00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm Michelle Backus alongside Bo Davidson and Emily Finn. We

00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: Again these are early reports.

20
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: We're still continuing to follow this and again the cause

21
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: of the crash is unknown.

22
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: You can see those pictures right there.

23
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: That plane upside down there in Toronto. You can see

24
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: snow covering the ground. Again, still waiting for a report

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: on exactly how this.

26
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: Could have happened.

27
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Everyone has been accounted for, and we are still trying

28
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: to find out the rest of those details. Make sure

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: to stick with us while we figure that out. In

30
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: other news, it has been another busy few days for

31
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: DOGE or the gut Apartment of Government Efficiency.

32
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 5: That's right.

33
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: In an ex post, they revealed that they slashed a

34
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: whopping three hundred and seventy million in taxpayer dollars being

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 4: spent on diversity, equity and inclusion at the Department of Education.

36
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: According to DOJE, the newly slashed grants were huge in number.

37
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 3: Also happening over the weekend, President Trump became the first

38
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: sitting president to attend the Daytona five hundred twice. He

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 3: was joined by some of his family and even brought

40
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 3: his granddaughter on the track with him.

41
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 6: I'm joined now by the President of the United States.

42
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 6: Mister President, five years ago, we were standing in this

43
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 6: very spot. What brings you back to the great American race?

44
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 7: I think it's fantastic. It's great for the country. Our

45
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 7: country is doing well again, and we have spirit.

46
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 8: All over the world.

47
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 7: This spirit again, we brought it back and it's been

48
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 7: less than four weeks, so you'll see what we do

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 7: and in a little period of time it's going to

50
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 7: only get better. But this is very exciting.

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 6: You brought your granddaughter. I know some of your other

52
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 6: family members are here. You get to take a ride

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 6: around and the beast what.

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: Is that like.

55
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 7: I'll let you know in about two minutes speacause it's

56
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 7: going to be They're going to be going quite quickly.

57
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 9: I understand, and.

58
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: I think it's worth noting here Bo Trump brought his

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: granddaughter to the Daytona five hundred. Joe Biden is still

60
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: yet to acknowledge his granddaughter.

61
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's true.

62
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: And I got to say, for someone who has sung

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 3: for NASCAR before and gone a few laps around the

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: track at pay speed, it is exhilarating.

65
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 10: It is fun.

66
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: If you ever get the chance to do it with

67
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: the NASCAR experience, you should do it because it's pretty amazing.

68
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: Air Force one did fly over the track and the

69
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 3: message was clear, we are so back, and as Trump

70
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: drove by the crowd, chanted let's go Brandon.

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 10: You've heard that before. For more on that, let's welcome in.

72
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: James Catula's founder of the Let's Go Brandon crypto Coin,

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: who famously trolled NASCAR three years ago, flying the Let's

74
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 3: Go Brandon ad across the track. James, So, I got

75
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: to get your reaction to seeing Trump back in Daytona yesterday.

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 11: Bill.

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 12: You know, it's kind of a difficult situation for us, right.

78
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 12: Let's Go Brandon Coin was Trump's first crypto. He came

79
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 12: in in March twenty twenty two with Don Junior, a

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 12: couple months after NASCAR had approved US to be the

81
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 12: lead sponsor for Brandon Brown's NASCAR that was supposed to

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 12: run at Daytona in twenty twenty two. NASCAR then rescinded

83
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 12: the sponsorship approval proceeded to libel us about twenty seven

84
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 12: national media outlets say we lied about the approval, made

85
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 12: it up, you know. So they destroyed about five hundred

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 12: million dollars in value for eleven thousand loyal NASCAR conservative fans.

87
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 12: So you know, we've got a five billion dollar lawsuit

88
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 12: pending down here in Miami, sent to go to trial

89
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 12: in June against NASCAR. So you know, you could tell

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 12: they're being opportunistic and that they were very anti Trump,

91
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 12: anti you know, Let's Go Brandon a couple of years ago. Now,

92
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 12: he's back in power, and you know they're pretending to

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 12: be patriotic.

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: So you're suing NASCAR, And where do you ultimately envision

95
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: this going in the next I would say, even five years.

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: What kind of precedent do you think this is going

97
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: to set moving forward?

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 13: Yeah?

99
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 12: I mean, look, we've we've broken a lot of precedent

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 12: with let's.

101
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 13: Go Brandon coin. Right, we were very public.

102
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 12: Against vax mandates, mass mandates, anti social media to platforming

103
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 12: several months before Elon uh really got involved and in

104
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 12: those issues, and you know with buying acts. Uh, you know,

105
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 12: we've got doctor Robert Malone as holders, a lot of

106
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 12: those other doctors who were very early knowing that the

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 12: COVID vaccines actually a negative, negative efficacy and high risk

108
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 12: aside effects. Right, So you know we were cutting edge there,

109
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 12: you know, assuming we'd BEATENASCAR, hopefully we return to be

110
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 12: the you know, the number one political beamcoin and we

111
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 12: could go out and do more advocacy support Elon's efforts

112
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 12: at at does you know, helping combat a lot of

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 12: this craft and uh, you know corruption that the DEMS

114
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 12: have gone through USA and other avenues.

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 3: Well, James, you know, switching gears here, but not really

116
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: too much. The crypto world is only growing under this

117
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 3: pro Trump administration. When you see the future of crypto going,

118
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: I mean it's still I'll admit foreign to me.

119
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 10: To a lot of people, I know it's not.

120
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: But I always ask for someone when we have a

121
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: guest on that's explaining it, to just put it in

122
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 3: layman's terms and tell me what am I missing out

123
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 3: on and what's the future going to be?

124
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 11: Like?

125
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 13: Yeah, you know.

126
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 12: So one of the big problems in crypto historically had

127
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 12: been the lack of any kind of statutes and regulations

128
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 12: that give people a clear framework how to legally comply

129
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 12: with laws and build real functional projects. So because of this,

130
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 12: all these bean cooins proliferated, right like jos was the

131
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 12: first way back in twenty ten. You just saw Trump

132
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 12: call tru trump Coin announced while we were at the

133
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 12: Crypto ball Again, thanks for the heads up, DJT, But

134
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 12: we still love you, right But.

135
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: You know, you know how many people said that to me,

136
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 2: by the way.

137
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 13: A lot, a lot. It's like a mafia hit. He

138
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 13: put us all in the same place. That is like, hey,

139
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 13: we're gonna losch this without you.

140
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 12: But but you know, in all seriously as we were

141
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 12: one mean coin and that have I think done meaningful

142
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 12: things in terms of our advocacy are charitable giving and

143
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 12: our supportive Turning Point and other conservative organizations like that.

144
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 13: But hopefully under Trump, we're.

145
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 12: Going to see an end to all this unconstitutional regulation

146
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 12: by enforcement that's been done by my nemesis Gary Gensler,

147
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 12: who I've successfully sued for about fourteen years now, and

148
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 12: see things like real security tokens that you can actually

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 12: register with the SEC, that have proper disclosure requirements and

150
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 12: internal controls and transparency. So that's really been missing and

151
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 12: every jurisdiction, although the US has those laws.

152
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 13: And those rags.

153
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 12: So Paul Atkins is pegged to be the next SEC chair.

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 12: He's very pro crypto. Brian quint Has who I think

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 12: you met at the Crypto Ball. He was a former

156
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 12: co trader, CFTC commissioner and Andresen Horowitz and is very

157
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 12: pro crypto. So with this pro crypto leadership, we hope

158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 12: to see investor protections and you know, real regulation.

159
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: Going back to that lawsuit with NASCAR and your own

160
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: meme coin here, why did NASCAR ultimately switch gears here

161
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: and flip the script going against you guys.

162
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think they really just cave to pressure from

163
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 12: the woke left. They ignored the fact about eighty five

164
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 12: percent of their fans are conservative. You know, everything was

165
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 12: done properly, they issued it in writing sponsorship approval. It

166
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 12: was very clear the sponsors are approved, you know, But

167
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 12: then they made a lot of malicious statements. I mean,

168
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 12: most famously when USA Today called them, one of their

169
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 12: communications officers asked, what should we do with USA Today

170
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 12: And the answer was, quote, add them to.

171
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 13: The libel list.

172
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 12: Like they literally consciously and discussed, you know, libeling in US.

173
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 12: And again there's eleven thousand fans there. You know, they

174
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 12: destroyed three hundred and eighty million of value in a

175
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 12: single day, about five hundred million in three weeks. And

176
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 12: you know, we haven't forgotten about that. You know, our

177
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 12: fan base is still you know, deeply angry at NASCAR

178
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 12: and very much for you know, looking forward to trial

179
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 12: hopefully the summer in June down in Miami.

180
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 3: James, what's your sense just in a greater, bigger picture

181
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: with respect to professional sports and the way that fans

182
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: and brands interact, and especially the leadership, because you're talking

183
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: about NASCAR. But let's talk about the NFL for a second.

184
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: Apparently there was no inn racism that was in the

185
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: end zones for the Super Bowl.

186
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 10: She love exactly, shees love.

187
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: So is there a changing attitude do you think where

188
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: conservative fans, which is a large part of the sports

189
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: fan base, are going to be at least not attacked

190
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: so much? Do you think do you think we'll see

191
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: a turning of the tide now that Trump is president again?

192
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 12: Well, you're seeing it right, like the NASCAR, you know,

193
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 12: the France, you have a NASCAR is deeply liberal, right,

194
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 12: we're deeply combative against their own conservative fans during the

195
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 12: Biden administration. And you know, I as we see more

196
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 12: of this fraud being unveiled at USAID, I really think

197
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 12: the two are intertwined, right, Like who's benefiting from all

198
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 12: these DEI initiatives with billions of dollars coming from you know,

199
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 12: the US government to support these initiatives? Right, So, even

200
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 12: if you are conservative, even if you believe in conservative politics,

201
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 12: under Biden, it looked to be deeply profitable to go

202
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 12: along with this DEI agenda and attacking conservative as well.

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 12: Now that slush fund is getting shut off, you know,

204
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 12: by Elon and the Doge crew. You know, Trump is

205
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 12: obviously very anti you know DEI, And you know, you're

206
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 12: seeing how popular he is now. Like when I went

207
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 12: to the inauguration back at twenty seventeen, it was like,

208
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 12: you're a secret society if you like Trump, right, you

209
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 12: still couldn't.

210
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 13: Vocalize it, you know.

211
00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 12: Now, you know, after surviving the assassination attempt, after really

212
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 12: trolling kamal effectively with with pop culture things like the

213
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 12: McDonald's appearance, the you know, the driving the garbage truck.

214
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 12: You know, Trump's now cool. Somehow, He's almost eighty years old.

215
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 12: He's cool. You know, he's thinking I was his eighteen.

216
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 13: Year old, cool college kid, who's you know, a crypto.

217
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 9: D jan and stuff.

218
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 13: Right. So I think that his.

219
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 12: Cults of personality has finally you know, infected all these

220
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 12: big organizations that had been on the take from the

221
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 12: US aids of the world, and you know, all this

222
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 12: d I Slashawn money.

223
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 13: So I think we're going to see a lot more

224
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 13: of those.

225
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: And and Bezos and Zuckerberg too, or two people that

226
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 3: have completely flipped their script as well.

227
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: Which we didn't forget where they came from.

228
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 10: Sorry, James, Thanks so much for being with us today.

229
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 10: We appreciate you.

230
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 13: Thanks for having us. Let's go Brandon and coming up.

231
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: There's a battle at the border that President Trump, Tom

232
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: Holman and Ice are winning.

233
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 10: More on that when we return. We'll be right back.

234
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 5: Welcome back to Special Reports.

235
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: The Trump administration has been hard at work cracking down

236
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 4: on immigration, and there has already been a significant impact

237
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: at our southern border. The daily average number of known

238
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 4: godaways is down ninety three percent since the highest numbers

239
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 4: when President Biden was in office.

240
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: For discussion, we want to welcome in our next guest,

241
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: David Scarlett, a former US Marine, the chairman and founder

242
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: of his Lory Ministries, a Christian outreach organization, and the

243
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 3: creator of the film Battle at the Border. David, thank

244
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 3: you for being with us today.

245
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 9: Oh, thank you for having me. It's a pleasure.

246
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: So, David, are these numbers just an example of how

247
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 3: President Trump's policies are actually working in right away?

248
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 14: Yes, exactly, having authority and taking control of it and

249
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 14: showing urgency. This is a national security nightmare, as we

250
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 14: saw in our movie Battle at the Border. I spent

251
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 14: some time with Sheriff Lamb and Sheriff Daniels at the border.

252
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 14: It was far worse than the American people could ever

253
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 14: have driven with fentanyl and terrorists and human trafficking coming

254
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 14: into our country. And Tom Homan's leadership is changing that

255
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 14: and not a moment too soon.

256
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And he's really been attacking this with a bunch

257
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: of different policies. On day one, sign those executive orders,

258
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: they're doing deportation operations, They're trying to send military to

259
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: the border.

260
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: There's a lot going on here. What do you think

261
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 5: has been the most effective so far?

262
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 14: I think exactly what you just said, a combination of

263
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 14: all things. You got to hit quickly, hit hard, and

264
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 14: keep right on hitting. You got to do all the above,

265
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 14: you know, making the cartel a terrorists organization, shutting down

266
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 14: the border, putting urgency to follow the money. Now we

267
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 14: see that there was NGOs that were funding these this

268
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 14: human trafficking right before very ice paid for with taxpayer dollars.

269
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 14: We see that there was religious organizations. You'll see that

270
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 14: in our documentary. We caught them right on video bragging

271
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 14: about how the federal government cuts them a check so

272
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 14: that they could traffic people throughout the United States of America.

273
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: David, Your new film, Battle at the Border and Invasion

274
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: of Purpose takes a deep dive into the tragedy's law

275
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: enforcement agency space every day at our southern border.

276
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 10: We want to play a quick clip of that.

277
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 14: And the sacred mission of shining a light on the

278
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 14: border crisis. We illuminate not only our nation, but the

279
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 14: world with his glory. As stewards of sovereignty, we heed

280
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 14: the call to ensure justice flows.

281
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 9: Within our borders. The power to enact change rests within

282
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 9: the hands of.

283
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 14: Those in authority, yet executive orders remain dormant, and accountability

284
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,239
Speaker 14: seems elusive.

285
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 9: The alarming incidence of violence against law.

286
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 14: Enforcement further underscores the urgent need for decisive paction.

287
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 10: Well, this looks like a very powerful film.

288
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: Why don't you tell us more about it and what

289
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: you learned and what you want viewers to find out

290
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: about this film.

291
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 14: Well, what we learned is that the fake news has

292
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 14: been lying to us for a long time, and they've

293
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 14: been covering up saying that there's not a crisis at

294
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 14: the border. It's not about humans. This is just people

295
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 14: trying to come in to get a better life. That's

296
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,359
Speaker 14: a small part of it. We saw which was heartbreaking

297
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 14: to me, is this young children that were drugged up

298
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 14: to get across the border by cartel, and I would

299
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 14: say sixty percent of the children that we ran across

300
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 14: did not match to the people that they were with.

301
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 14: And when Joe Biden took away the DNA matching up

302
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 14: to the families, that just opened up the door for

303
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 14: more human trafficking.

304
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 9: And it's absolutely a mess.

305
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 14: But to see the horror on these kids' faces, what

306
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 14: these kids have gone through, and knowing that they're not

307
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 14: with their biological parents or relatives and they're just being

308
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 14: trafficked throughout the United States is heart wrenching.

309
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Now, I want to get your take on this.

310
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: President Trump's borders are Tom Holman, I know you brought

311
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 4: him up earlier in our conversation. He said that he's

312
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 4: not satisfied with how the operations have been going so far.

313
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: In a recent interview, he said that there are still

314
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: hundreds of criminal aliens that need to be arrested in

315
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: the United States. I know that getting all of those children,

316
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: those hundreds of thousands of missing children in the United

317
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: States that we know are subjected to trafficking situations, that

318
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 4: also is a main focus. Do you think Holman's being

319
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: a little hard on himself here, I mean to not

320
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: be satisfied they've already accomplished a lot in just a

321
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 4: few weeks.

322
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think Tom Holman is telling you the truth.

323
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 14: You know, he's a straight shooter. He's done a really

324
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 14: good job, but there's more to be had. We had

325
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 14: JJ Carroll on his Glory TV the other day and

326
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 14: he's saying.

327
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 9: That there are terrorists out there.

328
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 14: We know where they're at, you know, military age people

329
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 14: that want to do us harm.

330
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 9: We know where they are, and we're doing We're not

331
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 9: stepping up quick enough to get them out.

332
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 14: And he recommended the military to go in and get

333
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 14: these people out of our.

334
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 9: Country as soon as possible because it's as a king

335
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 9: time bomb. We've known from threats.

336
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 14: Through the Middle East that they may use a nine

337
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 14: to eleven type style, and they're still in the United

338
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 14: States of America. So I agree, Tom need we do

339
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 14: need to do more, go after these these targets that

340
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 14: can hurt America.

341
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 9: First, we know where they're at. Let's go all in

342
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 9: and get it done.

343
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: And Homan also made some headlines for pushing back on

344
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: Pope Francis's recent remarks about the immigration crackdown in the

345
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 3: United States, saying that he should focus instead on fixing

346
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: the Catholic Church. As someone who founded a Christian outreach,

347
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: what was your action to the pope's recent remarks.

348
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's appalling.

349
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 14: The paup has to pick up his Bible, I think

350
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 14: and reread it. You know, we see politicians that always

351
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 14: try to throw the Bible and change the Bible for

352
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 14: their narrative and the truth of the matter and the Torah,

353
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 14: which is to Christians, the Old Testament. You can be

354
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 14: an illegal alien and come into the land, but you

355
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 14: have to do it lawful under the law of Moses.

356
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 14: And you've got to recognize who the true God is,

357
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 14: the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

358
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 9: So there's laws, there's a process exactly the way the.

359
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 14: United States of America needs to do it for our protection,

360
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 14: because for every two people that come in that are good,

361
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 14: there's another ten that want to do us harm through

362
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 14: fentanyl trafficking or to kill us.

363
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 15: Yeah.

364
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 5: Absolutely, David, I think this is a good segue.

365
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: I'm so excited to ask you about your book All

366
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 4: for His Glory, The Near Death Experience of a modern

367
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 4: day job where you talk about your experience going to heaven.

368
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: I mean, my gosh, that's not something that everybody can say.

369
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 5: Tell us all of it, give.

370
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 4: Us all the details, and where can our viewers buy

371
00:17:59,320 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 4: your book.

372
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 14: You can get all for His Glory at either on Amazon,

373
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 14: but we prefer to go to His glory emy to

374
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 14: go directly through us. I was a marine and then

375
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 14: I was a director of three fortune one hundred companies,

376
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 14: had all the fame, fortune money, and then I had

377
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 14: experience where I got batchelism toxin, died three times, went

378
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 14: to heaven, saw heaven, saw the glory of God, and

379
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 14: it changed everything. He sent me back to start a

380
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 14: ministry by his name, his Glory, and now we reached

381
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 14: twenty five million people in every country of the world.

382
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 14: And it's truly what we do for him is always

383
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 14: only matters. Because I had the fame, I had the fortune,

384
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 14: I had the money, I had it all, but it

385
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 14: was empty and it's only what we do for him

386
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 14: that matters. And that's why he sent me back to

387
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 14: start a ministry called his name.

388
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 3: David, your experience is not unlike someone else I know,

389
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: and so I was just curious when you see the

390
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: glory of God like that, some people would say, well,

391
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: get rid of earth and let me join. I mean,

392
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: that's probably how I would be feeling. But it sounds

393
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: like God still had another purpose for you on this unfortunate,

394
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: sometimes desolate earth that we have. So I take it

395
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: that you're okay with being here for whatever time you

396
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 3: have remaining to do his work.

397
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not afraid to death.

398
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 14: I've seen death, I've seen Heaven is absolutely glorious. But

399
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 14: my report one of the things I found when I

400
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 14: went to heaven, I got to have him by the

401
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 14: skin of my teeth.

402
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 9: My report card was empty, so he sent me back.

403
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 14: So the next time I go to Heaven, my report

404
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 14: card is not going to be empty, and it's going

405
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 14: to be what I do for him that matters.

406
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 9: And that what we what matters most.

407
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 14: Of us at His glory is to reach a billion

408
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 14: souls for his namesake, and that's that's what our mission

409
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 14: is a billion souls, and we can do it.

410
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 9: And it's only what we do for him that.

411
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: Matterson's But that's an absolutely attainable goal in today's age.

412
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: So thank you so much, David for your work and

413
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 3: for glorifying God.

414
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 10: Thank you David, thank you, coming Usten.

415
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: Three artists join us in studio to talk about their

416
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: new song can Unite in America called color Blood.

417
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 10: We'll be right back.

418
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 16: Thanks Guascos, Chas, Saint Dress, the Saint Stars, Destination, all At,

419
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 16: that's what we found.

420
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 9: And see this world.

421
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 10: And welcome back to special Report.

422
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 3: Identity politics and tones of racism have been used by

423
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: the left divide us. You don't have to think back

424
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: that far to remember the BLM riots and how politicians

425
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: used that as fodder to create a racial divide. It

426
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: was even manifest in the end zones of NFL stadiums.

427
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: But one trio of musicians wants to do the opposite

428
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 3: of what the left has done and remind us that

429
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 3: we are all one people in one great nation. Singer

430
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: songwriter Chris Darlington teamed up with the artist The Marine

431
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 3: Rapper and King Bulletthhead to create the song Colorblind, which

432
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: aims to reverse racial politics and divides. We are lucky

433
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: to have all three of these artists in studio with

434
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 3: us today.

435
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 10: Welcome, gentlemen.

436
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 15: How you doing well?

437
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 13: Chris?

438
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: I want to start out with you because you've been

439
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: on our show before, and I mentioned that you wrote

440
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 3: Colorblind with the backdrop of the divisiveness that we saw

441
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: the left have, especially over the past four years, and

442
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 3: then plagued this. Was there any specific moment where you said, Okay,

443
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 3: I have seen enough, enough is enough. I'm putting pen

444
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 3: to paper. I'm gonna use my artistry and put this

445
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: into song.

446
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 15: Absolutely, I think with me, I think since twenty twenty.

447
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 13: Probably I felt like that.

448
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 15: I felt like we needed a song to fire back

449
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 15: at the left, to unite people like ourselves. And I

450
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 15: think that this collaboration is gonna do well for the

451
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 15: American people because we're all one, right.

452
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 10: And how did you find these two gentlemen?

453
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 8: Real quick?

454
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 15: So my buddy kim Us hook me up on some events.

455
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 15: So we had a performance at Marlago in December the

456
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 15: tenth for the American Futures event that they hosted. I

457
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 15: sang a song called still Standing I'm with that that

458
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 15: was collaboration with another rapper.

459
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 13: However, that rapper couldn't show up.

460
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 15: For the performance. I knew Sean was going to be there,

461
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 15: and I knew he rapped, so I asked him he

462
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 15: would step in and do the rap to that song.

463
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 15: So he did and it turned out phenomenal. I'm with that. Said,

464
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 15: the night before we were eaten dinner and we were

465
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 15: talking about a possible collaboration in the future. He said,

466
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 15: we'll come up with a hook, and I think by

467
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 15: the end of that night, I said, how about color blind?

468
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 15: Because he mentioned that he was going to invite the

469
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 15: Marine Rapper in with us, and that was December of

470
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 15: the ninth.

471
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 10: Okay, wasn't that great?

472
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 3: How that's just how music happens, as you know, especially

473
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: in the national scene. It just kind of happens naturally

474
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: and organically, which I think is awesome. So you called

475
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: on these two guys to work with you on this,

476
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 3: and the sentiment behind it was let's reverse the racism

477
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: and write racial identity politics that we've seen for the

478
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: past four years.

479
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 10: And that's where that's where the spear the song is correct,

480
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 10: all right?

481
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: And TMR which stands for the Marine Rapper for short.

482
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 3: You're a marine combat veteran and even a war correspondent,

483
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: which I'm fascinated with. You have a slew of military

484
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 3: accolades and military commendations, including the Department of Defense Thomas

485
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 3: Jefferson Ward, which is the highest Award for Military Journalism.

486
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 10: That's to be commended.

487
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 3: What elements of your military experience make you the man

488
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: that you are today.

489
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 17: Well, thank you for having us, first of all, and

490
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 17: then second of all, it's all the elements I learned.

491
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 17: I learned from all my drill instructors, my sergeants, the

492
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 17: discipline portion as well as the physical fitness, as well

493
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 17: as the being on time and just going after your

494
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 17: goals and getting whatever you want to go get. So

495
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 17: I combine all those elements as well as the journalism

496
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 17: and the storytelling. So all I did was transfer the

497
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 17: skills I learned as being a storyteller in war over

498
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 17: to my music. And all of my songs are real stories.

499
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 17: So that's what had a lot of other people really

500
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 17: relate to it because they know they're all real stories

501
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 17: from war. Because I have individual jewels who are live

502
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 17: today who saw that, who went through those situations. So

503
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 17: I wanted to just kind of keep telling the story

504
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 17: of those brave men and women out there on the

505
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 17: front lines, but do it in a musical way, so

506
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 17: I use all of it.

507
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 10: Were you a musician always to begin with, would.

508
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 17: You say no, I actually was an artist. I wanted

509
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 17: to be an animator. Really yeah, I wanted to be

510
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 17: a cartoonist, but I just started being really good at

511
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 17: battle rapping and stuff like that, and so like, I

512
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 17: just transferred my skills to that.

513
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: Well, ultimately, you know, we artists, it's always about the song.

514
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: It's always about the story that's behind the song. And

515
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: you mentioned storytelling, so you were a marine journalist. Basically

516
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 3: you already had that background. And what was it that

517
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: made you decide I'm going to take this level of

518
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: storytelling to a level of artistry that I haven't seen

519
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: yet in my own personal development.

520
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 10: What made you do that?

521
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 17: It was meeting a lot of famous people. One of

522
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 17: them was Iced Tea. Iced Tea is an army veteran.

523
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 17: I met Iced Tea and I said, hey, if a

524
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 17: young kid wants to make it in the rap industry,

525
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 17: how do they do it? He says, just be real

526
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 17: and tell your story. Be a storyteller. And for another

527
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 17: veteran to tell me all I have to do is

528
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 17: be a storyteller, especially individual who's very successful in many

529
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 17: different areas of media. I was excited and then I

530
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 17: was like, okay, let me just talk about my military stories.

531
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 17: And that's how I did it. I just I just

532
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 17: transferred the skills over.

533
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, they say, right, what you know? Right, correlse what's.

534
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 3: True to you and tell me a tmar When you

535
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 3: look at the state of the military today, at least

536
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 3: at least under this change of administration, do you feel

537
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 3: there's more optimism? Are you seeing a better picture than

538
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 3: perhaps you saw in the past four years?

539
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 10: What do you see?

540
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 17: Absolutely, it's gotten back to what I knew like before

541
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 17: two thousand and eight. Now it's right on track. Everybody's excited,

542
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 17: especially hearing Pete Hexs say lethal, lethal lethal. They want

543
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 17: to they I've talked to so many people across America.

544
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 17: I've been to all the rallies or the Trump rallies.

545
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 17: So many black, brown, and white, purple, it doesn't matter

546
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 17: what color they are. But they want a strong military.

547
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 17: They want strong young men and women to protect their

548
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 17: borders and overseas. They wanted they want to have that

549
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 17: security and they want to they want to rest at

550
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 17: night thinking about that. And if they don't have that,

551
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 17: that's what makes them nervous and paranoid and stuff like that.

552
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 17: So I know because I talked to a whole bunch

553
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 17: of individuals and I still have peers that are in

554
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 17: the military that they are very excited and they're very

555
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 17: eager to keep on finding for President Trump.

556
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 10: And peace through strength.

557
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: I suppose to well, Pastor Sean Moon, you but go

558
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: by the name King Bullethead, that's your your rapper name,

559
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: and you're a Christian conservative pastor and rapper using your

560
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: platform to spread the Gospel, which I think is a

561
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 3: very noble mission. How did you go from I got

562
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: to ask the same question to have with these other gentlemen,

563
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 3: how did you go from being a pastor to a rapper?

564
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 18: You know it was I think it's just something that God,

565
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 18: you know, called called me to do. Just use that

566
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 18: platform to be able to preach and teach in a

567
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 18: more modern format format that kuld appeal to, you know, folks,

568
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 18: et cetera. You know, growing up in a family my

569
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 18: father was from from North Korea, was freed by the

570
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 18: US troops. He was in a death camp for two

571
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 18: years and eight months. That's his number in the North

572
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 18: Grean death camp. And you know, for us growing up,

573
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 18: he always taught us about the danger of communism. So

574
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 18: we growing up in the States, you know, we were

575
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 18: always very wary of the left encroaching and putting forms

576
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 18: of communism Marxism into the education curricula. What if social

577
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 18: media culture in general and always knew we had to

578
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 18: fight against that. He called it political satanism. We had

579
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 18: to fight it. You know, it's not something you could

580
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 18: just stand back and.

581
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: Watch pastor do you think that we've become, especially younger generations,

582
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 3: more complacent today and not understanding the actual dangers of

583
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 3: communism and what it can do obviously what happened to

584
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 3: your father?

585
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 18: Yes, absolutely, it's really it's a totalitarian tip to us

586
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 18: as they talk about and they takeover all the institution's power.

587
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 18: President Trump is a godsend. We our whole community all

588
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 18: around the world was praying for him and he is

589
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 18: turning things around in a mighty fashion. God is using

590
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 18: it was such a tremendous way. So we are putting

591
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 18: a hedge of predictional part of with prayer on the

592
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 18: daily and we are just so grateful that he is

593
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 18: taking our helping us get America back.

594
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 3: What did you guys think when you saw that first

595
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: assassination attempt, because he says it over and over again

596
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 3: that this was God sparing his life, and I think

597
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 3: all of us, many of us have had sometimes even

598
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: near death experiences. So what was your reaction when you

599
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 3: saw that? Because it was almost unbelievable in the moment,

600
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 3: but truly it feels like God has destined him for

601
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,959
Speaker 3: something bigger, probably what he's doing right now.

602
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 18: Would you say, oh, absolutely? I mean, did you I

603
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 18: met Marie Rabber at the Butler Returned rally and we

604
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 18: have a big Trump truck and we're kind of the

605
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 18: crazy agents for Trump.

606
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 12: You know.

607
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 18: We got the big Trump we got all the flags

608
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 18: and everything, and he just ran up on us and

609
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 18: we were like talking, but it was it was surreal.

610
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 18: It was just everybody was praying, everybody was I could

611
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 18: understand it didn't matter what denomination you are from. You know,

612
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 18: God's hand was in this and say President Trump. So

613
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 18: it was just an.

614
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: Incredible And Chris, I'll start with you. I'd like for

615
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: you to go to part of the song of Colorblind.

616
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: Pick if you can, one lyric that you have that

617
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: you would say was personal to you, that you really

618
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: want people to get from this song.

619
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 10: I like for each of you to do that if

620
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 10: you could. Whoever wants to start.

621
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 15: Can with me, you know, and to stay on that topic,

622
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 15: and God we trust. Without God, the nation falls, and

623
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 15: I think he just sticks as Americans and God we

624
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 15: trust everything will remain up up top.

625
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 10: Absolutely, Timar, my.

626
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 17: Favorite line is overseas, but we didn't see color because

627
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 17: all we cared about if our brother or sister toroy

628
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 17: left and right could shoot and protect each other, and

629
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 17: that's all we cared about. And like it's also a

630
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 17: double entendreus sea is blue and we didn't see color.

631
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 17: So that's my favorite. It was just like we had

632
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 17: each other's back regardless.

633
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 18: For me, probably the beginning of the versus is melanin

634
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 18: got a synonym in idolatry. Since a synonym, there's no

635
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 18: sin in hym and so it's get back to Christ,

636
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 18: like Galatians says, in Christ, there is no junoor gentile,

637
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 18: free know another male, no female, all one in Christ Jesus.

638
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 18: And it's about getting back to God and that that

639
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 18: root that found in America so interesting.

640
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 3: We're sitting here of all races and probably the same

641
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: religion of course, but how do we overcome the racial divine.

642
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 10: That's in this country?

643
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 3: Because you guys have decided to do it through artistry,

644
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: which is the most noblest form I think of expression.

645
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: But if these Trump rallies that you've been to, that

646
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: you've performed for mar A Lago, did.

647
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 10: You encounter racism? Did you see any of this split

648
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 10: that they claim so often.

649
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 17: Well, god, I didn't see any. They said that, they

650
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 17: said that there's so much racism. I was pretty much

651
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 17: one of the minorities there, and I was welcome with

652
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,479
Speaker 17: open arms. Then let's take a New York for example.

653
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 17: I was welcome with open arm at that rally. But

654
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 17: when I went across the street to the one hundred

655
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 17: people who protested because nobody actually was going to vote

656
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 17: for the other side, it was a whole bunch of

657
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 17: hatred over there. But I was welcome with open arms

658
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 17: on the other side. So all of it's a lie.

659
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 17: But what I would say to anybody out there who's

660
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 17: trying to decide whether there's racism in America as much

661
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 17: as the liberals are saying, go out, go to the

662
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 17: grocery store, go to a theme park, go to a

663
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 17: fast food restaurant, and just say hi to someone who's

664
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 17: different than you and see the response you get. It's

665
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 17: gonna be a smile, and they're gonna be like, oh wow,

666
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 17: I can't believe it's thought about me. It won't matter

667
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 17: what color they are. So I just I just implore

668
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 17: a lot of individuals to get out there and go

669
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 17: meet people.

670
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, sure, amen.

671
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 18: I mean for us, it was just the Trump rallies

672
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 18: were tremendous. Everybody, you could get so much love, even

673
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 18: though Left would call us, you know, white supremacy. They

674
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 18: would call us white supremai. That's na season all this

675
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 18: kind of stuff, and but it was just so ridiculous

676
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 18: because they were the ones that spin out the hate.

677
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 18: You know, you go near them to die, die, they're

678
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 18: really terrible epithets thrown upon you. But you know, on

679
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 18: the Trump side, everybody was together and everybody was standing

680
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 18: for freedom and liberty in God's gifts of.

681
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 10: Chris real quick, when did the song come out?

682
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 15: So if the song is gonna drop February twenty eighth,

683
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 15: which is a Friday Friday.

684
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 10: February twenty and where can we get it? You can

685
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 10: get it.

686
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 15: Any platform, whether it's iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, YouTuber, the

687
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 15: place you get your music.

688
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 10: We'll be watching out for it. Thank you, guys, thank you,

689
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 10: thanks for having us. Alcohol Awareness Month is coming up.

690
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 10: In April when one singer songwriter.

691
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: Tells us how alcohol abuse affects everyone in new song,

692
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: We'll be right back.

693
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 19: We started with the five five to five challenge earlier

694
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 19: this year.

695
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 13: You guys were awesome.

696
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 19: You showed us results, testimonies.

697
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 9: We checked the science. So we just wanted.

698
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 19: To make sure that we're going to stay healthy and

699
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 19: be able to keep up with the four grandkids that

700
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 19: are you know, very much an.

701
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 13: Active part of our lives.

702
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 19: So when we started the five five five Challenge we

703
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 19: saw some results, we said, let's go for the next step,

704
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 19: and now we are enjoying it together, some awesome mornings

705
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 19: together as we walk and talk and just enjoying the

706
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 19: whole process.

707
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: We wanted to do something that would slow down the

708
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: aging process and just something that we could for the

709
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: rest of our lives just implement.

710
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 19: I know what the best is yet to come, but

711
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 19: you know, right now the poucha relli is shrinking and

712
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 19: I'm saying bye bye slowly but surely my energy's up,

713
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 19: circulations better, skins looking better, my digestion is better, and overall,

714
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 19: just you know, enjoying feeling healthier.

715
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 6: I love that you guys are being preventative right, So

716
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 6: like you didn't have any major health concerns your conditions,

717
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 6: but you're preventing anything major from coming.

718
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 20: So I just really want to honor you guys for that.

719
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 10: Well, welcome back to Special Report. It is February.

720
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: Have you kept your fitness and health goal resolutions you

721
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 3: made on New Year's Eve?

722
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 10: Probably not?

723
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 8: I have not.

724
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: I know it is hard, and our next guest says,

725
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 3: staying in good health all year long can be achieved.

726
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: So let's welcome in our good friends, the founder of

727
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: Energized Health, John Jubilee.

728
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 10: Hey, John, welcome back.

729
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 8: Well, thank you so much, honored to be here.

730
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 3: Absolutely well, most people who made those New Year's resolutions

731
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 3: back in January have already failed. I think Michelle and

732
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 3: I are probably two of those. Around eighty percent of

733
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 3: them quit by March, and March isn't even here yet.

734
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 3: So John, why does good health seem like such a

735
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: difficult goal? What are we missing?

736
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 11: Well, what we're missing, bo is something that actually works.

737
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 11: So first of all, I just want to validate people

738
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 11: for quitting. The reason people quit things is because it

739
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 11: didn't work, and so of course they want to quit.

740
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 8: But the great thing, just like you heard.

741
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 11: When we do something as simple as five days together

742
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 11: with you, you will know all my word, I just

743
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 11: lost five pounds of fat, not water, fat not water,

744
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 11: but fat. I lost five pounds of fat in five

745
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 11: days for five dollars. This actually works, and that's why

746
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 11: a lot of people choose to take that next step

747
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 11: and join our lifetime program.

748
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 8: And I can say it's been twenty eight.

749
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 11: Years for me. I did in nineteen ninety seven. I've

750
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 11: been the same size since nineteen ninety seven. I haven't

751
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 11: had a day of sickness since nineteen ninety seven. And you,

752
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 11: more importantly, you can have that and your health can

753
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 11: be the best it's ever been. And this could be

754
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 11: the last program you ever do.

755
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: Well, John, is this typically a form of self sabotage

756
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: or is there a better way to pursue health for

757
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: the long term through your program?

758
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 11: Well, that's that's really a great question, because look, you

759
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 11: know when people ask me, well, what diet works, I say, well,

760
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 11: if you're gonna ask me about what diet works, every

761
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 11: diet works for a minute, but life is a lot

762
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 11: longer than a minute. How long can you eat that

763
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 11: cabbage soup? How long could you go on a fast.

764
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 11: How long could you just eat protein? None of those

765
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 11: diets are sustainable. And that's why you know, we never

766
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 11: teach a diet starts with die. You know, I'd rather

767
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 11: die than go on a diet. That's what I tell people.

768
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 11: So I recommend, and we recommend for you to have

769
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 11: your best health. If you want to have your best health,

770
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 11: you need a sustainable program that is science backed with

771
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 11: a patent pending science. This is science, guys. You know

772
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 11: your metabolism's not broken, it's just dehydrated. You don't have

773
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 11: health at the cellular level. That's the missing key. And

774
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 11: when you get healthy at the seiular level, your metabolism

775
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 11: as we set to like a seventeen year old, remember

776
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 11: when you were seventeen, bo what could you eat at

777
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 11: seventeen years old?

778
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 10: Anything?

779
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 2: Everything count?

780
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 3: And John, I want to ask you this real quick.

781
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 3: We only got about thirty forty seconds lift. But is

782
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: there an element of sacrifice to this program? Because you

783
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: think about the food restrictive diets, exercise, all this stuff,

784
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 3: there's always an element of the second personal gain. It

785
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: sounds like your program has something that's more sustainable without

786
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 3: a ton of sacrifice.

787
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 10: Am I right?

788
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 11: In that no, it really is the only thing you're

789
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 11: not going to eat is basically is sugar and white flour.

790
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 11: That's the only thing you're going to give up, but

791
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 11: you won't even crave it. So, guys, I want to

831
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 3: Reautly and welcome back to special report. Alcohol abuse is

832
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 3: something that plagues many Americans, and some of the collateral

833
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: damage is what alcohol abuse does to relationships. It affects family, friends, colleagues, children, spouses,

834
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 3: and essentially everyone that is in proximity to the abuser.

835
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: Between twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen, excessive use of alcohol

836
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,280
Speaker 4: was a major contributor to preventable deaths in the United States,

837
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 4: accounting for approximately one hundred and seventy eight thousand deaths annually.

838
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 4: One singer songwriter has used her art to capture the

839
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 4: personal side of this issue with the single you just

840
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 4: saw called Love Me Sober. Welcome to the show, Mackenzie Phipps.

841
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 10: Hey, Hi, Mackenzie.

842
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I first of all want to salute

843
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 3: you and admire you for taking on this difficult subject matter.

844
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: I was reflecting back to my days in nashvilleist song

845
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 3: Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley, which I'm sure you know

846
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 3: where the abuse leads to death. Tell us the circumstances

847
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: that led to you writing this important song.

848
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 23: Yes, so as a songwriter, you know, especially moving to Nashville.

849
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 23: Here in June it will be two years that I've

850
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 23: been in Nashville. I've gotten a lot more into songwriting

851
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 23: and figuring out who I am as an artist, and

852
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 23: I really love writing about topics that hit home to

853
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 23: some people.

854
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 20: And that's kind of where I came up with love

855
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 20: Me Sober.

856
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 23: Whenever songs come to me, they just come out of

857
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 23: nowhere my head and I start writing them on paper

858
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 23: and I start getting the melody to it, and when

859
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 23: I came up with love Me Sober, of course, the

860
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,760
Speaker 23: storyline is talking about a couple that have been together

861
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 23: a while and unfortunately, the man suffers from alcoholism, and

862
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 23: the girl hopes that one day he changes, but he

863
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 23: just isn't at that point in his life where he

864
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 23: wants to make a change happen, so she ultimately decides

865
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 23: that she leaves in hopes of him bettering himself in

866
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 23: the future. And that's kind of where the song came together.

867
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,399
Speaker 23: Was you know, you've fought for so long, and you've

868
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 23: talked about the subject and how it has affected you,

869
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 23: and at the end of the day, she's gotten to

870
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 23: the point where she's like, you know, why can't you

871
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 23: love me sober? And she hopes that her leaving gets

872
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 23: him into sobriety. And I feel like a lot of

873
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 23: people out there really go through that, and I hope

874
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 23: that this song is able to touch many people out there.

875
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 20: That are in this situation.

876
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mackenzie, alcohol related deaths and diseases are considered highly preventable,

877
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 4: but of course that requires the individual to abstain from it.

878
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 4: With alcohol still likely being most people's poison of choice

879
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 4: it comes to recreation, how do we turn that tide?

880
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 10: You know?

881
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 20: I think, as many people say with any.

882
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 23: Sort of substance issue, they say, the first thing in

883
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 23: recovery is admitting that you have a problem. And I mean,

884
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 23: like you were mentioning, alcohol is a leading cause of

885
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 23: death among so many different people, especially within the age

886
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,439
Speaker 23: demographic that I'm in between twenty and thirty nine, men

887
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,760
Speaker 23: are actually three times more likely to die from alcohol

888
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 23: abuse than women. And I mean also there's so many

889
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 23: alcohol related domestic abuse cases that happen worldwide.

890
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 20: And I just feel people out there, if.

891
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 23: They are having an issue, that the first thing that

892
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 23: they need to decide for themselves is do I have

893
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 23: a problem and what can I do to help better

894
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,439
Speaker 23: myself and to get away from this? And I really

895
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 23: hope that this song out there may speak to people

896
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 23: that may be in that position where they may have

897
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 23: a problem and it may be affecting everybody around them,

898
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 23: and bettering themselves will make everybody else, including themselves, a

899
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 23: much better and happier person.

900
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 3: Again, since this song is a personal song and also

901
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 3: one that cuts really to the core of this very

902
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: difficult issue, perhaps if you could quote us a particular

903
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,240
Speaker 3: line from the song that you really like and explain

904
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 3: what it is you want listeners to know about what's

905
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 3: going on in the story that the otherwise might not

906
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 3: know if they hadn't heard your song.

907
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:22,240
Speaker 23: Yes, So, one part in the song that really touched

908
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 23: me when I wrote the song was in the second verse,

909
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 23: and it was talking about she runs back into the

910
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 23: bedroom packing up all her things.

911
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 20: He says to her, I love you, and I promise

912
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 20: you I can change.

913
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 23: And I feel like a lot of people in relationships,

914
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 23: especially or in a family matter, whenever they struggle with

915
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 23: abuse and addiction, they tell everybody the same story of Oh,

916
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 23: I can do better, I'm going to change, this will

917
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 23: be the last time, and everything like that, But then

918
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 23: they end up falling back into that repeating cycle. And

919
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 23: I do feel like that song out there with anybody

920
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 23: struggling with alcohol is you should know that there are

921
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 23: so many different resources that they can reach out to,

922
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 23: and there's plenty of places that you can go and

923
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 23: try to better yourself.

924
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:08,720
Speaker 5: Mackenzie.

925
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 4: President Trump says that he's never had a drink in

926
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 4: his life. That's primarily due to the death of his

927
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 4: brother Fred to alcohol, so he thought he might have

928
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: it in his genetics, so he just never touched it.

929
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 4: How much DoD genetics play into alcoholism and should people

930
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 4: be more aware of their family history of this.

931
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 20: I have heard so.

932
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 23: Many people talk about, you know, whether they have family

933
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 23: history of alcoholism or alcohol.

934
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 20: Abuse and everything like that.

935
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 23: And I mean.

936
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 20: Alcohol alcohol use disorder is a thing.

937
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 23: I mean, in twenty twenty three, ten point two percent

938
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 23: of people starting at the age of twelve and older

939
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 23: in the United States suffered from alcohol use disorder. And

940
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 23: I mean even fifteen point one percent of young adults

941
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 23: between eighteen and twenty five in the US had alcohol

942
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 23: use disorder. And I mean it can affect all different

943
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 23: kinds of people in any age, demographic, race, ethnicity, anything

944
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 23: like that. And I do feel like that does play

945
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 23: a fact with people and their personal choice that they

946
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 23: see in their family history and just people generations before

947
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 23: them had issues and they decide, hey, I'm not gonna

948
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 23: mess with it. I don't want to end up repeating

949
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 23: that cycle, and I'm going to start a new one.

950
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 23: So I say kudos to people out there that they

951
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 23: do look at that kind of stuff and they take

952
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 23: it very seriously in their personal.

953
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 20: Day to day life.

954
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 3: Because you quoted this stat earlier and I want to

955
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 3: quote it again because I was really alarmed to find

956
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 3: out that men are three times as likely to die

957
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 3: of alcohol abuse. What do you attribute to this statistic?

958
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 3: Do men run to alcohol more for recreational reasons? Is

959
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 3: it stress? Is an anxiety? What are you finding? I mean,

960
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 3: obviously you know a lot about the statistics because you

961
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 3: clearly did your research about this song and what went

962
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 3: into it.

963
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 10: What do you attribute that to?

964
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 20: I think just you know, me learning the facts.

965
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 23: I did research and I just pulled information that I

966
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 23: felt would be beneficial for people out there to know

967
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 23: and learn more about with alcohol, and I think everybody

968
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 23: they may to turn to it in whatever kind of degree.

969
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 23: Some people they may start out and then it may

970
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 23: just start developing into more of a habit thing. And

971
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 23: you may have a drink on a Monday and then

972
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 23: you're like, oh, well, I can have another one on Tuesday,

973
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 23: and then Tuesday leads to Wednesday, you have too, and

974
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 23: it just keeps going more and more and more, and

975
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 23: then people start getting addicted to and they start relying

976
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 23: on it more in their day to day life. And

977
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 23: I mean especially with men, men with their jobs, and

978
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 23: I mean even women as well. But with that statistic

979
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 23: of being between twenty and thirty nine, with men being

980
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 23: three times more likely to die from it, I do

981
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 23: feel that men may turn to it more on a

982
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 23: stress manner because they go through so much during their

983
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 23: day to day life.

984
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 20: And I just feel people out there.

985
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 23: Need to find different ways of coping with stress and

986
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 23: dealing with anything that may be anxiety written in their

987
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 23: life and just turning to something that maybe not has

988
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 23: less abrasive as going for a walk or just sitting

989
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 23: back and relaxing on the couch watching IT show to

990
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 23: get your mind off of it, or spending time with

991
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 23: friends and family. And I mean, if you do feel

992
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 23: like you're having issues in your life and that you

993
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 23: may be turning down a bad road, you can always

994
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 23: go to other resources. You can talk to friends and

995
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 23: family about it. I just want people out there to

996
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 23: know that there are solutions.

997
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, there absolutely are, and you know, a lot of

998
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 4: people usually use alcohol as a mask for their underlying problems,

999
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 4: and it just makes the problems ten times worse.

1000
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 5: Your song talks about this.

1001
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,400
Speaker 4: It talks about the effects of alcohol abuse on everyone

1002
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 4: involved in a person's circle. It can truly ruin a

1003
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 4: perfectly healthy relationship. How does alcohol take over and just

1004
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 4: change people?

1005
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 23: Alcohol it just affects people in so many different ways.

1006
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 23: I mean, you've heard everybody talk about I'm sure everybody

1007
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 23: in their life has heard somebody be like, oh, I

1008
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 23: don't drink bourbon because it makes me mad, or I

1009
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 23: don't do vodka because I say things that I don't mean.

1010
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 23: And I feel like a lot of people out there,

1011
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 23: when they are in a difficual situation, they turn to

1012
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 23: alcohol to kind of numb the pain and to kind

1013
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 23: of numb their surroundings and any sort of stress that

1014
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 23: could be going on in their life.

1015
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 20: And that isn't always the answer.

1016
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 23: I mean, people out there, it's okay to maybe have

1017
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 23: a glass of wine to cut the edge some, but

1018
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 23: I mean a lot of people out there, when they

1019
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 23: do start to have issues with alcohol, they start using

1020
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 23: it in excessive.

1021
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 20: Manners, and it's just not a good thing.

1022
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 17: To do.

1023
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 23: And I really hope that this song is able to

1024
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,000
Speaker 23: speak to people out there that may be in that situation,

1025
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 23: or they may be on the line of having an

1026
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,959
Speaker 23: issue and starting to come to the realization of, Hey,

1027
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 23: I need to do things different and I need to

1028
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 23: go down a better path.

1029
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 20: In my life.

1030
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 10: Jim McKenzie, just real quickly.

1031
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 3: I remember you said that in your second verse, you

1032
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 3: talk about the guy saying I can change, I can change.

1033
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot of people out there, but on

1034
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 3: the other side of this have heard that line before.

1035
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 3: How do people really change though, because it seems to

1036
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 3: me they kind of have to hit a period of

1037
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 3: rock bottom to realize where they are. But how do

1038
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 3: people actually instigate that change. It seems like there has

1039
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: to be a mirror in front of them where they say,

1040
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 3: I'm no longer going to be this person anymore.

1041
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 20: Yes, I've heard. I even have personal friends of my.

1042
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 23: Own that they have gone through issues, and they always

1043
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 23: talk about, like you just mentioned, hitting rock bottom.

1044
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 20: You're lowest of lows.

1045
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 23: Some people out there, they may run into the issues,

1046
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 23: especially going towards the more harder substances like drugs or.

1047
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 20: Something like that.

1048
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 23: They may take it to a level of almost overdosing

1049
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 23: and they're like, oh my gosh, like I need help,

1050
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 23: I need to.

1051
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 20: Get this under control. And I mean even with alcohol

1052
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 20: it can lead to that.

1053
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 23: And I mean people they could be drinking themselves excessively

1054
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 23: and so much to the point where like they have

1055
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,280
Speaker 23: no recollection of their days, they have no recollection of anything.

1056
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 23: And I do think it is a personal choice. At

1057
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 23: the end of the day, the person is going to

1058
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 23: have to admit to themselves that I have a problem.

1059
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 23: And I know that's what a lot of resource programs

1060
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 23: out there to say that is the first step in

1061
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 23: knowing that you're an addict and that you have to

1062
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:39,200
Speaker 23: get your life sorted out.

1063
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 20: Is admitting to yourself that I have a problem.

1064
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 23: And I know that's difficult for a lot of people

1065
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 23: out there because we don't want to see ourselves as

1066
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,280
Speaker 23: having an issue, but I mean, unfortunately that just happens.

1067
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mackenzie, thank you so much for bringing this important

1068
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 4: topic to light in your song Love Me Sober.

1069
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 5: Thanks for being on Special Report
