Speaker 3: want to tell you, wherever you are, if the cost

32
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,840

33

Speaker 3: one of these people waiting for Obamacare subsidies to be

34
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: dealt with by Congress.

00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,760

00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

88
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: Man.

89
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 6: By the way, before I make my comment, I got

90
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 6: a wiener dog named Chris. I didn't name him after you.

91
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 6: I kind of inherited. It means hilarious, but we decided

92
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 6: the first of the year. Yeah, it's really funny to

93
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 6: look at him and people go, he's so cute.

94
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: What's his name?

95
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 6: It's Chris. And I get a lot of Chris.

96
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: That's a weird. Now, how did you name the dog Chris?

97
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 6: No, I was kind of inherited. He had a really

98
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 6: bad first three four years of his life and we

99
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 6: rescued him. And uh, that was his name on the

100
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: little plaque there. So I said, like, it couldn't have

101
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 6: fit any better. He looks so pathetic. But he looks

102
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 6: like that reindeer that or that little dog that that

103
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 6: shoot the little the green Christmas guy, the Grinch. Yeah,

104
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 6: it looks like that little dog with the antlers on.

105
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 6: He's ridiculous.

106
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: Well I wish him well.

107
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: Uh, a guy that's been battered but still weathered and

108
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 3: still with you named Chris.

109
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 2: I like that. That's sort of a I.

110
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 6: We decided to grab those rough shoes, the rough green

111
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 6: rough shoes. We're going to give it a try. He's

112
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 6: got some skin issues and some stuff, so h we're

113
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 6: going to give it a try.

114
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: I love to hear this. Let me know what you

115
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: think of it, would you please the roughs?

116
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 6: Sure will?

117
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 7: Yeah?

118
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well thanks for taking my call. But this earlier

119
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 6: this week, it wasn't part of what I wanted to discuss,

120
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 6: but your comments on your sobriety and Jesus really knocked

121
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 6: me between the eyes on that and what courage it

122
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 6: takes to say something like that and throw that out

123
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 6: there with so many adversaries against both of those things

124
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 6: these days. But I had a similar experience. I'll be

125
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 6: sober three years in March, and I fumble around.

126
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 7: Man.

127
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 6: I was in the military at seventeen, and they let

128
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 6: you slug as much alcohol as you wanted. And forty

129
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 6: two years I woke up and I'm like, you know,

130
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 6: I told the lie that I liked to drink in

131
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 6: I didn't want to quit. I could quit. A long

132
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 6: story short, I knew internally that I couldn't, and I

133
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 6: knew that it was just not working for me. So

134
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 6: one night in bed, I just laid and laid there

135
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 6: and told a genuine prayer. And the words that I

136
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: had in my prayer to Jesus would never be anything

137
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 6: that I could drum up, and I just asked him

138
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 6: to take the taste of alcohol out of my mouth

139
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 6: and get it out of my life. I was willing

140
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 6: to sacrifice friendships that I knew would drop the side.

141
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 6: And my life has a lot of time in it

142
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 6: and it's a little boring, but I can tell you

143
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 6: it was the single best decision I've ever made in

144
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 6: my life, besides having a family.

145
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: Aymen, Oh, Robert Gosh, I love to hear that. Isn't

146
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit good? The way he works in us

147
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 3: when you when you key in to the Lord, Robert,

148
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: hang on. I want to put you on hold, my man.

149
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 3: Thank you for sharing that. God bless you. I'm going

150
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: to put you on hold. I want to make you

151
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: an honorary her rumper. I want to make you a

152
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 3: part of the Herum Society. I love that story. Thank you,

153
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: my friend. Now, meanwhile, pivoting, I got to go out

154
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: to West Coast Willie, our West Coast correspondent here at

155
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,640

00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 3: Welcome in Willard, our friend. I had no idea it's

159
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 3: been a year already since those terrible fires.

160
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: Good morning, Chris, Chris, good morning. Great to be here

161
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: with you.

162
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 7: Bright and early out here in Los Angeles, though I

163
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 7: don't know if I could say it's bright because it

164
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 7: is four am and the sun hasn't come out yet,

165
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 7: so it's still pretty dark out. But Chris, you're the

166
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 7: only person on this planet I would be this honor.

167
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: To get up this early for so. Like I said,

168
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: it's a pleasure to be here with you, Chris.

169
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: Well, it's very generous of you, my friend. We love

170
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: checking in with you. You're doing great work. And by

171
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: the way, if you don't follow him at Willie Nelson TV,

172
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 3: spelled just like the guy that I'm sure you hear

173
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: endless comments about regularly when I hear your name. You're

174
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 3: not that guy. You're much younger and as far as

175
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: I know, sober.

176
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: That's correct, Chris, So let's get into it. The other day, on.

177
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 7: January seventh, I went down to the Pacific Palisades on

178
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 7: the one year anniversary of the Palaces fire. They held

179
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 7: a rally called the They Let Us Burn Rally, which

180
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 7: I call it a rally. I was originally calling it

181
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 7: a protest, but it's really a rally. And the difference

182
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 7: is when people are protesting like we often see on

183
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 7: the left, it's usually a bunch of maniacs getting together

184
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 7: burning down the city. This is a very nice group

185
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 7: of people holding a rally to bring awareness to the

186
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 7: failed leadership that has.

187
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: That we have here in California.

188
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 7: And you know, people often think in California that, oh,

189
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 7: you know, it's a state full of blue voters. Nothing

190
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 7: is going to change, Chris. I can tell you the

191
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 7: people are energized. There was about one thousand plus people

192
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 7: there and they are sick and tired of California leadership.

193
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: They are sick and.

194
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 7: Tired of the failed promises, the red tape, the non

195
00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 7: stop bureaucracy, the palisage. Chris, pretty well, it just doesn't

196
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 7: exist anymore.

197
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: Okay.

198
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: I actually lived about a mile away.

199
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 7: I used to live in Santa Monica from where this occurred,

200
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 7: and that day was, in my opinion, completely preventable. It

201
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 7: did not need to go to the scale that it did.

202
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 7: I mean close to one hundred billion dollars worth of damage,

203
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 7: and just a little over a year later, now a

204
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 7: year and two or three days, the city is not

205
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 7: too much in a different place as it was.

206
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: So I spoke with you a lot.

207
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 3: I'm sry to interrupt you, but you actually you spoke

208
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: to some people at this rally.

209
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 7: Yes, correct, yes, And so let's go ahead and get

210
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 7: to some of those clips when we could get to

211
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 7: maybe clip number two. Here is a guy who grew

212
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 7: up in the Palisades, sharing his story and sharing about

213
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 7: where he is, where he's at now with it.

214
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: Tell us what.

215
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 7: Brought you out here today so that they let us burn?

216
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: Protests.

217
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 8: Well, I grew up in the neighborhood. I've lived here

218
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 8: for forty three years. I lost my house, my mom's house,

219
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 8: my aunt's house, and pretty much everybody I knew that.

220
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 8: I grew up with homes but have been destroyed thanks

221
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 8: to our failed government.

222
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: And they let us burn.

223
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 8: Our government's corrupt, they're sending it to homelessness. They're spending

224
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 8: billions of dollars on homelessness, and they're not taking care of

225
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 8: our infrastructure. They're not taking our fire department, theyre't giving

226
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 8: them enough money to service us.

227
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 4: And then they just basically let us burn.

228
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 8: And they let the fire that was started on January

229
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 8: first smoldered for several days, and they knew there was

230
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 8: a wind event, which they say was you know, global

231
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 8: warming vs. But they didn't put the fire out, and

232
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 8: they got caught on fire again or started up again

233
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 8: and burned our whole town down.

234
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: And it's a total failure.

235
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 8: Of our government, and then who do we hold accountable.

236
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 8: There's no one accountable for it right now.

237
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: So will you guys, don't go out there telling them

238
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 3: that you're conservatives or you work for Salem. These are people,

239
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: These are just American Californian voters who were ticked.

240
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: Off at the way they've been treated. Drue, that is

241
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: a correct assessment, Chris.

242
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 7: These are people who are fed up with the lies.

243
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 7: And keep in mind Chris here in California, criticizing Democrats,

244
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 7: criticizing Karen Bass, criticizing Gavin Newsom. This was almost a

245
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 7: sin for you know, the last few decades in a

246
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 7: lot of different groups. Now it's people have been put

247
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 7: through so much they have no choice but to tell

248
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 7: the truth and say, no, we're sick of this junk,

249
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 7: We're sick of this nonsense. Because you know, they literally

250
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 7: lost their whole city and then they get you know,

251
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 7: the immediate reaction, and I can attest to this, I

252
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 7: was there.

253
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: The immediate reaction was, oh, this is climate change, this

254
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: was inevitable.

255
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 7: Oh maybe if we, you know, had some more taxes

256
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 7: that would offset our carbon footprint, we wouldn't have this

257
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 7: fire that Robins Sucidi No, that's nonsense, you know. And

258
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 7: that guy actually went on to tell me that if

259
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 7: we had leaders such as Rick Cruso and Larry Elder,

260
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 7: maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. Chris, I'm telling

261
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 7: you that guy didn't even know I work on the

262
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 7: Larry Elder Show.

263
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: So people are the the vibe shift is real.

264
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 3: And any shot do you think, given given given this,

265
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: is there any shot well just a couple of seconds,

266
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's president of the United States. I just don't

267
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: believe that's possible, given this and so much else destruction.

268
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 7: I pray to God no, and I don't believe. So.

269
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 7: I mean the people of California, I don't think, especially

270
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 7: the Pacific Palisades residents are not going to want him

271
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 7: to be president. So we can't let the country forget

272
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 7: about what happened in the Palisades. It is important, and

273
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 7: it is strictly due to failed leadership. And you know,

274
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 7: when Gavin Newsom runs in twenty twenty eight, people can.

275
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: I forget that outstanding work.

276
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: Willard Willie Nelson West Coast, Willye, our correspondent, hope we'll

277
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: check in with him a lot. In twenty twenty six

278
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: at Willy Nelson TV on X Thanks my friend, see you.

279
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: Yes, I know it's the holidays.

280
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: I know this is not a time of year most

281
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: people think about losing weight. But you know, our executive

282
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: producer Fast Eddie is doing it. He's using PhD Weight

283
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: Loss right now as a weight loss tool through the

284
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: holiday season. It can be done. And you know how,

285
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: I know in just two weeks time. Right now, as

286
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 3: we speak, he's on the program, and the first two

287
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: weeks of the program he's already dropped eight pounds. Now

288
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: you know, I told you the reason he's doing it,

289
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 3: because I told you I lost forty pounds in under

290
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 3: four months earlier this year. Eddie said, I want to

291
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: try it. I said, it's almost the holidays. He said,

292
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: I don't care. I want to try it. And he's

293
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 3: lost eight pounds in two weeks time. He works with

294
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: his counselor, same as I work with my counselor. I've

295
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: kept the weight off. I'm going to probably go for

296
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 3: another twenty in the new year. But the point is

297
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 3: right now, I've hit idle on purpose. I'm maintaining my

298
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 3: weight loss because my counselor at PhD Weight Loss has

299
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 3: taught me exactly what I need to do to maintain, maintain,

300
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 3: and then when I want to re engage and kick

301
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: it into full gear and start losing more than the

302
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: new year, I can. The best part about PhD weight

303
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: loss this time of year is they're very well aware

304
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: this is a hard time to get people motivated to

305
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: lose weight. But if you find yourself motivated like fast

306
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: Eddie is, they're going to give you a.

307
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: Heck of a deal right now.

308
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 3: They're making it even easier to get started because they're

309
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 3: going to waive your consultation fee entirely. They're going to

310
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: add two weeks to your program totally free, and they're

311
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: going to cover.

312
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: All costs of food.

313
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 3: This will be now everybody's going to start trying to

314
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: lose weight in January. Everybody will call and you're not

315
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,720

Speaker 3: time this morning.

384
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Happy new Year to you. Thanks for

385
00:17:59,720 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: having me.

386
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: Of course, the show that you do, aside from your

387
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: successful practice that's helping people like Eddie and me lose weight,

388
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 3: the show that you do focuses on a whole host

389
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: of different things, and I really if I could before

390
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: we talk a little bit about weight loss, I just

391
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: generally would love to talk to you because I know

392
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: you pay close attention to nutrition and just general health,

393
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 3: because your show is a big focus of that, and

394
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: I couldn't help but think of you when I heard

395
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 3: this week the new Food Pyramid was released and the

396
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: talk of processed foods and other things alcohol. You address

397
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 3: those things quite often with guests on your own show.

398
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 3: So could I just get your thirty thousand foot view

399
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 3: of what's going on in the Maha era with RFK

400
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: Junior and these new dietary guidelines.

401
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm personally so excited because I mean, if you

402
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 9: take a look at the New Food Pyramid, it's pretty

403
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 9: much what we preach and share and educate at PhD

404
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 9: Weight Loss and we've been doing this for over ten

405
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 9: years and it's just so fun to see finally some

406
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 9: positive change come out where I feel like the government

407
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 9: really is working toward helping us become more healthy. You know, before,

408
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 9: if you looked at the food pyramid, grains were at

409
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 9: the bottom. You'd slowly move up and see some kind

410
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 9: of higher quality animal protein, and then the fats were

411
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 9: at the very top of.

412
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, things to avoid.

413
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 9: If you take a look at the new dietary guidelines,

414
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 9: they flipped it pretty much upside down.

415
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: So now the smallest.

416
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 9: Portion of what we're educated to consume is the grains,

417
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 9: and they're really pushing, of course, unprocessed whole food sources

418
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 9: of grains for being the smallest amount. Before I think

419
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 9: it was like six to ten servings of grain a

420
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 9: day is what they were recommending, and now it's two

421
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 9: to four. Really, if we consume over our carbohydrate tolerance level,

422
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 9: which is primarily we're getting that from grains and processed

423
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 9: foods and sugary drinks and so go on, then we'll

424
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 9: see insulin resistance start to pick up. And that's where

425
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 9: we have metabolic dysfunction and weight gain and a lot

426
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 9: of inflammation other chronic diseases.

427
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: So I'm just so excited.

428
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 9: To see now grains are the smallest portion, and up

429
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 9: at the top they are promoting high quality protein, which

430
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 9: we generally get from animal protein sources like beefin chicken

431
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 9: and eggs and seafood.

432
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: There's butter.

433
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 9: Actually, there's unsweetened Greek yogurt, which is going to have

434
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 9: your higher amount of protein per ounce. So I'm just

435
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 9: so grateful to see these positive changes come out. I

436
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 9: was a little bit concerned because earlier on they were

437
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 9: talking about having beans replace our animal protein, which we

438
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 9: know beans unfortunately aren't a high quality, high protein source.

439
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: So I'm just I'm.

440
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 9: Grateful to see it. We talk about alcohol at PhD

441
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 9: weight loss a lot. You know, you can consume alcohol

442
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 9: and still drop weight, but it's nice to see that

443
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 9: they're talking about, you know, not consuming high amounts of alcohol.

444
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: We do know it's a carcinogen. It's unfortunately toxic to

445
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: the body.

446
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 9: Can consume some if you're interested in learning what type

447
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 9: of alcohol to consume. I talk a lot about that

448
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 9: on my YouTube show it's called The Doctor Ashley Show.

449
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: What types of alcohol will be best.

450
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 9: For you, how you can kind of bio hacked drinking

451
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 9: in the healthiest way, but in general super excited to

452
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 9: see positive change come out of our new dietary guidelines.

453
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 3: If you're interested in what Doctor Ashley has done with

454
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: her program PhD Weight Loss, that's helped this show get

455
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 3: now over sixty pounds later so far, collectively, there's sixty

456
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: pounds less of us in the new year thanks to

457
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: PhD weight Loss. You can go to my phdweightloss dot

458
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 3: com and tell them that you heard us talking this

459
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: morning and they'll take great care of you or eight

460
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 3: six four six four four nineteen hundred.

461
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: Doctor.

462
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: The the thing about your program that's worked well for me,

463
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 3: and what you just said I think is important. You're

464
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 3: not a never never never never. You can't ever, don't ever.

465
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: The whole thought process in this is if you understand

466
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: how your body metabolizes food. Even if you eat something

467
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 3: that's nonsense, it's okay. It's not the end of the world,

468
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: and you can still function and lose weight. You don't

469
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: go nuts, but you know how to course correct. I

470
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: was just sharing that with you before the show and

471
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 3: the segment started. I can course correct. It doesn't have

472
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: to just derail my program.

473
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's exactly right. You know, I feel that dropping

474
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 9: weight is a process of letting go. It's a process

475
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 9: of letting go of the excess fat weight that just

476
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 9: no longer serves you anymore. Maybe it had a purpose before,

477
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 9: but it's just you're over it, You're done. And it's

478
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 9: about letting go of the emotions that are tied to

479
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 9: it as well. And sometimes for some people that means

480
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 9: letting go of the foods that do not love you back.

481
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 9: And so it's having this recognition, this awareness around the

482
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 9: foods that are no longer serving you, and that doesn't

483
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 9: mean that you will never.

484
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: Eat those foods again. For some people, they do find like.

485
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 9: Okay, this food, these pretzels, for example, of this brand

486
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 9: I'm addicted.

487
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: To, and for me, they do not serve me.

488
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 9: And if I want to feel my best, I'm going

489
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 9: to say no to these pretzels because I deserve so

490
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 9: much more than this bag of pretzels. Right, I'm so

491
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 9: much more worthy than what these pretzels are going to

492
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 9: give me. Because they just don't serve me. I'm going

493
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 9: to say no to these moving forward. So sometimes that's

494
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 9: going to happen. And I think saying no is a

495
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 9: form of self respect. I think out in our society,

496
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 9: we tend to think that no, saying no to certain

497
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 9: foods might be deprivation or restriction.

498
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: But instead I find, like I just said.

499
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 9: It's a form of self respect to say no to

500
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 9: the foods that are no longer loving you back.

501
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 3: Now, I ask you, is that yeah? And I'm starting

502
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: to interrupt you. Here's what, curios, I'm so curious about

503
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: when you talk about foods.

504
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: That love us back.

505
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: I love that point because I've never heard so much

506
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: now about things people can't eat because it upsets them

507
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 3: so violently. And I will just introduce to you something

508
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 3: I didn't knowning about as a kid, seeliac disease, you know,

509
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: peanut allergies. I just I've never heard of people reacting

510
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: to bread and peanuts and things like that in such

511
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: a violent way. Is it because there's new science, is

512
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: it because of the volume?

513
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 2: What do you think it is?

514
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,199
Speaker 9: I think there are a few things at play, and

515
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 9: one of them is just that our food is so

516
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 9: processed and there are so many preservatives, and it's lacking

517
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 9: so many good natural nutrients. In our wet there is

518
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 9: like a lot of potentially pesticide.

519
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: It's not very clean.

520
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 9: Whereas it's interesting if you go over to Europe, and

521
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 9: a lot of people who can't tolerate gluten in the

522
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 9: US can go over to Europe and eat those that

523
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 9: gluten containing flour and be completely fine. So unfortunately, we

524
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 9: just have this processed kind of dirty grains over here

525
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 9: compared to other countries. So that's one of the reasons

526
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 9: why our environment is just so inflammatory. Unfortunately, we're living

527
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 9: in a bit of a toxic soup.

528
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: So what our bodies could tolerate back then, we no

529
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: longer can.

530
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 9: Also, the foods that our grandfathers and grandmothers ate were

531
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 9: much cleaner. Maybe there were three to five ingredients in

532
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 9: something you could take even I think it's skittles and

533
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 9: a few other really processed foods, and our grandmas and

534
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 9: grandpas might say, hey, I ate that.

535
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: Back then, it's fine for you.

536
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 9: But today it has ten more ingredients in it to

537
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 9: make it cheaper to process. So we're just eating different

538
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 9: food We're living in this kind of toxic soup. The

539
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 9: processed foods and even our cleaner grains are much more

540
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 9: dirty than they were before.

541
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: When people call PhD weight loss if they want to

542
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: start a serious commitment about getting healthy and learning about themselves,

543
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: and how they lose weight and how they metabolize food.

544
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: What do you recommend? What's the first thing?

545
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: What do they need to have in their head, in

546
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: their minds? What do they need to know when they

547
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,760

621
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: the individuals involved in that scene. You know that book

622
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: and that film that's called Flags of Her Father's It

623
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 3: was a book, a New York Times bestseller authored by

624
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 3: James Bradley and made it in a film back in

625

00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: written out now. And mister Bradley, thanks a lot for

630
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: your time this morning.

631
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 4: Hello, good to be here, Chris.

632
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: If I may linger a little bit with your first

633
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 3: out of the ballpark home run, I've never spoken with

634
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: you before, So I'm just curious. That must be quite

635
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: a satisfying thing one to write a book that does

636
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: so well unto itself, but then someone like Eastwood takes

637
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: a hold of it and launches it into another stratosphere.

638
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: What was that experience?

639
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 10: I kind of thought that that book wrote itself because

640
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 10: my dad died in nineteen ninety four and he had

641
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 10: never talked about iwo Jima.

642
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 4: And then he left the.

643
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 10: Box of secrets he used to get mail and just

644
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 10: toss it in the box of it was Ewogima.

645
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 4: So like sediment Terry Rocks.

646
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 10: There were all these letters, you know, two letters from

647
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 10: John Wayne asking my dad for his autograph, letters from

648
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 10: every president since Harry Truman. I and the characters were

649
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,239
Speaker 10: just so compelling in this book. And then you know,

650
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 10: it's a photo of six guys, and no one had

651
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 10: ever called the six families and asked them what happened.

652
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 10: Nobody had ever done that in all those decades. So

653
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 10: I picked up the phone, called them all wrote it

654
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 10: down in the book.

655
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: Was Flags of our fathers.

656
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 3: Fascinating And so you weren't really surprised then that the

657
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: American public, and really globally people would have an appetite

658
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 3: for that story.

659
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 10: Well, this sounds braggadocio, But The New York Times wrote

660
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 10: an article after the book came out documenting that I

661
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 10: pitched this as a New York Times number one bestseller.

662
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 10: I used to tell publishers, hey, I can write a

663
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 10: bad book and this will be number one.

664
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 4: It's the number one photo in history.

665
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 10: You can go to the villages of Nepal or Cambodia

666
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 10: and show the picture and everybody knows the photo. And

667
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 10: I was the only one who knew the stories of

668
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 10: the guys behind in the photo. So I said, this

669
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 10: is going to be New York Times number one, no problem,

670
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 10: and no, no, no. Twenty seven publishers turned me down. Really,

671
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 10: I pitched Flags of our Fathers for two years and

672
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 10: they said, no way. You know you're not an author.

673
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 10: You don't know what you're talking about. And I said,

674
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 10: you guys, this photo is in people's bedrooms and bathrooms

675
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 10: and living rooms, and it's all over the world. This

676
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 10: is going to be number one. So I'm on record

677
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 10: as predicting it.

678
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 3: In fact, that scene, you're correct in saying that not

679
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 3: only is it iconic and everyone knows it and many

680
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: have it framed and hanging on their office walls or

681
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: their home walls. It's also a scene that people will

682
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: try to replicate in different periods in history. Coming to

683
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: mind is nine to eleven. I felt like maybe some

684
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 3: of the firefighters were trying to replicate that to a degree.

685
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: In the rubble of nine to eleven.

686
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 4: July fourth Parades. It'll be replicated.

687
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 10: It's the single reproduced photo in the history of photography.

688
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 10: When you talk about the statue at Arlington, which my

689
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 10: dad posed for his acne, is in.

690
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 4: That, you know on his face. I sat there and.

691
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 10: Watched Chinese tourists get out of buses and then go

692
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 10: to the gift shop and buy photos of it, Like

693
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 10: what are they doing with these photos in China? I

694
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 10: hitchhiked around the world when I was twenty one, and

695
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 10: you know, I had a copy of the photo and

696
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 10: I would show it to like bare feet Nepalese kids

697
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 10: and they said America. They did maybe didn't know as

698
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 10: Vietnam or World War one or World War two or

699
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 10: Iwo Jima or whatever, but that is a symbol of America.

700
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 3: Have you been and forgive my ignorance if the answer

701
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 3: is yes, I know Precious Freedom is the new book.

702
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: Have you written Beyond These and Flags of Our Fathers?

703
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: Or have you been working on Precious Freedom for a while.

704
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 4: Boy, you've got a lot of reading to do.

705
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: Chris, I apologize. I do apologize. I read a lot.

706
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 2: I just yeah, okay.

707
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: Flags of Our Fathers was my first book.

708
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 10: Bob, your producer, and I were talking about my second book, Flyboys.

709
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 10: I took George Herbert Walker Bush back to Japan and

710
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 10: introduced him to the Japanese who were going to cut

711
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 10: off his head and then barbecue James.

712
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I remember this now, and I forgive me.

713
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 3: Bob and I were even talking a little about that.

714
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 3: I am sorry Flyboys. I do recall so you and

715
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 3: George H. W. Bush, Yes, forgive me. Would you please

716
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: talk about that book a bit as well?

717
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 10: Well, it's just it's fly Boys. It's about World War Two.

718
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 10: George Bush was shot down. The Japanese were going to

719
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 10: eat his liver like they did eight other aviators, and

720
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 10: he got rescued in an accident of fate. But he

721
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 10: didn't know what happened to those eight other guys till

722
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 10: I told him years years later. He didn't believe me,

723
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 10: but I had the top secret papers.

724
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 4: Now you got to give Bob a raise for bringing

725
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: this up to you first.

726
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 10: And then I wrote, and then I wanted to know.

727
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,760
Speaker 10: I wanted to know why was my dad and George

728
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 10: Herbert Walker Bush out there in these Japanese islands, you know, historically?

729
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 10: So I went back and I wrote The Imperial Cruise,

730
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 10: which shows how Theodore Roosevelt got us out to the Pacific.

731
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 10: And then I wrote The China Mirage about how Franklin

732
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 10: Roosevelt got us into World War Two in Asia. And

733
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 10: then after writing all these books as a Pacific historian,

734
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 10: I thought I have to do Vietnam because I was

735
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 10: thirteen years old in nineteen sixty seven when my brother

736
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 10: enlisted in the United States Marines. So I was watching

737
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 10: Walter Cronkite everything about Vietnam. Two years later, my brother

738
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 10: came home all shot up, almost dead, and I wondered

739
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 10: what happened. And I went back and it took me over.

740
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 10: This was ten years i'd lived in Vietnam. I didn't

741
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 10: fly into Vietnam to do some research. I had to

742
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 10: go live there because it's so different. When you see

743
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 10: this book Precious Freedom, it's so different than.

744
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,800
Speaker 4: The American take.

745
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 10: They and the Vietnamese eventually said to me, mister Bradley,

746
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 10: would you like to.

747
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 4: Meet this famous sniper? And I said yeah. So I

748
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 4: go in this house.

749
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 10: And it's a sixty five year old female history teacher

750
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 10: pouring me tea.

751
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 4: She's a famous sniper.

752
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 10: And she had a comb, you know those Elvis Presley

753
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 10: plastic combs from the sixties. She had a comb and

754
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 10: that was dropped by the marine who killed her father.

755
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 10: A marine shot her father, and as he did, a

756
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 10: comb popped out, and she had picked it up later

757
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 10: and she showed it to me. Well, I traced that

758
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 10: comb back to Minnesota, found the marine who shot the father,

759
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 10: and I knit the store together. It's a story of

760
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 10: a Vietnamese family and a family from Minnesota and how

761
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 10: they're intertwined. And it's like just amazing. But I'm the

762
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 10: only author. I'm the only author, American author who ever

763
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 10: went back to Vietnam and asked the winners, how did

764
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 10: you win? All of the three hundred and four hundred

765
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 10: books about Vietnam, Chris are about how we could have won.

766
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 10: We could have won if only the pres didn't give up,

767
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,240
Speaker 10: or if only LBJ had turned left or right mac namara.

768
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 4: The books are all about.

769
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 10: How we were superior, We had the best military in

770
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 10: the world, and we would have won, but we didn't.

771
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 10: I caddied for Vince Lombardi. You know, it was win

772
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 10: or lose, black or white. So I went to Vietnam.

773
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 10: They won, and I.

774
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 4: Just asked a simple question, how did you guys win?

775
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 10: And it was ten years of asking that question and

776
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 10: this book, Precious Freedom, Well, I'll give you one last line.

777
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 10: Oliver Stone, a veteran of Vietnam, the Great filmmaker, said

778
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 10: that if America knew what Bradley reveals about what happened

779
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 10: in nineteen sixty nine, not nineteen.

780
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 4: Seventy five when the Helica.

781
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 10: But if Americans knew what Bradley reveals happened in nineteen

782
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 10: sixty nine in Vietnam, American mothers would have never sent

783
