His book have been published in eight languages, 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: won numerous awards. You may have also seen him on 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: the History Channel. He was on History's Greatest Mysteries hosted 9 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: by Lawrence Fishburn, and also The Unexplained with William Shatner 10 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: hosting Today, We've got a new book to talk about. 11 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: Realm of Ice and Sky, triumph Tragedy, and History's Greatest 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: Arctic Rescue. Welcome to the fifty five KRC Morning Show, 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 1: Buddy Lovey. It's a pleasure to have you on today. 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: Sir Ryan, great to be with you. 15 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: Answer me this. This has been puzzling me for a 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 1: lot of years, and you make like, okay, you got 17 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: more you need, You got too much time on your hands. 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: But I've seen a number of documentaries about polar travel 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 1: North Pole, South Pole and the period in time when 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: these adventures were made, these daring trips into frozen wastelands. 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: What in the hell prompted people to want to seek 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: the polls and put their literally their lives in peril 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: to do it. Did they have that bad home life 24 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: or something. 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 3: That's a great question. Well it was multi pronged, really. 26 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 3: I mean, part of it was initially discovery, trying to 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: find out what was there, because early expeditions, we still 28 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: didn't know what was at the top and bottom of 29 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 3: the world. Certainly these were added to fame, fortune, and 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 3: immortality because if you were the ones who could discover 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: make these discoveries, then there were lucrative book tours and 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: lecture tours, and you would also often you know, become 33 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: feted in your own country. And so there was also 34 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: a nationalistic pride to it. I mean, many countries were 35 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: buying for the polls, so there was a lot of 36 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: different reasons. But I mean, I agree, man, these were 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: such daunting expeditions that it's hard to imagine now putting 38 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: yourself in such. 39 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: Peril, it really is. That's what's always puzzled me, isid 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: these guys had to have hated their wives or something. 41 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: I mean, this is just that craft crazy anyway, it 42 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: was widely reported. At least I think you've solved the 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: mystery on this. Who got there first? Doctor Frederick Cook 44 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: claimed to have made it to the North Pole in 45 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: nineteen o eight, and then a year later, as I understand, 46 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: Robert Perry made the claim that he had seen the 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: North Pole first. But what did you uncover in Realm 48 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: of Ice and Sky, the book you've just released. 49 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's been arguments about this ongoing since 50 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: the early nineteen hundreds when Cook and Perry first made 51 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 3: the claims, but subsequently their records were found to be 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: either altered or fabricated. And so when Dominson the Norwegian 53 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 3: went over the pole in an airship in nineteen twenty 54 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: six with the Italian Umberto noble A, he made what 55 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: is now considered and at least I find this to 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: be true, the first confirmed reaching. 57 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: Of the North Pole. 58 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: And so you know, like I said, there was fame 59 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: and immortality were involved, and egos were involved, and so 60 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: there were lots of there was fabrication, and so you know, 61 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: it ended up being this kind of ongoing argument and counterclaims, 62 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: and it was national and international news for years and years. 63 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: Well, these were these folks that you talk about in 64 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: the book Roland Aminson and Walter Wellman, they flew to 65 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: the North Pole in a blimp right airship. 66 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 5: That's correct. 67 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: And Wellman, interestingly was an American from Ohio who was 68 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 3: the first to try and it was really I liken 69 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: it to the first astronauts. I mean, these guys were 70 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: called aeronauts. And Wellman was trying this in craft that 71 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: were untested. In fact, nineteen oh seven, nineteen oh eight, 72 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 3: he went up there to Spallbar, this archipelago north of Norway, 73 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: halfway between Norway and North Pole, and gets in one 74 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty five foot hydrogen filled dirigible or blimp 75 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: we call him now, and with a you know, a 76 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: pretty small motor on it and tries to fly one 77 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: thousand miles to the North Bowle and what could possibly 78 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 3: go wrong? 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 4: You know? 80 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: Right? 81 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 3: And so yeah, these guys were you know, Wellman was 82 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 3: really really brave and he and only a couple of 83 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 3: other guys were getting into these craft which had, like 84 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 3: I say, never before even been tested. I mean there 85 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: were they had been sit in uh in France and 86 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: tested in other places, but not in the Arctic. So 87 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 3: it was really a pioneering and courageous effort that you 88 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 3: just have to marvel at the courage of these men. 89 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: And you know, some claimed at the time courage and 90 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 3: suicidal tendency. 91 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Yes, really, it's the first thing that went through my mind. 92 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: Untested aircraft and and and and going into frozen wastelines. 93 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: And I presume at times the wind had to kick 94 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: up pretty dramatically. So if you just got a little 95 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: tiny motor and you're floating around and basically what is 96 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 1: a balloon? I mean, how do you keep yourself on course? 97 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: Would be a question I would have before I went 98 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: up in the thing. 99 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 3: Right, So you're you're hoping for the winds to be 100 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: in your favor, and there were, you know, lots of 101 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 3: study about what the winds were doing in that part 102 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: of the world at these times. But you're absolutely right. 103 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 3: Wellman and his crew were buffeted around and blown in circles, 104 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: and they had a number of devices that they had 105 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 3: used Wellman device to try to keep them on course, 106 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: including these long cables that had hooks on the ends 107 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 3: and weights and there were you know, being they were 108 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 3: a five hundred feet long, they could help keep them 109 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: tethered to the ice. But again this was all rather rudimentary, 110 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 3: and for context, you know, the Wright brothers in nineteen 111 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: oh three had only recently been testing the airplane. So 112 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: one of the things I found really intriguing about this 113 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: story was that while Wellman was trying this, the airplane 114 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 3: and the airship were both buying for supremacy of the skies, 115 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 3: and so no one really quite knew whether the airship, 116 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: dirigible blimp whatever you want to call it, was going 117 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: to defeat the airplane, and so it was a really 118 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 3: open question, and that part is quite compelling. 119 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: Well, in any of these various airship of dirigible blimp trips, 120 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: did they land once they got to what would be 121 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: known as the actual North Pole or do they just 122 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: take photographs from above? 123 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: Well, that's a really great question. Sometimes they land in unintentionally, 124 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 3: which is called crashing. But when by the time all 125 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 3: Amansen and Nobuley get into the fray, it's about sixteen 126 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: years after Wellman and they are able to definitively photograph 127 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: above the North Pole. And photograph, I mean they fly 128 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 3: all the way from Spalbard north of Norway to across 129 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: the polar see across the North Pole to Teller Alaska 130 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 3: and make a kind of dramatic crash landing there, though 131 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: they all survive, and so yeah, it's a good question. 132 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: The plan had been in a number of these expeditions 133 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: to try it's a great question to try to land, 134 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: to try to lower people down, either from the hovering 135 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: craft or kind of like landing on the Moon, or 136 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: to land tether there and then get out and do 137 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 3: some scientific study on the ice. But conditions up there 138 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 3: were never really conducive to making intentional landings, and so 139 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: you do have a lot of drama in this story 140 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: about crash landings. 141 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, well it was I wanted to gravitate over to 142 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: a specific illustration that what is described as the disaster 143 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: of the Italia. 144 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: Right. 145 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, So after Amunsen and Nobela, this Italian airship designer 146 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 3: make a somewhat successful flight in twenty six for National 147 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 3: Pride Nobila, who decides to do it with an almost 148 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: exclusively Italian crew, and he makes it to the North Pole, 149 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: but on the way back it's can incredibly like a 150 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: kind of hurricane and winds, and so they end up 151 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: crashing on the ice and a number of people perish. 152 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: It's very dramatic. The dirigible. You know, the control car 153 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 3: sheers away from the bottom of this dirigible. Many men 154 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 3: are left on the ice and the others float away 155 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: above them and are gone. 156 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: Into the mist. 157 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: And then Noblay and these nine other men are left 158 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 3: on a floating ice flow for about six weeks, with. 159 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 6: No one knowing exactly where they are. 160 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 3: And it's really it's one of the most dramatic rescues 161 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 3: in archaic history. 162 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 4: And it's just incredible. 163 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: How in the hell were they found? I mean, I 164 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: presume maybe you can correct me if I'm wrong, that 165 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: they had no way of communicating.

That's what he does in 262 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 8: the Tesla car where he tells engineers to take out 263 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 8: so many parts, reducing it that it can't run. They 264 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 8: got to put something back in. So the Tesla has 265 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 8: about ten thousand parts in the ford, as I think 266 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 8: it's thirty or forty thousand parts in a ford, and 267 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 8: so that runs across. He sold all his homes, six homes, 268 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 8: for like one hundred and twenty million dollars, and he. 269 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 6: Believes in minimis lifestyle. 270 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 8: At the same time, once that guy moved into mar 271 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 8: Alago for a few weeks with Trump, I imagine Trump 272 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 8: was wondering, is he ever going to leave? He does 273 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 8: stay in the lap of luxury with friends. 274 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: Well, with friends, they've invited him into their multimillion hour 275 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: of dollar homes. Not his. Yea, he lives in a 276 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: tiny house, doesn't he is? Does he own? 277 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 8: It's this forty thousand dollars foldable house that he rents 278 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 8: that SpaceX bought from this company that specializes in it, 279 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 8: and it's a you know, it's just a tiny little thing. 280 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 8: And when he's in town for SpaceX launches and stuff, 281 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 8: he'll stay there. 282 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: Well, and as you you point out in the book, 283 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: he adheres to this eighty twenty rule. The perception is 284 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: that eighty percent of the work done by twenty percent 285 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: of the staff, which he proved when he acquired X 286 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: And in his motivation for acquiring it, I don't think 287 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: was to make himself any better or anything, but it 288 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: was in the name of freedom of speech, which he 289 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: holds dearly. 290 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 8: But getting rid of that was the most amazing thing, Brian, 291 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 8: because this guy's an adopted American, right, you know that 292 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 8: that a third of America Americans, they believe that hate 293 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 8: speech is so bad that it's more important to prevent 294 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 8: hate speech and stop it than it is to have 295 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 8: free speech. And another third of Americans not sure. 296 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 6: That's terrible. 297 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 8: But Elon Musk, because he is an adopted American, he 298 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 8: has the zeal of the convert right, and he loves 299 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 8: the First Amendment and lesson six in my book, it's 300 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 8: one lesson per chapter is free speech is everything stand 301 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 8: up and be heard. Not enough of us stood up 302 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 8: and pushed back when the nation was tilted toward craziness 303 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 8: for the last four years or even longer if you 304 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 8: want to trace back to Obama in the eight years 305 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 8: there and free speech and he really believes in it, 306 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 8: and it's cost him dearly. You have no other entrepreneur 307 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 8: Brian puts billions of dollars of his own money into 308 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 8: a new venture. That's that's for other people to do that. 309 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 8: You use other people's money. But he took I think 310 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 8: it was twenty five billion of the forty four billion 311 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 8: he paid for Twitter came out of his own pocket. 312 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 8: And it was down sixty percent after a year, and 313 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 8: all the media said he's destroying it. And today don't 314 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 8: you think it's one of the most important media platforms 315 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 8: in the world. 316 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 4: It is. 317 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: And we just had a terrible illustration of the of 318 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: why you I mean, we need to protect free speech. 319 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 1: And all speech is protected in the United States, including 320 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,239 Speaker 1: idiot Nazis on a bridge and Evendell here locally, and 321 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, you got to defend the rights of individuals 322 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: to peaceably congregate as well as has spread their message. 323 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: But the great thing about that is when you have 324 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: free speech and people espouse craziness, you can call them 325 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: out on it. And the left, in their right their 326 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: constant narrative that they're right and all of these woke 327 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: ideological rules are right, and that's the only thing that 328 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: can be projected prevents alternative thought from being interjected into 329 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: the exchange. So logic and reason can rule today. So 330 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: you got to put up with stupid messages. But that's 331 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: where you find out where the stupid people. 332 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 8: Are exactly, And instead of trying to limit and muzzle 333 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 8: bad speech, simply drown it out with more of your own, 334 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 8: really really good. 335 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 4: Speech, you know. 336 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 8: I mean, it's just awful that are politicians on both 337 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 8: sides of the parties. 338 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 6: You know, there's the Twitter files. 339 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 8: I was the journalist with more than thirty years the 340 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 8: biggest scandal I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, and 341 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 8: the Twitter files, And I wonder, where the hell is 342 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 8: the media? Why aren't they more upset about this? I 343 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 8: did more columns on the Twitter files and the scandal 344 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 8: of government suppression of the First Amendment rights of thousands 345 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 8: and millions of people. I did more stories than the 346 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 8: New York Times in Washington Posts combined. And then you 347 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 8: see what they're doing with dough and you see millions 348 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 8: of dollars in payments to journalistic outfit. I think they 349 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 8: said to something like six thousand journalists getting some kind 350 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 8: of money from USAID. And you suddenly wonder where you 351 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 8: bought off? Is that why you said nothing didn't care. No, 352 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 8: they didn't care because it was conservative speech. But the 353 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 8: Trump administration Brian. They requested during their reign the fifty 354 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 8: five hundred accounts be silenced. So Republicans and Democrats alike 355 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 8: will stifle speech if we let them, if I let them. 356 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 8: Elon Musk has just blown a huge hole in that 357 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 8: effort to stifle speech. 358 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: Dennis Near, the author the leadership genius of Elon Musk, 359 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 1: I think, if I could read the concept of this 360 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,399 Speaker 1: book correctly, you wrote it not just for everybody, but 361 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: it seems that you wrote it for entrepreneurs, business people, 362 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: folks that are trying to improve the function of their 363 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: own business and bring about some greater success for themselves. 364 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 8: Bingo, absolutely, because I really think even though he operates 365 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 8: at a huge scale, there are lessons you can learn. 366 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 8: You know, always bet on yourself and double down. He 367 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 8: kept doing that again and again and again. It's better 368 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 8: to launch and burn, yeah, than it is never to 369 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 8: launch at all. Find one failure. 370 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 371 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 8: So there's a lot of advice there for anybody trying 372 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 8: to build a better career or build a company. 373 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: Well, and I'm glad you brought up it's better to 374 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: launch than burn and burn than never to launch at all. 375 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: Because I was going to ask you about that, Elon Musk. 376 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: You know, the the rockets always didn't always fly, you know, 377 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: sometimes you send one up and it crashes and burns 378 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: to the ground. Now, some might take experienced shot and 379 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: freuda because they don't like Elon Musk for some reason. 380 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: But he always seemed to take it and stride. He 381 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: would chuckle about it and use that as a learning 382 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 1: opportunity exactly. 383 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 8: You know, you have you know, I had a devastating 384 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 8: I was fired from Fox Business Network in fifteen minutes. Notice, 385 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 8: security guard escorted me out out of the office. You'll 386 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 8: pick up We'll ship your stuff to you. I mean, 387 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 8: it was devastating. It was as if I'd slept with 388 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 8: the president's wife or something at the network. And how 389 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 8: you even recover from that, you know, it's kind of tough. 390 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 8: And I forgot where I was going with that, Brian, 391 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 8: in terms of the outcome that came out of that. 392 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 4: Actually I forgot that. 393 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: Point well ahead. You didn't stop. You had a bump 394 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: in the road, you know, And I tell you, in 395 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: my life, the worst things that happened to me have 396 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: turned out to be the most beneficial things. You're like, 397 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: you know, I dated this girl in college and I 398 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: thought I was in love with her. It didn't work 399 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: out in law and behold, I ended up meeting my 400 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: now ofilly thirty three years in June wife in law school, 401 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: and I was like, man, I look back, and I think, 402 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: how miserable would I be as a human being had 403 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: that quote relationships quote unquote worked out. 404 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 8: We have to learn that even in the most horrible 405 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 8: things that happened to us in our lives, good. 406 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 6: Things can come out of them. 407 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 8: When I got escorted out of that building, I met 408 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 8: a few days later with the CEO and I told 409 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 8: him the thing is, I feel awful because I feel 410 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 8: like I failed. 411 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 4: And he said to me, you haven't failed, you learned. 412 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 6: And that's exactly. 413 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 8: How Elon looks at every failure. 414 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 6: You know, the space that's. 415 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 8: Took, you know, a couple dozen explosions covered heavily in press, 416 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 8: laughing at him, making fun of them, and every time 417 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 8: they gained thousands of new insights and made hundreds of 418 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 8: changes to the next iteration. Just fix it on a fly, 419 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 8: keep going, keep going, and just I love that about him. Yeah, 420 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 8: the guy could have left after his first twenty five 421 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 8: million dollar score, and he just kept going. 422 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: He kept going. And now that's the last best hope 423 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: for those stranded astronauts. Apparently we need to rely on 424 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: Elon Musk to get him back because apparently Bone's not 425 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 1: capable of doing it. Now, I want you to dive 426 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 1: on into this because some people may not know this 427 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: about Elon Musk, but his philosophy of life drives a 428 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: lot of his decision making. And so let's talk about this. 429 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: All may be fake, so just go for it. 430 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 6: Yes, I love this part. 431 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 8: And the publisher, the wonderful Harper Collins Broadside Books, kind 432 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 8: of warned me, you know, you may not want to 433 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 8: lead with that because it's so weird. But Elon truly 434 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 8: believes I think he truly believes this. That the odds 435 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 8: are billions to one in favor of the idea that 436 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 8: right now, even as we speak, we are living inside 437 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 8: one or more massive computer simulations operated by someone else, 438 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 8: somewhere else, maybe in another time. 439 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: And at the more I. 440 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 8: Started to look into this, the more I came to 441 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 8: things that it's actually quite plausible. Yes, exactly like the 442 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 8: matrix I mean, if we look at how pong and 443 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 8: this is the explanation. 444 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 6: Elon uses me. 445 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 8: Look at pong, two little paddles and a ball and 446 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 8: a black screen against it. I played against and that 447 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 8: was only fifty years ago. And you look at where 448 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 8: we are now, where you're down in the three d Mays, 449 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,880 Speaker 8: and it looks so super realistic. The thought that ten 450 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 8: thousand years from now you could have a simulation so good. 451 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 6: You don't even know it. 452 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 8: That's entirely believable. But then you think that the Earth. 453 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: Is almost four billion years old, that. 454 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 8: Means you have something like four hundred thousand different sets 455 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 8: of ten thousand years. Well, really, in four hundred thousand 456 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 8: different chances of ten thousand years, we've never made it 457 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 8: to that advance thing. It's only in the next ten 458 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 8: thousand years that we'll get there. 459 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 9: I don't know. 460 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 8: Maybe it is a little simulated, But then what it 461 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 8: does for us is if you think it might be plausible, 462 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 8: was that you live louder, you love out loud, you 463 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 8: take that job that you're too afraid to take because 464 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 8: there's too much risk there. You say that thing in 465 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 8: a meeting because you're feeling like everyone's going in the 466 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 8: wrong direction because you no longer are going to stay 467 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 8: clients because what the heck? 468 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 6: It all may be a game anyway. 469 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a real wild way of looking at it, 470 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: you know. And it's one of my favorite quotes. And 471 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: it's interesting because I just put it up the other 472 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: day because one of my friends had said, what's your 473 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: favorite quote? I said, twenty years from now, you'll be 474 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by 475 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: the ones you did. So throw off the bow line, 476 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds 477 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 1: in your sales, Explore, dream, discover from the famous Mark Twain. 478 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: And I've kind of tried to live by that philosophy 479 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: of my life and sounds to me like Elon Musks 480 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: as well, and I have before we part company. That 481 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: fascinating conversation and just a fascinating man he is. And 482 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: I appreciate you writing this book as a you know, 483 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: sort of a guideline for folks in business, most notably 484 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 1: but going back to Starlink and how massive the growth is. 485 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: And I think that desire to build this independent satellite 486 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: network also springs from his embracing freedom and liberty, you know, 487 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: Verizon or the government might flip the switch and shut 488 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: your cell phone off. But there's Elon Musk with a backup, 489 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: sure enough. 490 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 8: And you know, I think he sees a synergy among 491 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 8: these businesses that the rest of us don't see. You know, 492 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 8: the Startlink satellite network. Brian guides in Tesla cars, right, 493 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 8: and then his EXAI engine ends up ingesting all of 494 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 8: the data from Tesla cars. It's able to ingest the 495 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 8: six thousand tweets put up every second on the X 496 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 8: platform and get smarter and smarter and smarter. He's got 497 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 8: the Olympus robot inside Tesla where one day you might 498 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 8: be able to take an arm from the Olympus robot, 499 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 8: attach it to an amputee and with the brain chip 500 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 8: company's got neuralink, you know, the ampute could operate the 501 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 8: arm just by thinking about it. And you know we 502 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 8: think that, oh, he wants to chip for a quadrant pleague. 503 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:03,719 Speaker 6: It's no, no. 504 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,239 Speaker 8: He thinks in twenty years, thirty years, millions of us 505 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 8: well walking around with these chips in our heads to 506 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 8: talk faster to AI. So it all fits together, and 507 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 8: it's just an incredible vision that really he has no 508 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 8: right to have it all. 509 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 6: It's just absolutely crazy. 510 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 8: And yet if you were playing a video game, you'd say, well, 511 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 8: what the heck, why not? 512 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? All that frightens the hell out of me. Though, 513 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: I got to be honest with you, Dennis, I like 514 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: be sad if it were a game. 515 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 8: You know, I feel like this is life, this is real. 516 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 8: Tomorrow we'll right. 517 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 4: Here, you know. Yeah. 518 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more on that component, but just the 519 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: idea that all that data is being gathered up, and 520 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm a privacy fan. I hate the hoovering up of data. 521 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: That's why I recommend my listeners data hell away from TikTok. 522 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: Is that just benefits the Chinese Communist Party, and they're 523 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 1: hoovering up of data, but at least knowing who Elon 524 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 1: Musk is and this doesn't offer me is much comfort. 525 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: But he seems to be wanting that data to advance 526 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 1: and help us, as opposed to use against us, which 527 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: is the antithesis of what tiktoks difference. 528 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 8: And now he's being demonized like crazy by the media, 529 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 8: by the Democrats, by Rhino Republicans, and suddenly Kee's publican 530 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 8: I mean number one, even more so than Trump and 531 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 8: they're just trying to take him down. 532 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 6: What are they so afraid of? 533 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 8: Why don't we all step back and just take a 534 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 8: gander and watch what this guy does. I mean, you know, 535 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 8: if it is a simulation, you don't make a simulation 536 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 8: for boring outcomes, right. Elon has another lesson lesson eleven. 537 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 8: My book is is you know, the most the most 538 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 8: likely outcome in life is the most entertaining, one of 539 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 8: the most ironic and opposite of what you expected. 540 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 6: And look how entertaining life is. 541 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 8: Ventilately Oh my goodness, this it has. 542 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: We live in interesting times and he makes them far 543 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 1: more interesting. And he's the best troll on the internet 544 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 1: when it comes to cowing out his clothes at Dennis 545 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: Neil a real pleasure having on the morning shore. Thank 546 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: you for spending time by listeners to me this morning. 547 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: Your book is now available on my blog page fifty 548 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: five Krsey dot com The leadership genius of Elon Musk. 549 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: If you're a business person, get a copy, but everyone's 550 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: welcome to read it and learn by it.

I'm happy to welcome to the fifty five 555 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: Cassey Morning Show doctor Charles Kamara, author of the book 556 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: We're going to be talking about Mission out of Control 557 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: and Astronaut's Odyssey to fix high risk organizations and prevent tragedy. 558 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: He is, as the book suggests, and astronaut. What a 559 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: cool thing to say. You are research engineer and venor author, educator, 560 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: Internationally recognized expert and invited speaker on subjects regarding engineering, engineering, design, innovation, safety, 561 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: organizational behavior and education.

He 564 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: retired from NASA and May twenty nineteen after forty five 565 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: years of continuous research. As our continuous service as a 566 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: research engineer technical manager at Langley Research Center, who's Director 567 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: of Engineering at Johnson Space Center, Senior Advisor for Innovation 568 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: and Engineering and Development at Langley. Welcome to the Morning Show, 569 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: Doctor Kimarta. It is a pleasure to have you on today. 570 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 6: Good morning, Briant. Thanks for having me. 571 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I got it. Being an astronaut. To me, 572 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: that's just fascinating, and you probably won't. You're a very 573 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: small slice of the entire population. I'm just kind of 574 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: wondering whether you would rather be referred to as astronaut 575 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: doctor Charles Kermonda or doctor Astronaut Charles Kermona, because I 576 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: would always want to put that in when I was 577 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: introducing myself. 578 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 6: You know, Brian, most people call me Charlie. 579 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: There you go, well, Charles mission, out of control, astronauts, 580 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: honesty to fit the high risk organization and prevent tragedy. 581 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: First off, what I think I have an understanding as 582 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: to why what prompted you to write this book before 583 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: we start talking about what the book is intended to do. 584 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 10: Well, as you. 585 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 11: Said, I worked for NASSA for over forty five years 586 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 11: and it was an amazing organization when I was a 587 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 11: young researcher at Mass aligned with but it changed it 588 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,719 Speaker 11: watched it way. We stopped doing real applied research. We 589 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 11: started becoming a production organization, especially on the human space 590 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 11: flight side, and we started just looking at operating vehicles 591 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 11: and flying them in space, and we lost our touch 592 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 11: with our research routs and we lost our capability to 593 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 11: actually understand when we had critical problems. 594 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: So am I correct to understand? You were on the 595 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: team that led the investigation why the Columbia Space shuttle 596 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: blew up. 597 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 11: Well, I didn't lead the team. I led one of 598 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 11: the teams that was investigating the technical cause of the problem, 599 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 11: and that was the impact. And we use some of 600 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 11: my good friends Matt Mellis and some of Kelly Carney 601 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 11: and some of the great people at Glenn Research Center 602 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 11: right there in Cleveland. 603 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, when I was reading through the materials, I 604 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: did write Boeing down here because Boeing has been plagued 605 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: with problems. They make the planes, but they don't you know, 606 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: like for example, what they are pilots know, they change 607 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: the software they have, you know, the poor performance in 608 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: terms of manufacturing. They have a product, but they have 609 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: breakdowns in manufacturing that obviously can lead and have led 610 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 1: to the loss of life. Is that sort of an 611 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: illustration of the of the like a company to whom 612 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: you would focus this book or directed their attention to 613 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: this book. 614 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 11: Absolutely, a lot of companies. 615 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 6: It's a very similar problem. 616 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 11: Because what we learned after the Columbia accident was that 617 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 11: the primary cause of the of the of the accident 618 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 11: was the culture. And what you saw after the seven 619 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 11: point thirty seven MAX accidents with Boeing is they came 620 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 11: to the same conclusion. Boeing lost this way, just like 621 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 11: National loss this way, technical excellence was no longer and 622 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 11: safety were no longer the key primary focus of the organization. 623 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 11: It got bobbed down with the bottom line, market share 624 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 11: profits very similar but different reasons, became very focused on 625 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 11: production schedule and budget and keeping the programs alive, and 626 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 11: it's become a loaded bureaucracy. And what I realized, what 627 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 11: I learned in the research writing the book, is that 628 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,920 Speaker 11: what other people missed was there's a difference between technical excellence, 629 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 11: technical people, good engineers, and what I called research engineers. 630 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 11: And so I described the elements that make up a 631 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 11: good research, a good learning organization like what Boeing used 632 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 11: to be, just like NASA was, and how that could 633 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 11: lead to a very toxiculture which becomes psychologically unsafe. People 634 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 11: are afraid to speak up, and then bad things happened 635 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 11: and the accidents recur, just like Challenger and Columbia. 636 00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned bottom line profit share and market share 637 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: and profit all being primary drivers and to the exclusion 638 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: of perhaps this intense focus on prep safety. But on 639 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: a similar note, I kind of think that maybe, like 640 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 1: if you look at DEI departments, they're focused on culture, 641 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: and they're focused on social issues and issues that transcend 642 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: any given companies primary focus, which would be should be 643 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: providing a quality product and or service to their customers. 644 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: Is that another form of sort of a lack of 645 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: focus or improper direction that we could point to. 646 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 11: Well, diversity is good, right, It helps us create, It 647 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 11: helps us come with very innovative solutions. But DEI and 648 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 11: quotas and getting away from merit talkers. Yeah, you know, 649 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 11: a good research organization is knowledge is key, and you 650 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 11: have deference to the people that have that expertise, and 651 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 11: you always have to develop those skills and maintain those standards. 652 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: Well, are you concerned about the state of education in 653 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 1: the United States because we seem to be turning out 654 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,720 Speaker 1: young people who just are taught to the test, but 655 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: not taught to critically think. I mean, it's one of 656 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: the reasons why I love law school so much, because 657 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: it was a socratic method that back and forth and 658 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: that delving down and looking into and analyzing, you know, 659 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 1: in that particular case, different areas of law, but it 660 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: was a wonderful teaching method. We don't seem to be 661 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: teaching children logic and reason anymore? Is there a shortage 662 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: of that? Is that part of the cultural problem here? 663 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 11: You're absolutely correct. When I was reassigned at mathif was 664 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 11: speaking up, I started diving into how do we train 665 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 11: our young engineers and education in general around the United States. 666 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, I started a five O 667 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 11: one to three C educational nonprofit clots called the Ethic 668 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 11: Education Foundation, where we used a challenge based learning approach. 669 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:47,360 Speaker 11: And yeah, absolutely correct. Lawyers do this. They think critically, 670 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 11: they look at all different sides of an argument, and 671 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 11: you have this free environment where you could have this discourse. 672 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 11: You can have these disagreements, but you relied on the 673 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 11: facts and the knowledge, and the knowledge was verified by 674 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 11: tests and analysis. 675 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So in in a corporate environment, moving away from 676 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, lawyers, you know talking and advocating on behalf 677 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 1: of their clients and sort of thinking around the different 678 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: challenges they face. But in a corporate environment, I think 679 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,880 Speaker 1: you alluded to it earlier. People have this reluctance to 680 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,320 Speaker 1: hold their hand and say no, no, that's a dumb 681 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: idea because of the you know, am I going to 682 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: lose my job? Am I going to embarrass my boss? 683 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: I can't do that. I'm not going to be the 684 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: one that cheeks up. 685 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 11: That's exactly what you're talking about, a psychological safety. Amianmenson 686 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 11: wrote a book to Feel This organization about this, and 687 00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 11: I talk about this in my book how in a 688 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 11: real a true research culture, a true research environment. This 689 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 11: is this is absolutely critical. And so when I spoke 690 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 11: about my book and culture to the senior executives at 691 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 11: Boeing and I told them how ugly the culture was 692 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 11: and the environment was at NASA's they they their eyes 693 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 11: were wide open. But people will come up to me 694 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 11: and saying, you know what, Charlie, the culture is worse 695 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,279 Speaker 11: at Boeing. And I didn't believe them. But that was 696 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,839 Speaker 11: six months before the first of the first Yon air crash. 697 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 6: Of seven thirty seven, and. 698 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 11: Then six months later you had the Ethiopian Allins crash 699 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 11: and the body cell out of Boeing. And so what 700 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 11: I was trying to tell the Bowie senior executives after 701 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 11: the seven thirty seven crash was that you need to 702 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 11: listen to your people. People are telling you there are 703 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 11: major problems, but their voices are being muted and they're 704 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 11: being canceled. 705 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: Well, part of me, let me ask you this, sir. 706 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: And then again, I guess is astronaut doctor Charles kamarda 707 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 1: Mission out of Control and astronauts Odyssey to Fix High 708 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 1: Risk Organizations and Prevent Tragedies? 709 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 4: Sort of? 710 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: The subtitles suggests high risk organizations? Who did you write 711 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:50,960 Speaker 1: the book for? Was it for the public at large? 712 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: Are you focusing on, you know, corporate culture and your 713 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: leaders and executives within companies. 714 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 11: Originally I focused on it as a way to help 715 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,240 Speaker 11: fix massive but what I realized was when NASA wasn't listening, 716 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 11: there were many organizations that have this very similar problem. 717 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 11: And so the second half of the book I talk 718 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 11: about ways that we could fix this problem, how we 719 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,360 Speaker 11: could use technology, how we could to train people differently, 720 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 11: how we can build what I call these five key 721 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 11: principles of a research culture. 722 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: Well, I guess there's probably, you know, using Boeing as 723 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: an illustration and NASA's an illustration, I would imagine there 724 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: is a different mindset among the employees that in the 725 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: private sector. Yeah, you run the risk of losing your job. 726 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: You run the risk of getting fired for incompetence. But 727 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,879 Speaker 1: I would think in a government environment, you're less likely 728 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: to face any well penalty for maybe not doing work 729 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: or for maybe causing a problem or something. There's a 730 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: sort of a protection element in government jobs. It seems 731 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 1: to not exist in the private sector. Is a distinction 732 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: between them, And along the lines of what you're talking about, it's. 733 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 11: Not really because you know, I spoke up after I 734 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 11: flew in space. I became director of engineering, and when 735 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 11: I saw problems with safety, I spoke up in a 736 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 11: flight readiness review and I was reassigned three days later. 737 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 11: So if you can imagine an astronaut being silenced, it 738 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,680 Speaker 11: can happen to anyone. And while you don't might lose 739 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 11: your job, you might lose your position, you might lose 740 00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 11: your voice, and you're placed in a terrible situation where 741 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,760 Speaker 11: you no longer can do the job that you loved. 742 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 11: People will not treat you the same because you're no 743 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 11: longer you're a piranha, you're a pariah persona non grata. 744 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: Fair enough, well, doctor, Obviously, in the book, you identify 745 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 1: the general concepts we're talking about the problem that we face, 746 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: and I presume that you offer an outline solutions to 747 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,440 Speaker 1: these problems, practical solutions that people in the business world 748 00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: can incorporate. 749 00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 750 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,719 Speaker 11: I have key things for leaders to look for signs 751 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 11: that the culture is going awry. I talk about technical 752 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,439 Speaker 11: use of technology to help us identify when an individual team, 753 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 11: because it only takes one small team to be dysfunctional, 754 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 11: like the team that was working on the ownings or 755 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 11: the team that was analyzing the impact of foam on Columbia. 756 00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 11: You have one dysfunctional team and it could cause a tragedy. 757 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 11: So I highlight several ideas for how do you build 758 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 11: a psychologically safe environment, a knowledge based hier rocky where 759 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 11: you encourage people to fail and learn by failure, and 760 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 11: how you're transparent, how you share information openly and you 761 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 11: encourage competing ideas. 762 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: I love the sound of it. It sounds practical and 763 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: logical and reasonable to me.

I guess you 802 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,040 Speaker 1: realized at some point, since you're a obe jin, that 803 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:05,360 Speaker 1: this vaccine was having a profound impact on and causing 804 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: complications like miscarriages, still bursts, and a lot of other 805 00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: problems from the shots and this was among people and 806 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: I know you point this out in your book, young 807 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: people who really were not vulnerable to succumbing to the disease. 808 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,280 Speaker 1: When did you start noticing a correlation, sir. 809 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,879 Speaker 10: Well in early two thousand. I knew that they had 810 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,640 Speaker 10: targeted pregnant women. I knew that by their actions and 811 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 10: where they were going on, by the history when it. 812 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 7: Was rolled out. 813 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 10: After it was rolled out in twenty twenty one, I 814 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 10: noticed disasters, obstetrical disasters like I've never seen now in 815 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 10: almost forty six years of practice. 816 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,719 Speaker 1: You say targeted. That suggests, you know, a sort of 817 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 1: a nefarious motive. If this is going to happen, If 818 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 1: these these complications, and they're pretty profound ones were no 819 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: own to the so called powers that be, what point 820 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: would there be to force these vaccines recognizing the harm 821 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: that they were. 822 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 4: Going to do. 823 00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 10: Right, ninety nine percent of the people that pushed the vaccine, 824 00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 10: in the government, the hospitals, the pharmacies, they're ignorant and 825 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,120 Speaker 10: they didn't know the agenda. But this is a sinister, evil, 826 00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 10: global go, globalist agenda from the Oral Health Organization. All 827 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 10: the research was there, these vaccines, alleged vaccines failed miserable, 828 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 10: miserably in animal studies, killing and injuring a lot of animals. 829 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 10: These shots were never fit for human use. 830 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: Oh my god, half my listening audience is now gasping 831 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 1: in disbelief because I got the vaccine. You know, my god, 832 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 1: what has it done to me? 833 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 2: Now? 834 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,279 Speaker 1: You were outspoken on this while this was unfolding, while 835 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 1: the vaccine mandates were in place. Did it fall on 836 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,400 Speaker 1: deaf ears? I know you suffered with some repercussis you 837 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: lost your situation over this? 838 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:09,239 Speaker 10: Well, listen, Brian. The three major governing bodies of the 839 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 10: entire world of obgyn are three American organizations, the American 840 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 10: College and Obstetrics and Gynecology, the American Board of Obstetrics 841 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 10: and Gynecology, and the Society for Maternal Field Medicine. They 842 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 10: were all bought off and bribed from the Department of 843 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:29,080 Speaker 10: Health and Human Services in early twenty twenty one. And 844 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 10: by the way, all the hospitals were too. And this 845 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 10: is not speculation, this has proven fact. My research team 846 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 10: has published this. So they threatened sixty thousand obgyn doctors 847 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 10: with their licenses and their accreditations if they didn't follow 848 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 10: the lockstep narrative of AJHS CBC. 849 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,920 Speaker 1: Again, is this like for the purposes of population control? 850 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 1: I mean that immediately comes to mind because I know 851 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: there's a lot of rumor mills out there that the 852 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 1: global want to reduce the population in the world. 853 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,400 Speaker 10: Well, I can't speak to somebody's heart and somebody's motive, 854 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:13,200 Speaker 10: but I think there's very strong evidence as this was 855 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:17,320 Speaker 10: rolled out by the Department of Defense, This was worked 856 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:22,920 Speaker 10: on from twenty ten onwards, with proven with patents and 857 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 10: with publications. But I think that the clue of the 858 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 10: globalists have had a depopulation agenda for over fifty years, 859 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 10: and every administration has vocalized that publicly. 860 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: So this is right. I mean, this is this global 861 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,319 Speaker 1: reality and the fact that these vaccines are rolled out 862 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:43,920 Speaker 1: across the globe and given to people, you know, very 863 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 1: young people and of course pregnant women. This is like, 864 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it reminds me so much of like a 865 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: mango experimentation, but like this was a sort of a 866 00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,960 Speaker 1: global genocide kind of thing. I mean, I'm having a difficulty. 867 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,920 Speaker 1: I'm processing this, this stark reality that you were presenting 868 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 1: to my listening audience, and that is in your book Sacrifice. 869 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,920 Speaker 10: It's very stark, and it's an abomination. It's a spiritual battle. 870 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 10: This was planned and yes, over it's experts estimate over 871 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,319 Speaker 10: a million Americans who were killed and another thirty three 872 00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 10: million were injured, many of them severely. Globally, you're looking 873 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:33,760 Speaker 10: at over six hundred million global citizens who were killed 874 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:38,399 Speaker 10: or injured, and that's from pretty good data. Birth Rates 875 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 10: are declining in every country. 876 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: Yes they are, even China. I know, we're always concerned 877 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 1: about the Chinese Communist Party. However, their birth rates are 878 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: dropping precipitously as well. When you were, when you were 879 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: noticing this and you're, you know, rolling out your findings 880 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: and your conclusions about the COVID nineteen vaccine, you were 881 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: almost a lone voice in the wilderness. Did you have 882 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: conversation with fellow ob jens and were they seeing the 883 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,719 Speaker 1: same thing, and did they have any explanation for why 884 00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,239 Speaker 1: they they too, weren't outspoken and against this. 885 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 10: I did, and they were noticing it, many of them were. 886 00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 10: But really understand, Brian, that the government rolled out trillions 887 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,960 Speaker 10: of dollars to bribe every single thread of the fabric 888 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 10: of our society. Now we're talking about hospitals, every hospital 889 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 10: was given an under the table quid pro quoa contract 890 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 10: that they with millions of dollars. SSM help that fired 891 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,280 Speaker 10: me received three hundred and six point nine million dollars, 892 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 10: and they were charged with the responsibility of enforcing that 893 00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 10: in all of their employees, including their physicians and their patients, 894 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,600 Speaker 10: and if they didn't, they would have to pay that 895 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 10: three hundred and six point nine million dollars back. 896 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: Seems so difficult. I didn't think money negated the hippocratic 897 00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:58,160 Speaker 1: oath doctor. 898 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,719 Speaker 10: It does. And you know, I have more respect now 899 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 10: for many other professionals or trade individuals. I have much 900 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 10: more respect for attorneys now than I do physicians. I've 901 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 10: lost all my respect for physicians. They were all abought. 902 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 10: You never break the gold in the rule of pregnancy. 903 00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 10: And I don't care that the American College of Obstetricians 904 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 10: and Gytecologists dribe sixty thousand obgyn doctors. I don't care 905 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:34,160 Speaker 10: about that. That's no excuse. Your hipocratic oath is sacred. 906 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,839 Speaker 1: Well, that was my understanding. Always do no harm now 907 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 1: it also it seems to me destroying an element of 908 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:46,440 Speaker 1: the practice of medicine generally speaking. You know you're supposed 909 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 1: to be a diagnostician, and you're supposed to exercise your 910 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,799 Speaker 1: medical expertise and come up with perhaps alternative solutions to 911 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 1: the one solution that's being offered. And I know ivermectin 912 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,879 Speaker 1: was pooh poohed by a lot, and we found out 913 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: that that actually had some positive effects on people, and 914 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: they would even fill ivermectin prescriptions at pharmacies. Pharmacies wouldn't 915 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: do it because I guess for the same reasons you're 916 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 1: articulating now, they were worried about losing their pharmacy license. 917 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 10: Yes, absolutely, we published an article six months ago my 918 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,280 Speaker 10: research team, including a very sharp crack attorney Maggie Thorpe 919 00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 10: JD and Yes, GDS and Walgreens took over two billion 920 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 10: dollars to push the draconian COVID nineteen narratives, to push 921 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 10: the vaccines and to gaslight and not fill prescriptions from 922 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:44,880 Speaker 10: physicians for ivermectin or for hydroxy clerkland. And by the way, Brian, 923 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 10: we've been using hydroxy clerk wind in pregnancy, recommended by 924 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:55,400 Speaker 10: the FDA for over forty five years of political practice. 925 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,880 Speaker 10: I've used it in women that have autown indices, so 926 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,840 Speaker 10: it's been used in all trimesters and breastfeeding women safely 927 00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 10: for half a century. 928 00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 1: Wow, And then going back to being the diagnostician me, 929 00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: off label use of drugs occurs all the time, and 930 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: that's sort of what it would be. I know it's 931 00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,759 Speaker 1: for this, but we're going to try it out on 932 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen because some of the research suggests it can 933 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,399 Speaker 1: be beneficial. We know it's safe for you because we've 934 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,600 Speaker 1: been prescribing this medication for decades, and why not give 935 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,200 Speaker 1: it a shot. I mean, physicians do that every single day, 936 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:26,799 Speaker 1: with the exception of this. 937 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 10: You're one hundred percent correct. 938 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: Doctor Thorpe. I guess do you feel in any way 939 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 1: vindicated with the research that's coming out which confirms everything 940 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 1: you're telling my listening audience this morning that you document 941 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:43,799 Speaker 1: and document in the book Sacrifice. 942 00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:49,840 Speaker 10: I feel vindicated, but it's not about me. I feel 943 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:54,719 Speaker 10: I knew I was right from the beginning. It was 944 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 10: anybody could have done the same research I did. I 945 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:02,439 Speaker 10: looked at primarily Pfizer data, in government data. It's yeah, 946 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,160 Speaker 10: I feel vindicated, but this is a horrible tragedy because 947 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,600 Speaker 10: the death and the destruction in the most vulnerable patients. 948 00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 10: My patients globally pregnant women, preborns, and newborns that can 949 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 10: never be taken back, and that hurts. I'm an mpath 950 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:24,000 Speaker 10: and I have suffered greatly in living through this, and 951 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 10: I'll take it to my grave. 952 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 1: Well, we testified in twenty twenty two with Senator Ron Johnson. 953 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 1: Was it on this topic? And if so, I guess 954 00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm kind of wondering what the reaction from the senators 955 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,920 Speaker 1: you were speaking with was they did they dismiss your 956 00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,719 Speaker 1: conclusions and your findings because your background is remarkable. I mean, 957 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,600 Speaker 1: no one can criticize your street credibility with all. I mean, 958 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 1: you reviewed major medical journals when you were with the 959 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,560 Speaker 1: Society of Maternal Feet of Medicine and with American Board 960 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,640 Speaker 1: of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Obviously they had a large measure 961 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: of respect for you. You wouldn't have reached those lofty positions. 962 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:05,719 Speaker 10: Correct The Senator round Johnson and the Senate received very well. 963 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 10: And that's exactly what I testified on in my wheelhouse. 964 00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:14,280 Speaker 10: I testified on the catastrophic effects on the COVID nineteen 965 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:20,799 Speaker 10: alleged vaccine in pregnancy. Absolutely, it was well received well. 966 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,960 Speaker 1: In terms of in this you were talking about, you know, 967 00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: the fetuses, and when the woman who's carrying the babies 968 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,440 Speaker 1: you got the vaccine. Obviously that impacts the fetus. Have 969 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,120 Speaker 1: you been following the broader impacts, because it seems right 970 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: after COVID got real COVID nineteen vaccine I rolled out, 971 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,880 Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of young people in eighteen nineteen 972 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:42,040 Speaker 1: twenty year olds collapsing and having massive heart attacks and 973 00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 1: other complications. Is there a corollarya between the vaccine and 974 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,040 Speaker 1: those incidents? 975 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:51,080 Speaker 10: Absolutely, yes, you know, and I think that many different 976 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 10: experts and experts with very varied fields of expertiefs have 977 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 10: shown that from many different angles the data is irrefutable. 978 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 10: Now there's been an avalanche of data. It's a disaster, 979 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:12,320 Speaker 10: but the band plays on as on the Titanic sinking. 980 00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll have we got bird flu to worry 981 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 1: about now. So there's going to be a bird flu 982 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 1: vaccine rolling out and we need to go I see, 983 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 1: and that this I think probably did a lot of 984 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: damage to the medical profession, of course, and into the 985 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:26,359 Speaker 1: credibility of our government officials. We find all this out 986 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: late in the game, knowing now as we do with 987 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,560 Speaker 1: the documents and the information that's been produced that they 988 00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 1: knew about these complications and problems and yet forced it 989 00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:36,600 Speaker 1: on us. Anyway, if something else really comes down the road, 990 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: another legitimate, you know, pandemic, and let's say they had 991 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,759 Speaker 1: a safe vaccine for it, I think a lot of 992 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,560 Speaker 1: folks are going to take a pass on it because 993 00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 1: their credibility has been shot to hell. 994 00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 10: Absolutely, and you know it should be. And listen, we've 995 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 10: won the battle in the sense of you know, last year, Brian, listen, 996 00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 10: one percent of the American people, one percent of the 997 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,839 Speaker 10: American people took actually took the COVID nineteen vaccine. They 998 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,640 Speaker 10: knew all of these daily ad blitzes from our government 999 00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:14,319 Speaker 10: were lives. So but this is how the government in 1000 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,440 Speaker 10: the history, in world history, this is how the government 1001 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,880 Speaker 10: gains control of the population by fear tactics. I'm on 1002 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 10: the board of directors of the Wellness Company. The Wellness 1003 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 10: Company is a parallel healthcare system, and we are combatting 1004 00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,640 Speaker 10: this H five and one or the avan flu that's 1005 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 10: a gain of function. They've been doing gain of function 1006 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:43,279 Speaker 10: research and we have medications that are combating this. This 1007 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 10: is a company, a privately owned company, it's doing remarkably well. 1008 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 10: We have several medical kits that will provide at home 1009 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 10: life saving prescription drugs, stockpile at home that you need 1010 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:04,640 Speaker 10: because your government doesn't care about killing you or injuring you. 1011 00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,880 Speaker 1: It's just, you know, it's one of those things, Doctor Thorpe, 1012 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,560 Speaker 1: you just really find so impossible to believe.

Frank Abrams a 1036 00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,840 Speaker 1: criminal defense attorney in North Carolina as well as Florida's 1037 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 1: practiced in federal state criminal law for thirty eight plus years. 1038 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: He's been on public radio and court TV, and he 1039 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 1: is an author and today we're welcoming to the fifty 1040 00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,960 Speaker 1: five Cars Morning Show to talk about his book, The 1041 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,520 Speaker 1: Cock Fight. And I observe Frank, and it's a pleasure 1042 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,360 Speaker 1: to have you on the program. It's been long stated 1043 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,720 Speaker 1: the law holds it as better the ten guilty persons 1044 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,440 Speaker 1: escape than one innocent suffer. I'm a firm believer in that, 1045 00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:44,960 Speaker 1: and there was a time in my life, Frank, that 1046 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,760 Speaker 1: I believed in the death penalty. But as I've gotten 1047 00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,200 Speaker 1: coming older and wiser and having practice litigation for sixteen years. 1048 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,560 Speaker 1: I am painfully aware of the fact that quite often, 1049 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: well maybe not often, but sometimes innocent people are convicted. 1050 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:00,920 Speaker 1: And if the state has the ability to take your 1051 00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 1: life from you, that's a scary proposition. Welcome Frank, Sorry 1052 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:05,320 Speaker 1: for being long winded. 1053 00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,000 Speaker 5: Oh no, it's an honor and a pleasure, and you 1054 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 5: are one hundred percent on point, Brian. So can I 1055 00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,920 Speaker 5: tell you a little bit about how this book came about? 1056 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely, Plus explain the title for my listeners so they 1057 00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: understand the relationship. 1058 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 5: Okay, the title of the book is The cock Fight. 1059 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 5: So one day I'm sitting at federal court. This is 1060 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:33,280 Speaker 5: a few years back, and it comes to my attention 1061 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,840 Speaker 5: and the attention that's some other attorneys that there's a 1062 00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:44,040 Speaker 5: Kentucky crime lab that has been mishandling DNA. So, Brian, 1063 00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 5: I thought to myself, what could go wrong there? So 1064 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 5: that's when I started. 1065 00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:51,959 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's when I. 1066 00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 5: Started writing the book. It gets even better, but I 1067 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 5: started writing the book. The main character of my book 1068 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:03,640 Speaker 5: is a teacher of the Year who's falsely accused of 1069 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 5: a relationship with a student, loses everything he has and 1070 00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 5: is living under a bridge with homeless people. Now, why 1071 00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:18,360 Speaker 5: is it called the cock fight? The answer is because 1072 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 5: every third Friday of the month under this bridge they 1073 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:26,360 Speaker 5: have cock fights. Why because the basis of the book 1074 00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:30,920 Speaker 5: is they treat animals the same way fighting roosters the 1075 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,240 Speaker 5: same way they treat people. They make them mean and 1076 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 5: angry towards each other, and then they make money in 1077 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,360 Speaker 5: the whole unholy process. 1078 00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you pointed out the money thing, because I 1079 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,600 Speaker 1: had that line in the notes circled for this reason, because, 1080 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,200 Speaker 1: as you know from my comments introducing you, having practice 1081 00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:54,360 Speaker 1: litigation and eight years in Chicago and eight years in 1082 00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:58,880 Speaker 1: house with a healthcare company, I know how expensive retaining 1083 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: a lawyer is. I mean outrageous amounts of money. You're 1084 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,920 Speaker 1: talking several hundred at minimum dollars an hour. And if 1085 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 1: you get falsely accused of a crime or accused of 1086 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: a crime, generally speaking, you have to get a defense 1087 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,920 Speaker 1: attorney unless you rely on the public defender. And I 1088 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 1: will welcome your observations about the competency of the Public 1089 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 1: Defender's office, but they tend to be overwhelmed with a 1090 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,160 Speaker 1: number of cases they had so to get competent counsel. 1091 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,960 Speaker 1: It's coming out of your pocket. And for those the 1092 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 1: moneys that don't have a lot of money, it's an 1093 00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: impossible chore. 1094 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 5: Abbssolutely. 1095 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:33,880 Speaker 6: Public. 1096 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 5: Defender's offices across the country are utterly overwhelmed. They don't 1097 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 5: have the time, they don't have the resources. But this 1098 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 5: even gets better because yesterday in the news came out 1099 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 5: a story that a crime lab analyst altered DNA evidence 1100 00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 5: in hundreds of care in Colorado. Yesterday's news, it's like 1101 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 5: they knew, Brian, that I was going to be interviewed 1102 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:08,880 Speaker 5: by you today. 1103 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:14,040 Speaker 1: It's like they knew why. And no, the timing is excellent, 1104 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,480 Speaker 1: Frank Butt, Why would they do that? 1105 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,320 Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing I wrote. I wrote in my 1106 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 5: book of the story of this teacher's fight to clear 1107 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 5: his name and all that he has to go through. 1108 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 5: And in it, I have a hearing and a trial 1109 01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:35,320 Speaker 5: and there's eight potential eight reasons, eight things more than 1110 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 5: eight actually that can go wrong, and a lot of 1111 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 5: it has to do with time elements. These lab analysts 1112 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 5: are told, we want these results, we want them now. 1113 01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 5: There's hundreds and hundreds of cases they'll fudge results. There's 1114 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 5: evidence in that particular case, she was indicted for over 1115 01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 5: a hundred plus cases that she dealt with. You know, 1116 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 5: I can't say why people do things, but I know 1117 01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:09,640 Speaker 5: this that it happens. And when the system, when someone's 1118 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:15,920 Speaker 5: life and someone's freedom is at stake, there has to 1119 01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 5: be more than just oh, well, we have this test 1120 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 5: and we're going to absolutely rely on the results of 1121 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 5: this test. 1122 01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 1: That's a great point, Frank. I think there's a sort 1123 01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:30,080 Speaker 1: of perhaps it's a you know, presumably a government employee 1124 01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:32,880 Speaker 1: or some lab They don't have any relationship to defend it. 1125 01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Maybe there's a presumption of guilt because they've been charged, 1126 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,120 Speaker 1: so they have a lack of care and concern that 1127 01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,120 Speaker 1: they should sort of put themselves in the position of 1128 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:44,280 Speaker 1: the person who's a defendant and do the job correctly 1129 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,000 Speaker 1: and be able to testify on the stand that everything 1130 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:50,840 Speaker 1: every eye was dotted and tea was crossed, because lives 1131 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:54,280 Speaker 1: are at stake here. But it's like taxpayer dollars. You know, 1132 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,240 Speaker 1: the government doesn't care where the dollars come from. They 1133 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,880 Speaker 1: don't have any incentive to be, you know, mindful of 1134 01:01:58,920 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 1: where the money's going because they have this open spigot, 1135 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 1: and that creates well, lack of care and concern. Same 1136 01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 1: kind of parallel. 1137 01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 5: Boy, Brian, have you hit it? And let me say that, 1138 01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,040 Speaker 5: let me say this you want to talk about, you know, 1139 01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:17,280 Speaker 5: they talk about weaponizing the justice Department against you know people. 1140 01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,680 Speaker 5: If you want to see the weaponization of the justice point, 1141 01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 5: you ought to see how it's been weaponized against regular 1142 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:28,440 Speaker 5: people and people who just can't afford to pay for 1143 01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 5: expensive attorneys, and people who just don't have the resources. 1144 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 5: And now, of course we're in days of budgetary restraint, 1145 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,960 Speaker 5: as we always have. So you know, good luck getting 1146 01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 5: the court to approve money and say things like, well, 1147 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,480 Speaker 5: you know, we're going to go ahead and do another test, 1148 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,400 Speaker 5: even though you've already had a test and your results 1149 01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 5: have been tested in my book, the individual asks for 1150 01:02:56,360 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 5: another test, but it's rejected. It's rejected, and in federal 1151 01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,720 Speaker 5: courts they have something across the country called rocket dockets, 1152 01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 5: and so it's like this, well, guess what, we don't 1153 01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 5: have time to do another test. There's not going to 1154 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,800 Speaker 5: be the money given to do another test, and guess what, 1155 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,680 Speaker 5: you don't be in trial on Monday. 1156 01:03:20,320 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 12: So so you. 1157 01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:28,240 Speaker 1: See, yeah, yeah, yeah, well in this system, I didn't 1158 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 1: practice I didn't practice criminal law, and I understand where 1159 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,520 Speaker 1: you're coming from though, because you know, when you're preparing 1160 01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: for a trial, you have a lot of work on 1161 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,640 Speaker 1: your plate, and when and you're a criminal defendant, a 1162 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,760 Speaker 1: criminal defense attorney, you know again your client's life is 1163 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 1: in your hands. I dealt with money matters, and of 1164 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,280 Speaker 1: course that really is significant to your client, but lives 1165 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:52,480 Speaker 1: aren't at stake, and so I feel for you, Frank, 1166 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,240 Speaker 1: I really do. In the book It's the Cockfight, it's 1167 01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: on my blog page fifty five Carosea dot com. I'm 1168 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 1: my guests today, Frank Abrams. I appreciate your passion on 1169 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 1: this subject. It's something near and dear to my heart. Frank, 1170 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,240 Speaker 1: it's been great having you on the program. I appreciate 1171 01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 1: you sharing your time and with our listeners and documenting this. 1172 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,560 Speaker 1: And it is a work of fiction, but Frank will 1173 01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:13,280 Speaker 1: tell you all day long, this is all based on 1174 01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:15,600 Speaker 1: reality and real quick Frank, in terms of being a 1175 01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:19,439 Speaker 1: defense attorney, if I wanted a separate DNA test because 1176 01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:21,840 Speaker 1: I had suspicions about the one that was presented by 1177 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,800 Speaker 1: the prosecuting attorney, how much would it cost me as 1178 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 1: a separate line item on the legal bill. 1179 01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,120 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, typically they take it takes quite 1180 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 5: a long time to do, but it would be in 1181 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 5: the many thousands of dollars, at least three or four 1182 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:41,600 Speaker 5: thousand dollars. And you're going to have to go ahead, 1183 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,920 Speaker 5: basically and also retain an expert regarding that oh WO 1184 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 5: to show that the first test had flaws. So take 1185 01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 5: a guess what that's gone about? 1186 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,120 Speaker 1: Eight hundred plus dollars an hour? 1187 01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:00,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, eight hundred plus. You know what in it 1188 01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 5: has been to talk to you. It has just been 1189 01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,560 Speaker 5: such an honor to be interviewed. And this book I 1190 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,240 Speaker 5: wrote came from my heart. 1191 01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:09,840 Speaker 1: I know it did. 1192 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:14,200 Speaker 5: And people seem to like this because this is a 1193 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 5: book that tells it like it is well. 1194 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,200 Speaker 1: And again you're outlining in this work of fiction real 1195 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,840 Speaker 1: parallels to real life and again supporting my argument that 1196 01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,120 Speaker 1: there should be no death penalty from the state. Frank, 1197 01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: keep up the great work.

I just give my little 1211 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 1: readers a foundation so they know it's a local author. 1212 01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,240 Speaker 1: I like to support local authors. I think it's really 1213 01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 1: kind of neat that we've gotten them in the audience 1214 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 1: because there's some really talented folks out there. But your 1215 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 1: book about Alzheimer's and sadly you were. How old were 1216 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 1: you when your grandmother experiences the challenge presented by Alzheimer's. 1217 01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 13: I was probably sixteen, mid teens, I would say. I 1218 01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:30,560 Speaker 13: was still living at home and my grandmother. When my 1219 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 13: grandmother was diagnosed, she came to live with my family. 1220 01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,040 Speaker 13: At that time, there were six kids. In the time, 1221 01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 13: there were just two of us left, myself and my 1222 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:45,480 Speaker 13: brother Kevin, so Maul moved in. They looked at nursing 1223 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 13: homes and small, small family homes my mom and her sister, 1224 01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:55,439 Speaker 13: but they just couldn't come to an agreement on where 1225 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 13: to leave her, and my mom just she wanted her 1226 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,480 Speaker 13: with us, so my grandmother moved it well. 1227 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 1: Having lived through this with my father struggling with Alzheimer's 1228 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: dimension I ultimately ended his life. The challenge is presented 1229 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 1: by having to care for a loved one, and not 1230 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 1: just the emotional component, which is obviously overwhelming, but my 1231 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,960 Speaker 1: mom was just run down to the point of exhaustion 1232 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,640 Speaker 1: because you know, it's a literal twenty four hour day, 1233 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,720 Speaker 1: seven day a week proposition dealing with the challenges these 1234 01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:28,720 Speaker 1: folks struggle with. 1235 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:32,920 Speaker 9: Right, you know, And that was my mom was also 1236 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,920 Speaker 9: working part time, you know, I remember I was in 1237 01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,439 Speaker 9: my summers, I was a camp counselor. And during one 1238 01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 9: of these years that my grandma was with us, I 1239 01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:47,600 Speaker 9: came back in the fall and my mom had aged overnight. 1240 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,200 Speaker 9: And it was so dramatic for me and traumatic to 1241 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 9: see that just in the short ten weeks when I 1242 01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:59,160 Speaker 9: was gone, how much she had changed. And you don't 1243 01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:02,960 Speaker 9: realize it. I wasn't the primary caregiver, you know, I 1244 01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:06,240 Speaker 9: was witnessing what was going on, but you don't take 1245 01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 9: the full blunt of caregiving. As a teenager, even I 1246 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,000 Speaker 9: would help mom, or we would shit my brother and 1247 01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,360 Speaker 9: I would sit with mal so mom and dad could 1248 01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:22,839 Speaker 9: go out. But it is absolutely a life changing aging 1249 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:28,160 Speaker 9: process for the caregiver. And you know that's why I, 1250 01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 9: you know, encourage people who talk to me who are 1251 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 9: going through it to basically to take your oxygen first, 1252 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:40,240 Speaker 9: to take care of yourself, to make sure that you're 1253 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,920 Speaker 9: eating right. You know, of all the research I did 1254 01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 9: for this book, it's the Mediterranean diet is the one 1255 01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 9: diet that just kept popping up kind of went to 1256 01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,760 Speaker 9: the top of diets for people, not just to prevent Alzheimer's, 1257 01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,479 Speaker 9: but just to lead. 1258 01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:57,600 Speaker 14: A healthier lifestyle. 1259 01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 9: And that's one of the things that you know, I 1260 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,559 Speaker 9: would recommend that sleep, exercise, and in some form of 1261 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:11,679 Speaker 9: just clearing your mind. I meditated, you know. And another 1262 01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 9: really important thing is just taking people up on it, 1263 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,760 Speaker 9: on the offer to sit with your loved one or 1264 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,200 Speaker 9: finding someone who will sitting with their life, or paying 1265 01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,120 Speaker 9: someone just sit with your life, because you need to 1266 01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:22,639 Speaker 9: get away. 1267 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:23,799 Speaker 12: Definitely, you need. 1268 01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:27,000 Speaker 9: To just step back from it. And even if you're 1269 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,519 Speaker 9: just going outside and taking a small walk and just 1270 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 9: breathing the fresh air. Well, but it's just all encompassing. 1271 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 1: Mary and Ben's author of you were still dancing. This 1272 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 1: Alzheimer's situation, though, developed further because once your grandmother, I 1273 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 1: guess it was it after she passed that your mother 1274 01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,440 Speaker 1: came down with the symptoms of Alzheimer's. 1275 01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:54,040 Speaker 9: Yes, yes, my grandmother passed, and you know it was 1276 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,920 Speaker 9: it was another I would say fifteen twenty years when 1277 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,760 Speaker 9: started showing the signs, but she actually you know, Alzheimer's 1278 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,960 Speaker 9: is now known to begin in the brain twenty you know, 1279 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:13,200 Speaker 9: two decades before the symptoms first appear. So while we're 1280 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:16,639 Speaker 9: out living our lives, there's a lot going on inside 1281 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,000 Speaker 9: our head that you know, we don't know about now. Now, 1282 01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 9: there is early testing if you're brave enough to do it, 1283 01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,960 Speaker 9: and I haven't done that yet, but I have friends 1284 01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 9: that have, and I think you really have to be 1285 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,160 Speaker 9: careful to make sure that you have the personality that 1286 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 9: can handle that. Maybe you have an increased risk of 1287 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:41,040 Speaker 9: developing Alzheimer's. I know myself if I forgot a word, 1288 01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 9: which I sometimes do. Yeah, the first place to know 1289 01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 9: is I'm getting Alzheimer's and just the bandits that might follow. 1290 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: Out, Oh my god, Mary and Ben I have the 1291 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,360 Speaker 1: exact same reaction. You know, I'll be sixty in September 1292 01:10:54,360 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 1: and I like to just pass it. I was like, jeez, Frie, 1293 01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 1: you're getting old. It's not as sharp as you used 1294 01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,080 Speaker 1: to be. And I'm struggling to find a word. But 1295 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 1: then again, I immediately think of my father, and yes, 1296 01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,120 Speaker 1: it's unsettling, to say the least. 1297 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,360 Speaker 4: So it is good. 1298 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,479 Speaker 9: In the absence of a cure, and there is none, 1299 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,679 Speaker 9: right now, that's I think you really have to weigh 1300 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,920 Speaker 9: whether you can handle knowing that you have a greater chance. Now, 1301 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,960 Speaker 9: of course you can go back to all the things 1302 01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,599 Speaker 9: what do I need to do to prevent it? But 1303 01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,679 Speaker 9: you still have to know if you have the mindset 1304 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:35,479 Speaker 9: that can you know, not go to tural places whenever 1305 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,719 Speaker 9: you know, we're my keys, or you know, you walk 1306 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 9: into a room and what did. 1307 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:40,439 Speaker 12: I come in here for? 1308 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,200 Speaker 9: And I think that we all do it to some extent. 1309 01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,360 Speaker 9: So when you have a history in your family, it's 1310 01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,200 Speaker 9: easy to go there, and then it's easy to kind 1311 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 9: of become consumed by its. Yeah, that's the you know, 1312 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 9: just to try to not go there. 1313 01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually I can see it bringing on full blown 1314 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,360 Speaker 1: depression if you, I mean, if you, if you're dwelling 1315 01:12:03,400 --> 01:12:06,160 Speaker 1: on it enough. It's just it's terrib because the disease 1316 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 1: is insidious. I mean it. I actually, and I don't 1317 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,360 Speaker 1: know this. That sounded like disrespect for my dad or 1318 01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:16,439 Speaker 1: that I was happy he died, But what a weight 1319 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:18,720 Speaker 1: was looked that he was miserable, He didn't know who 1320 01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,759 Speaker 1: anybody was. He laid in his bed and had no function, 1321 01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, no control over his bowels, which is obviously 1322 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,160 Speaker 1: a common problem in these situations, which is one of 1323 01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the reasons why you're tending to someone twenty four to seven. Uh, 1324 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,639 Speaker 1: it's it's just he I knew he was in a 1325 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,760 Speaker 1: better place, that he was released. 1326 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 9: Right exactly. And and I and I believe that's the word. 1327 01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,080 Speaker 9: And that's how I feel thought my grandmother, I felt 1328 01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:48,320 Speaker 9: like she has just let go, she was released. And 1329 01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:51,160 Speaker 9: I think that's just such a nice way to look 1330 01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:55,439 Speaker 9: at it. It really helps if you if you it 1331 01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,880 Speaker 9: depends on you know, where you come from spiritually. But 1332 01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 9: but if you do believe that we are you know, 1333 01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,160 Speaker 9: we are our soul encompasses are body or however you 1334 01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:11,440 Speaker 9: look at it, you know, to be released from those chains, 1335 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 9: and they really do hold you down when you have 1336 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,360 Speaker 9: a disease such as Alzheimer's. 1337 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:20,000 Speaker 1: Well, if you're faced with Alzheimer's in your family, what, 1338 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:23,599 Speaker 1: having lived this now two times, you obviously saw it all, 1339 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:26,720 Speaker 1: what do you recommend people to do in terms of 1340 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,320 Speaker 1: dealing with this challenge and maintain some sort of I 1341 01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,280 Speaker 1: know you mentioned the exercise and taking walks and all 1342 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,200 Speaker 1: that related to caregiving, because it is exhausting, But what 1343 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: about just coping with the general reality that they're living with. 1344 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 9: What are your recommendations the reality that that caregiver lives 1345 01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:46,959 Speaker 9: with or the reality that the patient lives. 1346 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,040 Speaker 1: With, no the caregiver. I was thinking more of the caregiver, 1347 01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,720 Speaker 1: because quite often the patient themselves loses any sense of 1348 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,760 Speaker 1: recollection or even ability to recognize you as a as 1349 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: a relative. 1350 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:03,120 Speaker 9: Right, you know. So for myself personally, I do and 1351 01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,200 Speaker 9: I think about it every day. That's the first thing. 1352 01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:09,559 Speaker 9: I Alzheimer's is no more than a couple of degrees 1353 01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 9: away from, you know, my thought process. Wherever I am, 1354 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:18,320 Speaker 9: I do believe strongly in a one meditation. I know 1355 01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,000 Speaker 9: I spoke with that earlier, but I can't emphasize that 1356 01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:25,639 Speaker 9: enough to even go into like a deep breathing clearing 1357 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 9: your mind, just kind of setting the tone for the day, 1358 01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 9: as you you know, get I believe that I always 1359 01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 9: start my day with exercise, some form of yoga, some 1360 01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,800 Speaker 9: form of our Wilbek exercise, and just try to you know, 1361 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,360 Speaker 9: give my body the best chance I can to keep 1362 01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:49,080 Speaker 9: from you know, the problem with Alzheimer's, it's not a problem. 1363 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:53,160 Speaker 9: That issue with Alzheimer's is that Alzheimer's is very much 1364 01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 9: like any other disease that affects the heart right. So 1365 01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 9: if you have high blood pressure, if you have high cholesterol, 1366 01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 9: those those need to be recognized and then they need 1367 01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:07,719 Speaker 9: to be taken care of broad under control, whatever means 1368 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 9: that is. I am on a statin. I you know, 1369 01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:17,760 Speaker 9: I don't feel like I should be on a statins 1370 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 9: because I'm in states, and I eat right, and I 1371 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 9: exercise and I try to do all the right things. 1372 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:30,320 Speaker 9: But apparently genetically I'm predisposed to having high cholesterol. Yeah, 1373 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:34,120 Speaker 9: tried my doctor ride to you know, do it you know, 1374 01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 9: with diet, do it with exercise. You gave me a 1375 01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:36,960 Speaker 9: lot of time. 1376 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,640 Speaker 1: Well, let me strongly encourage you to look into bioidentical 1377 01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:43,439 Speaker 1: hormone replacement therapy, which is what the Europeans do to 1378 01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:46,479 Speaker 1: solve the cholesterol problem. Plus it really makes you feel good, 1379 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:52,400 Speaker 1: I mean really good. So Okay, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. 1380 01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:54,759 Speaker 1: May your hormones could be out of balance, low estrogen, 1381 01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:57,240 Speaker 1: low tester and whatever, what a testoster, whatever happens to be. 1382 01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,000 Speaker 1: But if you do some research on it, they don't 1383 01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,240 Speaker 1: use statins in Europe from what I've been told by 1384 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:05,600 Speaker 1: physicians that I deal with. So just a thought, but 1385 01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,639 Speaker 1: it also deals with a whole bunch of other problems, 1386 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, metapausal problems, and you know sexual desire, and 1387 01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,920 Speaker 1: uh just it's it's it's kind of magical, if I 1388 01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:17,559 Speaker 1: may be so bold as to say so, maryon Ben's 1389 01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 1: But now, I guess this book is recommended for anybody 1390 01:16:20,439 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: who is dealing with the realities of Alzheimer's, anybody who's 1391 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,720 Speaker 1: got a family member or a loved one or a 1392 01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: friend who's struggling with the disease. Thoughts, comments, and how 1393 01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 1: to deal and cope with it all.

Author 1416 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,400 Speaker 1: of Last Stands, more than fifteen other novels and nonfiction book. 1417 01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,719 Speaker 1: Classical music critic for Time Magazine at one point received 1418 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:37,840 Speaker 1: the two thousand and four American Book Awards Prize for 1419 01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,320 Speaker 1: Fiction for his gangster novel There's Another One You Can 1420 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,559 Speaker 1: Read and All the Saints. He wrote popular columns from 1421 01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,240 Speaker 1: National Review, which he used under a pseudonym to put 1422 01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,920 Speaker 1: into the book Rules for Radical Conservatives.

Talking about today, his new book, A Rage 1427 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:06,479 Speaker 1: to Conquer Twelve Battles that change the course of Western History. 1428 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 1: Michael Walsh, Welcome to the Morning Show. It's a real 1429 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 1: pleasure to have you on today. 1430 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:11,320 Speaker 4: Thank you very much. Brian. 1431 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,600 Speaker 1: So, there are a lot more than twelve battles, and 1432 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,519 Speaker 1: I suppose a lot of them could have impacted Western history. 1433 01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,120 Speaker 1: First off, what interested you in this topic? And then 1434 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,519 Speaker 1: how did you whittle all of the wars that have 1435 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,680 Speaker 1: been waged by man over the years down to the 1436 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:28,880 Speaker 1: twelve that you selected. 1437 01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:33,120 Speaker 2: Well, I've been very interested in military history my whole life. 1438 01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:35,479 Speaker 2: I was born actually on the Marine Corps base in 1439 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:39,719 Speaker 2: Campleyshire in North Carolina, and my father was a Marine 1440 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 2: officer who fought in Korea and elsewhere. So that's part 1441 01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 2: of my upbringing. And as you mentioned, I read a 1442 01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 2: book called Last Stance four years ago which was quite successful, 1443 01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 2: and that examined why men fight when everything seems to 1444 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,280 Speaker 2: be lost, but they don't cut and around, they fight. 1445 01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,280 Speaker 2: So this book is an outgrowth of that book, and 1446 01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:04,080 Speaker 2: I wanted to look at twelve Battles and the commanders 1447 01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:09,120 Speaker 2: who led them to talk about masculinity again and talk 1448 01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 2: about what it takes to be successful at what is, 1449 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:18,280 Speaker 2: unfortunately one of the most fundamental human endeavors there is, 1450 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:19,320 Speaker 2: which is warfare. 1451 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,719 Speaker 1: Now, I want to approach this sort of in reverse order, 1452 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 1: and we could start with the Trojan War and Achilles, 1453 01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,920 Speaker 1: which I'm very interested in talking with you about. But 1454 01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 1: the last one, the most recent challenge, the Battle of 1455 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: nine to eleven and how it was ultimately lost by 1456 01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 1: the United States. Would you put a little more flesh 1457 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,599 Speaker 1: on the bones of that conclusion. I think I get 1458 01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 1: your point, but that was just my attention gravitated toward 1459 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,320 Speaker 1: that considering it wasn't, you know, a traditional form of 1460 01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:50,160 Speaker 1: warfare unless you look at sort of maybe our invasion 1461 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,400 Speaker 1: of Iraq. 1462 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 2: Well, that's turned out to the most controversial part of 1463 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 2: the book. And I remember when an author it's a book, 1464 01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:05,800 Speaker 2: he's finished the text about a year before it comes out. 1465 01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,360 Speaker 2: So it's not like blogging or anything. It's it's you 1466 01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:12,559 Speaker 2: have to consider this well in advance and try to 1467 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,720 Speaker 2: figure out what readers are going to be interested in. 1468 01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 2: But nine to eleven struck me as an example of 1469 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:22,519 Speaker 2: a commander President Bush who didn't understand the rules of 1470 01:20:22,560 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 2: warfare and didn't have the stomach to fight the battle 1471 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,360 Speaker 2: that needed to be fought, unlike all the other guys 1472 01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 2: in the book, which include you mentioned Achilles, who's you know, 1473 01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:37,360 Speaker 2: quasi fictional, but obviously it's based on somebody real wayback when. 1474 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,280 Speaker 2: But Caesar and Constantine the Great and General Patten and 1475 01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:44,559 Speaker 2: the other people I talk about. And so as a result, 1476 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 2: we didn't really believe that war was declared on us. 1477 01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,240 Speaker 2: And if you think we won the Battle of nine 1478 01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:53,240 Speaker 2: to eleven, go to the airport and see. 1479 01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:58,519 Speaker 1: If that's a great point. You know, behind all this, 1480 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:02,680 Speaker 1: the whole idea of warfare Michael. I'm a profound constitutionalist, 1481 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,839 Speaker 1: little l libertarian, am I. But we end up launching 1482 01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 1: missiles and dropping bombs and taking people out in foreign 1483 01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 1: lands against him. We have no declaration of war. And 1484 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 1: you know, with technology being pervasive, more and more foreign 1485 01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:20,760 Speaker 1: actors and folks that we might not consider friendly to 1486 01:21:20,920 --> 01:21:24,639 Speaker 1: us have that technology and could equally do the same 1487 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,519 Speaker 1: thing to us that we're doing to them. Congress never 1488 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,000 Speaker 1: declares war. You get an authorization, you use a military 1489 01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:31,599 Speaker 1: force to deal with nine to eleven, and it ends 1490 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:34,840 Speaker 1: up lasting twenty plus years to serve as a justification 1491 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:36,600 Speaker 1: for conflicts literally everywhere. 1492 01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 2: Well, it's disgraceful. It's part of the forever war mindset, 1493 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,400 Speaker 2: which is true of people at both parties, by the way, 1494 01:21:45,439 --> 01:21:47,639 Speaker 2: And if you don't think so, just look at one 1495 01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 2: of the senators from South Carolina, John Love Childs, who 1496 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 2: never saw war. He personally didn't want to fight in, 1497 01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:56,640 Speaker 2: but didn't want somebody. 1498 01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:57,120 Speaker 4: Else to fight in. 1499 01:21:58,360 --> 01:22:01,080 Speaker 2: The fact is that we got were declared on us, 1500 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:06,360 Speaker 2: and we simply refused to accept it. So this event happened, 1501 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:10,040 Speaker 2: and then we refused to address the issue, and we 1502 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:13,120 Speaker 2: went to other countries which had little or nothing to 1503 01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,679 Speaker 2: do with it, h tut to twenty some years later, 1504 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:20,160 Speaker 2: and we even immediately pull out of Afghanistan. 1505 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,519 Speaker 4: It was a disgrace. And that's what I said in 1506 01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:22,840 Speaker 4: the book. 1507 01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,080 Speaker 1: Well, I think you're probably in good company with my 1508 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,679 Speaker 1: listening audience on those conclusions, sir. Now back to Achilles again. 1509 01:22:30,600 --> 01:22:32,000 Speaker 1: One of the reasons I was drawn to that is 1510 01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:35,519 Speaker 1: because there is a lot of fictional element associated with Achilles, 1511 01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:39,600 Speaker 1: like the Achilles heel story. But what was his importance? 1512 01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:41,679 Speaker 1: Is it Ilium? 1513 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 4: Yes? Yeah, said Troy. 1514 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:50,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. The Iliad, which is one of the foundation of 1515 01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 2: great poem, along with the Odyssey of Western culture, talks 1516 01:22:55,600 --> 01:23:00,200 Speaker 2: about something that we now know happened. We're not sure 1517 01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,000 Speaker 2: to what a stenate did, and Homer comes down to 1518 01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:07,719 Speaker 2: us himself as a semi mystical figure, but something happened there. 1519 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:10,120 Speaker 2: But what's great about the earli End, First of all, 1520 01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:12,840 Speaker 2: it's a great, great work of art, and secondly, it 1521 01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:18,640 Speaker 2: does describe in graphic and gruesome detail how warfare was 1522 01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:24,160 Speaker 2: conducted around roughly one thousand BC uh and that is 1523 01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:25,639 Speaker 2: the beginning of the. 1524 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,040 Speaker 4: West's first clash with the East. 1525 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:32,400 Speaker 2: So the obviously the Greeks were on the western side 1526 01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:36,240 Speaker 2: of this divide and the Trojans Troy is now and 1527 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:42,639 Speaker 2: where western Turkey is they were the East. And this 1528 01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,680 Speaker 2: is a theme that runs throughout Western history. Alexander's fight, 1529 01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:51,800 Speaker 2: Alexander's fighting the Persians. There's this constant battle within Rome 1530 01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:56,600 Speaker 2: against the Parthians. Wore also sort of quasei Persians. It 1531 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,360 Speaker 2: was just one of the threads of the book. But 1532 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,320 Speaker 2: you have to start with the very first war story 1533 01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:02,040 Speaker 2: and that's. 1534 01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 1: It understood, and fast forward over to the Crusades, the 1535 01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:07,840 Speaker 1: first Cruqade, Crusades. 1536 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:14,360 Speaker 4: Bohemond, Yes, yeah, no one has heard of Beaulamonte except for. 1537 01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 1: The first time, sir, this is it man, I've just 1538 01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:18,560 Speaker 1: been introduced to Bauhemont. 1539 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:19,799 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1540 01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:23,679 Speaker 2: Well, he's an amazing figure and he is the hero 1541 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:28,680 Speaker 2: of this particular chapter because he won two critical battles 1542 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:33,160 Speaker 2: in the first Crusade, which was recalled by the Pope 1543 01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 2: in response to the Byzantine Emperor, the emperor of the 1544 01:24:36,920 --> 01:24:42,479 Speaker 2: eastern part of the old Roman Emperor Empire to liberate 1545 01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,160 Speaker 2: the holy sites of Christianity. So this was in the 1546 01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:49,960 Speaker 2: very late eleventh century and Beauma was a great, big Norman. 1547 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 2: The Normans had just conquered England like thirty years before, 1548 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:59,200 Speaker 2: and many of the Normans joined the Crusade and went 1549 01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,840 Speaker 2: to the Holy Land to fight. And Beaumont himself was 1550 01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:07,040 Speaker 2: a Norman from southerns had conquered the lower part of 1551 01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:10,000 Speaker 2: Italy and Sicily and ruled it for many, many years. 1552 01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 2: So Beaumont led his troops, and he was a giant 1553 01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:18,479 Speaker 2: of a man. He was a tactical genius and was 1554 01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,799 Speaker 2: able to stave off defeat in the very first battle the. 1555 01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 4: Crusaders fought against the Turks, and he. 1556 01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,760 Speaker 2: Was able to win and keep the whole siege of 1557 01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:33,400 Speaker 2: Antioch and caused that city which was crucial to the 1558 01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,680 Speaker 2: path to Jerusalem, which he then took for himself. And 1559 01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,280 Speaker 2: he kind of drops out of the Crusading narrative. But 1560 01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 2: in two places he really stepped up and shows the 1561 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 2: superiority of Western arms and also the size. The Franks 1562 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,600 Speaker 2: were much bigger than the Turks, and. 1563 01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:52,799 Speaker 4: They had a problem. 1564 01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,920 Speaker 2: The Turks were very mobile, kind of like American Indians 1565 01:25:55,920 --> 01:26:00,759 Speaker 2: against the cowboys or the cavalry and the American West 1566 01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,639 Speaker 2: that come in, shoot run away, come in, shoot run away, 1567 01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:05,639 Speaker 2: and the Crusaders were frustrated. They could ever get their 1568 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:09,439 Speaker 2: hands on them. Well, Bowman finally did, and uh fended 1569 01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:12,160 Speaker 2: off this ambush. They could have ended the crusade at 1570 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,680 Speaker 2: a little place called Dora Lam and then regrouped and 1571 01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,800 Speaker 2: they marched all the way to Antioch, and in a 1572 01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:22,519 Speaker 2: brilliant siege, took Antioch against vastly, vastly superior numbers. 1573 01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:25,320 Speaker 1: Now, in terms of the crusades, you said, the Pope 1574 01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:28,080 Speaker 1: issued this, you know, request, and everybody needs to go 1575 01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:30,720 Speaker 1: there to help out. And I understand this was was 1576 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,680 Speaker 1: it largely viewed by people as a legitimate, you know, 1577 01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:37,880 Speaker 1: calling from God like that this this was a necessary 1578 01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:41,719 Speaker 1: religious thing to do, because you know, over the years, 1579 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of speculation that, well, now there's just 1580 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:45,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of Europeans that wanted to go plunder and 1581 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,160 Speaker 1: and look for treasure as opposed to liberate the country. 1582 01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, well there's an answer for that, which is, but 1583 01:26:51,600 --> 01:26:53,960 Speaker 2: the first crusade was successful. Most of them went home. 1584 01:26:54,560 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 2: They didn't stay. Himself was a Lackland who took part 1585 01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 2: of the turf that was conquered, and so do the others. 1586 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,240 Speaker 2: But most of them went home. And a point I 1587 01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,080 Speaker 2: make over and over again in the book is that 1588 01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:13,920 Speaker 2: almost all these wars have some religious component, and from 1589 01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:18,320 Speaker 2: the earliest time, success in war was contributed to your God, 1590 01:27:18,760 --> 01:27:22,360 Speaker 2: and failure meant that you had not lived up to 1591 01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,080 Speaker 2: the demands of your God. You hadn't prayed hard enough, 1592 01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:29,560 Speaker 2: sacrificed hard enough, you had you lost because of insufficient fabelity. 1593 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:33,599 Speaker 2: This is a constant theme throughout Western history. It's very 1594 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,080 Speaker 2: very interesting and. 1595 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:37,840 Speaker 1: It makes sense. You know, if you believe in a 1596 01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,040 Speaker 1: supreme power and you're beholden to them, and you actually 1597 01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:43,840 Speaker 1: have a belief system that involves you know, God and 1598 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:46,360 Speaker 1: acts of God, then yeah, you're going to step up 1599 01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:50,040 Speaker 1: to the play because basically your soul is contingent upon 1600 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:52,160 Speaker 1: it where you're going to end up in the afterlife, right. 1601 01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, you also got a complete remission of sins 1602 01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:58,920 Speaker 2: if you went on the cruise. That was part of 1603 01:27:58,960 --> 01:28:01,639 Speaker 2: the deal. And also the what's interesting is the Church 1604 01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:05,559 Speaker 2: guaranteed your property because the Church was the only power, 1605 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:09,280 Speaker 2: you know, the Roman Empire having fallen five hundred years earlier, 1606 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,200 Speaker 2: six hundred years earlier. Uh, and you were immune from 1607 01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,480 Speaker 2: lawsuits and there was there was a bunch of upside. 1608 01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:20,000 Speaker 2: A lot of them died on the group trip France 1609 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:23,439 Speaker 2: and what's now Germany. Uh, all the way to the east, 1610 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 2: to the eastern edge of the Mediterranean. But there were 1611 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 2: some some bennies shall we say, uh with it. But 1612 01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 2: I would say it was mostly fueled by religious ardor. 1613 01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:35,680 Speaker 2: And that was true with the Muslim side too. They 1614 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,240 Speaker 2: believed in the prophet. They were they were undefeated up 1615 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,840 Speaker 2: to that point. They had never encountered any opposition that 1616 01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:45,479 Speaker 2: stood up. They rolled through the remnants of the Roman Empire, 1617 01:28:45,520 --> 01:28:49,439 Speaker 2: they rolled over Persia, conquered Iran, Islamic sized Iran. 1618 01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:50,120 Speaker 11: Uh. 1619 01:28:50,880 --> 01:28:53,000 Speaker 2: They were they were used to success. And the first 1620 01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,519 Speaker 2: time they came up against the Franks and got walked 1621 01:28:56,560 --> 01:29:00,080 Speaker 2: and they were uh. It taught them something to and 1622 01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,479 Speaker 2: And this war, now, that particular war has been going 1623 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:06,240 Speaker 2: on for a thousand plus years. That's the Israel Godza conflict. 1624 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 2: That's where that starts. 1625 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 1: It's amazing that that has been raging for that long. 1626 01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:13,080 Speaker 1: And you did bring up the travel I was going 1627 01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:15,120 Speaker 1: to ask you about that in terms of the the 1628 01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:20,000 Speaker 1: the crusades, that that distance in the time it would 1629 01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:21,800 Speaker 1: take to get from point A to point B to 1630 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,879 Speaker 1: fight and then come back home. I'm just I suppose 1631 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:29,880 Speaker 1: that we're still under a feudal system then, correct. 1632 01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, more or less, the kings of Europe had not 1633 01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:38,120 Speaker 2: really quite emerged yet. So what that's called the Princess 1634 01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,879 Speaker 2: Crusade because remember, there's no France, there is no Germany 1635 01:29:42,200 --> 01:29:43,559 Speaker 2: right as we know it. 1636 01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:46,360 Speaker 4: So these were little princelings. 1637 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:50,240 Speaker 2: Of various little principalities around Europe that that got together 1638 01:29:50,280 --> 01:29:53,960 Speaker 2: and organized an army, and they had specific leaders and 1639 01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:58,160 Speaker 2: they accomplished it. It's an amazing logistical feat when you 1640 01:29:58,160 --> 01:30:00,160 Speaker 2: stop to think about it, that they came all that 1641 01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:04,400 Speaker 2: way by lands and sea, over a terrible terrain, and 1642 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,559 Speaker 2: lost a lot of their people, but they just kept going. 1643 01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,640 Speaker 2: And there were times they didn't want to go, but 1644 01:30:09,800 --> 01:30:13,280 Speaker 2: they felt they had to go, and so they seized 1645 01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,200 Speaker 2: upon any sign that God was with them, most famously 1646 01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:19,400 Speaker 2: at Antioch, where they were getting they were having a 1647 01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:23,120 Speaker 2: very hard time with the giant Turkish army, and then 1648 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 2: one of them discovered what he purported to be the 1649 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,519 Speaker 2: Holy the tip of the Holy Spirit that had pierced 1650 01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:34,759 Speaker 2: Christ's side at the time of the crucifixion, and using 1651 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:38,719 Speaker 2: this rusty piece of iron, they went into battle holding 1652 01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:42,840 Speaker 2: it up and won. So naturally they thought God was 1653 01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:47,599 Speaker 2: on their side. At the Crusader motto was deuslovul God 1654 01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:50,320 Speaker 2: wills it and they would shout at us, they would 1655 01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 2: move into battle. 1656 01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:54,760 Speaker 1: Fascinating stuff. Fascinating stuff.

Shiloh, 1676 01:31:52,200 --> 01:31:54,439 Speaker 1: Welcome to the fifty five CARSEEE Morning Show. Thanks for 1677 01:31:54,479 --> 01:31:54,960 Speaker 1: showing up. 1678 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:57,559 Speaker 15: Hey, thank you so much for having me. 1679 01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:01,120 Speaker 1: Now, I'm confused Christian side fi series. That's sort of 1680 01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:06,600 Speaker 1: an interesting melding of mediums, I guess. Or I'm just 1681 01:32:06,600 --> 01:32:09,800 Speaker 1: trying to figure out how Christianity and science fiction go 1682 01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,360 Speaker 1: hand in hand. Obviously that's what the book is all about. 1683 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,080 Speaker 1: But how did you get the inspiration for this particular 1684 01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:18,280 Speaker 1: book and the idea of merging sci fi and christian theme. 1685 01:32:19,960 --> 01:32:23,320 Speaker 15: Well, it's been a long journey. I've written thirty eight novels, 1686 01:32:23,520 --> 01:32:26,200 Speaker 15: but this one has been over ten years in the making, 1687 01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,840 Speaker 15: so I've had a lot of revisions and it's been 1688 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:33,360 Speaker 15: quite a journey. But you know, have you ever heard 1689 01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:34,799 Speaker 15: of the Philadelphia Project? 1690 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:36,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1691 01:32:36,360 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, yeah, so we go there too. So a 1692 01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,000 Speaker 15: big part of the book is kind of based on 1693 01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,880 Speaker 15: the Philadelphia Project, which is considered a conspiracy theory, I 1694 01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:50,960 Speaker 15: guess now, So yeah, we've got conspiracy theories sci fi 1695 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:55,759 Speaker 15: and spiritual thriller all wrapped up into one. So Plunge 1696 01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,000 Speaker 15: is the story of Jacob Carter who is forced into 1697 01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:02,720 Speaker 15: a military experience which causes him to jump into the 1698 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:06,519 Speaker 15: spiritual side of our world, where instead of seeing the physical, 1699 01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:10,559 Speaker 15: he's actually experiencing spiritual things. So it's his journey of 1700 01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:14,719 Speaker 15: discovering who he really is as inn avy cl He's 1701 01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,760 Speaker 15: very strong, capable and smart, but in the spirit he 1702 01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,320 Speaker 15: discovers his true self is not all he wants it 1703 01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:24,120 Speaker 15: to be. So it's a super fun journey. 1704 01:33:24,439 --> 01:33:27,400 Speaker 1: So this spiritual realm that he finds himself in, I 1705 01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:30,880 Speaker 1: guess my understanding is that there's a cloaking device that 1706 01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:34,640 Speaker 1: puts him into this spiritual realm. Now is this a 1707 01:33:35,120 --> 01:33:38,000 Speaker 1: spiritual realm? Is it? Is it evil? I means he is? 1708 01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:40,879 Speaker 1: He is he attacked? I mean, because if it's spiritual, 1709 01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:44,360 Speaker 1: there's no physical nature going on. I'm thinking, like, you 1710 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:46,600 Speaker 1: couldn't get into a gunfight in the spiritual world. I 1711 01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:48,680 Speaker 1: means he come under some threat or and how is 1712 01:33:48,680 --> 01:33:49,920 Speaker 1: his spirituality tested? 1713 01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:51,880 Speaker 5: For sure? 1714 01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:55,559 Speaker 15: Yeah, a lot of threats. It's definitely an action adventure book, 1715 01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:58,559 Speaker 15: so there's a fight scenes throughout, but in the spirit 1716 01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:03,240 Speaker 15: the enemy is a lion, and he is being hunted. 1717 01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:06,160 Speaker 15: Jacob is being hunted throughout the whole book, and it's 1718 01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:10,240 Speaker 15: his journey to figure out, you know what biblically does 1719 01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,080 Speaker 15: he have? What what can he do? Uh to protect 1720 01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:17,320 Speaker 15: himself and to change things and to keep himself from 1721 01:34:17,439 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 15: you know, from the enemy there. So yeah, plunge is definitely. 1722 01:34:23,040 --> 01:34:23,200 Speaker 11: Man. 1723 01:34:23,240 --> 01:34:24,640 Speaker 15: I tell people when to pick it up. I say, 1724 01:34:24,760 --> 01:34:27,960 Speaker 15: brace yourself because in the physical world when he jumps 1725 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 15: back into the physical he is facing super soldiers. They're 1726 01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:34,679 Speaker 15: putting him against super soldiers to see if they can 1727 01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:37,560 Speaker 15: the government can use the knowledge that he gained in 1728 01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:40,040 Speaker 15: the spirit. So yeah, it's fights in both worlds. 1729 01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:43,800 Speaker 1: I guess is the lion a metaphor or is it 1730 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:45,960 Speaker 1: a true lion? I'm thinking like the Lion, the Witch 1731 01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,240 Speaker 1: and the Wardrobe, which many point two? Is that maybe 1732 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,920 Speaker 1: a dominant Christian theme if you read those series of books, 1733 01:34:50,920 --> 01:34:53,080 Speaker 1: But in this particular book, is that is that sort 1734 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:55,320 Speaker 1: of a Is that like an homage to the Lion 1735 01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,040 Speaker 1: the Witch in the War about Wardrobe in some way? 1736 01:34:58,560 --> 01:34:58,600 Speaker 16: No? 1737 01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,160 Speaker 15: Maybe maybe more to script. Sure, you know, the Bible 1738 01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:04,080 Speaker 15: says that the enemy goes about like a roaring Lion, 1739 01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:08,799 Speaker 15: So it is. Plunge definitely has a lot of allegorical content. 1740 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:11,920 Speaker 15: So you know, the more that you get into it, 1741 01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:13,800 Speaker 15: the more I think things that will pop out to 1742 01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:15,479 Speaker 15: you as you read the book. 1743 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:19,320 Speaker 1: There was a book designed to test people's faith or 1744 01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:22,600 Speaker 1: to you know, affirm it in some way. 1745 01:35:23,200 --> 01:35:25,880 Speaker 15: Oh, definitely to affirm it. When I was thirty two, 1746 01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:30,439 Speaker 15: I had major heart trouble and this book was really 1747 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:35,600 Speaker 15: born out of my struggle to find faith and to 1748 01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,960 Speaker 15: find divine healing, which thank God, I have received here. 1749 01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:41,360 Speaker 12: I am so yeah. 1750 01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:44,439 Speaker 15: Plunge is definitely a spiritual journey, and its purpose is 1751 01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:48,240 Speaker 15: to strengthen, encourage, and kind of wake up the church 1752 01:35:48,280 --> 01:35:51,880 Speaker 15: and people who are maybe seeking God but haven't seen 1753 01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:55,880 Speaker 15: any of his power. They haven't seen the life that 1754 01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:58,200 Speaker 15: they expected to see from that relationship. 1755 01:35:58,680 --> 01:36:01,240 Speaker 1: How about that, I think you've already answered the question, 1756 01:36:01,280 --> 01:36:03,160 Speaker 1: But who did you write this book for? I can 1757 01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,680 Speaker 1: certainly understand that now. I guess you went through this 1758 01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,360 Speaker 1: challenge yourself. Was it one of those moments when you 1759 01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,439 Speaker 1: felt like God had kind of given up on you 1760 01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,719 Speaker 1: or turned his back on you in some way, shape 1761 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:15,400 Speaker 1: or form. Because I know a lot of people struggle 1762 01:36:15,439 --> 01:36:18,040 Speaker 1: with that sort of harsh reality of the world when 1763 01:36:18,040 --> 01:36:21,960 Speaker 1: they experience times of trouble, or maybe in your case, 1764 01:36:23,280 --> 01:36:26,559 Speaker 1: health problems crop up, like a cancer diagnosis or something. 1765 01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:33,439 Speaker 15: Oh, it was definitely a dark time, but it was 1766 01:36:33,479 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 15: also a time of hope because I had made the 1767 01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:41,680 Speaker 15: complete decision for myself to trust God's words. So I 1768 01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:43,680 Speaker 15: didn't see any doctors, I didn't do anything else. I 1769 01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:48,360 Speaker 15: just went to the Lord. And so although it was difficult, 1770 01:36:48,439 --> 01:36:50,160 Speaker 15: I think the biggest thing that I had to do 1771 01:36:50,360 --> 01:36:54,640 Speaker 15: was unlearned things that I thought about God, and I 1772 01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:58,160 Speaker 15: had to go to the Bible and discover what did 1773 01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:00,800 Speaker 15: God actually say about himself? And then I had to 1774 01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,640 Speaker 15: believe that instead of all of the things that I 1775 01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,080 Speaker 15: had spent my life believing before. 1776 01:37:06,760 --> 01:37:08,960 Speaker 1: Fair enough, Now, this is the first book and what 1777 01:37:09,080 --> 01:37:11,960 Speaker 1: is called the Three Worlds Christian sci fi series. King 1778 01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:14,799 Speaker 1: real quick, I guess have the other books been written 1779 01:37:14,800 --> 01:37:16,800 Speaker 1: already and we're just waiting to release them after this 1780 01:37:16,840 --> 01:37:19,720 Speaker 1: one's gone out, or are you still working on them? 1781 01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:23,519 Speaker 1: And what also is the Three Worlds? What does initial 1782 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,240 Speaker 1: cap three worlds Christian refer to. 1783 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,639 Speaker 15: Sure three worlds refers to Heaven, Earth, and Hell.

I just can't imagine 2002 01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:28,920 Speaker 1: being in that environment, and I've heard a lot of 2003 01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:30,519 Speaker 1: stories like this over the years. Think of the people 2004 01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:32,200 Speaker 1: who tried to get out of Berlin and had to, 2005 01:48:32,240 --> 01:48:34,439 Speaker 1: you know, go through the wall or under the law 2006 01:48:34,560 --> 01:48:38,360 Speaker 1: or or law at risk getting machine gunned down for 2007 01:48:38,479 --> 01:48:41,400 Speaker 1: even endeavoring to leave. This is a great story. And 2008 01:48:42,800 --> 01:48:43,559 Speaker 1: I guess you're. 2009 01:48:43,640 --> 01:48:46,840 Speaker 14: And communism was so great? Why would people I. 2010 01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:47,599 Speaker 11: Want to go right? 2011 01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I was going to say earlier in 2012 01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,720 Speaker 1: your in your breadline comments like whatever happened to from 2013 01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:55,320 Speaker 1: each according's ability to each according to his need?

Bill O'Reilly, welcome back 2028 01:49:33,760 --> 01:49:36,400 Speaker 1: to the fifty five Carcy Morning Show. My friend, you 2029 01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:40,160 Speaker 1: have a an unbelievably informative web page there. I want 2030 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:41,479 Speaker 1: to applaud you on what you're doing. 2031 01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:42,960 Speaker 11: Well. 2032 01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:45,680 Speaker 7: Thank you, Brian, I appreciate having me in. Nice to 2033 01:49:45,680 --> 01:49:49,439 Speaker 7: speak to you again. You know, it's really interesting what's 2034 01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:55,439 Speaker 7: happened since Trump got elected in November. The the American 2035 01:49:55,560 --> 01:50:03,000 Speaker 7: people were so angry with the Biden administration that even 2036 01:50:03,160 --> 01:50:08,760 Speaker 7: people who don't like Donald Trump said, look, he may 2037 01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:13,640 Speaker 7: not be what I think a president should be, but 2038 01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:16,600 Speaker 7: he's so much better than the alternative that we're going 2039 01:50:16,640 --> 01:50:21,679 Speaker 7: to vote for him. But the media never accepted that. Never, 2040 01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:25,599 Speaker 7: and so the strategy now is no matter what Trump does, 2041 01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:31,360 Speaker 7: he's evil. It's not wrong, it's evil. It's changed now 2042 01:50:31,520 --> 01:50:35,680 Speaker 7: the media strategy. So my job is basically not cheerlead 2043 01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:39,320 Speaker 7: Donald Trump. We don't do that, no, but to put 2044 01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:42,960 Speaker 7: it to perspective things that he does so that people 2045 01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:46,320 Speaker 7: can make a decision based on reality. And that's why 2046 01:50:46,320 --> 01:50:49,519 Speaker 7: we're successful. On Bill O'Reilly dot com has now it's 2047 01:50:49,520 --> 01:50:53,320 Speaker 7: almost eight years, and the thing is the most successful 2048 01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:54,840 Speaker 7: independent news site in the world. 2049 01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:57,559 Speaker 1: And that does not shock me a bit.

Sir, 2060 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:25,760 Speaker 7: still there. I mean it's a phenomenal seller, as most 2061 01:51:25,760 --> 01:51:28,720 Speaker 7: of my books have been. In September, we have Confronting 2062 01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:35,559 Speaker 7: Evil and we got the cover up on billoreilly dot com. 2063 01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:41,440 Speaker 7: Putin's on a cover along with the Ayatola, Halmani, Mazitun 2064 01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:46,120 Speaker 7: and Hitler, and inside there are about ten other evil 2065 01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:49,240 Speaker 7: doers that can put them all on the cover. And 2066 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:51,920 Speaker 7: that book is going to be very controversial, that's for sure, 2067 01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:55,639 Speaker 7: because you're going to learn things about Everybody thinks they 2068 01:51:55,680 --> 01:52:00,679 Speaker 7: know these evil doers, but you really don't. Know extent 2069 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:04,320 Speaker 7: of what they did, and so we're editing that now, 2070 01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:07,520 Speaker 7: actually going to turn it in next week to the publisher. 2071 01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:10,400 Speaker 1: And going back to your comments about the mainstream media, 2072 01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:12,800 Speaker 1: he's evil, He's evil. This reminds me of the whole 2073 01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:15,760 Speaker 1: campaign that Donald Trump's a Nazi, which suggests to me 2074 01:52:15,800 --> 01:52:18,479 Speaker 1: that they don't understand the definition of the Nationalist Socialist Party. 2075 01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:23,880 Speaker 1: But ignoring their ignorance, they cling to this notion that 2076 01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:26,439 Speaker 1: somehow he is an evil man. But look what he 2077 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:29,160 Speaker 1: is doing, and he's brilliant in his strategy. Beginning with 2078 01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:31,840 Speaker 1: deporting illegal immigrants, not all of them, not going in 2079 01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:33,960 Speaker 1: and grabbing moms who've been here for ten years. They're 2080 01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:38,559 Speaker 1: going after criminals, child rapists, for example. And the left 2081 01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:43,360 Speaker 1: and the Democrats that are out protesting this are trying 2082 01:52:43,400 --> 01:52:47,519 Speaker 1: to defend the indefensible. I really can't imagine any human 2083 01:52:47,600 --> 01:52:51,240 Speaker 1: being of any political stripe wanting a child molester in 2084 01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:53,599 Speaker 1: their neighborhood. If that person came here illegally and could 2085 01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:55,760 Speaker 1: be easily ejected from our country. 2086 01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:02,680 Speaker 7: Here's the game. Most Americans who follow the news, and 2087 01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:06,560 Speaker 7: that would be about half of us, so half the population, 2088 01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,880 Speaker 7: they don't know what the deuce is going on, and 2089 01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:13,840 Speaker 7: that's their choice. I mean, they just are lazy or disinterested, 2090 01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,600 Speaker 7: whatever it may be. But the people who follow the 2091 01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:24,760 Speaker 7: cycle understand that the Trump administration wants immigration law enforced, 2092 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:29,560 Speaker 7: and the way to do that is to present to 2093 01:53:29,640 --> 01:53:33,559 Speaker 7: the public the danger of not enforcing it. And just 2094 01:53:33,600 --> 01:53:38,160 Speaker 7: as you just said, you have fourteen million people allowed 2095 01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:41,160 Speaker 7: in by Biden, well, ten percent of those people are 2096 01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:44,320 Speaker 7: going to be heinous criminals. That's ten percent of every 2097 01:53:44,400 --> 01:53:49,559 Speaker 7: group is evil. So that's one million, four hundred thousand, 2098 01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:54,680 Speaker 7: all right, that are running around causing trouble. And the 2099 01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:58,600 Speaker 7: problem is that when ice raids and when they go 2100 01:53:58,720 --> 01:54:03,760 Speaker 7: in they're there are undocumented migrants who do not have 2101 01:54:03,800 --> 01:54:06,719 Speaker 7: a criminal record that are swept up in the raid. 2102 01:54:07,520 --> 01:54:11,320 Speaker 7: So for example, they are living with the bank robber, 2103 01:54:12,120 --> 01:54:15,600 Speaker 7: they are living with the drug dealer. A lot of 2104 01:54:15,640 --> 01:54:19,600 Speaker 7: women are in this category and they have a child. 2105 01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:24,040 Speaker 7: Well that woman and child, they're swept up. They're taken 2106 01:54:24,520 --> 01:54:27,960 Speaker 7: because they're in the residence with the dope dealer. The 2107 01:54:28,080 --> 01:54:32,600 Speaker 7: press cleaves that off and said, oh, look at this, 2108 01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:37,360 Speaker 7: this woman never did anything, and they're Burtner. How dishonest 2109 01:54:37,440 --> 01:54:40,240 Speaker 7: is that they don't explain that the woman is a 2110 01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:43,800 Speaker 7: relationship with the drug dealer. So what are you supposed 2111 01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:48,600 Speaker 7: to do? And I could give you a hundred examples 2112 01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,280 Speaker 7: of that kind of press dishonesty and I do on 2113 01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:55,240 Speaker 7: the No Spin News every day. Means what we do 2114 01:54:55,880 --> 01:54:59,040 Speaker 7: because we have to protect Americans from falsehoods. 2115 01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:02,560 Speaker 1: Well, and the other thing component, and I talk about 2116 01:55:02,560 --> 01:55:05,280 Speaker 1: low hanging fruit, defending the indefensible, is what the left 2117 01:55:05,320 --> 01:55:07,280 Speaker 1: is trying to do. When you look at, for example, 2118 01:55:07,320 --> 01:55:10,120 Speaker 1: some of the programs that were revealed by the Doge 2119 01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:13,480 Speaker 1: effort over US eight, you know, tens of millions, hundreds 2120 01:55:13,480 --> 01:55:15,760 Speaker 1: of millions of dollars of the American taxpayers money going 2121 01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:21,240 Speaker 1: to programs that on their face are wholly indefensible. And 2122 01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:25,280 Speaker 1: yet and the second component of that is nobody knows 2123 01:55:25,400 --> 01:55:28,680 Speaker 1: if the money actually went to any given program to 2124 01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:31,560 Speaker 1: accomplish the goal that was stated in the grant. They 2125 01:55:31,560 --> 01:55:33,680 Speaker 1: don't follow the reality. And it seems to me just 2126 01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:36,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of bribes, kickbacks, and payoffs for a bunch 2127 01:55:36,160 --> 01:55:38,400 Speaker 1: of organizations, either here within the country or out in 2128 01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:41,080 Speaker 1: the world. They're just soaking up the American taxpayers dollars. 2129 01:55:42,200 --> 01:55:46,760 Speaker 7: It's always been that way whenever American tax money leaves 2130 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:49,680 Speaker 7: the United States and goes to a foreign country, we 2131 01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:53,280 Speaker 7: don't have any authority over it. So we don't have 2132 01:55:53,360 --> 01:56:00,960 Speaker 7: investigators in Gaza, or in Israel or in Ukraine to 2133 01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:05,280 Speaker 7: make sure that the money is spent the way it's designated. 2134 01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:10,600 Speaker 7: That it's never existing. So Trump, that drives him nuts. 2135 01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:14,640 Speaker 7: That drives him absolutely crazy. And what he did was 2136 01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:18,080 Speaker 7: he said, look to Musk you find out the most 2137 01:56:18,120 --> 01:56:22,400 Speaker 7: extreme examples, and I'll present it to the American people 2138 01:56:22,720 --> 01:56:25,720 Speaker 7: and we'll try to clean this thing up to some extent. 2139 01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:28,840 Speaker 7: They'll never be able to clean it up entirely, but 2140 01:56:29,320 --> 01:56:31,960 Speaker 7: we'll try to get people outraged about the waste of 2141 01:56:32,040 --> 01:56:35,960 Speaker 7: taxpayer's dollars. That's what they're doing now. The fact that 2142 01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:40,840 Speaker 7: the Democrats are resisting, that works the Trump's advantage and 2143 01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:44,440 Speaker 7: the Republican Party's advantage, because most Americans they go, well, 2144 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:50,280 Speaker 7: why aren't you supporting programs that are better? Why you 2145 01:56:50,400 --> 01:56:53,920 Speaker 7: want millions of dollars to go to a sesame street 2146 01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:58,400 Speaker 7: show in Iraq? That there's no good for anybody. If 2147 01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:02,240 Speaker 7: they want a sesame streets let them put it on. Yeah, 2148 01:57:02,520 --> 01:57:04,320 Speaker 7: why do we have to put its pay for it? 2149 01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:04,920 Speaker 16: All? 2150 01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:05,240 Speaker 8: Right? 2151 01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:12,000 Speaker 7: So the Democratic Party at this point is fracturing, and 2152 01:57:12,040 --> 01:57:13,919 Speaker 7: I don't know if they're going to come back anytime 2153 01:57:13,960 --> 01:57:17,160 Speaker 7: soon because there's no leader. They don't have a leader, 2154 01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:21,520 Speaker 7: and without a leader, it's all over the place. So 2155 01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:25,360 Speaker 7: they're actually losing ground, even in the face of Trump 2156 01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:26,600 Speaker 7: being so controversial. 2157 01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:29,440 Speaker 1: Well, and one of the things most identified he was 2158 01:57:29,440 --> 01:57:34,560 Speaker 1: looking at social Security and all of the folks over 2159 01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:36,720 Speaker 1: the age of one hundred who are still at least 2160 01:57:36,760 --> 01:57:39,000 Speaker 1: on the books eligible and this remains to be seen 2161 01:57:39,040 --> 01:57:42,440 Speaker 1: whether checks are still going out to them, but everyone is, 2162 01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:45,760 Speaker 1: it seems, counting on Social Security again, regardless of political stripe. 2163 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:49,200 Speaker 1: When you see that, if you just are a casual 2164 01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:52,360 Speaker 1: political observer, you're like, wait a second, what, there's people 2165 01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:54,200 Speaker 1: on the Social Security roles that are one hundred and 2166 01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:56,720 Speaker 1: fifty years old. How can that be? The things underwater? 2167 01:57:56,760 --> 01:57:59,600 Speaker 1: The CBO has been warning about it for decades. Nobody 2168 01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,040 Speaker 1: lives to try to salvage the system that so many 2169 01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:04,000 Speaker 1: people think that that's what they're going to have to 2170 01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:09,120 Speaker 1: rely on in retirement. That angers a lot of people, sure. 2171 01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:12,640 Speaker 7: And it should, but it's unrealistic to think that in 2172 01:58:12,680 --> 01:58:15,880 Speaker 7: a nation of three hundred and fifty million people that 2173 01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:18,800 Speaker 7: the federal government is going to be able to monitor 2174 01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:22,840 Speaker 7: every check entitlement check that goes out. They're never going 2175 01:58:22,880 --> 01:58:25,240 Speaker 7: to be able to do that. But you want to 2176 01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:30,440 Speaker 7: bring some kind of discipline into these agencies. And under 2177 01:58:30,520 --> 01:58:36,200 Speaker 7: Biden there was zero accountability. It got way out of control. 2178 01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:42,400 Speaker 7: The COVID stuff was insane, absolutely, Okay. Trump is trying 2179 01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:50,000 Speaker 7: to bring in a new paradigm for these agencies where 2180 01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:53,800 Speaker 7: they have to apply some kind of discipline. They have 2181 01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:56,320 Speaker 7: to get rid of the IVYA logues, they have to 2182 01:58:56,400 --> 01:58:58,920 Speaker 7: hire people who are going to watch the dough. Now 2183 01:58:58,960 --> 01:59:02,880 Speaker 7: is he going to succeed? Partially because it should. The 2184 01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:07,000 Speaker 7: problem is just to mammot. But he's doing the right thing. 2185 01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:13,400 Speaker 7: But again, the press is so hateful toward him. They're 2186 01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:15,800 Speaker 7: never going to say that, they're never going to report 2187 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:20,440 Speaker 7: on him fairly. And therefore many millions of Americans think 2188 01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,240 Speaker 7: the guys the devil because they don't really pay attention 2189 01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:25,120 Speaker 7: to what's actually happening. 2190 01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:27,600 Speaker 1: Well, Elon Musk said it the other day, and I 2191 01:59:27,680 --> 01:59:29,960 Speaker 1: have to paraphrase because I can't quote the man, but 2192 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:34,240 Speaker 1: he warned of what is quite literally the existential threat 2193 01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:36,760 Speaker 1: posed by our national debt and deficit, and that we 2194 01:59:36,840 --> 01:59:40,040 Speaker 1: are going to fall apart, literally, and we will fall 2195 01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:42,120 Speaker 1: apart along with the rest of the world, who seems 2196 01:59:42,160 --> 01:59:45,920 Speaker 1: to rely on the American taxpayers to stay afloat. Somebody said, 2197 01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:48,040 Speaker 1: you know, oh well, yeah, this whole idea about you. Well, 2198 01:59:48,080 --> 01:59:50,879 Speaker 1: I'll just move to New Zealand if the Fiat currency collapsed. 2199 01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:52,600 Speaker 1: He said, no, that's not going to be possible because 2200 01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:54,120 Speaker 1: New Zealand will go down the toilet too. 2201 01:59:55,080 --> 02:00:02,640 Speaker 7: Sure, And you can't tax the people anymore, Brian, you can't. 2202 02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:08,440 Speaker 7: They're just up to their eyebrows in paying to local, 2203 02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:12,480 Speaker 7: state and federal officials. I mean, New York, where I live, 2204 02:00:12,760 --> 02:00:15,040 Speaker 7: is the highest tax state in the Union. We are 2205 02:00:15,080 --> 02:00:19,320 Speaker 7: losing hundreds of thousands of people a year moving out 2206 02:00:19,320 --> 02:00:25,800 Speaker 7: of here, and replacing those people are foreign nationals who 2207 02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:29,960 Speaker 7: are on welfare. Okay, so the people who are earning 2208 02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:34,840 Speaker 7: a decent buck they're leaving replaced by people who need 2209 02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:39,560 Speaker 7: government assistance. Now I'm generalizing, but that's the accurate picture. 2210 02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:43,960 Speaker 7: So the Democratic Party again doesn't seem to understand that 2211 02:00:44,520 --> 02:00:49,120 Speaker 7: you cannot tax people any more than you are now. 2212 02:00:50,200 --> 02:00:53,200 Speaker 7: And then Bernie Sanders and these socialist all the brillionaires. 2213 02:00:53,760 --> 02:00:56,680 Speaker 7: That's a bunch of garbage. There are very few of 2214 02:00:56,720 --> 02:01:02,879 Speaker 7: those people. The bulk of the tax receipts are working class, 2215 02:01:03,320 --> 02:01:08,960 Speaker 7: blue collar folks who cannot pay anymore. So you've got 2216 02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:13,120 Speaker 7: to cut the waste and the massive spending, which is 2217 02:01:13,160 --> 02:01:14,800 Speaker 7: what Musk has been tasked to. 2218 02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:17,720 Speaker 1: Do well and so far doing an excellent job of 2219 02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:20,600 Speaker 1: elevating this type of thing to the average americans attention 2220 02:01:21,040 --> 02:01:23,600 Speaker 1: and the average Americans seeing some positive in all this 2221 02:01:23,720 --> 02:01:25,480 Speaker 1: based upon the points you've made today here on the 2222 02:01:25,520 --> 02:01:28,040 Speaker 1: Morning Show, and we can only hope that the energy 2223 02:01:28,080 --> 02:01:30,839 Speaker 1: and the effort behind it continues to neure to our advantage. 2224 02:01:30,880 --> 02:01:34,080 Speaker 1: Because we go back the other direction, we're stuck. We're screwed. 2225 02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you may as well just pull the flag 2226 02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:39,600 Speaker 1: down and go hide in a hole or something. Bill O'Reilly. 2227 02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:45,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, the Trump administration has an opportunity. It needs 2228 02:01:45,280 --> 02:01:47,720 Speaker 7: to be more disciplined. I don't think that's going to happen. 2229 02:01:48,200 --> 02:01:52,280 Speaker 7: That's not how the president rolls, as a cliche goes, 2230 02:01:54,040 --> 02:01:57,080 Speaker 7: I would do it a little bit differently in style form. 2231 02:01:57,760 --> 02:02:01,120 Speaker 7: But what they're trying to do is a positive for 2232 02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:06,280 Speaker 7: the country. Unfortunately, many people in the country don't understand 2233 02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:09,560 Speaker 7: that now, but you know we all do what we do, Brian. 2234 02:02:09,640 --> 02:02:11,919 Speaker 7: I mean, you do a good show every morning and 2235 02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:14,800 Speaker 7: in Cincinnati and tell the folks what you think. I 2236 02:02:14,880 --> 02:02:16,960 Speaker 7: do the same thing on Bill O'Reilly dot com, and 2237 02:02:17,000 --> 02:02:19,360 Speaker 7: I write the books and I get the word out 2238 02:02:19,440 --> 02:02:21,640 Speaker 7: and then folks believe what they want to believe. But 2239 02:02:22,400 --> 02:02:25,879 Speaker 7: we have an opportunity here in the next forty seven months. 2240 02:02:26,160 --> 02:02:29,840 Speaker 7: That's what Trump has, and if he does well, then 2241 02:02:29,920 --> 02:02:32,720 Speaker 7: Vance will be the next president because I don't think 2242 02:02:32,760 --> 02:02:34,879 Speaker 7: the Democratic Party is going to be able to recover 2243 02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:38,600 Speaker 7: in uh, you know, the forty seven months that Trump 2244 02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:39,480 Speaker 7: has well. 2245 02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:42,080 Speaker 1: They're going to have to find somebody other than Gavin Newsome, 2246 02:02:42,960 --> 02:02:47,040 Speaker 1: the guy no backbench finished, thankfully, no backbench in the 2247 02:02:47,040 --> 02:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Democrat Party.

She's spent at 2264 02:03:30,200 --> 02:03:32,200 Speaker 1: the center of the US energy and environmental policy for 2265 02:03:32,240 --> 02:03:34,640 Speaker 1: a full decade. From the Senate cloak room of the 2266 02:03:34,680 --> 02:03:38,360 Speaker 1: Oval Office of veteran environmental attorney, energy strategist, and communicator, 2267 02:03:38,680 --> 02:03:41,360 Speaker 1: served during President Trump's first term as chief of staff 2268 02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:44,480 Speaker 1: at the US Environmental Protection Agency. Currently a visiting fellowt 2269 02:03:44,480 --> 02:03:47,200 Speaker 1: the Heritage Foundation, and welcome back. It is a real 2270 02:03:47,240 --> 02:03:48,920 Speaker 1: pleasure to have you back on the show. Mandy. 2271 02:03:49,920 --> 02:03:50,800 Speaker 19: Yeah, good to be with you. 2272 02:03:50,840 --> 02:03:51,080 Speaker 2: Brian. 2273 02:03:51,440 --> 02:03:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, can I just sort of sum up what 2274 02:03:53,680 --> 02:03:57,400 Speaker 1: I think your perception is that this DOGE Department is 2275 02:03:57,440 --> 02:03:59,200 Speaker 1: like the answer to your dreams? 2276 02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:02,640 Speaker 19: Yeah, I think he summed it up, Well, it really 2277 02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:04,680 Speaker 19: is and it's man, it's such a beautiful thing to 2278 02:04:04,720 --> 02:04:09,160 Speaker 19: see because having been on the inside, even in my 2279 02:04:09,200 --> 02:04:13,080 Speaker 19: position as chief of staff and the access to the 2280 02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:15,800 Speaker 19: information that I had, it was hard to paint the 2281 02:04:15,840 --> 02:04:20,480 Speaker 19: whole picture. You could pinpoint specific types of waste, fraud 2282 02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:24,480 Speaker 19: or abuse or redundancies and efficiencies. You could pinpoint those 2283 02:04:24,480 --> 02:04:26,760 Speaker 19: sorts of things. But it really is a beautiful thing 2284 02:04:26,800 --> 02:04:29,400 Speaker 19: where you have someone like Elon and his really talented 2285 02:04:29,440 --> 02:04:32,680 Speaker 19: team of software engineers going and looking at the data 2286 02:04:32,960 --> 02:04:35,520 Speaker 19: and then painting a big picture in ways that all 2287 02:04:35,560 --> 02:04:37,360 Speaker 19: of us can understand and all of us can see 2288 02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:41,600 Speaker 19: is an absolute misuse of taxpayer resources. So yeah, it's 2289 02:04:41,600 --> 02:04:42,760 Speaker 19: an answer to a lot of prayers. 2290 02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,200 Speaker 1: Actually, well, sunlight, it's a great disinfect and lords were 2291 02:04:45,200 --> 02:04:46,720 Speaker 1: getting a lot of it. And one of the problems 2292 02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:48,920 Speaker 1: that I'm sure you probably during your period of time 2293 02:04:48,960 --> 02:04:52,240 Speaker 1: in the administration, we're as frustrated as anybody else the 2294 02:04:52,440 --> 02:04:56,120 Speaker 1: obstructionism that comes when people that are responsible for the 2295 02:04:56,200 --> 02:05:01,360 Speaker 1: oversight of our dollars, subcommittees, committees, the cong the Congress women, 2296 02:05:01,400 --> 02:05:04,520 Speaker 1: the senators when they're told basically go to hell when 2297 02:05:04,520 --> 02:05:05,440 Speaker 1: they ask for information. 2298 02:05:07,040 --> 02:05:11,680 Speaker 19: Yeah, really, I know, I know, it's it's really frustrating, 2299 02:05:11,800 --> 02:05:14,360 Speaker 19: and it's you know, that is part of their responsibility. 2300 02:05:14,400 --> 02:05:17,680 Speaker 19: Their responsibility is to report back to the public how 2301 02:05:17,680 --> 02:05:20,080 Speaker 19: they're using these funds and what it's actually doing. But 2302 02:05:20,480 --> 02:05:22,760 Speaker 19: it's not just the members of Congress. I mean, it's 2303 02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:27,480 Speaker 19: also these bureaucrats, these entrenched deep state bureaucrats. And here's 2304 02:05:27,560 --> 02:05:31,600 Speaker 19: the truth. There is a there is a crisis of 2305 02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:35,200 Speaker 19: expertise on Capitol Hill. Frankly, you have a lot of 2306 02:05:35,240 --> 02:05:37,400 Speaker 19: people there that don't really know what they're doing. So 2307 02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:41,680 Speaker 19: they're wholly dependent on deep state bureaucrats who've been working 2308 02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:44,080 Speaker 19: at their job for thirty years to give them information 2309 02:05:44,200 --> 02:05:46,920 Speaker 19: they don't otherwise know how to get. So that's how 2310 02:05:46,960 --> 02:05:49,080 Speaker 19: the deep state works. They don't give them all the information. 2311 02:05:49,200 --> 02:05:52,000 Speaker 19: Maybe they give them a little drip drip here. But 2312 02:05:52,160 --> 02:05:56,160 Speaker 19: it's been many decades of this type of imbalance between 2313 02:05:57,040 --> 02:05:59,480 Speaker 19: an agency funded to eight at to the tune of 2314 02:05:59,520 --> 02:06:03,200 Speaker 19: eight billionion dollars and as EP is an example, with 2315 02:06:03,360 --> 02:06:07,160 Speaker 19: that oversight staff of less than two million dollars trying 2316 02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:09,839 Speaker 19: to perform oversight and so you just have this massive 2317 02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:14,480 Speaker 19: mismatch and the resulting consequences is just decades of layers 2318 02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,440 Speaker 19: of complexity and us not knowing how our resources are 2319 02:06:17,480 --> 02:06:18,400 Speaker 19: spent well. 2320 02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:20,920 Speaker 1: And it's also seemed to be very obviously a just 2321 02:06:21,040 --> 02:06:24,680 Speaker 1: simple lack of care of how money is spent. I mean, 2322 02:06:25,200 --> 02:06:27,520 Speaker 1: Musk over the weekend was talking about, you know, over 2323 02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:33,879 Speaker 1: looking at through the the Department of Treasury, right Treasury Department, 2324 02:06:34,120 --> 02:06:35,560 Speaker 1: and he says, you know, I was told that there 2325 02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:37,280 Speaker 1: are currently over one hundred billion dollars a year of 2326 02:06:37,280 --> 02:06:40,120 Speaker 1: in timement payments individual with no social Security number, even 2327 02:06:40,160 --> 02:06:43,200 Speaker 1: a temporary ID number. And see, you know, he pulls 2328 02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:45,280 Speaker 1: the room and Treasury he says, what percentage of that 2329 02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:48,840 Speaker 1: is unequivocal obvious fraud? And the consensus in the room 2330 02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:52,480 Speaker 1: was at least fifty billion dollars of it. That's something 2331 02:06:52,560 --> 02:06:55,720 Speaker 1: that's as simple to fix. Look, no social Security number, 2332 02:06:55,760 --> 02:06:58,240 Speaker 1: no ID, you don't get any money. How hard is that? 2333 02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:00,720 Speaker 16: It shouldn't be difficult at all. 2334 02:07:00,880 --> 02:07:04,440 Speaker 19: But that's what these agencies they've just become all about, 2335 02:07:04,560 --> 02:07:08,520 Speaker 19: constantly asking for more money. There is no incentive for 2336 02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:12,960 Speaker 19: the everyday bureaucrat to find ways to be incentive, to 2337 02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:16,560 Speaker 19: find ways to cut costs and to be truthful about 2338 02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:20,680 Speaker 19: the expenditure of those costs. And there's this mentality, this 2339 02:07:20,840 --> 02:07:24,520 Speaker 19: culture in DC that people are almost entitled to these 2340 02:07:24,560 --> 02:07:27,360 Speaker 19: taxpayer resources, and when you come in and you ask questions, 2341 02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:30,720 Speaker 19: they like to pretend like they're these global do gooders 2342 02:07:30,760 --> 02:07:33,560 Speaker 19: and they're saying, oh, but this poor person is going 2343 02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:37,080 Speaker 19: to lose access to these resources that they really need. Meanwhile, 2344 02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:39,720 Speaker 19: that person isn't even getting the funds. To the extent 2345 02:07:39,760 --> 02:07:42,160 Speaker 19: they're getting any it's barely enough to actually live. But 2346 02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:44,440 Speaker 19: you know what's coming off the top. A fair amount 2347 02:07:44,520 --> 02:07:46,760 Speaker 19: is coming off the top and going to nonprofits that 2348 02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:50,320 Speaker 19: either pad them personally or their relatives or just grow 2349 02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:53,160 Speaker 19: the power of the left, which is ultimately what they want. 2350 02:07:53,520 --> 02:07:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, non governmental organizations NGOs, you know, and quite the world. 2351 02:07:57,320 --> 02:07:59,640 Speaker 1: We're five oh one C three, we're not for profit. Yeah, 2352 02:07:59,640 --> 02:08:01,680 Speaker 1: but you're making a salary of four hundred, five hundred 2353 02:08:01,680 --> 02:08:04,920 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year as president or CEO the five 2354 02:08:05,000 --> 02:08:07,839 Speaker 1: oh one C three. I mean, that's what's happening. 2355 02:08:09,480 --> 02:08:13,480 Speaker 19: Yeah, that's exactly right. And it's it's so discussing so 2356 02:08:13,600 --> 02:08:16,720 Speaker 19: many of them is going to the spouses of people. Yeah, 2357 02:08:17,280 --> 02:08:19,960 Speaker 19: you know, just look at the net worth of someone 2358 02:08:20,040 --> 02:08:23,800 Speaker 19: like Samantha Power. She was the administrator that had essentially 2359 02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:28,160 Speaker 19: of USAID and her net worth grew five times. I 2360 02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,400 Speaker 19: think that's right. It's around that it's a significant number. 2361 02:08:30,880 --> 02:08:34,360 Speaker 19: Grew five times. Her salary has been the same. Salaries 2362 02:08:34,440 --> 02:08:37,000 Speaker 19: for bureaucrats are typically capped out around one hundred and 2363 02:08:37,080 --> 02:08:40,840 Speaker 19: eighty thousand dollars. Yeah, somehow she has a mass a 2364 02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:44,120 Speaker 19: multi million dollar fortune, and it just leaves you scratching 2365 02:08:44,160 --> 02:08:47,000 Speaker 19: your head, Huh where did that money come from? And 2366 02:08:47,080 --> 02:08:49,960 Speaker 19: it's most likely because it was funneled to nonprofits of 2367 02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:52,360 Speaker 19: what she or her family was sitting on the board 2368 02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,120 Speaker 19: and they get to reap the benefits of millions of 2369 02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:58,360 Speaker 19: dollars of taxpayer funds going into their back pocket, and 2370 02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:00,640 Speaker 19: they cover it up by saying, well, we're helping the 2371 02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:03,920 Speaker 19: poor in the world, We're giving people in Africa access 2372 02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:06,600 Speaker 19: to water and food. But really they are just patting 2373 02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:07,800 Speaker 19: their own personal coffers. 2374 02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Well, and as I read through the list of these 2375 02:09:10,720 --> 02:09:13,280 Speaker 1: things that the DOGE has revealed and the comments from 2376 02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:17,360 Speaker 1: the senators that you know, I had no idea that 2377 02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:19,680 Speaker 1: this money was being spent this way, and I said, 2378 02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:22,880 Speaker 1: wait a second, aren't you responsible for the power of 2379 02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,760 Speaker 1: the purse. I mean, you go ahead and you allocate 2380 02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:29,400 Speaker 1: forty million dollars to USA, but then you stop. Somebody 2381 02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:31,840 Speaker 1: had to approve the project. But ultimately, you know, twenty 2382 02:09:31,880 --> 02:09:34,240 Speaker 1: million dollars goes to a sesame street show in Iraq, 2383 02:09:35,080 --> 02:09:36,840 Speaker 1: And then how much of that twenty million dollars really 2384 02:09:36,920 --> 02:09:38,920 Speaker 1: went to the Sesame street show in a rock production. 2385 02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:42,520 Speaker 1: It didn't land in some corrupt officials pocket. They don't 2386 02:09:42,640 --> 02:09:45,400 Speaker 1: follow the trail of the money, and it just stops 2387 02:09:45,440 --> 02:09:49,200 Speaker 1: once the aid's been allocated to the general collective us 2388 02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:50,040 Speaker 1: AID fund. 2389 02:09:51,440 --> 02:09:55,400 Speaker 19: Yeah, that's right, and it's there's no accountability and no oversight. 2390 02:09:55,520 --> 02:09:57,640 Speaker 19: And that's why you see the people who are screaming 2391 02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:00,200 Speaker 19: the most are the ones who have the most to 2392 02:10:00,320 --> 02:10:04,360 Speaker 19: lose in terms of this personal racket or money laundering scheme, 2393 02:10:04,360 --> 02:10:04,880 Speaker 19: if you will, that. 2394 02:10:05,200 --> 02:10:06,160 Speaker 8: That is what it is. 2395 02:10:07,080 --> 02:10:10,440 Speaker 19: These people are using their positions of trust and consequence 2396 02:10:10,760 --> 02:10:13,280 Speaker 19: to siphon money off to the side to their benefit. 2397 02:10:13,720 --> 02:10:17,880 Speaker 19: And they use stories of people that most people would 2398 02:10:17,920 --> 02:10:20,360 Speaker 19: say like, yeah, they could use some help, or of 2399 02:10:20,440 --> 02:10:23,280 Speaker 19: course we would want to take care of these vulnerable populations. 2400 02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:26,800 Speaker 19: They use that as a cover for their own sick game, 2401 02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:29,640 Speaker 19: and those are the people who are sitting outside of 2402 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:32,880 Speaker 19: USAID or some of these other areas that are throwing 2403 02:10:33,000 --> 02:10:35,640 Speaker 19: up their hands. And the Democrat members of Congress are 2404 02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:39,400 Speaker 19: at the front of the line because they are recipients 2405 02:10:39,560 --> 02:10:45,040 Speaker 19: of campaign donations from these people who are putting taxpayer resources. 2406 02:10:44,520 --> 02:10:45,320 Speaker 8: In their own pocket. 2407 02:10:45,600 --> 02:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the to me, that is the most 2408 02:10:48,200 --> 02:10:51,520 Speaker 1: I don't I want to call it comical that they're 2409 02:10:51,560 --> 02:10:54,080 Speaker 1: screaming at the top of their lungs over these funds 2410 02:10:54,160 --> 02:10:58,720 Speaker 1: being identified, these outlandish, outrageous programs that no American could 2411 02:10:58,800 --> 02:11:02,120 Speaker 1: find straight faced legitimate. They're not saying that the money 2412 02:11:02,240 --> 02:11:06,200 Speaker 1: didn't go to these stupid programs like shrimp running on treadmills. 2413 02:11:06,640 --> 02:11:10,560 Speaker 1: They're just screaming about the general focus on USA and 2414 02:11:10,640 --> 02:11:13,200 Speaker 1: the fraud, waste and abuse and defending it for some reason. 2415 02:11:13,360 --> 02:11:16,640 Speaker 1: Just there's there's no denial here, There's no that didn't happen. 2416 02:11:17,000 --> 02:11:19,440 Speaker 1: That's a lie. Elon Musk is making that up. 2417 02:11:20,240 --> 02:11:27,000 Speaker 19: It's yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's just frustrating to 2418 02:11:27,080 --> 02:11:29,840 Speaker 19: see and I will say though, it's it's frustrating to 2419 02:11:29,880 --> 02:11:32,160 Speaker 19: see some of the reaction, but you know, those people 2420 02:11:32,160 --> 02:11:34,360 Speaker 19: are in the minority now and that is a really 2421 02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:37,720 Speaker 19: wonderful feeling and the cats out of the bag. I mean, again, 2422 02:11:37,800 --> 02:11:40,400 Speaker 19: those of us who are on the inside. Some of 2423 02:11:40,480 --> 02:11:42,560 Speaker 19: it was the fact that we didn't really understand the 2424 02:11:42,680 --> 02:11:45,760 Speaker 19: links the deep State would go to cover their tracks, 2425 02:11:46,080 --> 02:11:48,800 Speaker 19: and they had decades to figure out ways to cover 2426 02:11:48,920 --> 02:11:50,840 Speaker 19: up their tracks, and they're very, very good at it. 2427 02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:53,760 Speaker 19: So we were all in there. You know, you're drinking 2428 02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:56,880 Speaker 19: from a fire hose is the words people often used 2429 02:11:56,880 --> 02:11:59,200 Speaker 19: to describe what it's like to go into these positions, 2430 02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:02,280 Speaker 19: and a lot of us went in not knowing that 2431 02:12:02,520 --> 02:12:05,240 Speaker 19: the tricks that the deep State would use not just 2432 02:12:05,360 --> 02:12:08,600 Speaker 19: to confuse, but to try to undermine and to hide 2433 02:12:09,040 --> 02:12:10,280 Speaker 19: what they were actually doing. 2434 02:12:10,480 --> 02:12:11,120 Speaker 16: All that's over. 2435 02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:14,240 Speaker 19: So it really is great to see Elon Musk his team, 2436 02:12:14,280 --> 02:12:18,200 Speaker 19: Department of Government Efficiency, and most importantly, the American people 2437 02:12:18,520 --> 02:12:21,200 Speaker 19: see this and they're behind the President and his work 2438 02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:22,240 Speaker 19: one hundred and ten percent. 2439 02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:25,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know it as well as I do. Yeah, Mandy, 2440 02:12:26,240 --> 02:12:29,040 Speaker 1: that they've only scratched the surface. I mean, Elon Musk 2441 02:12:29,080 --> 02:12:32,080 Speaker 1: has identified some real low hanging fruit just in one 2442 02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:34,800 Speaker 1: USA department I mentioned the Treasury Department. He's worked there 2443 02:12:34,800 --> 02:12:37,120 Speaker 1: as long as he can get his access back centers 2444 02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:42,280 Speaker 1: for Medicare and Medicaid Service, National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, Department 2445 02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:46,040 Speaker 1: of Energy, and Lord almighty, nobody wants me that wants 2446 02:12:46,080 --> 02:12:49,040 Speaker 1: the military spending to be audited more than me. They 2447 02:12:49,080 --> 02:12:51,520 Speaker 1: can't even pass ano audit seven or eight times in 2448 02:12:51,640 --> 02:12:55,400 Speaker 1: a row. Mandy, I know, and I'm sure. 2449 02:12:55,360 --> 02:12:57,560 Speaker 19: I'm sure you've seen. There was an interview not too 2450 02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:03,200 Speaker 19: long ago of one of the uh, one of the heads, 2451 02:13:03,600 --> 02:13:05,960 Speaker 19: one of the people who was responsible for these types 2452 02:13:06,000 --> 02:13:09,560 Speaker 19: of audits, and you know, she was just incredulous that 2453 02:13:09,640 --> 02:13:12,640 Speaker 19: people would wouldn't trust them. Yeah, we felled audits, but 2454 02:13:12,800 --> 02:13:15,640 Speaker 19: you don't understand what an audit is, is essentially her response, 2455 02:13:15,680 --> 02:13:18,240 Speaker 19: and it doesn't really matter. Like again, this goes through 2456 02:13:18,240 --> 02:13:21,200 Speaker 19: there's this culture of people in DC that are so 2457 02:13:21,520 --> 02:13:25,640 Speaker 19: arrogant and and so flippant about their very real responsibility. 2458 02:13:25,680 --> 02:13:28,840 Speaker 19: And when people come around asking basic questions that they 2459 02:13:28,920 --> 02:13:32,760 Speaker 19: cannot answer, uh, they just they try to belittle you 2460 02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:35,760 Speaker 19: to say that, well, you don't really understand it. If 2461 02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:37,680 Speaker 19: you were, if you were like me, you would understand. 2462 02:13:37,760 --> 02:13:41,160 Speaker 19: So yeah, look, Elon Musk is scratching the surface. This 2463 02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:46,760 Speaker 19: type of misuse and and miss expenditure of funds. It 2464 02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:50,080 Speaker 19: permeates every single agency.

This is all organized by the Democrat Party. 2528 02:16:40,480 --> 02:16:44,560 Speaker 1: And what frustrates me to no end, Vince Everett Ellison, 2529 02:16:45,000 --> 02:16:48,160 Speaker 1: is that they accuse the Republicans of doing everything that 2530 02:16:48,200 --> 02:16:51,080 Speaker 1: they're guilty of doing. They call Republicans fascist when they're 2531 02:16:51,120 --> 02:16:53,440 Speaker 1: the ones that want to dictate every determined condition of 2532 02:16:53,520 --> 02:16:56,920 Speaker 1: our lives, taking away our freedoms and liberties. How is 2533 02:16:56,959 --> 02:16:59,920 Speaker 1: it that they're so able to get away with flip 2534 02:17:00,320 --> 02:17:03,720 Speaker 1: the narrative on Republicans and accusing them of the very 2535 02:17:03,800 --> 02:17:04,400 Speaker 1: things that they do. 2536 02:17:05,959 --> 02:17:08,040 Speaker 18: Well, Because one of the chapters in my book is 2537 02:17:08,160 --> 02:17:13,440 Speaker 18: I'm exploiting a patsy every great criminal, Every great criminal 2538 02:17:13,560 --> 02:17:16,160 Speaker 18: always has it patsy before you even commits the crime. 2539 02:17:16,760 --> 02:17:19,640 Speaker 18: And that's what the General Fact Party does. Even during 2540 02:17:19,680 --> 02:17:22,320 Speaker 18: the Civil War. Then they said that the patsy was 2541 02:17:22,680 --> 02:17:24,760 Speaker 18: the Union Army. They told the slaves that the Union 2542 02:17:24,840 --> 02:17:27,640 Speaker 18: Union army is your inn, not us. So now what 2543 02:17:27,800 --> 02:17:30,080 Speaker 18: they do every crime, they say, we're going to put 2544 02:17:30,120 --> 02:17:32,560 Speaker 18: it on the Republican Party. And because the Republican Party 2545 02:17:32,600 --> 02:17:35,680 Speaker 18: does not exist, anywhere inside of the black community. Of course, 2546 02:17:36,360 --> 02:17:39,080 Speaker 18: black people believe it that you have the iron traang 2547 02:17:39,160 --> 02:17:41,120 Speaker 18: on my first book, I told you you talked about it. 2548 02:17:41,360 --> 02:17:44,640 Speaker 18: The black preacher, most black preachers, most black civil rights workers, 2549 02:17:44,720 --> 02:17:45,920 Speaker 18: and most black politicians. 2550 02:17:46,320 --> 02:17:46,720 Speaker 7: They work. 2551 02:17:46,920 --> 02:17:50,520 Speaker 18: They are conduits between rich white liberals and the black community. 2552 02:17:50,879 --> 02:17:53,440 Speaker 18: And their job is to make sure that Black people 2553 02:17:53,600 --> 02:17:56,119 Speaker 18: vote for these rich white liberals by hooker, by crook. 2554 02:17:56,440 --> 02:18:01,920 Speaker 18: They bribe them, sold to the polls, ballot harvesting, street money, intimidation, 2555 02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:04,320 Speaker 18: you name it, they do it, and they're good at it. 2556 02:18:04,680 --> 02:18:06,879 Speaker 18: And as you and I know, as an all ball 2557 02:18:06,959 --> 02:18:11,080 Speaker 18: billion terms, this is the ninety percent of any gear 2558 02:18:11,320 --> 02:18:13,879 Speaker 18: is just showing up. Democrats show up in the Black community. 2559 02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:16,480 Speaker 18: Republicans do not.

Tell them that they belong to the state. 2589 02:19:40,480 --> 02:19:43,520 Speaker 18: They've done that to the black community. And so when 2590 02:19:43,560 --> 02:19:46,560 Speaker 18: you demorlize the person, you can bring their information. You 2591 02:19:46,640 --> 02:19:49,680 Speaker 18: can show them everything.

You can show it demralized alcoholic that 2594 02:19:55,560 --> 02:19:57,640 Speaker 18: the alcohol is killing him and he'll still drinking. You 2595 02:19:57,680 --> 02:19:59,879 Speaker 18: can take a the demorralized woman whose husband is beating her, 2596 02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:02,160 Speaker 18: a boyfriend is beating her almost to death every day 2597 02:20:02,200 --> 02:20:05,120 Speaker 18: and say you must leave them, and she will not go. C. S. 2598 02:20:05,200 --> 02:20:07,560 Speaker 18: Lewis said, hell is a choice, and people choose it 2599 02:20:07,640 --> 02:20:10,200 Speaker 18: every day.

But 2604 02:20:22,560 --> 02:20:24,640 Speaker 18: in nineteen seventy two, it talks about how the Marsians 2605 02:20:24,680 --> 02:20:27,080 Speaker 18: and the civil rights movement jumped from the Civil rights 2606 02:20:27,160 --> 02:20:29,640 Speaker 18: movement to the Democrat Party and then they took it 2607 02:20:29,680 --> 02:20:32,240 Speaker 18: over and made it a Marsians, a Martians organization and 2608 02:20:32,320 --> 02:20:36,760 Speaker 18: the finishes every spent holy but Shureley turn the Democrat 2609 02:20:36,840 --> 02:20:39,720 Speaker 18: Party from a rival of ignorant racist into the most 2610 02:20:39,760 --> 02:20:42,760 Speaker 18: sophisticated crime family in the history of the world. The 2611 02:20:42,840 --> 02:20:46,000 Speaker 18: Democrat Party is an evil organization. They've always been an 2612 02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:49,760 Speaker 18: emuls They've always been evil, they always will be evil, 2613 02:20:50,200 --> 02:20:51,320 Speaker 18: and we have to stop them. 2614 02:20:52,280 --> 02:20:54,119 Speaker 1: Did your I mean we were out speaking with people, 2615 02:20:54,240 --> 02:20:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, in among the black community, to go to 2616 02:20:56,040 --> 02:20:58,360 Speaker 1: these poor, impoverished neighborhoods where you grew up in those 2617 02:20:58,400 --> 02:21:00,880 Speaker 1: types of areas, and you preach your and you do 2618 02:21:01,080 --> 02:21:03,480 Speaker 1: sound like a preacher. You are a firm advocate. You 2619 02:21:03,600 --> 02:21:06,400 Speaker 1: mean what you say, and you say it in such 2620 02:21:06,400 --> 02:21:09,080 Speaker 1: a convincing way. What is the response from people who 2621 02:21:09,160 --> 02:21:12,400 Speaker 1: have been indoctrinated into believing that the only way for 2622 02:21:12,600 --> 02:21:16,400 Speaker 1: the poor, impoverished black person is to vote for Democrats? 2623 02:21:17,640 --> 02:21:21,640 Speaker 18: Standing ovations all around because they never heard the real message. Look, 2624 02:21:21,879 --> 02:21:26,280 Speaker 18: I did a documentary that I want your viewers to watch. 2625 02:21:26,320 --> 02:21:29,760 Speaker 18: The trailer from Tucker Carlston debuted on his show Before 2626 02:21:29,800 --> 02:21:31,800 Speaker 18: They Are Thoughts. The documentary is called Will You Go 2627 02:21:31,879 --> 02:21:35,040 Speaker 18: to Hell? From Me? And the interesting thing is here 2628 02:21:35,080 --> 02:21:38,519 Speaker 18: in Lynchburg Virginia where I live. A group of Republicans. 2629 02:21:38,600 --> 02:21:40,760 Speaker 18: They rented out a theater and showed us about a 2630 02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:43,880 Speaker 18: thousand people, ninety percent of them white. They gave the 2631 02:21:43,920 --> 02:21:47,200 Speaker 18: standing ovation at the end. Then in mississ Tennessee at 2632 02:21:47,280 --> 02:21:50,400 Speaker 18: World Overcomers Church, the largest by church in Memphis, twelve 2633 02:21:50,440 --> 02:21:52,680 Speaker 18: thousand and five, on that member church, they showed the 2634 02:21:52,760 --> 02:21:55,840 Speaker 18: same documentary. They got the standing ovation there too. Why 2635 02:21:56,240 --> 02:21:59,200 Speaker 18: because I give up the truth. People have their phones 2636 02:21:59,240 --> 02:22:01,879 Speaker 18: out looking at facts, and I give them actual fact. 2637 02:22:02,160 --> 02:22:04,120 Speaker 18: I proved to him that Martin Luther King Junior was 2638 02:22:04,160 --> 02:22:07,360 Speaker 18: a Martians, that he was an apostate preacher. I proved it. 2639 02:22:08,480 --> 02:22:10,920 Speaker 18: I showed that he got the Market Sing Award in 2640 02:22:11,000 --> 02:22:14,640 Speaker 18: nineteen sixty six, the first recipient of it. I approved 2641 02:22:14,680 --> 02:22:16,400 Speaker 18: that Margus King Junior was kicked out of the Black 2642 02:22:16,480 --> 02:22:18,480 Speaker 18: Church I'm trying to take it over from Martians in 2643 02:22:18,640 --> 02:22:21,720 Speaker 18: nineteen sixty one, and he started his own religion. He 2644 02:22:21,879 --> 02:22:23,920 Speaker 18: was kicked out of the National Baptist Conventions for killing 2645 02:22:23,959 --> 02:22:26,240 Speaker 18: a peak preacher on the floor trying to take it 2646 02:22:26,280 --> 02:22:29,120 Speaker 18: over for the Communists in nineteen sixty one, and so 2647 02:22:29,200 --> 02:22:31,120 Speaker 18: they kicked him out and he started his own religion. 2648 02:22:31,240 --> 02:22:35,760 Speaker 18: He called it the Progressive National Baptist Convention. It's the 2649 02:22:35,800 --> 02:22:38,160 Speaker 18: secret of Raspail Warnock to serve it from from Georgia 2650 02:22:38,200 --> 02:22:42,240 Speaker 18: belongs to yeah as an apostate group of crazy libertine ministers. 2651 02:22:42,640 --> 02:22:44,640 Speaker 18: I proved that Martin Luther King Junior was behind the 2652 02:22:44,680 --> 02:22:47,520 Speaker 18: man outcalls in welfare, where if you catch a man 2653 02:22:47,600 --> 02:22:50,560 Speaker 18: at home, the family can get no help from the 2654 02:22:50,600 --> 02:22:54,320 Speaker 18: federal government. And in one generation the black community was 2655 02:22:54,360 --> 02:22:56,720 Speaker 18: having eighties of their children being born in wedlocks, eight 2656 02:22:56,760 --> 02:22:59,480 Speaker 18: percent being born out of wet locks. I proved that 2657 02:22:59,600 --> 02:23:03,400 Speaker 18: in his I Have a Dream speech, he said, one 2658 02:23:03,480 --> 02:23:07,600 Speaker 18: hundred years after Emancipation Proclamation, the negro is still not free. 2659 02:23:08,200 --> 02:23:10,240 Speaker 18: And he said five times in their speech that we 2660 02:23:10,320 --> 02:23:12,960 Speaker 18: were not free, which is a lie. And then he 2661 02:23:13,040 --> 02:23:14,480 Speaker 18: said at the end of it, and you remember this 2662 02:23:14,600 --> 02:23:17,200 Speaker 18: refrain that on a certain certain day we'll be free 2663 02:23:17,240 --> 02:23:20,680 Speaker 18: at land, free at land. Thank God Almighty, we're. 2664 02:23:20,520 --> 02:23:21,200 Speaker 7: Free at lands. 2665 02:23:21,520 --> 02:23:24,680 Speaker 18: Well, the course of the Declaration of Independence and John 2666 02:23:24,800 --> 02:23:27,880 Speaker 18: Locke from the Second Taries of Government, I was born free. 2667 02:23:29,200 --> 02:23:32,000 Speaker 18: My freedom is a gift from God. It's an unalienable right. 2668 02:23:32,959 --> 02:23:37,199 Speaker 18: It is irrevocable, non transferable, and unsalable. It precedes the constitution. 2669 02:23:37,640 --> 02:23:41,520 Speaker 18: Government cannot touch it. That speech turned the Declaration of 2670 02:23:41,560 --> 02:23:44,240 Speaker 18: Independence on its head, and we make our children say 2671 02:23:44,280 --> 02:23:46,640 Speaker 18: it every year, and our children and our children is 2672 02:23:46,760 --> 02:23:48,400 Speaker 18: right over and over again that we are not free. 2673 02:23:49,160 --> 02:23:52,840 Speaker 18: We are free American. It's supersedes and it turns around 2674 02:23:52,920 --> 02:23:55,080 Speaker 18: everything that we believe about who we are. That our 2675 02:23:55,080 --> 02:23:57,760 Speaker 18: freedom comes from God. And Marninuther King Junior said, we 2676 02:23:57,800 --> 02:23:59,720 Speaker 18: have to go to government for our freedom. And this 2677 02:23:59,879 --> 02:24:01,800 Speaker 18: is that's why we have had a retrogression in the 2678 02:24:01,800 --> 02:24:04,120 Speaker 18: black community. This is why we march and we sing, 2679 02:24:04,320 --> 02:24:06,800 Speaker 18: what are you saying in that speech? We will never 2680 02:24:06,879 --> 02:24:09,720 Speaker 18: be satisfied. When will we be satisfied? Never until truth 2681 02:24:09,840 --> 02:24:11,760 Speaker 18: rolled down like water and right to this like a 2682 02:24:11,840 --> 02:24:15,880 Speaker 18: mighty stream. That's the fast way of saying never telling 2683 02:24:15,959 --> 02:24:18,840 Speaker 18: us to start white America, telling us to cry and 2684 02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:21,200 Speaker 18: beg and slobber and get the hell beat out of us, 2685 02:24:21,840 --> 02:24:24,680 Speaker 18: to try to get man to accept us. Where God says, 2686 02:24:24,879 --> 02:24:27,600 Speaker 18: you don't worry about man, you worry about me. You 2687 02:24:27,720 --> 02:24:30,800 Speaker 18: turn to God, not government. And this is why we're 2688 02:24:30,840 --> 02:24:33,920 Speaker 18: at the bottom of every socioeconomic statistic in America. And 2689 02:24:34,040 --> 02:24:37,000 Speaker 18: the best thing the white conservative ever did was lead 2690 02:24:37,080 --> 02:24:39,720 Speaker 18: the Democrat Party because they hadn't left them. They be 2691 02:24:39,800 --> 02:24:42,080 Speaker 18: exactly what the Black community down at the bottom of everything. 2692 02:24:42,920 --> 02:24:45,480 Speaker 18: So when I explained this to black people, when I 2693 02:24:45,600 --> 02:24:48,840 Speaker 18: show them why you are where you are, Jesus said 2694 02:24:48,879 --> 02:24:50,680 Speaker 18: that the tree is known by the fruit that bad. 2695 02:24:51,520 --> 02:24:53,760 Speaker 18: You cannot get good food from a bad tree or 2696 02:24:53,800 --> 02:24:55,440 Speaker 18: bad food from a good tree. Each tree and his 2697 02:24:55,480 --> 02:24:57,640 Speaker 18: fruit be out of his own. If the Black community 2698 02:24:57,879 --> 02:24:59,959 Speaker 18: is bad fruit right now, then the tree it came 2699 02:25:00,160 --> 02:25:02,160 Speaker 18: from with the bad fruit too, and the bad food 2700 02:25:02,240 --> 02:25:04,440 Speaker 18: is a Democrat Party and the civil rights movement. You 2701 02:25:04,560 --> 02:25:06,720 Speaker 18: can't get around it. So what do we do? 2702 02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:09,280 Speaker 6: We believe what our Bible says? 2703 02:25:10,160 --> 02:25:12,640 Speaker 18: What did God tell came when King was angry because 2704 02:25:12,680 --> 02:25:15,640 Speaker 18: he had rejected his offering? He said, King, why are 2705 02:25:15,640 --> 02:25:19,520 Speaker 18: you angry? If you do well, will you not be accepted? 2706 02:25:20,440 --> 02:25:22,720 Speaker 18: And if not, saying weas at the door to master you, 2707 02:25:23,320 --> 02:25:27,880 Speaker 18: you must master it. If you do well, will you 2708 02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:30,640 Speaker 18: not be accepted? And the left has not done well, 2709 02:25:31,280 --> 02:25:35,360 Speaker 18: so they tell people to march, envy, hate, treds christ burn, 2710 02:25:35,440 --> 02:25:38,800 Speaker 18: baby burn, no justice, no peace. Well, Jesus Christ, it 2711 02:25:38,959 --> 02:25:40,600 Speaker 18: my peace I give to you. Now let I leave 2712 02:25:40,640 --> 02:25:42,720 Speaker 18: it with you. We'll not free, he said, he who 2713 02:25:42,760 --> 02:25:46,080 Speaker 18: the sign has free is free. Indeed, the civil rights 2714 02:25:46,160 --> 02:25:49,360 Speaker 18: movement was an anti Christian movement. It was an anti 2715 02:25:49,400 --> 02:25:52,000 Speaker 18: American movement. And now we have to go back to 2716 02:25:52,160 --> 02:25:54,840 Speaker 18: our manhoods, to our gods, to our Bible. And it's 2717 02:25:54,840 --> 02:25:57,240 Speaker 18: going to take good Christians, black and white to unify 2718 02:25:57,440 --> 02:25:59,840 Speaker 18: and turn this country around. That's what I write about, 2719 02:26:00,040 --> 02:26:02,439 Speaker 18: that's what my films are about.
