Boy, the last nice day of the year too, 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:37.000 unless you love you know, thirteen degree windshills and win 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:39.600 guests of thirty or forty miles an hour, which is 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.720 what we have today, Gary Jeff Walker in for Willie 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.760 on this last Monday of the year, and our first 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:51.120 guest on the last Monday of the year is producer 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:55.680 and director of the documentary The Last six hundred Meters. 0:00:56.440 --> 0:01:05.000 This is about two of the deadliest battles of the 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.000 Iraq War early on from the perspective of the men 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:12.280 who fought it, and its producer and director is a 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.400 man named Michael Pack and he is on my line 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.759 right now. Good afternoon, and happy New year, Michael. How 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:18.040 are you. 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.560 I'm doing well. Happy New Year to you to you. 0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:26.360 Too, Oh, thank you very much. This was filmed obviously 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.200 years ago and it's just been this documentary and it's 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.960 just coming out. Now, tell me a little bit about 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.440 the last six hundred meters from your perspective, since you 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.120 were instrumental in putting it together. 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.759 Absolutely, well, let's call the last six hundred meters because 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.440 the Special Force of Sniper says in the film, I 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.200 don't make foreign policy. I just delivered the last six 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.360 hundred meters of it, meaning what he could see through 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.160 his sniperscope. And that's what we tried to do in 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.800 this film. As you said in the introduction, how the 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.040 story is from the point of view people who fought there, 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.600 and these these the biggest battles America's forts since Vietnam, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.120 Belujah and the jeff And we spoke to people from 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.640 corporals and sergeants up to the one star generals that 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.160 were in the field. We try to tell these stories 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.799 without politics. Is if their battle stories could like historical 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:22.040 battles like Gettysburger Ewejima. And it's that feeling that you know, 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.400 we asked these young men and women to fight and 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.440 die for us. We should at least understand what they 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:31.440 did and understand their valor and sacrifice. And it's true 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.919 that we did. We shot these interviews many years ago. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.600 The battles took place in two thousand and four. We 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.480 shot the interviews in two thousand and six when the 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.680 people were still young and they look like they did 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.040 in the footage. And then it was primarily funded by 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.440 the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, and it took us many 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.080 years before PBS agreed to put it on the air, 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.160 but they broadcasted the day before Veterans Day of this 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:57.360 past fall, and now they're distributing it to Amazon and 0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.320 soon elsewhere so your listeners can get it. I got 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.440 directly to Amazon and just searching for the last six 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.280 hundred meters, or to our website Matifold Productions dot com, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.280 where we've made over fifteen sounds for public television and 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:12.400 they're all listed there. 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.160 You mentioned the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, of which you 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.919 were a CEO, and you were also co chair of 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:24.440 the International TV Council there and the Senate confirmed you 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.400 to serve in the National Council of the Humanities, which 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.400 oversaw the National and Dance Endowment for the Humanities. Michael, 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.520 you know what I love about Wikipedia, Almost nothing except 0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.520 it's a great It's it's a great source for slanted 0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:48.720 information because they they termed your term from June to 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.040 twenty twenty to January of twenty twenty one, when you 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:58.360 served as the CEO of well overseeing basically the Voice 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:03.600 of America and several other entities of our federal government 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.920 in overseas and broadcasting. And Wikipedia terms your your time 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:14.000 there as a time of crisis because you actually fired 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:19.320 people that needed to be fired, you know. And and 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:24.080 since President Trump has returned to office, Uh, he's talked 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:28.880 about defunding NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.839 its current form. Uh, you know, why are taxpayers paying 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.760 for basically state run radio and TV? And I think 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.839 he has a point there. What's your thought in retrospect 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:44.200 looking back on your time and and what's gone on 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.479 now since President Trump has returned. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:53.560 To office, Well, he has defunded CPD, which means PBS 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.159 and NPR. My other time, my most contentious time in 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.080 the first Trump administration, as you said, was as the 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.200 US Agency for Global Media, which oversees the Voice of 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:07.560 America and the other international broadcasters. And President Trump has 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.320 entrusted carry Lake with the job of reducing it to 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:11.840 its statutory minimum. 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:13.760 And I agree with that. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:18.840 Actually, I found these organizations to be tremendously biased. There 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.840 are a case study in what happens with the administrative 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.360 state when you have an unelected branch of government, essentially 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.600 government bureaucrats acting as if they know more than the president, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.279 which they may or may not know more than the president. 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.839 But he's elected by the American people and he needs 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.760 to have the power to get his vision across in 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.600 the time that he's president. If you don't like it, 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.880 you've got to vote him out of office. But these 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.240 administrative agencies are very resistant to that. 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:47.200 They think they know better. They think President Trump what 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:48.480 does he know about the media? 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.640 You know, he's just a sort of reality star where 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.160 really journalists. 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:55.159 And they chose not to listen to me. 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:59.800 Or as the representative of President Trump. And I think 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:01.720 that I have an important mission the Voice of America, 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.720 which is to tell America's story to the world and 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.599 counter propaganda from ora enemies like China and Russia and Iran. 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.400 But they're not actually doing it in an effective way, 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.480 and they're not responsive to the President. And those institutions 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.800 need to be demolished and rebuilt from the ground up. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.680 And that's a very tough job that the president is 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:27.560 entrusted to carry lake, and I think it needs to 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.000 be done, and. 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.600 There are a lot of that across the government. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.920 I feel like in a way the Doge action elon 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.880 Musk separates were really not directed properly. 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:41.359 It was It's not just the waste, broad and abuse. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:45.680 There's something wrong with unelected bureaucrats acting as if they 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.000 know better than the president, whether they do or not. 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:50.960 That's not the way democracy works. And that was a 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.400 problem for me, and you can see it in my 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.719 Wikipedia page which you reference where they at all, where 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.680 they chose to reference all these facts of me from 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.560 the Wash and Post of the New York Times and 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.000 NPR and elsewhere. So then, which is a symptom of 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.280 the problem itself. So yes, I think it's a tough thing. 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:14.080 And President Trump has way bigger problems where those where 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.880 there's a resistant bureaucracy and huge institutions like the Defense 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.120 Department of the Department of Justice that are far more important. 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.000 But I found that the problems of the US Agency 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.080 for Global Media were. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.360 A small case study in this kind of issue. 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.520 Oh, absolutely a microcosm of that larger administrative state that 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:36.520 you spoke of and it's so odd you were fired 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:40.080 or asked to leave your position two hours after Joe 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:43.680 Biden took office, two hours And I don't remember any 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:49.120 great uproar of people fight. You can't fire Michael Pack. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.400 He's doing He's doing a great job. Nobody kicked and 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.760 screamed about that. But when President Trump, who is the 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.560 executive and had the purview to fire these heads of 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.960 these agencies who aren't doing what his agenda speaks to 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.760 what they should be doing, you know, are acting like 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:15.520 it's a constitutional crisis that the executive would do. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:15.720 That. 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:20.119 Therein lies the difference between right and left. I think, 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:22.960 at least right now in this country. Would you agree 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:23.360 with that? 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:25.440 I do agree. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.800 I mean I had a multi year appointment which President 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.480 Biden shows to ignore. And it's true he fired me 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.800 or asked me to resign within an hour. I think 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:40.280 of his inauguration. Politico re appointed it, reported it as the 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:43.800 first foreign policy actor of the Biden administration, which I 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.920 guess is kind of an honor. I'm more important than 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.320 Russia or or whatever other foreign policy challenges he had, 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:54.160 So I wasn't the first to go. And more importantly, 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.920 we had people that I have brought in who had 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:00.280 actual binding contracts to run like radio for your Greater 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:04.880 Liberty Middle East Broadcasting Radio Free Asia. And they had 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.040 actual contracts, written, contracts, signed, legitimate and he fired them. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.400 And that really is a violation of the rule of law. 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:14.600 In America, where a contract is supposed to be a contract. 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.600 That those people, those heads of those networks were told 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240 by their lawyers that they had right on their. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.320 Side, but that would never be. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.439 It would take them years to win, cost them a 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.800 huge amount of money, and just wasn't worth it. So 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.400 they were illegally fired, even more so than myself. And yes, 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.840 there was no uproar. It was not even covered. It 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:39.960 was not even covered. That's such a small you know, 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:43.200 sin wasn't even covered in right leaning media, let alone 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.439 and left leaning media. 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.280 You mentioned Doge, and the first big Doge cuts were 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:54.560 to USAID, which I totally agreed with, since a lot 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.960 of this money seemed to me from the outside looking 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:04.280 in as just a giant money laundering organization where the 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:10.120 money was supposed to go to whatever transgender turtles in 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:14.720 Turkey too, and it somehow found its way back into 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.960 the pockets of people here in the United States. I 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:23.000 hope that they unravel all of that and that no 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:28.240 longer is a burden on the US taxpayer. Let's switch 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.920 gears here talking to Michael Pack who was the producer 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.840 and director. He's also the president of Manifold Productions and 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.640 Palladium Pictures. With this documentary the last six hundred meters 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.120 about two of the deadliest battles in Iraq in the 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:48.480 Iraq Will War two thousand and four, that the President 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.400 laid a huge Christmas present, if you want to call 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.840 it that on ISIS in Nigeria over the Christmas holiday 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:02.640 and these strikes, of course, tarketing this terrorist group which 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.880 Trump had already defeated the Caliphate in his first term 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.000 in a matter of weeks, along with the great strategy 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:14.240 of the military and the great leaders there. He warned 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.360 them they'd have held to pay if they kept killing 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:21.320 Christians in these huge numbers in Nigeria, and he delivered 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:27.520 once again an any thoughts on that this, Michael, I think. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:32.800 That's well put that he you know, Isis remains a threat. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:37.000 And people sometimes think of Donald Trump as a neo isolationist. 0:11:37.040 --> 0:11:39.880 I don't think that's really right. He's been consistent. 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:44.000 He's, as you say, he opposed ISIS in the first term, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:48.360 and he they're not defeated and he's opposed to them. 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:51.719 Now. It is true that, you know, we want to. 0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:54.680 Avoid getting sucked into an endless land war, as we've 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.160 done before, but I think Tom Trump is very sensitive 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.800 about that, so I supportive of those attacks on ISIS. 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:05.200 Another documentary we're working on with the Wall Street Journalist 0:12:05.200 --> 0:12:08.880 about withdrawal from Afghanistan, which you may remember ended with 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:11.960 a suicide bombing on the part of ISIS k that 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:17.439 it killed thirteen Americans and hundreds of Afghan citizens. So 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.720 I think these these you know, Radical Islam remains a threat. 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.199 I think Donald Trump is right to attack them where 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.080 they threaten Americans. So I'm supportive of that, you know, 0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:31.320 and I think defending Christians is an admirable goal. But 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.400 it's not just that in the Syria attacks, you know, 0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.800 had nothing to do with Christians. I think he's opposed 0:12:36.800 --> 0:12:41.760 to radical Islam because of its threat to American citizens 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.560 and others that remain an international threat. 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.440 So I'm supportive of that. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.400 As you mentioned in my film The Least Six and 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.040 the Meters, it is really a case and what happens, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.760 how challenging these counters surgencies can be when they become 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:57.360 extended land wards, and I. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.920 Think people should watch that and. 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.880 Be reminded of those things. We often reluctant to look back, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.360 but as they've gone too the holidays, I think we should. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.319 And I feel strongly that the veterans of the Iraq 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:11.360 and Afghanistan wars do not get the credit they deserve 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.040 because people have mixed feelings about their war, but that 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.160 doesn't take away from the heroism of the young men 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:17.640 and women who fought them for us. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.559 I was looking at my history notes for my program 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:25.080 this past Saturday morning, Michael, and it was the anniversary 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:30.160 in nineteen seventy nine when the Soviets toppled the Afghan 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:35.360 government and installed their own puppet and then stayed in 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:40.839 a slog for ten years in Afghanistan and then lo 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.839 and behold ten years later. There we are locked in 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.960 this twenty year battle in Afghanistan. And if we didn't 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:53.560 learn anything from Vietnam at all, we should have learned 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.959 that Afghanistan the folly of that even going after the 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.240 people that were behind nine to eleven, well, it should 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.559 have been clear to us especially after the Soviets ten 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.200 years of inertia. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.959 And I mean, don't you think so. Don't you think 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:14.280 we would have learned better from the example of the Soviets. Oh, well, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.560 we're just going to do it better than they did. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:17.520 No, we didn't. 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.880 It's hard to learn these lessons. As you point out, 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.440 they are tough to learn. We could have got in, 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.120 tried to kill. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.040 The sound the lot and gotten out. I mean, that 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:31.360 would have been the perfect solution. 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.520 We think it's clear in retrospect there are other times 0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:37.280 when we could have gotten out too. The way we 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:45.200 finally withdrew was I think a tragedy. But yeah, lessons 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.120 from war are tough to learn. I don't know how 0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:50.120 many it takes. I think it's worth That's why I 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.360 think it's worth watching our film Lessons to Remeters. We 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.840 don't make politically, we don't comment politically. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.640 We just show the battles. But you can see the 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:03.080 impact on people fighting, of shift and changing political goals 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:06.240 from Washington. So yeah, those are hard wars to fight. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.600 I hope we don't get involved in a land war 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.160 in Venezuela or anywhere else. 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:10.720 That's true. 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.440 So far, Trump has been pretty effective in the way 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:18.400 he's been going at it, so he seems pretty conscious 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.000 of not being sucked. 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:23.680 Into a long war with unclear goals. So I hope 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:24.680 he has learned. 0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:29.080 Of the infantry men that you interviewed for the last 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.640 six hundred meters, how much have you followed up with 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.040 them who are still around in present day? 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:39.480 Michael, Well, you know, sometimes seventeen years to get this 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.400 film on the air, as I mentioned. 0:15:41.120 --> 0:15:42.560 And now on Amazon. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.560 And we had a screening in Washington where we invited 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:47.520 all veterans that were in the film, and a large 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:50.840 number came from around the country and it was really 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.560 inspiring to see them. I mean, now they're actually middle aged. 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.080 You know, a lot of time has gone by, but 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.840 there remain the same, you know, the wonderful examples of 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:05.000 American in these world men be came manhood, and you 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.080 know the one the Marines, especially that we're there. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.560 We're really as. 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.120 Gung ho as they were back in two thousand and four. 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:17.000 You know, they are very funny. They are believers that 0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.120 if you give them a clear objective, you know they 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:22.040 can achieve it. And they did do that when such 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.200 objectives were given to them in Iraq and Afghanistan. 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.680 So I mean a lot of them have had interesting lives. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:31.720 Your time is done by. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.000 But they're all of them proud of their service. There's 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.720 not any of them that are, you know, extremely disillusioned 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.080 or anti American or were bitter about it, which is 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:43.120 surprising in a way. 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:45.800 How long is the film. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.480 It's ninety minutes, and there are three battles, the first 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.560 battle of Flujah in Marsh, then this against Sunni and 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.760 surgeons in the north. The second battle is Najaff against 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.480 Shiite surgeons in the south, and then back to the 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.760 second attal Flujjah in the north again in November of 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:03.800 two thousand and four. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:08.320 And you know, these this film has great stories of heroism. 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.400 People have always watched and listened to and read stories 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:16.920 of battles and war, from Homer's Iliad to War John 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:17.840 Wayne and World War. 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:18.840 Two movies to today. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:22.640 And that's because war really test men and you see 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:26.000 their spirit and their their will and ones that suffer 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.680 and difficulties. And you know, one of the reasons we 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.200 made this film is because these battles are not just 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:34.800 something there's a big focus on technology, but a lot 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.439 of it depends on the heroism of these young men 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:45.080 and women. For example, one marine lieutenant told the story 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:52.600 in n jaff A Splot of his being trapped underground 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:57.480 under these hotels, and they were encountering an insurgent and 0:17:57.640 --> 0:17:59.760 such close quarters that neither of them could get out 0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.000 there their automatic their rifles, and so it turned into 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:05.800 a knife fight. They pulled their bayonets, and it ended 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.200 when the marine was able to stab the insurgent in 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:08.600 the eye. 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.720 You know, a brutal, vicious fight. 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.560 Not unlike what could have happened hundreds of years ago 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.160 in a rocket or anywhere else. So, although technology is important, 0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.440 a lot depends on the valor of these young people 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.760 fighting on our behalf, Michael, So there's a lot of 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:25.480 that in the film. 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.400 Michael Pack the director and producer of the Last six 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:33.800 hundred Meters with us, President of Manifold Productions, and I 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.359 wish a great success with this, and I hope people 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:41.000 who are interested in the bravery and the commitment of 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:45.359 these people who fight on our behalf, so you can 0:18:45.400 --> 0:18:48.560 actually see what they were going through and what they 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:50.640 went through. Michael, thank you so much for your time 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:51.760 today and happy New Year. 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.520 Happy to hear to you. Thank you for having me 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:55.120 on your show. 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:58.840 You got it, Joshu Philip from the Epoch Times is 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:01.840 coming up. I'm Gary Jeff Walker in. This is the 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.480 Bill Cunningham Show. And if you were you know that 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.000 there are significant power outages in places like Mount Adams. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.280 Still my work from Duke on when that power could 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:18.040 be restored. The high winds continue, the sub zero temperatures, 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.440 or at least feels that way. We're at twenty one 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.320 right now in Kenwood and much colder with the windshill 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.960 and some light snow was blown around earlier. What a 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:33.520 way to usher out twenty twenty five, huh, especially after 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:37.879 the weekend that was nice yesterday. Gary Jeff Walker in 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.320 for Willie. The Bill Cunningham Show continues on this last 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.560 Monday of the year on seven hundred WLW. And our 0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:47.640 next guest is somebody I've had on the air multiple 0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.600 times because he's really that good. He's an investigative reporter 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:55.520 for the Epoch Times and a documentary filmmaker and his 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:59.959 latest is Truth under Fire and I believe the SubTime 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.399 is the framing of Charlie Kirk. He will correct me 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.040 if need be, and he probably will he should. It 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:11.080 was featured at Amfest, the celebration of Charlie Kirk and 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:15.960 his movement, which continues to grow stronger and stronger in 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:17.639 the wake of his murder. 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.959 Joshua Philip from the Epic Times back with us, Joshua, 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:23.480 how are. 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:23.840 You doing. 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:25.840 Doing well? 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:26.280 Thank you? 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:28.920 And yeah, getting close to the New Year's are getting 0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:29.320 ready for that? 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.040 No doubt? Truth under Fire. Tell me about the documentary 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.160 and what you were trying about. 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.160 You got the name right, so thank you very much. 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:40.879 But yeah, it's so. 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:45.680 The documentary was started with that idea that I wanted 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:49.240 to talk about the hip piece machine. There was a 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:54.040 system in place and still is to first to defame people, 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.199 to frame them for political purpose, to make people too 0:20:57.240 --> 0:21:01.240 afraid to step out. Then it docked them, it releases 0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:05.600 their private information. Then it organizes against them and TIFA 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.960 people showing up the doors that have as people protesting 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:11.800 their events, and sometimes leads to actual violence against them. 0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:14.120 In Charlie Kirk's case, I believe led to the death. 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.000 I led to the killing of him. But what's not 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:20.080 being discussed by a lot of the public is, you know, 0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.880 we look at the suspect, we don't we'll see innocenter 0:21:23.920 --> 0:21:27.680 guilty but in the suspect right now, people have a 0:21:27.760 --> 0:21:30.480 million conspiracies about you know, who done it. We don't 0:21:30.480 --> 0:21:33.800 really know yet. It's still in trial. But I don't 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.720 think anybody's talking about the machine in place that I 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:42.159 believe marked Charlie Kirk for death. And the documentary aims 0:21:42.200 --> 0:21:45.920 to show what that machine is and also goes into 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.399 what Charlie Kirk really represented. You know, I knew Charlie, 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:52.200 who's a fantastic guy. I regarded him as a friend. 0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:56.080 It hit me pretty hard, But after his death there 0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.520 was the beginning of almost a spiritual reawakening in America 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.639 that is still going on but is not getting a 0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:04.560 lot of attention, and so I wanted to take time 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:07.960 to also recognize that. So the film also shows that 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:09.679 there have been. 0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:14.800 I don't know ten to maybe twenty times to one 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:21.160 hundred times the applications for chapters of Turning Point USA 0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:26.080 at college campuses in the wake of Charlie's murder. You 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.480 talked about this spiritual reawakening that is happening that is 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.800 not being covered by the news. All the focus has 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.960 been I mean today, this morning, there was a hearing 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:40.879 as to whether there would be cameras allowed in the courtroom, 0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:47.760 and Charlie's wife, Erica, is campaigning for those cameras to 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.560 be there. As she mentioned quite plainly, the cameras were 0:22:51.600 --> 0:22:53.919 always on Charlie, and they were on Charlie the day 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:58.920 he was murdered at Utah Valley State Or Yeah, and 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.040 how do you come down on that alone, Joshua, I 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:07.080 know it's kind of separate subject from what we're talking about, but. 0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:10.200 I think, I use. 0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:14.879 Cameras are necessary. Yeah, I think the cameras are necessary 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.720 because you know, you know, we're in an odd day 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:23.240 and age where let's put a say, all information is 0:23:23.400 --> 0:23:27.399 mediated these days unless people can see it firsthand. And 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:30.159 the unfortunate reality is a lot of the mediating voices 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:34.239 are not necessarily honest. So if the media, let's put 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.240 a say, if you or I could watch the video, 0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:39.359 you know, at times, we'll of course try to have 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:43.680 a reporter in the courtroom regardless of outgoes, but not 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:47.840 everybody can do that unless you or I can watch 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:50.240 the video and see exactly what is said. We'll have 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:52.680 to rely on the interpretations of what was said from 0:23:52.720 --> 0:23:56.600 other people. We'll have to go buy CNN or MSNBC 0:23:56.880 --> 0:24:00.640 or New York Times or you know, a podcaster maybe, 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:06.760 and even some of the independent journalists have their own agendas, frankly, 0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:09.840 and so in order to really know what was said, 0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:13.880 in order to really understand the evidence presented, most people 0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:17.360 are not going to go and read the entire list 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.640 of charges. Most people are going to read the entire 0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:21.440 case law. They're going to depend on our people to 0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:22.760 do it for them. But if you have a video, 0:24:22.840 --> 0:24:26.520 they're more likely to watch it. The video will more 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.159 accurately present and have their social understanding of what actually 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:33.440 took place, what led to the killing of Charlie, and 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.400 the evidence presented on the suspect. 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:40.520 We got you. Let's switch gears here for a second. 0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:44.639 We'll get back to truth under fire, I promise before 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.840 we're done here. How do you feel about the coverage 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:55.680 of the obvious and looked over fraud in the state 0:24:55.720 --> 0:25:01.000 of Minnesota. They're suggesting as much as nine billion dollars 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:06.439 has been defrauded from the taxpayers in Minnesota UH, mostly 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:13.400 to UH these Somali organizations, Somali terrorists, and and lavish 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:19.760 expenses for the people who stole the money from Minnesota taxpayers. 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:25.359 Right under Governor Waltz's nos that is getting probably more 0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:32.639 coverage for some reason, uh than ordinarily it would. Do 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.960 you think, do you think it's getting the right amount 0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:39.840 of coverage? Though I know Fox News has been just 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:43.760 laser focused on it, But how much how much time 0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:47.639 is the other alphabet network spending on it and the 0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:49.760 the other sources that you mentioned earlier. 0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:56.680 So my view on what's happening, but uh, is probably 0:25:56.720 --> 0:25:58.959 a lot different from you're gonna what you're gonna hear 0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:03.960 anywhere else. And I would say that my view is 0:26:04.119 --> 0:26:09.320 now slowly showing itself to be true. What you're watching 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:15.000 in Minnesota is a test of prosecuting local officials who 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:18.320 have allowed for migrant fraud to take place all across 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:22.520 the United States. The Somali community is now being accused 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.240 You mentioned of at least nine billion so the summer 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:28.000 saying up to fifteen billion dollars in fraud. But the 0:26:28.080 --> 0:26:31.040 reality is we don't even know. And it turns out 0:26:32.359 --> 0:26:35.359 similar forms of just the Somali fraud is being found 0:26:35.440 --> 0:26:37.320 in other parts of the country. The gay I believe, 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:41.119 I saw Ohio they even found some recently. But here's 0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:48.280 the bigger part. Local government officials are being incriminated for 0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.040 their involvement in it, whether it was turning a blind guy, 0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:53.560 whether it was telling people, don't go after them, don't 0:26:53.600 --> 0:26:57.600 investigate them, don't prosecute them, whether it was creating the 0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:02.440 policies that allowed the fraud to happen. Governor Walls and 0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:06.800 Rashid Ta Leab and local officials, they're all really facing 0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:10.359 a lot of pressure right now. The bigger picture is this, 0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:12.480 which I don't think you're going to hear anywhere else, 0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:13.920 just that you're going to hear it eventually, but not 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:16.639 just yet. And I'll tell you all right now, this 0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:22.639 is why it matters. The exact forms of fraud, the 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:28.720 exact protections, the exact same policies have been happening all 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:34.359 across the United States through various organizations and migrant groups 0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:39.680 and illegal alien communities. And if they can prosecute not 0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.240 only are the people involved with it and retake some 0:27:42.359 --> 0:27:47.320 of that money, but also prosecute potentially even local government officials, 0:27:47.680 --> 0:27:50.000 which they're talking about doing in Minnesota right now at 0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:51.760 the very least criminally investigating them. 0:27:52.800 --> 0:27:53.440 What will that do? 0:27:54.400 --> 0:27:57.959 That will probably get sim of those officials out of office, 0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.840 It'll make the entire political party look bad, especially ding 0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:05.720 to the midterms. They could put someone who in prison. Frankly, 0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:08.960 it will inform the American public of how badly they've 0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:12.560 been robbed by fraud. It will justify the deportations, it 0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:16.840 will delegitimize sanctuary city policies, and it could be the 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:22.320 wedge that Trump needs effectively to justify, prosecute, and overturn 0:28:22.359 --> 0:28:24.240 a lot of the systems that's been blocking him from 0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:28.879 doing all that. I believe Minnesota is a testing ground 0:28:29.119 --> 0:28:31.119 of what you're going to see happen all across the country. 0:28:31.720 --> 0:28:35.800 Oh, I hope that's correct. As as a taxpayer and 0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:40.600 someone who's not participating in the fraud, I mean, yeah, well. 0:28:40.680 --> 0:28:42.920 If you're involved in the fraud Gipogo, you know, the 0:28:43.000 --> 0:28:46.160 run while you can exactly. I hear Salia, I hear 0:28:46.240 --> 0:28:47.200 Samalia is great. 0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:48.640 This time of here, it's a night and sunny, you 0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:49.160 know problem. 0:28:50.560 --> 0:28:53.200 I'm sure. I'm sure illin Omar is just chomping at 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:57.760 the bit to get back there. On another front, communist 0:28:57.920 --> 0:29:02.000 China is ratcheting up press You're on Taiwan again in 0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:05.760 response to the US putting the clamps on Venezuela. The 0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:11.240 oil blockade that President Trump has uh has instituted and 0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:18.360 China Communist China has always wanted to retake Taiwan. I 0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.960 think it's less likely they do with a president like 0:29:22.040 --> 0:29:25.600 Trump in office. So I mean, is it naive to 0:29:25.720 --> 0:29:30.239 blame communists China ratcheting up the pressure on Taiwan, I mean, 0:29:30.400 --> 0:29:35.160 just as saber rattling because we are going after Venezuelan 0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:39.080 oil and trying to shut down that regime there. What's up. 0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.440 No, I think it's actually more significant. I think I 0:29:42.520 --> 0:29:46.680 think China, the Chinese Communist Party, might try to take Taiwan. 0:29:47.600 --> 0:29:50.360 They have a very small window before America rebuild its 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:56.040 manufacturing base. Sijing teams made Advisor previously told him that 0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:57.920 if they want to if they want to take Taiwan, 0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:00.760 America needs to be involved in four wars including Taiwan. 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:02.360 They wanted to war with Russia, a warre in the 0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:05.040 Middle East like think Youran, and they wanted to war 0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:07.800 in Latin America. They wanted to actually Brazil to start 0:30:07.880 --> 0:30:11.400 war under Lula the first time. Lula is currently backing 0:30:11.520 --> 0:30:15.400 Maduro and so is you know, Columbia's even involved. So 0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:19.720 if they can have a tries country force trying to 0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:24.240 challenge America. That might be the proper division of American forces. 0:30:24.320 --> 0:30:26.920 They need to clear the way for it. But I 0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.040 would also and they have a very limited time until 0:30:29.040 --> 0:30:34.080 America gets ship building capabilities, rare earth minerals, steel, all 0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.280 the industries we need to have wartime production, which we 0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:39.040 currently do not have but is being built. They have 0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:40.720 a very small window of time if they want to 0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:43.560 do it. But I would actually say that venezuel is 0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:47.040 also not about oil in China's interest, It's about them 0:30:47.080 --> 0:30:52.320 in Roe doctrine. Chavez, the guy came before Maduro and 0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:55.640 who handpicked Maduro, actually worked with Fidel Castro to basically 0:30:55.680 --> 0:30:59.800 push America out of Latin America, and a lot of 0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:02.360 that was correctly meant to overturn them in Road doctrine 0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:05.960 to stop America from enforcing like a regional security for 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:09.000 all of Latin America. If they want to restore them 0:31:09.080 --> 0:31:11.440 in Road doctrine and American presence in Latin America, they 0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:16.280 have to overthrow Maduro. China was they use that as 0:31:16.320 --> 0:31:20.280 their beachhead, and they effectively have been dominating Latin America 0:31:20.360 --> 0:31:25.360 in America instead through the Delton Road initiative. And so 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:28.720 this is I think more of a battle over who 0:31:28.800 --> 0:31:32.600 controls the region, and China is basically hedging its bets 0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:35.560 right now, saying, well, gee, we need. 0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:36.880 To at least take the Asia Pacific. 0:31:36.960 --> 0:31:39.080 We have a very small window time to re establish 0:31:39.240 --> 0:31:42.840 our dominance, our order, because America is running circles around us. 0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:45.360 They don't have a wartime production. This may be our 0:31:45.440 --> 0:31:48.680 only chance, and I think they might, more so than 0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:50.640 ever before. They might try to do. 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:51.320 Something right now. 0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:55.120 So twenty twenty six could be the year that communists 0:31:55.160 --> 0:31:56.120 China makes their move. 0:31:58.400 --> 0:32:01.880 They might not have the ability to do it or win, 0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:06.240 but it might be the best opportunity they have because 0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:08.560 the window for it will will go away. 0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:11.960 And we've seen some things kind of turn around in 0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:17.040 Latin America, haven't we uh in regards to Panama and 0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:22.600 the Canal, in regards to Venezua Argentina, and so there 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:31.040 there is some pro American pro liberty presence in Latin 0:32:31.120 --> 0:32:34.960 America in South America to kind of counter what Maduro 0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:38.200 and Colombia and Brazil are doing, isn't there? 0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:39.920 There is? 0:32:40.400 --> 0:32:45.400 So in Brazil Lula Desulva, who's back in power, work 0:32:45.480 --> 0:32:48.920 together for deel Castro also to establish what was called 0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.720 the four alseal Paula, the form of sal Paula, and 0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:56.680 that facilitated alongside what Jabez was doing with also Castro. 0:32:58.080 --> 0:33:00.120 And and by the way, Castro was also i know, 0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:01.680 to bring in a lot of the drug tray. Castro 0:33:01.800 --> 0:33:03.560 was kind of the you know, the one who really 0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:05.280 brought a lot of the a lot of US into 0:33:05.360 --> 0:33:08.000 Latin Americas because they were they were the front the 0:33:08.280 --> 0:33:11.800 front line for the communist incursion into Latin America. 0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:14.360 But they need the regional allies. 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.440 But what Lula did was they built the four House Aupaula, 0:33:17.520 --> 0:33:21.680 which was a form of intergovernmental groups parties, even narco 0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:24.440 Terroristbally I think a shining panther Fark was part of them, 0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:29.960 a corich one to to facilitate what they call a 0:33:30.000 --> 0:33:33.680 pink wave, which was the socialist government takeover of most 0:33:33.800 --> 0:33:36.840 countries in the region between the late nineties and early 0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:39.920 two thousands and and a lot of that had to 0:33:39.960 --> 0:33:44.120 do with money, political strategy, the whole nine yeards. Drugs 0:33:44.160 --> 0:33:46.720 were part of it. Although they wouldn't openly admit that 0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:51.600 drugs are a way to plant your candidate because you 0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.560 use corruption effectively as a weapon. 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:54.640 It's a political tool. 0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:58.720 If somebody runs against your guy, you have the cartels 0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:02.120 kill him, very simple. You win the election. The guy 0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:04.960 you had manipulates the law to clear the way for 0:34:05.000 --> 0:34:08.200 whatever the heck you want politically, and and and they 0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:10.960 used that effectively to push the US out of the region. 0:34:12.120 --> 0:34:15.920 The oil trade was kind of a way to spread 0:34:15.960 --> 0:34:19.279 the wealth of Venezuela to facilitate to to support the 0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:20.680 socialist governments taking power. 0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.040 And if Trump cuts and if Trump is able to 0:34:23.120 --> 0:34:26.759 cut that off, then then they have you know, it's 0:34:26.840 --> 0:34:29.839 kind of like Iran by uh and that those are 0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:33.920 kind of inexorably tied together too. Iran and Venezuela. They 0:34:33.960 --> 0:34:37.840 are in that way because if you cut off the oil, 0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.880 you cut off their money supply and their ability to 0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:45.799 continue to to dominate in their regas. 0:34:45.840 --> 0:34:50.040 That's accurate, Yeah, that's accurate. So they're not ideologically motivated. 0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:51.280 They're financial motivated. 0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:52.120 You know. 0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:54.600 The cartels are not like the Taliban where they're going 0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.239 to you know, die for gi Hot. They're dying because 0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.040 they want to make money. And so if you if 0:34:59.080 --> 0:35:02.040 you make the risk greater than the reward, their ideology 0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:05.000 is not strong enough to keep fighting as well as 0:35:05.040 --> 0:35:08.640 basically an oil country and then a drug country post 0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:11.800 the oil. The drugs are just a political tool for 0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:16.880 using corruption is a weapon, is a weaponized tool to 0:35:17.360 --> 0:35:18.280 create government power. 0:35:18.520 --> 0:35:21.160 Joshua Philip, once again, you're brilliant.

He's written a book about it. It's both 0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:39.279 based on biblical prophecy and his expertise on the Middle East. 0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:41.720 As you heard during the news if you were listening 0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:47.560 or didn't know this already, Iran's president has declared full 0:36:47.640 --> 0:36:54.759 out war on Europe, Israel, the United States and will 0:36:54.840 --> 0:37:00.440 twenty twenty six be a year of more war to 0:37:00.560 --> 0:37:04.000 try and answer those questions and break it down along 0:37:04.120 --> 0:37:08.880 with the strike on Nigerian Isis. It was killing Christians 0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:12.400 that has been killing Christians at a record rate, especially 0:37:12.400 --> 0:37:14.759 in the northwest part of that country, where they have 0:37:14.880 --> 0:37:17.800 a stronghold or at least had a stronghold before the 0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:23.120 Christmas Day bombings by President Trump.

Are we already 0:37:52.760 --> 0:37:53.200 at war? 0:37:55.000 --> 0:37:55.120 Oh? 0:37:55.520 --> 0:37:59.160 Absolutely, we're at war. Of course, it always depends how 0:37:59.200 --> 0:38:02.840 you want to war. But I really see, and I 0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:04.920 don't know if you've heard just it's just come out 0:38:05.080 --> 0:38:09.360 a video where the Iranians are on the streets having 0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:15.239 mass riots and the Iranian government has begged Arab full 0:38:15.440 --> 0:38:20.120 Islamic Arab governments to come help them quiet this. So 0:38:20.520 --> 0:38:23.240 they're not as tough as they think they are. Something 0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:24.200 big could be happening. 0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:28.480 This very weak right, but they have declared full out 0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:31.640 war on the United States, Europe and Israel. 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:32.759 And we already knew that. 0:38:33.000 --> 0:38:33.200 To me. 0:38:34.280 --> 0:38:37.560 Iran declared war in the United States in nineteen seventy 0:38:37.680 --> 0:38:41.680 nine when they took over our embassy, you know, sovereign soil, 0:38:41.880 --> 0:38:46.080 took American hostages and held them for four hund forty 0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:48.840 four days. That was a declaration of war that I 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:51.560 don't believe the United States ever answered sufficiently. 0:38:51.760 --> 0:38:59.160 Do you? You are absolutely correct, But they are Islamic 0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:03.960 terror us. There's a radical Islamis and of course you're 0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:07.120 moderate islamis As you heard just the other day, Somali 0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:10.839 land was recognized by the nation of Israel, and oh, 0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:14.040 my goodness, Tetter was all upset. Saudi Arabia is all 0:39:14.160 --> 0:39:18.000 upset that here's a Maslem nation that is a precative 0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:18.680 of Israel. 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:26.360 So how how does the Bible tell this? Because I 0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:30.160 know you use a lot of biblical prophecy in your predictions. 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:37.320 Oh. Absolutely, it comes down from Exodus chapter seventeen, verse sixteen. 0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:41.080 There was a nation that first attached Israel and they 0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:46.000 left Egypt called him Amelek, and God himself said he 0:39:46.280 --> 0:39:50.600 will have war with Amelek in every generation. Well, last 0:39:50.680 --> 0:39:55.759 generation was Hitler. This generation, the Amelek is Iran. The 0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:59.360 very word Amelek means a nation who chops up body 0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:03.920 parts toughs off heads, which is exactly what Hamas did 0:40:04.200 --> 0:40:07.240 back on October seventh of twenty twenty three. 0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:11.120 And isis has been famous for doing the same thing. 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:15.840 Absolutely, that's that is the spirit, And I really believe 0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:19.719 prophetically this is the last battle with Amelek before the 0:40:19.880 --> 0:40:23.240 Messiah comes. We are definitely living in these last days, 0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:24.480 all right. 0:40:25.239 --> 0:40:27.800 So, but like you said, it depends on how you 0:40:27.920 --> 0:40:32.040 want to interpret the word war there was there. There 0:40:32.080 --> 0:40:36.160 have been plots foiled, there have been plots perpetrated. Are 0:40:36.280 --> 0:40:41.440 these attacks just little battles in this war that continues 0:40:41.760 --> 0:40:44.200 that we're seeing the terrorist attacks in the light? 0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:45.520 Oh? 0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:47.719 I think so. I mean even right now, you have 0:40:48.320 --> 0:40:50.480 the left against the right, that kind of a war 0:40:50.640 --> 0:40:53.719 going on. You have the war against illegal immigrants going on. 0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:57.400 I mean, there's a lot of you know, civil so 0:40:57.600 --> 0:41:00.359 to speak, type of wars that are going on. We're 0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:04.040 seeing bulls. But I really believe the problem with the 0:41:04.160 --> 0:41:07.239 Nigeria thing that's happened. I don't know people know this, 0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:10.479 but not only is it a wan Christians, there's also 0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:13.880 a war on moderate Muslims. Over sixty thousand Muslims have 0:41:14.000 --> 0:41:19.360 also been killed. What it is, it's radical Islam that 0:41:19.640 --> 0:41:23.040 is causing death and it's happening worldwide. We see the 0:41:23.400 --> 0:41:27.160 huge election of people here in the United States Islamis 0:41:27.680 --> 0:41:31.880 that have been recently voted in, and we see Sharia 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.520 law that's coming in the city south of Dallas where 0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:39.160 they're trying to implement that a whole Sharia city. 0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:44.440 Okay, it wouldn't surprise me if it we're in Minnesota 0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:49.319 or Michigan when there's a large Islamic population. But if 0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:53.680 you say things like this, Mark Bilts, you're instantly cast 0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:59.360 as an islamophobe. You're instantly you're instantly portrayed as someone 0:41:59.400 --> 0:42:03.400 who thinks every Muslim is a terrorist. And that's not 0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:05.640 what you're saying, That's not what I believe. 0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:08.840 But it is exactly I said that it's. 0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:11.759 Muslims for Heaven. 0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:15.360 Right, exactly. I mean Hitler killed lots of Germans that 0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:18.759 weren't Jewish, exactly. 0:42:19.360 --> 0:42:23.280 I'm not an islamophobe at all. I am a phobia 0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:26.480 against people getting their hips toped off. Okay, that's what 0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:27.360 I worry about. 0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:29.760 Not a big fan radical Islam. 0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:34.200 And there's nothing wrong with being a radical islamophobe. 0:42:34.960 --> 0:42:38.640 Yeah, no doubt, no doubt about it. So how do 0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:44.320 we how do we preserve ourselves in a time of 0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:48.840 war like this? How do we protect ourselves? How do 0:42:48.920 --> 0:42:52.120 we fight the battle that is coming or is already here. 0:42:52.239 --> 0:42:54.680 Oh, that's that's a that's a great question because I 0:42:54.760 --> 0:42:57.239 think we have to realize it's more than a physical war. 0:42:57.280 --> 0:42:59.880 It's a spiritual war that's going on. It's a war 0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:03.800 between life and death. And this is where people have 0:43:03.960 --> 0:43:06.879 to see it. Well. Too many Christians back down. They're 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:11.440 afraid to fight. And I really believe that this is 0:43:11.480 --> 0:43:14.239 the time when we really have to stand up. This 0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:17.200 is why the whole world bows to radical Islam because 0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:20.799 they're afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm almost died so many 0:43:20.880 --> 0:43:23.319 times I've lost count I'm seventy years old. I've had 0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:27.040 guns at my head twice, been a major car accidents, 0:43:27.120 --> 0:43:30.200 plain accidents, and I tell you I almost eat by 0:43:30.320 --> 0:43:33.400 lions in South Africa. I'm not afraid of anything. I 0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:34.760 realize if it's not my time. 0:43:34.680 --> 0:43:35.439 Is not going to happen. 0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.680 So I'm ready to do everything we can. 0:43:39.640 --> 0:43:44.400 Uh Ephesians six ten. Tony talks about putting on the 0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:45.960 armor of God. And that's what you say, And it's 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:49.960 not just a physical battle, a kinetic battle that you 0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:52.200 think of when a lot of people think of war, 0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:56.080 but it's a spiritual battle. It says, be strong in 0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:59.000 the Lord, in his mighty power. Put on the full 0:43:59.239 --> 0:44:01.760 armor of God so that you can take your stand 0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:05.840 against the devil's schemes. Our struggle is not against flesh 0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:08.520 and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against 0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:11.280 the powers, of this dark world and against the spiritual 0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:15.480 forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on 0:44:15.600 --> 0:44:16.680 the full armor of God. 0:44:17.080 --> 0:44:20.360 There you go. And this is why the Church is 0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:24.719 settlements understanding that burst because they see the armor of 0:44:24.800 --> 0:44:27.600 God is some Roman soldier costume. It's always been cast 0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:31.160 that way, but you just wear spiritual warfare. I have 0:44:31.280 --> 0:44:33.680 in one of my books the armor of God really 0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:38.160 is the priestly garments. The priestly garments in Hebrew were 0:44:38.280 --> 0:44:43.920 designed for warfare, and the breastplate wasn't a Roman soldier's breastplate. 0:44:44.040 --> 0:44:46.439 It was the breastplate of the high priest for Heaven's sake. 0:44:46.840 --> 0:44:49.120 And so the church has been That's why there's so many, 0:44:49.480 --> 0:44:52.200 so much friendly fire and the church, they're all out 0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:55.080 there killing each other instead of praying for one another. 0:44:55.960 --> 0:45:00.279 So what else do you talk about in America war 0:45:00.680 --> 0:45:02.719 the book that I mentioned at the top of. 0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:06.520 The interview, Yes, exactly. And this is why people need 0:45:06.560 --> 0:45:08.520 to get it now, because we're still going through twenty 0:45:08.600 --> 0:45:11.759 twenty six. I'm the only one on this planet who 0:45:11.880 --> 0:45:15.040 in twenty twenty three said that I Ran would attack Israel. 0:45:15.080 --> 0:45:17.680 In April of twenty twenty four, even mentioned a month 0:45:18.080 --> 0:45:20.600 and the day is the very day that I ran 0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:25.360 started this. But anyway, I'm saying there's going to be 0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:27.480 war here. I really believe you're going to see China 0:45:27.600 --> 0:45:31.000 attacking Taiwan next year. I think you could see North 0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:34.360 Korea attacking South Korea next year. I think with the 0:45:34.440 --> 0:45:36.759 elections here this next year, you're going to see a 0:45:36.800 --> 0:45:40.680 whole lot of civil warfare going on, and people need 0:45:40.760 --> 0:45:42.960 to get rety, they need to be prepared. 0:45:44.440 --> 0:45:47.680 Do do you think that, for example, the assassination of 0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:50.040 Charlie Kirk was a part of this war. 0:45:50.920 --> 0:45:56.640 The spiritual warfare? Absolutely absolutely. The climate is changing, and 0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:58.919 I see some Christians as starting. 0:45:58.640 --> 0:46:01.160 To rise up with all of this. 0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:06.000 So I'm really see the spiritual environment has changed, and 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.640 I think you're going to see it more, you know, 0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:11.160 in another week or so. Once twenty twenty six hits 0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:16.000 and people start focusing ahead, looking toward the elections and 0:46:16.040 --> 0:46:20.640 everything that's going on. Even with Iran and Israel. There 0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:25.440 is a total lunar eclipse coming up on Perum in March, 0:46:26.000 --> 0:46:29.160 and I believe that's another indication we're very well could 0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:33.120 see a war with Israel Iran in the US involved. 0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.960 Today President Trump is meeting with Benjamin Nett and Yahoo. 0:46:37.080 --> 0:46:39.919 You talk about the physical kinetic wars that are going 0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:45.160 on and the battle that continues against Hamas. Why hasn't 0:46:45.239 --> 0:46:48.879 Israel been allowed to go ahead and just totally take 0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:51.480 out Jimas in Gaza? Do you think? 0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:53.600 Oh Man? 0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:54.360 Politics? 0:46:54.440 --> 0:46:57.560 Politics? You know, And my concern for Trump is that 0:46:57.760 --> 0:47:01.960 he caves in and allows Turkey and Cutter to bring 0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:04.239 in troops because they're not going to rebuild Gospa, They're 0:47:04.239 --> 0:47:07.399 going to rebuild Moss and so I have a big 0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:11.920 concern that our States Department and our government may allow 0:47:12.120 --> 0:47:16.080 Hutter to come in, which Israel will not allow. So 0:47:16.600 --> 0:47:20.360 I just hope that Trump doesn't cave in the terrorists. 0:47:22.280 --> 0:47:25.040 Do you think that it was a bad idea for 0:47:25.200 --> 0:47:29.240 President Trump to make deals with all these Middle Eastern 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:33.120 countries to try and end this conflict with Iran and 0:47:34.120 --> 0:47:37.560 the further contract conflict with Hamas and Hezballah. 0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:41.520 I don't think there's anything wrong with it as long 0:47:41.760 --> 0:47:45.480 as he stays within biblical guidelines. In my book, and 0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:48.200 this is what it's so important. What most Christians can 0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:52.200 be deceived by is the fact that King Solomon was 0:47:52.280 --> 0:47:56.279 a type of Antichrist, not Christ. He even was the 0:47:56.400 --> 0:48:00.719 first one who offered to Israel and half make a 0:48:00.760 --> 0:48:03.480 two states illusion. He was willing to give half of 0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:07.840 the cities in Galilee to Hiram, king of Tire, for 0:48:08.000 --> 0:48:12.120 Heaven's sake. Uh So Solomon made peace, Yeah, but he 0:48:12.400 --> 0:48:18.280 wasn't a good king. He made peace through making unbiblical covenants. 0:48:19.080 --> 0:48:23.960 So the wisdom of Solomon wasn't necessarily biblical wisdom, is 0:48:24.000 --> 0:48:24.600 what you're saying. 0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:27.719 It was horrible. As a matter of fact, you do 0:48:27.800 --> 0:48:31.239 on revelation it says, here's wisdom. The number of his name, 0:48:31.440 --> 0:48:33.920 you know, is six six six. Well, guess what is 0:48:34.000 --> 0:48:37.200 recorded in the first King's four The amount of gold 0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:40.359 that came into Solomon every year was six six, six 0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:45.080 hundred talents of goals. There is a definite connection between 0:48:45.360 --> 0:48:49.840 Solomon as an Antichrist not a Christ. And in my 0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:53.200 I have several books, one of them decoding the Antichrist, 0:48:53.360 --> 0:48:54.160 or I talk about that. 0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:57.960 All right. So but you're saying there are several Antichrists, 0:48:58.040 --> 0:48:58.879 there's not just one. 0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:02.040 Well, yeah, and see the apostle John wrote in the 0:49:02.120 --> 0:49:06.120 Third John that all the Antichrist came from within the body, 0:49:06.239 --> 0:49:09.640 within the Church. People keep thinking that the Antichrist is 0:49:09.719 --> 0:49:11.759 going to be a Muslim. Now he's going to be 0:49:11.800 --> 0:49:14.960 a professing Christian. And I have a new book coming 0:49:15.040 --> 0:49:18.680 out with chrismon June called The Final Tyrant and explain 0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:21.760 how the Antichrist is going to be a believer, supposedly 0:49:22.400 --> 0:49:25.960 a fake Christian and so that's why the church is. 0:49:25.960 --> 0:49:26.720 Going to be deceived. 0:49:26.840 --> 0:49:30.600 Who would be deceived by a muddler Antichrist? For Heaven's sake, 0:49:30.840 --> 0:49:32.960 that's like saying, if you got one hundred dollars bill 0:49:33.080 --> 0:49:35.680 with itold a face on it, you would fall for it. 0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:36.359 How dumb? 0:49:36.719 --> 0:49:36.799 Well. 0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:40.960 I've always said that the devil won't be some ugly 0:49:41.400 --> 0:49:45.279 fire spitting beast, you got it it, It'll be a 0:49:45.360 --> 0:49:48.960 beautiful woman in a pair of American jeans. 0:49:49.640 --> 0:49:52.439 No, they're very well good.

And now he's here because 1:01:30.440 --> 1:01:33.080 well I needed some help, and I needed help from 1:01:33.200 --> 1:01:36.600 him because he's one of the pre eminent sports voices 1:01:37.000 --> 1:01:39.720 ever on the airwaves in Cincinnati. And he's back again. 1:01:40.200 --> 1:01:41.400 Andy Furman, how are you? 1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:42.840 You know? 1:01:42.920 --> 1:01:45.000 I wasn't gonna go on with you. Honestly, I kind 1:01:45.000 --> 1:01:47.320 of enjoyed the introt every week to get Loman alonga 1:01:47.360 --> 1:01:50.160 but I listened to the segment's sport report, Yeah, and 1:01:50.280 --> 1:01:52.920 he missed the biggest breaking story that's going on what 1:01:53.360 --> 1:01:57.040 tomorrow night downtown Cincinnati. The Harlem globetrot is a coming 1:01:57.080 --> 1:02:00.560 to town. It's their one hundredth year anniversary tool. All right, 1:02:00.920 --> 1:02:04.360 And my good friend, the Angelique Waife, who played basketball 1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:08.560 collegiate basketball at Brooklyn's Long Island University, is a member 1:02:08.640 --> 1:02:11.480 of the Washington Generals, And I'm going tomorrow night to 1:02:11.560 --> 1:02:12.520 see the Angelique. 1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:14.680 How do you like that the team that always gets 1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:17.080 beat by the Harlem Globetrotters. 1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:21.120 Well, they last won in nineteen seventy one in Martin, Tennessee, 1:02:21.280 --> 1:02:24.840 one hundred to ninety nine. They've lost two thousand, four 1:02:24.880 --> 1:02:28.600 hundred and ninety six consecutive games, including two games last 1:02:28.640 --> 1:02:29.840 week in South Carolina. 1:02:30.440 --> 1:02:34.160 But is is the Angelique proud of this record that. 1:02:36.560 --> 1:02:39.240 Both of their last week? And since she's from Brooklyn, 1:02:39.280 --> 1:02:41.400 there was a story in last week's Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1:02:41.760 --> 1:02:44.720 and she claims that there are many people that try 1:02:44.760 --> 1:02:46.640 out for the Trotters. As she did try out for 1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:49.440 the Trotters, they can be promoted from the generals to 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:51.960 the Trottas. And I believe that she eventually will be 1:02:52.040 --> 1:02:53.000 a Harlem Globetrotter. 1:02:53.400 --> 1:02:57.080 Without the Harlem Globetrotters, there would be no Savannah Bananas. 1:02:57.600 --> 1:02:58.160 Is that true? 1:02:58.480 --> 1:02:59.919 I agree? I agree. 1:03:00.120 --> 1:03:03.120 I mean, the the baseball version of the Globals. I 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:04.720 don't know where the Globe Trotters went. 1:03:04.600 --> 1:03:05.120 Off the rail. 1:03:05.440 --> 1:03:07.560 They were the biggest thing around, I mean, and I 1:03:07.600 --> 1:03:09.760 don't know if basketball is not as popular or they 1:03:09.920 --> 1:03:12.640 changed their their method of performing. 1:03:12.720 --> 1:03:17.200 I don't know, maybe the audience, Maybe the audiences have changed. Dandy, 1:03:17.320 --> 1:03:18.320 did you ever consider that? 1:03:18.960 --> 1:03:21.480 I think kids love that. I'm telling you, kids love 1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:24.200 to see that. I think they don't really play basketball 1:03:24.320 --> 1:03:26.800 much anymore. They stop and they do games, and they 1:03:27.000 --> 1:03:30.440 dance and they singing. Just play a game. Play the 1:03:30.520 --> 1:03:33.280 game the way We're Metal Lock played and Sweet Lou 1:03:33.400 --> 1:03:36.880 Lung Sweet Blue Dumb Bar played. They played basketball and 1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:39.720 they were really talented and they even if they had 1:03:39.760 --> 1:03:41.960 the truck shots and stuff like that. Now they stop 1:03:42.120 --> 1:03:44.840 every several minutes and it's not much of a basketball 1:03:44.920 --> 1:03:45.440 game anymore. 1:03:45.480 --> 1:03:49.920 Really the hollerm Globetrotters were they were weren't they kind 1:03:49.960 --> 1:03:54.880 of the the brainchild of a Jewish man named Abe Saberstein. 1:03:55.320 --> 1:03:58.640 Yes, Abe Stoprostine, Yes, and the and the team that 1:03:58.800 --> 1:04:01.880 basically they're they're a nemesis. I guess you say in 1:04:02.880 --> 1:04:05.960 the Washington Generals was formed by the one and only 1:04:06.120 --> 1:04:08.640 late Red Clots red Klotz. 1:04:10.120 --> 1:04:13.000 Red Klotz sounds like a medical condition. 1:04:13.160 --> 1:04:17.240 Andy, Well, I'm glad I don't happen then, really, so 1:04:17.560 --> 1:04:19.800 you you were actually just a fouting to help out? 1:04:19.880 --> 1:04:22.360 Could have said men, because really that's a big event 1:04:22.440 --> 1:04:24.040 and you know what, they got a heck of a tour. 1:04:24.080 --> 1:04:26.040 They've been around one hundred years, and I couldn't the 1:04:26.040 --> 1:04:28.760 Fincinnati they are two performances tomorrow, I believe at two 1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:31.680 thirty and like about seven o'clock at night, and honestly 1:04:31.920 --> 1:04:35.080 I believe they sell out both, a big drawing spot 1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:35.919 for the club. 1:04:36.400 --> 1:04:39.400 I'm glad you said performances are not games, because they're 1:04:39.440 --> 1:04:41.400 truly really not games. They never work. 1:04:41.640 --> 1:04:42.040 Yeah they are. 1:04:42.160 --> 1:04:45.440 It's a it's a show, really. I mean, if you're 1:04:45.520 --> 1:04:48.240 just the basketblas of the Shinado, don't go. If you 1:04:48.360 --> 1:04:50.439 really want to be enter teams basketball wise and talent, 1:04:50.480 --> 1:04:53.280 and these guys have talent and women that talent. I'm 1:04:53.360 --> 1:04:55.400 excited about ball English. I haven't gone to see the 1:04:55.480 --> 1:04:57.520 Trontas in a couple of years now. When I worked 1:04:57.520 --> 1:05:00.360 at Saint Francis College of Brooklyn, uh, we were the 1:05:00.480 --> 1:05:02.240 Terriers at the time. We had a couple of guys 1:05:02.480 --> 1:05:05.560 who graduated from basketball and did play for the Generals. 1:05:05.640 --> 1:05:08.280 I went when I came to Cincinnati, but other than that, 1:05:08.640 --> 1:05:10.520 I've stayed away. And that's about maybe eighteen. 1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.360 So what you're saying, what you're saying you're is you've 1:05:13.480 --> 1:05:20.280 always associated yourself with losers. Yeah, so professionals. 1:05:20.320 --> 1:05:21.440 Okay, what is that? 1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:23.400 What does that make me? Andy game? 1:05:25.600 --> 1:05:28.040 So betting on the game no one cares about. 1:05:29.440 --> 1:05:29.600 Right. 1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:35.320 The kid who was drafted by the Detroit Piston several 1:05:35.440 --> 1:05:38.080 years ago went over to play in Turkey and now 1:05:38.120 --> 1:05:40.520 he's going to play back to Balor again. I mean, 1:05:40.560 --> 1:05:42.960 come on, really, he's a pro. He's getting pro And 1:05:43.040 --> 1:05:45.240 that's another story for another day. I'll be to get 1:05:45.280 --> 1:05:45.600 into that. 1:05:46.680 --> 1:05:48.880 Let's do that tomorrow night. The pros who are the 1:05:49.120 --> 1:05:53.080 the the athletes who are not student athletes, they're all pros. 1:05:53.800 --> 1:05:55.439 So what does it matter you get paid. 1:05:55.520 --> 1:05:55.920 You're a pro. 1:05:56.200 --> 1:05:57.439 But you know what, here's the deal. 1:05:57.640 --> 1:05:59.720 If you're getting get eeled money, I mean you considered 1:05:59.760 --> 1:06:00.640 a pro, I. 1:06:00.640 --> 1:06:04.040 Would say get money. I would say, I tell you what. 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:06.760 We will go into a further depth tomorrow night on 1:06:06.840 --> 1:06:09.960 the Nightcap. How about that, Andy, I can't I can't wait. 1:06:10.280 --> 1:06:10.600 I can't. 1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:13.320 I can't either because you can't spell. I may have 1:06:13.440 --> 1:06:13.840 to call you. 1:06:14.120 --> 1:06:16.280 I may have to call you from the cloak though, 1:06:16.640 --> 1:06:17.960 I'll go to they have to performance. 1:06:18.000 --> 1:06:18.600 They'll do that. 1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:22.720 You can't spell Furman without f You just remember that 1:06:23.680 --> 1:06:27.240 damn show Gary Jeffan for Willie. Last Monday of the year. 1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:36.760 A blustery day, to be sure, wind chills in the teams, 1:06:37.600 --> 1:06:40.800 winds up to thirty five or forty mile an hour 1:06:40.920 --> 1:06:48.880 GUS power out places. Gee, sounds like winter around the 1:06:48.960 --> 1:06:52.360 tri State. Anyway, we will brave it the best we 1:06:52.520 --> 1:06:56.000 can in this half hour. Our guest is a New 1:06:56.080 --> 1:07:01.400 York Times bestselling author, a former US Navy diver, and 1:07:01.640 --> 1:07:08.120 co founder of the US for the Number four Warriors Foundation, 1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:12.800 and over the last dozen years they've been recognized by 1:07:12.880 --> 1:07:15.520 Congress and the US Senate for helping nearly one hundred 1:07:15.600 --> 1:07:18.880 thousand veterans in their families. That's always a good thing 1:07:18.960 --> 1:07:23.400 in my book. And to talk about that and the 1:07:23.520 --> 1:07:29.040 project that he is embarked upon that you could help 1:07:29.120 --> 1:07:32.560 with is William Craig Reid. William Reid, Good afternoon, and 1:07:32.640 --> 1:07:34.440 welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. How are you. 1:07:36.280 --> 1:07:36.840 Jan great? 1:07:36.920 --> 1:07:39.200 Thanks for having me, No, thanks for being had. 1:07:39.280 --> 1:07:39.680 I love it. 1:07:40.080 --> 1:07:43.440 Happy New Year, just ahead. Hope you had a good Christmas. 1:07:43.520 --> 1:07:45.200 I trust good Christmas. 1:07:45.800 --> 1:07:48.440 Absolutely. It's going to take me all year to diet 1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:50.000 to get rid of everything I ate. 1:07:50.160 --> 1:07:50.919 But it was great. 1:07:51.320 --> 1:07:53.920 Yeah, my blood sugar levels are through the roof. I'm 1:07:53.960 --> 1:07:55.880 glad I don't have a doctor's appointment for the next 1:07:56.000 --> 1:08:00.720 five months. I got time. So tell me about us 1:08:00.840 --> 1:08:04.520 for a Warriors Foundation. What exactly you do to help veterans. 1:08:06.520 --> 1:08:08.720 Well, many years ago, we found that there were a 1:08:08.920 --> 1:08:13.840 number of iMac infect thousands of veterans foundations that are 1:08:13.880 --> 1:08:16.800 helping veterans in certain ways, but they were focused on 1:08:16.920 --> 1:08:20.040 specific areas, and we decided that we wanted to be 1:08:20.120 --> 1:08:23.880 able to help the entire veteran community and most important 1:08:23.880 --> 1:08:28.360 to their families. Today, we've got about sixty percent of 1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:30.559 the US population has a. 1:08:30.720 --> 1:08:32.160 Relative of a veteran. 1:08:33.000 --> 1:08:37.640 But of course there are family members that are having difficulties, 1:08:37.680 --> 1:08:39.080 and so we wanted to be able to reach out 1:08:39.120 --> 1:08:42.479 to them, not only help them where they are, whether 1:08:42.560 --> 1:08:45.960 that is for food or work or in other ways, 1:08:46.080 --> 1:08:48.880 but also not just give them a hand out, but 1:08:49.000 --> 1:08:51.200 also give them a hand up. And so that's what 1:08:51.280 --> 1:08:53.599 the foundation is focused on for the past dozen years. 1:08:54.400 --> 1:08:59.440 So I mean as far as making them self reliant 1:09:00.439 --> 1:09:02.120 instead of relying on someone else. 1:09:03.479 --> 1:09:06.639 Basically that's that's absolutely correct. 1:09:06.680 --> 1:09:11.080 So instead of just giving them a fish for a days, well. 1:09:11.240 --> 1:09:14.960 Fish for life. So you've launched a music fundraiser, tell 1:09:15.000 --> 1:09:15.960 me how that works. 1:09:18.040 --> 1:09:20.799 Well, as you know, I had written a number of books, 1:09:21.320 --> 1:09:24.320 but I've also written some songs many years ago. Some 1:09:24.400 --> 1:09:25.759 of them I wrote when I was in the Navy 1:09:26.640 --> 1:09:30.360 and recorded several one of them got picked up, never 1:09:30.439 --> 1:09:32.519 went anywhere, but I put them on a shelf and 1:09:32.600 --> 1:09:36.160 forgot about them. And my son actually introduced me to 1:09:36.640 --> 1:09:39.920 AI music production. So I want to stress that I 1:09:40.080 --> 1:09:44.680 wrote the lyrics and the tunes, but then decided. 1:09:44.240 --> 1:09:46.680 To use AI to see if we could produce it 1:09:46.800 --> 1:09:47.160 that way. 1:09:47.760 --> 1:09:52.040 Because we can't afford a studio band, and so we 1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:55.960 now have thirty songs across three albums that we're using 1:09:56.240 --> 1:10:00.559 as a fundraiser. So have some fun, some great music 1:10:00.640 --> 1:10:03.720 I hope people like, and it's a way to get 1:10:03.760 --> 1:10:06.439 the word out there, but also help our foundation help 1:10:06.520 --> 1:10:07.439 more veterans this year. 1:10:07.720 --> 1:10:10.320 You say one song's even been optioned by an award 1:10:10.360 --> 1:10:11.960 winning artist for national release. 1:10:13.920 --> 1:10:14.920 Yes, that's correct. 1:10:15.040 --> 1:10:20.000 So a really hot artist here in California, Presley Aaronson. 1:10:20.600 --> 1:10:24.240 He's won a number of awards and also his latest 1:10:24.280 --> 1:10:30.800 album features Grammy nominee Jimmy Allen, and he also has 1:10:30.880 --> 1:10:34.000 one song with Russell Hitchcock, who's the lead singer Bear 1:10:34.040 --> 1:10:36.599 Supply on some of his albums. He's up and coming, 1:10:37.360 --> 1:10:40.960 and he is optioned one of the songs called Divided Lines, 1:10:41.280 --> 1:10:43.639 and so that will be put out by him here 1:10:43.960 --> 1:10:44.760 this next month. 1:10:45.000 --> 1:10:49.080 I've got a friend who's a Nashville songwriter, published Nashville 1:10:49.160 --> 1:10:53.920 songwriter has several hits that he has either written or 1:10:54.000 --> 1:10:59.320 co written by other artists, and he sent me it's 1:10:59.320 --> 1:11:01.760 odd that we're talking. He sent me last week one 1:11:01.800 --> 1:11:04.960 of the new songs he's written, and he wrote the 1:11:05.040 --> 1:11:10.479 lyrics himself and had the melody down, but also didn't 1:11:10.520 --> 1:11:13.120 have time to find a band to get it produced, 1:11:13.200 --> 1:11:15.920 to demo it to other art to pitch it to 1:11:16.000 --> 1:11:21.280 other artists, and he used AI and it sounded really cool. 1:11:21.640 --> 1:11:26.240 I'm not a huge artificial intelligence fan, necessarily of it 1:11:26.960 --> 1:11:33.160 taking over everything and reducing our humanity to you know, 1:11:34.080 --> 1:11:37.599 a memory or something for the history books. But tell 1:11:37.680 --> 1:11:40.400 me how you think I from your experience, how how 1:11:40.520 --> 1:11:45.639 AI is reshaping music and broader more broadly, our lives. 1:11:47.840 --> 1:11:52.160 I was very skeptical when I started, too, and also 1:11:53.560 --> 1:11:59.400 foundationally felt that maybe AI could be an issue. But 1:11:59.760 --> 1:12:05.360 I I'm pleasantly surprised. But I think it's also very 1:12:05.479 --> 1:12:08.960 difficult to produce something of great quality unless you really 1:12:09.120 --> 1:12:12.160 know what you're doing. It's taken me about a year 1:12:12.240 --> 1:12:14.160 now to really understand how to do it, and I 1:12:14.280 --> 1:12:17.560 have quite a bit of AI experience. You have to 1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:22.200 understand how to prompt it, where the weaknesses, to ensure 1:12:22.240 --> 1:12:27.160 that it's done correctly, but also your lyrics. It's really 1:12:27.320 --> 1:12:32.560 important to get those correct because bad lyrics result in 1:12:32.760 --> 1:12:38.040 bad outputs, and the tonation and your pacing and all 1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:39.160 of that has to be just. 1:12:39.280 --> 1:12:41.040 Right in order for AI to do it correctly. 1:12:41.840 --> 1:12:43.960 I've learned all this over the past year and so 1:12:44.760 --> 1:12:46.960 a lot of trial and error, but if you get 1:12:46.960 --> 1:12:49.519 it right over time, you can actually come out with 1:12:49.600 --> 1:12:50.400 something pretty cool. 1:12:50.680 --> 1:12:53.080 Well, how did you go? And you wrote a lot 1:12:53.160 --> 1:12:55.439 of these songs, you said while you were in the navy. 1:12:55.560 --> 1:13:00.960 You've obviously always had an acute interest and some proficiency 1:13:01.040 --> 1:13:03.519 in music. When did the music bug bite you? 1:13:03.640 --> 1:13:03.920 Will you? 1:13:06.000 --> 1:13:06.639 Many years ago? 1:13:06.760 --> 1:13:09.439 My father was in the Navy, and for one of 1:13:09.560 --> 1:13:12.639 my birthdays, when I was a young pup, he bought 1:13:12.680 --> 1:13:15.400 me a guitar and taught me how to play, and 1:13:15.520 --> 1:13:18.920 so that's when I got the bug. My sister also 1:13:20.000 --> 1:13:22.680 has written a number of songs over the years, and 1:13:22.960 --> 1:13:27.479 she also taught me some things. And I was in 1:13:27.680 --> 1:13:30.160 choir when I was in high school along with her, 1:13:30.880 --> 1:13:32.960 so I learned a little bit about singing. But I 1:13:33.000 --> 1:13:37.360 wouldn't call myself a Grammy Award winning artist by any stretch. 1:13:37.479 --> 1:13:42.519 But I did have a propensity to write stories, and 1:13:42.800 --> 1:13:46.559 that's what songs are. There's stories in less than four minutes, basically, 1:13:47.560 --> 1:13:50.360 and so that's I think the key to making a 1:13:50.400 --> 1:13:53.040 good song is being able to write a story and 1:13:53.120 --> 1:13:55.160 delivered that and in a very short purity time. 1:13:55.280 --> 1:13:57.000 Well, by the way, there are a lot of Grammy 1:13:57.000 --> 1:13:59.599 Award winning artists that I wouldn't say I would give 1:13:59.600 --> 1:14:03.920 an a hole. So just because you're not necessarily a 1:14:04.000 --> 1:14:08.200 Grammy Award winning singer, that's okay. I myself have probably 1:14:08.280 --> 1:14:12.000 been responsible for writing or co writing about one hundred songs, 1:14:12.720 --> 1:14:15.880 of which ten or eleven I think are pretty good. 1:14:16.200 --> 1:14:18.720 I've never used AI, though it's been quite a while 1:14:18.800 --> 1:14:22.400 since I've done anything new. How do you think veterans 1:14:22.640 --> 1:14:27.400 are uniquely positioned to lead ethical AI adoption? As we 1:14:27.560 --> 1:14:33.759 move at a gosh at a hypersonic pace towards AI 1:14:34.800 --> 1:14:38.920 being involved in everything, how are veterans acutely positioned? 1:14:40.840 --> 1:14:43.600 Well, we've helped thousands of veterans of the years, not 1:14:43.720 --> 1:14:48.439 only transition, but also through helping them in terms of 1:14:48.520 --> 1:14:52.400 finding work and small business owners to get their businesses 1:14:52.439 --> 1:14:55.760 off the ground and going. And what we found is 1:14:55.880 --> 1:15:02.000 that obviously we come from a a difficult situation in 1:15:02.080 --> 1:15:05.439 many cases, but we've learned disciplines, and we've learned how 1:15:05.520 --> 1:15:07.960 to follow orders, but we've also learned how to lead. 1:15:08.800 --> 1:15:12.240 And then I've always laughed when veterans has said that 1:15:12.400 --> 1:15:15.519 they were told by employers that they didn't have management 1:15:15.560 --> 1:15:21.519 skills when they were leading thousands of other individuals through 1:15:21.680 --> 1:15:22.559 combat zones. 1:15:23.160 --> 1:15:25.839 So yeah, of course they have leadership skills. 1:15:26.040 --> 1:15:28.599 I mean when you're dealing when you're dealing with life 1:15:28.760 --> 1:15:33.760 or death, or you're dealing with the next big sales project. 1:15:34.040 --> 1:15:38.160 I think if you've got experience leading people through life 1:15:38.200 --> 1:15:42.599 and death situations, you can probably manage a sales pitch 1:15:42.760 --> 1:15:44.080 or a boardroom. 1:15:45.520 --> 1:15:46.200 Well exactly. 1:15:46.280 --> 1:15:49.880 And I remember being interviewed by folks over the years 1:15:49.920 --> 1:15:52.240 earlier in my career and they would ask me, can 1:15:52.320 --> 1:15:53.080 you handle stress? 1:15:53.520 --> 1:15:56.479 I would laugh and say try being a navy diver 1:15:56.640 --> 1:15:57.080 for a day. 1:15:57.720 --> 1:16:03.000 But I think better are uniquely positioned with AI because 1:16:03.840 --> 1:16:07.760 of that past experience, Whereas others who maybe don't have 1:16:08.080 --> 1:16:12.800 those kinds of foundations see it as fearsome. They don't 1:16:13.120 --> 1:16:16.519 understand how this might be able to benefit their job. 1:16:16.600 --> 1:16:20.120 They maybe think it'll take their job away. And veterans 1:16:20.160 --> 1:16:22.560 have learned to deal with that kind of fear and 1:16:22.720 --> 1:16:25.200 to say, hey, you know what, let's see how we 1:16:25.320 --> 1:16:30.400 can take that next hill correctly using AI. How can 1:16:30.439 --> 1:16:32.519 it benefit us? How can it ensure that we have 1:16:33.120 --> 1:16:37.720 better working situation and foundation. So I think they have 1:16:37.800 --> 1:16:40.080 a unique position to be able to do that. 1:16:40.680 --> 1:16:44.760 All right, Oh, now you just mentioned and this is 1:16:44.880 --> 1:16:47.400 the question that's been on everybody's mind that's still in 1:16:47.479 --> 1:16:51.360 the workforce. Which jobs, with your experience do you think 1:16:51.720 --> 1:16:56.680 AI will replace or enhance? I mean, it's one thing 1:16:56.760 --> 1:16:59.920 to enhance, but to replace that is the big worry 1:17:00.000 --> 1:17:02.880 a lot of people have, and mine included. I mean, 1:17:04.040 --> 1:17:07.439 they're doing so much with with audio and video. Now 1:17:08.680 --> 1:17:11.280 that you know, video didn't kill the radio star, but 1:17:11.400 --> 1:17:15.360 AI may. So what jobs do you think that AI 1:17:15.520 --> 1:17:19.639 will replace or enhance? Because it certainly won't be jobs 1:17:19.800 --> 1:17:25.760 like a plumber for example, or doing doing major construction. 1:17:26.080 --> 1:17:30.120 I think that AI is going to overtake and those 1:17:30.280 --> 1:17:33.920 jobs are very important, and as far as giving veterans 1:17:34.080 --> 1:17:37.080 a hand up, teaching those kind of things is important 1:17:37.280 --> 1:17:38.519 as well, don't you think? 1:17:40.439 --> 1:17:40.639 Yes? 1:17:40.760 --> 1:17:41.400 Absolutely. 1:17:41.560 --> 1:17:45.680 And one of the companies that was launched based on 1:17:45.880 --> 1:17:49.360 the science that I wrote about, it's called Herman's Science. 1:17:49.439 --> 1:17:53.519 It's all one word, Herman Science that provides junior tove 1:17:53.560 --> 1:17:59.000 AI training courses. And that's my recommendation to those who 1:17:59.760 --> 1:18:03.479 fee year for their jobs is to learn how to 1:18:03.680 --> 1:18:08.120 embrace AI. It's not going away, obviously, and there's not 1:18:08.280 --> 1:18:10.200 much you can do about what jobs are going to 1:18:10.280 --> 1:18:15.360 be replaced. But if you learn how to properly prompt 1:18:15.560 --> 1:18:19.040 and use AI and use it in your work experience, 1:18:19.800 --> 1:18:22.560 and you get certified through a course like this, like 1:18:22.680 --> 1:18:26.479 with therm and science, et cetera, then you can position 1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:30.880 yourself to be able to move into those positions where 1:18:31.840 --> 1:18:37.080 those skills are critical and they're getting very high salaries 1:18:37.680 --> 1:18:40.559 and they're in great demand. So learn how to use 1:18:40.600 --> 1:18:45.240 AI properly across all kinds of disciplines, from marketing to sales, 1:18:46.040 --> 1:18:47.320 to accounting. 1:18:46.960 --> 1:18:48.160 To even coding. 1:18:48.320 --> 1:18:52.120 Now, if you use those skills properly, you can not 1:18:52.240 --> 1:18:54.000 a keeper job, but get better jobs. 1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:57.960 How long were you in the Navy and in what 1:18:58.160 --> 1:18:59.280 period of time will you? 1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:01.840 Six years? 1:19:01.880 --> 1:19:05.960 And during the Cold War, so not long before there 1:19:06.200 --> 1:19:08.920 wasn't a Cold War, So during that period of time 1:19:09.640 --> 1:19:12.760 I was in and served the board submarines as well, 1:19:12.840 --> 1:19:14.120 but also as a navy diver. 1:19:15.960 --> 1:19:19.920 One of your best selling books that I was just 1:19:20.200 --> 1:19:23.479 kind of caught my eye here as we're talking, is 1:19:23.520 --> 1:19:26.120 a book called Spies of the Deep that you wrote 1:19:26.560 --> 1:19:32.000 without the aid of AI. I'm assuming the untold truth 1:19:33.760 --> 1:19:38.040 about the most terrifying incident in submarine naval history and 1:19:38.160 --> 1:19:41.880 how Putin used the tragedy to ignite a new Cold War. 1:19:42.360 --> 1:19:46.439 Tell me about that just for a moment, if you would, yes. 1:19:46.520 --> 1:19:49.640 And that was written before AI had the scene right 1:19:49.760 --> 1:19:52.040 in the way it's being used now, So. 1:19:52.160 --> 1:19:53.000 No AI used there. 1:19:53.439 --> 1:19:57.879 But the prequel to that was the book Read November, 1:19:58.640 --> 1:20:01.639 which was more about the the Cold War, what happened 1:20:01.720 --> 1:20:04.720 during the Cold War and some of the top secret missions. 1:20:04.400 --> 1:20:04.840 And so on. 1:20:05.600 --> 1:20:09.040 Spies of Deep Is call it a sequel to that book, 1:20:09.560 --> 1:20:09.800 and it. 1:20:09.920 --> 1:20:15.560 Is more about post Cold War and starting with the 1:20:15.760 --> 1:20:18.679 loss of the submarine Curse, which went down in August 1:20:18.720 --> 1:20:21.560 of two thousand and What most people don't know is 1:20:21.680 --> 1:20:26.800 that for a year prior to that, the curse went on, 1:20:27.080 --> 1:20:30.720 a number of missions got right up close to one 1:20:30.760 --> 1:20:32.400 of our US carriers. 1:20:32.000 --> 1:20:35.240 And Putin used that to campaign. 1:20:35.479 --> 1:20:38.360 He went from about two percent of the vote to 1:20:38.840 --> 1:20:42.960 fifty two percent plus of the vote within six months 1:20:44.040 --> 1:20:47.320 by campaigning on what the curse did and saying he 1:20:47.439 --> 1:20:49.519 was going to bring back the military and bring back 1:20:49.560 --> 1:20:53.760 greatness to Russia. He obviously won and then the curse 1:20:53.880 --> 1:21:00.479 went down in August, and then he actually use that 1:21:01.320 --> 1:21:05.240 to further his campaign, but he wrested control from the 1:21:05.320 --> 1:21:10.920 oligarchs and the energy companies, used those billions then to 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:15.240 fuel his own wealth, but also to refuel Russia's wealth, 1:21:15.479 --> 1:21:19.519 and that reignited the Cold war that we are currently in. 1:21:19.600 --> 1:21:20.960 And if you don't think we're in a cold war, 1:21:21.040 --> 1:21:23.000 you're not paying much attention to the news. 1:21:23.760 --> 1:21:26.840 No, and they threatened to make it hot all the time, 1:21:27.760 --> 1:21:32.599 just depending on who's in office and who's rattling the saber. 1:21:34.360 --> 1:21:38.040 What's your latest book? Will you your most recent? 1:21:39.560 --> 1:21:42.680 Yes, I'm now writing some business books and so my 1:21:42.800 --> 1:21:45.720 latest book is called Start with Who, and if you've 1:21:45.760 --> 1:21:49.320 ever read Simon Sinex Start with Why. 1:21:50.200 --> 1:21:50.759 Great book. 1:21:51.520 --> 1:21:54.920 This is taking that to the next level and it 1:21:55.040 --> 1:21:58.880 talks about business storytelling and using neuroscience in that area. 1:22:00.200 --> 1:22:03.639 Have a number of things related to veterans and also 1:22:04.439 --> 1:22:07.400 the military and how it's been used in the military 1:22:07.479 --> 1:22:08.560 in many aspects. 1:22:09.160 --> 1:22:11.400 So that's the latest book. That's how to Start with Who. 1:22:11.840 --> 1:22:15.519 How would you describe the music that you produced with 1:22:15.640 --> 1:22:18.600 the help of AI. What kind of genre would you 1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.360 say it fits into if it fits into any genre 1:22:21.400 --> 1:22:21.680 at all. 1:22:23.680 --> 1:22:26.519 It's across number of genres, from rock to pop, a 1:22:26.560 --> 1:22:30.560 little bit of alternative rock. Actually wrote co wrote a 1:22:30.600 --> 1:22:32.439 couple of songs with my son, he's a little more 1:22:32.479 --> 1:22:35.400 in alternative rock. And then we have some country with 1:22:35.560 --> 1:22:38.800 a little bit of Christian overtones into that as well. 1:22:39.439 --> 1:22:43.439 Cool and some singer songwriter. One song I wrote for 1:22:43.560 --> 1:22:45.639 my mom after I went to the Navy, one song 1:22:45.680 --> 1:22:48.000 I wrote about the curse that submarine that I mentioned 1:22:48.040 --> 1:22:52.000 that went down, and one song about nine to eleven. 1:22:52.120 --> 1:22:56.360 And then we have a Christmas song about based on 1:22:56.400 --> 1:22:59.400 a true story about young girl who's missing her father 1:22:59.479 --> 1:23:02.840 who served me. We have one song that's a cheer 1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:05.639 jerker and that's also based on a true story about 1:23:08.360 --> 1:23:11.200 a gentleman who lost his brother who was a Navy 1:23:11.240 --> 1:23:13.880 seal when he was serving the overseas well. 1:23:14.280 --> 1:23:17.439 You say, this is a music fundraiser for US for 1:23:17.600 --> 1:23:19.960 Warriors Foundation. How can people help? 1:23:22.080 --> 1:23:26.240 So the songs are not quite available yet. There's one 1:23:26.439 --> 1:23:30.560 song that is posted that you will be able to 1:23:30.600 --> 1:23:32.840 find in the next week up on iTunes. 1:23:32.960 --> 1:23:37.479 It's called Into This Silent Night.

Fantastic stooge two on the way in moments. 1:24:43.200 --> 1:24:46.599 I'm Gary Jeff Walker. In This is the Bill Cunningham Show. 1:24:47.120 --> 1:24:52.800 Pounds, Burrow throws, Cody four catches, he's down to the fifty. 1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:54.720 And the ten the five. 1:24:56.760 --> 1:25:02.240 Tackled around the three yard line almost a big man 1:25:02.439 --> 1:25:07.720 TD for the all time highlight Reel as Burrow threw 1:25:07.800 --> 1:25:12.840 it to Cody Ford and the wooly mammoth began running 1:25:12.880 --> 1:25:14.120 down the near sideline. 1:25:17.400 --> 1:25:21.960 Hello, quiet, and I'm spokes I'm broadcasting. 1:25:25.640 --> 1:25:28.160 God, you're very disappointed in Cody Ford.

Probably one of these 1:29:57.080 --> 1:30:01.360 days they will, knowing the technology we have as AI developed. 1:30:01.439 --> 1:30:04.439 You never know, that's true.

But the Bengals win yesterday was nice. Hopefully 1:32:52.560 --> 1:32:54.400 they can finish up the season with three wins in 1:32:54.439 --> 1:32:57.000 a row. So much for so much for the talk 1:32:57.080 --> 1:33:00.600 about the Bengals tanking to get a draft pick. And 1:33:00.720 --> 1:33:01.720 I know there was a guy that. 1:33:01.840 --> 1:33:03.120 Sometimes you have on the air. 1:33:03.280 --> 1:33:05.280 I'm not going to mention his name, but he went. 1:33:05.240 --> 1:33:07.439 On and posted that the Bengals should tank the rest 1:33:07.520 --> 1:33:09.600 of the season to get a better draft pick, that 1:33:09.720 --> 1:33:13.000 Joe Burrow shouldn't play. And Joe Burrow yesterday threw cold 1:33:13.080 --> 1:33:16.280 water over everything and said, I like playing football. I 1:33:16.479 --> 1:33:19.759 like being out there with my guys quarterback. It doesn't 1:33:19.800 --> 1:33:20.879 it wants to play football. 1:33:21.000 --> 1:33:23.519 It doesn't matter what order you pick in the draft. 1:33:23.680 --> 1:33:27.160 It's drafting the right player for your team that's available. 1:33:27.520 --> 1:33:29.360 It doesn't matter if you've got the first pick in 1:33:29.439 --> 1:33:32.360 the draft or the fifth pick or the eighth pick, 1:33:32.520 --> 1:33:34.559 which I guess is where the Bengals are right now. 1:33:34.880 --> 1:33:37.280 I wanted to ask you before you go into any 1:33:37.360 --> 1:33:41.160 more diatribes because I'm hoping that we'll have a double 1:33:41.240 --> 1:33:45.680 dose of the Wild tomorrow on my nightcap. But so 1:33:46.040 --> 1:33:48.800 say you don't want me there, you don't have to 1:33:48.840 --> 1:33:50.640 get it all out at one time. I'll ask you 1:33:50.720 --> 1:33:54.479 the question I asked seg. There's a commercial on where 1:33:54.640 --> 1:33:58.760 people are being made fun of because they're yelling at 1:33:58.840 --> 1:34:02.479 the TV as if the players and the coaches can 1:34:02.560 --> 1:34:03.000 hear them. 1:34:03.720 --> 1:34:04.560 Do you do that? 1:34:04.800 --> 1:34:05.400 Wild man? 1:34:06.160 --> 1:34:09.599 I yell at the announcers like John Sadsack won't shut. 1:34:09.479 --> 1:34:11.240 Up, but they still can't hear you. 1:34:12.080 --> 1:34:16.519 I know, I know, I think I know you probably 1:34:16.640 --> 1:34:20.519 do it. Everybody doesn't. Everybody doesn't, and if they say 1:34:20.560 --> 1:34:22.439 they don't, their liar, they're liars. 1:34:22.600 --> 1:34:25.040 I'm doing a lot. I'm doing it less and less 1:34:25.080 --> 1:34:27.800 as I've come to realize that I don't have a 1:34:27.840 --> 1:34:30.120 smart TV that's got a microphone that's going to go 1:34:30.200 --> 1:34:33.080 directly into their booth as they're calling the game. 1:34:34.160 --> 1:34:36.000 Well, a lot of times I'll just comment they'll say 1:34:36.040 --> 1:34:39.200 something stupid, like the hands team is on the field 1:34:39.200 --> 1:34:41.160 and just waiting for them to say that, because that's 1:34:41.240 --> 1:34:45.000 that's part of their vocabulary. I go, really, really really 1:34:45.040 --> 1:34:47.639 thanks for telling me that. Or you know, they're down 1:34:47.720 --> 1:34:50.080 by five points and they'll say a field goal doesn't 1:34:50.120 --> 1:34:53.640 help them, Like, oh, thanks, thanks for that information.

My 1:35:13.080 --> 1:35:15.679 only other question for you, wild man, something I've always 1:35:15.720 --> 1:35:20.120 wanted to know because you often talk about a case 1:35:20.240 --> 1:35:20.800 of the goo. 1:35:21.960 --> 1:35:26.280 Now do you order this gou online?

Can you buy gou at a 1:35:29.760 --> 1:35:34.360 brick and mortar store or at Walmart or anywhere else? 1:35:35.080 --> 1:35:37.320 How does the goo come to you? Wild man? 1:35:37.560 --> 1:35:40.280 It comes inside you. It comes inside, It builds up 1:35:40.320 --> 1:35:43.000 inside the human body, and that gets to a point 1:35:43.040 --> 1:35:44.519 where you just got to release the goog? 1:35:44.720 --> 1:35:47.800 Can you can you actually define what the goo is? 1:35:48.200 --> 1:35:49.360 Because I've always wondered. 1:35:51.000 --> 1:35:53.800 It's been a little a little, a little unhappy, a 1:35:53.880 --> 1:35:57.920 little angry a little mad. So goo is angry, really mad, 1:35:58.120 --> 1:36:00.240 maybe really mad.
