1
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: Welcome everybody, and Happy Veterans Day to all of you. This,

2
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: of course, is the Veterans Day edition of Just the News.

3
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: And No Noise.

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Amanda Head here in the nation's capital, Washington,

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: d C. My co host John Solomon is out on

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: assignment tonight, but he's going to rejoin.

7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Me later in the week here in studio.

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, a quick programming note before we get started tonight.

9
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: We may be able to take you inside of mar

10
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: A Lago where there is an event called the Big

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: Blue Bash that's taking place there and it is honoring

12
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: America's veterans and first responders.

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: To make sure you stay tuned for that.

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: But speaking of honoring America's veterans, that is how President

15
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Trump started his morning today speaking at Arlington National Cemetery

16
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: for Veterans Day, and he summed up what America's military

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: means to our great nation.

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Take a listen.

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: Every captain of industry, every pioneer of science, and every

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: star whose brilliance is lit up the lights of Broadway

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: all share one.

22
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 4: Thing in common.

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: They only had the chance to soar because the veterans

24
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: had the courage to serve. They took care of those people.

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 4: They took care of.

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: All the stars, the stars that you read about, wouldn't

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: be here without our veterans. Everything we have, everything our

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: country has achieved, has been purchased by the muscle, spine,

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: and steel of the United States military.

30
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Truer words have never been spoken.

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: But we will have more on Veterans Day and America's

32
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: military in just a second with our very first guests

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: of the night.

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: But before we get to him.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: Let's get to some words that probably aren't true. And

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: of course it deals with the government shutdowns still ongoing,

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: but excuse me, hopefully coming to an end very soon,

38
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: with the Senate voting to advance the cr to open

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: up the government. Now it goes to the House for

40
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: a vote, and wouldn't you know it, a lot of

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: Democrats are not happy with the Democrat senators who cross

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: the aisle and voted to reopen the government, which would

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: pay all those furloughed workers that they claim to care

44
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: about and fully fun things like snap. So here is

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Democrat Congressman Richie Torrez on it.

46
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 5: What do you do those of you who feel the

47
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: way you do, which is very unhappy with the way

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 5: the vote went in the Senate, what do you do

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: to try to turn this around.

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 6: Look, we have no choice but to keep fighting. But

51
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 6: the fact that a few Democratic defectors would surrender to

52
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 6: Donald Trump after the resounding rejection of Donald Trump in

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 6: the twenty twenty five election is utterly baffling. Like that

54
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 6: is not a show of strength, it's a show of weakness.

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, he was not even close

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: to being the only one who apparently feels this way.

57
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Democrats Minority Leader Haakim Jeffries said that under no circumstances

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: will House Democrats support the cr So.

59
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 7: Our expectation that the House will vote at some point

60
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 7: tomorrow and House Democrats will strongly oppose any legislation that

61
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 7: does not decisively address the Republican healthcare crisis. We want

62
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 7: to reopen the government. We'll continue to stand by our

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 7: hard working federal employees and civil servants. But we have

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 7: a responsibility to make sure that we extend the Affordable

65
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 7: Care Act tax credits so that tens of millions of

66
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 7: Americans don't experience dramatically increase healthcare costs. That's going to

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 7: prevent them from being able to see a doctor when

68
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 7: they need one.

69
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: So we're going to have to wait and see what

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: happens when that vote hopefully comes up tomorrow. And finally,

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: John came out with a huge story earlier today, of course,

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: over at justinnews dot com, all about the Clinton corruption files.

73
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Attorney General Pambondi and FBI Director Cash Battel have now

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: shown Congress documents about former President Bill and First Lady

75
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's foundation and evidence that they collected donations from

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: foreign and domestic interest seeking influence. And the fact that

77
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: ag Bondi and Director Patel just found this new cache

78
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: of documents is raising concerns that this evidence was kept

79
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: from previous prosecutors investigation investigating the Clinton Foundation and depay

80
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: to play allegations against the Clinton family gosh a decade ago.

81
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: So Officials familiar with the matter have said that the

82
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: documents will make clear that there was some kind of

83
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: effort to obstruct legitimate inquiries into the foundation by blocking

84
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: real investigation by line level FBI agents and DOJ field

85
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: prosecutors and keeping them from following the money. So you

86
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: can read more about this bombshell story over at justthnews

87
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, everybody, we have a very special

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: first guest for you, on This Veteran's Day show. He

89
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: is a veteran himself, a former West Point graduate and

90
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Army ranger. He is also a Veteran's advocate who now

91
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: leads Restore the Military Doug Truax, Doug, thanks so much.

92
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: For being here.

93
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 8: Hey a man, thanks for having me on.

94
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm delighted to have you here and on a perfect day.

95
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: I know that you wrote this article especially for Veterans Day,

96
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: but honoring the sacrifice by restoring the military's warrior ethos,

97
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: that warrior ethos took what I think a lot of

98
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: people thought might have been fatal blows under the Biden administration.

99
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: But boy, oh boy, Secretary Hegseth and of course with

100
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: President Trump at the helmet, seems like it has returned

101
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: with vengeance.

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's been a breath of fresh air. And it

103
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 9: goes back a long, long way. I graduated from most

104
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 9: point in ninety two, so all the way back to Clinton,

105
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 9: Obama and then you know Trump in the first term,

106
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 9: he was under fire a lot, so he didn't have

107
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 9: a lot of opportunity to make changes. But then Biden

108
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 9: was just really over the top with this. It is

109
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 9: just a constant, steady slide within the military. You saw

110
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 9: this in recruiting numbers and just morale in general. You know,

111
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 9: why would you want to join a military. It's more

112
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 9: concerned about talking about transgender and DEI than it was

113
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 9: about lethality. It makes you nervous, you know, especially if

114
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 9: you're a parent your kids talking about enlisting. You're thinking yourself,

115
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 9: I don't know if these guys have their act together,

116
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 9: and so you know, that's a very you know, on

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 9: the ground way to look at it.

118
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 4: But then the larger.

119
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 9: Problem is, of course, the military gets weaker and weaker,

120
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 9: and the bottom line is, and you know, it's a

121
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 9: fallen world out there, and every nation has to fit

122
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 9: for themselves on some level. And if you don't have

123
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 9: a military, you're going to lose your country eventually. And

124
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 9: so this is huge implications going into the future. So

125
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 9: the place we're at today, you know, versus where we

126
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 9: were even a year ago. You know, it's just like

127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 9: I said, it's a breath of fresh air. It's definitely

128
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 9: a great directional change. There's a lot of work still

129
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 9: to be done as part of the work we're doing

130
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 9: to restore the military, to make sure we're getting back

131
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 9: on track Boogire definitely going the right direction thanks to

132
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 9: President Trump and War Secretary Hegseth. So grateful to see

133
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 9: that on this veteran's day, but still a lot of

134
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 9: work to be done.

135
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you mentioned kind of these mixed messages and

136
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the weakening of that ethos under Joe Biden. And the

137
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: sad reality is that because of Joe Biden's stance on

138
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: foreign policy, which was weakness through through confusion, I suppose

139
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: because now we have peace through strength, but weakness through

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: confusion that made our military and even more in more

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: peril when military readiness was not at the top of

142
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: its game.

143
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right, and when you don't have the general

144
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 9: class in particular, like you look at Millie and even

145
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 9: Lloyd Austin when he was Secretary of Defense back then,

146
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 9: just so focused on you know, white rage and all

147
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 9: these different things, when at the same time the world

148
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 9: is getting more and more dangerous. I remember watching the

149
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,239
Speaker 9: whole thing happen and like this is going no place

150
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 9: good quickly. And you think about even now with the Chinese,

151
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 9: they're trying to undermind us every day all day. And

152
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 9: if we act like everything fine, and you know, we

153
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 9: don't need the We don't need a strong military as

154
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 9: much as we used to. That's playing right into their hands.

155
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 9: And we have got to make sure as a country

156
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 9: that we are doing everything we can to make sure

157
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 9: that if we do have to go to war, we win.

158
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 4: It's not even close.

159
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 9: And I think that's the best service that we can

160
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 9: provide as patriots in this country to our veterans and

161
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 9: obviously to our active duty, is to arm them and

162
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 9: equip them with every possible thing. You know, we went

163
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 9: to a trillion dollar budget for the War Department, and

164
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 9: that's a huge number. But I can tell you too,

165
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 9: there's a lot of fraud, waste, and abuse in there.

166
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 9: If we continue to get that out and work on it,

167
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 9: and then reallocate that money to producing the right weapons

168
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 9: and training and everything else, we'll be back in the

169
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 9: place we want to be. And I would encourage everybody

170
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 9: that's just you know, in favor of our country to

171
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 9: be okay with saying, you know, hey, I don't think

172
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 9: this is a good idea that we do this with

173
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 9: the military. I think in our country, out of respect,

174
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 9: a lot of people, if they didn't serve, they don't

175
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 9: want to say anything that might be taken as untoward

176
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 9: towards the military, but I think we got to get

177
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 9: over that as a country and just say, look, this

178
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 9: is important to all of us. I support the military,

179
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 9: and especially the veterans that have served and now they're out.

180
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 9: You don't want them looking back at the military saying

181
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 9: what the heck is going on?

182
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 10: What happened here?

183
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 9: You want to make sure that it's, you know, it's

184
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 9: as strong as it can be for those folks that

185
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 9: served and did their time, and then obviously for the

186
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 9: people that are now that they might have to go

187
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 9: down range, and we want to make sure they're as

188
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 9: quipped as they possibly can be, as trained as they

189
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 9: possibly can be, and acting in our national interests. And

190
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 9: that's what we want in a military and for our

191
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 9: country going forward in general.

192
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

193
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

194
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: When President Trump announced that he was nominating Pete Hegseth

195
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: to be the Defense War Secretary, I remember seeing the

196
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: leftist the left side of the aisle of their reaction

197
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: to it, and of course, the first title that they mentioned,

198
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: the first credit they mentioned of his was that he

199
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: was a Fox News.

200
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: Weekend co host, and then they listed his.

201
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: Military credentials at the end, which I thought was pathetically

202
00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: insulting and deceptive. But what does it mean to the military,

203
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: to the men and women who are on the ground,

204
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: whether it's at a base here on us, on US soil,

205
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: or elsewhere, what does it mean to them to have

206
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: someone who is overseeing them, who actually has seen combat,

207
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: a combat veteran.

208
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 9: That's right, Yeah, it's huge because you want to make

209
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 9: sure that the person that's you know, leading you up

210
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 9: at the top understands what you would have to go

211
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 9: through and be willing to do it themselves. I mean,

212
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 9: the greatest leaders are always the ones that set the

213
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 9: example themselves by willing to do what they're asking their

214
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 9: subordinates to do. So having been in combat, Secretary of

215
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 9: hegsethis can quickly say, hey, guys, you know, I know

216
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 9: nobody wants to do this, but we're gonna have to

217
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 9: go do it because it's in the nation's interest and

218
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 9: this is what you signed up for. And i'd say

219
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 9: in particular too, when you got all the generals together,

220
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 9: I know it wasn't like, you know, standard practice, but

221
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 9: I can tell you this. Anybody that's been in the military,

222
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 9: especially being in the army, whatever level you're at, platoon, company, battalion, brigade, division.

223
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 9: It's quite all right to get all your senior leaders

224
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 9: together and just say, hey, everybody, this is where I'm

225
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 9: at with things.

226
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: This is the direction we're going.

227
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 9: Because once they hear it from you, and they all

228
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 9: hear it together, they can go out there and say, look,

229
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 9: this is the new direction we're going. And the culture

230
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 9: has changed. Yeah we were doing that before, we're not

231
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 9: doing that anymore. This is the path we're on now.

232
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 9: And I think that that's helpful for all those leaders

233
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 9: to have heard that all in one place and then

234
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 9: they go forward and they talk to their division commanders

235
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 9: and brigade commanders and down it goes and they kind

236
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 9: of shared that back to them. So I think that

237
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 9: that's you know, super important that he did that.

238
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: I know, people like.

239
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 9: You said in the press, are like, oh, why would

240
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 9: he take all these people are so important. Yeah, they're important,

241
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 9: but they're still in the military and they still got

242
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 9: to follow orders. And I don't care who you are,

243
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 9: you know, and so and even above that, you know,

244
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 9: the commander in chief per the constitution as the president

245
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 9: who tells Heck Seth what to do too, So there's

246
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 9: you know, there's a distinct chain of command here, we

247
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 9: got to follow it. I think back when Millie was

248
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 9: talking to the Chinese and all that. You know, we

249
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 9: just got way sideways with some of these some of

250
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 9: these generals thinking I'm just gonna do what I got

251
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 9: to do this because I want to go get on

252
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 9: the border, raytheon or general dynamics or whatever else. You know,

253
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 9: enough of that, do your job, get ready, you know,

254
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 9: get your soldiers and your troops ready to go.

255
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 4: Down range if they have to.

256
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 9: Because then, to the point the Secretary of Hexseth was making,

257
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 9: if we're prepared for war, chances are will not have

258
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 9: to fight it. If we're not prepared, to the point

259
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 9: you were making a minute ago, the world was going crazy.

260
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 9: The higher the probability is we're gonna have to go

261
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 9: fight one. So it's just it's a smart thing to

262
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 9: do to get everybody on the same page and get straight.

263
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 9: And you know, it makes our country stronger, makes the

264
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 9: military strong, and that's what we all want.

265
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Doug, I saw a heartbreaking video of a one hundred

266
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: year old World War Two veteran from the UK and

267
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: he was practically in tears in this video and he said,

268
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: you know why, Why did my friends die at Normandy?

269
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: Why did my friends die fighting in the Pacific Theater?

270
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: And it was heartbreaking because you look at what's happening

271
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: in the UK as far as freedom of speech and

272
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the influx of immigrants into their country, and it is

273
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: practically unrecognizable from what it was even ten years go.

274
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: Are do you share those concerns?

275
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we obviously here in the United States,

276
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: thank goodness, we still care about.

277
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: Our and value and protect our First Amendment.

278
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: But things could go sideways with just one administration.

279
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: That's right. That's right.

280
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 9: Every day I wake up and I thank god I'm

281
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 9: in this country, and I feel bad for him.

282
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 4: You know, it's terrible what's happened in the UK.

283
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 9: You know, I don't want to be a downer here

284
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 9: on Veterans Date, but there is one thing that we

285
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 9: need to have a reckoning for, and that's Afghanistan. You know,

286
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 9: we had decades and decades of people just pouring money,

287
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 9: people losing their lives and their limbs. We had a

288
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 9: lot of generals and a lot of politicians telling us, oh,

289
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 9: you know, it's gonna just everything's going to be fine.

290
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 9: We got to hang in there. The Afghans, they're going

291
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 9: to take over. It's going to be great. You know,

292
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 9: it all in and in a weekend, and you know,

293
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 9: I'm fifty five and that was like the lowest point

294
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 9: in my life from just being you know, what has

295
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 9: happened to our country here and there needs to be

296
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 9: a serious reckoning about that whole experience that led up

297
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 9: to that weekend where it all went south, and those

298
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 9: guys have got to answer questions and we still haven't

299
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 9: done that. I hope that we certainly will, but that

300
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 9: act alone will make sure that going forward we get

301
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 9: much more precise about this is our national interest, this

302
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 9: is why we need to go to combat about it,

303
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 9: and people will know that if from the military or

304
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 9: even politicians that if they're making stuff up, if they're

305
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 9: fudging numbers to make it look better than it is,

306
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 9: and people are losing their lives and they're doing terrible

307
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 9: things because they're out in the middle of nowhere with

308
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 9: no mission, you know, there will come a day of reckoning,

309
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 9: and we still have to have that for Afghanistan. But

310
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 9: outside of that, you know, we're doing all the right

311
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 9: things we can from the military right now, and Lord willing,

312
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 9: it'll keep getting stronger, the country will stay on track

313
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 9: and we won't end up like England. It's a terrible

314
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 9: thing to watch, you know. We've got to stay on

315
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 9: the right path here, Doug.

316
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to cut you off, but I want

317
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: to ask you about this because I know your organization,

318
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: Restore the Military, has identified about one hundred and ten

319
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: employees at the Department War who have contributed to this

320
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: degradation of the military. And you guys want to see

321
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: some accountability. Who would you get that accountability from. What

322
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: do you want to see happen?

323
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 9: Well, what's already happened. So we've had them up there

324
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 9: for a little bit. We have the posted date on there.

325
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 9: So it's one hundred and ten maybe more now, mostly

326
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 9: generals and admirals. And these are people that have that

327
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 9: embrace the DEI concept. Because when you're in the military,

328
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 9: if you get a memorandum, say you're a tenant colonel,

329
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 9: battalion commander, you get a memorandum and you have to

330
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 9: follow the law and do the thing and do the

331
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 9: class and you don't you know, you know it's stupid, right,

332
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 9: but you're going to do it and move on.

333
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 4: That happens.

334
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 9: But these are all people that embrace the concept, which

335
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 9: then they are demonstrating terrible judgment because when you embrace

336
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 9: that concept, you're embracing lack of unity, which is the

337
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 9: one thing you need if you're going to go to

338
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 9: war amongst the troops. And so what we've done on

339
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 9: our website restore the military dot Com. As you can

340
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 9: see on there, we've taken their own work, their own videos,

341
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 9: whatever they've said, their own speeches, and we put it

342
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 9: right up there and we demonstrate that they were the

343
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 9: embracers of the concept. And so far about a third

344
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 9: of them have already been fired, forced out, whatever you know,

345
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 9: out you go, it doesn't matter they got. We have

346
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 9: to set an example here and thankfully Secretary of Hegseth

347
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 9: and those guys I think they're they're they're looking and

348
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 9: paying attention, and we're letting the entire military know that

349
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 9: we're watching. And that's an important piece too.

350
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Excellent. I absolutely love that immediate accountability. Doug Truex, thank

351
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: you so much.

352
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: You said it's for restoring the military dot com.

353
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: That's right, perfect, Everybody go there, support them. Doug.

354
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: It's a pleasure to have you here tonight, and happy veterans,

355
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: stay to you.

356
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: All right, everybody coming up. John is going to be

357
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: back for another interview.

358
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: With a veteran that we taped a little before the

359
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: show this evening about the Veterans Bill of Rights aspect.

360
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: Hey, America. As an investigative journalist, I've built my career

361
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 4: in facts, and I always do with my homework for

362
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: recommending anything my audience. That's why I can confidently say AMAC,

363
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 4: the Association of Mature American Citizens, is the real deal.

364
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 4: AMAC is a conservative alternative to AARP. They're fighting for faith, family,

365
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 4: and freedom and bringing their members real value discounts on travel, insurance,

366
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: and retail, helpful resources that help you thrive in the

Speaker 4: policies that protect veterans' rights, expanding their healthcare access, and

381
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 4: strengthening accountability within the vehicle, three ideas I think we

382
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 4: can all agree on. Darren. Great to have you on

383
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: the show today. Happy Veterans Day, Well.

384
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 11: Thank you.

385
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 12: As veteran myself, I appreciate this day, especially the free meals, but.

386
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 11: Thanks for that important stuff to talk about.

387
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 12: And veterer is much more than just free meals, as

388
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 12: we all know, it's the once you are honoring the

389
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 12: service of all the men and women who fight for

390
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 12: this country and die for this country every year.

391
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 11: So thanks for having me on talk about support and subject.

392
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 4: It's an honor to have you on. We honor your service.

393
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 4: You've got a big idea, a Veteran Bill of Rights.

394
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: It's kind of hard to imagine that it hasn't been

395
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 4: done before, but it codifying what our veterans are entitled

396
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 4: to have for their great service our country, tell us

397
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 4: a little bit about it and where it's going. Right.

398
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 12: So one of the reasons we created the Veterans Bill

399
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 12: Rights was because during the Biden administration, we just saw

400
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 12: veterans rights being taken away from them. I mean, for example,

401
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 12: gun rights taken away from veterans who need help managing

402
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 12: their benefits, red flagging veterans, restricting their care based on

403
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 12: what they considered inappropriate comment through a disruptive behavior committee,

404
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 12: so taking away their right to healthcare, taking away their guns.

405
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 12: And we've seen story after a story of where veterans

406
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 12: are not able to appeal, not able to get service

407
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 12: in a time, and really not following a couple key

408
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 12: tenets from veterans that you may have heard of, Teddy

409
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 12: Roosevelt and Omar Bradley, a man who is good enough.

410
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 12: From Teddy Roosevelt, she shed his blood for his country,

411
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 12: is good enough to give him a square deal afterwards.

412
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 12: And from General Omar Bradley, we're dealing with veterans, not procedures,

413
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 12: with their problems ours. So veterans have been struggling and

414
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 12: not getting their benefits or not getting them timely. And

415
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 12: VA is supposed to be four veterans, and that's supposed

416
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 12: to be your only job, and so we needed something

417
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 12: to codify to really spell out how you're going to

418
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 12: treat the veteran well, how the veterans are going to

419
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 12: be able to get what they want without a hassle

420
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 12: and get that.

421
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 11: Benefit they so deserved. And so we also wanted to know.

422
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 12: And you know, Trump administration is fixing the excesses and

423
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 12: the problems with the Biden, but we wanted to make

424
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 12: sure post Trump that we always had, no matter who

425
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 12: was in power, the ability of veterans to get their care,

426
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 12: to get their service, to get their benefits and be

427
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 12: treated with respect and have their rights upheld and not

428
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 12: be treated a second citizens in an organization that's supposed

429
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 12: to be meant for them.

430
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it shouldn't have to be codified. It should be

431
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 4: natural to all of us, but the Biden ear shows

432
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 4: it does need to be grat codified. So tell us

433
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: a little bit about where this Bill of Rights ultimately

434
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 4: could be codified. I suppose Congress could take care of it,

435
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: the executive order of a president could take care of it,

436
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 4: the VA could implement it within their own How far

437
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 4: do you want to see this bill of rights go I'd.

438
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 11: Love to see all three.

439
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 12: To tell you the truth, there's nothing better than Congress

440
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 12: codifying it. I mean even the IRS has a Bill

441
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 12: of rights right for taxpayers. But ultimately doing a resolution

442
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 12: codifying these bill of rights makes them absolute, permanent. In

443
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 12: the meantime, going from bottom line up, a Secretary Collins

444
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 12: could go ahead and do a Secretary of directive. We'd

445
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 12: love to see that, to go ahead and start putting

446
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 12: this into policy and start changing policies and bad procedures.

447
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 12: And we love the President Trump once he's familiar and

448
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 12: hears about this, to do an executive order, and we

449
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 12: have sent this over to the White House. Certainly an

450
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 12: executive order would send the message immutely and help passage

451
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 12: of the codification. But we believe in all three to

452
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 12: send the message and to get things rolling. But ultimately

453
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 12: codification with Congress would be the ultimate step to make

454
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 12: sure that veterans new that not only did the President

455
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 12: and the Secretary have their back, but the entire Congress

456
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 12: had their back. And is needed, it is needed in

457
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,719
Speaker 12: a veterans daya glober launching inveterance date.

458
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 11: This has to happen.

459
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's such a great idea and long overdue, quite frankly.

460
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 4: So there's a lot of things in here that are

461
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 4: pretty obvious. Freedom of choice, respect and dignity, dignity, awareness

462
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: of benefits. One that's important to me because of my

463
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: own personal reporting informed consent. We have obviously the most

464
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 4: famous or infamous example of the Tuskegee experiment, but more recently,

465
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 4: even just about a decade ago, I did some reporting

466
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 4: on a project that gave veterans an anti smoking cessation

467
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 4: product that had side effects that they didn't tell them about.

468
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: Informed consent is a really important part of this, and

469
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 4: there's been a history of it not always being perfect

470
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 4: at the VA, right.

471
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, I have this right until they discover what they're not. Yeah,

472
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 12: they do a lot of things that are not been

473
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 12: informed consent till they get discovered, leasing of privacy and

474
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 12: information telling you that you have to opt out otherwise

475
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 12: they consider it informed consent with your things, with your

476
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 12: health care, you know, driving, driving on your benefits. So

477
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 12: there's a lot of shenanigans that that go on, and

478
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 12: we want to make sure that before veterans, whether it's

479
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 12: having choice for community care, which veterans access, sect will

480
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 12: take care of whether it's in participating in research, whether

481
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 12: it's getting medications, whether it's your your claims or other benefits.

482
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 12: On the benefit side, we want to make sure the

483
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 12: veterans have informed consent, that they know what they're signing

484
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 12: away or they know what they're participating in, and that

485
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 12: they have to opt in rather than opt out. So

486
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 12: informed consent is very important. American principle and the principle

487
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 12: for veterans who access their VA.

488
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 4: All very common sense, really important stuff. All right, I

489
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: want to turn to some of the America First policies

490
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 4: that Doug Collins and President Trump of implement. That the

491
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: VA still has a long way to go. Everyone will

492
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 4: agree with that, but there's been some good progress made

493
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 4: in the first eight nine months of this administration. Tell

494
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 4: us about it.

495
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 12: Well, I mean, one of the key things was implementation

496
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 12: of the dole out and that was best medical interest.

497
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 12: So you had a veteran and a doctor saying for

498
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 12: the best medical interest, need to use community care, and

499
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 12: some chief of staff, some secret administrative panel was overwriting that.

500
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 11: And so now it really is is your best medical

501
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 11: interest you can actually.

502
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 12: Get the care in the community and you can't have

503
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 12: some bureaucrat overwriting it. Satatay College has also made it

504
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 12: very clear policy wise and to all the other staff

505
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 12: that you're going to treat veterans well, you're going to

506
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 12: uphold the Mission Act, You're going to approve the community care.

507
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 12: Now he's got a big job because there's not any

508
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 12: political pointings right now. John Bartram nominee hopefully will be

509
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 12: confirmed next month, but he's in the process of getting

510
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 12: a bunch of political points over there to make sure

511
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 12: that four hundred thousand careers actually follow the Mission Act

512
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 12: and actually followed to do it. So that's a big step.

513
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 12: Another big important thing was rather than VA, you know,

514
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 12: just giving you a few community care appointments and taking

515
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 12: you back, he said, no, we're going to make sure,

516
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 12: like everyone else in industry and across the country, your.

517
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 11: Appointments are good for a year.

518
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 12: So that was important that continuity of care ability, to

519
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 12: get communitic care ability to not.

520
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 11: Be forced back into the system.

521
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 12: These are just two of the improvements that he's doing,

522
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 12: and I know he's got a lot of other improvements

523
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 12: in the works. And of course he is a big

524
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 12: champion of the Veterans' Access Acts, which will give him

525
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 12: additional power and authority permanently to go ahead and make

526
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 12: these changes, codification of access standards, making sure the careers

527
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 12: actually tell veterans that they're eligibeth community care doing the appeals.

528
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 12: So we see the first big operational of our Veterans

529
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 12: Bill Rights is the Veterans Access Sacks, which takes care

530
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 12: of a lot of the principles that are in our

531
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 12: Bill rights.

532
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: So very important and it's funny a lot of times.

533
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 4: You know another thing veterans tell me the last few months,

534
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: they're just proud to see America star standing strong. They

535
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 4: know how much they gave of their own effort to

536
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 4: make a strong America. I think they appreciate the fact

537
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 4: that the president is standing strong on the world stage,

538
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 4: something that didn't happen in the last four years. There

539
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 4: it sounds like you've always been standing strong. You're always

540
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 4: working hard for the veterans. Great to have you to

541
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 4: show tape for people who are listening. What's the best

542
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,840

559
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 4: break more with a Manda let me come back. Hey America.

560
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 4: The FBI has been warning about a type of real

561
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: estate fraud on the rise called home title theft, and

562
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 4: your equity is the target. Here's how it works. Criminals

563
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: forge your signature on a single document, use a fake

564
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 4: notary stamp, then fill it with the county, and just

565
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 4: like that, boom, they're on record as owning your home

566
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 4: using your ownership. They then take out loans against your equitor,

567
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 4: even sell your property, and you're not going to know

568
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 4: about it until get a foreclosure or collection notice in

569
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 4: the mail, and that's not going to be a good moment.

Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody.

585
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: The elections last Tuesday were well, not great for Republicans

586
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: and actually quite bad news for New York where an

587
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: open socialist so Ron Mom Donnie has now become mayor

588
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: elect of that city. So should Republicans consider last week

589
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: a wake up call for the midterms, joining us now

590
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: to discuss that and more like his own congressional midterm race.

591
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: He's the former governor of Maine who is now running

592
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: for Congress in that state.

593
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: Paula Page, Sarah, thank you so much for being here.

594
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 13: Glead sure to be here.

595
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: Okay, let's start with New York. Let's start with the

596
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: bad news and then move towards the good news. The

597
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: good news being you running for Maine two. Does this

598
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: seem like a flash in the pan? I mean, you

599
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: look at the demographics of folks who voted for his

600
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: oron Mom Donnie, and it's pretty clear that you got

601
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: a lot of young New Yorkers and also non native

602
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: New Yorkers who voted for him.

603
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: Is this is this.

604
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: Maybe flirting with the devil for one mayoral term and

605
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: then New York will wake up and go back to

606
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: the way things should be.

607
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 13: Well. I hope so. But I'm not sure that's going

608
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 13: to be the case, because in Maine, we have a

609
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 13: Mondanie candidate for the US Senate who's going to primary. Uh,

610
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 13: He's going to be involved in a primary against the

611
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 13: current governor. He's leading in the polls right now, so

612
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 13: I'm I'm a little bit worried about what's happened to

613
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 13: the youth of our nation.

614
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

615
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: And if that spreads across the country and we have

616
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: more of these candidates emerging, because Paul, what's my what

617
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: concerning to me?

618
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: I don't think the worst case.

619
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: Scenario is that Zoorun Mom Donnie is able to do

620
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 1: what he said he wants to do in New York.

621
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: To me, the worst case scenario is that he's not

622
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: able to or that it's a slow burn, and then

623
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: all of the people who supported him for mayor for

624
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: a seat that, let's face it, the mayor of a

625
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: city doesn't have autonomous control of that city. They got

626
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: to play nice with the governor of that state as well.

627
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: So my biggest fear is that he won't be able

628
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: to do all of the things he wanted to do,

629
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: and then you've got all of his little supporters out

630
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: there who will say, see, you said things would get

631
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: terrible and they didn't, and people won't attribute what could

632
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: happen down the road that he said in motion, they

633
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: won't attribute it to him, and then we'll get people

634
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: like Zoorun Mom Donnie running for positions across this country

635
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: like governor that do have a ton of power over

636
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: an entire state.

637
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 13: Well, that's true, and I will tell you this. I

638
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 13: have been to Rush on a couple of occasions, and

639
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 13: it was back when it was real, real bad, and

640
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 13: then when it got a little bit better. I was

641
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 13: in Russia when it was under Communist control. It was horrible,

642
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 13: and then I went to Russia later on in the

643
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 13: mid two thousand and eight, I believe, and Communism had

644
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 13: been broken and destroyed and the country was on the

645
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 13: move again. Unfortunately, we don't learn from history and we should.

646
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 13: Schools don't often teach history the way it was intended,

647
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 13: and we pay the price. I'm I'm running for Congress

648
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 13: because I see the future of our country in terrible

649
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 13: and terribly straight. I think the elections of the Gang

650
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 13: like the aocs are really changing the dynamics of where

651
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 13: we're heading as a nation. I think the election last Tuesday,

652
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 13: while it wasn't good for Republicans, and I'd never expected

653
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 13: it to be good for Republicans. You know, when you're

654
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 13: talking about New York City, you're talking about New Jersey,

655
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 13: you're talking about Virginia. Virginia a purple state. I had

656
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 13: some hopes that maybe the strength of youngkin might help

657
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 13: the candidate running for governor, but it didn't. But it

658
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 13: was they're really blue leaning or purple states, So I

659
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 13: really wasn't that concern. What concerns me is the midterms,

660
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 13: and usually the incumbent president or the party in power

661
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 13: get hit pretty hard during the the midterms. And so

662
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 13: I'm running for Congress because City two and Maine it's

663
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 13: a plus Republican seat being held by a Democrat, and

664
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 13: he's a flip flopper, and so I decided i'd run

665
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 13: against him. Fortunately, he's now decided he's not going to

666
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 13: run for a re election, So I don't know who

667
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 13: the candidate is going to be at this point.

668
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, whoever it is, does it help Republicans across the board.

669
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: But you to make Zorn Mam Dannie the poster boy

670
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: for the Democrat Party.

671
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 13: Well yes, I think so, President Trump one CD two

672
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 13: three times. I ran in CD two three times, and

673
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 13: I've won it three times. I beat the incumbent governor

674
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 13: when I ran against her in twenty two. I won

675
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 13: CD two but lost in CD one. I believe it's

676
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 13: a very strong In fact, it's probably the strongest MAGA

677
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 13: district eastern Mississippi. And so I believe we're going to

678
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 13: do very well. The polls have me way up. We're

679
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 13: doing very very well. I believe that we're going to

680
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 13: take this and we're going to help the slim majority

681
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 13: get a little bit bigger.

682
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: I think that's great.

683
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: So when it comes to CD two in Maine, you

684
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: are obviously beloved as a former governor of that state.

685
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: But what are the issues that you are hearing about

686
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: the most, which, by the way, I'm pretty sure is

687
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 1: going to be the case with Republicans.

688
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: Across the country.

689
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 13: Whatever those issues are the two table issues the economics, jobs, housing.

690
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 13: In Maine, we have the cost of living, food, the

691
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 13: cost of food, energy, and housing. It's what's happening around

692
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 13: the nation as a result of having Biden in the

693
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 13: White House for four years.

694
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: How did Maners react to the government shutdown? I mean,

695
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: we hope that it's going to end with this next vote,

696
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: but did you.

697
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: Find that a long party lines.

698
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,399
Speaker 1: That's how people felt about it, that if they were

699
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: if they were typically a Republican in Maine, that they

700
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: supported Republicans throughout this and same thing for the Democrats, right.

701
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 13: I believe the the liberal Democrats, the Progressives favor the

702
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 13: shutdown and we'd like to see it continue to shut down.

703
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 13: Says stay shutdown. There's a few I would call blue

704
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 13: dog Democrats still left in CD two and they are

705
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 13: death against the shutdown. The shutdown is really hurting the

706
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 13: state of main in particular. CD two is a very

707
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 13: poor rural district and it's hurting everybody. It's hurting our schools,

708
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 13: it's hurting our grocery stores, it's hurting the shutdown. Being

709
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 13: so rural, transportation is a big issue and we're having

710
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 13: problems getting the necessary goods and services to the second district.

711
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: Well, Paul, you are a familiar face in that state,

712
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: a familiar name in that state, and we wish you

Speaker 2: Joining us now the co founder and chief.

735
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: Culture officer at Native Path, doctor Chad Walding. Doctor Walding,

736
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being here.

737
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 8: Hello, Hi Amanda, Hi John, Thank you so much for

738
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 8: having me.

739
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love having you.

740
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: And you know, when you think about what's happening politically

741
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: culturally in our country, there are a lot of crises

742
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: boiling up to the surface. And I don't want to

743
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: make light of mental health and putting a band aid

744
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: on it with sleep. But sleep is so foundational to

745
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: so much of our health, but particularly mental.

746
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 14: Isn't it extremely And it's one of the least talked

747
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 14: about things going on right now When someone has depression

748
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 14: or they're dealing with anything, you know, when they go

749
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 14: to the doctor and said, can you help me? I

750
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 14: feel like as medical professionals, as the medical industry, I

751
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 14: feel like we've done a poor job in encouraging and

752
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 14: really educating on people on sleep and understanding really what

753
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 14: they can do to in order to feel better.

754
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 13: Right.

755
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 14: So, a native path, we are always focusing on the foundations.

756
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 14: We're all about wax on, wax off. Take care of

757
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 14: the foundational things, because if you don't take care of them,

758
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 14: you can supplement all you want, you can take all

759
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 14: the medications you want, but nothing will really change.

760
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 13: Right.

761
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 14: So when it comes to sleep, just like when it

762
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 14: comes to nutrition, it's important for us to realize these

763
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 14: changes that have been happening slowly over.

764
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 8: Time, especially during the past one hundred years.

765
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: Right.

766
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 14: So, for instance, one hundred years ago, two hundred years ago,

767
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 14: thousand years ago, humans on average were sleeping eight to

768
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 14: ten hours a night, and they were sleeping.

769
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 8: Throughout the night. They were getting really good RESTful sleep.

770
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 14: Something changed about one hundred years ago, and a little

771
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 14: bit over one hundred years ago was a man named

772
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 14: Thomas Edison.

773
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 8: He admitted this thing.

774
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 14: Called the light bulb, right, and all of a sudden,

775
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 14: the day turned into night. Because we stay inside and

776
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 14: the night turn into day. We stay inside, we turn

777
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 14: on these bright screens. We have these bright lights that

778
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 14: keep us up, and our eyes and our skin get

779
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 14: really confused, and it throws off our natural circadian rhythm.

780
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 4: Right.

781
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 14: So the impact of that is we get less sleep.

782
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 14: You know, the average person now is getting less than

783
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 14: six hours a night, and the sleep they do get

784
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 14: is not even good restorative sleep. They're not hitting that

785
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 14: deep you know, phase three sleep where things are repaired

786
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 14: and ram happens. It's a very superficial sleep. So because

787
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,240
Speaker 14: we're tired the next day, we end up taking energy

788
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 14: drinks and sugar in order to give us energy. And

789
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 14: it's this ongoing cycle that after a while has downstream effects.

790
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 14: It has downstream effects to our mental health, our mood.

791
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 14: You know, you mentioned things like depression, but even our

792
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 14: cardiovascuar system, our risk for cancer, obesity. There's a huge

793
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 14: link between how well we sleep and the way our

794
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 14: metabolism is working. And even things like Alzheimer's dementia. Studies

795
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 14: are now showing there's an incredible correlation between the quality

796
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 14: of our sleep and those long term mental disorders. Right,

797
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 14: So it is the foundation and in terms of recognizing

798
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 14: this as an issue and then correcting it.

799
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 8: Is one of the best things we can do.

800
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: Right.

801
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 14: So, I'm always big on the principles can sleep, you know,

802
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 14: So what are the principles of good sleep?

803
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 8: Some easy things you can do.

804
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 14: First thing is when you wake up in the morning,

805
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 14: as quickly as you can, go outside or at least

806
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 14: look out the window and get natural sun exposure to

807
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 14: your eyes, to your skin.

808
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 8: And what that does. It sends a signal to your

809
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 8: body the sun is up. It starts producing cortisol, your

810
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 8: daytime hormones.

811
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 13: Right.

812
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 14: It regulates things, and it allows you to have good

813
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 14: energy throughout the day in order to handle stress and

814
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 14: do all the things you want to do. And as

815
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 14: night comes in, you go outside again as the sun

816
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 14: goes down, you know, and be careful about the light

817
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 14: inside your house, right, not too much light, not too

818
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 14: much of a too big of a bright screen. Were

819
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 14: some glasses if you have to to block out the

820
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 14: blue light. But making sure your relationship with light is

821
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 14: the way it should be. Right, our ancestors we're spending

822
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 14: most of their time outside during the day, and in

823
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 14: the modern world, we're spending about ten percent of our

824
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 14: time as opposed to what our ancestors are doing with

825
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 14: ninety percent. So our relationship with the light, our relationship

826
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 14: with sleep is absolutely foundational to our health.

827
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 4: Amazing. Over time you're in this cycle, your brain begins

828
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 4: to deplete the things, it starts to be maladjusted because

829
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 4: of the cycle of vous reporting it through talk us

830
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 4: a little bit. I mean, people take meloantonin and now

831
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 4: to sleep and other things. But what are some options

832
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 4: dietary and otherwise that we can do to kind of

833
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 4: get that not only restorative sleep, but also the restoration

834
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 4: of our brain to normal function.

835
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 14: Yeah, you mentioned the melotone and thing. And melotone we

836
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 14: have to be really careful about the dose. You know,

837
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 14: too much of it can really throw off our natural

838
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 14: rhythm for a lot of people. We want to produce

839
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 14: melotonin as naturally as we can, right, and that comes

840
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 14: with our relationship with light.

841
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 8: You know, outside of that, the good practices of blacking

842
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 8: out your room.

843
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 14: You know, even if you have an alarm clock, put

844
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,959
Speaker 14: a put a piece of tape on there, or cover

845
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 14: up your fire alarm system, you know, block out the windows.

846
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 14: Giving yourself about three hours of eating before you before

847
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 14: you go to bed, three hours before you go to bed,

848
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 14: eat and then wait three hours.

849
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 8: That helps you.

850
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 14: Your body doesn't like to be hot when it goes

851
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 14: to bed. And when it comes to supplements, that's another

852
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 14: area where we've really missed the mark. These over the

853
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 14: counter sleep a's that so many people are taking. They

854
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 14: don't give you good restorative sleep. Drinking alcohol it doesn't

855
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 14: give you good restorative sleep. You might fall asleep quick,

856
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 14: but you're again you're not getting that deep level sleep.

857
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 8: So something I recommend for this is collagen.

858
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 14: Collagen is something I talk a lot about about what

859
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 14: it can do for the structure of your body, your skin,

860
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 14: your hair, your nails. But it also has an amino

861
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 14: acid in it called glycine, and that's a unique amino

862
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 14: acid that is really helpful to getting your body to

863
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 14: relax as much as you possibly can so you're calm.

864
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 14: Your body wants to be in a nice, calm, relax state,

865
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 14: and the glycine in collagen is incredibly helpful for that.

866
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 8: And an easy thing to do.

867
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 14: Is about an hour before you go to bed, have

868
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 14: a non caffeinated drink like a tea, a little warm tea,

869
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 14: sip on it, and then just start blacking out the lights,

870
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 14: read a book as opposed to watching TV. You know,

871
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 14: I mentioned watch the sun first thing in the morning.

872
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 14: These basic practices help you regulate your system in order

873
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 14: to feel better. They've done incredible studies where they've taken

874
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 14: people who are sleep deprived and can't sleep at all

875
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 14: and just have them go camping and just wake up

876
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 14: and fall asleep according to the sun, and within two

877
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 14: to three days their sleep issues are fixed right and

878
00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 14: they feel better. That has a profound impact on the

879
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 14: rest of your health. So having these basic sleep practices,

880
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 14: having good supplements to support you like collagen, and an

881
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 14: easy routine can be game changing for our health.

882
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, amazing.

883
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: One of my favorite morning rituals, and I'll just give

884
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: this advice to everybody. Within thirty minutes of waking up,

885
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: when I'm starting to have my coffee, I let natural

886
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 1: sunlight come into my eyeballs, even if it's cloudy outside,

887
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,160

903
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: up after this break. Welcome back, everybody to our final

904
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: segment of the night. Communists love to spread their propaganda

905
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: to everyone within earshot, but when they are actually confronted

906
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: and asked about the reality of Marxism, to detail what

907
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,479
Speaker 1: it means, what it looks like, they completely shut down

908
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: and they start throwing a tantrum in the form of

909
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: insults usually. So we have another example of this to

910
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: show you.

911
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 15: Take look the Bolshevik Revolution something thousands of people killed, right,

912
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 15: millions really, right, got more than the Nazis killed, Right,

913
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:00,720
Speaker 15: a great.

914
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 4: Accomplishment for Marxinist the Nazis. That's great that they did.

915
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: And then what happened.

916
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 15: Next, and then they killed more people than the Nazis did.

917
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 13: Nazis killing Nazis, right.

918
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 4: No, and then they killed their own people. Mao, Stalin Lenin, These.

919
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 7: Are not good guys.

920
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 4: These are bad people. Guys, guys. This is what everyone says.

921
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 4: They say, we're gonna build the utopia. It's gonna be

922
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 4: different this time.

923
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 15: What they're saying is they says, no, no, you cannot

924
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,760
Speaker 15: put your finger in my hand. This is the benevolent

925
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 15: tic Tator looking.

926
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 2: Oh boy, oh boy.

927
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: These people are anti America, plain and simple. They don't

928
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: know history, and they ramble on with the same old

929
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: communist talking points, building the utopia, rainbows and butterflies, all

930
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 1: that nonsense, kind of like what zeron mom. Donnie's whole

931
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 1: campaign was built on the New Yorker spell for it. Unfortunately,

932
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: joining us now to talk about all of that and more,

933
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: the host of the Pursuit of Happiness radio show and

934
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: the man you just saw in that video, Kenny Webster. Kenny,

935
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:57,839
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being here.

936
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 10: Hey, thanks for having me on amandagree to be with you.

937
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: You know, you weren't even really asking hard questions, but

938
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: they still didn't have answers.

939
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 2: This is how surface level.

940
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: You know, we talk in the media industry, you know

941
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 1: about interviews, and they say, you know, top line questions,

942
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: only these are top line questions.

943
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, this was a weird experience for me.

944
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 15: I jog in this park all the time in Houston,

945
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 15: almost every day, and I never seen these people out

946
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 15: there before.

947
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 10: It was right after mom Donnie got elected. The other day.

948
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 15: They're people handing out communist newspapers and they're heckling people.

949
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 15: Nobody wanted to talk to them. I'm a morning radio

950
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 15: show host. I'm on a bunch of rock and roll

951
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 15: radio stations around the South. My listeners are mostly men.

952
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,879
Speaker 15: Not surprisingly, they lean to the right. And so when

953
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 15: they stopped me, I thought, Okay, let's see how much

954
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 15: they know.

955
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 10: And guess what, Amanda.

956
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 15: They did not know very much about the ideology they

957
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 15: were advocating for.

958
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 2: Oh, of course not of course, not.

959
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: Are you concerned that this ideology is taking over the

960
00:46:59,160 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: youngest generation.

961
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 10: You know what's interesting about that. For as long as

962
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,760
Speaker 10: we've been recording.

963
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 15: This data to figure out how conservative or liberal this

964
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 15: young generation is, right now, these people coming of age

965
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 15: are more conservative than ever, not surprisingly thanks to people

966
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 15: like Charlie Kirk. Back in the sixties and the seventies,

967
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 15: our government sent young people overseas to fight in the

968
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 15: Vietnam War, and weirdly, that seemed to push them far

969
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 15: to the left. And now there's this opposite thing taking

970
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 15: place where young men and even women are graduating from

971
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 15: high school or college and they're being told you're the problem,

972
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 15: You're toxic, You've poisoned the earth.

973
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 10: And this is very confusing to.

974
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 15: Young people who just came of age, you know, five

975
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 15: minutes ago. So weirdly this has pushed them farther to

976
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 15: the right. They love God, they love patriotism. I don't

977
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,479
Speaker 15: buy this narrative that this new generation is more woke

978
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,480
Speaker 15: or liberal or communists. Maybe in little enclaves like New

979
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 15: York City, but not in most of the country.

980
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So Gavin Newsom, the Eternal leg that

981
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: guy crosses his legs like a woman.

982
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,240
Speaker 2: I don't know what that means.

983
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 1: As far as the room for things that supposedly make

984
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: him a male, quite interesting to me and.

985
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: It defies logic.

986
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: But he claims that he is looking to recruit more

987
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: men to the Democrat Party. Look, I lived in California

988
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: for a long time. I just don't see Gavin Newsom

989
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: having that alpha male bringing men to the party type mentality.

990
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:23,760
Speaker 2: He's straight up beta.

991
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

992
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 10: I don't buy it either.

993
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 15: He was here in Houston last weekend, and Gavin has

994
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 15: been tasked with going out and trying to bring men

995
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 15: back to the Democrat Party.

996
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 10: Let's be real for a minute.

997
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 15: Have you ever seen the movie American Psycho. That's Gavin Newsom.

998
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 15: Kevin Newsom has weird serial killer energy. He's Patrick Bateman.

999
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 15: He's a narcissist. I don't believe that Gavin Newsom cares

1000
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 15: about recruiting young men. He's thirsty for power, and like

1001
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 15: you said, you know, he's part of a political movement

1002
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 15: that tells men exercising is toxic.

1003
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 10: You're eating too much meat.

1004
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 15: Liberals want to go out and recruit young men to

1005
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 15: their They want to bring them over, so they've decided

1006
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,479
Speaker 15: to do things like, you know, go out and chop

1007
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 15: wood for example. I think they ended up calling it

1008
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 15: sustainable forestry and then afterwards they apologized to the tree.

1009
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1010
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: Well, as we talked about on this show yesterday, there

1011
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: was a climate summit and they actually had to chop

1012
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: down trees in the Amazon's a clear roadway for these

1013
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: climate activists to actually get to it. It never, you know,

1014
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 1: it never surprises me the links that these people will

1015
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: go to.

1016
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 2: To say rules for thee and not for me.

1017
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,600
