1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,559 Speaker 1: Welcoming and happy to have her on the program. Isabelle Brown, 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: an author of a couple of books. This book we're 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: talking about the Morning the End of the Alphabet, How 4 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: gen Z can save America, which sounds very optimistic. It's 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,079 Speaker 1: a full time live streamer, independent content creator, giving a 6 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: voice to Generation Z by breaking down culture's most important 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: topics to thousands of viewers' real time. She streams and 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: other content or her streams and other content reach millions 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 1: of people around the world daily, so she is an influencer. 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: Her first book, frontlines, Finding My Voice on an American 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: college Campus. She's also a regular speaker on high school 12 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: and college campuses and activism to organizations worldwide. You saw 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: her on Newsweek cover and regular appearance on national and 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: international television and radio. Welcome to the program, Isabelle Brown, 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:43,919 Speaker 1: to talk about the End of the Alphabet. 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me. Excited to be here. 17 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: I'm excited to have you on. So first off, we're 18 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: going to figure out what we're talking about when we 19 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: say gen Z. Now, I've always felt sight of generation 20 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: letter confusion because I'm too young to be a baby 21 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: boomer and on the front end of Generation X being 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: a vintage in nineteen sixty five. So I know where 23 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: my perceptions are. I know the era that I grew 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: up in, and I think, mostly if you sort of 25 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 1: pulled my listening audience, we kind of view the younger 26 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: people these days as a bunch of woke, in doctrinated, 27 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: gender confused leftists. Now your book suggests we should have 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: some optimism. What specifically, though, what generation is Generation Z? 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: What lay or what era are we talking about? 30 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: Isabelle great very important question. Most experts have agreed that 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 2: gen Z encompasses a group of about seventy million Americans 32 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: born between the years of nineteen ninety seven and twenty twelve. 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 2: So when you hear the term gen Z, you're looking 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: at a group of people starting at about twelve or 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 2: thirteen years old, up through high school, college, young adult years, 36 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: and the oldest of us, like myself, turning twenty seven 37 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 2: and getting married and coming well into adulthood at this 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 2: point in time. You're right, there is this perception that 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: this whole group of people is unilaterally lazy, entitled, woke 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 2: socialist cry babies who are desperately trying to bring leftism 41 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: into the fold. And American culture. But throughout the last 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 2: several years working on my own college campus as an 43 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: activist on thousands of other high school and college campuses 44 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: across the country, and certainly in the digital space as well, 45 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: I anecdotally, at the very least, knew that that wasn't 46 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 2: true and set out to try to prove that narrative 47 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: wrong through my new book. What if I were to 48 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 2: tell you that Generation Z actually is proving ourselves to 49 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: be the most conservative generation America has seen since World 50 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 2: War II on a cultural and lifestyle basis. 51 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: Well, that would suggest that you are paying attention, You're 52 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: being observant. You have studied history, and you've seen the 53 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: mistakes of the past and what it's left us with 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: here with Yes, the dependent, woke, entitled group of people 55 00:02:52,880 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: that exist that seem to dominate the narrative on social media. 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: Exactly correct, And it's following the same pattern we've seen 57 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: throughout really all of human history. Every young group of 58 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: people wants to do essentially the same thing, and that 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: is rebel against the people who came before them. I 60 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: think it's funny that we think about punk rock and 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 2: countercultural in America within the context of covering your body 62 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 2: in tattoos or getting a whole lot of piercings. But today, 63 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 2: to be punk rock or rebellious or radically countercultural means 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: to embrace timeless, traditional conservative values. And that's exactly what 65 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: Gen Z is doing. In fact, ninety three percent of 66 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: our generation still wants to get married in a time 67 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: that we have the lowest marriage rate in American history. 68 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: We're realizing we don't have to spend two hundred and 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: fifty thousand dollars on a degree in underwater LGBTQ basket 70 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 2: weaving in order to get a job after college, and 71 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: instead we're choosing more meaningful degree programs. Sixty two percent 72 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: of us have already started our own businesses. We're putting 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: our birth control, we're deleting our dating apps, we're moving 74 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: out of big cities. You're watching this big, giant pendulum 75 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: swing happen culturally, and as we know from the late 76 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: great Andrew Breitbart, you can never change politics unless you 77 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: first change culture because politics is downstream from culture. So politically, 78 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 2: you're watching that pendulum start to shift as well. And 79 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: the younger cohort of Generation Z is overwhelmingly, at least 80 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: with young men becoming wildly politically conservative too. 81 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: I am so pleased to hear that because that flies 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: in the face of the narrative, the constant stream, the 83 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: narrative you get. And I think it's because the mainstream 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: media is dominated by leftists, and we also have you know, 85 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: you're a very obviously an important social media influencer, but 86 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: some of these social media influencers is where well a 87 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: lot of people get their information. You know, it's like 88 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: one size fits all. If you aren't thinking the way 89 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, then you must be ostracized, you must be docked, 90 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: you must be criticized and maligned. And I get the 91 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: impression people just crawl in their hole and don't speak out. 92 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: No one wants to speak out for fear of getting abuse, 93 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: presumably online. 94 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: That's such an interesting observation. And actually, I see so 95 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: much hope and I have so much gratitude for social 96 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: media because it really has become the one tool that 97 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: Generation Z has two break free of the narrative. 98 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 3: You know. 99 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 2: Just the other day on my live stream, we were 100 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: reading through the forty five goals of the American Communist 101 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: Party from sixty years ago. I had never read these goals, 102 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 2: but these were read into the congressional record in nineteen 103 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 2: sixty three, and essentially, the Communist Party's main goal to 104 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: take over America was to take over our institution, the 105 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: entertainment industry, journalism, academia, and certainly politics. That's exactly what's 106 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: happened now by twenty twenty four, the least controls the 107 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 2: narrative in every single pillar of American culture and politics alike. 108 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: But for the first time ever in human history, you 109 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: with a little device that you carry around in your 110 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: pocket as a nobody has the opportunity to have substantially 111 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: more influence and impact than say the president of the 112 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: United States or entire media companies. 113 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: Well, how do you get the message out in the 114 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: face of efforts by the larger platforms to suppress your message, 115 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: which again flies in the face of this liberal leftist narrative. 116 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 2: Fantastic and important question, and certainly is something our country 117 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 2: needs to be taking a closer look at to protect 118 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 2: freedom of speech in the digital age. But really, I 119 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: like this conversation because I think so many people are 120 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: wildly frustrated with what's been happening with censorship efforts in 121 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: social media. But you can be quite clever in telling 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: somebody the exact same thing in a bit more of 123 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: a creative way, sometimes avoiding certain words or phrases which 124 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: we should never. 125 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 4: Have to do. 126 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: And that's an important steps forward as a country. But 127 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: there is sort of this undertowing message in the conservative 128 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: movement that one hundred percent of the time conservatives have 129 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: the depth backed against them on social media. The truth is, 130 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: I think we use that often as an excuse to 131 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: say that we don't have as much reach as the 132 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: left on social media, when really we're not showing up 133 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: to the table to even have that cultural conversation to 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: begin with. 135 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: We need more people like you. They think that way, 136 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: they agree with your opinion, Yet if they're silent, they're 137 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: not helping spread the message in the news that no, 138 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: you are not alone. You know, I have these things 139 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,559 Speaker 1: called listener lunches every month, and you know, I feel 140 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: quite often with my little old libertarian perspective of life. 141 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: You know, I just want to live my life, make 142 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: my own decisions, make my own choices in a free society. 143 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: That to me is the beautiful thing about America. But 144 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: you know, I quite often feel like I'm the only 145 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: one out here. I'm the only ones I'm speaking to 146 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: myself and I get this reassurance that listener lunches and 147 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: when I'm out in the world. No, no, Brian, you're 148 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: the one speaking the truth. Thank god, your message is there. 149 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Thank God you were speaking the narrative that flies in 150 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: the face of this garbage that gives heap down upon us. 151 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: So you know that's is that one of the reasons 152 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: you wrote the book is to encourage younger people to 153 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: get out there and talk about it. 154 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's the primary reason I did. You know. I 155 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 2: always like to say, especially when I speak on high 156 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 2: school and college campuses, that courage is contagious, and more 157 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: often than not, what happens with writing back against culture 158 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: is one person being willing to be courageous in the 159 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 2: face of all of this insane indoctrination. And that often 160 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: doesn't look like starting a revolution, but instead posting a 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: fifteen second video on TikTok or raising your hand in 162 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: your college class. As soon as you're willing to do that, 163 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 2: other people always will be as well. So in the book, 164 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: I give activism tips to young people on how we 165 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 2: can do that, be it becoming a content creator, yourself, 166 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: raising your hand in your college class to tell your 167 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: professor that they were wrong. Profice yourself, and you're starting 168 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: to see college students and young adults to like really 169 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: embrace opportunities to do that every day. 170 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: Scratch Liberty's ears for me right now. I heard your 171 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: corky bark in the background. My notes revealed that you 172 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: too are a dog lover. I'm a huge, huge dogman fan. 173 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: So you just said something that I find absolutely amazing. 174 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: And of course I think you probably addressed this in 175 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: frontlines Finding my voice on an American college campus. I 176 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: loved college all right, Like I said Vintage sixty five 177 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: from my college ages, what was fall of eighty three 178 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: to eighty seven? And then went to law school for 179 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: a few years. You could debate, You could have an 180 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: alternative viewpoint. One of the great things about it was 181 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: the exchange of ideas. A college professor would say one thing, 182 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: you raised your hands said, but what about this? How 183 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: about this? The Socratic method was in play. I get 184 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: the impression that college campuses nothing but sit down, shut up. 185 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: Here is the way it is. I am telling you 186 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: the truth, and if you say anything to the contrary, 187 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: not only will I fail you in the exam, We're 188 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: going to ostracize you from campus. Are you telling me 189 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: that debate is still alive and well on the college campus. 190 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: It sure is, And that's such a beacon of hope 191 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: to hear for so many people because the truth is, 192 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: for most young Americans today, we aren't being told that 193 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: should be a virtue in our curriculum, especially in higher education, 194 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: and badly, students are having to do the job of 195 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: university administrations and professors alike by reliving what you guys 196 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: experienced on your college campuses, with debate, with meaningful dialogue, 197 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: with exchange of ideas. And you're watching student organizations like 198 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: Turning Point USA or Students for Life on the pro 199 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: life side of things bring speakers to campus, hold seminars, 200 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 2: to debate style events on campus every single day across 201 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: the country. And most importantly, there's a hunger for that 202 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: within our generation. There's a demand for it. 203 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 5: You're right. 204 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 2: I do cover that quite substantially in my first book 205 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: that I self published about my college experience. But in 206 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: our experience at Colorado State University, for example, when we 207 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: brought speakers like Charlie Kirk and Dennis Prager and Candas 208 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: Owens to campus, we regularly were turning out audience says 209 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: of a thousand plus people, mostly students, who were desperate 210 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 2: to hear a different idea than what was constantly told 211 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 2: to them in this unilateral opinion. 212 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 6: In their flatroom. 213 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: Isabelle Brown, maybe you have answered the question on why 214 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: these leftist college campus leaders and administrators are so desperate 215 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: to shut down that message because they know it's resonating 216 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: among gen Z and they don't want them to hear 217 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: it and don't want to have a vehicle to allow 218 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: them to hear it because it does fly in the 219 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: face of what they're trying to shove down your collective throats. 220 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 2: Exactly correct. But we are a truth seeking generation, if 221 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: nothing else. 222 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 3: And whether that be through social media activism on our campuses, 223 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 3: I reason just having great conversations about culture and politics 224 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: over coffee with a friend. I'm watching that search for meaning, 225 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,479 Speaker 3: purpose and truth itself happened every single. 226 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: Day within gen Z. 227 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: Well you have made me feel a lot better today, 228 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: Isabelle Brown, author of the End of the Alphabet, How 229 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: gen Z Can Save America.

I can 234 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,119 Speaker 1: only hope your message spreads and grows and that ultimately 235 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: it trumps the leftist narrative which is sending it sending 236 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: us down a terrible, terrible path. 237 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for having me, and excited to 238 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: continue giving hope to more people for the. 239 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 6: Future of our country. 240 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: Jared Nod who has had numerous articles published in the 241 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: MENSA bullet and Fellow Mensine and graduate school textbooks as 242 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: well subjects rating from the Supreme Court Reform to Arctic Exploration, 243 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: Decorated Combat Infustry officer in Vietnam, and the first Cavalry Division. 244 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: As we approach Veteran, say God, bless you and thank 245 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: you for your service to our country. He also served 246 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: as vice president of sales and marketing in his civilian 247 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 1: career marketing director in the home improvement industry. He is 248 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: a father of five. Welcome to the program, Jared, it's 249 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: great having you on today. 250 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 7: Thank you very much. It's an honor to be here. 251 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 1: Joke about my MENSA membership and I usually use it 252 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: in the context of when I don't know, Jack squat 253 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 1: about something and I say, see, there's the value of 254 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: being a MENSA member. Doesn't mean really anything about being 255 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: critical of it. But you do have to be a 256 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: member to write an article in the MENSA bulletin. Is 257 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 1: that Is that like a prerequisite? 258 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 7: Yeah, they prefer the people to be members. It's not 259 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 7: an absolute rule, but they prefer people who are members. 260 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 7: I like to point out to people that MENSA began 261 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 7: in England many years ago, and in England it's the 262 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 7: upper one percent. The one it was that moved over 263 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 7: to the United States, either accidentally or on purpose, it 264 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 7: was changed to the upper two percent. So American MENSA 265 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 7: has a lot of riff raff in it. Yeah, and 266 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 7: that's how I got in. 267 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: Well, okay, I'm gonna throw myself in the same lot, Jared. 268 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: I don't know where I fell on that percentage. I 269 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: just knew that I qualified. So anyway, moving over the book, 270 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: Tiny Blunder's Big Disasters. You know, as I was reading 271 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: the materials on this, and I hadn't saw the Amazon 272 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: page for it, I immediately thought of the butterfly effect, 273 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 1: which most people know you know, butterfly flaps his wings 274 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: in India, which causes a breeze, which has a chain 275 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: reaction that ends up causing some natural disaster thousands of 276 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: miles away. That's kind of what this book is about. 277 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 7: Exactly, Ryan Tech. I almost named that as the subtitle 278 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 7: for the book, but a lot of people don't know 279 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 7: what the butterfly effect is, so I therefore I did 280 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 7: not use it. But as Professor Lorenz was a mathematician, 281 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 7: very famous in his field politician in I mean the 282 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 7: mathematicians back in the nineteen fifties and sixties, and he's 283 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 7: the one that coined the fray that they started real quickly. 284 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 7: He had this way back then, he had this long number. 285 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 7: It was a number with the decimal and then eighteen 286 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 7: numbers behind it, getting infinitesimally small, and it was taking 287 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 7: so long for the computers of the day to run 288 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 7: that number. So lets somebody's go ahead and whack off 289 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 7: of sixteen six of those numbers that could make it 290 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 7: a point twelve set of point eighteen. It's so small 291 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 7: it won't make a difference when they ran the program, 292 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 7: and he was amazed what a massive difference it made 293 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 7: in the final outcome. It's somewhat analogous to saying you're 294 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 7: leaving the San Francisco and heading to London and your 295 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 7: compass is off like half a degree or a degree 296 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 7: or something like that. Instead of in the up in London, 297 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 7: you ended up in Madrid or something like that. That's 298 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 7: sort of situation in there. But anyway, and so that 299 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 7: he coined the phrase a butterfly I just said, flapping 300 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 7: its wings in Brazil and set off a chain reaction 301 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 7: that ends up being a cyclone in Texas a year 302 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 7: and a half later. 303 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: Every little bit counts reminds me of a discussion I 304 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: had with my constitutional law professor a flee urinating in 305 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: the Pacific. He looks at it, says, every little bit counts. 306 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: It was in the context of the commerce clause. We 307 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: don't have to go down that road. Let's I tell 308 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: you what I usually kind of end with this question 309 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: on books like this, but what's your favorite one? Because 310 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: I have a number of illustrations in the notes of 311 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: what you know, all the different weird things that have happened. 312 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: But of all the thirty nine ones you talk about 313 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: in this book, which one stands out to you is 314 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: like the most bizarre or your favorite story that's incorporated 315 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: in there. 316 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 7: Yes, and let me give you the nutshell versions of 317 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 7: that has to do. If I had not been for 318 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 7: this mistake made by Woodrow Wilson back in nineteen nineteen 319 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 7: at the Versaia Treaty, is a serious chance that China 320 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 7: could be a democracy today. And I mean, I give 321 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 7: you just a brief version of it. Of course, that's 322 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 7: World War One. All the winners, people on the winter 323 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 7: side were dividing up the spoils. The Chinese had given 324 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 7: one hundred thousand workers to go to France to help 325 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 7: dig the trenches. A Japanese had defeated the Germans on 326 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 7: the Pacific, and there's something called the German Concessions, a 327 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 7: part of China that had been controlled by Germany. Well, 328 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 7: if Japan wanted two things, they wanted to control of 329 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 7: the German Concessions, and they also wanted a statement of 330 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 7: racial equality to all people of the world. All ethnic 331 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 7: groups will be treated equally under all the laws of 332 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 7: the different nations of the world, which shounds today like 333 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 7: a very simple thing, but for a very sensitive thing 334 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 7: back then. Down in Australia, even today, thinking themselves as 335 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 7: a white island floating in an Asian sea. They did 336 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 7: not want a lot of Asian workers coming in and 337 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 7: lowering the wages. They were opposed to such a statement. 338 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 7: Also in the Western United States, same thing. A lot 339 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 7: of the senators there did not want Asians coming in 340 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 7: lowering the wages of workers. So both of those two 341 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 7: groups were opposed to the statement of racial equality. The 342 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 7: senators Wilson needed batter it to get u a United 343 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 7: Nations bill passed through the Senate, which it failed anyway. 344 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 7: So anyway, he caved in to their pressure and told 345 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 7: the Japanese you cannot have a statement of racial equality, 346 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 7: but as a sop to make up for that, we'll 347 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,239 Speaker 7: let you keep the German concessions on mainland China. Well, 348 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 7: that was a point blank violation of Wilson's fourteen points 349 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 7: that a local determination that people would not have colonies 350 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 7: posed on top of them, they could choose their own 351 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 7: governments freely, of their own will. It was a betrayal 352 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 7: of what he had promised the world. Now that dates 353 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 7: are important, it was announced on May third that the 354 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 7: Japanese is going to be allowed to take over the 355 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 7: German concessions. Of course, the Chinese one of their land back. 356 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 7: So on May Fourth demonstrations all across China. That was 357 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 7: the beginning of the May fourth Movement, which later became 358 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 7: the Communist It became the Communist movement. Mals tongue took 359 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 7: it over. Here was the kind of the summary of 360 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 7: the whole thing. A Chinese nationalists had said, we had 361 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 7: believed in Woodrow Wilson and the Western democracies, and then 362 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 7: we decided that they were all great liars. So they 363 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 7: rejected Widow Wilson. They rejected to the Western democracies. Coming 364 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 7: out of Russia at that same time was a new philosophy, 365 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 7: call it communism. The May fourth move became the Communist movement. 366 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 7: Malace Tongue, like I say, took it over, and in 367 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 7: nineteen forty eight he took over all of China. If 368 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 7: Woodow Wilson had not betrayed the Chinese and kept fidels 369 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 7: to us fourteen points, very serious chance that China would 370 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 7: be at democracy today. Imagine how different the world would be. 371 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: That is truly amazing, and that is obviously my reaction illustrates. 372 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: That's something I'd never heard of before. You can read 373 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: about it in Big Disasters thirty nine Tiny Mistakes that 374 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: Changed the World Forever by my guest today, Jared Jared Knox. Hey, Jared, not, 375 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: I have to ask you about this when I'm intrigued 376 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: by this. A soldier accidentally kicks a helmet off the 377 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: top of the wall and causes an empire to collapse. 378 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: At what all? 379 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, it doesn't seem to make much sense. How is 380 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 7: that possible? It's very interesting. I gave you a nutshell version. 381 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 7: They're also a big war was developing an ancient world 382 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 7: between Cyrus the Great, who was the founder of the 383 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 7: Persian Empire, and also Creases from the expression riches Creases, 384 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 7: who is the leader of the Lydia, either moving more 385 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 7: and more towards war, and then the war began. By 386 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 7: the way, Creases, he wanted to win this big confrontation 387 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 7: against Cyrus the Great, so he sent representatives to the 388 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 7: Oracle of Delphi, and they went and he splashed a 389 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 7: bunch of gold around around to all the people and 390 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 7: in the Delphi area, and that's how he got his 391 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 7: reputation for being so rich. When he wanted to know 392 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 7: who's going to win this big war, this big battle, 393 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 7: and the ora called Delphi said a great battle will 394 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 7: be fought and a great victory will be won. But 395 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 7: he and he took that to me. 396 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 8: He was going to win after. 397 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 7: All this gold had given him. But no, it didn't 398 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 7: quite turn out that way. So anyway, he fighted in 399 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 7: a great, big battle. It's basically a draw. Then Cyrus 400 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 7: puts his men on ships and sails away. Okay, Then 401 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 7: the Persians that were helping Cyrus. Uh, I'm sorry, said Creases. 402 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 7: They leave, but they didn't call him Cyrus the Great 403 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 7: for nothing. After about a week or so, he sails 404 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 7: back and then again engaged in a major battle. 405 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 6: Uh. 406 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 7: And then Creases basically loses the battle and pulls his 407 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 7: troops up into the giant fortress up there on Mount Cyrus. 408 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 7: So winter is coming. It's not clear that Cyrus the 409 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 7: Great has enough supplies to support his troops through the winter, 410 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 7: and may have gotten himself into a real box. Uh 411 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 7: So anyway, but here they are laying siege to the fortress, 412 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 7: and here comes the tiny mistake accidentally kicks his helmet 413 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 7: off the top of the wall. It comes tumbling all 414 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 7: the way down off the mountain side off this giant 415 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 7: fortress and lands at the bottom the soldier gets off 416 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 7: the top of the wall, walks down a secret passageway 417 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 7: down the side of the wall, gets his helmet and 418 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 7: walks all the way back up, climbs all the way 419 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 7: back up, and Sara's the great Man's seas the super 420 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 7: passageways up the side all So the next night they 421 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 7: send a rating party up that SuPAR passageway, goes over 422 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 7: the top of the wall, goes over there to the gates, 423 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 7: forces the gates open. Cyrus the greats Men are there, 424 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 7: come flooding into the city and they defeat Creasus. Now 425 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 7: it hadn't been for that tiny mistake. Instead of and 426 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 7: call Cyrus the Great, Cyrus the chump. 427 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: So that's hilarious. You know, he was the centurion there, 428 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: probably was ordered by his superior in the army to 429 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: run down and get his damn helmet, get out and 430 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: get that work. 431 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, where's your damn helmet? 432 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: Right right, I'm gonna get it. 433 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 7: I'll get it. 434 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 6: Target, don't worry. 435 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: Go They're gonna put me in the brig up on 436 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,880 Speaker 1: in my helmet on and I'll be right back. Awesome. 437 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: Some great stories along with his lines. Now I I 438 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: always say this, I qualify this by saying I mean 439 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: this as a compliment, absolute compliment. Is this one of 440 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: the books that would lend itself to being a bathroom book? 441 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: In other words, stories that are short enough to read 442 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: in a you know, smaller amount of time. 443 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 7: Yes, it's not through the novel. Get read all the 444 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 7: way through the Yeah, find what happen. So this was 445 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 7: really a basic series of short stories.

You know, I and many people say 484 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: I'd never want to go back and have to relive childhood, 485 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: because you know, it's difficult growing up. I got bullying 486 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: and all that. But I would go back in a 487 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: heartbeat if I could take with me what I know 488 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: and have learned in my fifty seven years of existence 489 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: on this planet, because life would be so damn easy. 490 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: That's what you wanted to do for your son when 491 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: you wrote him him a very comprehensive letter about life experiences. 492 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: Let my listeners know what prompted you to do that, 493 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: and then what happened afterwards was led to the book 494 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: The Unopen Present. 495 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 6: Well, thank you. And this letter was written over twenty 496 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 6: years ago, and I was an older, first time father, 497 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 6: and one day, all of a sudden, I was thinking, 498 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 6: what happens if I don't live long enough to teach 499 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 6: my son the important lessons I want him to know 500 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 6: in life? And so I wrote the letter, and I 501 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 6: outlined forty three lessons that I thought were critical for 502 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 6: any young person to learn. A friend of mine asked 503 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 6: me why forty three, and I said, well, that's all 504 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 6: I thought of at the time, and I set the 505 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 6: letter aside because he. 506 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 7: Was an infant. 507 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 6: He was six months old at the time, and unfortunately, 508 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 6: three months later he passed away, and I included the 509 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 6: letter as an appendix and a grief book I wrote 510 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 6: about him. But the letter sat for many, many years 511 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 6: until a spark last year. 512 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: Well, and obviously condolences on the loss of I can't 513 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: understand or can't comprehend, and I don't think anybody can 514 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: who has been hasn't been through it, the loss of 515 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: a child. I understand from psychologist it's one of the 516 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: worst things that can happen to anybody emotionally. But what 517 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: were you contemplating your own mortality when you wrote this book. 518 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 1: I have never been really that forward thinking to be 519 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: thinking about, Gee, what the hell are my children going 520 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: to do if I'm not around. They're both adults now. 521 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: I got a twenty seven and a twenty nine year old. 522 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: They seem to be doing fine. But what was it 523 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: about that moment in time when you wrote the book? 524 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 6: There wrote the letter, Well, that's exactly correct, and I 525 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 6: was blessed being an older parent because I was thinking 526 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 6: about that thing younger parents are so busy focused on 527 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 6: making a living and raising their kids day by day, 528 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 6: yes by week. Very often it's easy. And when I 529 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 6: was younger, before I was a parent, I didn't think 530 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 6: as long term as I thought later and think now either, 531 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 6: And so that's why I think it's important to share 532 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 6: this and expand upon it at which we did last 533 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,119 Speaker 6: year as we wrote this, and the reason that generated 534 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 6: it's a very unique story as well, because I was 535 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 6: told by a friend that this is something you ought 536 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 6: to expand upon and put into a book because it's universal, 537 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 6: it can help everyone. 538 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: Fair Enough, I consider myself extremely grounded. I know what 539 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 1: my personal philosophy is politically, I know what I believe in. 540 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: I'm firm on it. That allows me to get through 541 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: life and engage in sometimes uncomfortable conversations because I'm so 542 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: confident in my position. What experience has formed your philosophy 543 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 1: of life, which I believe is well presented here in 544 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: the unopen present. 545 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 6: Well, that's a great question. When I wrote it, I 546 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 6: thought I was pretty much a traditional, what I would 547 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 6: call middle of a road American. Today, with some of 548 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 6: the things going on, it may appear much more conservative 549 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 6: than that, but the first lesson that I wrote about 550 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 6: was God exists, have faith, pray and listen, because to me, 551 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 6: that was the bedrock, was having a faith in something 552 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 6: beyond us, and that's the most important grounding and foundation 553 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 6: for anyone's life in my opinion, and. 554 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: You know, I agree with that philosophy. My perception of 555 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: a prayer, my view of prayer and I do engage 556 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: in prayer, is if you believe, I think, as anybody 557 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,600 Speaker 1: who believes in a higher power does, that higher power 558 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: knows what you're thinking, knows a lie from the truth. 559 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: You can't lie to an all seeing, all knowing higher power, 560 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: which forces you during prayer to be introspective. If you're praying, 561 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: I really need something in my life, or you know, 562 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm struggling with this particular problem. I mean, if you have, like, 563 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: for example, a drug problem and that's leading, you can't say, well, 564 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: God dealt me a bad hand. No, you have to 565 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: look at yourself and be honest with yourself and say, 566 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: I know the genesis of it. It's me, and I 567 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: need to do something about it to fix it. Introspection. 568 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 6: That is exactly correct, and everyone in life gets dealt 569 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 6: bad experiences. If you will no one is exempt. The 570 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 6: only question is when and how and how we respond 571 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 6: to it. 572 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: Well, what other messages are in the unopen present? And 573 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: who is this? Who did you write the book for? 574 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: I suppose it's really written for everyone. 575 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 6: Well, it's written for everyone. I've been overwhelmed with people 576 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 6: that have given copies for gifts, for baby showers, for weddings, 577 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 6: for graduation, for young people who are young adults, if 578 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,719 Speaker 6: you will, for young parents, because the life lessons are 579 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 6: based on Western civilization values. The second one I put 580 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 6: in there was love your mother. You will be the 581 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 6: man of the house. She unconditionally loves you and deserves 582 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 6: your love, respect, and attention. And every day when I 583 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 6: would leave with my son and later my daughter, I 584 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 6: would say, take care of your mother. Take care of 585 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 6: your mother, even when they were too young to understand it, 586 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 6: because I wanted to instill the importance of family above 587 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 6: everything else into them at the earliest possible stage. 588 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: What a beautiful thought that is, and consistent with you know, 589 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: I guess I could go directly the Ten Commandments. I 590 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: believe there's a commandment of thereabout loving and honoring one's 591 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: father and mother. It's important stuff that How is the 592 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: book presented, how do you communicate your message? Because I 593 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: know you are a public speaker on again leadership, motivation, 594 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: faith and volunteers and doing this for decades. How's the 595 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: book laid out in terms of its message presentation and 596 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: how you communicate that message so readers can clearly understand it? Richard, 597 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: that is a great question. 598 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 6: And I write as I speak, very conversationally, very down 599 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 6: to earth, so that anyone can pick it up and 600 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 6: read it. And what I did was I took the 601 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 6: lessons and after the friends suggestion to write the book, 602 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 6: which was a very humbling moment that created that genesis, 603 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 6: I took each lesson and I added context, examples, historical examples, 604 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 6: quotes one scripture to add inspiration. So each one is 605 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 6: a very easy to read five to six hundred words 606 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 6: like a newspaper opinion piece, if you will. Each one's 607 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 6: very easy to read and digest, and they can be 608 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 6: read in any sequence at any time and referred to. 609 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 6: And it's just a very easy thing to pick up 610 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 6: and look at and be able to reference something you 611 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,959 Speaker 6: may be thinking about with your children or we've had 612 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 6: a lot of grandparents buy copies and give to their 613 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 6: children to help raise their grandchildren. 614 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's wonderful. Well, and when I say this, I 615 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: mean it with the highest level of praise and respect. 616 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: It sounds like what it could be a good bathroom book, 617 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, concise, easy to read and understand points that 618 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have to sit down and go through like 619 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: for example reading You know my favorite author, I always say, Dostoyevsky. 620 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,719 Speaker 1: It's going to take you a while to get through 621 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: one of his novels and you can't just pick it 622 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 1: up and glean something and put it back down again. 623 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: Is it that type of book? It sounds like it. 624 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 6: Absolutely. There's forty three lessons, plus the story of writing 625 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 6: the book, and each one, like I say, can be 626 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 6: read in two or three minutes. You can read one 627 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 6: a day, you can read whenever you like. It's just 628 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 6: a couple of minutes per each one of the lessons. 629 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: My guest today, author of the book we're speaking of, 630 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: is it's The Unopen Present by Richard Battle again award 631 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: winning author of multiple books. Do you speak to and 632 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: we are in interesting times? And I think that's a 633 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: gross understanding. You probably agree with that. Here in the country, 634 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,719 Speaker 1: lots of political divisions lots of divisions, generally speaking your 635 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: life in your book The Unopen Present, do you speak 636 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 1: about country and its relationship to us and we are 637 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,719 Speaker 1: how we view our country? 638 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 6: Well, one of the things that closed the letter with. 639 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 6: Originally and again I wrote this letter in nineteen ninety seven, 640 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 6: and to him, I said, God blessed textas God bless 641 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 6: the USA. We are blessed to be able to live 642 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 6: in the greatest area in the world. This country doesn't 643 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 6: owe you anything. Do you want something, be prepared to 644 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 6: earn it. 645 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: Man, what a great message, especially in these times when 646 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: people just want to turn to government for the answers 647 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: to all of their life problems. And that is not 648 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: where the answers lie. Now, since it's forty three specific points, 649 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: let my listeners know one of the more obscure lessons. 650 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean, we can all agree higher power and prayer 651 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: and you know, respecting father and mother and the point 652 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 1: you made about country. What is one of the more 653 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: obscure points that you found was necessary to write down 654 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: in this letter. 655 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 6: Initially, Well, I wrote one just because someone has something 656 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 6: you don't doesn't mean they're rich. And many years ago 657 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 6: I had as a side business. If you will investment 658 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 6: real estate property. And I had a lady who wanted 659 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 6: a screen door put on her duplex so she could 660 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 6: look out and watch her grandson play in the driveway, 661 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 6: and so I put one on. I was very proud 662 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 6: of it. I was a straight commissioned sales guy, scrapping 663 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 6: every dollar for this invest property. And I went back 664 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 6: two weeks later to collect the rent and lo and behold, 665 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 6: the screen door was torn off. And not only did 666 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 6: she not care about me, All she wanted was a 667 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 6: door replaced, and she perceived me to be in a 668 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,399 Speaker 6: rich guy because I was a guy that collected the rent. 669 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 6: And even though I tried to explain to her I 670 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 6: was scraping along nickel by nickel, she didn't care. Her 671 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 6: perception was I was rich. And it just illustrated to 672 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 6: me how often we have perceptions about people based on 673 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 6: what we see, and we always need to be careful 674 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 6: about that. 675 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: Well. And you know, and you wrote this letter at 676 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 1: a time when there wasn't social media, and how much 677 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: worse have we come in terms of our perception versus 678 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: the reality. When you look at somebody's Facebook life and 679 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: you're like, oh my god, how idyllic is that? And 680 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: you know, if you know the people who are depicted 681 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 1: that way on Facebook or any other social media platform, 682 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: you might know them to be a miserable family who 683 00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: fights all the time. But Lord Almighty, look at how 684 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: wonderful they are, and then you start feeling bad because 685 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:02,919 Speaker 1: you don't have it as good. 686 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 6: Well, there's no doubt that social media has made us 687 00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 6: much shallower people. And my father used to describe it 688 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,120 Speaker 6: as people that were a mile wide and an inch deep, 689 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 6: and we were seeing had much more today than we 690 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 6: were in the past. 691 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: And my dad always referred to them as empty suits. Fortunately, 692 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: up until this past November, I had my father in 693 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,320 Speaker 1: my life. I'm blessed to have a great mother and 694 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: father who provided me with the greatest gift of life 695 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: beyond life, which is education. And I thank them regularly 696 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: for that gift. And this is a important component. You 697 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: can get educated with the unopened present. And it's a 698 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: positive message, Richard, and these times, thank you for writing 699 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,319 Speaker 1: a book with a positive message. We certainly need them 700 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: these days. And you recommend it again. I guess I 701 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: love the idea about grandparents passing along a copy to 702 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: new parents. This sounds like the ideal gift. 703 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 6: Well, it's a book that will help give people ideas 704 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,439 Speaker 6: on living a better life. And if you look back 705 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 6: all of the Wendell Holmes Supreme Court Justice said, man's mind, 706 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 6: once extended by a new idea, cannot return to its 707 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 6: previous state. And with any personal growth type item, all 708 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 6: it takes is one idea to be life changing, and 709 00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 6: we never know when that one idea can happen or 710 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 6: the source for it. And that's the greatest thrill for 711 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 6: me is when people look at my work and come 712 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 6: back and say that idea helped me change my life. 713 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,760 Speaker 1: That is amazing. Richard Battle, it has been a distinct 714 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 1: pleasure talking with you. I feel uplifted just based on 715 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: the conversation, and my listeners were certainly going to get 716 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: a copy of your book The Unopened Present, which my 717 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: producer has put a link to get on my page 718 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 1: at fifty five kre sea dot com. Make it real 719 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: easier for everybody. Just Shy of eight oh six here 720 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 1: at fifty five KRCD talk station.

Evince, 736 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: welcome to the program. It's a real pleasure to have 737 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: you on. And let me start by thanking you for 738 00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: your service to our country. 739 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you for having me. 740 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: Now, how did you go from from seventy fifth Ranger 741 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: Regiment to Border Patrol agent? How did you make that 742 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: connection or even I guess, desire to become a border 743 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,560 Speaker 1: patrol agent. 744 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a friend that told me about the 745 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,120 Speaker 4: borderful career field in depth, something I had no idea 746 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 4: about it, just in passing. I'd see them when I 747 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,520 Speaker 4: was going to Roseriedo, Mexico to hang out with friends 748 00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,360 Speaker 4: or whatever. But eventually, you know, it came down to 749 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 4: wanting to continue to serve my country, but on our 750 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 4: own soil. 751 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: Fair enough. Well, I think at least I can sum 752 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: up the border from my perspective because I only know 753 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: what I read in the papers and what I see. 754 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: It seems to be a bit of a catastrophe. Every day, 755 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: thousands of people coming across the border. Sometimes they interact 756 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: with border security folks who it seems have become processors 757 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: to get them into the country, you know, taking note 758 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 1: of who they are, biometrics or whatever they're doing. But 759 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: then there's also the hundreds of thousands of so called godaways. 760 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 1: Everybody's concerned about national security. Who are the people that 761 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,759 Speaker 1: have come in? Do they mean ill will toward us? 762 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 1: But your focus in the book, as I understand, is 763 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: more on the plight of these people rather than the 764 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: political battle that they have been used for in Washington, 765 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: d C. 766 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of two parts, and you have two 767 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 5: sides of an argument. 768 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 4: You have the left side of the argument the right 769 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 4: side of the argument, and everyone wants two different things. 770 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 4: You know, you're talking home madsecurity one issue, and then 771 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 4: you have immigration another issue. Both of those have to 772 00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 4: be to be answered in this conversation. And right now 773 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,800 Speaker 4: currently this subject is so divisive. If I wanted to 774 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 4: write a book to really explain the foundation of what 775 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 4: the border patrol career field does, which most people. 776 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 5: Don't really know, they assume they know. 777 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,279 Speaker 4: And then as well as once you understand what the 778 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 4: border patrol does, you'll have a better understanding of how 779 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 4: the process works. Currently, the process that we have in 780 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 4: place isn't a benefit to the United States, It's it's 781 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,800 Speaker 4: a benefit to the to an illegal immigrant who's coming across. 782 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 4: We've almost we've almost incentivized illegal immigration. And so how 783 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 4: do I explain a lot of this in the book 784 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 4: that there's got to be a balance, and right now 785 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 4: we're definitely out of balance. 786 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: Well, do you have a I mean, in your perception, 787 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,800 Speaker 1: a solution for it. I keep hearing we need to 788 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: change the immigration laws. The answer to the problem is 789 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: changing the immigration laws. Well, there are immigration laws on 790 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,040 Speaker 1: the books, and here I put myself. I want to 791 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 1: try and put myself in the position of a border 792 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: patrol agent. They know what the law is and they're 793 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: supposed to enforce the law as border patrol agents, and 794 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: yet they're getting conflicting information from the lords and masters 795 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,280 Speaker 1: who are sort of using their prosecutorial discretion to ignore 796 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 1: the laws and allow people to come in who aren't 797 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: lawfully allowed to come in under the current law. Have 798 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:24,399 Speaker 1: I got that wrong? 799 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 4: Then's yeah, it's partially wrong. The truth of the matter 800 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 4: goes that the border traders are still doing their job. 801 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 5: It's after they process them. What is the policy that's 802 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 5: put in place? 803 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 4: And currently people are getting released into the United States 804 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 4: with a notice to appear, which only three percent actually 805 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 4: returned to a peer. And so it's not a border 806 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,279 Speaker 4: patrol issue so much as it's higher up. It's the 807 00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 4: disconnect between the policy and what is enforced. Anyone entering 808 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 4: the country illegally is breaking a law still to this day, 809 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 4: and they still have to be processed. But after the 810 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 4: border patrol is done processing them is where the issue lies. 811 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 5: How are we holding them? Are we detaining them? 812 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 1: And so on and so forth fair enough. Well, while incentivizing, 813 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with your assessment. We have incentivized 814 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: them to come. No one is saying don't come. You're 815 00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,080 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to come in. If you cross 816 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: through a neutral country, you won't be allowed in some 817 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: of the rules that are in place. But the misery 818 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: by incentivizing them. People go on thousands of miles journey 819 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 1: from the four corners of the world to go up 820 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 1: through Mexico through all this harsh terrain and the drug 821 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 1: cartels and the smugglers, and they face so many challenges 822 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: and so much misery along the way. And then it 823 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily end there. As I understand it, So many 824 00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 1: of the younger people are being are victims of human traffickers, 825 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 1: and that the cartels continue to make money off of them. 826 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: I guess a concept of like indentured servitude for having 827 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 1: brought them to the border in the first place. 828 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's correct. 829 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 4: It's everything that happens down south is a mess. It's 830 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 4: a lot of manipulation happening. It puts a lot of 831 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,280 Speaker 4: them at risk, and it's two parts. One the manipulation 832 00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 4: by traffic organizations, but the other part is us and 833 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 4: how it's easy to circumvent our current system. 834 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: Tell me about this elite search and rescue unit called 835 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: Borstar which you volunteer to participate in. 836 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 837 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 4: So, Borchstar and Bortech are the two special operations unit 838 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 4: in the Border Patrol. They're not spoken of publicly too often, 839 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 4: but they they served a great deal down on our 840 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 4: borders and doing the mission. Borchstar specifically provides search, medical, 841 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 4: and trauma services all across the border for not just 842 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 4: illegal immigrants, but for Americans anyone in the borders, from 843 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 4: car accidents to search and rescue situations to any kind 844 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,800 Speaker 4: of medical intervention that needs to happen in those borders. 845 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 4: We rescue more lives than most agencies out there will 846 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 4: ever even see. I've done swift water rescues for truckers 847 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 4: who are swept off by by massive water massive you know, 848 00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 4: high high water issues. 849 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 5: And so this is a career feel that no one 850 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,520 Speaker 5: really knows all the fine details. 851 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,680 Speaker 1: Of well I understand. I mean, I don't want to 852 00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: draw draw parallels from your service in the Middle East 853 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,360 Speaker 1: to the border situation. I'd like to think the border 854 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,880 Speaker 1: isn't nearly as bad as combat, but you there have 855 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 1: been gun battles on the border. 856 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:19,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you know, I. 857 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 4: Think there's a misconception of how often that happens. Yeah, 858 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 4: there's definitely, there's definitely, you know, the cartel on the 859 00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 4: Mexican side, they're always fighting for control of their area, 860 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 4: But on our side, it doesn't cross over as often 861 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 4: as the media elect to portray or people want to 862 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 4: assume it does happen. There's always a chance when you're 863 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 4: doing law enforcement and you're doing such a dangerous job, 864 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 4: and especially dealing with drugs and smuggling, there's a chance 865 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 4: that there's someone going to be armed, but it's not 866 00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 4: as prevalent as the world likes to believe it is. 867 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 1: Well, that's comforting information. What's the morale like among the 868 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,800 Speaker 1: border patrol agents? I imagine my understanding is there's the 869 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 1: concerns about being under funded and understaffed. Obviously the dangers 870 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: associated with the job are how are they able to 871 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: maintain a decent morale and continue to do their job? 872 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 4: Then, yeah, that's that's a challenge, right when you have 873 00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,920 Speaker 4: a system that's that's in place right now that they 874 00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,400 Speaker 4: demonize the border patrol career field, like everyone in the 875 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 4: media is wanting to say to blame the border patrol. 876 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 5: They want to say the borderfoal is that fault the 877 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:20,920 Speaker 5: portfol does this. 878 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,200 Speaker 4: That's not easy to do a job day in and 879 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 4: day out, that's selfless, and to be demonized and. 880 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 5: To be politicized. 881 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 4: It makes it so hard to do this job and 882 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,399 Speaker 4: be proud of it because no one is supporting them. 883 00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,279 Speaker 4: And that's the big reason why writing this book, I 884 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,440 Speaker 4: want to really highlight how important this career field is 885 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 4: for America. 886 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 1: Well, I think among my listening I haven't ever heard 887 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: personally people demonize the border patrol agents. I kind of 888 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 1: feel like they've been stuck between a rock and a 889 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 1: hard place, given the well the confusing nature of our 890 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 1: immigration policy. It's I don't think anybody's laying the blame. 891 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: It's like laying the blame on the police department for crime. 892 00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't believe that the out of control border situation 893 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: is being bled on the border patrol agents. Perhaps some 894 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: on one political perspective or another blame the border prol 895 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:10,840 Speaker 1: agents for even doing their job and protecting the border. Absolutely, 896 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 1: you're right, So if you could have your way. Vince 897 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: vince Vargas, author A Borderline defending the home front. If 898 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: you could lay hands on what the obvious multitude of 899 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: problems are on it, how do we fix the situation? 900 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 1: What would your sort of thumbnail sketch of legislation or 901 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,359 Speaker 1: fixes include vents? 902 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:31,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, this is like a it's not a 903 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 5: one plus one equals two enter. This is like a 904 00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 5: recipe for a cake. Right, So there's a lot of 905 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 5: layers here. 906 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 9: You know. 907 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 5: One first thing is not incentivize it. 908 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 2: Right. 909 00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 5: We have to make it a challenge to come across illegally. 910 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,640 Speaker 4: You break the law, you have to serve time, you know, 911 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 4: and so you start to create deterrence when people know 912 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 4: they'll go to jail for coming illegally. Now that's obviously 913 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 4: a different conversation for US seeking asylum. There has to 914 00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,760 Speaker 4: be a better process to really identify if they're seeking asylum, 915 00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 4: if they come from a country that can deem it 916 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 4: seeking asylum. But on top of that, you have to 917 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,719 Speaker 4: start addressing South America. We have to start addressing the 918 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 4: conversation of the manipulation that happens for trafficking organizations. We 919 00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:12,040 Speaker 4: have to teach and educate what's the right way of 920 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,560 Speaker 4: doing it, but also those who do it. The right way, 921 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 4: sometimes have to wait twelve years. So maybe we have 922 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 4: to create a streamline process for those who are genuinely 923 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 4: coming here to invest back into our country, who want 924 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 4: to see this country be successful, and so those individuals 925 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 4: should be given the opportunity to have a streamline process. 926 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 5: There's a lot of layers to this that we have 927 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 5: to address, but we could start there and I think 928 00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 5: we'll start seeing changes. 929 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: Well in something else that seems to me to have 930 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: deteriorated pretty substantially from the prior administration to this one 931 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 1: is our relationship with Mexico. I don't know if that's 932 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: because the drug cartels have completed and successfully taken over 933 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 1: Mexican government generally, and they're getting their way because they 934 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,879 Speaker 1: make so much money off of trafficking these immigrants through 935 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: the country. But Mexico was tended to be cooperating with 936 00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 1: Trump and keeping the flow within the country or otherwise 937 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,080 Speaker 1: removing the folks that are coming in through the southern 938 00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:07,680 Speaker 1: part of Mexico and keeping them in those other countries 939 00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 1: that seems to have just disappeared. It now seems like 940 00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,640 Speaker 1: Mexico's facilitating this. 941 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 4: You know, it's really tough down there with a lot 942 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 4: of the corruption that does happen, like you've hit it 943 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 4: the nail right in the head. It's like when someone 944 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,279 Speaker 4: takes over and wants to put their foot down, will 945 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,320 Speaker 4: they be assassinated? 946 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 5: And so we have to see what's going on down there. 947 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,680 Speaker 5: But we still have to manage our own borders, and 948 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,279 Speaker 5: currently our policies in place are not helping us. 949 00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,840 Speaker 1: Fascinating book, Vince Vargus, Let me thank you again for 950 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: your service to our country and your ongoing continued service 951 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,560 Speaker 1: Borderline Defending the Home Front by my guests today, Vincent Vargas.

That is in socialism and anti capitalism 1002 00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:30,160 Speaker 10: and anti anti American propaganda. 1003 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:31,839 Speaker 9: And uh. 1004 00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 10: He has his uh philosophy which he which basically comes 1005 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:44,120 Speaker 10: down to what he thinks should be a different society 1006 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:48,800 Speaker 10: with a different conceptual, conceptual look, with a different manner, 1007 00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:53,279 Speaker 10: with a different uh world view, with the different uh 1008 00:50:54,560 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 10: different social and social, political and economic uh reah it 1009 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 10: is which he actually if we want to summarize what 1010 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:06,839 Speaker 10: it is, because. 1011 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 11: It's so such a mumbo jumbo combination of Rwelian Awelian 1012 00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 11: ideas and language and the new Brave world of Aldo 1013 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:23,920 Speaker 11: Saxley and sources on neo Marxist ideas, let's call it 1014 00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:24,760 Speaker 11: all a stunt. 1015 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 10: I think that would be good. 1016 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,919 Speaker 1: He's in favor of a Dystopian or Weellian world where 1017 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,040 Speaker 1: the top controls everything, our thoughts, our impressions, what we 1018 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 1: can read, what we can't read, How we think that that? 1019 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 1: How is how in any rational? Maybe it's maybe maybe 1020 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,839 Speaker 1: he is completely irrational? How is in that in any 1021 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 1: way shape of reform stable and just. 1022 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,200 Speaker 10: Well stable and just according to his point of view. 1023 00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,400 Speaker 10: Look at look at what is happening now with our well, 1024 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 10: our previous justice system, our old justice system. He from 1025 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,399 Speaker 10: the beginning when he started his activities here, and that's 1026 00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,160 Speaker 10: when I realized what was going on, and I warned 1027 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:19,800 Speaker 10: against not challenging him. I suggested to challenge him was 1028 00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 10: changing the laws. And he didn't go to Congress to 1029 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:29,000 Speaker 10: change the laws. He chose the system where he wanted 1030 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 10: to change the laws from within the states, within the localities, 1031 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:40,160 Speaker 10: not through Congress. And unfortunately it was successful pretty much. 1032 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:45,360 Speaker 10: Look at the best example is the drug organization movement, 1033 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,760 Speaker 10: which he started and funded. There was a little movement before, 1034 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 10: but he took it up. He funded it with a 1035 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:59,240 Speaker 10: lot of money, created his own organization, and in nineteen 1036 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:04,279 Speaker 10: ninety six nineteen ninety five when drug legalizations at the 1037 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 10: time so called marijuana legalization started and now everybody in 1038 00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,640 Speaker 10: the United States can then can get doped as much 1039 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 10: as they want, right right, So he only duped the 1040 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:23,680 Speaker 10: system into approving something that he said where many drugs 1041 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:27,640 Speaker 10: are addictive but not marijuana. Well, he knew at the 1042 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 10: time that marijuana was addicted, and we certainly have since 1043 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:37,120 Speaker 10: then mountains of evidence to show how addictive marijuana is. 1044 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:42,960 Speaker 10: Yet each state is doing whatever they can in order 1045 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 10: to legalize it because of greed. They have so much money. 1046 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,880 Speaker 10: There is so much money in the business, legal and illegal. 1047 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 10: And this is crazy because marijuana causes not only psychosis, 1048 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 10: not only all kinds of mental problems, but also makes 1049 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 10: your bodies seek This is the worst enslavement of a 1050 00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,640 Speaker 10: human being, drug addiction, and he succeeded in it, and 1051 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 10: he succeeded in changing. At the time when he suggested it, 1052 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:18,560 Speaker 10: drug legalization was unthinkable, unacceptable, but he managed to actually 1053 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,320 Speaker 10: have enough for pa Ganda to get it done and 1054 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 10: there are now we see it more moving forward, we 1055 00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:30,080 Speaker 10: see it how he changed the legal system by getting 1056 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:35,919 Speaker 10: das elected, das that don't want to actually apply the law, 1057 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:43,000 Speaker 10: that are acting against the non criminals, against the vistims 1058 00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 10: actually and working with the criminals. So basically what he 1059 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:51,720 Speaker 10: has done and he hasn't been doing, is creating cows 1060 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:59,880 Speaker 10: in this country, a racial division, gender new genderism, working 1061 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 10: to promote abortion, and by the time they will be 1062 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:09,160 Speaker 10: if they are very successful with their transgenderism, is there's 1063 00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 10: no pushback and having abortion laws the federal government will 1064 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:22,480 Speaker 10: announce or as Biden is doing it, having executive order 1065 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:28,480 Speaker 10: that abortion is allowed. And in between these two, well, 1066 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 10: I guess they won't have to worry too much about 1067 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 10: abortions because castrated people don't produce too much abortion. 1068 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 1: That's true, that is true. My guest today, doctor Rachel Erinfeld. 1069 00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 1: We're talking about her book. This Soro's agenda. Well, on 1070 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 1: the marijuana legalization, it seems kind of it's an interesting ploy. 1071 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,360 Speaker 1: I guess many folks believe, you know, why would we 1072 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,399 Speaker 1: ever criminalize self abuse? And I happen to be among 1073 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,360 Speaker 1: those folks. For example, alcohol is I would say, equally, 1074 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,839 Speaker 1: if not a greater problem than marijuana, simply because it's 1075 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 1: more prevalent. Its millions of people, liver crhosis, breaks up families. 1076 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:04,839 Speaker 1: You know, we could go on and on. We had 1077 00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: a failed experiment when we tried to with through prohibition, 1078 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 1: so that didn't work with alcohol. 1079 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:14,439 Speaker 10: With alcohol takes longer to be a trick. 1080 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 1: But I gets okay, and we can make the medical 1081 00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: argument is a difference. My only point is that a 1082 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,600 Speaker 1: country that embraces freedom can be drawn to this argument that, well, 1083 00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,879 Speaker 1: we should just legalize marijuana. Why are we throwing people 1084 00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:28,840 Speaker 1: in jail that are, you know, buying and selling marijuana? 1085 00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:31,840 Speaker 1: That there's a certain freedom appeal to that, a freedom 1086 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 1: that he does not believe in yet is using to 1087 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,279 Speaker 1: advance his agenda. The underlying point, though it sounds like 1088 00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,880 Speaker 1: you're saying, is he knows it's terrible for us. Clearly, 1089 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 1: legalization is going to result in more people using marijuana, 1090 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: so it undermines the stability of the United States. That's 1091 00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:47,719 Speaker 1: his goal. 1092 00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:52,040 Speaker 10: But he knows, but he knows that this is terrible, 1093 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:57,439 Speaker 10: and so so all the medical associations that's approved. It's 1094 00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 10: not the laws that are bad and therefore you shouldn't 1095 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,160 Speaker 10: use them. It's not the laws. It's because the chemical 1096 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,680 Speaker 10: effect of the physiological effects of the drugs which you 1097 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 10: are taking on your body, right on your system. It 1098 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 10: sleaves you old branded slaves your own body. And now 1099 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 10: they are actually legalizing all drugs in Oregon, in Washington State, 1100 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 10: it's different places. This is crazy. So Heroin and Sentinel 1101 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,200 Speaker 10: and whatever you want you can take. So we have 1102 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,080 Speaker 10: more criminalists and we have more homeless people in the streets. 1103 00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 1: That's the point though, right, I mean, he knows about 1104 00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: everything you're saying, and he can make all these libertarian 1105 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,800 Speaker 1: freedom gestures in the name of not criminalizing people. But 1106 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: your point being, all this evidence suggests the reason he 1107 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,680 Speaker 1: is after this as an agenda item is because it 1108 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:52,920 Speaker 1: does destroy us. 1109 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:58,040 Speaker 10: Yes, but well that's his agenda. The question is why 1110 00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:04,120 Speaker 10: are we Why are why are governors of states people 1111 00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:10,920 Speaker 10: who are elected to the states, judges, public thinkers, Uh, 1112 00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,640 Speaker 10: the newspapers. Why why is the medical association? Why is 1113 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 10: this allowed? Well, I this was this seems to be 1114 00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 10: a free country. We should we should have opposed because 1115 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,080 Speaker 10: there was no pushback. You saw a lot of pro 1116 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 10: pro pro pro pro god majuana from marijuana legalization. You 1117 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:29,800 Speaker 10: didn't see anything. 1118 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:35,800 Speaker 1: Again, going to the research that you do, this multi 1119 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:39,120 Speaker 1: multidisciplinary approach that you take, and you look at disinformation, 1120 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,200 Speaker 1: and you look at indoctrination, you look at all these 1121 00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,880 Speaker 1: different elements and what the net effect is on our culture. 1122 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: And I understand that the problem that you and I 1123 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,480 Speaker 1: and others who have a better sense about things have 1124 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,840 Speaker 1: is getting the message out. The message is quite often there, 1125 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 1: and the anti marijuana legalization or the pro police message, 1126 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: or the freedom message is there. It's just quashed. It's 1127 00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: suppressed by all these forces that he seems to have 1128 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 1: his hands in Twitter and Facebook and social media. I mean, 1129 00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 1: if you can't find out Hunter Biden's laptop is real 1130 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,120 Speaker 1: when our own federal government knew about it for a 1131 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,600 Speaker 1: couple of years and the federal government takes steps to 1132 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 1: quash that information from getting out to American people. You've 1133 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 1: got a real uphill challenge here, and that's something he 1134 00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:24,600 Speaker 1: is also funding. Is it not? 1135 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 10: Well, Apparently he's behind the Democratic Party. For sure, He's 1136 00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 10: not the only one. But this is why I owed 1137 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 10: the book. I lowed the book The Souce Agenda land 1138 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,320 Speaker 10: out his agenda, the different planks he had, and also 1139 00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 10: the strategies that he has been using in order to 1140 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,320 Speaker 10: implement them. And people who want to stand up need 1141 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,560 Speaker 10: to know their enemy. 1142 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 1: So amen, you'll read the book. 1143 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,120 Speaker 10: We'll see, we'll see how this has been done, and 1144 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,480 Speaker 10: we'll be able to challenge it and count it. 1145 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,080 Speaker 1: There you go, Doctor Rachel aaronfel from behalf of all 1146 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: my listeners.

The book we're talking 1162 01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 1: about today he wrote, along with Tom Clavin, Throne of 1163 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 1: Grace a Mountain Man, an epic adventure in the bloody 1164 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 1: Conquest of the American West. Bob Jury, Welcome to the 1165 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,040 Speaker 1: fifty five cares in morning, So it's real pleasure to 1166 01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 1: have you on. I was going to ask you because 1167 01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 1: I've been I've been reading the counts of these Columbia 1168 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 1: law students, and they're asking and demanding that the school 1169 01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,160 Speaker 1: cancel final exams and give a passing grade to all 1170 01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: students because they have been irrevocably shaken after witnessing police 1171 01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,720 Speaker 1: arrest their fellow protesters. They can't handle the trauma of 1172 01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,840 Speaker 1: seeing someone arrested. Bob, do you think they could manage 1173 01:01:18,920 --> 01:01:21,040 Speaker 1: the life of Jedediah Smith. 1174 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 12: Brian, I don't think I could say, well, I'm an 1175 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,720 Speaker 12: old timer now, but in my ute, so to speak, 1176 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 12: I mean, I was in the edens of the earth Afghanistan, Iraq. 1177 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:36,200 Speaker 12: I took some shrapnel in Sarajevo, I got shot in Darfur. 1178 01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 12: I could not handle the life of Jededia Smith, those 1179 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,320 Speaker 12: mountain men. I mean, what they went through, and it 1180 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:49,600 Speaker 12: was normal. I mean, whether you're crossing a freezing river, 1181 01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 12: that is a frozen river that you fall through and 1182 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:58,320 Speaker 12: it freezes the legs off your pack mules. The next 1183 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 12: corner there might be an Indian attack deserts. You know, 1184 01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,120 Speaker 12: Smith was the first euro American to cross both the 1185 01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 12: Escalante and the Mojave Desert, first American to hit California 1186 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 12: from the east. So the short answer, I guess that 1187 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 12: was a long answer is no, hell no. 1188 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 1: But you know what, true folks like Jedediar Smith to 1189 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:23,360 Speaker 1: go out into completely uncharted, at least from the mindset 1190 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:27,280 Speaker 1: of an early American. I appreciate Native Americans were living 1191 01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,640 Speaker 1: there before we showed up and screaming at the radio 1192 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 1: folks out there. Okay, we all get that, but you're 1193 01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 1: Jededia Smith. You're on the east coast, and you're like, 1194 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 1: we got this land purchase that Thomas Jefferson engaged in, 1195 01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 1: and so you've got early nineteenth century, all this land 1196 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: yet to be explored by the American population, and you 1197 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 1: go into it not knowing what you're going to face. 1198 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: That takes either a tremendous amount of stones or an 1199 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,360 Speaker 1: unbelievable amount of ignorance, because you should have a lot 1200 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:57,360 Speaker 1: of fear when you're thinking about doing something like that. 1201 01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,040 Speaker 1: But yet there were guys like this that did it well. 1202 01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:05,160 Speaker 12: I think in Smith's case he was an anomaly. Most 1203 01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:10,040 Speaker 12: of these land pirates and reprobates and that became mountain men. 1204 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 12: I think they were in it for the money beaver trapping. 1205 01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,640 Speaker 12: At the time that beaver was the most expensive fur 1206 01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 12: in the world, and you could make a lot of 1207 01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,680 Speaker 12: money up in the mountains. But Smith, when he was 1208 01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 12: a kid, a doctor, a local doctor had given him 1209 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,320 Speaker 12: the journals of Lewis and Clark, and he was about 1210 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,640 Speaker 12: twelve or thirteen, and he decided he wanted to follow 1211 01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 12: in their footsteps. They were his idols. 1212 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 13: Now. 1213 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,800 Speaker 12: If he was going to make a little money along 1214 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 12: the way, fine, And so he made his way to 1215 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:38,280 Speaker 12: Saint Louis, which of course was in the westernmost part 1216 01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:42,160 Speaker 12: of the United States, Missouri, the westernmost state, and signed 1217 01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 12: up for one of the first fur trapping operations to 1218 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,520 Speaker 12: go up into the Rockies and beyond. And as I said, 1219 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,200 Speaker 12: there was an economic factor there. You could make a 1220 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,080 Speaker 12: lot of money, and he did. But I think in 1221 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:58,479 Speaker 12: Smith's case, he wanted He didn't want fame. He wasn't 1222 01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 12: a crocket or a boon. He wanted adventure and. 1223 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 6: He sure found it. 1224 01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 12: I mean twice he made it to the West coast, 1225 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,160 Speaker 12: whereas Lewis and Clark only did it once. He was 1226 01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 12: I was kind of gratified. We got a review yesterday 1227 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 12: in the Los Angeles Times that Jedediah Smith is our 1228 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:20,560 Speaker 12: most unheard of and perhaps most important nineteenth century explorer. 1229 01:04:21,120 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 12: And when Tom and I decided to kind of settle 1230 01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,280 Speaker 12: on him as our guide through this era. We consider 1231 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:30,760 Speaker 12: Throne of Grace a biography of the era as opposed 1232 01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:33,600 Speaker 12: to a biography of Jed Smith. But we needed a guide, 1233 01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,920 Speaker 12: someone to take us through it, and Smith Zelig like 1234 01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,680 Speaker 12: just happened to be everywhere where something was happening. 1235 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Well, how did the where do you get the name 1236 01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:42,320 Speaker 1: Throne of Grace. 1237 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:49,080 Speaker 12: It's from the Bible. See once again anomaly. All these 1238 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 12: whiskey swilling, cigars smoking, they all these mountain men, they 1239 01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,160 Speaker 12: all womaned up, as they called it, with a quote 1240 01:04:56,280 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 12: unquote Indian wife. But Smith was from this hard Puritan stock. 1241 01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 12: And there was a wonderful quote from one of his contemporaries, 1242 01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 12: considered the mountaintop his altar, and the forest glade is 1243 01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:13,960 Speaker 12: confessional and so late when he was writing letters back 1244 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 12: to his brother, back to his father, and at one 1245 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 12: point he said, oh, I miss home so much. It's 1246 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 12: been five years since I was in Saint Louis. I 1247 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,560 Speaker 12: longed to be in the Christian community. I longed to 1248 01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 12: be in the almighties throne of Grace. And as soon 1249 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 12: as I read that one of his letters, I said, Tom, 1250 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:32,800 Speaker 12: there's our title. 1251 01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean perfect you never you never know. 1252 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 12: I mean the Daniel Boone book. We wrote Blood and Treasure, 1253 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 12: almost the same thing. Late in life. Daniel Boone was 1254 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 12: giving an interview to this. I'm not sure if it 1255 01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:49,640 Speaker 12: was a magazine writer, a dime store novelist, and he said, 1256 01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,520 Speaker 12: I've given so much blood and treasure because he had 1257 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 12: lost three children. I've given so much blood and treasure 1258 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:57,360 Speaker 12: to this country, and Tom and I just said, there's 1259 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,439 Speaker 12: our title, blood treasure. It was the same thing Throne 1260 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 12: of Grace. I think it's Hebrews for sixteen. I'm not 1261 01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:06,360 Speaker 12: that much of a religious man, but I knew I 1262 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,440 Speaker 12: was going to get this question, and Throne of Grace 1263 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,840 Speaker 12: just it summed up what he was all about and 1264 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 12: basically what the country he was discovering was all about. 1265 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:17,800 Speaker 1: Well, considering the moment in time you were in and 1266 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,400 Speaker 1: you talk about you know, they maybe money was a factor. 1267 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 1: They obviously the fur trading was lucrative. How in the 1268 01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 1: name of hell were they able to get their wares 1269 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,520 Speaker 1: back to say Saint Louis from far of the far 1270 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,560 Speaker 1: reaches of the West. I mean, we're not talking about, 1271 01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,440 Speaker 1: you know, railroad here, We're talking about at best horseback 1272 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,120 Speaker 1: or mule. So how is it even possible to make 1273 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:41,600 Speaker 1: money in any given trade that would require you being 1274 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,080 Speaker 1: so far away from shall we say civilization? 1275 01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 12: Well there was an old mountain man saying I'd rather 1276 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 12: float my goods than carry them, So you're right. Pack trains, 1277 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 12: mule trains sometimes did it. But for the most part 1278 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 12: these guys stuck to the rivers up the Missouri and 1279 01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:02,760 Speaker 12: then down it's many tributaries, the Tongue, the Muscleshell, the Judith, 1280 01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 12: and they would carve out their own parogies and flatboats. 1281 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 12: Flatboats would be pulled or pulled up to Missouri. They 1282 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 12: were all equipped with the sail, but as you know, 1283 01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 12: the Missouri is such a winding river, sails on a 1284 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 12: boat basically did nothing for you. Yeah, and these giant 1285 01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 12: flatboats would just be lugged thousands of miles up into 1286 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,200 Speaker 12: the mountains and parked, and then they carve their perogies. 1287 01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 12: They'd go up and down. Luckily, beaver is an aquatic animal, 1288 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,080 Speaker 12: so they didn't have to go too far from the 1289 01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,760 Speaker 12: water to trap these beaver and up and down until 1290 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,520 Speaker 12: until now, Tom and I were loath you mentioned it before. 1291 01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,800 Speaker 12: We're loath to use the word discover in our books. 1292 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,960 Speaker 12: Daniel Boone no more discovered the Cumberland Gap than Jed 1293 01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:54,960 Speaker 12: Smith discovered South Past and Southeast Wyoming. But he was 1294 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 12: the first American to kind of stumble through south past 1295 01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 12: this chink in the Rocky Mountain. It's about eighteen miles wide, 1296 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,040 Speaker 12: and although it's at elevation, it's at eight or nine 1297 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 12: thousand feet. It's rather gentle. And that was the beginning 1298 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,560 Speaker 12: of the Oregon Trail. You could get wagons through South Pass. 1299 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,040 Speaker 12: You no longer had to take a pack train, as 1300 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,719 Speaker 12: Lewis and Clark did through one of these snowbound thin 1301 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:23,519 Speaker 12: had a chink. Now you've got Now you've got wide 1302 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 12: open mountains. So they basically went from flatboats and canoes 1303 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:27,719 Speaker 12: to wagons. 1304 01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:33,000 Speaker 1: And this was all pre PATAGONI yeah, right, I just 1305 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,799 Speaker 1: cannot imagine having to deal with the elements, let alone 1306 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,200 Speaker 1: and before we part company. And this is an absolutely 1307 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 1: fascinating books. I know my listener are going to want 1308 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 1: to get a copy of Thrown a Gray, So you 1309 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,559 Speaker 1: can did that at fifty five care Sea dot com, Bob, 1310 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,040 Speaker 1: So it made it real easy for him to get 1311 01:08:45,040 --> 01:08:48,720 Speaker 1: a copy. The idea again going back to the Native 1312 01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:51,360 Speaker 1: American population, had we'd gotten out in the west, to 1313 01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,240 Speaker 1: the native tribes in the West, that these new settlers, 1314 01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 1: these explorers, these folks that were you know, the sphere 1315 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: of manifest destiny as you write, represented some sort of 1316 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,360 Speaker 1: existential threat to them? Were they a threat to guys 1317 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:05,439 Speaker 1: like Jedediah Smith? 1318 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:09,360 Speaker 12: Oh, of course, of course, the Harry white men. Who 1319 01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 12: are these harry white men invading our territory? I mean, 1320 01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,519 Speaker 12: as we both know, long before any Europeans set foot 1321 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:22,560 Speaker 12: on North America's fatal shores, these tribes had kind of 1322 01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:24,680 Speaker 12: staked out their own territories. And whether it was the 1323 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:29,839 Speaker 12: Sioux and the Arikara along Missouri corridor, or the Cheyenne 1324 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 12: or Rapaho on the plains, or the Crow in the mountains, 1325 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,720 Speaker 12: the black Feet in the mountains. And at first when 1326 01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,439 Speaker 12: Lewis and Clark was a perfect example, they were treated 1327 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 12: well by the Indians. Now the Indians robbed from them, 1328 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,920 Speaker 12: but that's what Indians did in those days. The Crow 1329 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,559 Speaker 12: used to brag, we don't kill the white men because 1330 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:50,840 Speaker 12: we'll steal your horses, and if we kill you all, 1331 01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,479 Speaker 12: you won't come back with more horses for us. But 1332 01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,200 Speaker 12: the other tribes were not so accommodating. In fact, the 1333 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:02,000 Speaker 12: very first Indian war was the Mississippi that involved the 1334 01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,479 Speaker 12: United States soldiers took place on the Missouri with the 1335 01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 12: Eric Carrott tribe and Smith once again Zelig like he 1336 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,519 Speaker 12: and his trapping crew happened to be there. They're the 1337 01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 12: ones who's fired. 1338 01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:12,839 Speaker 6: The first shots. 1339 01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,680 Speaker 1: The book is just going to be fabulous.

I have no idea, 1407 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,280 Speaker 13: but I'm hoping, well, can I. 1408 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:13,840 Speaker 1: Okay, you mentioned the beach because that was one of 1409 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,759 Speaker 1: the questions I wanted to ask you. Had you thaught Omaha, Juno, Gold, 1410 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,040 Speaker 1: and I believe Sword were the multiple beaches least the 1411 01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:24,280 Speaker 1: code names for them. Omaha was mine, Omaha was yours, 1412 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 1: and that was one of the bloodier conflicts, if I 1413 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:28,920 Speaker 1: recall correctly my World War II history? What was it 1414 01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:30,599 Speaker 1: like on day two when you landed. 1415 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:34,439 Speaker 13: I had my first kill there? 1416 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 1: Oh my yeah. 1417 01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,920 Speaker 13: I was part of the seven man team and we 1418 01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,479 Speaker 13: were sleeping on the beach that night under a tree, 1419 01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 13: trying to get some sleep, and Michelle went all over 1420 01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:50,600 Speaker 13: our head and it lit it up like daylight, and 1421 01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,320 Speaker 13: we woke up and stand there looking at us. We 1422 01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:57,640 Speaker 13: thought was a German soldier with his rifle pointed right 1423 01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:01,439 Speaker 13: at us, and one of a shot and killed that 1424 01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:07,760 Speaker 13: tree that night. It was a tree branch. But being 1425 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 13: scared to death, kids, our imagination went wild. 1426 01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:14,280 Speaker 1: Well it's kids, yeah, but any human being in that 1427 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,400 Speaker 1: position would have had the life scared out of them. 1428 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:20,000 Speaker 1: This is what we call badassory, Henry Armstrong. But yeah, 1429 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,120 Speaker 1: i'd shoot a tree. I'd probably shoot it a shadow. 1430 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:25,680 Speaker 1: And how could anyone get any sleep under those circumstances? 1431 01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:26,960 Speaker 1: How do you accomplish it? 1432 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:30,600 Speaker 13: You try, You just try, and you don't get what 1433 01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,400 Speaker 13: you would call normal sleep. It's dozing sleep. I think 1434 01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,960 Speaker 13: you you doze off and the least little sound will 1435 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,719 Speaker 13: wake you up, and then you go back to sleep 1436 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:43,000 Speaker 13: and the sound will wake you up again. So I 1437 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:47,720 Speaker 13: don't know that anytime over there that I would be 1438 01:14:47,880 --> 01:14:50,479 Speaker 13: able to say that I went to bed at night 1439 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:51,720 Speaker 13: and slept a full night. 1440 01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,640 Speaker 1: Oh so how long did it take you to make 1441 01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:57,280 Speaker 1: it off the beach and move? I guess it's south 1442 01:14:57,439 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 1: is the direction of head? 1443 01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 13: Well, we moved really the next day, because you weren't 1444 01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:06,160 Speaker 13: on the beach very long. And we moved the next 1445 01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,640 Speaker 13: day and start moving out of there. I have a 1446 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 13: young fellow at church, and he got me a picture 1447 01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:16,080 Speaker 13: of the beach, and the beach is exactly what it says, 1448 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:20,280 Speaker 13: it's a beach. There's nothing there but earth the beach. 1449 01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:23,200 Speaker 13: And then he got me a picture of the same 1450 01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,800 Speaker 13: area today and there's one hundred somewhat homes that have 1451 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,640 Speaker 13: been constructed on that area. On that beach area, there 1452 01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 13: is now a military cemetery, there's a military memorial, and 1453 01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:43,320 Speaker 13: it's really bit up. It's an attractive area right now. 1454 01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,040 Speaker 13: And I've got pictures of both. 1455 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:46,160 Speaker 9: Then and now. 1456 01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:49,880 Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's got to be a little bit heartbreaking 1457 01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:53,400 Speaker 1: to see how much development has shown up since those days. 1458 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 1: But that's what they call progress in many circles. 1459 01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,200 Speaker 13: Yeah, I guess you're you're absolutely right. 1460 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:01,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you you get off the beach rather quickly. 1461 01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,560 Speaker 1: How bad and intense was the fighting as you proceeded 1462 01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:07,640 Speaker 1: south over the next course of days, weeks, months, I 1463 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:08,880 Speaker 1: guess I need to know that as well. 1464 01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:10,160 Speaker 7: Well. 1465 01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,639 Speaker 13: It varied, Let's say, let's put it that way. 1466 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:15,080 Speaker 7: It varied. 1467 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,800 Speaker 13: It all depends on what you came across. If you 1468 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:21,759 Speaker 13: came across a German division, then fighting was pretty furious. 1469 01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,880 Speaker 13: But if you came across just a small we're trying 1470 01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 13: to say, a group of Germans patrol, it wasn't bad. Yeah, 1471 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,840 Speaker 13: I could patrol or something like that. It wasn't that bad, really, 1472 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,800 Speaker 13: But it all depended on what you were finding along 1473 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:43,519 Speaker 13: the way, And it was surprising the number of things 1474 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,879 Speaker 13: that we found along the way that we didn't particularly 1475 01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,840 Speaker 13: care about it, and one of those was after we 1476 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 13: left France, we went on over to Paris and we 1477 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:59,920 Speaker 13: were supposed to take Paris my division, and we were 1478 01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 13: on the outskirts about ready to do it because the 1479 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,479 Speaker 13: Germans still occupied Paris at that time, and then we 1480 01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:08,960 Speaker 13: were told to stop that they wanted General de Gaulle 1481 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 13: to take Paris. 1482 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 4: Well. 1483 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 13: General de Gaulle being the French general, it's logical that 1484 01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 13: he take his own country, you know. So we moved 1485 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:20,280 Speaker 13: and we let General degaul do it. We moved north 1486 01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:24,280 Speaker 13: of Paris to a town called Bichet, and it was 1487 01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,200 Speaker 13: occupied no where was the American division and was fighting 1488 01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:31,519 Speaker 13: at the battle for a while. But anyway, we relieved 1489 01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:34,240 Speaker 13: them and took the town of Bichet the next day, 1490 01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 13: and we changed the name. The name of the town 1491 01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,880 Speaker 13: was called in French Bichet, and it is spelled b 1492 01:17:41,160 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 13: I T C h E. 1493 01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:50,679 Speaker 1: I can understand why, yes, I do, And that provides 1494 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,720 Speaker 1: a perfect springboard for a question I wanted to ask you, 1495 01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:54,760 Speaker 1: because you know, I've seen a lot of you know, 1496 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,559 Speaker 1: Hollywood movies on World War Two, the D Day Invasion, 1497 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:01,280 Speaker 1: of the like and other various conflicts within the war. 1498 01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,680 Speaker 1: Because obviously raged on for years. What was the reception 1499 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,120 Speaker 1: by the locals when let's say you entered Bochet and 1500 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 1: liberated the town. 1501 01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:14,280 Speaker 13: Well, the French, the reception was always great. It was 1502 01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,840 Speaker 13: just fantastic. And in Germany it was a lot different. 1503 01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 13: But in France, as we would progress where we were going, 1504 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,920 Speaker 13: uh into these French countries or French towns, let's say, 1505 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,800 Speaker 13: and uh and get rid of the Germans there, the 1506 01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 13: French were just I can't say, just how polite and 1507 01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 13: how nice they were, because they were eager to see 1508 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 13: you and eager, you know, to be relieved of that 1509 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:46,599 Speaker 13: German thing. Because Germans I just had the hardest problem 1510 01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 13: in the world with why an adult person, I don't 1511 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 13: care uniform or not, would treat other humans the way 1512 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,160 Speaker 13: they did, like the concentration camps for instance. 1513 01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1514 01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:01,879 Speaker 13: The one story that really irritated me more than anything 1515 01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,840 Speaker 13: else over there was when we went through a small 1516 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,600 Speaker 13: a small village and in the village we found a 1517 01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:14,000 Speaker 13: box car on the railhead, and outside the box car 1518 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 13: were just huge piles of rags and we couldn't figure 1519 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 13: out why so many rags until we got there and 1520 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,599 Speaker 13: we found that the rags contained the bodies of women 1521 01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 13: and children and little babies, and they had all been executed. 1522 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,760 Speaker 13: They were all shot. And we found out later on 1523 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:37,320 Speaker 13: that they were Jewish, of course, but you figure, you know, 1524 01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 13: I love children, I have a lot of my own. 1525 01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 13: But to realize that a grown person would have the 1526 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 13: nerve to shoot a baby in arms, Why what is 1527 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 13: that baby done to this world? Nothing, It's still a baby. 1528 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 13: But they did, and there were several babies that had 1529 01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:02,400 Speaker 13: bullet holes in them. And we there because and we 1530 01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,000 Speaker 13: were really irritated then. But we went on down the 1531 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,120 Speaker 13: road and we came across a concentration camp called Gunskirk 1532 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:15,519 Speaker 13: and Lager and the Germans were still occupying that camp, 1533 01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,240 Speaker 13: and we, I guess got rid of about twenty five 1534 01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:22,800 Speaker 13: or thirty SS troopers in that camp because of what 1535 01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 13: we had seen down the road. And when I say 1536 01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:29,680 Speaker 13: got rid of, I mean we got rid of. And 1537 01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,800 Speaker 13: we opened up the camp to one hundred and some 1538 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,680 Speaker 13: odd inmates, and a lot of the inmates there were 1539 01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,519 Speaker 13: families of the ones we'd found on the road. Oh my, 1540 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:43,639 Speaker 13: and the way they treated them. They gave them one 1541 01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 13: cup of beef broth a day. That's the only food 1542 01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:52,280 Speaker 13: they got. And then if any of them died, and 1543 01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:53,840 Speaker 13: a lot of them did, because they were all skin 1544 01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:58,639 Speaker 13: and bones, if any of them died, instead of taking 1545 01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 13: them out and putting them in a bear ground somewhere, 1546 01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 13: they just take them out in the woods and put 1547 01:21:02,840 --> 01:21:04,880 Speaker 13: them on the ground even later. And that's the way 1548 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:06,840 Speaker 13: they treat them. And I said, that's the reason I 1549 01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 13: got so irritated more than anything else, is the way 1550 01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,360 Speaker 13: they treated another human being. 1551 01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:13,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, you'd think that we'd have learned 1552 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 1: something by then, but then you know, October seventh of 1553 01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,559 Speaker 1: last year occurs, and it seems to me the same 1554 01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:19,880 Speaker 1: type of thing goes on and. 1555 01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:22,360 Speaker 13: Human it goes on and on and on. 1556 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:27,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is truly a shame, uh Now, in 1557 01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,800 Speaker 1: terms of your recollections of the war. And I had 1558 01:21:33,800 --> 01:21:35,639 Speaker 1: the pleasure to talk with another World War Two veteran 1559 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,320 Speaker 1: who actually was a prisoner of war in Stalog Low three, 1560 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 1: which is the subject matter of The Great Escape, which 1561 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:42,600 Speaker 1: is a movie we all understand and know about, and 1562 01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:44,640 Speaker 1: he had he commented on that. He said, well, with 1563 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,360 Speaker 1: the exception of Steve McQueen and his motorcycle antics. That 1564 01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:50,800 Speaker 1: movie pretty much was dead on accurate about you know, 1565 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,360 Speaker 1: what they did and how they escape. Is there any 1566 01:21:53,520 --> 01:21:57,240 Speaker 1: particular movie that you could say, Yeah, this pretty much 1567 01:21:57,280 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 1: sums up the Invasion of Normandy. It's kind of act 1568 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:01,760 Speaker 1: curate that we could look at and kind of get 1569 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,559 Speaker 1: a feel for what it was truly like. Or has 1570 01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,840 Speaker 1: anybody done that yet to meet your level of expectations 1571 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:07,679 Speaker 1: having been there. 1572 01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:11,479 Speaker 13: I'll put it this way. I've seen probably most of 1573 01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 13: those movies, and I look at it this way. For 1574 01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:19,760 Speaker 13: them to make a movie the way they did, they 1575 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:23,000 Speaker 13: had to have a lot of facts about it. And 1576 01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 13: I'm going to say that most of the movies that 1577 01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,040 Speaker 13: I saw were pretty realistic. 1578 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:29,760 Speaker 12: But I. 1579 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 13: Am not going to put it I wasn't involved in 1580 01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,639 Speaker 13: a lot of that stuff that they showed. They wanted 1581 01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:45,600 Speaker 13: to show all the extreme things. I think, yeah, and 1582 01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:47,920 Speaker 13: I wasn't involved in. 1583 01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:48,519 Speaker 5: Well. 1584 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,360 Speaker 13: I had a few extreme things, but nothing that I 1585 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:53,080 Speaker 13: would say would make a movie. 1586 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:57,439 Speaker 1: Fair enough well to thank god you're still here to 1587 01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,160 Speaker 1: talk about it. I understand you had an encounter at 1588 01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,040 Speaker 1: some point with a General Patten at the Rhyane River. 1589 01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 13: You heard that I met General Patten as far as 1590 01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:13,519 Speaker 13: I'm concerned, as far as far as most of the 1591 01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:18,439 Speaker 13: gis over there are concerned about him. Was the best 1592 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,400 Speaker 13: general we had during World War Two. And the reason 1593 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,479 Speaker 13: I say that is General Patten was what we called 1594 01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,599 Speaker 13: a general. He was a leader of troops. 1595 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:30,120 Speaker 6: And he was. 1596 01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:36,320 Speaker 13: Not only a leader, he respected the troops. You had 1597 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,960 Speaker 13: a lot of generals that really didn't respect the people 1598 01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 13: that served Dunham. But you had a lot of generals 1599 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 13: that went instead of being up with their troops, they 1600 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:49,000 Speaker 13: were back behind a desk, directing everything over a telephone 1601 01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:53,240 Speaker 13: or over a radio, where Patten didn't do Thatten he 1602 01:23:53,439 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 13: was a leader. And I met him at the Battle 1603 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,599 Speaker 13: of the Ryan River. And when the battle was over, 1604 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:01,519 Speaker 13: he came down to the river, sit out on the 1605 01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:04,120 Speaker 13: barge and gave a little speech of how proud he 1606 01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:07,760 Speaker 13: was of the man that served under him. And no 1607 01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:10,280 Speaker 13: other general ever did that that I know of, anyway. 1608 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:12,840 Speaker 13: And when he got through, he says, I got to 1609 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,880 Speaker 13: leave my mark in the river, and he did. 1610 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 7: How about that? 1611 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:20,840 Speaker 13: And he went out on the barge and zip his 1612 01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:27,840 Speaker 13: pants and he put in the river. And I've got 1613 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 13: that picture. 1614 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 1: Oh no, we should have that out. I'm sorry that 1615 01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:34,639 Speaker 1: that should have been on the cover of Time magazine. Henry. 1616 01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 13: It probably was, because that's been noted in a lot 1617 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 13: of history things. It's a popular thing. I didn't take 1618 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 13: the picture. Somebody else took the picture. 1619 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:44,040 Speaker 10: Wow. 1620 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 1: Well, after serving the Army forty one years, reached the 1621 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,360 Speaker 1: rank of what commands sergeant major. Have I got that 1622 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:51,000 Speaker 1: part right? 1623 01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:51,599 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1624 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:56,160 Speaker 13: That's there's only one rank in the Army enlisted rank 1625 01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 13: that's higher than that, and he's a sergeant major of 1626 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:03,320 Speaker 13: the Army. But I was when they came out with 1627 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 13: a sergeant major rank, which was after the war. Really, 1628 01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 13: I was on the first order to get it. And 1629 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 13: then they progress from sergeant major to command sergeant major 1630 01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 13: and sergeant major of the Army. That's the way they went. 1631 01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:22,360 Speaker 13: They're all equal ranks, but there's only one that outranks me, 1632 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,280 Speaker 13: and that's a sergeant major of the Army. 1633 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,760 Speaker 1: Well, you rank really high in the hearts and minds 1634 01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,080 Speaker 1: of my listeners. This conversation has been absolutely fantastic.

I was entered into the what they 1803 01:34:50,320 --> 01:34:55,679 Speaker 9: call an interrogation camp do lag look boklog Dordlogger, which 1804 01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:59,640 Speaker 9: you through the Air Force was interviewing prisoners should have. 1805 01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,320 Speaker 9: They wanted to get any information we could get at 1806 01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 9: the Germans and the Allied Air forces. And I left 1807 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:18,040 Speaker 9: there and was shent on a train to Stalog Love three, 1808 01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:21,720 Speaker 9: which was in the actually in Germany right at the 1809 01:35:21,800 --> 01:35:26,160 Speaker 9: Polish border. I was prisoner number two thousand and five 1810 01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:31,760 Speaker 9: hundred and fifty five. There. The camp was as an 1811 01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:35,040 Speaker 9: old camp, but they didn't have prisoners until just recently. 1812 01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,880 Speaker 1: So how are the conditions? And I know most of 1813 01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:42,479 Speaker 1: my listening audience has seen The Great Escape, the movie 1814 01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:45,680 Speaker 1: about stalog Luft three, and these and the tunnels that 1815 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:49,439 Speaker 1: were dug, well, go ahead. 1816 01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:55,000 Speaker 9: Germans really kept the camp and us in good ship. 1817 01:35:55,800 --> 01:35:59,920 Speaker 9: There was no personal animosity between us and our guard. 1818 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,559 Speaker 9: In fact, some of them had been fires in World 1819 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:07,679 Speaker 9: War One. The camp when I got there, the camp 1820 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:12,479 Speaker 9: had twenty twenty five hundred prisoners. It kept. Now we're 1821 01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:15,960 Speaker 9: getting more bob groups from English, from the United States, 1822 01:36:16,520 --> 01:36:18,280 Speaker 9: so every week we get new men. 1823 01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:24,320 Speaker 1: Were we divided by nationality? Because the Great Escape movie 1824 01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,320 Speaker 1: seemed to think that this showed that the British were 1825 01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:28,680 Speaker 1: on one side and the Americans were on another. Is 1826 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:29,280 Speaker 1: that accurate? 1827 01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,640 Speaker 9: When I got there, the Americans and the British were 1828 01:36:32,680 --> 01:36:37,920 Speaker 9: together together who they opened a new camp and they 1829 01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:39,920 Speaker 9: moved all the Britains out of there. 1830 01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:45,160 Speaker 1: Okay, Now, whose idea was the tunneling project? When was that? 1831 01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,360 Speaker 1: How long were you there when that was hatched? And 1832 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:50,360 Speaker 1: did you did you participate or know that that was 1833 01:36:50,439 --> 01:36:50,800 Speaker 1: going on? 1834 01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:57,440 Speaker 9: Actually at Stylet Gluke three, eventually there were five different enclosures, 1835 01:36:57,520 --> 01:37:01,000 Speaker 9: you know, because you can't even govern us man easier 1836 01:37:01,080 --> 01:37:05,080 Speaker 9: than five thousands. Uh So I was not in the 1837 01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:09,400 Speaker 9: camp where that tunnel was a crook. Okay, the tunnel 1838 01:37:09,560 --> 01:37:12,000 Speaker 9: was in the north camp and I was in center camp. 1839 01:37:12,400 --> 01:37:15,120 Speaker 1: Did you get word about the tunnels being dug when 1840 01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:16,840 Speaker 1: you were at the south the other camp, or did 1841 01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:19,240 Speaker 1: they find out about that? Find out about that later, Bob, 1842 01:37:19,920 --> 01:37:20,519 Speaker 1: not much. 1843 01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:23,400 Speaker 9: We didn't get much information because you don't want to 1844 01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:29,320 Speaker 9: put that information on I knew the the engineer for 1845 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:34,360 Speaker 9: the tunnel was a Canadian. It was uh challenge. I 1846 01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:38,680 Speaker 9: can't think of his name right now. Uh, but uh, 1847 01:37:38,960 --> 01:37:41,439 Speaker 9: there was no there was no tunneling from the center 1848 01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:48,360 Speaker 9: camp where I was. There were some sheeps sneaking out 1849 01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,680 Speaker 9: over at the fence at night, but that was a 1850 01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,680 Speaker 9: total limit. So we did We knew that there was 1851 01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:57,000 Speaker 9: a tunnel going on about not much else. 1852 01:37:57,640 --> 01:37:57,760 Speaker 7: Now. 1853 01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,320 Speaker 1: When the tunnels were discovered, I imagine there had to 1854 01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:04,000 Speaker 1: have been rather an uproar at the camp. What was 1855 01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:07,160 Speaker 1: the response from the Germans after the tunnels were discovered, 1856 01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:08,800 Speaker 1: at least in so far as you and the rest 1857 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:10,000 Speaker 1: of the prisoners are concerned. 1858 01:38:11,080 --> 01:38:14,240 Speaker 9: Well, they may have been a little more strict, but 1859 01:38:15,160 --> 01:38:17,559 Speaker 9: there wasn't much. I say, we were in a different 1860 01:38:17,640 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 9: section of the camp, and of course it was hard 1861 01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:24,840 Speaker 9: on var Men buying her the German colonel he was 1862 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 9: court martialed immediately, and he was an old Air Force 1863 01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:34,920 Speaker 9: man and by and large he treated us. 1864 01:38:36,880 --> 01:38:37,080 Speaker 14: Well. 1865 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,120 Speaker 9: He ignored us most of the time. 1866 01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:44,400 Speaker 1: Well, when you're dealing with the Germans the Nazis in 1867 01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:46,479 Speaker 1: that situation, Bob, I would think that's a good thing, 1868 01:38:46,560 --> 01:38:49,240 Speaker 1: you get ignored. It sounded to me like not as 1869 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,720 Speaker 1: bad as many prison camps could have been. No one 1870 01:38:51,760 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 1: wants to be in a prison camp. But we did 1871 01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:58,240 Speaker 1: this relationship with the guards and the men there. Did 1872 01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:02,280 Speaker 1: that help facilitate getting these tunnels done? Because when I've 1873 01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:04,240 Speaker 1: seen the Great Escape, I always wonder how in the 1874 01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,840 Speaker 1: heck did they get cameras to take pictures? Where did 1875 01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:10,479 Speaker 1: all this equipment come from? In clothing items and all 1876 01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:12,599 Speaker 1: the stuff that they needed to fake their way out. 1877 01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:17,719 Speaker 9: The clothing was furnished by the Red Cross. They didn't 1878 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:19,800 Speaker 9: pay for it, but they the only one that could 1879 01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:26,240 Speaker 9: deliver it. We had the red parcel weighed seven pounds. 1880 01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:29,680 Speaker 9: The food parcel it was intended to keep one man 1881 01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:33,320 Speaker 9: alive for a week, but they had twelve ounces of spam, 1882 01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:37,160 Speaker 9: twelve ounces of corn, pound of margarine. We didn't try 1883 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:43,800 Speaker 9: for some chalk with some cheese, and five packages of 1884 01:39:43,960 --> 01:39:50,840 Speaker 9: cigarette which were currency and still currency in Europe when 1885 01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:55,599 Speaker 9: trains could move and ships weren't being so we were 1886 01:39:55,720 --> 01:40:00,280 Speaker 9: supposed to get a Red Cross parcel every week. They 1887 01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:05,400 Speaker 9: never happened. The two Cincinnati companies helped us a lot. 1888 01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 9: The United States Floting Card Company was in Norwood. We 1889 01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:15,040 Speaker 9: wanted maps, escape maps. So there are fifty two cards 1890 01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:19,320 Speaker 9: in the deck, forty cards, two jokers and two uh 1891 01:40:19,880 --> 01:40:26,400 Speaker 9: faced eagle or bicycle advertising. And they would print a 1892 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:29,600 Speaker 9: map on their showing the best routes of escape and 1893 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:32,320 Speaker 9: where they were Germans. And then they would cut him 1894 01:40:32,439 --> 01:40:34,880 Speaker 9: up into I mean they would cover it up with 1895 01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:39,439 Speaker 9: it and then cut him up into cards. And if 1896 01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:42,640 Speaker 9: there was a map in a deck of cards, the 1897 01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,200 Speaker 9: coasted the attacked stamp on the front of the bat 1898 01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:50,519 Speaker 9: us put slanting so that we didn't want to play 1899 01:40:50,560 --> 01:40:53,120 Speaker 9: with those cards. When they got to the camp, we 1900 01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:58,479 Speaker 9: could choak them in water and that face card and 1901 01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:01,760 Speaker 9: numbers came off. Then we just set up a map 1902 01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:02,559 Speaker 9: for escape. 1903 01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:04,160 Speaker 1: That is amazing. 1904 01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:08,479 Speaker 9: There was a baseball coming in.

So what you just mentioned is that Pfeiser 1962 01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:38,640 Speaker 15: had enough data according to its own contract for what 1963 01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:43,840 Speaker 15: is enough data to declare to conclude that the vaccines 1964 01:44:43,880 --> 01:44:47,120 Speaker 15: were safe and effective, even though they were using kind 1965 01:44:47,160 --> 01:44:51,599 Speaker 15: of false metrics to reach that conclusion. But they had 1966 01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:55,680 Speaker 15: enough data to make that announcement, and their contract. 1967 01:44:57,720 --> 01:44:58,920 Speaker 5: Stipulated that they had. 1968 01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:02,920 Speaker 15: To make it before November first of twenty twenty. And 1969 01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:06,759 Speaker 15: yet and their contract was with the Department of Defense, 1970 01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:12,799 Speaker 15: and yet they sat on that announcement, violating their contract 1971 01:45:13,040 --> 01:45:18,000 Speaker 15: until November ninth, twenty twenty, after the election, And basically 1972 01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:21,200 Speaker 15: what they were doing was, and I you know, I 1973 01:45:21,200 --> 01:45:23,960 Speaker 15: am not partisan, I voted for Biden, I'm sorry to say. 1974 01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:28,599 Speaker 15: But what they essentially did was they withheld a victory 1975 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,680 Speaker 15: from President Trump, who was being as sales on the 1976 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,800 Speaker 15: campaign trail for not doing enough to get a vaccine out, 1977 01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,519 Speaker 15: not doing enough to stop COVID, and they gave a 1978 01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:40,840 Speaker 15: gift to the newly elected President Biden, well, a. 1979 01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:43,160 Speaker 1: Gift that actually didn't turn out to be a vaccine 1980 01:45:43,200 --> 01:45:45,240 Speaker 1: in the sense it didn't stop you from contracting COVID 1981 01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:48,400 Speaker 1: or allowing you to spread it. But that's a different story. 1982 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:52,000 Speaker 1: What this contract. You know, when I'm being a lawyer, 1983 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:54,439 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, Okay, a contract usually involves one or or 1984 01:45:54,520 --> 01:45:56,920 Speaker 1: two or more parties the other part of the contract. 1985 01:45:57,040 --> 01:45:59,160 Speaker 1: US government. Weren't they the ones that should have enforced 1986 01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,200 Speaker 1: the release of these these documents? Were they in on 1987 01:46:02,439 --> 01:46:04,160 Speaker 1: the sitting on these reports? 1988 01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:11,240 Speaker 15: Well, exactly, of course, there is someone or you know, 1989 01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:14,519 Speaker 15: any number of people whose job is to make sure 1990 01:46:14,560 --> 01:46:20,599 Speaker 15: that this contract was properly observed and enforced. And so yes, 1991 01:46:22,120 --> 01:46:24,720 Speaker 15: that those people in the US government who would be 1992 01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:30,200 Speaker 15: pretty Senior made the decision to let that happen or 1993 01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:33,880 Speaker 15: colludeed in that decision because they would have known that. 1994 01:46:35,600 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 15: You know, the end of October was when the contract 1995 01:46:37,600 --> 01:46:40,559 Speaker 15: said pleaser had to make the announcement, make the update 1996 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:43,040 Speaker 15: of whether it's vaccine safety aspected. 1997 01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 1: There are standards for studies of medicine. We know that 1998 01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:48,200 Speaker 1: it's very difficult. Wrote to Hoo to try to get 1999 01:46:48,320 --> 01:46:50,800 Speaker 1: FDA approval. You have to go through multiple clinical trials, 2000 01:46:50,800 --> 01:46:53,720 Speaker 1: et cetera. It's it appears to me, and this is 2001 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking for either correct me if I'm wrong, or 2002 01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:59,840 Speaker 1: confirm that I'm right. This contract identified the number of 2003 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:02,720 Speaker 1: patients that needed to be looked at in terms of 2004 01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:05,400 Speaker 1: evaluating the efficacy of this and it was a very 2005 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,360 Speaker 1: low number. One hundred and seventy. Have I read that right? 2006 01:47:10,280 --> 01:47:15,559 Speaker 15: Yes, in order to declare the vaccine safe and effective. 2007 01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:20,880 Speaker 15: That's how many people the contract stipulated they needed. Actually 2008 01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:24,519 Speaker 15: only sixty two at the end of October, and ultimately 2009 01:47:24,520 --> 01:47:29,320 Speaker 15: one hundred and seventy. But there's so many things wrong 2010 01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,960 Speaker 15: with the contract. I mean, I should just say the 2011 01:47:32,080 --> 01:47:35,919 Speaker 15: vaccine didn't have to go through the usual FDA trials 2012 01:47:36,040 --> 01:47:39,880 Speaker 15: because it was delivered via an emergency use authorization. Right, 2013 01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:44,440 Speaker 15: But so yeah, even so, you know, what these volunteers 2014 01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:48,680 Speaker 15: have found is that you know, funny mass all the 2015 01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:52,760 Speaker 15: way through in order to be able to claim efficacy. 2016 01:47:52,880 --> 01:48:00,639 Speaker 15: For instance, two hundred vaccinated people got COVID and one 2017 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:05,760 Speaker 15: hundred and well a little less than two hundred and 2018 01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:11,160 Speaker 15: should say unvaccinated people got COVID, and so there would 2019 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:14,120 Speaker 15: be negative efficacy if they kept the actual numbers. And 2020 01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:16,599 Speaker 15: so what Fizer did was they just dropped the two 2021 01:48:16,720 --> 01:48:22,560 Speaker 15: hundred vaccinated people with COVID from their calculation so that 2022 01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:24,960 Speaker 15: they could claim that the vaccine was ninety five percent 2023 01:48:25,040 --> 01:48:25,799 Speaker 15: safe and effective. 2024 01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,280 Speaker 1: So what they sat on was erroneous information, and then 2025 01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:35,000 Speaker 1: they released erroneous information to benefit Biden. But ultimately it 2026 01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:36,960 Speaker 1: benefited Biden only in so far as that we the 2027 01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:39,160 Speaker 1: American people who were being told we needed a vaccine, 2028 01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,280 Speaker 1: didn't realize at the time that it wasn't going to 2029 01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:43,000 Speaker 1: help us, and in some cases maybe hurt us. 2030 01:48:44,040 --> 01:48:46,760 Speaker 15: Well in many cases, I mean, that's the tragic thing. 2031 01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:51,000 Speaker 15: In a month after rollout in November twenty twenty, TiSER 2032 01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:55,200 Speaker 15: concluded that the vaccines failed. They concluded in their own 2033 01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:59,240 Speaker 15: words that there was quote vaccine failure and failure of efficacy, 2034 01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:02,760 Speaker 15: and in the Pleisure documents, the third most common side 2035 01:49:02,800 --> 01:49:06,040 Speaker 15: effect of getting the vaccine is COVID, So it doesn't 2036 01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:08,600 Speaker 15: stop you from getting COVID and it doesn't stop you 2037 01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:11,679 Speaker 15: from transmitting it. And they knew that from the very start, 2038 01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:15,840 Speaker 15: but they didn't tell the American people. And unfortunately it's 2039 01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:18,720 Speaker 15: not just in some cases there are side effects. What 2040 01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:24,040 Speaker 15: the volunteers have found is tens of thousands of very 2041 01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:32,120 Speaker 15: serious side effects, industrial level neurological events, strokes, blood problems, 2042 01:49:32,200 --> 01:49:38,760 Speaker 15: blood clots, lung clots, leg clots, hemorrhages, hard damage and 2043 01:49:39,920 --> 01:49:44,320 Speaker 15: brain damage, kidney damage, liver damage, and twelve hundred and 2044 01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:49,000 Speaker 15: twenty five deaths in just three months. In a number 2045 01:49:49,200 --> 01:49:52,960 Speaker 15: of the reports the volunteers made, half of the ever's 2046 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:58,400 Speaker 15: events were within forty eight hours of receiving injection. And yeah, 2047 01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:01,320 Speaker 15: and you know they knew, for instance, by May of 2048 01:50:01,400 --> 01:50:06,040 Speaker 15: twenty twenty one that miners sustained heart damage thirty five 2049 01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,519 Speaker 15: miners and the one studies sustained heart damage within a 2050 01:50:09,640 --> 01:50:12,439 Speaker 15: week after receiving me A Murni injection. But they didn't 2051 01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:14,880 Speaker 15: tell the American people and the FDA didn't tell the 2052 01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:19,000 Speaker 15: American people till four months later, August of twenty twenty one. 2053 01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:21,800 Speaker 15: And you know, I could go on and on about 2054 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:25,040 Speaker 15: the serious side effects and mortality, but the centerpiece of 2055 01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:29,599 Speaker 15: the Peiser documents is an attack on especially women's ability 2056 01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:32,280 Speaker 15: to get pregnant, to carry a baby, the term, to 2057 01:50:32,479 --> 01:50:36,320 Speaker 15: deliver healthy baby. And Peiser knew that the vaccine was 2058 01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:41,040 Speaker 15: causing catastrophic menstrual damage to women. They have charts showing 2059 01:50:41,520 --> 01:50:44,639 Speaker 15: tens of thousands of women in each category of menstrual damage. 2060 01:50:44,760 --> 01:50:48,519 Speaker 15: I totally calmly noted. And they knew that the the 2061 01:50:48,600 --> 01:50:53,880 Speaker 15: banoparticles accumulating the ovaries damage the placenta. They knew that 2062 01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:58,480 Speaker 15: babies were dying in utero due to their moms getting vaccinated. 2063 01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:03,760 Speaker 15: They describe to babies as dying due to transpercental exposure 2064 01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:09,120 Speaker 15: in the room. They knew that the lipidan particles made 2065 01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:13,880 Speaker 15: childbirth more dangerous. Maternal deaths are up forty percent because 2066 01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:17,800 Speaker 15: of compromised percentas. They knew that they were damaging creating 2067 01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:21,320 Speaker 15: a situation which babies couldn't breathe because there's an air 2068 01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:26,120 Speaker 15: pocket between their lungs and their chest walls. And this 2069 01:51:26,320 --> 01:51:29,240 Speaker 15: is what we're seeing, and there's a thirteen to twenty 2070 01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:33,519 Speaker 15: percent dropping live births two years after the confection rules out. 2071 01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:35,280 Speaker 1: And you know, just observe as we have to part 2072 01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:37,479 Speaker 1: company and I would talk to you for hours via 2073 01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:42,759 Speaker 1: the time, doctor Naomi wolf all the while our government 2074 01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:45,120 Speaker 1: is working with social media to prevent people from even 2075 01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:48,960 Speaker 1: having a discussion about these realities. Oh my word, this 2076 01:51:49,240 --> 01:51:52,000 Speaker 1: has got massive legs. I cannot thank you for the 2077 01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:53,800 Speaker 1: research that you and the rest of the folks who 2078 01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:56,439 Speaker 1: worked on war Room Daily Cloud Pfizer Documents. Will put 2079 01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:58,600 Speaker 1: a link to this so my listeners can get the 2080 01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,439 Speaker 1: studies in that book. Go to fifty five KRC dot 2081 01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:05,360 Speaker 1: com and read what is in there. It sounds absolutely shocking, 2082 01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:07,640 Speaker 1: Doctor Wolfe. I look forward to the time when you 2083 01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:09,240 Speaker 1: and I get to talk again. It has been a 2084 01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,040 Speaker 1: real pleasure having you on the program today. 2085 01:52:12,000 --> 01:52:13,519 Speaker 15: Thank you so much for having me on. 2086 01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate it, my pleasure. Eight forty fifty five carsit 2087 01:52:16,200 --> 01:52:20,040 Speaker 1: Detalk Station. My at least former cancer doctor doctor David Waterhouse, 2088 01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:26,360 Speaker 1: oh internationally recognize scientists. Given his background in vaccinations, of 2089 01:52:26,560 --> 01:52:29,439 Speaker 1: virology and the like. Doctor Malone is a real pleasure 2090 01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:31,400 Speaker 1: to have you on the fifty five cars morning to 2091 01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:33,240 Speaker 1: talk about your book and some of the revelations we've 2092 01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:36,000 Speaker 1: learned about the vaccine that was supposed to cure or 2093 01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:38,599 Speaker 1: prevent us from getting COVID and doesn't do that, nor 2094 01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:40,240 Speaker 1: does it prevent the spread. It's a good heavy on 2095 01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:42,240 Speaker 1: the fifty five krs Morning show. Sir, good morning. 2096 01:52:43,640 --> 01:52:46,479 Speaker 8: Well thanks a lot for that introduction. I agree with 2097 01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:51,760 Speaker 8: your statement at these products do not prevent infection, replication 2098 01:52:51,920 --> 01:52:53,760 Speaker 8: or spread at the virus. That's clear, all. 2099 01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:57,800 Speaker 1: Right, and that alone negates all of this. Do it 2100 01:52:57,920 --> 01:53:00,400 Speaker 1: for the rest of humanity? Argument that we were fed 2101 01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:02,679 Speaker 1: for a long time. You've got to get the vaccine. 2102 01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:04,120 Speaker 1: You got to get the vaccine. It's not for you, 2103 01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:07,040 Speaker 1: it's for everybody else, although it will reduce the severity 2104 01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:09,519 Speaker 1: of your COVID infection. Now, I had a very very 2105 01:53:09,600 --> 01:53:11,920 Speaker 1: bad COVID infection. I was out for about a month. 2106 01:53:13,040 --> 01:53:16,120 Speaker 1: This was before the vaccine was even available. But at 2107 01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:20,040 Speaker 1: my personal immunity levels, I had my tea to sell 2108 01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:23,280 Speaker 1: or my t tests done and I think an excess 2109 01:53:23,320 --> 01:53:25,479 Speaker 1: of fifty provided you with some immunity. Mine was at 2110 01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:28,400 Speaker 1: fourteen thousand, more than a year after I had COVID, 2111 01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:31,040 Speaker 1: so I felt like I had pretty darn good protection. 2112 01:53:31,200 --> 01:53:32,720 Speaker 1: But no, no, no, they're out there telling you the 2113 01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:35,000 Speaker 1: natural immunity is not as good as the vaccine. But 2114 01:53:35,160 --> 01:53:38,080 Speaker 1: then again, now they're telling us it is. This is 2115 01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:41,800 Speaker 1: why we question our government officials from time to time. Also, 2116 01:53:42,080 --> 01:53:46,439 Speaker 1: and more important, more importantly, sir, the risks associated with 2117 01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:50,160 Speaker 1: the vaccine emergency use authorization. As an attorney, you know, 2118 01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:52,320 Speaker 1: i'd like to know, thank you very much, what the 2119 01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:54,360 Speaker 1: risks are with the vaccine. We didn't get the list 2120 01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:56,760 Speaker 1: of instructions and the attendant risk because they didn't know. 2121 01:53:57,320 --> 01:53:59,400 Speaker 1: Now we're all big, one big guinea pig factory out 2122 01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:02,240 Speaker 1: here finding out that, yeah, there are risks associated with it. 2123 01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:07,240 Speaker 1: Did you know about these potential risk having invented this technology, doctor. 2124 01:54:08,320 --> 01:54:09,280 Speaker 6: No, there was. 2125 01:54:09,880 --> 01:54:13,880 Speaker 8: Remember I did my work back in nineteen eighty eight 2126 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:18,360 Speaker 8: to nineteen ninety one, was the main body of work 2127 01:54:18,680 --> 01:54:21,880 Speaker 8: that the nine patents were issued from, and then I 2128 01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:25,280 Speaker 8: continued working on it through the nineteen nineties with different 2129 01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:32,680 Speaker 8: formulations in various academic positions. I could never overcome the inflammation, 2130 01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:36,040 Speaker 8: which is the reason why I dropped the technology. In 2131 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:38,840 Speaker 8: addition to the fact that I was owned by Merk 2132 01:54:39,040 --> 01:54:42,040 Speaker 8: and they were very aggressive in ensuring that no one 2133 01:54:42,120 --> 01:54:45,880 Speaker 8: developed the technology, including myself. But there was no way 2134 01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:48,960 Speaker 8: to know that this was going to be used in 2135 01:54:49,040 --> 01:54:52,040 Speaker 8: this way and that the government was going to bypass 2136 01:54:52,240 --> 01:54:58,560 Speaker 8: all norms of clinical research, safety testing, pre clinical testing, 2137 01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:04,640 Speaker 8: and regulatory UH norms in terms of ensuring safety and effectiveness. 2138 01:55:05,240 --> 01:55:06,920 Speaker 8: There's no way to know that a lot of the 2139 01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:10,360 Speaker 8: toxicity is associated with the spike protein. And you can 2140 01:55:10,440 --> 01:55:13,520 Speaker 8: see that because all of these vaccines that contain spike 2141 01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:18,680 Speaker 8: have certain effects on blood clotting and myocarditis, for example, 2142 01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:22,880 Speaker 8: and seem to have similar effects on some of the 2143 01:55:22,920 --> 01:55:27,080 Speaker 8: brain function problems. But there are other toxicities that seem 2144 01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,360 Speaker 8: to be unique to the m R and A products, 2145 01:55:29,840 --> 01:55:33,520 Speaker 8: and they're in they're you know, positively charged fat formulations. 2146 01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:37,080 Speaker 1: Now, to the extent they continue using these, the emergency 2147 01:55:37,160 --> 01:55:39,880 Speaker 1: use authorization has to end at some point. They're free 2148 01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:44,040 Speaker 1: from any liability, so it doesn't, no, it doesn't doesn't. 2149 01:55:44,920 --> 01:55:47,000 Speaker 8: And that's one of the key things that people have 2150 01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:55,800 Speaker 8: gotten distracted about. They're dropping the UH declaration of medical emergency. 2151 01:55:55,880 --> 01:55:59,600 Speaker 8: The US government is under the Biden administration in the 2152 01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:03,560 Speaker 8: near future, but the authorization for emergency use comes under 2153 01:56:03,600 --> 01:56:06,800 Speaker 8: a separate statute and they haven't done anything about that. 2154 01:56:07,120 --> 01:56:12,320 Speaker 8: So currently the euas will continue. And it's fascinating that 2155 01:56:12,480 --> 01:56:17,320 Speaker 8: neither Piser nor More Donna will provide the actual licensed product. 2156 01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:19,480 Speaker 8: That was all a ploy on the part of the 2157 01:56:19,520 --> 01:56:23,920 Speaker 8: Biden administration to impose the mandates, but neither Piser no 2158 01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:28,680 Speaker 8: more Donner will provide those. Only the EUA product is 2159 01:56:28,880 --> 01:56:34,560 Speaker 8: available because of the various issues with liability and the 2160 01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:38,800 Speaker 8: requirements that they perform additional clinical trials, just like they 2161 01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:43,400 Speaker 8: were required to perform clinical trials and pregnancy, but they bypass. 2162 01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:47,560 Speaker 1: That frightening stuff and even maybe more frightening, equally frightening 2163 01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:55,000 Speaker 1: the alignment of government and media and doctor Fauci and 2164 01:56:55,440 --> 01:57:00,560 Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical companies lockstep saying this was this was absolutely necessary, 2165 01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:03,040 Speaker 1: and that it was aoka for you to be fired 2166 01:57:03,080 --> 01:57:05,440 Speaker 1: from your job for not taking this drug. How is 2167 01:57:05,520 --> 01:57:08,880 Speaker 1: it that they all collectively got together and even censored you. 2168 01:57:09,040 --> 01:57:10,960 Speaker 1: You were the inventor of this, and they just they 2169 01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:15,280 Speaker 1: completely censored you and and smeared you when you're one 2170 01:57:15,280 --> 01:57:19,160 Speaker 1: of the most authoritative individuals on this Why is there 2171 01:57:19,200 --> 01:57:21,760 Speaker 1: a Why is there an answer to that? Out there, sir, 2172 01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:24,880 Speaker 1: what we know right. 2173 01:57:24,840 --> 01:57:26,840 Speaker 8: Now, And I don't want to speculate about what was 2174 01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:29,440 Speaker 8: going on in people's minds because I'm not a mind reader. 2175 01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:33,120 Speaker 8: But we can see the artifacts, the documents and the 2176 01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:35,760 Speaker 8: paper trails from what they've done, and for instance, we 2177 01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:38,240 Speaker 8: can see that in the Twitter files, and we can 2178 01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:41,800 Speaker 8: see it in the Attorney General's State attorney General's lawsuit 2179 01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:45,560 Speaker 8: against Google and the US government. It's very clear that 2180 01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:51,000 Speaker 8: the government took a position that was really first developed 2181 01:57:51,120 --> 01:57:57,760 Speaker 8: or certainly advanced during the Event two one that was 2182 01:57:57,840 --> 01:58:01,600 Speaker 8: held in the fall of twenty nineteen, sponsored by Bill 2183 01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:05,560 Speaker 8: Gates and the WEF, in which they decided that they 2184 01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:11,000 Speaker 8: were going to do this really extreme propaganda effort under 2185 01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:14,000 Speaker 8: the thesis that they would have a safe and effective 2186 01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:17,120 Speaker 8: vaccine and that there would be no drugs that would 2187 01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:19,840 Speaker 8: be effective, and that the virus would be highly lethal. 2188 01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:23,280 Speaker 8: Those are their assumptions, and they just marched forward based 2189 01:58:23,320 --> 01:58:26,200 Speaker 8: on that and said, well, to protect the public, we're 2190 01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:29,960 Speaker 8: going to have to shut down and censor people that 2191 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:34,560 Speaker 8: say anything that might cause quote vaccine hesitancy, whether or 2192 01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:37,800 Speaker 8: not it's true. And so that was the rationale, was 2193 01:58:37,920 --> 01:58:40,840 Speaker 8: that for our own good, we had to be protected 2194 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:44,680 Speaker 8: from information because it might lead us to not take 2195 01:58:44,720 --> 01:58:48,120 Speaker 8: a product that turns out was neither safe nor effective. 2196 01:58:49,120 --> 01:58:52,120 Speaker 1: It's a cosmic gambles what they rolled the dice on. 2197 01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:54,440 Speaker 1: It seems the other component of it is. And I 2198 01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:57,480 Speaker 1: thought this was an offense to all practitioners of medicine, 2199 01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:01,040 Speaker 1: the idea that you can diagnose and be diagnostician for 2200 01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:04,240 Speaker 1: your patient and prescribe medications that you believe would be 2201 01:59:04,240 --> 01:59:06,680 Speaker 1: effective in dealing with the underlying problem. In this case 2202 01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:10,920 Speaker 1: the symptoms of COVID. Some were terrible for some and 2203 01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:13,800 Speaker 1: some were really light for others. But ivermectin came out 2204 01:59:13,840 --> 01:59:17,240 Speaker 1: really early as a potential use, and yet it will 2205 01:59:17,280 --> 01:59:19,800 Speaker 1: be an off label use. So they criticized even the 2206 01:59:20,120 --> 01:59:23,160 Speaker 1: consideration of that in the face of sound medical literature 2207 01:59:23,240 --> 01:59:24,160 Speaker 1: that it worked. 2208 01:59:25,800 --> 01:59:30,720 Speaker 8: Ivermectin and hydroxy chloroquine, and hydroxy chloroquine was even identified 2209 01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:34,280 Speaker 8: by a paper by Tony Fauci a few years ago 2210 01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:38,920 Speaker 8: before this outbreak as effective against stars I, which is 2211 01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:43,600 Speaker 8: closely related. So there's a whole lot of questions. Of course, 2212 01:59:44,240 --> 01:59:46,400 Speaker 8: the President of the United States, whatever you think of 2213 01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:49,840 Speaker 8: mister Trump, the President of the United States, directed that 2214 01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:56,800 Speaker 8: hydroxy chloroquine be made available, and Peter Navarro went to 2215 01:59:56,920 --> 02:00:01,120 Speaker 8: great links to secure enough drug supply, and Janet Woodcock 2216 02:00:01,280 --> 02:00:06,600 Speaker 8: at FDA and Rick Bright at BARTA basically colluded to 2217 02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:11,240 Speaker 8: circumvent the will and decision of the President of the 2218 02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:14,680 Speaker 8: United States through various bureaucratic shenanigans. 2219 02:00:15,160 --> 02:00:18,240 Speaker 1: And that was purely political, but it also was and 2220 02:00:18,440 --> 02:00:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm certainly a financial motivation, because of course, the pharmaceutical 2221 02:00:22,280 --> 02:00:25,160 Speaker 1: companies end up making billions of dollars off of this, 2222 02:00:25,400 --> 02:00:28,040 Speaker 1: because you're not allowed to rely on something else that 2223 02:00:28,200 --> 02:00:30,480 Speaker 1: might have been equally effective in reducing your symptoms. 2224 02:00:32,040 --> 02:00:34,800 Speaker 8: So to that point, the article we're writing right now 2225 02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:38,280 Speaker 8: for today involves the current director of the Center for 2226 02:00:38,440 --> 02:00:41,640 Speaker 8: Drug Evaluation and Research, who has been put in that 2227 02:00:41,800 --> 02:00:45,160 Speaker 8: place to replace Janet Woodcock. She was put in there 2228 02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:48,360 Speaker 8: by Scott Gottlieb, who then left and went to Pfizer, 2229 02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:52,600 Speaker 8: and she had previously been a senior Pfizer executive. She's 2230 02:00:52,640 --> 02:00:56,000 Speaker 8: a Canadian, and she was advanced through the FDA ranks 2231 02:00:56,120 --> 02:00:59,320 Speaker 8: unusually quickly to the point now where she's one of 2232 02:00:59,440 --> 02:01:03,360 Speaker 8: the most powerful people in the FDA right now, and 2233 02:01:03,640 --> 02:01:06,640 Speaker 8: she is all in a phisor I mean, the corruption 2234 02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:13,600 Speaker 8: here and the revolving door is deep, well documented, readily acknowledged. 2235 02:01:13,640 --> 02:01:19,640 Speaker 8: You'll remember the project Veritus honey Trap, in which this 2236 02:01:20,040 --> 02:01:23,840 Speaker 8: revolving door was directly acknowledged by a senior a Pfizer executive. 2237 02:01:25,160 --> 02:01:29,280 Speaker 8: And we have a deep problem right now with the 2238 02:01:29,360 --> 02:01:33,080 Speaker 8: compromise of our government and the administrative state by the 2239 02:01:33,160 --> 02:01:38,000 Speaker 8: interests of large corporations. It's not just Pharma, it's Boeing, 2240 02:01:38,640 --> 02:01:46,440 Speaker 8: it's Monsano, it's all these big corporations compromising the independence 2241 02:01:46,680 --> 02:01:49,800 Speaker 8: of the agencies that are supposed to be regulating them. 2242 02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,720 Speaker 1: And over whom the agencies have a tremendous amount of 2243 02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:56,640 Speaker 1: control over their future. So by working with them and 2244 02:01:57,240 --> 02:01:59,600 Speaker 1: caving to the will of government, you maybe avoid a 2245 02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:01,320 Speaker 1: compleat c and sought it, or you may be more 2246 02:02:01,480 --> 02:02:03,760 Speaker 1: likely to get a grant or some other favor curried 2247 02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:06,920 Speaker 1: by government. So don't buck the system. Is that where 2248 02:02:06,960 --> 02:02:07,200 Speaker 1: we are. 2249 02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:11,200 Speaker 8: It is, and it's actually where we've been for a 2250 02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:13,880 Speaker 8: long time. It's just that the last the stress on 2251 02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:16,400 Speaker 8: the system over the last three years has revealed it 2252 02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:20,120 Speaker 8: to a lot of people that were previously ignorant. And 2253 02:02:20,400 --> 02:02:23,080 Speaker 8: I got to admit I thought I really understood a 2254 02:02:23,160 --> 02:02:26,320 Speaker 8: lot of this and what was going on. And when 2255 02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:29,200 Speaker 8: I read Bobby Kennedy's book The Real Anthony Fauci, I 2256 02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:32,960 Speaker 8: was depressed for three weeks. I realized that I only 2257 02:02:33,040 --> 02:02:38,040 Speaker 8: knew a fraction of it. Everything is siloed, compartmentalized, so 2258 02:02:38,200 --> 02:02:42,160 Speaker 8: that people aren't really aware of how corrupted things are, 2259 02:02:43,640 --> 02:02:48,280 Speaker 8: because there's very few people that see across the government horizontally. 2260 02:02:48,480 --> 02:02:51,160 Speaker 8: They just see their own individual silos and they go 2261 02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:52,320 Speaker 8: about their daily job. 2262 02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:55,560 Speaker 1: I can certainly understand that lies my government told me. 2263 02:02:55,640 --> 02:02:58,600 Speaker 1: And the Better Future Coming by my guest today, doctor 2264 02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Robert Malone, the second part of the title, and the 2265 02:03:02,320 --> 02:03:05,920 Speaker 1: Better Future Coming, What can we do about it? Obviously 2266 02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:08,080 Speaker 1: there's a little optimism built into the title of your book. 2267 02:03:08,160 --> 02:03:10,600 Speaker 1: So can you offer some words of encouragement before we part? 2268 02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:12,960 Speaker 1: Come today, doctor Yeah. 2269 02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:15,960 Speaker 8: So one of the practical things that everybody can do 2270 02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:20,520 Speaker 8: is work towards a more decentralized future. There are all 2271 02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:24,200 Speaker 8: kinds of forces that are driving us towards a kind 2272 02:03:24,200 --> 02:03:30,000 Speaker 8: of a global world government set up, and there are 2273 02:03:30,040 --> 02:03:33,440 Speaker 8: many ways we can oppose those forces and work towards 2274 02:03:33,520 --> 02:03:37,440 Speaker 8: a decentralized future, which is what George Orwell believed was 2275 02:03:37,480 --> 02:03:39,760 Speaker 8: the only way out of that dark future that he 2276 02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:43,920 Speaker 8: envisioned in nineteen eighty four. And one of the things 2277 02:03:44,040 --> 02:03:48,200 Speaker 8: we can do here is you cannot be a victim. 2278 02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:49,280 Speaker 7: Be a warrior. 2279 02:03:49,880 --> 02:03:54,959 Speaker 8: Learn how fifth generation warfare works. Understand the term, Understand 2280 02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:58,000 Speaker 8: the propaganda that's been deployed on all of us. And 2281 02:03:58,080 --> 02:04:00,720 Speaker 8: as soon as you do that, you become or resistant 2282 02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:03,000 Speaker 8: to it. You can see through it, and then you 2283 02:04:03,120 --> 02:04:07,680 Speaker 8: can start to act in the grocery line and on 2284 02:04:07,800 --> 02:04:10,520 Speaker 8: social media in all kinds of ways. This is a 2285 02:04:10,600 --> 02:04:12,919 Speaker 8: new era where people can be empowered. 2286 02:04:13,480 --> 02:04:15,840 Speaker 1: I appreciate that optimism. That's what my morning show is 2287 02:04:15,840 --> 02:04:17,440 Speaker 1: all about, you know. And you have to learn not 2288 02:04:17,600 --> 02:04:21,280 Speaker 1: to care if someone is online smearing you, you know what, 2289 02:04:21,440 --> 02:04:23,240 Speaker 1: you can rise above that and ignore them. You know 2290 02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:26,400 Speaker 1: what opinions are like, doctor, everybody's got one. It's been 2291 02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:30,120 Speaker 1: a real pleasure. Keep fighting the good fight, doctor Malone. 2292 02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:31,839 Speaker 1: It's a great having you on. I'm going to encourage 2293 02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:33,440 Speaker 1: my listeners to buy a copy of your book, which 2294 02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:35,840 Speaker 1: will be easily available at fifty five carec dot com, 2295 02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:38,960 Speaker 1: Share it with your friends and speak truth to power. 2296 02:04:39,680 --> 02:04:42,040 Speaker 1: Robert Malone, thank you for your time today, and thanks 2297 02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:44,520 Speaker 1: for doing exactly that and speaking truth to power. 2298 02:04:45,600 --> 02:04:47,680 Speaker 8: Thank you, sir, Thanks for your time too, and. 2299 02:04:48,320 --> 02:04:50,240 Speaker 1: Thanking from the bottom of my art for agreeing to 2300 02:04:50,240 --> 02:04:51,920 Speaker 1: come on the fifty five Percy Morning Show. You see 2301 02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:56,760 Speaker 1: Professor biological Science, doctor Joseph Benoit, doctor Benoir, thank you 2302 02:04:56,880 --> 02:04:58,600 Speaker 1: for coming in the program. I found out about this 2303 02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:04,760 Speaker 1: crazy alpha gal syndrome yesterday apparently transmitted by lone star tics, 2304 02:05:04,880 --> 02:05:07,280 Speaker 1: which we do have in the state of Ohio. There's 2305 02:05:07,320 --> 02:05:10,640 Speaker 1: a big outbreak in Virginia of this syndrome, which is 2306 02:05:10,760 --> 02:05:13,920 Speaker 1: referred to as a meat allergy that's contracted through tick 2307 02:05:14,040 --> 02:05:16,640 Speaker 1: bites and apparently can be life threatening. We had some 2308 02:05:16,760 --> 02:05:19,360 Speaker 1: listeners calling after I brought this subject up and said, oh, 2309 02:05:19,440 --> 02:05:22,160 Speaker 1: I know some people who have this. It's horrific. They 2310 02:05:22,200 --> 02:05:24,840 Speaker 1: haven't been able to eat meat in years. Welcome to 2311 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:27,280 Speaker 1: the program, doctor, it's great having you on. Were you 2312 02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:29,680 Speaker 1: Are you familiar? You're familiar with this? 2313 02:05:29,840 --> 02:05:33,360 Speaker 14: Eh, yeah, I'm familiar with it. It's actually a pretty 2314 02:05:33,400 --> 02:05:36,720 Speaker 14: common it's actually not a disease. Rather, it's just an 2315 02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:42,160 Speaker 14: allergy to the ticks themselves. And what will happen with 2316 02:05:42,280 --> 02:05:45,680 Speaker 14: it is pretty much they have the moment star tics 2317 02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:50,240 Speaker 14: have sugars and other molecules in their spit. And what 2318 02:05:50,320 --> 02:05:53,560 Speaker 14: will happen is people get a bit by a tick. 2319 02:05:54,080 --> 02:05:56,440 Speaker 14: Your bit for four or five six days exposed a 2320 02:05:56,480 --> 02:05:58,960 Speaker 14: lot of it, and then that caused you to be 2321 02:05:59,040 --> 02:06:03,720 Speaker 14: allergic to these specific sugar molecules, and that's pretty much 2322 02:06:03,720 --> 02:06:06,440 Speaker 14: what happens, and so it could be pretty dangerous later 2323 02:06:06,520 --> 02:06:09,000 Speaker 14: on if you're exposed again. And a lot of these 2324 02:06:09,040 --> 02:06:12,360 Speaker 14: sugars are just found in meat types, so pretty much 2325 02:06:12,360 --> 02:06:17,600 Speaker 14: any red meat. But then like fish, reptiles, birds, like chicken, 2326 02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:18,839 Speaker 14: you're fine to eat. 2327 02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:24,240 Speaker 1: Well. So your body's immune response is to attack the 2328 02:06:24,400 --> 02:06:28,600 Speaker 1: tick venom or the tick saliva, but it can't determine 2329 02:06:28,600 --> 02:06:31,920 Speaker 1: the difference between the meat you eat and that particular 2330 02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:35,680 Speaker 1: immune response. So it's launching an immune response for something 2331 02:06:35,760 --> 02:06:38,480 Speaker 1: that your body shouldn't launch an immune response over. 2332 02:06:40,200 --> 02:06:43,720 Speaker 14: Yeah, that's exactly what it is. You could also get it. 2333 02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:48,520 Speaker 14: So some people just develop it just normally, like not normally, 2334 02:06:48,680 --> 02:06:52,280 Speaker 14: but just they'll eat meat, they'll develop an allergy to it, 2335 02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:56,680 Speaker 14: and it happens in but that's a lot that's very rare, 2336 02:06:57,280 --> 02:07:02,040 Speaker 14: and it just really with this tick. It's these alpha 2337 02:07:02,080 --> 02:07:05,120 Speaker 14: galle molecules. They expose you to so many of them, 2338 02:07:05,640 --> 02:07:07,920 Speaker 14: then from that point on your body thinks that it's 2339 02:07:08,040 --> 02:07:12,160 Speaker 14: actually you're being invaded, either by a pathogen or some 2340 02:07:12,360 --> 02:07:14,880 Speaker 14: sort of foreign body. So you end up with this 2341 02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:18,880 Speaker 14: this prolonged and reaction, and once you get it, there's 2342 02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:19,760 Speaker 14: really no way to. 2343 02:07:19,800 --> 02:07:20,400 Speaker 9: Turn it around. 2344 02:07:21,960 --> 02:07:25,680 Speaker 1: Oh my, now is it? Can you get it from 2345 02:07:25,840 --> 02:07:28,280 Speaker 1: any lone star tick or is there only certain of 2346 02:07:28,320 --> 02:07:31,240 Speaker 1: them that carry it? Like lime disease for example. My 2347 02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:34,200 Speaker 1: understanding is not all ticks carry lime disease, but some do. 2348 02:07:35,080 --> 02:07:39,480 Speaker 1: Is this it's just the saliva that this particular tick has, 2349 02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:44,280 Speaker 1: or has the tick itself contracted this or otherwise carried 2350 02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:46,640 Speaker 1: this that not all lone star ticks carry. 2351 02:07:48,200 --> 02:07:48,240 Speaker 8: No. 2352 02:07:48,520 --> 02:07:53,040 Speaker 14: It seems to really just be the actual tick itself. 2353 02:07:54,120 --> 02:07:56,400 Speaker 14: But even if you get bitten by it, it doesn't 2354 02:07:56,400 --> 02:07:58,680 Speaker 14: as I have actually been personally bitten by lone star 2355 02:07:58,760 --> 02:08:03,240 Speaker 14: ticks before, don't have the syndrome. So it's you can 2356 02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:05,680 Speaker 14: still be bit by the ticks and not develop it. 2357 02:08:06,160 --> 02:08:09,480 Speaker 14: It's just you have to have kind of the right 2358 02:08:09,640 --> 02:08:12,840 Speaker 14: genetics be bitten by the tick. And they think there's 2359 02:08:12,880 --> 02:08:19,160 Speaker 14: some population effects potentially where certain groups of loan startics 2360 02:08:19,880 --> 02:08:23,480 Speaker 14: are likely more likely to cause this alpha gal syndrome. 2361 02:08:23,840 --> 02:08:26,480 Speaker 14: So it's really not it's not just any loan startics, 2362 02:08:26,560 --> 02:08:30,240 Speaker 14: but it's maybe certain populations of loan startics, and then 2363 02:08:30,280 --> 02:08:33,160 Speaker 14: they have to bite and feed on the right people 2364 02:08:33,480 --> 02:08:35,120 Speaker 14: in order for them to develop this syndrome. 2365 02:08:35,520 --> 02:08:39,000 Speaker 1: Okay, now what what type of allergic reaction are people 2366 02:08:39,080 --> 02:08:41,680 Speaker 1: going to have if this if they if they're afflicted 2367 02:08:41,720 --> 02:08:42,880 Speaker 1: with alpha gal syndrome. 2368 02:08:44,880 --> 02:08:47,400 Speaker 14: Oh, I mean mainly just think like when you start 2369 02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:51,720 Speaker 14: thinking of people with like that full bore immune reaction, 2370 02:08:51,960 --> 02:08:54,840 Speaker 14: like when they're allergic to anything. I mean we're talking, 2371 02:08:54,960 --> 02:08:59,040 Speaker 14: you'll get hives, you'll get itchy, you'll get rashy, there'll 2372 02:08:59,080 --> 02:09:02,200 Speaker 14: be some like not because mainly the next time is 2373 02:09:02,240 --> 02:09:04,880 Speaker 14: when you eat it, and so you'll get a reaction 2374 02:09:05,040 --> 02:09:08,360 Speaker 14: with your stomach where you'll get nausea, vomiting, you can 2375 02:09:08,480 --> 02:09:13,240 Speaker 14: drop in like blood pressure, dizziness, and so really just 2376 02:09:13,360 --> 02:09:18,520 Speaker 14: think of a very severe immune reaction with some abdominal 2377 02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:20,920 Speaker 14: issues as well, after you've eaten the red meat, and 2378 02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:24,320 Speaker 14: usually it's about two to six hours after that, and 2379 02:09:25,000 --> 02:09:28,000 Speaker 14: even some people can after you've consumed it, and even 2380 02:09:28,080 --> 02:09:31,840 Speaker 14: for some people's cases, it can even extend to like 2381 02:09:32,040 --> 02:09:35,440 Speaker 14: dairy products as well, and so you're pretty much eliminated 2382 02:09:35,480 --> 02:09:39,280 Speaker 14: from red wheat meat and some dairy products. And then 2383 02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:42,040 Speaker 14: you even have to worry about it. And they've gotten 2384 02:09:42,080 --> 02:09:44,160 Speaker 14: rid of a lot of these because of this. But 2385 02:09:44,360 --> 02:09:47,720 Speaker 14: there's some sort of like there's some coatings on medication 2386 02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:50,560 Speaker 14: and those sort of things that are also based off 2387 02:09:50,640 --> 02:09:54,360 Speaker 14: this alpha gl molecule, So then you have to watch 2388 02:09:54,400 --> 02:09:56,880 Speaker 14: a little bit for that. So it's and really like, 2389 02:09:57,440 --> 02:10:01,000 Speaker 14: even if you develop it, it can range from like 2390 02:10:01,040 --> 02:10:05,240 Speaker 14: a mild effect to life threatening. But what will happened 2391 02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:08,000 Speaker 14: with a lot of people, say you develop it, your 2392 02:10:08,080 --> 02:10:12,080 Speaker 14: first reactions are mild and people will just like keep 2393 02:10:12,160 --> 02:10:14,440 Speaker 14: eating the meat and right sort of thing, and that 2394 02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:15,240 Speaker 14: it can get worse. 2395 02:10:16,160 --> 02:10:18,880 Speaker 1: Oh wonderful, because I personally would want to live in 2396 02:10:18,920 --> 02:10:21,040 Speaker 1: a state of denial that the meat that I'm eating 2397 02:10:21,120 --> 02:10:23,400 Speaker 1: has anything to do with my health. But here you 2398 02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:26,200 Speaker 1: have this terrible condition and I happen to like a 2399 02:10:26,240 --> 02:10:28,760 Speaker 1: bacon cheeseburger from time to time, doctor, and I can't 2400 02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:31,760 Speaker 1: imagine life without all of these wonderful things that you 2401 02:10:31,840 --> 02:10:34,560 Speaker 1: refer to, which we might be prohibited from eating real quickly, 2402 02:10:34,640 --> 02:10:37,520 Speaker 1: for we part company. If someone believes they have this 2403 02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:39,320 Speaker 1: or has been bent by a lone star tike and 2404 02:10:39,360 --> 02:10:42,120 Speaker 1: starts developing these symptoms, I seek medical attention. You said 2405 02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:44,720 Speaker 1: there's no cure for it, But what's your recommendation for 2406 02:10:44,840 --> 02:10:47,560 Speaker 1: listeners who might might be experiencing this? 2407 02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:50,760 Speaker 14: I mean what I would do I was a go 2408 02:10:51,040 --> 02:10:55,160 Speaker 14: to the doctor. You're probably going to have to change 2409 02:10:55,160 --> 02:10:57,280 Speaker 14: your diet. You're probably really going to have to stop 2410 02:10:57,360 --> 02:11:03,480 Speaker 14: eating mammal meat, to be honest, beef, pork, lamb, rabbit, 2411 02:11:04,120 --> 02:11:08,160 Speaker 14: and depind on your level of severity, you may even 2412 02:11:08,240 --> 02:11:12,800 Speaker 14: have to avoid milk products as well. And then there's 2413 02:11:12,880 --> 02:11:17,720 Speaker 14: really like some people will like even have reaction to 2414 02:11:17,880 --> 02:11:21,360 Speaker 14: some other like drugs, and so you should just talk 2415 02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:23,600 Speaker 14: to your doctor. You'll probably if it ends up severe, 2416 02:11:24,120 --> 02:11:27,680 Speaker 14: you're probably going to have to have a massive lifestyle 2417 02:11:27,840 --> 02:11:32,960 Speaker 14: change that focuses on avoiding red meat products the rest 2418 02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:33,440 Speaker 14: of your life. 2419 02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:35,839 Speaker 1: Well, one of the listeners that called in yesterday doctors 2420 02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:39,200 Speaker 1: said that the person who they knew had this alpha 2421 02:11:39,280 --> 02:11:42,280 Speaker 1: Gole syndrome couldn't be even in the room where meat 2422 02:11:42,440 --> 02:11:45,520 Speaker 1: was being prepared. The the I guess the fats or 2423 02:11:45,560 --> 02:11:48,040 Speaker 1: whatever the got into the air. She would react to 2424 02:11:48,120 --> 02:11:50,960 Speaker 1: those in the same way, does that sound like something 2425 02:11:51,000 --> 02:11:53,080 Speaker 1: you've heard before of experienced before in your practice. 2426 02:11:54,440 --> 02:11:58,200 Speaker 14: That is like the rarest of the rare situations I've 2427 02:11:58,240 --> 02:12:01,480 Speaker 14: heard on. That would be like you get the example 2428 02:12:01,560 --> 02:12:04,160 Speaker 14: of the kids of pena allergies. Yeah, when they have 2429 02:12:04,280 --> 02:12:07,120 Speaker 14: the pena allergies to the point where like they can't 2430 02:12:07,160 --> 02:12:11,200 Speaker 14: even be like if anybody in the cafeteria has a 2431 02:12:11,280 --> 02:12:15,120 Speaker 14: peanut butter product or a nut product, that they can't 2432 02:12:15,160 --> 02:12:18,320 Speaker 14: be in the same room. So that's like the rarest 2433 02:12:18,400 --> 02:12:21,440 Speaker 14: of the case. Usually most of them never developed that far. 2434 02:12:22,080 --> 02:12:26,280 Speaker 14: Most of them. It's it's an ingestion contact based allergy. 2435 02:12:27,000 --> 02:12:28,720 Speaker 14: But you got to also keep mine when some people 2436 02:12:28,840 --> 02:12:30,560 Speaker 14: a lot of times are preparing me and that sort 2437 02:12:30,560 --> 02:12:34,360 Speaker 14: of thing, they're cutting it. There's maybe people aren't washing 2438 02:12:34,400 --> 02:12:36,880 Speaker 14: their hands. They may also even be touching places too 2439 02:12:37,680 --> 02:12:42,160 Speaker 14: that and people are always quite careful, and so it's 2440 02:12:42,600 --> 02:12:45,680 Speaker 14: I would say, it's it's an ingestion effect and that's 2441 02:12:45,760 --> 02:12:48,480 Speaker 14: really where you want to make sure to avoid it 2442 02:12:48,560 --> 02:12:49,680 Speaker 14: if you end up with the syndrome. 2443 02:12:49,800 --> 02:12:52,600 Speaker 1: All right, And since it sounds like in some cases 2444 02:12:52,600 --> 02:12:55,440 Speaker 1: anaphyactic shock, is there an EpiPen or anything like that 2445 02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:57,960 Speaker 1: out there that would relieve some of the more serious 2446 02:12:57,960 --> 02:13:00,480 Speaker 1: symptoms to the extent that are severe sufferer out there. 2447 02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:04,360 Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean, it's if you end up with this, 2448 02:13:04,600 --> 02:13:07,600 Speaker 14: you'll end up probably carrying an EpiPen, just like you 2449 02:13:07,640 --> 02:13:10,240 Speaker 14: would have a severe or allergic reaction, Like I am 2450 02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:14,320 Speaker 14: extremely allergic to bees. I carry EpiPen when with me, 2451 02:13:14,800 --> 02:13:17,280 Speaker 14: when I run and those sort of things. But this 2452 02:13:17,480 --> 02:13:19,000 Speaker 14: is one of those syndrome that if you end up 2453 02:13:19,040 --> 02:13:22,280 Speaker 14: developing it, you probably maybe you want to have an 2454 02:13:22,320 --> 02:13:25,120 Speaker 14: EpiPen or some sort of treatment be ready if you 2455 02:13:25,200 --> 02:13:29,320 Speaker 14: got to dinner or any of those places, because you 2456 02:13:29,600 --> 02:13:33,640 Speaker 14: usually have to tell them to not cross contaminate red 2457 02:13:33,720 --> 02:13:36,760 Speaker 14: meat products, whether there cooking the fish in those aspects. 2458 02:13:36,840 --> 02:13:39,040 Speaker 14: But it's, yeah, it's you'd have to worry about it 2459 02:13:39,240 --> 02:13:41,400 Speaker 14: as similarly to any allergy. 2460 02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:46,080 Speaker 1: Doctor Joshuna, you see, professor of biological science. I truly 2461 02:13:46,160 --> 02:13:47,720 Speaker 1: thank you for your willingness to come on the program 2462 02:13:47,800 --> 02:13:50,360 Speaker 1: to talk about this, because quite honestly, when I heard 2463 02:13:50,400 --> 02:13:53,000 Speaker 1: about it first, I'm thinking, no life without meat now, 2464 02:13:53,280 --> 02:13:55,840 Speaker 1: please Dear God, so stay the hell away from lone 2465 02:13:55,880 --> 02:13:58,200 Speaker 1: star ticks. I mean, there's no real way to avoid 2466 02:13:58,240 --> 02:14:00,880 Speaker 1: them other than just the normal precautions. Presume, like say, 2467 02:14:00,920 --> 02:14:03,040 Speaker 1: we're bright clothing so you can see the tics and 2468 02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:05,440 Speaker 1: make sure you're you know, pant legs are tucked in 2469 02:14:05,600 --> 02:14:08,360 Speaker 1: and you're searching yourself, if you know, looking for ticks 2470 02:14:08,400 --> 02:14:10,160 Speaker 1: after you've been working in the yard, that kind of thing. 2471 02:14:10,280 --> 02:14:12,560 Speaker 1: Other than that, it's like nature's crapshoot, isn't it. 2472 02:14:13,880 --> 02:14:17,800 Speaker 14: Yeah, and be and permetering to work well as repellents. 2473 02:14:18,240 --> 02:14:22,120 Speaker 14: And luckily, at least within this area, the Sinte area, 2474 02:14:22,960 --> 02:14:26,040 Speaker 14: we don't have a lot of loans arctics in this area. 2475 02:14:26,240 --> 02:14:28,680 Speaker 14: Good they're beginning to be. We're starting to see them 2476 02:14:28,880 --> 02:14:31,280 Speaker 14: a little bit into this area with some climate change. 2477 02:14:31,960 --> 02:14:34,520 Speaker 14: But it's at least right now we're limited to Gulf 2478 02:14:34,640 --> 02:14:38,360 Speaker 14: Coast dog ticks, some black leged ticcks on the east 2479 02:14:38,400 --> 02:14:41,960 Speaker 14: side of Cincinnati, but so in this area year. But 2480 02:14:42,080 --> 02:14:45,040 Speaker 14: as you get to like the southeast area and then 2481 02:14:45,160 --> 02:14:48,160 Speaker 14: while even in the northeast, the loan's artics will become 2482 02:14:48,240 --> 02:14:52,240 Speaker 14: much more prevalent. And so really spared this a little 2483 02:14:52,280 --> 02:14:54,680 Speaker 14: bit right now, but that could change over the next 2484 02:14:54,720 --> 02:14:55,160 Speaker 14: few years. 2485 02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:58,440 Speaker 1: Okay, well not all great news, but hey, you got 2486 02:14:58,560 --> 02:15:00,920 Speaker 1: to know the information to be in and know what 2487 02:15:01,000 --> 02:15:02,680 Speaker 1: to do in the aftermath.

Your credentials are wonderful. 2489 02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm staring at your CV right now. Insects, stress tolerance, 2490 02:15:11,040 --> 02:15:19,640 Speaker 1: ormonal regulation, metabolism, reproductive physiology, molecular physiology, transcript transcript domics. 2491 02:15:20,000 --> 02:15:21,840 Speaker 1: Someday we're gonna have to have a conversation about what 2492 02:15:21,960 --> 02:15:24,640 Speaker 1: that is. Doctor, appreciate your learned opinion today on the 2493 02:15:24,640 --> 02:15:26,920 Speaker 1: fifty five KRC Morning Show.
