
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:20,879
Speaker 1: Naval power decimated, the regular army shattered, IRGC Navy tanking

1348
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: taking growing losses as Syncom moves to reopen her most

1349
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 1: which we're going to talk about in just a second.

1350
01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,559
Speaker 1: And against all of this, the regime forced to play

1351
01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: its hermus card at its weakest possible moment, when the

1352
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: US has options instead of win. This is the strategic picture.

1353
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: It's extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary. Now about the strait. This is

1354
01:24:57,400 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: a national security analyst with a think tank called Lectington Institute.

1355
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,559
Speaker 1: Her name is Rebecca Grant. Number twenty five.

1356
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,719
Speaker 19: Into Operation Epicuri, where President Trump has issued a shoot

1357
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,280
Speaker 19: and kill order, writing on truth social quote, I have

1358
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 19: ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any

1359
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,640
Speaker 19: boat that is putting mines in the waters of the

1360
01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 19: Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation. Additionally,

1361
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 19: our mind sweepers are clearing the strait right now. I'm

1362
01:25:24,400 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 19: here by ordering that activity to continue, but at a

1363
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 19: tripled up level and depending on posting a new video

1364
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,599
Speaker 19: of US troops seizing another ship carrying Iranian oil. National

1365
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 19: security and military analyst and international relations expert Rebecca Grant

1366
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 19: joins me. Now, Rebecca, thanks for coming on to talk

1367
01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,600
Speaker 19: about this with us this morning. You know, first, I

1368
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 19: just want your reaction to this shoot and kill order.

1369
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:50,040
Speaker 12: A lethal force is absolutely appropriate. And notice that President

1370
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 12: Trump really focused on any attempt by Iran's fast boats

1371
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 12: to put mines out in the strait. Right now, we

1372
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 12: have a couple clear shipping channels that are US US

1373
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 12: Navy destroyers have ready to go, so we don't want

1374
01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 12: to see more activity. Iran's IRGC Navy remnants are acting

1375
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 12: like pirates. But I'm telling you they've only seen a

1376
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 12: glimpse of what the US Navy could do. Us IS

1377
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 12: can control that straight, and the US needs to keep

1378
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 12: that control of the straight.

1379
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 19: Do you think this is the pressure that Iran needs

1380
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 19: to face from the President to Cavan and be like,

1381
01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 19: we can't do this anymore.

1382
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:29,760
Speaker 12: You know, it's a brilliant move because with the blockade,

1383
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 12: President Trump can dial up or dial down the pressure.

1384
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 12: The US Navy can continue this blockade as long as necessary.

1385
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:41,799
Speaker 12: And it's amazing seeing the intercept of that Iran shadow

1386
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 12: Fleet tanker in the Indian Ocean. Okay, that's out in

1387
01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 12: indopaycom Admiral Paparo's command, and so that tells us that

1388
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 12: Iran shadow Fleet is a target anywhere they are. That's

1389
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,400
Speaker 12: a great message to China and it really does lock

1390
01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 12: down the pressure on Iran. They have no options at

1391
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 12: this point and they are going to have to negotiate

1392
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 12: one way or the other.

1393
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 19: Do you foresee this coming to an end anytime soon?

1394
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:09,760
Speaker 19: We'll get to China in a second. But you know,

1395
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 19: for all the people out there who didn't want to

1396
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 19: see this happen in the first place, and now it's

1397
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 19: dragging on into the second and third month. I mean,

1398
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,120
Speaker 19: what do you think. Do you think this is close

1399
01:27:19,160 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 19: to being over? It's going to take some time.

1400
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 12: President Trump says, give them the time and the space

1401
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 12: to make the best deal. And the point here is

1402
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 12: we still want the nuclear fuel, nuclear dust accounted for

1403
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 12: and all the provisions to make sure I Ran can

1404
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,080
Speaker 12: never be a thread again and never be on that

1405
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 12: path way to a nuclear weapon. It's going to take

1406
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 12: a little more time. But this blockade pressure is another

1407
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 12: key pressure point on Iran.

1408
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: Senator lizlie Graham number eighteen.

1409
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:50,720
Speaker 5: We can enforce that.

1410
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 3: That's one way to do it.

1411
01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 16: Maybe you go get it.

1412
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 20: But the bottom line here is that this war, by

1413
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,520
Speaker 20: any reasonable measure, has been a disaster for the capabilities

1414
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 20: of the Racians to produce a nucle weapon, to terrorize

1415
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 20: the region and to support terrorism. They have been hit

1416
01:28:07,160 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 20: hard in every way possible, and quite frankly, when it

1417
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,120
Speaker 20: comes to their economy. The worst is yet to come

1418
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 20: for Iran. Wherever you're at carrying an Iranian ol, you

1419
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:19,799
Speaker 20: may be in Asia.

1420
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 1: The nation have now been I think five attempts by

1421
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,320
Speaker 1: the Democrats to call the Iranian war an illegal war.

1422
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: Number nineteen is Senator Chris van Holland from Maryland.

1423
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:39,400
Speaker 20: But they didn't and so I'm not gonna support.

1424
01:28:39,479 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 18: I'm not voting for one time for this illegal war

1425
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 18: that Donald Trump started.

1426
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 1: Barack Obama joined the Brits and the French bombing Iran,

1427
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: bombing Libya, brother for seven months, did not go to

1428
01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: Congress for approval. More on the Iran war, we come back.

1429
01:28:56,880 --> 01:29:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm Larry over triple late night seven one sage Triple

1430
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 1: eight Night seven one seven two four to three. I

1431
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,680
Speaker 1: am Larry Yelda, we are staleing the nowschannel. This is

1432
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:14,719
Speaker 1: the former Deputy Syncom Commander, Vice Admiral Mark number twenty six.

1433
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 13: President Trump has authorized the United States Navy to destroy

1434
01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 13: any Iranian fast boats that attempt to put mines in

1435
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 13: the water or disrupt passage through the Strait of Hormones,

1436
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:32,440
Speaker 13: to shoot and kill. Our commanders have clear rules of engagement.

1437
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:35,679
Speaker 13: If Iran is putting mines in the water or otherwise

1438
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 13: threatening American commercial shipping or American forces, we will shoot

1439
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 13: to destroy.

1440
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:41,560
Speaker 1: No hesitation.

1441
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,400
Speaker 2: Vice Admiral I sometimes forget just how big Iron is.

1442
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:46,879
Speaker 1: It's basically the size of Alaska.

1443
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 2: It's got a huge coastline.

1444
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:50,000
Speaker 1: How realistic is it or.

1445
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 19: How difficult is it going to be to find those

1446
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:53,840
Speaker 19: small little ships on a coastline that big.

1447
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,639
Speaker 21: Well, the Strait of Horror moves. The geography favors us

1448
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 21: in this particular case, because the only place where the

1449
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:10,679
Speaker 21: IRGC Navy is capable of constricting or attacking merchant ships

1450
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:14,679
Speaker 21: really is in that about twenty or twenty one mile straight.

1451
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 21: So I have no doubt that we have had an

1452
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 21: unblinking eye on that. And before we had had a ceasefire,

1453
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 21: and so when I heard reports of small boats coming

1454
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:30,280
Speaker 21: out and attacking merchant ships, I think that is the

1455
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 21: catalyst that created this change in our posture, even though

1456
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 21: there was a ceasefire, where now we have authorization to

1457
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 21: strike and kill small boats coming out. I am confident

1458
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 21: that we have had a very very strong surveillance and

1459
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 21: reconnaissance posture there and know where they're coming from and

1460
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 21: where they're going to.

1461
01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: If they've put.

1462
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 21: Mines in the water, I would expect that we know

1463
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 21: where they are. So there's a new wrinkle in the

1464
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 21: rules of engagement that now is not a wrinkle. It's

1465
01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 21: a big positive thing now to say, okay, you can

1466
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 21: kill those small boats in for when they come out.

1467
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 1: As former Deputy syentcom Commander, Vice Admiral Mark Fox, and

1468
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:18,680
Speaker 1: this is retired Admiral Stravitus, former Supreme Allied Commander at

1469
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:19,839
Speaker 1: NATO number sixteen.

1470
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 22: Strategically, what we ought to be doing is going after

1471
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 22: these small boats before they get underway. And that's a

1472
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 22: hard target because there's a lot of them, they're distributed.

1473
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 22: But we ought to go after the small boats. We

1474
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:36,360
Speaker 22: ought to go after the mine lake and capability. We

1475
01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 22: ought to go after the ballistic missile. So try and

1476
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 22: shut down that Iranian capability to control.

1477
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 16: This tre.

1478
01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 1: And I've said that the biggest car the Iranians has

1479
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 1: is not the strait of our moves, it's the American left.

1480
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 1: This is Brett McGirk, Deputy Assistant to President Joe Biden,

1481
01:31:55,160 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 1: and he's also on the National Security Council number twenty three.

1482
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,000
Speaker 23: It's an open question there is another aspect of this,

1483
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:06,320
Speaker 23: another headline that we're sort of tracking along the way,

1484
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:09,120
Speaker 23: whether it's related to what's happening in the Gulf of

1485
01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:11,920
Speaker 23: Oman and straight upward moves. We don't yet know there

1486
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:14,920
Speaker 23: are signals pointing in that direction, but it's still noticeable

1487
01:32:15,280 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 23: that as the US Navy is embroiled in this massive

1488
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:23,200
Speaker 23: operation with huge consequences, the Secretary of the Navy has

1489
01:32:23,280 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 23: just been removed. Real what does that mean for that department?

1490
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 18: So I think it means nothing in terms of the

1491
01:32:30,160 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 18: actual military operation in the Middle East. Secretary of the

1492
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 18: Navy is really not involved in that, not in the

1493
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,839
Speaker 18: chain of command or anything like that. Secretary Navy's involved

1494
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:42,560
Speaker 18: in equipping the force, training the force. But to the Iranians,

1495
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 18: they will look for any signal of disarray and to them,

1496
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,440
Speaker 18: the Secretary of the Navy, while we have this naval blockade.

1497
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 1: Just resigned or was fired.

1498
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,840
Speaker 18: That's I think in the Iranian mind, it's going to

1499
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:56,719
Speaker 18: convince them that time is on their side.

1500
01:32:56,840 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: Right.

1501
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:00,160
Speaker 18: They're looking ahead, they're thinking, this is how they think.

1502
01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,000
Speaker 18: I've sat across the table from the iranias. They think

1503
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 18: we're very short term and we can be very short term.

1504
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:08,760
Speaker 18: They talk about our election cycles, our gas prices, so

1505
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 18: they're looking, say, six months till midterm elections. To the

1506
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 18: Iranians is nothing. Six months is nothing in terms of

1507
01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 18: they're overall time span, so I think they're settled in

1508
01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 18: for a long haul. And the question is whether we

1509
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 18: can be settled in for a long haul in these

1510
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:24,599
Speaker 18: two competing blockades. That's a very open question. And how

1511
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 18: do you increase enough pressure on Iran perhaps and get

1512
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:29,360
Speaker 18: them back to the table. The one thing I see

1513
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:30,720
Speaker 18: right now, if you don't want to go back to

1514
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 18: the military campaign, which I don't think we should. I

1515
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 18: think we should try to keep this in the economic domain,

1516
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:38,439
Speaker 18: is more diplomatic pressure trying to bring others along with us.

1517
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:40,640
Speaker 18: And that's the one thing right now, but we have

1518
01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:41,879
Speaker 18: not done that's.

1519
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,919
Speaker 1: And speaking of the diplomatic table, this is what Caroline

1520
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 1: Livitt said this morning, number twenty seven.

1521
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 24: Look, as you know, and I spoke about it earlier

1522
01:33:51,840 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 24: this week, the President was flexible in granting an extension

1523
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 24: of the ceasefire throughout this time. The President has decided

1524
01:33:59,479 --> 01:34:03,200
Speaker 24: to dispass Special Envoy Wit Coff and Jared Kushner back

1525
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:07,080
Speaker 24: to Islamabad. The Iranians want to talk, they want to

1526
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 24: talk in person, and so the President is, as I've

1527
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:11,760
Speaker 24: said many many times to all of you, always willing

1528
01:34:11,800 --> 01:34:14,639
Speaker 24: to give diplomacy a chance. So Steve and Jared will

1529
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,679
Speaker 24: be heading to Pakistan tomorrow to hear the Iranians out.

1530
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 24: We hope progress will be made and we hope that

1531
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:23,679
Speaker 24: positive developments will come from this meeting. And we will

1532
01:34:23,680 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 24: see and the President, the Vice President, the Secretary of

1533
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 24: State will be waiting here in the United States for updates,

1534
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:32,720
Speaker 24: and the Vice President, I understand, is on standby and

1535
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 24: we'll be willing to dispatch to Pakistan if we feel

1536
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:37,080
Speaker 24: it's a necessary use of his time.

1537
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 3: Ahead.

1538
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 1: With this group going, does that mean that you have

1539
01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:47,639
Speaker 1: gone the United States has gone any kind of unified Bran.

1540
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:48,680
Speaker 6: Or are they going over there without.

1541
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 24: Any Iran We've certainly seen some progress from the Iranian

1542
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:56,960
Speaker 24: side in the last couple of days. Again, the President

1543
01:34:57,080 --> 01:35:00,519
Speaker 24: has made the decision to send Stephen Jared to hear

1544
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:02,720
Speaker 24: the Iranians out, and so we'll see what they have

1545
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:03,200
Speaker 24: to say this.

1546
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 1: For on Caspital, the presidents still helpful confidence in the

1547
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:08,360
Speaker 1: Caspitals med the FBI.

1548
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:11,759
Speaker 24: The President does still have confidence in the FBI director

1549
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:14,559
Speaker 24: and in our Law and Order team to do what

1550
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,560
Speaker 24: they've been doing so well over the course of the

1551
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 24: last year and a half. Do you know, Kristin and

1552
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 24: I wish more people would cover it. The crime rates

1553
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,360
Speaker 24: in this country have completely plummeted. We're at a one

1554
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:26,679
Speaker 24: hundred and twenty five year low in murder rates across

1555
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 24: this country. You look at what's happened in Washington, d C.

1556
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 24: New numbers released. Murderers are down nearly sixty percent in

1557
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,680
Speaker 24: our nation's capital, which is something I know, as all

1558
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:37,639
Speaker 24: of us live here, we can be very grateful for.

1559
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 24: So the President is grateful for the efforts of the

1560
01:35:40,280 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 24: great men and women of the FBI who are helped

1561
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 24: making this half Karen go ahead.

1562
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:49,320
Speaker 6: Sure, how it doesn't sign off on that.

1563
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:51,200
Speaker 14: What was his involvement and why?

1564
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:53,600
Speaker 6: Now after wrapping up to the brinds around.

1565
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:57,120
Speaker 24: That ers, as you saw, Judge Janine Heuro or a

1566
01:35:57,200 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 24: former judge, Janine, US attorney Janine now put out a

1567
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 24: statement saying that the case is not necessarily dropped. It's

1568
01:36:04,680 --> 01:36:07,800
Speaker 24: just being moved over to the Inspector General, who has

1569
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,920
Speaker 24: critical tools at their disposal to continue to look into

1570
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:14,800
Speaker 24: the financial mismanagement at the FED. This has obviously been

1571
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 24: a priority for the President. If you drive by the

1572
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,160
Speaker 24: FED building, the President has a point. This is a

1573
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:21,679
Speaker 24: project that's been going on for a very long time.

1574
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:24,800
Speaker 24: It's costing taxpayers billions of dollars, and I think it's

1575
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 24: in the best interest of the taxpayer to get to

1576
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 24: the bottom of it. So the investigation still continues. It's

1577
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:32,639
Speaker 24: just under a different authority and that's what you'll continue

1578
01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 24: to see. Not to my knowledge, I don't know if

1579
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 24: the White House Legislative Affairs Shop was in touch with

1580
01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:45,599
Speaker 24: the Senator, But as we've always maintained, Senator Tilla should

1581
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 24: do the right thing and moved to confirm Kevin Worsh

1582
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 24: as speedily as possible. He is a phenomenal candidate to

1583
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:53,719
Speaker 24: lead the Fed, and we shouldn't be holding our nation's

1584
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 24: economy hostage because of a disagreement with the Department of Justice.

1585
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:02,560
Speaker 6: Go ahead, Benny, ask what led to this reclassification of

1586
01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 6: the marijuana that the presidentsted the other day on social media?

1587
01:37:06,840 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 6: Like one of pops love this, but I just wanted

1588
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:13,920
Speaker 6: to share on the process.

1589
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about, uh, what the President has done

1590
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:16,920
Speaker 1: to lower drug prices in the second But since this

1591
01:37:18,080 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 1: conversation she had this morning, the DOJ has dropped this

1592
01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:25,560
Speaker 1: investigation against Federal Reserve Chair Trome Pole over cost overruns.

1593
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:29,120
Speaker 1: The Senator from North Carolina Tom tell Us that he

1594
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,160
Speaker 1: wasn't going to approve the new FED nominee until that

1595
01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:39,080
Speaker 1: case was dropped. He's now been dropped. I'm Larry Triple

Speaker 1: eight nine seven one s A G. E. Triple eight

1600
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:53,800
Speaker 1: a little premature, but I feeling the love. By the way,

01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,840
Speaker 1: are you still overpaying your wireless company. I've got something

1602
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 1: to help you and to make a contribution to Food

Speaker 1: for the Poor. It's called Sage Wireless dot Com, same

1604
01:38:03,720 --> 01:38:06,640
Speaker 1: nationwide network planned from twenty five to sixty bucks a month,

1605
01:38:06,680 --> 01:38:08,400
Speaker 1: which is much lower than when you're paying right now,

1606
01:38:08,640 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 1: Keep your phone, keep your number, and a percentage of

1607
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,360
Speaker 1: every bill feeds family through Food for the Poor. Sage

1608
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:19,439
Speaker 1: Wireless dot Com. That's Sagewireless dot Com. Dean is in Sacramento, California. Dean,

1609
01:38:19,479 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 1: you're in the Lario the show. Thank you for calling, long.

1610
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 10: Time listener, Thank you for taking my call, my pleasure,

1611
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 10: mister elder Okay, I'm gonna try no, Thank you, sir.

1612
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,080
Speaker 10: Let me try to get straight to the crest of it.

1613
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:36,080
Speaker 10: I believe international water is two hundred miles economically to

1614
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 10: every service of Okay, economically, every sovereign country begins at

1615
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:49,400
Speaker 10: believe fifty eight miles of the straight up hormouth at

1616
01:38:49,400 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 10: its widest point is fifty eight miles. The narrowest twenty

1617
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:59,120
Speaker 10: one miles. Now, due to economics, they do have a

1618
01:38:59,240 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 10: right to charge charge for the sovereign oil under their

1619
01:39:03,320 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 10: crust of their land, to charge at least when they

1620
01:39:06,680 --> 01:39:10,919
Speaker 10: are they're charging one dollar a metal, one dollar a barrel.

1621
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 10: That's equivalent, and what it is rated financially through the

1622
01:39:17,840 --> 01:39:22,280
Speaker 10: what is that bitcoin? That bitcoin coming through China that

1623
01:39:22,400 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 10: they would trade that with it is somewhat of an

1624
01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 10: oxymoron because America trades some of its financial electronic lingual

1625
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:37,759
Speaker 10: seeds through China too through bitcoin. So I just don't

1626
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:43,960
Speaker 10: see why they can't charge economically one dollar.

1627
01:39:44,160 --> 01:39:46,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I got you, I got you. I got your question, Dean.

1628
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:50,120
Speaker 1: Why until this war started were they not charging They

1629
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: weren't charging anything.

1630
01:39:52,560 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 10: They weren't charging anything at that time because their power

1631
01:39:55,920 --> 01:40:01,280
Speaker 10: plants hadn't been demolished like Chernobyl Nuclear power plant, who Kazeem.

1632
01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 1: A yeah, but if your but if your argument is

1633
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 1: that based on their geography, they could have been charging.

1634
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,280
Speaker 1: My question is why weren't they charging before? The answer

1635
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:10,840
Speaker 1: is they weren't.

1636
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 10: They know they weren't. They weren't. But now, since the

1637
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:20,160
Speaker 10: demolish of their country's infrastructure, they have to charge to rebuild.

1638
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:24,840
Speaker 10: But this president, once he goes in to the international

1639
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 10: monetary flum through back doors, are going to rebuild what

1640
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,920
Speaker 10: they destroyed. That is, that does not make any economical fis.

1641
01:40:31,680 --> 01:40:34,280
Speaker 1: Well, if the if, the if the if, the same

1642
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:38,160
Speaker 1: regime stays in power with the same intention. Uh No,

1643
01:40:38,200 --> 01:40:40,320
Speaker 1: it does not make any sense. And I think at

1644
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:44,479
Speaker 1: the end of this war results in Iran charging a toll,

1645
01:40:44,840 --> 01:40:48,800
Speaker 1: charging a dollar a barrel. Uh that would not be

1646
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,320
Speaker 1: a good result. I don't believe that what the president

1647
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:56,000
Speaker 1: is going to end up getting. I believe this is

1648
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:59,360
Speaker 1: a hope. I believe that eventually enough Iranians are going

1649
01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:01,640
Speaker 1: to rise up and take control of their country. But

1650
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:04,840
Speaker 1: even if they don't, as long as we have behavior

1651
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:08,160
Speaker 1: change as opposed to regime change, no more pursuit of

1652
01:41:08,280 --> 01:41:11,599
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, no more pursuit of their ballistic missiles program,

1653
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,640
Speaker 1: and no more supportive proxies. I'm good with that, and

1654
01:41:14,680 --> 01:41:16,160
Speaker 1: if that means we have to have some sort of

1655
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:21,519
Speaker 1: naval force around them for an indetermined period of time,

1656
01:41:21,720 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 1: not unlike we have tens of thousands of troops in Europe,

1657
01:41:24,400 --> 01:41:27,800
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of troops in South Korea, and tens

1658
01:41:27,800 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 1: of thousands of troops in Japan. I'm okay with that.

1659
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: The alternative is a nuclear armed fanatic regime that chance

1660
01:41:36,960 --> 01:41:40,880
Speaker 1: death to America, and we know they have the capability

1661
01:41:40,920 --> 01:41:44,799
Speaker 1: to reach Diego, Garcia. A lot of our intel community

1662
01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 1: was shocked to find they could have a missile that

1663
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:48,639
Speaker 1: went twenty five hundred miles away, which means they could

1664
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 1: strike every capital in Europe. The alternative is unacceptable. Now

1665
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 1: there is a Atlantic writer. Atlantic is a left wing

1666
01:41:58,479 --> 01:42:03,800
Speaker 1: journal talking about Pete Hegseth. This is the kind of

1667
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:08,799
Speaker 1: stuff that the Iranians are hoping will cause the American

1668
01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 1: people to rise up against this war in Iran. He

1669
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,720
Speaker 1: says that Hexth promised to get rid of woke in

1670
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:19,600
Speaker 1: the military, but he meant black and female senior officers.

1671
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,360
Speaker 1: Didn't they just fire the Secretary of Navy. Wasn't he

1672
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,640
Speaker 1: a white male number twenty two.

1673
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:30,479
Speaker 17: I guess what does it say about heg Seth and

1674
01:42:30,600 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 17: his leadership when you take the firing of Falin and

1675
01:42:33,400 --> 01:42:38,520
Speaker 17: the Army chief of Staff and the woke culture purges altogether.

1676
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:44,200
Speaker 11: Well, I would separate those two things because heg Seth

1677
01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 11: when he first came in, really wanted to make his bones,

1678
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:48,920
Speaker 11: as you know, the guy that was going to turf

1679
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 11: all these woke and by woke he means black and

1680
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:56,640
Speaker 11: female senior officers. But I think what's going on now,

1681
01:42:56,640 --> 01:42:58,920
Speaker 11: and I think what you're seeing with Falin is heg

1682
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,559
Speaker 11: Seth is very worried that he's going to lose his job,

1683
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:06,519
Speaker 11: and so he's trying to repopulate the Pentagon and its

1684
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:12,879
Speaker 11: environment with people who won't support him getting fired.

1685
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:15,599
Speaker 1: So he's going to get rid of all the senior

1686
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 1: female and black officers. But he fired Secretary of Navy

1687
01:43:19,400 --> 01:43:24,920
Speaker 1: who's a white male. Got it. Every spam call, every

1694
01:43:43,600 --> 01:43:46,439
Speaker 1: be hackers to get it. They just need Google In

1711
01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 1: former senior advisor in the Obama Biden White House, also

1712
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 1: advised the Biden Harris campaign. She's on CNN and listen

1713
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 1: to this hideous statement she makes with no pushback.

1714
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 14: Number one, but it was so racially charged because of

1715
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,280
Speaker 14: what had happened just before with Rodney King, but also

1716
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:10,519
Speaker 14: just how Black Americans feel about policing. It's not like

1717
01:45:10,600 --> 01:45:13,920
Speaker 14: OJ Simpson was the leader of the civil rights movement

1718
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 14: of his error. He wasn't a social justice leader, but

1719
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:21,559
Speaker 14: he represented something for the black community in that moment,

1720
01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:24,639
Speaker 14: in that trial, particularly because there were two white people

1721
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:27,960
Speaker 14: who had been killed, and the history around how black

1722
01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:31,559
Speaker 14: people have been persecuted during slavery, there were just so

1723
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:34,120
Speaker 14: many layers, and I guess I would just close with

1724
01:45:34,160 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 14: this is that there was racial tension. Then there is

1725
01:45:38,520 --> 01:45:41,040
Speaker 14: racial tension. Now it might not be the backdrop of

1726
01:45:41,120 --> 01:45:44,680
Speaker 14: the Trump campaign, But until this country is ready to

1727
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:49,360
Speaker 14: actually have an honest conversation about the racial dynamics from

1728
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:52,919
Speaker 14: our origin story till today, we will always have moments

1729
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:55,799
Speaker 14: like OJ Simpson that manifest and our country will always

1730
01:45:55,840 --> 01:45:58,320
Speaker 14: be divided if we don't actually deal with the issue

1731
01:45:58,360 --> 01:45:58,800
Speaker 14: of race.

1732
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:03,759
Speaker 1: What does it even mean Until we have an honest

1733
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:07,559
Speaker 1: dialogue about race in America? But I'm going to have

1734
01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:11,040
Speaker 1: these problems O. J. Simpson represented something to the black

1735
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:15,280
Speaker 1: community because they killed two white people. This is a

1736
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:21,400
Speaker 1: top advisor for Obama, Biden and the Biden Harris campaign.

1737
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 1: There was this massive, massive study done by the Brookings Institution,

1738
01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:32,960
Speaker 1: which is probably the most prominent left wing thing tank

1739
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:40,080
Speaker 1: and gallop an analysis of relationships across race and their

1740
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:44,680
Speaker 1: effects on work, family, and friendships. Let's go over some

1741
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 1: of it, shall we. It starts out by saying, you know,

1742
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:53,880
Speaker 1: the racial narratives have often framed as one group in

1743
01:46:53,920 --> 01:47:00,960
Speaker 1: competition with another. Quote. This is ironic given economic and

1744
01:47:01,040 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 1: cultural modernization have made interracial contact and cooperation more common

1745
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 1: than at any other time in US history. And they

1746
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:16,880
Speaker 1: define what they mean by cooperation as voluntary, mutually beneficial exchanges,

1747
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: such as those that routinely occur in social and economic interactions.

1748
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:34,280
Speaker 1: So they looked at interactions voluntary with people, surveyed five

1749
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:39,160
Speaker 1: thousand US adults, asking them extensive questions about their relationships

1750
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 1: at work, their friendships, their romantic relationships, their family ties.

1751
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:52,560
Speaker 1: Team used scenarios to get responses regarding racial preferences and

1752
01:47:52,640 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 1: hiring decisions. They asked various questions about discrimination, about the

1753
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 1: importance of race, and other characteristics when selecting friends and

1754
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:07,240
Speaker 1: business partners. You know what they found out. Quote. Explicit

1755
01:48:07,720 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 1: racial bias in business exchanges and friendship formation is rare.

1756
01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:17,439
Speaker 1: When evaluating whether to conduct business with someone, eighty seven

1757
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:22,200
Speaker 1: percent of US adults report that race of the candidate

1758
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:26,599
Speaker 1: is not important to them at all. Eighty seven percent,

1759
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:32,759
Speaker 1: when reflecting on selecting friends, eighty three percent gave that response.

1760
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:42,439
Speaker 1: In hiring, race far less important than other factors. Among

1761
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:47,479
Speaker 1: US adults, eighty five percent express preferences in hiring that

1762
01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:53,040
Speaker 1: were race neutral, ten percent expressed a preference for black candidates,

1763
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:57,160
Speaker 1: and five percent expressed a preference for white candidates. So

1764
01:48:57,240 --> 01:49:00,839
Speaker 1: those expressing a preference for race more expressed a preference

1765
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:08,360
Speaker 1: for blacks than whites. This thing on. Most US adults,

1766
01:49:08,920 --> 01:49:13,759
Speaker 1: according to this survey, experienced interracial relationships at work. Almost

1767
01:49:13,800 --> 01:49:17,479
Speaker 1: all US workers eighty three percent have a client from

1768
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:21,200
Speaker 1: a different race than themselves. Eighty percent have one or

1769
01:49:21,200 --> 01:49:24,360
Speaker 1: more co workers of a different race have have a

1770
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:30,720
Speaker 1: boss manage your supervisor of a different race. Interracial friendships

1771
01:49:30,840 --> 01:49:34,679
Speaker 1: are common and successful. Over half of US adults report

1772
01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 1: having a close friend from another race. Seventy two percent

1773
01:49:38,160 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: have at least one from another race, whether close or not.

1774
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:47,120
Speaker 1: Between friendship contentment, the share of friends who are from

1775
01:49:47,160 --> 01:49:52,959
Speaker 1: different racial groups that differ from others overall. No difference

1776
01:49:53,160 --> 01:49:57,439
Speaker 1: in close interracial friendships compared to those that are not

1777
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 1: of the same race. No difference among adults who are

1778
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:12,840
Speaker 1: married or in long term romantic relationships. Approximately thirty five

1779
01:50:12,880 --> 01:50:16,000
Speaker 1: percent of those under age thirty are in an interracial

1780
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 1: relationship versus fourteen percent of adults seventy years or older.

1781
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:31,640
Speaker 1: Large minorities of Americans quote reject racial bias when it

1782
01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:36,040
Speaker 1: comes to forging friendships or business relationships. As I mentioned

1783
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 1: the case of hiring, there's a small preference for black

1784
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:42,160
Speaker 1: workers compared to white workers. In other words, all of

1785
01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: this proves what I have been saying for a very

1786
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:51,640
Speaker 1: long time. Racism in America has become almost insignificant. It

1787
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:55,680
Speaker 1: is kept alive by race hustlers, by people like that

1788
01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:59,800
Speaker 1: woman I just now mentioned, Ashley Allison, by those who

1789
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:04,759
Speaker 1: hate crimes like Joussy Smolette, groups like the Southern Property

1790
01:51:04,840 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 1: Law Center. They're literally paying hate groups the stage protests

1791
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:13,160
Speaker 1: so they can then point to the protests as evidence

1792
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:16,479
Speaker 1: that racism remains a major problem, and then use that

1793
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,320
Speaker 1: to argue that there are content, that their relevance is necessary,

1794
01:51:21,280 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 1: and to use it to fundraise from people who claim

1795
01:51:24,320 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 1: that racism remains a major problem. So when the supply

1796
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 1: of racism becomes low, it becomes necessary to manufacture new sources.

1797
01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:36,479
Speaker 1: And that's what the SPLC has done by paying the

1798
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:39,080
Speaker 1: hate groups, the very hate groups they supposedly are set

1799
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 1: up to monitor, money to get out and stage protests.

1800
01:51:44,000 --> 01:51:48,080
Speaker 1: Part of the people on the protest in Charlottesville were

1801
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:51,520
Speaker 1: paid by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which is designed

1802
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:57,719
Speaker 1: to go after hate groups. You cannot make this up. Life, liberty,

1803
01:51:57,760 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 1: and the pursuit of happiness. Those words weren't written for

1804
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,600
Speaker 1: history books. They're written for you. But it's hard to

1805
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:07,280
Speaker 1: pursue happiness when pain is part of everyday life. Relief

1806
01:52:07,320 --> 01:52:10,640
Speaker 1: Factor was created to help people address inflammation, one of

1807
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:14,559
Speaker 1: the most common causes of ongoing aches and pains from aging,

1808
01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:18,280
Speaker 1: over exertion, and daily living. It's a one hundred percent

1811
01:52:27,840 --> 01:52:30,519
Speaker 1: just real relief so you can keep moving forward. I've

1812
01:52:30,560 --> 01:52:33,599
Speaker 1: told you about my buddy Tom Avid Golfer couldn't pull

1813
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,320

1814
01:52:36,320 --> 01:52:39,599

1815
01:52:39,680 --> 01:52:42,879
Speaker 1: celebrates two hundred and fifty years of independence, give yourself

1816
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: the chance to reclaim yours relief factor, because freedom just

1817
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:49,760

1823
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:26,759
Speaker 1: different polls about the California governance race. One, a Emerson

1824
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 1: College poll conducted from April fourteen to April fifteen, is

1825
01:53:30,360 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 1: before the debate, had Steve Hilton at seventeen percent. Chad Bianco,

1826
01:53:36,400 --> 01:53:41,240
Speaker 1: also Republican, at fourteen percent, tied with the billionaire Tom Steyer.

1827
01:53:41,920 --> 01:53:44,000
Speaker 1: But there's also one that came out around the same time.

1828
01:53:44,160 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 1: Conducted around the same time between April fourteen and twentieth

1829
01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:54,919
Speaker 1: something called the Independent Voter Project, and they have Xavier Basserro,

1830
01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:58,840
Speaker 1: the former ag of California, the former HHS secretary at

1831
01:53:58,880 --> 01:54:04,080
Speaker 1: twenty three percent, with Hilton at nineteen point seven percent

1832
01:54:04,520 --> 01:54:08,760
Speaker 1: and Chad Bioncle at sixteen point eight percent. Don't know

1833
01:54:08,800 --> 01:54:12,400
Speaker 1: which one is accurate. I do know this, the Democrats

1834
01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 1: are going to do everything they can to make sure

1835
01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:16,599
Speaker 1: a Democrat is in the top two, if not both

1836
01:54:16,600 --> 01:54:20,439
Speaker 1: of them. Their belief is that if they square off

1837
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:24,880
Speaker 1: against a Republican, particularly somebody likes Steve Hilton, who's gotten

1838
01:54:24,920 --> 01:54:28,120
Speaker 1: endorsed by Donald Trump, Believe me, every ad you see

1839
01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:32,160
Speaker 1: will have Steve Hilton standing next to Donald Trump. Same

1840
01:54:32,200 --> 01:54:34,840
Speaker 1: thing if Chad Biancle, it's it's the top Republican as

1841
01:54:34,880 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: opposed to Steve Hilton. Even though Trump has not endorsed Byoncle.

1842
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 1: They'll find some picture with Biyoncle next to Trump and

1843
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:44,200
Speaker 1: they'll show it over and over and over again. Or

1844
01:54:44,200 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: if they don't have a picture, they'll just have a

1845
01:54:45,560 --> 01:54:49,520
Speaker 1: picture of Trump a picture of Chad Bioncle. But their

1846
01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 1: goal is to make sure that there is a Democrat

1847
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 1: in the top two. And if they do that, they'll

1848
01:54:55,400 --> 01:54:57,680
Speaker 1: try to pull the same thing that Gavin Newsom did

1849
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 1: when he ran against a republic We can name John

1850
01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:03,680
Speaker 1: Cox ever heard of him. Didn't think so, and that

1851
01:55:03,920 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 1: Adam Shift did. When he ran against a Republican Steve

1852
01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 1: Garvey in the Senate race, President Trump talked about the

1853
01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 1: historically historical agreement with drug manufacturers to lower drug prices.

1854
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:20,480
Speaker 1: It was covered on Fox News Live. I cut on CNN.

1855
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: They weren't covering it. I cut on MSNB Heat Hop,

1856
01:55:22,760 --> 01:55:29,640
Speaker 1: they were not covering it. Number thirteen.

1857
01:55:31,520 --> 01:55:34,400
Speaker 18: During his first term, he helped the line on drug

1858
01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 18: prizes for the first time in the history.

1859
01:55:37,080 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: He came back on this term and.

1860
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:40,480
Speaker 16: He said, We're going to lower them this time, no

1861
01:55:40,520 --> 01:55:40,920
Speaker 16: matter what.

1862
01:55:41,760 --> 01:55:44,440
Speaker 1: There's people in this room or part of the White House.

1863
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 21: Apple said we can't do that, Oz, and I said,

1864
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:51,680
Speaker 21: we probably can't do that, but he harassed as we

1865
01:55:51,680 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 21: were beleaguered.

1866
01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 1: It was like Ford Apache and marijuana has long been

1867
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,120
Speaker 1: classified as a Schedule of one drug, which means highly

1868
01:56:02,160 --> 01:56:06,680
Speaker 1: addictive and no municipal medicinal value prisident. Trump has reclassified

1869
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:09,840
Speaker 1: it as a less dangerous drug to enable there to

1870
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:11,480
Speaker 1: be more and more research about whether or not it

1871
01:56:11,520 --> 01:56:14,760
Speaker 1: has any kind of beneficial effects. I would have thought

1872
01:56:15,120 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 1: that Eve, if you hated Donald Trump's guts, if you're

1873
01:56:16,760 --> 01:56:19,680
Speaker 1: on the left. You would have liked this, but will

1874
01:56:19,720 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: that alter your opinion of him as you're smoking a blunt?

1875
01:56:25,000 --> 01:56:28,280
Speaker 1: Probably not. I'll see you on Monday, everybody, God bless

1876
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:31,120
Speaker 1: have a great weekend.

1877
01:56:32,160 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 9: What kind of thing my miles drop all across America?

1878
01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:41,280
Speaker 3: That's enough?

1879
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:48,640
Speaker 21: Put down the microhe The Larry Elder Show.
