1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,679
Speaker 1: Special Report.

2
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 2: JFK expert Roger Stone joins us to talk about the

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: declassification of the JFK, RFK and MLK files, and.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 3: Wall Street is turning its attention to digital assets following

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: Trump's crypto executive orders yesterday.

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 4: We break down how.

7
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 3: That could affect the future of the United States economy.

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 5: And Bible sales are up throughout America. President Trump is

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 5: certainly inspiring a restored sense of Christianity throughout the US.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 5: We'll discuss with Pastor Ben Graham all of that and

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 5: so much more right now on Special Report.

12
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Well, welcome to this hour of Special Report.

13
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm Bo Davidson, alongside Michelle Bachus and Emily Finn. Earlier

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: this week, President Trump made good on a promise to

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: release declassified files on JFK, RFK and MLK.

16
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Take a look.

17
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: Lastly, sir, we have an executive order ordering the declassification

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: of files relating to the assassinations the President, John F.

19
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 6: Kennedy, Senator Robert F.

20
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 7: Kennedy, and Reverend doctor.

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 8: Martin Luther King.

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 9: Junia's a big.

23
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 10: One, h A.

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 11: Lot of people are waiting for this for along, for years,

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 11: first for decades, and everything will be revealed Ooh.

26
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: In the flurry of comments on social media, following that

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 3: many Americans have been longing for these files to be declassified,

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: and in his first week, mind you, Trump has made

29
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 3: it happen with the stroke of his pen.

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 6: Well.

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: Joining us now is Roger Stone, a close confidant of

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: the president who has written extensively about the jfk assassination,

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: including his New York Times best selling book The Man

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: Who Killed Kennedy, The Case against LDJ.

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 4: Roger, it is so great to see you again.

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 9: Great to be back with you. You know, the the

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 9: John F. Kennedy Assassination is the most enduring murder mystery

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 9: and American history. The publishers of the National Inquirer once

39
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 9: told me that any month in which they were running

40
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 9: short on revenues, they would merely put a jfk assassination

41
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 9: related story on the cover and their sales would zor.

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 9: And there are still a number of unanswered questions. President

43
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 9: Trump did declassify about seventy percent of the material based

44
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 9: on a law passed in the nineteen seventies in his

45
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 9: first term, but he's now told us that Central Intelligence

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 9: Agency had Mike Pompeo persuaded him to hold a balance

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 9: of the material back, and now he's going to release

48
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 9: it all. It's high pass time.

49
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Well, Roger, you know when I interviewed you a few

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: years ago, you told me that when you asked President

51
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: Trump about declassifying these files, he told you what's in

52
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: them is really, really bad, and that one day he

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: tell you about it. Well, just this week he's declassified files.

54
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: And I want to know if you know what's in

55
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: those files, and is it as bad as he says.

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 9: Well, of course I don't know for certain. He, by

57
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 9: the way, also told of my good friend Judge Andrew

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 9: Napolitano the same thing. I think what we're going to

59
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 9: have here is definitive proof of the involvement of the

60
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 9: Central Intelligence Agency in the murder of President Kennedy. Now

61
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 9: that is not to say that they acted alone. The

62
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 9: premise of my book, which is very thoroughly documented the

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 9: man who killed Kennedy. The case against LBJ is that

64
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 9: LBJ was at the head of the helmut shall we say,

65
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 9: of a plot that included the Central Intelligence Agency, organized crime,

66
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 9: Big Texas Oil, and the banking interests, among others, to

67
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 9: murder John F. Kennedy. They each had their own individual motive.

68
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 9: But Lyndon Johnson is the is the central link to

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 9: each one of them, the center of the spoke of

70
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 9: a wheel, so to speak. And I think what we're

71
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 9: going to get out of these documents is clarification of

72
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 9: the CIA's role, meaning the American government's active role in

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 9: killing an American president.

74
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: So to clarify at the very least, do you think

75
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: we'll expect to see that the CIA knew about Oswald

76
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: and worked with him in some capacity.

77
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 9: Well from the documents that President Trump already released, we

78
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 9: got the ten ninety nine that shows that Lee Harvey

79
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 9: Oswald was on the payroll of the FBI, and we

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 9: also got proof that he attended the Foreign Language School

81
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 9: of the CIA runs in North Carolina. That's where he

82
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 9: learned to speak Russian, almost lawless Russian. So yes, I

83
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 9: think we're going to tighten that link. What we're going

84
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 9: to learn is the Central Intelligence Agency knows all about that.

85
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 9: He's been an informant for both those agencies, and he

86
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 9: is indeed precisely what he says, he is a patsy.

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 9: I post you this simple question, if Lee Harvey Oswald

88
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 9: shot and killed John F. Kennedy, why are there no

89
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 9: powder burns on his chest, or his arms or his hands.

90
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 9: They want us to believe that he fired a leaky

91
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 9: World War two vintage Italian World War two carbine, but

92
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 9: he has no powder burns on him. That is, as

93
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 9: any expert will tell you, impossible. And then recently Paramount

94
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 9: Pictures came out with a documentary in which they interviewed

95
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 9: the various doctors who attended JFK at Parkland Hospital in Dallas,

96
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 9: and every one of them says they saw wounds consistent

97
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 9: with John Kennedy being shot from the front and the back,

98
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 9: which means multiple shooters, which means a conspiracy.

99
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: Well, Roger, let's revisit WELBJ here for just a monment,

100
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: because I know that you've written extensively about him. You've

101
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: maintained that Lyndon B. Johnson was directly involved in this assassination.

102
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: And I recall when I interviewed you to provide a

103
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: one word association with his name, you said the word murderer.

104
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 2: So what information, if any, in these files would link

105
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: LBJ directly to the assassination or do you think that

106
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: those are long gone? Have they been long either redacted

107
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: or tossed? Out or burned or something.

108
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 9: Actually, the most compelling piece of information was a tape

109
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 9: released last week by a man named Sean Stevens that

110
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 9: he got from his grandfather. It is an audio tape

111
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 9: of a conversation between Cliff Carter, the executive director of

112
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 9: the Democrat National Committee under LBJ, and Billy sal Estes,

113
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 9: who was a crony of Johnson's who went to prison

114
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 9: for corruption. And in that audio tape, Carter says that

115
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 9: LBJ hired Malcolm mac Wallace to assassinate John Kennedy. And indeed,

116
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 9: the fingerprints of Malcolm mac Wallace are found on the

117
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 9: sixth floor of the Texas school Book Depository building, on

118
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 9: the card boxes that fashion the so called crow's nest

119
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 9: from which the alleged shooter shot. No less than six

120
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 9: witnesses tell either the FBI or the Dallas Police that

121
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 9: they see a man who meets the physical description of

122
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 9: Wallace in the window the sixth floor of the Texas

123
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 9: school Book Depository, heavy set, middle aged baulding with spectacles.

124
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 9: That is not twenty some odd year old Lee Harvey

125
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 9: Oswald who's wearing a teacher when he was apprehending. So

126
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 9: I think the if you'll read my book, you will

127
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 9: see overwhelming evidence of Johnson's involvement. I expect these documents

128
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 9: that we're about to see to cement the CIA's role.

129
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 9: But again, the CIA did not act alone. They acted

130
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 9: in concert with others. And there are multiple shooters. So yes,

131
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 9: I think Malcolm Wallace is the shooter from the sixth

132
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 9: floor of the school Book Depository about a building owned

133
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 9: by D. H. Bird, a crony of Lyndon Johnson's. By

134
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 9: the way, he took the encasement of that window and

135
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 9: later had it mounted in his living room as a

136
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 9: trophy fact. And then you have, of course, I think

137
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 9: a shooter on the fence behind the grassy. No, there

138
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 9: are multiple eyewitnesses to that, whilet the Warren Commission ignores

139
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 9: all of them. I believe that that is a paid

140
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 9: mob hitman, a Corsican thrown into the country specifically for

141
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 9: the hit. Johnny Roselli claims that he was a shooter

142
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 9: from the sewer Great unsure that he himself is the shooter,

143
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 9: but I think there is another shooter there. I believe

144
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 9: there's another shooter in the Dow Text building, which is

145
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 9: across from the Texas school Book Depository. All of this

146
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 9: would confirm the new paramount documentary of wounds on Kennedy

147
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 9: from the front.

148
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 7: And the back.

149
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: Roger, I want to move on in I'm sure I

150
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: get your opinion on this as well. Let's move on

151
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: to the RFK and MLK files. What might we learn

152
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 3: from these?

153
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 9: Well, the RFK file is going to be very interesting.

154
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 9: By the way, If I have one disappointment, it is

155
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 9: that President Trump did not include the attempted assassination on

156
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 9: President Ronald Reagan. The government's report on that has never

157
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 9: been released. Vice President George Bush headed a task force

158
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 9: that put out a statement that said there was no

159
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 9: conspiracy and that the shooter was who shot from a

160
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 9: crouching position below. Yet Ronald Reagan was hit from above

161
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 9: and behind. A lot of questions about that. To go

162
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 9: to your question, the Los Angeles Police Department could not

163
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 9: have botched the investigation of RFK any worse. Here's what

164
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 9: we know. The coroner of La County, Thomas Nagucci, quite famous,

165
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 9: says that Robert Kennedy died from two bullet shops wounds

166
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 9: at point blank range from behind his left temple. Yet

167
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 9: Sheerhan Sirhan, the man accused and charged and convicted of

168
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 9: killing Kennedy was always in front of him, he was

169
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 9: never behind him. Ergo, he could not have been the shooter.

170
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 9: That's why these documents are going to be so interesting.

171
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: That's extremely interesting, Roger. And to move on to Donald

172
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: Trump's second term. He's off to a very fast start

173
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 2: in the second term. He's wheeling, dealing, and he's fixing

174
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: the country.

175
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: From four years of disaster.

176
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: What are some things you would like to see done

177
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: in this term that did not get done in his

178
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: first term.

179
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 9: Well, first of all, I think that we need a

180
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 9: law that says, if you are indicted by the federal government,

181
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 9: you are tried in the jurisdiction where you live, not

182
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 9: in the district of Columbia. I think that would be

183
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 9: a very important reform. Secondarily, I would like to see

184
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 9: the Congress, in concert with the President, conduct field hearings

185
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 9: so those who are recently pardoned can be subpoened and

186
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 9: brought to hearings in local jurisdictions outside of DC and

187
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 9: see if they commit perjury. When it comes to questions

188
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 9: regarding the Russian collusion hoax, the Ukrainian collusion hoax, or

189
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 9: the hoax surrounding January sixth. You will never get justice

190
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 9: in the District of Columbia where virtually every federal judge

191
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 9: is politically biased, and you can never draw an unbiased jury,

192
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 9: So we cannot look to that forum, the DC Circuit

193
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,479
Speaker 9: for justice in any case. I think those are important reforms.

194
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 9: I hope that Pam Bondi, who's going to be a

195
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 9: great Attorney General, and Cash Pttel's going to be a

196
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 9: great FBI director, will take a hard look at that.

197
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 8: Yep.

198
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 4: Roger Stone, thank you so much for joining us today.

199
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 9: Thanks Rod, bless you.

200
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: I'd plead to you all right.

201
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 3: Coming up, we check in with Brian Glenn, who had

202
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: a great question for the President in North Carolina this morning.

203
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 4: You'll take a listen. We'll be back in a moment.

204
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: Well, welcome back to discussion reports.

205
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: Earlier today, President Trump traveled on Air Force one to Asheville,

206
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 2: North Carolina, to meet with leaders regarding the recent hurricane devastation.

207
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: When Trump took questions, Brian Glenn had a pertinent one,

208
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: Let's take a look.

209
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 12: A lot of Americans think that this is symbolic of

210
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 12: what your campaign was all about America. First, putting your

211
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 12: priorities to Americans, even going to California, where their policies

212
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 12: might have been one of the biggest reasons why they've

213
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 12: had these problems. But you're putting American people first.

214
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 8: Your thoughts on that, we.

215
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 7: Are But thank you. I like that question.

216
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 10: Boy, I want more questions like that.

217
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 7: That's even a statement.

218
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 6: Thank you very much.

219
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 10: He's a good man, that guy, and he's also a

220
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 10: very professional reporter.

221
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 8: I have to say, thank you very much.

222
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're putting America first.

223
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,359
Speaker 6: We're putting in this case North.

224
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 9: Carolina and California. We're going to do a good job

225
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 9: in California.

226
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 11: That is a disaster. They're like, I don't know, we've

227
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 11: ever seen anything like it. Frankly, they say, the biggest

228
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 11: in the history of California.

229
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 10: I think has anything bigger than that happened in the

230
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 10: whole country.

231
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 11: Ever, it looks like I don't want to say what

232
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 11: it looks like, but you know what, I'm good to say.

233
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 6: It looks like something hit it and we won't talk

234
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 6: about what hit it. But it is a bad, bad situation.

235
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: Brian, it's been a busy morning for you.

236
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: And first of all, congratulations for getting White House access.

237
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 2: For real America's voice and getting that press pass seems

238
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: pretty clear that the President is paying attention to trustworthy

239
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: media and it is paid off. As you can tell

240
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: from the President's response to your question today, how did

241
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: it feel?

242
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 8: You know, it was a great moment.

243
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 13: I celebrate all of us, this moment with everyone, everyone

244
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 13: at rab and every one of our viewers at home.

245
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 8: And I think today was.

246
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 13: Kind of kind of you know, we President Trump has

247
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 13: always said I will put you first, I will put

248
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 13: America's interest first. I will, I will fight for you,

249
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 13: I will. We've all known the campaign promises. Today we

250
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 13: saw it. He said he was going to go and

251
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 13: visit everyone in North Carolina.

252
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 8: He did.

253
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 13: He said he was going to lay out a plan

254
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 13: to bring assistance to North Carolina. He said that today.

255
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 13: So it follows my question, really was this? You said

256
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 13: American first, You put in North Carolina's first. You could

257
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 13: have went to the World Economic Conference. You didn't do that.

258
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 13: You chose to come to North Carolina. And by the way,

259
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 13: first Lady Milania looked beautiful, the genuine reactions.

260
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 8: On both of their faces when we went to the

261
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 8: location where.

262
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 13: We actually heard from victims of this disaster.

263
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 8: On September twenty seven.

264
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 13: To actually see the concern on both President Trump's face

265
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 13: and Milennia Trump's face said it all.

266
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 8: They care about this country and we saw it today.

267
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 14: Absolutely.

268
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 5: Brian, Well, I think you are President Trump's favorite reporter.

269
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 14: We love to see it.

270
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 5: But I do want to talk more about the purpose

271
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 5: of his trip today. As you were just meant, what

272
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: did you learn from seeing them in North Carolina today?

273
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: I mean he prioritized this stop before assessing California and

274
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 5: the wildfire damage there.

275
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 14: It seems he wants to localize the.

276
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 5: Response as a first resort rather than waiting for FEMA bureaucracy.

277
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 5: Make it a state response the state problem first. Tell

278
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: us more about what you learned today.

279
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, that was one of my one of my questions

280
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 13: is what can we do to actually streamline the federal

281
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 13: government send them money and the resources to the people

282
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 13: on the ground that's actually making a difference. You know,

283
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 13: so many people complain that FEMA just they weren't hearing

284
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 13: from FEMA, or the assistance wasn't enough. But yet the

285
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 13: resources on the ground, the small groups, the communities that

286
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 13: came together with their time efforts, uh and love to

287
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 13: rebuild this community. So why not send federal funding to

288
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 13: these individuals that are actually on the ground making a

289
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 13: difference and get rid of the red tape, get rid

290
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 13: of all of the federal bureaucracy that it takes to

291
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 13: send money to people who needed So that was one

292
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 13: of my questions. He thought it was a great question,

293
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 13: and hopefully that kind of sparks some interest and fixing

294
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 13: the aid and getting into these people quicker.

295
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we certainly hope. So, Brian, will I want to

296
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: ask you an inside press question. I'm sure that our

297
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: viewers out there want to know this information because they

298
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: don't often get a sense of what it's like inside

299
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: the press pool. Do you get a sense that the

300
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: press pool is asking better questions now and not those

301
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 2: gotcha stinger questions like Jim Acosta used to do to

302
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: have these to stage these fights.

303
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: Are they better?

304
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 13: I think they're forced to be better because when you

305
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 13: got someone like me that's asking relevant questions to problems

306
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 13: that we're trying to you know, solve now, you know topics,

307
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 13: I think it forces them to stay on topic and

308
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 13: not go go off. And like we didn't hear any

309
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 13: nonsense about January sixth, We didn't hear anything about that. Today,

310
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 13: we didn't hear anything bizarre or anything that he might

311
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 13: have said crazy on that to them crazy on the

312
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 13: campaign trail. Instead, we heard legitimate questions about the FEMA

313
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 13: aid to North Carolina. We heard legitimate questions about the border,

314
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 13: legitimate questions about other you know, military you know, kind

315
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 13: of more of a foreign policy if you will. So,

316
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 13: perhaps you know, the media has turned the page and

317
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 13: instead of trying to come up with a gotcha moment

318
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 13: with candidate president candidate Trump, now he's President Trump, and

319
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 13: the gimmicks and the games they used to play on

320
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 13: the campaign trail they no longer work, and the American

321
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 13: people are over the media that the fake news is

322
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 13: a lot of people would say, So, maybe they're they've

323
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 13: come to this realization, guys that they have to legitimately

324
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 13: do their job and ask questions, uh that that that

325
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 13: relate to what we're talking about, and stay away from

326
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 13: the nonsense.

327
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 8: Yeah.

328
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: Absolutely, you know, maybe the reporters just have had the

329
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 5: past four years off because Biden, I mean, he was

330
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: stumbling throughout every time he tried to talk to the press,

331
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 5: to the media. It's so great to finally have a

332
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 5: real president back, So give us a sense of the

333
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 5: media landscape about the president's mood in these early days.

334
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 14: I mean it seems that he's on a quest of sorts.

335
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 5: An American fixer upper at this point, really getting right

336
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 5: to work.

337
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, he's got a diy ahead of him, and that's

338
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 13: called the Reforming America and getting it back on track.

339
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 13: And he's only he's got a you know, one hundred

340
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 13: day agenda to get this done. No, he's been very

341
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 13: media friendly. Look, we're on day four and he's done

342
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 13: more press in four days. And I think Joe Biden,

343
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 13: legitimately you can say, have ever did in a year,

344
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 13: maybe year and a half. So and this is going

345
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 13: to continue. I mean, today's kind of a travel day

346
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 13: for me. When I'm done with this here, I'm gonna

347
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 13: travel down to Georgia. Then I'm going down to Miami.

348
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 13: Trump Durrell, he's meeting with Republican Conference on Monday. He's

349
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 13: going to deliver remarks as well. We've got David Zier

350
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 13: in Las Vegas where President Trump is on his way there.

351
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 13: Like he is the most media savvy president we have

352
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 13: ever seen, and he is he does not shy away

353
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 13: from the questions He doesn't set the questions the reporters.

354
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 13: They open it, you know, he opens it up to suggestions.

355
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 13: So to your point, Trump's mood is great. He seemed great,

356
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 13: He seemed positive, although he was dealing with a very

357
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 13: serious subject today.

358
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: And I can't wait, and Brian, I can't wait to

359
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 2: see him with Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass.

360
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: That's gonna be an interesting situation because it's much.

361
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 8: That's one such much watch TV.

362
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: We'll catch up, Brian, Thanks so much. Thanks guys, appreciate

363
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: coming up.

364
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: Wall Street is turning its attention to digital assets following

365
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: Trump's crypto executive orders. Yesterday, we break down how that

366
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: could affect the future of the United States economy.

367
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 3: Well, the executive orders just keep coming, and some of

368
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: the latest start positioning the United States to be the

369
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 3: global leader in both cryptocurrency and AI.

370
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 4: Take a look at this.

371
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: Headline, Trump crypto plans have Wall Street CEOs ready to

372
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: jump into digital assets.

373
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: This, of course, comes as President Donald Trump signed a

374
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: sweeping executive order on Thursday that includes working toward developing

375
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: a national digital asset stockpile. From more on all this,

376
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: let's welcome in Eric Rice of Sovereign capital, Eric, I

377
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 2: first want to get your reaction to the crypto executive

378
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 2: orders that Trump signed. What do you think about those

379
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: and what does it mean for the United States.

380
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: Well, I think they're a great start. I think that

381
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 7: we're approaching a whole new era in not just this country,

382
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 7: but the entire world with the onslaught of ai digital economies.

383
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 7: People are starting to notice that, you know, one hundred

384
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 7: years ago we had gold bars and pieces of paper

385
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 7: that sufficed and now about ninety five percent of our

386
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 7: transactions are done daily. So this opens up a whole

387
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 7: new arena for the entire country and for the world

388
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 7: at large. And obviously Wall Street is kind of salivating

389
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 7: at this because it's an area of the world that

390
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 7: few people know about and very few regulations exist. So

391
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 7: this executive order is really a kickoff to basically say,

392
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 7: let's go ahead and put some wrapping paper on this stuff.

393
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 7: Open the present, see what's inside all of these assets,

394
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 7: determine which ones will be beneficial to the country moving forward,

395
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 7: and which ones need regulations to be used by normal people.

396
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 7: I think it's a really good step in the right

397
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 7: direction to really create an onslaught of education for this

398
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 7: country that desperately needs it in this area.

399
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 3: You mentioned it regulation, so I'm going to go there,

400
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 3: Eric on how do regulations look in the United States?

401
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 4: How will that be implemented moving forward? If any? I mean,

402
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 4: this is a big task.

403
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 7: It's a huge task and regulations right now. The way

404
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 7: that kind of Ginsler handled the SEC was good and

405
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 7: bad at the same time. So what he was going

406
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 7: after needs to be clarified. But he was going basically

407
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 7: through enforcement first instead of clarity. So the crypto industry

408
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 7: has asked for clarity. What type of asset are we,

409
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 7: how should we be held, who should use us, things

410
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,120
Speaker 7: like that. Bitcoin has had really full legal clarity since

411
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 7: twenty fourteen, being the first in the space. It's kind

412
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 7: of deemed as a commodity within the regulatory environment. So

413
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 7: this coming era that we're entering into is really good

414
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 7: for the country. I am a bitcoiner myself, but there

415
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 7: are certainly other projects out there that are worthy and

416
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 7: noteworthy to see that they can improve different facets of

417
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 7: society and business at large. But we really need clarity

418
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 7: on what can and cannot be done, because right now

419
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 7: it's truly just the wild, wildwist. There are almost no

420
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 7: regulations in the crypto industry, and that's what scares a

421
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 7: lot of people away from it.

422
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned being scared, and I think many people

423
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: associate cryptocurrency with risk and uncertainty. So does federal government

424
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: involvement help to alleviate some of that?

425
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 7: Uh, well, it depends on your point of view, right,

426
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 7: So government intervention is good or bad depending on your purview.

427
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 7: I think for the average consumer or the average investor,

428
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 7: they need to determine what's a security, what's a decentralized currency,

429
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 7: what's a centralized currency, what's a collectible, what's a meme?

430
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 7: And I think a lot of that fear comes from

431
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 7: an unregulated environment where you see things like some of

432
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 7: the platforms we've seen out there recently are literally just

433
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 7: rug poll platforms where people are doing a big marketing campaign.

434
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 7: Everyone buys it, the owner sells it out in two seconds,

435
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 7: and everyone loses their money. That really really keeps people

436
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 7: away from crypto. And you can kind of look at

437
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 7: the crypto environment, which is separate from bitcoin. Bitcoin is

438
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 7: own its own beast, its own standard. Crypto needs these

439
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 7: regulations because I think working together that could create a

440
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 7: good environment if there were a set of rules in place.

441
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 7: But I think most people look at in the crypto space.

442
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 7: We look at bitcoin as more of a steady savings environment,

443
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 7: and the alt coins or crypto market is really seen

444
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 7: as a highly volatile trading environment, a stock environment. So

445
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 7: getting that education blended with traditional finance is really the

446
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 7: cause that everyone should be working towards and not trying

447
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 7: to push things out into the public that they're not

448
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 7: ready to absorb. The education is going to be huge.

449
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 7: So I'm actually doing a big series on this on

450
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 7: my podcast in March, just breaking down everything for people

451
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 7: because the common person does not know what a blockchain is,

452
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 7: how it works, what a cryptotoken is, what bitcoin is,

453
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 7: how it's separate. These are really big topics the world

454
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 7: that large needs to know about.

455
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, every time you're on you teach me something new.

456
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: Going back to that National Digital Asset Reserve, would that

457
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: primarily consist of bitcoin? Would that consist of other things?

458
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: How would that work to create that?

459
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 7: But we don't know at this point. So, I mean

460
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 7: it's a big topic on x A. There's a huge

461
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 7: feud going on about this on x Originally it was

462
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 7: bitcoin only. Bitcoin does have commodity status as a digital asset,

463
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 7: So a digital asset portfolio is what they're asking for.

464
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: That could either be a political term to not offend crypto,

465
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 7: or it could be a term to say, hey, look

466
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 7: there are other digital assets. They probably do exist. We

467
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 7: need to clarify and figure out which ones are an asset,

468
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 7: a currency, a decentralized currency, or a centralized currency and

469
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 7: allow the consumer to know what they're getting into, because

470
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 7: oftentimes these words are jumbled together and your average consumer goes, oh, well,

471
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 7: this is just like bitcoin without understanding bitcoin, or they'll

472
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 7: say this crypto is just like this crypto without understanding

473
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 7: the capital structure, the way that it's marketed, how it's used,

474
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 7: who's using it. There's a lot of stuff out there

475
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 7: that people need to understand, and for the common person,

476
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 7: it's just a big audacious task to try to get into.

477
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 7: So bitcoin will be the primary holder in that environment.

478
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 7: I'm assuming there will be a couple other digital assets

479
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 7: involved in there, if they can find other ones that

480
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 7: fit regulation. My biggest concern with this is actually the

481
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 7: decisions of who's in charge of the allocation. So our

482
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 7: cryptos are David Sachs very fine man. He is involved

483
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 7: in a lot of these projects. So I think the

484
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 7: topic of discussion. What Trump does is he puts things

485
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 7: out there for us to talk about. And I think

486
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 7: what we should be trying to do and getting to

487
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 7: is when with regulatory environments and people who make decisions

488
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 7: on the government's behalf, we need to make sure that

489
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 7: there's no special interest involved there. And that is a

490
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 7: topic that people are not talking about a whole lot.

491
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 7: David Sacks is a huge owner in Solana, and Solana

492
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 7: just had a huge pump with the Trump coin, the

493
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 7: meme coin that came out right before he took office.

494
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 7: These are topics that need to be discussed, and I'm

495
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 7: sure President Trump is willing to listen and hear people out.

496
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: Well, do you have faith in David Sachs to lead this?

497
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 7: My faith is in God, It always has been, so

498
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 7: I kind of keep it.

499
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: Do you trust him?

500
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 4: Is that a better way to put it?

501
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 6: Do you trust?

502
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 7: I trust in Jesus Christ?

503
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 4: Trust he's very politically correct today?

504
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 8: Wow?

505
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 7: You know the simple answer is no. I mean, absolute

506
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 7: power corrupts absolutely. No one's immune to that. So we

507
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 7: need to put constraints upon people and have the public

508
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 7: really know the public really needs to be more involved.

509
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 7: The government is supposed to work for us, we don't

510
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 7: work for them. We should know what they're doing on

511
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 7: a regular basis, and everything should be transparent in a

512
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 7: government position. So I don't rush to conclusions. I think

513
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 7: that's where most people go wrong.

514
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 8: You know.

515
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 7: I don't agree with Larry Ellison and Sam Altman controlling

516
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 7: AI in this country. I don't agree with David Sacks

517
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 7: being in charge of the crypto position. It's not my

518
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 7: decision to make. It is my decision to take action

519
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 7: upon that as a citizen and verbalize my distrust in

520
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 7: these environments and let that be clarified by the government.

521
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 7: I think we all have that right. We're born with it.

522
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Eric, you made a great point about education.

523
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: You know, Trump does a great job, as you said,

524
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: of throwing ideas out there.

525
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: Let's just discuss it. Let's see if it's possible.

526
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: Let's throw Greenland out there, Let's throw Canada out there,

527
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: Let's throw the Panama Canal out there, and just let's

528
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: see what happens. How can David Sachs and others educate

529
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 2: the entire American public so that we feel safer about

530
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 2: what's going on? Because I think about our debt our,

531
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 2: national debt. It's always talked about, and I'm thinking about

532
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 2: China and buying the bonds, and again I don't know

533
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: a ton about this, But as Americans, we have a

534
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 2: right to understand what's going on so that the accusation

535
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: of an oligarchy it doesn't become true and special interest

536
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,479
Speaker 2: don't dominate this environment. So what does the American government

537
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: need to do? People like David Sacks and Donald Trump

538
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: himself to educate the American public so we understand exactly

539
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: what's going on with their money.

540
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 7: Well, I think they're taking the right steps. I think

541
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 7: right now when they're trying to classify these assets and

542
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 7: put regulations around them per the asset class that's a

543
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 7: really good start. So you know, they've had they've had

544
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 7: a long time. They've been in office for three days,

545
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 7: so I give them a little bit of grace and time.

546
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 7: I think that the most important thing here is to understand.

547
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 7: We need to know everything that David Sax owns. We

548
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 7: need to know every person involved in crypto. We need

549
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 7: to know what they own because they're put in a

550
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 7: position where crony capital can be very simple. Most people

551
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 7: don't understand crypto they do, so they do need to

552
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 7: educate and disclose their holdings so that we know that

553
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 7: there is a bipartisan, neutral person in charge that's making

554
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 7: these decisions to decide what is what and what the

555
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 7: crypto companies need to do. I think they provide value

556
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 7: to the world. I'm all for competitive currencies. I think

557
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 7: we should have bitcoin, we should have crypto, we should

558
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 7: have the dollar. Let them all compete in an open

559
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 7: market and have people who have no vested interest being

560
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 7: the referee. So if you're the referee and you're a

561
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 7: Cowboys fan, we're going to probably side with the Cowboys

562
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 7: a little bit. And we should be looking at our

563
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 7: government officials, especially ones making changes to new environments like

564
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 7: AI and crypto. We should be looking to people who

565
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 7: have regulatory background, experience, and that have no skin in

566
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 7: the game. That's so important to have. We just went

567
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 7: through fifty years of skin in the game, and the

568
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 7: last thing we want to see is a bunch of

569
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 7: special interests running operations in our government insider trading. You know,

570
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 7: we want to make sure that what happened with like

571
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 7: Nancy Pelosi's of the world doesn't happen in the crypto environment,

572
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 7: and I think it's important that every person in bitcoin,

573
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 7: crypto and those who don't own any assets get that clarity,

574
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 7: not just from the government, but we need to have

575
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 7: better educators in the private sector that allow for open

576
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 7: question and answer and adult dialogue to explain the differences

577
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 7: between crypto, bitcoin, stable coins, and CBDCs. It's a very

578
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 7: blended environment right now that needs education. Or like referees

579
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 7: in the Kansas City chiefs might be a good.

580
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: Comparison.

581
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 7: That's probably that's probably the best example.

582
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 4: So let's take a look at the roll banks moving forward.

583
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: Then does the emerging crypto market create more customers and

584
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 3: opportunities or do you think it costs them relevancy?

585
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 7: Well, SAB one twenty one was repealed by Trump, so

586
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 7: that's a legislation Biden put in place that restricted the

587
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 7: banks from holding digital assets now the way that they

588
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 7: could hold them, but when they held digital assets previous.

589
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 7: So banks do hold bitcoin, we know that for a fact.

590
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 7: Everything else is kind of conjecture. They do hold bitcoin,

591
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: but right now they have to take a loss on

592
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 7: their balance sheet. So we're in an environment right now

593
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 7: where banks are literally sitting on billions, if not trillions

594
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 7: of unrealized losses. They need some gains. So now those

595
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 7: loss loss leader assets are now considered to be assets

596
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 7: in the balance sheet, which will help the banks cure

597
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 7: themselves a little bit in the short term. But I

598
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 7: can tell you firsthand, I've spoken with three banks that

599
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 7: in the coming year they're already doing it, but in

600
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 7: the coming year they're going to be using bitcoin as

601
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 7: collateral for mortgages and commercial lending. That is rolling out.

602
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 7: That started in Philadelphia. There's now three banks that are

603
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 7: you know, take a five hundred thousand dollars loan, they're

604
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 7: going to give you five hundred and fifty thousand. Fifty

605
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 7: thousand has to go towards. Bitcoin is collateral that the

606
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 7: banks will hold, and when the loan is paid off,

607
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 7: the bitcoin is yours. That model is coming out already,

608
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 7: so banks will be very excited for this because there's

609
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 7: another lending opportunity for them. It's another opportunity for them

610
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 7: to add assets to their books. And this is why

611
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 7: Trump is looking at digital assets, because our country is

612
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 7: no different than a bank. We have a ton of

613
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 7: unfunded liabilities, thirty seven trillion dollars in debt that's also

614
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 7: a liability looking at it from an accounting perspective, you

615
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 7: need assets to balance out the liabilities, and crypto moves

616
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 7: really fast. So I think bitcoin has a very solid

617
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 7: position in this country moving forward. Crypto will too, as

618
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 7: soon as regulations are put in place.

619
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you what crypto moves fast. I learned

620
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: that when the trump coin dropped the other night. I

621
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: learned a lot about crypto from all of that. So

622
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 3: brushing up, I'm going to have to listen to your podcast, Eric,

623
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: thanks so much for being with us.

624
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 7: Thanks guys, God bless.

625
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: You, God Glass you too. All right.

626
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 3: Later in the show, Pastor Ben Graham joins us to

627
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 3: talk about how President Trump is inspiring Americans to reconnect

628
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 3: with their faith.

629
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Special Report.

630
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 2: It is cold and flu season, but should we be

631
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: running out to get the flu shot? Doctor Kelly Victory

632
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: of the Wellness Company joins us to discuss and talk

633
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: just about that.

634
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: Doctor Victory, thanks so much for joining us.

635
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 15: Thanks very much for having me.

636
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 14: Of course, so it.

637
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: Is January, so seasonal flu infection rates are surging. I

638
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 3: know I feel a little rough right now, both panicking

639
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 3: that I said that, now I've.

640
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: Already had it. I have come, months, come and gone.

641
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 3: I think, well, for Americans who aren't interested in taking

642
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 3: the flu vaccine, what do you recommend to stay healthy

643
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 3: and also to recover quickly if you do get sick well.

644
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 15: Respiratory viruses, as you said, are cyclical, whether it's rhinovirus, coronavirus,

645
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 15: or influenza. We traditionally see an uptick in these during

646
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 15: the winter months for a number of reasons, including the

647
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 15: fact that people are indoors more often when are not opens,

648
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 15: there's less airflow, and people have lower levels of vitamin

649
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 15: D because they're outside less they get less natural sunlight.

650
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 15: All of that said, the best thing people can do

651
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 15: is to take care of and be shepherds of their

652
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 15: own immune systems, and this means always paying attention to

653
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 15: the basics good nutrition, adequate sleep, regular exercise, supplementing vitamin D,

654
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 15: including in the summer months, and those sorts of things,

655
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 15: good hand washing, hygiene, and those sorts of things. The

656
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 15: idea that we can continually vaccinate ourselves to good health,

657
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 15: I think is folly, and we need to get off

658
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 15: of the vaccine train, not because I'm quote anti vaccine,

659
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 15: but because it doesn't behoove your immune system to constantly

660
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 15: flog it with vaccine after vaccine after vaccine, rather than

661
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 15: taking care of your overall health and wellness. In addition,

662
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 15: we have a multitude of medications and treatments that we

663
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 15: can use to treat upper respiratory viruses even when you

664
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 15: do get ill. That includes everything like osul, tamavir or tamiflu,

665
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 15: which we include in our kits from the Wellness Company,

666
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 15: as well as the multitude of over the counter medications, decongestionins, antistamines,

667
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 15: cough medications, and those sorts of things. So I think

668
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 15: we would do better to focus less on when to

669
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 15: get the next vaccine, the next shot, and pay more

670
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 15: attention to health and wellness in general.

671
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: How effective is doctor Victory the flu vaccine this year?

672
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: You know, we get mixed reports and mixed messages on it,

673
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 2: and you know, some people just want to take it

674
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: because maybe it's the placebo they think it will help them.

675
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: Is it effective this year or will we not know

676
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 2: until the statistics come out next year?

677
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 15: Great question. The flu vaccine is always based on the

678
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 15: best guess of the scientists who created in terms of

679
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 15: what they think will be the strain of outbreak in

680
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 15: any a particular year. In a really good year, the

681
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 15: flu vaccine is maybe fifty to sixty percent effective. In

682
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 15: allows a year, it can be well less than twenty

683
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 15: percent effective. So again, you are taking a shot with

684
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 15: a limited chance of it actually affecting whether or not

685
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 15: you contract influenza or how ill you become, and you're

686
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 15: asking your immune system to continually respond to yet another

687
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 15: foreign agent. So I believe that for most people, people

688
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 15: who don't have significant underlying medical conditions, for example, people

689
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 15: who are under the age of sixty, people who don't

690
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 15: have diabetes or heart heart disease or other things that

691
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 15: would put them at significant risk, I think they are

692
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 15: better off paying attention to overall health and wellness, having,

693
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 15: for example, things on hand like what we provide in

694
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 15: our kits from the wellness company, so that you have

695
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 15: something already in hand and should you become ill. But

696
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 15: for most people, I don't think that the flu shot

697
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 15: is indicated. I can't tell any one person what to do,

698
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 15: but I can say that in more than thirty five

699
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 15: years as a physician, I have never taken an influenza vaccine,

700
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 15: and I'm face to face with sick people on a

701
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 15: regular basis when I'm practicing clinically.

702
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 4: This is a brave claim here.

703
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: This is interesting, you know, doctor Victory, we do have

704
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 3: all the kits here. I feel like Vanna White right

705
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 3: now showcasing all of them. But they really are great.

706
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 4: And you know, doctor Peter mccallough has of vines against

707
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 4: taking the flu vaccine.

708
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 3: I know that you said you haven't as well. What

709
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: are the downsides to taking it?

710
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 15: Well, all of medicine is based on a risk benefit calculation,

711
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 15: in other words, weighing your risks of a particular disease

712
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 15: or illness against the possible risks or benefits of the treatment.

713
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 15: And as I said, continually taking vaccinations and asking your

714
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 15: immune system to respond to a foreign protein, which is

715
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 15: what's in vaccines, to respond to something and mount an

716
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 15: immune response isn't necessarily good for It's not what we

717
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 15: were intended to do. We've become very addicted, if you will,

718
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 15: to vaccines. There's always the risk of a severe side

719
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 15: effect on anything from an allergic reaction to neurologic complications,

720
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 15: and so I think for most people, unless you have

721
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 15: an underlying health condition that would put you at severe

722
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,560
Speaker 15: risk of a bad outcome from influenza than I think

723
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 15: paying attention to your overall health is a better way

724
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 15: to go. The kits that we have.

725
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,160

Speaker 5: on the promises he made during his time on the

758
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 5: campaign trail. His influence and leadership has inspired many Americans

759
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 5: to reconnect with their faith, with a resurgence of Christian

760
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:31,360

Speaker 1: Well.

766
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 2: Pastor, you were working with the Trump transition team ahead

767
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 2: of his inauguration this week, walk us through what experience,

768
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 2: what that experience was like, and how Trump is restoring

769
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: Christianity throughout America.

770
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 10: You know, it was like a light switch being flipped on.

771
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 10: I mean as soon as he took the oath of office.

772
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 10: Obviously he's hit the ground running. He's all over the

773
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 10: placement in North care Lina today heading to California, and

774
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 10: it's been amazing. And if you say yes to working

775
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 10: with President Trump, you're going to be busy. And so

776
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 10: it's been a WorldWind of a week already. But it's

777
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 10: been awesome and it's been so exciting, and I think

778
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 10: for a lot of people they feel like they can

779
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 10: breathe again. And for me as a pastor, I believe

780
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 10: we've been given another chance to try to fix some

781
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 10: things in our nation. For so long, we've allowed the

782
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 10: wont culture to sneak in and unfortunately it's changed the narrative.

783
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,720
Speaker 10: And President Trump has stepped in. He's been a breath

784
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,479
Speaker 10: of fresh air again. And I believe it's a chance

785
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 10: for us to reconnect with our faith and be reminded

786
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 10: what made this nation such a great nation, and that

787
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 10: was the biblical principles we were founded upon.

788
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 5: Past I really love the way you described that the

789
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 5: lights are now turned on in America. In fact, the

790
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 5: lights were on at the White House until six am

791
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 5: after inauguration night leading leading into Tuesday, and everyone was saying,

792
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 5: it's great to finally have a president back in the

793
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 5: White House getting to work for I do want to

794
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 5: get your thoughts on this as well, though this is

795
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 5: not something I've really seen a lot of media outlets covering,

796
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 5: but Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha, she's the first

797
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 5: Indian American second Lady, and she's actually a devout Hindu.

798
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 5: In the days after the inauguration, the Google searches about

799
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 5: her religion peaked.

800
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 14: Many Americans are growing more.

801
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 5: And more curious about the Second Lady's background. JD was

802
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 5: baptized Catholic and he's actually credited his wife for expanding

803
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 5: his perspective on faith. So despite their differing religious beliefs,

804
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: their relationship remains strong. Usha often she accompanies JD at church. Again,

805
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 5: I wish where people were talking about this. Do you

806
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 5: think that this sets a great example for our country

807
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 5: to respect and love one another despite our differences.

808
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 8: Well?

809
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 10: Absolutely, And you know the reality is America was founded

810
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 10: that you can believe in God however you see fit.

811
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 10: In the Hindu faith, they believe in multiple gods and

812
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 10: so that's part of their belief and so that's why

813
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 10: I think she's able to do that. But I promise

814
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 10: you this that both JD and his wife are being

815
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 10: immersed in faith like they've never been before. Because so

816
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 10: many of the Trump supporters are of faith believers, they're Christians,

817
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 10: and of course there's a lot of Christians who are

818
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 10: fighting against Trump. But one of the things that's happening

819
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 10: through all this is faith and religion is being talked

820
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 10: about a whole lot more and people are looking into it.

821
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 10: Why I wrote the book this past year, Ignorance and

822
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 10: Apathy too of America's deadliest sins. It's something that we've

823
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 10: got to wake up, recognize what is going on, find

824
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,839
Speaker 10: out what we believe, why we believe it, and don't

825
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 10: let other people force us into their beliefs. But let's

826
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 10: find out for ourselves. What does God's words say, what

827
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 10: religion is there? And why do I believe what I believe?

828
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 2: Pastor National Bible Sunday is coming up on January twenty sixth.

829
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 2: That's a day to celebrate all the teachings of Jesus

830
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 2: and read passages from Without a Doubt, the most popular

831
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 2: book ever. Bible sales were up twenty two percent in

832
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four in the US. What do you attribute

833
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 2: this found desire to be close to the Lord and

834
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 2: follow in his footsteps? Because I'd always heard or read

835
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: that religion and attendance in church was actually on the decline.

836
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 2: So with these sales going up, how do you compare those?

837
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,239
Speaker 10: I would say it goes back to something very basic. Nowadays,

838
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 10: people find sources for news everywhere, social media, we have

839
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 10: all kinds of networks that's popped up. And one of

840
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 10: the problems that's happened today is so many people don't

841
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 10: know what to believe is true, and so they're looking

842
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 10: for truth. And God's word says it like this, His

843
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 10: word is true, and so people are going back, going

844
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 10: maybe there's something there. A lot of people's parents or

845
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 10: grandparents were grounded in the faith of God's word. They

846
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 10: know that many of our founding fathers look to the

847
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 10: word of God for answers, and it's driving people back

848
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 10: to that and saying, maybe there's something there. Because everybody

849
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 10: is looking for some kind of hope, they're looking for

850
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 10: some kind of help, and of course I'm here to

851
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 10: share it with people. We find that hope in Jesus Christ,

852
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 10: and I hope they'll look to God's word to get

853
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 10: that help and that hope that can come.

854
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 6: And after the last.

855
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 10: Four years, a lot of people are feeling pretty helpless,

856
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 10: but I think they're filling hope again, not only because

857
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 10: of our president, but because of the faith that our

858
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 10: president is looking to to guide him.

859
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 8: Yeah.

860
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 14: I think you're absolutely right.

861
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 5: And you know, in fact, book sales in general have

862
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 5: been down recently.

863
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 14: It's not just attendance to church.

864
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,720
Speaker 5: So it's great to see that people are actually picking

865
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 5: up physical copies of the Bible. We in fact have

866
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 5: a copy of the God Bless the USA Bible here

867
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 5: with us today.

868
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 14: It's also known as the Trump Bible. This version also.

869
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 5: Includes copies of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and

870
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 5: lyrics to Lee Greenwood's iconic patrionic song Patriotic Song. Of course,

871
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 5: we understand that there was a special inauguration edition that

872
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 5: was just released this week. Tell us more about that.

873
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, you can get a special inauguration edition which is tremendous.

874
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 10: And I've had a lot of people say, is that

875
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 10: blasphemist that you guys have put this stuff in with

876
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 10: the Bible, And we always remind.

877
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 6: People we're not adding to Scripture.

878
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 10: We're not taking away, but rather what we're showing is

879
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 10: our founding documents were founded upon the principles of God's word.

880
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 10: Our founding fathers look to their creator, They look to

881
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 10: the Word of God to help guide and shape our nation.

882
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 10: And so we're putting them in there as a reminder

883
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 10: that we have the country we have because our founding

884
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 10: fathers look to Scripture.

885
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 6: And so if you want to have.

886
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 10: A solid foundation in your marriage, if you want to

887
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 10: have a solid foundation your home, in your business, whatever

888
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 10: it is, the best source you can go to is

889
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 10: God's Word. And this Sunday being National Bible Sunday, we're

890
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 10: out promoting, pushing, reminding people go to the Word of God,

891
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 10: get in there, find out what it has to say

892
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 10: for yourselves. Don't just take the word of a preacher

893
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 10: or priest, don't just take the word of other people,

894
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 10: but look into Scripture for yourself, and in there you

895
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 10: can find messages that will help guide every step of

896
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 10: your life.

897
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, pastor, I know that my dad, when he was living,

898
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 2: he would send me off in a Bible verse of

899
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: the day, and usually it was from Proverbs, because pretty

900
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: much everything from that book can be used as wisdom

901
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: in your daily life. That's one of the easiest books

902
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 2: to go to and it doesn't matter who you are,

903
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: and you'll find some wisdom in it. I want to

904
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 2: ask you about your book Ignorance and Apathy, two of

905
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: America's deadliest sins.

906
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: You brought it up earlier.

907
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: Explain for us how our country can overcome these sins

908
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 2: and reclaim the true meaning of one nation under God.

909
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 10: Well, this book was really written to Christians, two believers,

910
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 10: and what it is is, over the last twenty five years,

911
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,680
Speaker 10: we've bought into the message that we're to be silent.

912
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 10: We're not to you know, offend. We don't want to

913
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 10: speak what we believe because it might hurts my feelings.

914
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 10: And so a lot of Christians have become either ignorant

915
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 10: to what's going on, or they've become apathetic and they

916
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 10: just don't care. And as a result of being silent,

917
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 10: it has brought us to the place where we have

918
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 10: been the last few years, and that is that the

919
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 10: Christian faith, you know, has really been unfortunately, has been

920
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 10: very weakened. And in the early eighteen hundreds, there was

921
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 10: a Boston paper that wrote a scathing letter saying how

922
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 10: Christians went to the church to get their news because

923
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 10: they didn't trust the newspaper and fake news was around

924
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 10: back then apparently. And unfortunately people can't even go to

925
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 10: the church houses many times because many pastors have quit

926
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 10: teaching the word of God. And they said, well, we

927
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 10: don't want to offend anybody. And I remind people, listen,

928
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 10: it's not my words, it's not your words, so don't

929
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 10: worry about it.

930
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 6: God said it.

931
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 10: We just delivered the message, and you're right. I used

932
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 10: to read still do this in Proverbs the day since

933
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 10: I was sixteen, because there's something about it that just

934
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 10: gives you wisdom and guidance, and it's so important that

935
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 10: people go back to that. And in this book, I

936
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 10: just really felt it was important people understood the history

937
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 10: of our founding and what made our nation great. And

938
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,400
Speaker 10: so in President Trump's declaration Let's make America great Again,

939
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 10: We've been able to really speak to this truth with

940
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 10: him that if we're going to do that, faith plays

941
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 10: such a vital role. That's what made us great as

942
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 10: a nation, our faith in God. And we must still

943
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 10: remain one nation under God if we're going to really

944
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 10: do something great again.

945
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 14: Yeah, well, said pastor.

946
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 5: I mean, faith is really the foundation of all of

947
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 5: our American values. And I think it's great that President

948
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 5: and Trump has been credited so much with this resurgence

949
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 5: in Christianity, you know, Bible sales being up.

950
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 14: But I do want to get your take on this quickly.

951
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if you had a chance to watch

952
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,040
Speaker 5: any of the inauguration, watch the swearing in. He didn't

953
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 5: put his hand on the Bible during that moment. What

954
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 5: was your reaction to that, especially from a guy who's

955
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 5: getting so much credit, you know, for supporting Christianity.

956
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was actually there for everything.

957
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,720
Speaker 10: I was there at the Washington Cathedral with the unbelievable message,

958
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 10: and I don't mean that in a positive way. And

959
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 10: I had a lot of people ask about the Bible,

960
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 10: and they asked about how did that happen? That message?

961
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 10: He had nothing to do with the choosing of who

962
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 10: spoke at the prayer event on Tuesday on the Bible thing.

963
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,800
Speaker 10: Just to be honest, Justice Roberts rushed it. He didn't

964
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 10: give Milania a chance to really get up there. He

965
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 10: was moving forward and she was standing kind of awkwardly

966
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 10: behind him, and he just swore in and it was

967
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 10: an oversight, but I can assure you this that he

968
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 10: has proven and will continue to prove that faith and

969
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 10: the Bible is very much an important part of his administration.

970
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 10: We have faith directors that will be working in every department,

971
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 10: working directly with those secretaries to make sure that people

972
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 10: of faith, of all faith are represented and that they

973
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 10: have a voice in this administration.

974
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 6: And so you will find that he's.

975
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 10: Not going to shy away from the fact that he

976
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 10: loves God's word and he loves the things of God.

977
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 6: And he has said this since the bullet hit him.

978
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 10: He believes that he's here for such a time as this,

979
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 10: and I believe now more than ever, he really believes

980
00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 10: that God has spared him and put him here for

981
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 10: this time.

982
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 6: And so he's not going to turn his.

983
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 10: Back on God because God didn't turn his back on him.

984
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 10: And his faith has not only been strengthened, but he's

985
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,360
Speaker 10: more serious about what he believes when it comes to

986
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 10: the things of God.

987
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely, a pastor, thank you so much for being on

988
