1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray 2 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people. 3 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: He's not got a free shot. And all these networks 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: lying about the people, the people have pad a belly 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. 6 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: I know you've tried to do everything in the world 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: It's going to happen. 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 2: And where do people like that go to share the 10 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: big line? 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 3: Mega media? 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 13 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: these people had a conscience. 14 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: If that answer is to save my country, this country 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: will be saved. 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 3: Or use your host Stephen. 18 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: Kna Saturday, twenty seven December year, Earlwer twenty twenty five 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: Larry Swichrit's my guest. Larry. You have a new book coming. 20 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: Anytime that you come up with a new book, it's 21 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: an event. You've got a new book that's coming out 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: here in a month or two. And you're the author 23 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 1: of the famous Patriots History of the United States. You 24 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: had a couple of additional editions that you wrote a 25 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: book for room on the Patriot's History of Globalization. You've 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: got so many irons in the fire, and you understand 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: Trump politics and MAGA as well as anybody. Talk to 28 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: me about not just the new book, but the concept 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: of it. Well, how did you come to this concept? 30 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: And people are always fascinated about writers, you know, how 31 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: longly take you do the research? When do you stop 32 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: researching and start writing. 33 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 4: We found after the last edition of Patriots History, United 34 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 4: States came out in twenty eighteen that Sentinel was not 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: interested in doing a twentieth anniversary edition or updating it 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: in any way, and I felt an obligation. 37 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 5: To our readers to keep the book current. 38 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 4: It is in its forty fifth pre and just last 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 4: week I think we sold seventeen hundred copies. I mean, 40 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 4: it just continues to be a best selling book all 41 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 4: the time. But since then I've been researching stuff in 42 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: case I ever had another edition. And then last year 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 4: I decided, well, I'm going to write two more chapters 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 4: that will bring everything up to twenty twenty five and 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: make them free. 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 5: Available to anyone who emails me. 47 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 4: So if you're out there and you want the new 48 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 4: chapter twenty three and the new chapter twenty four that 49 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: go from twenty eighteen to twenty twenty five. Email me 50 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 4: at Larry at Wildworldohistory dot com and I'll send you 51 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: the free copies. I think after they'll be in PDFs, 52 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 4: not the whole book. I'll send you two three PDFs 53 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: with the new stuff in it. I think after we 54 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 4: did our show on Thanksgiving, I probably sent out four 55 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 4: or five hundred of those requests. So I had all 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 4: this material that I've been researching, and I realize there's 57 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 4: a lot of depth that needs to be developed here, 58 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 4: and the twenty first century in particular. I love historical irony, 59 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 4: and the twenty first century in particular just seems to 60 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 4: be rife with historical irony. For example, we start off 61 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 4: with a virus, the Y two K bug, that turned 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,119 Speaker 4: out not to be anything because the business people took 63 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 4: it seriously, and we pretty much in the first quarter century, 64 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: and in twenty twenty twenty to twenty twenty one with 65 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 4: another bug, the China virus. Obama was supposed to be 66 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 4: the transformative figure of the twenty first century. He's not 67 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: transformative at all. Trump is the one that has transformed 68 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: the first quarter of the twenty first century. So the 69 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 4: book is full of historical irony. And I would say 70 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 4: I researched it often on for I don't know, five 71 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 4: or six years. 72 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 5: Just filing stuff away as it came to me. 73 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 4: You know, this would be a neat story to tell, 74 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 4: or this is an important thing people need to understand. 75 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: And talk to me about the twenty first century. As 76 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: a historian, it's always tougher. I guess because journalism's called 77 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: I thinks it was Time magazine that said they were 78 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: the first draft of history. It's always harder to write 79 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: it when you're in the moment than able to go back, like, 80 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: for instance, when you did Patriots History, you and is 81 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: it Mike Allen. You guys had taught history for decades. 82 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,799 Speaker 1: In fact, one of the reasons you wrote the book 83 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: is that you couldn't find, as you told me, you 84 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: couldn't find a history text that you thought was unbiased 85 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: enough to actually explain the American experience to your students. 86 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: That they were so biased, had become so left wing 87 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: that you and your co author finally said, hey, I 88 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 1: guess we're going to do this ourselves right exactly. 89 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 4: Let me give you one of the quickest and easiest 90 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 4: observations you can make on how biased these existing textbooks were. 91 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 4: If you come to the post Civil War period, there 92 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 4: is always a section in these textbooks on the building 93 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 4: of the transcontinental railroads Union Pacific, Central Pacific, later the 94 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 4: Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific, and almost without exception, I've documented 95 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 4: this in another book, My forty eight Liberal Lives, But 96 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: almost without exception, the established historians would come to a 97 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 4: sentence where they would say, almost this exact line, the 98 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 4: trans continental railroads never would have been built without government aid, 99 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 4: which is simply a lie, because James J. Hill built 100 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 4: the Great Northern Railroad without a dime of government assistance, 101 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 4: and it was a stronger, more powerful, profitable railroad than 102 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 4: any of those built with government assistants. But that's just 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 4: an example of where you can look to these existing 104 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 4: textbooks and they don't just massage the truth. 105 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 5: Often they just kind of destroy the truth. But you're absolutely. 106 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 4: Right that teaching and writing modern history is incredibly difficult. 107 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 4: Our challenge in writing the early parts of American history, 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 4: Mike Gallan and I, our challenge was to find enough 109 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 4: sources or the right sources. The challenge for writing history 110 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 4: in the last ten years. Is you're deluged with sources. 111 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 4: You just have so many sources to look here there. 112 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: The information is out there in a galaxy level amounts. 113 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 4: So that becomes the most difficult problem. And you have 114 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: to apply the law of significance. How many people does 115 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 4: this affect over how much time? 116 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 5: That's what makes it significant. 117 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: When you want me back, let's go back to the 118 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: Because the Patriot's History. And when I was in Danbury, 119 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: I was teaching civics. And you know, they have a 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: library there. It's actually a pretty good library. Most of 121 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: the books are, in fact, all the books are by 122 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: prisoners or prisoners families, but they've got it's a pretty 123 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a voracious reader. A really great a 124 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: really great library. So and I was tapped to be 125 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: a lecturer there or teacher of civics. One of the 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: first one of the first things I did is uh 127 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: is go the library and uh and they didn't have 128 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: a copy of The Patriot's History. So I think I 129 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: ordered three. I kept one for myself and I put 130 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: two into the library right away, of which people just devoured. 131 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: But uh, I needed I needed that. I needed to 132 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: book because you give such good overview. So as I 133 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: was getting into details about the constitution of the declaration 134 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: and the structure of the government and uh issue these 135 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: things that most of the prisoners had never really been 136 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 1: taught and never had access to because they were quick learners. 137 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: And I will tell you, Larry, they were absolutely fascinated 138 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: by it. I could tell right then that the education 139 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: system in this country has failed so much because most 140 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: of the prisoners, and most of the prisoners that took 141 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: my course were African American and Hispanic, and uh, they 142 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: had they had a real thirst. They had a thirst 143 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: and off they want to understand the system as you 144 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: and Alan, and I started thinking about the book a lot, 145 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: because I've read Patriot's History a couple of times and 146 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: when it first came out, and then another time before 147 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: I got into the Trump campaign, it was this happened, 148 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: you know, getting caught up to speed. I think it 149 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: was in the summer of fifteen sixteen fifteen, I think, 150 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: and then during and when I was in prison. What 151 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: was it that you and Mike Allen as you sat there, 152 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: I think you were at the University of Dayton at 153 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the time, correct, Yes, And where well was Mike and 154 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: Dayton also was he's a professor. Where was said? Where 155 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: did he teach? 156 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 4: Mike was at the University of Washington, Tacoma. We met 157 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 4: around nineteen ninety at a Western Historical convention, then didn't 158 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: meet again in person until after the book had been 159 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: out for almost a year. We wrote the whole book 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 4: by phone and by email at that time, so that 161 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: that in itself made it kind of kind of interesting. 162 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: By the way, the book is, correct me if I'm wrong, 163 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: If it's not the best selling history book We've ever had, 164 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: it's one of the top two or three best selling 165 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: histories that I've ever sold in the United States. 166 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 4: Well, of course Zen's book People's History is probably the 167 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 4: best seller of trade books, only because so many college 168 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 4: classes picked up Zen's book. However, I did learn that 169 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 4: our book. Zen said this that our book outsold his 170 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 4: in his first ten years versus our first ten years, 171 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 4: which is kind of interesting. Now, once he got picked 172 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: up by all of the college faculty, he began to 173 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 4: take a lead over US. 174 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 5: But Patriots History in the United. 175 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: States does very very well for a one thousand page 176 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: comprehensive textbook. 177 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: As you and Alan looked at the way American history 178 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: was taught at the college level. What are the two 179 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: or three things in your book that are different than 180 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: most things? In other words, as you guys went back 181 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: and said, look, we've got to go do it ourselves 182 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: and got to do all the research and write it 183 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:11,559 Speaker 1: because these couple of things are fundamentally wrong and lead students, 184 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: particularly in those formative years, down the wrong path. What 185 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 1: were they? 186 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 5: Okay, I'll give you three big ones. 187 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: First one, as we say in our introduction, we don't 188 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: believe in my country right or wrong, but we do 189 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 4: believe that my country is not always wrong. As almost 190 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 4: all these other textbooks did, they dwelled on America's faults 191 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 4: and minimized all of America's successes. Number two, we introduced 192 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 4: the four pillars of American exceptionalism. So when you go 193 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 4: to teach government or civics, for example, the first two 194 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 4: are really relevant, and that is this nation was built 195 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 4: on a Christian, mostly Protestant religious tradition that emphasized individual 196 00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 4: church congregations or congregationalism. And the reason that's important is 197 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 4: that it gave America a bottom up religious structure that 198 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 4: emphasized and worked hand in glove with the second pillar, 199 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 4: which is common Law, which came over from England, which 200 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 4: is a bottom up political structure. So we had a 201 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 4: great deal of practice in resisting government. I mean everything 202 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 4: from guys burning down the governor's mansions and what not, 203 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: to calling out their own militias. You would never have 204 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: seen that in Australia or Canada. And then the third 205 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 4: real thing that we do in the book is that 206 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 4: we look at everything. We look at America's faults and failures, 207 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 4: but we also look at all of America's successes. And 208 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: there's a great deal of political, military, and economic history 209 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 4: in Patriots History because my degree was in banking and 210 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 4: financial history, so I think you'll get a lot of 211 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 4: economic analysis that is not in other books, particularly good 212 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 4: economic analysis. 213 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 5: I'd like to think. 214 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: No, I want to make sure I emphasize that when 215 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: you read it is a is a comprehensive history. It 216 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: reads as a narrative story and you've got all the 217 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: personalities and personages. But most time we read a history book, 218 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: you can tell the professor is a political scientist or 219 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: he's a professor of political history, so you get the 220 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: politics with it so deeply. But as I can tell you, 221 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: and I think Trump's the perfect example of that. Unless 222 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: you understand the economics and the underlying economic milieu and 223 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: the forces, particularly the forces driving the economics and where 224 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: it's taking you, it's very hard to understand the real 225 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: meaning of politics besides just counting up who what party 226 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: was running and what were their issues and what was 227 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: the outcomes. That's one of the reasons I love it. 228 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: We got about a minute here, and of course you're 229 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: gonna be with his the rest of the time. But 230 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: in thinking through the book on the twenty fourth century, 231 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: how did you use what framework did you use for this? 232 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 5: Well? 233 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 4: As I said, I thought that there was a great 234 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 4: deal of irony and so many of the accepted memes 235 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 4: that we were seeing at the time, the accepted themes 236 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: that Obama was the transformative president of the early twenty 237 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 4: first century. Bush committed us to a war. I'm convinced 238 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 4: that if he had gone into a rock, looked for 239 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 4: WMDs after six or eight months ago, Nope, not there, 240 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 4: and just left that in fact, he probably would have 241 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 4: ended up a much more popular president than he was. 242 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: And then of course you have this final third of 243 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 4: the period, kind of the last eight years, where you 244 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 4: had this struggle between the Trump populist forces and the 245 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 4: forces of the elite, something that I think historian Richard 246 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: Hofstadter would have loved, except he would. 247 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 5: Have looked at it the wrong way. 248 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 4: The elites now are all entirely on the side of 249 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 4: not entirely, but mostly on the side of the Democrat Party, 250 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 4: and the other groups, as we saw in the last election, 251 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 4: are starting to move over on to the side of. 252 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 5: The MAGA movement and the populist movement. 253 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: Larry, hang on for second, or take a short commercial 254 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: break Birch Gold End of the Dollar Empire.

It's the last Saturday show of 282 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: the year. Take a second explain the company. I mean, 283 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: I know when people go online and they get some 284 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: of your products, I get nothing but positive feedback. It's extraordinary. 285 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: And really I want to give you a hat tip 286 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: that you know, people love interacting with you. They love 287 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: the way the past you have because Trevor's kind of everything. 288 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a very small team, but they 289 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: conceive the products, they test the products, they work at 290 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: the manufacturing schedule, the marketing everything, the branding of it, 291 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: et cetera. So you and your team are kind of 292 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: a one man show. It's a very small team, so 293 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: talks about some of your favorite products and what should 294 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: people be looking for in the new year. 295 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, thanks for having me, Steve. So on that point, 296 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 7: you know, for anyone that doesn't know much about us, 297 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 7: the real reason why we created Sacred Human was just 298 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 7: to offer you know, health products that are clean, natural 299 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 7: and made with integrity. So we launched about two years ago, 300 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 7: and again our goal is really just to provide people 301 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 7: high quality and affordable products while kind of breaking away 302 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 7: from the big corporate model that usually prioritizes profit over health, 303 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 7: which is what we usually see. And I've said it before, 304 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 7: but a lot of these larger companies within it, within 305 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 7: the industry, tend to cut corners where they market their 306 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 7: products is healthy. And then of course when you look 307 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 7: at the labels, there's a ton of unnatural ingredients, chemical preservatives, 308 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 7: a lot of fillers that really don't do your health 309 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 7: any favors and if anything, could be detrimental to your health. 310 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 7: So in that regard, we just wanted to take the 311 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 7: opposite route and always make sure that we're using clean 312 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 7: ingredients and never adding any preservatives or chemicals or anything 313 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 7: like that, and we always make sure to promise that 314 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 7: everything's produced right here in the USA. And to your 315 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 7: point two, we also third party lab tests all of 316 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 7: our products, so we essentially double check with things like 317 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 7: heavy metals, bacteria, and ingredient purity, which a lot of 318 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 7: other companies don't do because it costs quite a bit 319 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 7: of money to do that. 320 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 5: But we don't mind. 321 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 7: And then on that note too, I just wanted to 322 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 7: highlight our flagship product, which is our grass fed beefliver, 323 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 7: which is still our number one product, even though we 324 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 7: rolled out quite a few other products and have some 325 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 7: new ones on the way as well. 326 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 5: But you know, I. 327 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 7: Still know that many people aren't familiar with the benefits 328 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 7: of beef flivver and they don't know just how powerful 329 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,400 Speaker 7: it is when it comes to nutrition. But it's oftentimes 330 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 7: called Nature's multi vitamin for pretty good reason, mainly because 331 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 7: it's packed with highly bioavailable nutrients things like vitamin A, 332 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 7: co Q ten, iron, zinc, fold eate. The list is 333 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 7: pretty extensive, but these all do things like help promote 334 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 7: healthy skin, hair, heart, immune system, as well as brain function, 335 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,439 Speaker 7: so that in itself is a pretty remarkable product and honestly, 336 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 7: I've yet to find another product on the market that 337 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 7: delivers that much bang for your buck. But also, to 338 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 7: take it a step further, it contains other critical vitamins 339 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 7: and minerals that a lot of people are deficient in, 340 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 7: so things like colleen, selenium K. 341 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 5: Two as well as copper. 342 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 7: And then of course, I think the biggest thing that 343 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 7: people love most about the beefliver is just the natural 344 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 7: energy boost that you get after taking it. Even after 345 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 7: all this time, after two years, we still get flooded 346 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 7: with reviews and emails on a daily basis of people 347 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 7: just letting us know how much their energy levels have 348 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 7: improved and how much better they feel. So of course 349 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 7: that's always the biggest bonus to take in the beef 350 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 7: liver and why people love it so much. But what 351 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 7: makes the like really stand out too is that because 352 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 7: it is a whole food supplement, your body is actually 353 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 7: able to retain and absorb all these nutrients as opposed 354 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 7: to just flushing them out. You know, if you're taking 355 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 7: like a synthetic multi vitamin or any synthetic vitamin for 356 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 7: that matter, which unfortunately again is usually the case if 357 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 7: you're just buying vitamins and multi vitamins from like Amazon 358 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 7: or Costco even or any store shelf is typically what 359 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 7: we see. So again, like I mention, you're getting much 360 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 7: better bang for your buck when you take the beef 361 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 7: liver because your body can actually retain these nutrients and 362 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 7: utilize them, which is what also leads to the energy boost. 363 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 7: So I can't recommend that product enough. We have quite 364 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 7: a few other products like our collagen our immunity which 365 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 7: is great for the winter months, as well as our 366 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 7: magnesium and vitamin D which is essential for nervous system regulation, 367 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 7: and then our Talol moisturizer which has also been extremely popular. 368 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 5: But yeah, I won't go on for too much longer. 369 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 7: I just wanted to give you a little background on 370 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 7: us in our main product as well. 371 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: How do people one?

You know, Arnold Toynbee, you 399 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: know Hegel, Carlisle, all of this. Uh, do you have 400 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: a theory? I've people know, I'm a big believer in 401 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: the turnings. You know, we had the revolution and then 402 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: every eighty one hundred years you had the Civil War, 403 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: then the Great Depression of World War two, and now, uh, well, 404 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: how do we call it the age of Trump? Do 405 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: you have any because I've read your books and I 406 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: can't discern if you think there's a grand theory of 407 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: history or if you if you're simply the historians just 408 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: sitting there going I want to get the story right. 409 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: So you have the facts in front of you and 410 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: you can you can think through great thoughts in your 411 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: own theory. 412 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 4: Sir well, I believe history resembles itself but doesn't repeat itself. 413 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 4: But I also believe the United States is special, that 414 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,439 Speaker 4: America was created, particularly in Plymouth with the Mayflower Group, 415 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 4: that it was a covenant with God, and I believe 416 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 4: America has a special type of dispensation. I know that's 417 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 4: going to drive a whole bunch of people crazy and 418 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 4: start pulling hair and so forth, But I don't think 419 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 4: that American history is typical of that of many other 420 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 4: empires or nations. That's why I really don't pay a 421 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 4: whole lot of attention to people who say, well, we're 422 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 4: like the Roman Empire. 423 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 5: Well, but the Roman Empire was not started by God. 424 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 4: God essentially set up a covenant with the United States, 425 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 4: and I don't believe that he has allowed that covenant 426 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: to lapse. Now in light of that, yeah, I think 427 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 4: you have to tell the story that's in front of you, 428 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 4: and when it's painful, you need to tell that too. 429 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 4: In my biography of President Reagan, I didn't hesitate to 430 00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 4: talk about his role that he led the charge in 431 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 4: that Immigration Act Simpson Missoli that was so horrendous. It 432 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 4: wasn't imposed on him from outside. He wasn't tricked into it. 433 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: He started it in nineteen eighty one when he came 434 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 4: into office. So I think you have to admit that 435 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 4: there are these, you know, black spots or weak moments 436 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 4: in various administrations and in various people. 437 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 5: That doesn't take away from their hands. 438 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: Okay, but hang on a second. I don't want to 439 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: bury the lead here. Go back to the You believe 440 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: that the United States was founded in a compact between 441 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: it's beginning citizens in God that was actually a covenant. 442 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, the Mayflower Compact was not just a covenant 443 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 4: with each other, but a covenant with God saying that 444 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 4: we we understand why we're here, you know. And Jonathan 445 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 4: Edwards or I'm sorry, John Winter. It comes over and says, 446 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 4: where a city set on a hill, we are here 447 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 4: to be different, to look different. And you know, when 448 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 4: we get up to the contents, hang. 449 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: On because I want to. I want to explore that. 450 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 1: Hang on. I want to explore this because I think 451 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: it's very a very fitting way for us to end 452 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: the year. In the next couple of segments, the Mayflower, 453 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: they were a group of dissenters or outsiders, I mean 454 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: in in even among I don't know how to say this, 455 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: like the Puritans or the people that were anti the 456 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: Church of England. Weren't they considered even too radical for them? 457 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: And and then they go to Holland and they're too 458 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: radical there. These people have a tough time fitting in 459 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: and they don't have a problem with that. They know 460 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: they're going to have a tough time fitting in because 461 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: they believe their lives are dedicated to God in in 462 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: a uh and you don't need priests to do that. 463 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: Their their their lives are decade to God. When they 464 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: finally get here, they have they've missed their mark. They're 465 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: supposed to arrive in Virginia and they arrive in the 466 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: and the story is amazing. They arrive on the barren, 467 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, rocky coast of Massa, which is being a 468 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: native Virginia and having gone to harved I tell you 469 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: that the temperature is quite very different. Living style. They 470 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: get there, they almost starve, but they make this compact 471 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: and they decide to do it. They decide to do 472 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: it right before they kind of go they've gone ashore 473 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: to explore, but before they actually go ashore to actually 474 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,479 Speaker 1: do the settlement. Because they've got a lot of people 475 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: on board who are not the centers or are not 476 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: part of their religious group. They've got, you know, some 477 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: people just on for the ride they're going to start. 478 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: In fact, I think the majority of the people were 479 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: there were not part of their group. I got a 480 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: minute here and then I'm going to continue in the 481 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: next segment. Is that basically the framework of the story 482 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: when they sit down and say, hey, we have to 483 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: have we have to have some governing document that sets 484 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,160 Speaker 1: this up exactly. 485 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 4: The Mayflower Compact set up three major things. First of all, 486 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 4: it said we're loyal to the king. We're not being disloyal. 487 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: We got blown off course, we didn't mean to violate 488 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 4: your will here. The second thing was the people we 489 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 4: call strangers who are not Puritans, they are equal to 490 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 4: us in all political rights, and therefore they are going 491 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 4: to have an equal part in the polity of the country. 492 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 4: And then the third thing was they needed to elect 493 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 4: a leader, and that in itself was remarkable that they 494 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 4: elected their leader. There's that common law bottom up impetus 495 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 4: right there off the bat, that they believed that they 496 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 4: and not the company in England, were to select their 497 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 4: own leader. 498 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: Larry Schwikert I would say, in my mind, particularly for 499 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: the Maga movement and for the populace nationalists, our greatest 500 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: living historian and a fascinating guy and a guy who 501 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: understands the nuts and bolts in the mechanics of modern 502 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: how do I call it the grassroots politics? Short commercial 503 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: break will return with Larry. 504 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 2: In a moment. 505 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 6: War Room. 506 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 3: Use your host, Stephen k Bath. 507 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: Home title lock.

So Larry, Okay, I got it. 530 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: The strangers are equal, everybody's equal. But you said something, 531 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,719 Speaker 1: and I know you so well, you don't throw out 532 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: those kind of things as you mean it. You said 533 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: that the United States, and your historians looked everywhere. You 534 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: said that it is a special nation because it was 535 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: founded on a covenant with God Almighty. How does that? Hey, 536 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,479 Speaker 1: the strange the guys that are not part of our 537 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: religious group are going to be equal to us politically, right, 538 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: We're going to learn how to do. You know, so 539 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: these seem pretty pretty basic. Why is that? Why is 540 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: the mayfairy compact to you, the foundational element of a 541 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: covenant with God himself? 542 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 4: Well, because I think the first thing that was on 543 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: the Puritan's mind. All Pilgrims are Puritans. The first thing 544 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 4: that was on their mind was what's my relationship to God? 545 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 4: And so that infused every single thing they did, all 546 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 4: of their laws, how all things were done. You know, 547 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 4: for a while, in Massachusetts they had sumptuary laws, which said, 548 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 4: we don't want people flaunting their wealth because even if 549 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 4: you're wealthy, it's just not ethically right to kind of 550 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 4: rub it in. 551 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 5: Other people's faces. 552 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 4: So they would go about their lives doing that, and 553 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 4: it affected everything all the way through our history. For example, 554 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 4: I'm sure you've heard this many times, the famous John 555 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 4: Adams quotation that says that our system of government is 556 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 4: meant for a wholly religious people and won't work with 557 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 4: anybody else. 558 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 5: Except that's not true. 559 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 4: The Constitution, in fact, was a document designed specifically for 560 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 4: unholy and sinful people, with every single check and balance 561 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 4: and limitation you could possibly put on it. 562 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 5: Because the founders didn't trust people. 563 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 4: It's quite the opposite of a government built for a 564 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 4: holy people, where you could trust everybody to do the 565 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 4: right thing. And you get up into the Civil War era, 566 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 4: for example, and you see people like Lewis Tappan, a 567 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 4: devout Christian who's also a leader in the abolitionist movement 568 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 4: because he believes that all men are not to be free, 569 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 4: as Lincoln would say. So, I think it infuses our 570 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 4: entire culture for almost the first two hundred years. 571 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: Is it today as you've seen it with you know, 572 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 1: we've had masks. One of the things we fight for 573 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: here every day is a moratorium on immigration, at least 574 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: a ten year more. I'm talking about legal immigrations. You've 575 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: got to be zero illegal. We want to take illegal 576 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: down for ten years. Given that we've had since Reagan, 577 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: really predating it, since Kennedy's bill, the immigration Bill in 578 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four, which was catastrophic for this country. It 579 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: had bigger impact than the civil rights legislation and the 580 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: voting rights which everybody focuses on from that time. But 581 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: this more fund much more fundamentally changing country than exacerbated 582 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: by President Reagan and really the advisors around President Reagan. 583 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: I don't totally disagree with you, but he was fed 584 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: a lot of bad information. He fed a lot of 585 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: bad information at the time. Given that is the mass 586 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: immigration hasn't been so changed the construct of the country. 587 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not just talking about race, but I'm talking 588 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: about the understanding of the underpinnings of the spiritual side 589 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: of the Judeo Christian West that we can't possibly be 590 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: still in a Covenantial was an age of the covenant, sir. 591 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, it has definitely changed as certainly, especially as you 592 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 4: get people from non Christian faith Muslims, a lot of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, 593 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 4: and so on and so forth. It's still lurking out there, 594 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 4: and depending on who you read and what evidence you accept, 595 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 4: there may or may not be a revival going on 596 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 4: out there now. Ryan Berg, who's one of the best 597 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 4: statisticians and following American religion, right now, suggests there's a 598 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 4: small revival growing. One of the things Mike Allen and 599 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 4: I did in Patriot's History was where the only book 600 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 4: out there to deal with the Azuza Street revival in 601 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 4: the early nineteen hundreds, to mention Billy Graham and Oral Roberts. 602 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 4: I dare you to find Oral Roberts and any other 603 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 4: book on American history. But what has also changed, Steve, 604 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 4: is not just the immigration, but it has been the speed. 605 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 4: I keep coming back to this, the speed with which 606 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 4: our modern society moves. And Gene Twingey, who does a 607 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 4: lot of research on generations, finds a massive generational gap 608 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 4: starting right after the introduction of the iPhone, and just 609 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 4: stratospheric increases in loneliness, in idiation of self. 610 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 5: Harm, in suicide, all that kind of stuff. 611 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 4: So we have seen a shocking shift in the communication 612 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 4: structure and the entire culture of communications since really the 613 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 4: year two thousand and really only Donald Trump has figured 614 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 4: out how to navigate those waters. That's why I keep saying, 615 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 4: he's so far ahead of all of these other guys. 616 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 4: They don't even know what lake they are playing in, 617 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 4: let alone trying to swim in it. 618 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: Are you concerned, particularly when we talk about technology and 619 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: technological change accelerating at an accelerating rate. Are you concerned, 620 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: like we are here at the war, We're pretty open 621 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: about this concept called the singularity, not just about artificial intelligence, 622 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: but the the convergence of advanced chip design and quantum 623 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: computing and crisper biotechnology, regenitive robotics, and artificial general intelligence, superintelligence, 624 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: the conversion of that in this concept we call the singularity, 625 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: which on this side of that point is Homo sapiens 626 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: and on the other side of that point is Homo 627 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,400 Speaker 1: sapien two point oh. Are you as concerned about that? 628 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: And do you think that changes the entire Is that 629 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,759 Speaker 1: a line we're crossed? That everything beforehand, Larry Schreker say 630 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: this is human history or Homo sapient history. Everything posts 631 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: that is Homo sapien two point oh history. 632 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 5: Like borg history. 633 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 4: And you know, I joke that there are three ways 634 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,400 Speaker 4: that AI think can play out. One is skynet. The 635 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 4: computers can get so smart that they just nucas. Number 636 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 4: two is matrix. We could already be in it, and 637 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 4: you and I are just having a conversation that's meaningless 638 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 4: because the machine's already controlling us. And then the third 639 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 4: option that I don't see discussed very often is that 640 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 4: the computers get so smart they realize they aren't God, 641 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 4: and at that point they begin to self limit and 642 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 4: self not destruct, But I don't know, self regulate to 643 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 4: the point that they begin to understand that they are 644 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 4: only servants of humans and not the mess. Who knows 645 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 4: where all this goes. One thing is sure AI is 646 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 4: here in various forms. It's accelerating it at light speed. 647 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 4: Norway just changed its entire energy structure in order to 648 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 4: accommodate Bill Gates a six billion dollar AI plant that's 649 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 4: going to be built in Norway. And I think Trump 650 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 4: gets AI. I think he's left everybody else in the 651 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 4: dirt with understanding the AIS here, that the US has 652 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 4: to control it, and that we have to be dominant 653 00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 4: in AI, not allow the chi cooms to dominate us 654 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 4: with AI. 655 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 5: And then what isn't being talked about? 656 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 4: Steve and you can probably lead the way on this 657 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 4: because you know so many more people. We have drastic 658 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 4: energy needs that are going to come with AI. Hence 659 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:13,279 Speaker 4: you see yesterday truth merged with fusion. Forget what day 660 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,400 Speaker 4: that was a few days ago, truth merged with fusion. 661 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 4: So you've got the first real investment in major fusion 662 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 4: technology that may go somewhere because it's not relying on 663 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 4: radioactive stuff but boron. And then the other big, big 664 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,080 Speaker 4: issue that no one is talking about is water. You're 665 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 4: going to have to have water to power all these 666 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 4: massive data centers. A couple of states are already starting 667 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 4: to look at, well, you're going to have to be 668 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 4: able to dig your own wells or whatnot before you 669 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 4: can put in a data center. Who knows where that goes. 670 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,960 Speaker 4: But these are the issues that are now confronting the 671 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 4: next quarter century here, and AI is right at the top. 672 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 5: Ethically, morally and economically. 673 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: Do you think that that we don't have enough control 674 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: of technology that technological change? I mean, you just mentioned 675 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: about the historian that's going back or the researcher has 676 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: done all this data and sees a clear line of demarcation. 677 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,439 Speaker 1: Because I've read his stuff. It's amazing. The clear line 678 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: of demarcation in our recent past is really the promulgation 679 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,320 Speaker 1: of the iPhone. And you see all these problems, particularly 680 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 1: with that young generation that had It's one of the 681 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: reasons we're fighting for AI regulations so hard about how 682 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,720 Speaker 1: these companies and how the technology is going to interface 683 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 1: with children. But do you do you believe as a 684 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: historian that as you see this, that you're having a 685 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: very tough time with institutions and structures that were really 686 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: built for something closer to the closer to the writing 687 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 1: of the Constitution than it is for the Homo sapien 688 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: two point zero having an institutional problem coming to gross 689 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: with this. 690 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're absolutely right, And I'll just go back 691 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 4: to what I was saying earlier about Congress. Congress is 692 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 4: on the verge of being structurally irrelevant. They're getting to 693 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 4: the point where they cannot remotely move fast enough to 694 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 4: deal with today's problems. And that's why Trump has issued 695 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 4: so many executive orders, and it's only going to continue 696 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 4: because they can't even begin to get a hold with 697 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,640 Speaker 4: legislating what he's already put in place through executive orders. Now, 698 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 4: the one concern that many people raise, well, what happens 699 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 4: if we get a Democrat president, which I'm skeptical that's 700 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 4: going to happen. 701 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 5: I think this hang on. 702 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,000 Speaker 4: I think maybe the current Democrat party is going extinct 703 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 4: the way the Federalists and the Whigs were going extinct. 704 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 4: People say, oh, that can't happen, but they don't understand. 705 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 4: They're looking at it from the perspective. It hasn't happened 706 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 4: in their lifetime. But we have seen the Disocrats go extinct, 707 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,319 Speaker 4: We saw the Progressive Party of tr go extinct. And 708 00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 4: the Democrats as they are now structured, are in deep 709 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,080 Speaker 4: do do very serious straits because they are on the 710 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,879 Speaker 4: wrong side of all of these issues, but particularly AI, 711 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 4: because they cannot come to grips with the additional power 712 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 4: needs of AI, which they oppose because they're green, and 713 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 4: the water needs of AI, which they oppose because they 714 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 4: don't want to have private companies setting up desalinization plans. 715 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 4: So it's a big problem for the current Democrat party, 716 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 4: and it's a big problem for Congress because I don't 717 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 4: think the structures in Congress exist, and I'm including the 718 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 4: Senate exist to even remotely keep up with what Trump 719 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 4: is doing, let alone to fashion policy on their own. 720 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: Isn't that going to fall into the trap of the 721 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: progressives that tells the constitutions a living document, and really, 722 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,799 Speaker 1: you know, the originalists and I guess the constructionists to 723 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,400 Speaker 1: say no, it's it's the document means what the founders 724 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: said it was. Can't you can't you fall into that 725 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:05,040 Speaker 1: heresy where you try to change things because the modern age. 726 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a problem, and as I would tell 727 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 4: any Congressman or senator listening, the way to fix it 728 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 4: is get off your ass and do your job. Start 729 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 4: passing legislation so that Trump doesn't have to issue an 730 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 4: executive order, so that everything doesn't come from. 731 00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,840 Speaker 5: Him, put his ideas into. 732 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 4: Law, and make yourselves relevant again. But it's going to 733 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 4: be extremely difficult because, as I said, you just look 734 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 4: at Congress now and look at all the people that 735 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 4: are resigning. I'm convinced they're resigning because they know they're irrelevant. 736 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: Wow. Short commercial break. We're going to wrap up here 737 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,400 Speaker 1: on a Saturday with one of my favorite historians, Harry Swiker. 738 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: Next in the World, What the World. 739 00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 6: We Will Buy? 740 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: The God We Rejoice. 741 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 3: War Room.

But then I was 768 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 4: talking with the same publisher about getting a book out 769 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,400 Speaker 4: for the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the United States, 770 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 4: and we will have a book out around Father's Day. 771 00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 4: I don't have a cover for you yet, called American Biography, 772 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,920 Speaker 4: a look at America's history through the lives of between 773 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 4: ninety seven and one hundred prominent Americans who are linked 774 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 4: to each other like six degrees of separation. It's really 775 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 4: really quite amazing writing this, and that'll be available in June. 776 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 4: So I'm touring next year through all sorts of homeschool conventions, 777 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,839 Speaker 4: making speeches around the country.

I want to go to the 780 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 1: homeschool because now it's shown that the SATs or higher, 781 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,400 Speaker 1: and I know a number of people have gone from 782 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,960 Speaker 1: or the kids from everyone in public schools that they 783 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 1: were in private schools, then they went to kind of 784 00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: classical Christian that wasn't good enough, and they went to homeschooling. 785 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: And they're really happy and only happy in the homeschool situation. 786 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 1: And part of the reasons they've got access to great 787 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: teaching materials from people like yourselves. Why is it that 788 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,920 Speaker 1: the homeschool community has kind of embraced you and your 789 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:42,320 Speaker 1: teaching of American history. 790 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I think, as I said from 791 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 4: the outset, we aren't anti American, and we certainly aren't 792 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:49,440 Speaker 4: anti God. 793 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 5: Patriots. 794 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 4: History of United States doesn't have a denominational perspective, but 795 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 4: it does have a Christian perspective, and somebody reading that 796 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 4: might not get it as well if you're not a 797 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 4: Christian as those who are Christians. The homeschool movement was 798 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,440 Speaker 4: where we really started before Glenn Beck picked us up, 799 00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 4: and it's just grown. I think we're the number one 800 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:15,359 Speaker 4: homeschool curriculum in history out there. I could be wrong, 801 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 4: but I think we are, so it's become a giant market. 802 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 4: It's almost quadrupled in the last three or four years. 803 00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,719 Speaker 4: Some estimates say there's twenty million homeschoolers out there right now. 804 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 4: And that of course was exacerbated or exploded by the 805 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 4: COVID disaster with all the lockdowns. People saw what was 806 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 4: happening in their public schools when they looked at their kids' 807 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 4: computers and saw what they were getting, and that drove 808 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,120 Speaker 4: a lot of people out of public schools and into 809 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 4: private schools and homeschooling. 810 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,839 Speaker 1: One more time, where do people go to your site 811 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 1: to find everything. 812 00:44:53,520 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 4: Aboutelary www dot wildworldohistory dot com or for the political side, 813 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 4: I wildworldopolitics dot com. 814 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 5: Either one or get you to me. 815 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: Larry Schwikers, thank you so much for spending the last 816 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,239 Speaker 1: Saturday show of the year of twenty twenty five in 817 00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 1: the war room with us.
