WEBVTT - 12-3-25 Ken Broo in for Willie 0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:10.000 All right. 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:15.239 The strange of George thorough Goods electric guitar can only 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.520 mean one thing, and that means it will He's out 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:21.279 and I'm in. It's the average American in for the 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.599 great American on this Chile Wednesday. Great to have you 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.560 with us as always, And I don't say that capriciously, 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.680 for without you, what would I be? I would be 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.320 one man sitting in a room babbling incoherently to himself. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.680 And why would I have to leave home to do that? 0:00:36.560 --> 0:00:36.640 Now? 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:38.880 There's a lot going on here locally, a lot going 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:41.519 on in the world. Answer me this. How could a 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:46.320 man drive from Washington State all the way across country 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:52.360 to Washington, Washington, d C. And then allegedly shoot two 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:56.160 National guardsmen? And is this not a warning sign, a 0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:01.080 red flag deluxe for the federal government. Maybe what happened 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.440 in Washington, d C. Is not going to be an 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.679 isolated instance. We hear all these stories about all of 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.960 these foreign nationals that are in our country, either legally 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.880 or illegally, And in this case, this Afghan was in 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:18.440 this country legally. He was brought in under the auspices 0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:22.399 of Joe Biden's administration and then turned loose on the 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:26.360 streets of the United States and the highways that led 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:31.000 allegedly from Washington to Washington, d C. How did that happen? 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:35.520 And are the people that helped us in Afghanistan Afghanistan 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.680 all those many years, are they truly trustworthy? Regardless of 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.000 what we have heard, There was absolutely no vetting Gune, 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.880 despite what the national media would have you believe. But 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.720 standing by to join us as somebody who is a 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:57.080 former CIA officer, a veteran of the conconventional warfare side 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.600 of the United States Special Operations Command, what does that mean? 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.840 Means he worked under the cover of darkness. He worked 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.040 under the cover of what was going on militarily in 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.079 Afghanistan and worked alongside a lot of the Afghan nationals 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:17.280 that were helping us. But does that help extend past 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.959 the time that the United States was over in Afghanistan? 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.959 And if so, does it extend peacefully? I speak of 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.960 a man by the name of Adam Hartage. He is 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.880 the author of the book The Alpha Blueprint, Preparing the 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:33.040 Next Generation for an AI Future. And it's great to 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.919 have Adam Hartage back on the show Whether Us again. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.760 At Adam Hartich, how are you on this glorious Wednesday. 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:41.000 I'm great, can thanks for having me on. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:45.240 Appreciate it, you bet, you bet. Now, by and large, 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:49.200 what the CIA needs from operatives in a country when 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.040 they're in there trying to fight a war or win 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.560 a war, whatever it may be, compared to what those 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:59.120 particular assets will do when they arrive in another country 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.720 like ours, are two different things. You worked alongside a 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.760 lot of these folks that are considered to be quote 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:09.679 unquote wartime surrogates by at large, What was the trustworthiness 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.880 of these people you worked alongside? 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.800 You know, I'll give you the my my most honest 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.799 answer that I can in the sense that it's all 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.480 very much colored by my perception, my perspective when I 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:24.119 was there. 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.640 And I'm not saying it's the caveat. 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.400 I think I just want to actually have. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.120 A real conversation about this. So you know, at the 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:36.120 time during the war, these guys are literally fighting for 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:37.560 their lives every single day. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.640 The trustworthiness factor is extremely. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:46.760 High because you'll be working alongside them, fighting alongside them sometimes. 0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:49.920 And then as well, you're talking about guys who you know, 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.720 they they've got you know, they've got just as many 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.480 bullets in their gun as you do, you know, and 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.880 so to work together, especially in a small unit like that, 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.200 at the trustworthy in factor has to be extremely high. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:05.920 So first off, when we left Afghanistan, there was no 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.640 vetting of anything of anyone. I mean, you're talking about 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.680 literally palace of cash left on the tarmac. 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:14.800 You're talking about people. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.839 Falling off of the wings of the seventeens trying to 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.320 you know, trying to ride on top of the wing 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.039 all the way home to America. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.320 I mean, it was an insanely. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:32.240 Irresponsible way to leave a warzone a country. So that 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:36.919 falls squarely on the Biden administration. And I'm not trying 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:40.520 to get political and just you know, say one administration 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.920 over the other. What I'm saying is there was no 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.320 excuse that was completely unfrigeable. 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.479 They were seven people on airplanes or anybody, let's go 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.480 get out, get out. No, there's no vetting. 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.680 But in truth, exactly there's zero, zero vetting. 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.960 But in truth, not all of these guys that were 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.800 used that were our wartime surrogates. We're all on the 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.799 up and up. I just saw on the cable shows 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.479 here a couple of weeks ago, there was a bronze 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.440 star recipient, man by the name of Mark Lucas. He 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:15.359 said Afghan allies were quote unquote untrustworthy and perpetuated a 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:19.080 barbaric culture of pedophilia and abusing women. He said, you 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.839 had to watch these guys twenty four to seven or 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:24.800 they just might attack the Afghan women. That might be 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.560 some wartime surrogate. 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.320 So I don't introduce any of that as the character. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.200 Yes, So okay, so you had that going on, you 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.720 had information with the CIA that you're trying to extract 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:41.039 from these dudes, which I'm guessing you were getting, and 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.040 then all of a sudden, here comes the fall of Afghanistan. 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.960 Here comes that awful scene at that air base where 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.279 those thirteen men and women in service were killed. And 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.960 all of a sudden, these people that were running around 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:57.360 the hills of Afghanistan are on a plane going initially 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.000 to these pods around the world before being dumped into 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.400 America unvetted. And this might be within six to eight 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.440 months from them being goat farmers up in the hills 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.360 of Afghanistan. So who didn't see a problem with that, 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.400 right right? 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.039 Well, so this goes this goes to the deeper problem 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.920 of also cultural assimilation. So it would be one thing. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.480 Let's say that in a perfect world, here's what should happen. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:28.560 So you go over there, you work, You work with 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.720 these paramilitary groups or the as surrogates or insurgents or 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:35.000 whatever you want to call them, train them up to 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.279 a high standard. 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.600 And instill some some. 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:43.440 Western values in them, because I mean you won't there's 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:45.640 no exporting democracy place. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.600 Like Afghanistan, you know, but you. 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:54.400 Can instill some sort of non barbaric trustworthy that trustworthiness 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.520 standard and everything else, and so you can vet. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:57.239 Out over time. 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.800 Let's say you're working with them for a series of 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.560 as a lot of these guys were, then you can 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:06.560 build a real dot, a real personal file, a real okay, 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:07.359 now this guy. 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:07.880 Really is that it. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.200 He's worked for us for ten. 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:12.440 Years, his wife is very lovely. You know his kids, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.160 we know whose children are? 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.120 All this stuff, right, And then you could sponsor them 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.480 through an immigrant feed the program, which we saw some 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.680 success out of a rock doing that. And then once 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.120 they've gone to all that and they get to the US, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.880 then you put them through a program to assimilate them 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.679 to American culture and comes in attritions, I mean literally, 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.440 things like you cannot you cannot perform BC reality. You 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.880 know in America, you know you cannot take little boys 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.400 off the street for. 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:44.960 Hurricane Night on Thursday. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.640 Like these things are illegal. You cannot do what. 0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:50.080 Was hurricane night. 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:55.800 Hurricane night is when they would round up air quotes. 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.040 And this is better if I'm on video. 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.800 But I'll just have to explain. So what they do 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:01.720 is is. 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.480 Say they, I mean, the men of a village, of 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.880 an Afghan village, will round up the boys who are 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.640 around nine or ten years old. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.760 Basically it's before you have hair on your face. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:17.240 So children, they'll round them up, put them in dresses, 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:22.360 a makeup on them, and have them dance like little girls. 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.400 And then the rest happens. 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.960 They rape the boys and they go all night, and 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:31.040 it's every Thursday. 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:32.679 They call it Hurricane Night. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.800 So but this alleged, and we have to keep using 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.320 the word alleged, But this alleged assassin that shot and 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.400 killed one particular National guardsman a woman, and then severely 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:50.120 injured another who remains in critical condition. He drives cross 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.640 country and pulls this off just before Thanksgiving. And what 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.840 I saw it, obviously, I was absolutely appalled and disgusted. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.800 But Secondly, I'm not so prized by this. There are 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.880 a lot of people, as you well know, Adam, that 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.360 are running around this country. We have no idea who 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:10.240 they are, what they're up to, and what their motives 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:15.120 may be, that have committed this country legally through this 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.360 this this plan that we had to relocate Afghans that 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.160 were sympathetic to us to the United States and illegally 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:25.640 through the southern border. So I'm just wondering, do you 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.160 sense that this is a warning shot or do you 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:32.760 no pun intended? Or do you sense that we're going 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:36.240 to see a lot more of this as the years progress. 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.200 My honest sense of it is that there's more to 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:48.520 the story. It doesn't really I'd like to get deeper 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:54.199 into this guy's personal motivations because I would be surprised, 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:58.560 frankly if it was just one of these truly ideological 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.360 things that I'm you know, have my personal jiad to 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:07.040 kill Americans. Usually things like that have a sponsor behind them, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.640 a sponsor meeting that this guy was recruited by some 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:15.480 intelligent source that directed him to go carry out and attack. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.360 I would I would guess that would be based. 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:21.320 On my experience, based on the things that I know, 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.080 I just it never passes the sniff. 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.440 Test me that that like the loan gunman. 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:27.839 So to speak. 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.800 Yeah, you know, and this guy was apparently what's some 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:36.160 group called zero unit over in Afghanistan? What is zero unit? 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.800 Because I mean that sounds like it was some select 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.720 group that could carry out missions and fight and all that. 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.400 What is what was it? Was it zero unit? Totally Afghans? 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:48.640 And what what was it? 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:49.959 Yeah? 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.160 So the zero teams or zero unit, there was I 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.280 think four or five of them, and it was and 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.440 it had zero one, zero two, zero three. 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.679 And it just had to do with their regional. 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.040 Designation where they were, whether it. 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.600 Was you know, coast or Kandahar or whatever. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:10.840 But uh, but yes, they what made them think of 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.319 them as kind of like an indigenous Delta force if 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:19.400 you will, trained by by our c i A, trained 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:27.400 by our pier special operations units, and they operated under 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:34.480 very loose authorities, kind of outside the traditional Afghan National Army, 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.120 kind of like the kind of like the untouchables, if 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:41.840 you will, and so and so if you think of 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.640 like c I A peeramilitary officers or you know, your 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.199 your real meat eat and steal Team six guys, your 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:52.920 Delta guys. Uh, it's the same kind of thing, but 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:54.959 with an Afghan. 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.719 Play very very very very highly trained Okay, and the. 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:01.800 C I A worked let's train best equipment. 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:05.160 Right and wait, worked hand in hand with these guys. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:11.600 Did how complicit is the c I A Uh? And 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:15.280 with all these people that were that were taken out 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.400 of their country that weren't fitted and understand that you 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.760 build a dossier on a lot of these guys as 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:22.440 you were working with them. But it seems to me 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.200 that maybe the CIA dropped the ball here. Why not 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.920 insisting more when these before these these people got into 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.480 our country? Did the CIA drop the ball on this? 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:38.080 I mean I personally, I don't know who is responsible 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:41.160 for that, but I would say most likely the interest 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.400 either yeah, at the agency where it's some other bureaucracy, 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.120 whether it's state or you know, the presidential administration, the 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:51.560 White House. I mean, I don't know exactly how that 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.320 was handled. I mean it seemed like so I was 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:58.320 not I would I had. I was gone out of 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:02.120 the service by the time we fled Afghanistan. Yeah, and 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.920 so I was not really super privy to the inside 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.120 baseball of what happened or how it was happening. 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.800 But what it seemed to. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.720 Me is that one day we're there and the next 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:13.880 day we just weren't any more. They said, oh, it's 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.280 gonna be chaper to leave eighty five billion dollars worth 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:18.920 of stuff behind, but we're just going to flee. And 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.360 as I recall too, didn't have something to do with 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.679 you know, I mean this was during the time they 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.679 were throwing everything at Trump, you know, ninety some indictments 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.760 and endless you know, collusion, this and all. As I 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.560 recall it, I think it was just more trying to 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.400 you know, smear mud on a space type thing. 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.319 It was horrible politics. 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:50.920 So this plane takes off and there's several planes. It 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.000 wasn't one plane. 0:13:52.280 --> 0:13:56.280 His plane takes off, and they just showed people on 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.720 these planes. And as I said, they didn't vet them. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.679 And even my Arcis, who was Homeland Security director at 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.640 the time, said, yeah, we really didn't talk to everybody 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:11.040 that got on those planes. Uh yeah, there wasn't really 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.760 great vetting. And now come to find out there wasn't 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.360 much vetting. But what vetting could have taken place, Adam, 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.120 because as I said, in Afghanistan, because of just the 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.680 way that country is. It's a third world country. You 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.840 don't have even birth dates for people, you have birth years. 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.880 But after that, how do you vet and who does 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.440 the vetting? It's I just think when I hear the 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:36.160 word vetting that, okay, how did you accomplish it? Well, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.360 it didn't seem like they tried very hard, does it? 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:40.720 Well? No, of course not. 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.800 And I mean it doesn't pass a common sense test either, 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:45.840 because so if you think back to like the fall 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:49.120 of Sidon, you know, as they're as they're lifting the 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:53.720 helicopters off the rooftop with the people clinging to the pylons, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.840 you know, I don't I think I don't think that 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:57.920 they're asking. 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.720 Them to Okay, well watch you we just we just 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.280 for a second, let's. 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:05.280 Do you your immigration interview, and we'll get your fingerprints 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:06.760 and we'll get your family history. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:07.640 There's none of that. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:10.480 It's like, oh my gosh, the. 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:14.240 Taliban or you know, the Vietnamese or whatever, pick your war, right, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.520 the VC is at the gates. 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:18.720 And we got to go, or the Taliban is you 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:19.200 know what I mean. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.600 So of course there's no betting, you know, So for. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.960 Them that maybe they're like, oh, yeah, well, later. 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:25.560 We did some betting. 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.160 You know, we asked them what their name was, Like, well, 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:29.400 you're talking about a country. 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:33.320 It doesn't even exist administratively in a lot of places. 0:15:34.040 --> 0:15:37.480 Adam's book is the is called The Alpha Blueprint, Preparing 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:41.240 the Next Generation for an AI Future, and it's out everywhere. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.960 Amazon has it and whatnot. And if you've got kids, 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.840 you're right, where do you find truth? Because there's a 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.160 lot passing for truth that is not truth. Adam good 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.240 insight as to what may have transpired with the shooting 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:56.880 and its roots, and you stay well, and you know, 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:02.240 we'll talk down the road. Thanks absolutely, you, yeah, thank you. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:02.560 Well. 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:08.320 Yeah. Vetting is an interesting term, just acknowledging somebody is 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.280 not vetting. Just shoving them onto an airplane is not vetting. 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.120 Just greeting him at the border as they cross illegally 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.640 into the country is not vetting. And there's been a 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.320 decided lack of it over the last five years. And 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.320 here we go, this is what happened. Is it an 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:25.800 isolated instance? I don't know. I hope the hell it is. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.080 I hope there's nothing else like it. Oh, we got 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.480 a lot of people running around this country. That just 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.440 got in here in the last five years. And apparently 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:42.000 this guy allegedly thought he was going to change the tide. 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:46.960 For whatever tide he wanted to change, there's a whole 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.280 lot of it. And anybody that thinks there isn't or 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.240 tells you there isn't, they're going in an opposite direction 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:57.600 of reality. It's twelve twenty five. It's the average American 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.880 and for the great American on this Wednesday, and glad 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.600 that you're along with us, because without you, what are 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.120 we doing here in the first place. Seven hundred wt 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:12.280 WELW ten, one hundred w lw all one time one Sandy. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.639 It's the most wonderful time. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.520 No, we have not gone all Christmas music, Calm down. 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:24.280 Kids, jing little belling, and everyone telling you be of 0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:25.159 good cheese. 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:29.919 It's playing this because had he been alive, Andy Williams 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.440 would have turned ninety eight years old today. Of course, 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.440 he died back in twenty twelve. But Williams was born 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.760 in Iowa, but the family quickly moved to Cincinnati, settled 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:46.800 in Shivy, Itto, And if historians are true, one of 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.920 the first places Andy Wiodiams sang publicly was right here 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:54.120 on this radio station, seven hundred w welw all those 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.680 many years ago and moved to LA and of course 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:01.480 found great fame in television back in the sixties and seventies. 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:07.280 But ninety eight years ago today, Howard Andrew Williams came 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:10.480 upon this earth. I love to get an air check 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:14.000 of him singing on w welwa. Maybe Matt Reese, the 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:18.919 station historian, can get cracking on that one. Would they 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.160 have had tape back then? Did Bing Crosby event tape 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:27.920 back then? Welcome back seven hundred w welwim ken Brew. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:29.920 A couple of things to get to on the program today. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:32.440 Number one, Obamacare. It is going to be a major 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.640 issue again in early January because again we are eyeing 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:39.560 a government shut down possibly in January. But it's also 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.439 an election year that's coming up, and invariably, you know 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:45.439 what happens in election years, the party that's out of 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.280 power just hammers the party in power, and the number 0:18:48.320 --> 0:18:52.040 one point on the hammer will be healthcare. The Dams 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.760 have already been whistling that tune. That's what led to 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:57.880 the shutdown. When the Democrats shut the government down back 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.560 in the fall, it was all was all about health care. 0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.080 They wanted to extend the extra credits, the extra benefits 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:08.919 that the Biden administration put in place during the pandemic 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:13.359 for Obamacare. They were only meant to be temporary, weren't 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.920 meant to be permanent. But that's what the Dems want. 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:21.720 And Obamacare, which is really from a financial point of view, 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:26.520 was never really on firm legs, will eventually implode, and 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.600 so there's got to be a better way to ensure 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.320 those who don't have health insurance. Well what is that. 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:34.760 We're going to talk to a guy that knows the 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.439 healthcare industry inside out, coming up at two o'clock. At 0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:43.040 one o'clock, we had an election last night out in 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:49.720 Tennessee where the Democrat was someone who openly, it would seem, hated. 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.960 The people of the state she wanted to represent. She 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.919 didn't like country music, she didn't like the police, she 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.880 didn't like this, she didn't like that. He was soundly 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:03.679 beaten by the Republican. Now there's a lot of narrative 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:04.400 out there. 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:08.199 Well, Donald Trump, you know, you know, he won that 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:11.600 county by twenty two percent. What's Donald Trump? Which is 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.639 the conundrum for Republicans any election that Donald Trump is 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.960 not involved in for some reason, and you would have 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:22.960 to ask these people why for some reason Republicans don't 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:27.440 show up at the polling places, particularly and off your elections. 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:29.879 Well they did for a special election last night, and 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:34.479 the Republican soundly beat the Democrat. But there's a new 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.720 Gallup survey that's out that shows that we all, you 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.400 meet everyone else, regardless of what we feel from a 0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:45.560 political standpoint, we all embrace democracy. And now, according to 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:51.160 this survey, eighty percent reject political violence, which would fly 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.919 in the face of several surveys and Gallup polls and 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:57.879 whatnot that were taken within this last year that chose 0:20:57.920 --> 0:21:00.040 at the younger end of the demographic seems to have 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:01.880 no problem with violence. 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.879 If it leads to political change. We'll get into that 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:04.560 at one o'clock. 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:10.000 We of course, Andy Williams, you know, little holiday spirit 0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:13.399 should be in all of us. Thanksgiving is in the past, 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.200 and now it continues on in robust fashion with holidays 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.640 like New Year's Eve, and holidays like Christmas and han 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:25.760 again everything else. And sometimes it's the giving powers, the 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.159 power of gratitude that can maybe save you and change 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.800 your brain a little bit and possibly change your life. 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.080 There are scientific surveys that are out there that will 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.600 say doing good things for other people makes you feel 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:41.560 better about yourself. But sometimes people just don't feel better 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.520 about themselves and they have to have something to look 0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:45.280 forward to. You and I have a lot to look 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:50.399 forward to. Not everybody does. So there's a neuropsychiatrist, and 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:52.080 I have no idea what that means, but I'm going 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:53.439 to try and find out here in a minute. A 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:58.840 neuropsychiatrist by the name of doctor Jeffrey Disarbo. He specializes 0:21:58.880 --> 0:22:01.760 in how achievement and gratitude can help grow your brain, 0:22:02.280 --> 0:22:06.520 make you smarter, make you happier, make everything else neurologically better. 0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:08.840 And he said, all we have to do is just 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.600 one step at a time, a little something for someone else, 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.720 little something for me, and all of a sudden, now 0:22:14.080 --> 0:22:16.679 the road seems a little less bumpy and the future 0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:18.800 seems a little brighter. At least that's what he would 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:22.480 have you believe. I'm kind of hooked on this neuropsychiatrist thing, 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:25.919 but nevertheless, let's bring into the conversation about all of 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:29.520
