So Michael 2 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: Very Show. 3 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: Is on the air. 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Good morning, Captain, Good morning, Captain, Good morning, Captain, Good morning, Captain, 5 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: good morning, good morning. 6 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: And Captain, come on out and say, wake up the 7 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 2: sunshine to share this rate today. Good morning in Captain, 8 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: it's morning. 9 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: So we've seen because we're Herbie see and you're good 10 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: timetown's free. Everybody's seeing. Good morning, Good. 11 00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: Morning, the sunshine. 12 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever told you this for him, 13 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: but I used to have a coworker who was really 14 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: good at excel, but she would gossip about everybody in 15 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: the office constantly. She really loved a spreadsheet. During the 16 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: first President Bush, his one and only term, George H. W. Bush, 17 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: Saddam Hussein had been on the American payroll for most 18 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: of the eighties in a coordinated effort, a sort of 19 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: divide and conquer, whereby the United States would assist in 20 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: the Iraq Iran War, a war that doesn't get a 21 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: lot of publicity, but one of the most brutal of 22 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 1: the modern era, including the extensive use of chemical warfare, 23 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: and America's military was testing some things that we might 24 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: want to use later. By allowing it to be used 25 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: by the Iraqis on the Iranis too, or Iranian if 26 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: you prefer its up to you in case we would 27 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: want to use it. That's how these wars are fought. 28 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: And Saddam got too big for his breeches, and as 29 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, he would invade Kuwait in Houston's own oil well, 30 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: fire fighting legend would be sent to tamp it down. 31 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: And we can't tolerate that. He got out of hand, 32 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: and so we thumped him. Norman Schwartzkoff was a general 33 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: who was very, very keen to suck up the airtime 34 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: at that moment, and he announced a campaign of what 35 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: was called shock and awe. And the idea of shock 36 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,959 Speaker 1: and awe was, We're not going to phase in this thing. 37 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna hit them from every direction at the same time. 38 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: They've never seen anything like this. Oh and by night, 39 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: I know we've got some folks in our audience because 40 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: I've heard from you who were there, who were serving, 41 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: who were part of it. You were part of the 42 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: shock and all. How cool I hold my manhood cheap 43 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: against you for the rest of your life. You were 44 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: at a great moment. We talk about D Day we 45 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: talk about moments that are important. That was an important moment, 46 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: and it told the world these people are not to 47 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: be jacked with that shock and awe had Saddam Hussein 48 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: who referred to this forthcoming battle as being the mother 49 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: of all battles. He was trying to will his men 50 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: to be tougher, but they weren't. We were told at 51 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: the time it was the third largest army in the world, 52 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: and they were well trained, and they were coming out 53 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: of war and lamb from every different direction. He never 54 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: seen anything like that, never seen anything like that. That's 55 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: what Trump is doing. That is what Trump is doing. 56 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: I read a post this morning by a guy named 57 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: John Conrad to fifth I don't know him, but he 58 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: actually owns a maritime news source. But I thought he 59 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: explained this very very well. He wrote, I opened my 60 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: New York Times app today. They're trying, but they can't 61 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: keep up. He's some about the New York Times news 62 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage. 63 00:04:54,680 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: This is crucial. The entire liberal deep state command and 64 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 1: control system is broken. Let me explain. He's really onto something. 65 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: And funny thing is, I was thinking about this in 66 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: the shower this morning. But he said it in a 67 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: way that structured my thoughts, So I'm gonna read what 68 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 1: he said. The New York Times is primary function is 69 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: not journalism, its narrative coordination, setting the frame so the 70 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: entire political media machine knows how to think about an 71 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: issue before it takes off. This is really good. Ever, 72 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: notice how overnight everyone starts saying Biden as sharp as 73 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: attack or jd Vance is weird. It's not random. It's 74 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: a system, the narrative pipeline how the blob operates. The 75 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: New York Times, NPR, WAPO, Washington Post, CNN, and the 76 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: rest don't just react to news. They function as a distributed, 77 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: decentralized mission command system for the Democrat Party and the 78 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: broader blob. Step one local bureau chiefs. These guys are 79 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: stationed across the country, watching which stories gain traction, and 80 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: fielding calls from Democrat operatives feeding them narratives stories that 81 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: they need to start controlling. Step two New York editors. 82 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: Bureau chiefs snip the news and send it to New York, 83 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: where an editor triages it. Will this explode nationwide? Will 84 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: it simmer for days? Or should we bury it? Step 85 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: three editorial meeting. The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, 86 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: editors decide on the narrative, framing, and who to assign 87 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: to write it. But before they assign a journalist, they 88 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: make one critical call to the deep state. Why to 89 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: give the government a head start on controlling the story. 90 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: At this point, the deep state doesn't just say here's 91 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: what happened. They strategically select sources based on the tone 92 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: they want. If they needed hawkish China rhetoric, they have 93 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: a China hardliner expert on Steve speed Dial. If they 94 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: want to downplay a Chinese spy scandal, they go to 95 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: a dovish China expert who will say it's being blown 96 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: out of proportion. If it's a military scandal, they pick 97 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: a trustworthy retired general to subtly steer the discussion toward 98 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: a desired conclusion. This isn't journalism, its perception warfare. Once 99 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: the tone is set, the editor assigns the story and 100 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: suggests the approved sources to call. The journalist's job is simple, 101 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: get quotes from the right expert, write it up, stick 102 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: to the approved angles. If something goes wrong with the angle, 103 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: for example, a source exposes it as a lie. They 104 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: return to the editor for guidance. Occasionally a journalist oversteps. 105 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: If it's minor, it passes. If it's major, the editor 106 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: kills the piece, buries it on page sixteen, or reassigns 107 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: it to a more trusted writer to correct the framing. 108 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: Overstep too many times and you're reassigned to local news 109 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: or gently. It's not your fault. We love your spark, 110 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: just downsizing. Let go do a really good job sticking 111 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: to the approved script. You'll get awards or book deals 112 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: and travel assignments. Nobody flatly says this award isn't for 113 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: towing the party line, because that would expose can Now, 114 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: these journalists are smart. They either pick up on the 115 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: reward incentives or they're gently pushed to side. This is 116 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: what Trump's doing right now. He has crashed their whole system. 117 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: Must be right. 118 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 1: You're listening to Michael Berry. There wasn't as many as 119 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: there was a while ago. That's what but Trump's doing. 120 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 3: He's got the left in full retreat. If you study 121 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: the Civil War, and Shelby Foote tells the stories very well, 122 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: you will see references to pickets Line or Stonewall Jackson 123 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: pulling up on the side in the middle of a 124 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: battle and unloading and then repositioning, and some of these 125 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 3: some of these strategies were so clever where it was 126 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: like in the Bible at Jericho where they gave the 127 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: impression they were a bigger unit than they were. 128 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: And so what it did is it forced the Union 129 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Army to have to reposition to handle the onslaught coming 130 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: from one side, which meant they would lose their strong 131 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: position against the forces they were fighting, and that would 132 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: alter the battle. And it was what happened. It's complete chockenhaw, 133 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: complete confusion. Mike Leach when he was at Texas Tech, 134 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: they had an article he was on the front cover 135 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: of Texas Monthly and it was one of the best 136 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 1: articles ever written about Mike Leach's coaching style. And they 137 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: brought up the fact that every year he would beat 138 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: either UT or A and M and when he was 139 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: at Texas Tech and some of the other schools as well. 140 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: But the thing about beating UT at A and M, 141 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: not one of his twenty two starters on either side 142 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: of the ball had been offered a scholarship to play 143 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: at either UT or A and M. In other words, 144 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: this is the old bum Phillips line, which some people 145 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 1: credit to Don Chula, But I choose bum Phillips. He 146 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: can take his in and beat urine, and he can 147 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: take urine and beat hisin. He was taking what were 148 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: thought to be inferior players and coaching them up to 149 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: beat teams that physically were bigger, stronger, faster, right, And 150 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: he said the way he did that, the way his 151 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: offense was so number one offense in the country. And 152 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: this scheme worked at Tech, it worked at Kentucky, it 153 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: worked everywhere. He did it. The way he said he 154 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: did it is my player may not be faster or 155 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: bigger or stronger, my offensive, my wide receiver, tight end. 156 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: I don't think he played with that is. But if 157 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: I've got the defensive player for a split second hesitating 158 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: because he doesn't know what I'm going to do, I've 159 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: got an advantage. So that's why he had all the schemes. 160 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: That's why you never saw the same setup. It might 161 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: be trips right on one play, trips left on the next, 162 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: and then he'd put one guy in motion and then 163 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: the next guy. It was just constant confusion. Trump has 164 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: him and this won't last forever, folks. This will be 165 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: hard to keep up, but he's doing it and it's 166 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: a source of the success. Yesterday, Robert F. Kennedy passed 167 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: out of the Senate fourteen thirteen Senate Committee'll go to 168 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: the complete Senate now. Yesterday afternoon, Tulsey Gabbard passed out 169 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: for national intelligence. She was sent to the entire Senate, obviously, 170 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: as you know, there are one hundred senators. Yesterday, President 171 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: Trump announces We're going to take over the Gaza stript, 172 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: make it something you can be proud of, and restore 173 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: the Union. If you could stop and this is a 174 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: tall order, if you could stop the war in the 175 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: Middle East, crush Commas, and stop the fighting, a lot 176 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: of geopolitical pawns would fall back to what this guy said, because, 177 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, I was in the shower thinking about this, 178 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 1: and I get in and I read what he said, 179 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: and it gave a lot of structure to what I 180 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: had been thinking. So he's talking about how the New 181 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: York Times is the enforcer. They give structure to the 182 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: system to create the narrative. And that's why it always 183 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: seems because it is that the left is reading from 184 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: the same script. They're setting that script and then he says, 185 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: suddenly every news outlet, late night host in blue check 186 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,599 Speaker 1: is reinforcing the same message. And because they aren't technically 187 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: taking orders, they think it's their own independent analysis. This 188 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: is why the narrative feels so unified. No one is 189 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: forcing compliance. It's a system that rewards alignment. Now, each 190 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: individual pundit and blog is allowed to post independently, but 191 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: they all know unconsciously to work the narrative because that's 192 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: where the rewards are. If someone breaks the narrative in 193 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: a bug way intentionally, there are three options. Number one, 194 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: smear campaign to make them toxic. Number two ban them 195 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: from the system, Wikipedia, blacklist, social media throttle, no DC party, invites, 196 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: no Pentagon press pass, or number three turn them into 197 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: a double agent who claims to buck the narrative but 198 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: suddenly shifts things left. Barry Weiss is the ultimate genius 199 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: at this. Not all stories emerge organically. Sometimes the deep 200 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: state calls. First, a senior editor gets a call. Everyone 201 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: in DC is talking about how weird jd Vance is. 202 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: The next morning, at the editorial meeting, that becomes people 203 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: are saying jd Vance is weird. Let's get some stories 204 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: on that. Then every editor repeats it to their reporters. 205 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: Did you hear Jdvance is weird? Let's explore that. Suddenly 206 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: every news outlet, late night host, and blue check is 207 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: reinforcing the same message. The deep state tries its best 208 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: to play a soft hand. They let things emerge around 209 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: the narrative and only step in if the narrative is 210 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: evolving in a bad way or new information disturbs the narrative. 211 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: So where does this organic command and control system come from? Well, 212 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you this morning. I'll post a link to 213 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: this in the Daily Blast. You're signed up for it 214 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: at Michael berryshow dot com. Really well written, damn it 215 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 1: all right? This is Mark Chestnut and Jar Bizar of 216 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: talk radio. So President Trump's shock and all campaign has 217 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: the entire media industrial complex on their heels. They don't 218 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: know what to do. They are scrambling. I read a 219 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: series of posts this morning by a fellow named John A. 220 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: Conrad the Fifth, and I would like to conclude his 221 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: statement about what's happening and how the narrative is normally 222 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: set and how Trump is destroying that by throwing too 223 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: many things at him too fast. He says, So where 224 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: does this organic command and control system come from well 225 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: the military, of course. Why this matters the mission comm 226 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: and model. This decentralized coordination mirrors how the best militaries 227 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: operate through a doctrine called mission command. A bad general 228 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: micromanages move three platoons and six tanks around this road 229 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: and attack the base. A good general gives flexibility. Take 230 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: this logistics base by x time. Figure out the best way. 231 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: A great general sets intent. We need to cripple their 232 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: supply lines. Here's what we know about their logistics. The 233 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: best commanders set objectives, not orders, then let their officers 234 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: adapt on the ground. This is exactly how the New 235 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: York Times and the Blob operate. They don't give direct 236 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: orders to every outlet. They set the intent how the 237 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: political media machine should think about an issue, then think tanks, columnists, 238 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: TV hosts, an activists execute their own variations of the message. 239 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: Why Republicans keep losing the narrative war Republicans don't have 240 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: this No clear commander's intent, no unified messaging framework, no 241 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: ecosystem where think tanks, media and party strategists move in 242 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: the same direction. Instead, it's chaotic, reactive, and uncoordinated. Meanwhile, 243 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: Democrats operate like a well oiled mission command system, not 244 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: because of a single top down controller, but because every 245 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,479 Speaker 1: key player understands their role in pushing the message. And 246 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: until Republicans build a competing system, they'll always be playing defense. 247 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: But Trump has broken the Democrats mission command system. The 248 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: famed fighter pilot John Boyd, who literally wrote the manual 249 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: for Top Gun, came up with the OODA loop. I'm 250 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: assuming that's the UDA loop. If I got that wrong, 251 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: you're free to correct me. UDA is a process for 252 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: making better calculated decisions FASTERODA observe, orient decide act. I 253 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: can't go into all the details on how the food 254 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: system works. If you can throw a lot of information 255 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: at an enemy, information of all kinds, including false information, 256 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: they start to get overloaded. This is what is called 257 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: the fog of war. Now military have been doing fake 258 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: attacks and fake information and maneuvering around objectives objectives for centuries. 259 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: But what Boyd found is you can't just overload the 260 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: enemy system because your troops will also get overloaded with information. 261 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: What you have to do is move and adapt, thrown 262 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: out a ton of information, then let your officers change frequently. 263 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: In the field. An officer might bypass the logistics base 264 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: and go for the train rail. But then misinformation causes 265 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 1: the enemy to abandon the base, so the officer will 266 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: turn around and destroy it. In a fighter jet, you 267 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: might fly straight so the enemy thinks you have a problem. 268 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: Then when he's on your tail, most people would push 269 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: the throttle. Boyd said it might be better to drop 270 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: the flops as a break to make the enemy fly 271 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: right past you be unpredictable. Boyd called this maneuver warfare 272 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: because you're always maneuvering around the enemy. If you can 273 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: not only throw out more information, but move a lot 274 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: faster than your enemy and change tactics on the fly, 275 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 1: you will quote get inside the enemy's udah loop and 276 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: win easily. This is exactly what Trump is doing. The 277 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: sheer number of stories is absolutely overloading the New York 278 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: Times app. New York Times editors do not have time 279 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,959 Speaker 1: to coordinate the deep state and coax the process. Trump 280 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: is completely overloading the information distribution system. And he's not 281 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: just overloaded the system, he's moving fast and adapting tactics. Instance, 282 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: in Panama, he was demanding the canal, but then when 283 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: he went down there took a quick win with giving 284 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: Navy ships, free transit and kicking China. Then he's on 285 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,239 Speaker 1: to Canadian tariffs before the New York Times editors can 286 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: figure out what the hell happened in Panama, and well 287 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: before they can develop, and well before they can develop 288 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 1: a narrative for Panama. Boyd didn't just teach us how 289 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: to defeat the enemy. He taught us how to recognize 290 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: when you're already winning. The easiest way to tell the 291 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 1: enemy starts making really dumb moves. They waste AMMO shooting 292 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: into empty forest, convinced you're still there when you actually 293 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: left two days ago. They fly in a They fly 294 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: in a senior general to bark orders, trying to reassert 295 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: control over a situation already spiraling out of their hands. 296 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: Sound familiar, That's exactly what the Democrats are doing right now. 297 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is firing off a constant stream of bombastic orders, 298 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: desperate to override events he can't control. Let's take a 299 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: look at those. So you've got Chuck Schumer trying to 300 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: rally his troops. They know they're being defeated. This is 301 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: clip number nineteen. 302 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: Ramon go, I'm gonna stand with you in this fight. 303 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: And we will win. We will win. We will win. 304 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: We will win. We will win. 305 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 3: We will we won't rest. 306 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 2: We won't rest. 307 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: We won't rest, we won't rest. 308 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: Thank you everybody. 309 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Oh wow, we did a chant chanting. 310 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 2: They deleted smarre chance important chanting hasten important? 311 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's right. Hint, it does make things 312 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: sound important. John Stewart, usually a relatively reliable liberal, if 313 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: not spokesman for the left, said you got to stop 314 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: with the Chuck Schumer Democrats. Can you please stop trotting 315 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: Schumer out there every time. 316 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 2: Trump traverses into the unreal He's not good at this. 317 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 2: What is the decision making process here? Hey? Who should 318 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: we get out there to. 319 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: Effectively battle one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators 320 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: in history. I don't know how about Schumer. He's uninteresting, 321 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: but at least he's monotone. Oh wait, and Chuck, before 322 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: you go out there, you look too young. 323 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: Put on these. 324 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 3: Readers and lower them on your nose. 325 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: Perfect. Honestly, listening to Chuck Schumer speak on almost any tomic. 326 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: Makes me want to bomb. Can imagine the genius responsible 327 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: for the staging. We'll have Schumer, We'll have Schumer out there, 328 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,880 Speaker 1: and he'll say, we're gonna win. We're gonna win. We're 329 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna win, We're gonna win. We're gonna win. Everybody together, 330 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna win everybody. Come on, we're gonna win. Come on, 331 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna win. We're not gonna rest. That's how you 332 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: know you're losing badly. Yeah, but you don't have any color. 333 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 1: You're like an old white guy. Okay, here's Maxine, here's 334 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: Al Green. Where's Sheila Jackson Lee? Sheila would have been 335 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: throwing some sharp elbows. She would have said something so 336 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: stupefyingly stupid. I miss her. That's why I had my guitar. 337 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: Probably had a tune. 338 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: Now you might have to edit that. 339 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: This is Mark Chestnut and Jar Bizaar of Talk Radio. 340 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: We do not talk enough about Francesco Steven Costalluccio aka 341 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: Frankie Valley. We need to fix that. I'm at a 342 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: point in my life and thank goodness for the Internet. 343 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: I don't know what my parents would have done when 344 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: they were my age and this was happening. But I'm 345 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: at a point in my life where everybody that I 346 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: liked is either dead or could be. And so you know, 347 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: you play my eyes adored you, and I go, ah, man, 348 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: I love Frankie Valley. I wonder if he's still alive. 349 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: So the good news is we got the WWW. You go, oh, 350 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: he's ninety years old. It'll be ninety one May third. Wow, 351 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: that's increble. But in the past you just had to 352 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: kind of wonder. And at fifty four, all my friends, 353 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: I usually make it the case to get to know 354 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: my friend's parents, so you know, you want to check 355 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: and see how their parents are doing. So for friends 356 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: of mine that are about my age, when I talked 357 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: to them, I can't ask how their parents are doing 358 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: because their mom or dad might have died a year ago, 359 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: and that's weird. I mean, that's just creepy. But I 360 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: can't keep up with everything all the time. I'm not 361 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: making excuses, but you know they may not have they made. 362 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm private with that stuff. I don't I don't want 363 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: to blast it. I don't want a million people sending condolences. 364 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: It's a distraction. You keep moving forward. That's my way 365 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: of dealing with things. Other people have their own way. 366 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: But I'm at a point now where I can't ask, you, know, how, 367 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: how how's your mom? Doing because that creates a very 368 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: very awkward situation. I uh, I spoke to Mama Martha yesterday, 369 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: Ramone's beloved mother. I needed some mommy time and my 370 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: mama not being alive. I called Ramonte or texted Ramone's mother, 371 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: and we had a very sweet exchange. She is Ramone's 372 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: mother is straight out of Central casting for the uh 373 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: Chicano mom who loves her son and is always available. 374 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: You see these stories where like Ted Bundy's mom is 375 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: going but he's a good kid. Mama Martha would be 376 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: there on the stand when Ramon was discovered to be 377 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: a serial killer and say he was such a good boy. 378 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: He really was. After she left, I lived boring. 379 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,439 Speaker 3: He was hiding behind the tieving pupid. 380 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: She's got just the right voice, just the right delivery, 381 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: just the right everything. I mean, she's just perfect. It's 382 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: just perfect for I feel like I'm in a sitcom 383 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: with her, which is perfect. And then his dad, his 384 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: dad is the quintessential man who's married to her. He's 385 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: real quiet. You know, she says when we're if they're 386 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, if they're visiting, So she says, when we're 387 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: gonna leave, and he's okay, he does not stay drunk 388 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: all day. Stop it. You love to be goofy, but 389 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 1: he is like that perfect you know, little my Dad's 390 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 1: a lot like this. You have to watch him for 391 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: a while to realize how cute he is. And I 392 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: mean cute like a little boy, cute, just adorable. You know. 393 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: There was the story of they have a family text message, 394 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: and he had sent a text to this family text 395 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,479 Speaker 1: message asking where the Viny Sausages were? Has anybody seen him? 396 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: Here's Ramon and his whole family and a radio show 397 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: that he's running in, a podcast that he's putting together, 398 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: and all these different things he's doing. And then his 399 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: daughter and then his sister and the whole family's out there. 400 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: And then they're getting a text, Hey, you might see 401 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: a Vinnie Sausages at their house. You know, nobody on 402 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 1: this list lives there. And so it became a running 403 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: joke treasure hunt as to where the Viny Sausages were. 404 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: And then they who were the people in Chicago. It 405 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: wasn't even the Viny Sausages. 406 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 2: It was. 407 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: Be Franks, it's another brand. They saw my tweet and 408 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: they offered to send to replace his Viny Sausages and instead, 409 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: they called their location down here and they had the guide. 410 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: They asked if they could get his address. They had 411 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: the guid deliver like a cartload of the other sausages. 412 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,479 Speaker 1: Ramon Senior didn't know what to do, like, what are 413 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: we what are we gonna do with all these sausages? Anyway, 414 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: it became a funny exchange. I say all that to 415 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: say this. When the world's getting you down, just remember 416 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: two things. Number One, old people will make you feel 417 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: much better because they generally they might be grumpy, but 418 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: if you listen carefully, they generally have good advice, and 419 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: they've experienced a lot more than you have. And they're 420 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: not on their phone all day. They're not You can 421 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: have a conversation without them, you know, with two thumbs 422 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 1: going wild responding to somebody who's not in their presence. 423 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: They actually will engage with you. They will talk to 424 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: you can call them and they'll pick up and they're 425 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: happy to talk to you. It's crazy. I mean, it's 426 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: a soul fashioned. If you engage with them, they're just 427 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: delighted to engage. You can ask their advice or happy 428 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: to give it because nobody listens to them anymore, although 429 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 1: they should you know, in Asian societies, the seniority was respected, 430 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: the elderly were exalted. There was a scene last week 431 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: when Cash Patel was walking into the Senate hearing and 432 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 1: for six hours they hammered him, I mean hammered him. 433 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: And he gave as well as he took. Very very 434 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: sharp guy. You look at Cashptel's eyes, they're a little 435 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: off kilter. He has got what I call that genius 436 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: Indian gene. And I've told my wife this, there's certain Indians. 437 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: There was a guy named Chandrashaker. He won the Nobel 438 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 1: Prize for mathematics. But if you hear him talk, it's 439 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: what you imagine Einstein would sound like, just sort of 440 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: the mutterings of a genius. Einstein would supposedly go for 441 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: six hour walks. Just go out six hour walks. Sometime 442 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: you forget to put his shoes on. The little girl 443 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: next door with his goloshes. She would have to remind him, 444 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: mister alb but you have to put your just as 445 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: just mad rambling genius. Cash Ptel has that look very intense. Look, 446 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: my wife has a cousin has eyes like that kind 447 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: of scary. They're a little bit bugged out. But as 448 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: he was walking in to be eviscerated, he stopped. His 449 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: parents were at the edge of one of the rows, 450 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: and he fell to his knees and he touched his 451 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 1: parents feet. In India, you respect the elderly and touching 452 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: their feet is the ultimate supplication. Jesus washed the feet 453 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: of the disciples because your feet are dirty. You know 454 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: your feet. You know we're walking through the sand walk 455 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: So you're touching that person and supplicating yourself and saying 456 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: you are my parent. He did that knowing he was 457 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: on American television, knowing he's about to be the most 458 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 1: powerful person, and he supplicated himself before his parents. Sh 459 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: I admire that. I admire that so much. We could 460 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 1: stand to supplicate ourselves before our parents, honor our parents more. 461 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: One of the j six political prisoners will be our 462 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: desk coming up.
