00:00:29.000I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:34.520Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:38.260If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:44.660War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.
00:00:51.960You're in the War Room. It's Monday, May 4th in the year of our Lord, 2026.
00:00:55.880It's Natalie Winters hosting live from Washington, D.C.
00:00:59.340It's been a while since I've been here.
00:01:01.560I always get PTSD from when Steve was in prison, but much better in brighter times.
00:01:08.220Case in point, R.K. Jr. is HHS secretary.
00:01:12.540I'm sure a lot of you guys are watching that event.
00:01:14.520We've been live streaming here focusing on the mental health epidemic and the mistreatment, misuse of some pretty wild drugs, if you ask me.
00:01:24.580I know they have been talking a lot about that all day here in D.C.
00:01:29.120We are honored to be joined by the president of Maha Institute.
00:01:33.760That is Mark Gordon joining us to sort of break down first and foremost what happened at this event,
00:01:39.840but also the implications for our audience and how you think the Trump administration can turn what you guys have been discussing today into much needed policy change.
00:01:54.040do we have mark oh yes yes hi hi oh is there is there a question i'm sorry
00:02:04.460yes sorry i think we might be having technical difficulties if you can just tell our audience a
00:02:10.900little bit about the event you guys have been running today what rfk jr said and what you
00:02:15.900guys are looking to sort of translate into actual actionable policies from the administration
00:02:20.440yes so the maha institute held a summit today on the over medicalization of mental health
00:02:31.280in the u.s i mean this is an epic there's an epidemic of over prescribing of psych meds that
00:02:40.360is larger in number than the opioid epidemic and the is a similar phenomena where the
00:02:49.760The corporatized U.S. health system has run out of control and has allowed itself to be captured by big pharma and is now acting pathologically overprescribing psych meds to kids.
00:03:05.680We have four million children in this country on psych meds, some of them as young as five years old.
00:03:12.080We heard today from a number of people who've had their lives ruined by this overprescription of meds.
00:03:21.320And it's really devastating, some of these stories.
00:03:25.680And the numbers are really just out of control.
00:03:32.720You're talking about 60 million Americans on psych meds, many of them for just very normal conditions.
00:03:40.160You have kids who are being overprescribed for not being able to sit still in class or the normal struggles of being a teenager.
00:03:50.100And our medical system has done this and has gotten tens of millions of Americans hooked on these drugs, and they've never given them a safe way to get off.
00:04:02.140So you have now tens of millions of people who are stuck on these drugs for many cases years based off of prescriptions that were maybe intended to last weeks or something like that.
00:04:17.920And the medical system has never given them a way that doctors don't know how, haven't been taught how to deprescribe, to taper people off of these drugs.
00:04:33.340Secretary Kennedy came here today and said that all of that is changing, that the government is now rolling out standards to allow people to taper off of drugs.
00:04:45.120They're going to be training doctors on how to do it.
00:04:48.440They're going to be reorienting our health system towards getting people off of these medications and not just getting them on it.
00:04:58.540And we had a number of people from a number of different health agencies here talking about the role that all the various different government agencies are playing.
00:05:08.200We've had independent doctors and experts from around the world talking about some of the practices and what we need to do to change our broken system.
00:05:22.580I'm curious when you talk about this over-prescription, are you trying to address the people actually getting on them?
00:05:32.900or the full spectrum of it, the inability to sort of get off it without experiencing, you know,
00:05:37.680withdrawal symptoms, a myriad of symptoms? Is this sort of, you know, from trying to decrease
00:05:43.820the initial number of people on it, but also make it easier to get off? Is this really a
00:05:47.900full spectrum policy change? Yes, it's really, it's everything. So, I mean, a lot of people
00:05:56.720are put on these meds without proper consent. There's been a lot of talk about having proper
00:06:04.660informed consent from patients, which means telling patients about some of the potentially
00:06:10.400horrible side effects that have been hidden and not disclosed up until now. The Veterans
00:06:18.380Administration is talking about requiring written sign consent because currently 70% of veterans who
00:06:29.080are treated by the VA end up on a psych med at some point, many of them not being properly
00:06:36.480informed about that. There's also, you know, there's lots of talk about, you know, everything
00:06:42.060from, you know, nutrition to sleep to exercise to, you know, dealing with the underlying problems.
00:06:48.000Some people have, you know, depression for very good rational reasons and not just jumping to medicate them.
00:06:57.000So really the whole, you know, the idea is that the whole medical system is going to really look at this again and really look at itself in the mirror and say, you know, we've done another opioid epidemic and we need to get off of this.
00:07:11.520And we need to make sure that these medications are only used in the narrow cases where they will actually be benefit as opposed to being sprayed widely as they are now.
00:07:26.600I'm sure the audience would love to hear more, and I want you to give them the tools to do that.
00:07:30.480If people want to rewatch or watch the summit you guys just had, get in contact with you, your organization, what you guys are doing on this pillar, a very important one.
00:07:40.040but also I know there's a whole spectrum.
00:07:42.180Where can they go to get informed and stay up to date?
00:09:53.400not we the taxpayers of the United States,
00:09:55.720not we, the people who just happen to show up here in this country, whether it's legally or illegally,
00:10:00.860that there are certain criteria, and that is the basic foundation of our republic.
00:10:07.280Are we even a sovereign country anymore is my question after watching that.
00:10:13.520I mean, I don't know. I've been to Mexico.
00:10:14.920I mean, tourists probably contribute more to the GDP of that country than native-born citizens.
00:10:19.300Do I get to vote in their elections?0.90
00:10:21.900I don't think so, although I guess we can't totally blame Democrats that much because while we're at it, we also got our cohort of horrible, nasty, nasty rhinos up here.1.00
00:10:33.560Maria Salazar gets to be the leading one of that pack, pushing the, you know, I'm supposed to say dignidad.0.99
00:10:40.260I think I'm supposed to do it in their native language, but I guess we'll call it the Dignity Act here in the war room.0.94
00:10:46.420So, no. Full stop, as Steve would say, no. Here's the issue, right? Usually we're told that we have to accept illegal aliens in droves into this country because it's a bargain, right, for the economy. That's the word they love to spin it as.
00:11:03.640Well, sure, it's a bargain for the employers because you, the taxpaying, loyal, patriotic American citizen, you have to subsidize their health care, their education, their transportation.
00:11:15.980And I think as we're learning, as each day goes by, also, I don't know, one of their cousins, you know, learning leering centers or their home care scam racket operation, as we're just learning today, I think over like $100 billion being spent.0.75
00:11:33.460So I guess refugees from some country in some war can hang out with their relatives at home and your tax dollars can subsidize that.
00:11:44.140But now we're going to pile on to all the things you have to subsidize.1.00
00:11:47.120It's not just that you got to watch your kid's job or place in college get taken by some ungrateful immigrant legal or illegal.0.99
00:11:54.500But now they're also going to get to vote.1.00
00:12:01.800I mean, what was it? This is only happening during the messaging on the SAVE Act.
00:12:05.480I was told we were crazy because we said illegal aliens want to vote or try to vote.
00:12:10.940And that's why we can't have something as simple as an act saying, well, no, foreigners, illegal aliens, you can't vote in American elections.0.72
00:12:19.140Well, these people will probably write in the dictators of the crappy third world countries that they're fleeing if they could.0.92
00:12:26.700I don't know if they speak English enough to understand how the ballots work.
00:12:30.640But the issue with this, too, is that, you know, DHS under the newfound leadership of Mark Wayne Mullen, who I think can only be described as milk toast, their social media account doesn't give me much courage that they're doing anything to change this.
00:12:49.920I want to read it. You guys can put it up if you have it. But under Trump and Secretary Mullen, criminal legal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.
00:12:58.640This week, the nice men and women of ICE put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, pedophiles, arsonists, and sex criminals, including.
00:13:04.660And then they go on to show a thread of some criminals.
00:13:08.380The issue is that I want so many people being deported that you can't even put out a tweet thread where you can show their individual faces or pictures of them because you'd be putting out thousands a day.
00:13:19.880And I also don't want deportations, A, to be limited to just a couple hundred thousand people a year.
00:13:25.440It's giving Biden and it's giving Obama. But more importantly, I don't want to just deport the worst of the worst.
00:13:35.260We can't even get illegal aliens who are destroying the fabric of this country out of here.1.00
00:13:40.140Meanwhile, Democrats amidst a messaging cycle where they're trying to convince us that illegal aliens do not vote,0.90
00:13:46.300which is why we can't have something as simple as the Save America Act,
00:13:49.420are out there trying to legalize and codify more illegal aliens for being allowed to vote0.51
00:13:55.500and their flimsy logic is because they pay taxes that's how much they hate you because they pay0.55
00:14:05.120taxes well they don't tell you about all the free services and the social security scams that0.76
00:14:09.160they're in yeah i'm so glad the like somalian dude is paying you know whatever percent in taxes off0.86
00:14:14.640of the millions of dollars that he's receiving from the federal government.1.00
00:14:20.060I don't really think that's a sustainable business model or economic growth or really
00:14:25.140the social contract that any of us signed up for here.
00:14:28.580We're going to dig in more to the latest fraud.
00:14:32.980Maybe I'll read some names of the alleged health care and home care workers that are
00:14:37.800receiving millions of dollars to hang out with their relatives at home.
00:14:42.560But we're only going after the criminals.
00:14:44.200Well, I would broaden the definition of what it means to be a criminal.
00:14:48.040And we'll get into that right after this short break.
00:15:00.160Everyone's focus on how the conflict in the Middle East is raising oil prices.
00:15:03.660But there's another grim reality to this contention.
00:15:08.340Oil isn't the only resource being constrained.
00:15:10.560about one third of global fertilizer trade happens through this region. And with spring
00:15:16.280planting season on top of us, American farmers are sounding the alarm with some saying they can't
00:15:21.660afford to plant their fields. When one piece of the supply chain gets hit this hard, you know what
00:15:27.240comes next. Higher fruit prices, reduced availability, maybe even panic buying. That's
00:15:33.120why having an emergency food supply at home makes so much sense. And that's where our friends at

00:17:21.560the birch gold reeds, but then I was put in the doghouse. Now I have to read the ads from the
00:17:26.800script. It's all good. But picking up where we left off, there's some very interesting, we'll call
00:17:32.540mask off moments from the New York Times. I wonder if you guys can put the first picture up.
00:17:41.160I'm going to read this. I'm going to struggle a bit with the pronunciation, but that's okay.
00:17:46.620Wafa Alhaj Ali, her husband and six children are among them. Since fleeing Syria as refugees in
00:17:56.120august 2023 the family had received about 850 a month in benefits now with no food assistance at
00:18:03.100all miss ali said in arabic buried lead i have to beg charities for bread if i could go back to
00:18:10.620syria i would because it's getting too much she said how am i going to feed my kids get a job
00:18:18.260tell your husband to get a job stop i don't know taking the american taxpayer for granted and
00:18:24.300thinking that we're here not just to bring you in from your war-torn country, but also give you the
00:18:28.060life that most people can barely afford to give their own children and grandchildren?
00:18:32.680I mean, where do these people get off? I mean, I know the cultures they come from are different0.99
00:18:36.960than ours, but the sense of entitlement, I mean, let's add to it. And by the way,
00:18:43.360this article was supposed to be an attack on the Trump administration for reforming
00:18:47.040snap benefits uh i'm very okay taking this syrian refugee who would rather live in syria than the
00:18:54.480united states perhaps we could make that a done deal for her uh fine by me but the next one's
00:19:01.560even more ridiculous it's not really even a freudian slip because i don't even think they
00:19:06.160have the tacit admission that what they're saying or recognition rather that what they're saying is0.60
00:19:10.320actually absurd this is quote this is in an article about the uh you know crazy radicalism
00:19:16.220of deporting illegal aliens it only i don't know one the you know largest i think uh popular vote
00:19:23.900in in recent history uh but other than that the new york times begs to differ quote children of
00:19:29.700republican parents have intimidated our kids miss valencia said in spanish interesting theme there
00:19:36.840quote they showed up to school with and i'll give you a second to guess how this sentence ends
00:19:42.780american flags if american flags are such an intimidation tactic and tool that you think
00:19:51.700is going to be used to i don't know make you scared to live in this country then yeah you
00:19:55.400probably should get out and honestly i'm not super into the rebrand of ice becoming nice because i
00:20:02.100don't think these people are nice i don't think these people are treating this country or its
00:20:06.080citizens or its taxpayers in a very nice way i don't think they're treating the legacy or the
00:20:10.160founding of this country in a very nice way. And frankly, I don't think they're treating the legal
00:20:13.960immigrants who came here the right way and worked really hard the right way either.0.90
00:20:20.180So I'm OK if ISIS is a little bit meaner. And like I was saying, we have new reporting
00:20:26.140coming from The Daily Wire. Luke Rossiak, who does great work, has been, I think, in and around
00:20:32.200Ohio, showing nearly a billion dollars a year being spent on what is nebulously described
00:20:39.180as home health care. But when you follow the money, which they always like to play the shell
00:20:46.460game where they make it hard so you can't really understand or trace the money, but this was
00:20:51.560available, I think, either through Doge data or FOIA information, found that a lot of it,
00:20:58.680like I was saying to the tune of billions of dollars, was going to maybe not the Somalian
00:21:03.080community, but some other version of an ethnic diaspora. For example, we'll make some people
00:21:08.220famous here in the war room uh aau home health care silo mansare is getting 12 million dollars0.92
00:21:15.580in medicaid for services that we don't know uh this is a good one liban mohammed for la home
00:21:22.440health care 8.2 million midwest home health care run by mohammed hussein 8.2 million union first
00:21:29.420care inc by abdul sese 5.8 million and abdallah kitwara for vision one spelled wrong inc 5.5
00:21:36.300million dollars in medicaid with the scam being that they literally can just say one of their
00:21:41.240relatives is sick and they are providing home care to them and the government will reimburse them
00:21:45.860i think this is quite emblematic of the deeper problem that we have in america and immigration
00:21:53.680is first and foremost responsible for it which is this country is becoming a low trust society
00:22:00.020and i think that the best way you can sum this up birds of a different feather but they
00:22:05.740certainly do flock together, was a line in the manifesto of the White House Correspondents
00:22:11.720dinner shooter, allegedly, Cole Allen, when he said, quote, I walk in with multiple weapons and
00:22:18.840not a single person there considers the possibility that I could be a threat. Now, we're going to get
00:22:25.240to Sam Battis in a sec. Otherwise, if we didn't have any guests, I'd play the clip of President
00:22:29.840Trump reading the snake poem. Maybe they should do daily recitations of that at ICE headquarters.
00:22:35.740But there's something, I think, quite symbolic of that. Right. People who want to do harm to this country, whether by trying to assassinate the president, come here, migrate here because, oh, they love America during the refugee admission process.
00:22:48.720But then all of a sudden they want to go back to their country of origin because they're not getting enough free stuff.0.69
00:22:53.680it's exploiting the system it's exploiting the goodness the trusting nature of the American
00:23:01.980heart of civic society of your community for selfish gain and very distorted versions perverted
00:23:09.180versions of what selfish gain may be and I don't know about you but I'm pretty sick of it I would
00:23:14.740like to go a day without hearing about a new fraudulent scam that one of my tax dollars has
00:23:19.580been sent to. We already got the Ukraine war. Anyways, that's enough of Natalie ranting for
00:23:27.440the day. I want to bring on Sam Faddis, who is going to break down the other news of the day,
00:23:33.280maybe not so much in the foreign scam, although probably a little bit lane, but that is everything
00:23:37.740that's going on in Iran, the Straits of Hormuz, everything. Can you sort of just give us, you have
00:23:44.180some great reporting up on Substack, some great analysis. I always ask you to start your sort of
00:23:49.120bird's eye view of where we stand now, what you think the administration is doing to sort of
00:23:54.400shepherd the course of everything going on there? Right. Well, look, I think the key thing that we
00:24:04.980have done recently is shift our strategy by blockading the Straits of Hormuz, which I think0.82
00:24:12.840is, was a brilliant step, a major step in the right direction because this war ultimately is
00:24:20.660becoming, has been from the beginning really about leverage over the world economy. So that was a
00:24:28.420great move. There's a lot of folks who believe that that is going to force the Iranians to the1.00
00:24:35.900table. They will effectively surrender. They will admit they've lost this war. I've been very0.97
00:24:42.360skeptical about that all along i don't i think we're going to have to apply a lot more pressure
00:24:50.040so where are we right now you know we're coming to the end i guess we're coming to the end of
00:24:53.960the ceasefire although there's verbiage about that that kind of fuzzes the issue periodically
00:25:00.440uh the iranians have started shooting at the uae the united arab emirates again they have
00:25:08.520attacked vessels in the Persian Gulf. Again, we sank a bunch of small boats that they're now using
00:25:15.800to attack. So things are heating up. The Iranians apparently delivered to us via the Pakistanis
00:25:26.520a couple of days ago now their latest, what's supposed to be a 14-point plan for how to end
00:25:34.840this conflict the exact text of that i have not seen publicly but a number of sources including
00:25:42.120iranian state media have told us the big picture the big things that are that are in it and it
00:25:48.840amounts in my opinion to another surrender document meaning they want us to surrender
00:25:55.000doesn't say anything at all about the nuclear program doesn't promise to do anything in that
00:25:59.480regard tells us we have to pull all up not only stop shooting at them we have to promise never0.91
00:26:04.920to shoot at them again we have to pull all of our military out of the entire middle east from0.79
00:26:09.720anywhere near them we have to pay reparations to them not just for the damage that we caused bombing0.83
00:26:16.920but for all the damage we ever caused by sanctions what am i forgetting uh we got to give them back
00:26:24.920all of their money that's being held in bank accounts around the world we have to lift all
00:26:30.440sanctions of any kind against them so they can buy anything they want i mean it really is0.95
00:26:38.040it is asking us to capitulate completely and surrender and leave the middle east so
00:26:47.160that's clearly a non-starter and i think you can infer from that that a country that's delivering
00:26:53.320those kinds of terms is not really on the verge of of surrendering and the bottom line is they

00:29:48.600Why they started getting aggressive again in the strait?
00:29:53.580Well, I think this has come off the back of President Trump's plan to escort some of these vessels using U.S. Navy vessels out of the straits of Hormuz to some form of safety.
00:30:04.760I think also the fact that the U.S. blockade very much remains in the straits of Hormuz.
00:30:09.760And I think what Iran feel is that by the U.S. carrying out the blockade and carrying out these escorts is a break of the ceasefire in itself.
00:30:19.960And so what they believe is that, well, if the U.S. has broken the ceasefire in that sense, then we will target the UAE.
00:30:26.960But specifically targeting UAE vessels and then UAE territory is a big step by the Iranians.0.56
00:30:34.060And it will not be taken lightly, not least by the UAE, but of course, the U.S. and Israel as well, specifically on the talks and why it seems to be a breakdown.0.57
00:30:43.400Look, I think there's two sides to this. Yes, it was positive that these discussions were taking place and that Iran had put forward a 14 point proposal and that the U.S. responded and Iran are reviewing that response.
00:30:54.820But those 14 points were pretty unrealistic. And I think the president would see them as totally unacceptable.
00:31:02.260And also, if Iran is not talking about its nuclear program within a framework to have negotiations,
00:31:08.680then the U.S. will feel that there's no point, essentially, to have those discussions.
00:31:13.160So it was probably Iran going to the president, well, look, you need a deal more than we do.
00:31:18.220We're not going to capitulate to any of your demands.
00:31:20.840So the ball is in your court, and here's the price that you have to pay.
00:31:24.340Here's our deal and our demands that you must follow in order to get to the negotiation table.
00:31:31.720Iran probably wasn't entirely serious about actually having direct discussions once again.
00:31:37.260And a senior diplomat over the weekend inside Tehran was telling me all along that regional hostilities will likely flare up once again.
00:31:44.920Iran have been preparing for a U.S. and Israeli attack inside of Tehran and other parts of the country as well.
00:31:52.280So I think all along we knew potentially that this conflict would reignite.
00:31:56.920I just don't think we expected that Iran to go on the offensive today and specifically target vessels in the Straits of Hormuz, but also target territory within the UAE once again.
00:33:41.120We are still joined by Sam Faddis to break all of that down for us.
00:33:44.680Sam, I want your thoughts, your reaction, but also to the broader point.
00:33:49.380You know, a lot of accusations against the U.S. media this morning saying that Iran had hit a ship, even some people saying the discussion of mines in the strait is kind of overblown or fear mongering.
00:34:00.780I'm not pretending to know what the reality on the ground is there.
00:34:03.680I don't think any of us do. But given your kind of expertise, what do you see the information warfare landscape shaping up to be?
00:34:13.320Yeah, I think I think it's kind of unprecedented, which I think is where you're going with that.
00:34:19.000I mean, it's not it. It is it is being done on a scale and with an audacity that is certainly
00:34:28.140unprecedented. I mean, completely fictitious stories, complete with video and all sorts of
00:34:34.800claimed firsthand accounts are put out. And it turns out it's complete nonsense. And some of
00:34:41.760that is just people that think this is cute. And some of those people that just think they're
00:34:46.860to get clicks from this but a lot of it is being done by the iranians and and by other hostile
00:34:53.740actors i mean earlier there was reverberating around the internet earlier today was yet another
00:34:59.980story that one of our aircraft carriers had been struck complete with video of smoke pouring out
00:35:06.380of a warship and all this and of course you know the video is of a derelict u.s vessel that we
00:35:14.940actually shot and sank ourselves in a live fire exercise like a decade ago in the pacific a ship
00:35:23.660that was decommissioned and used in an exercise as a target to give people experience with actually
00:35:30.940sinking a real vessel so that video then gets resurfaced a decade later and repurposed and put
00:35:37.980out here so uh it's very aggressive and unfortunately a lot of people are falling for
00:35:43.500I mean, people, you know how it is on the internet, people see that and my God, I have to retweet that and push that out so I look like I'm on top of things and you don't take any time whatsoever to figure out whether there's any truth to that.
00:36:01.420At the same time, there are other things that are happening that are just completely buried and ignored. It's become a huge issue.
00:36:13.500I'm curious to get your thoughts, too, obviously, on the China angle of all this.
00:36:17.840But to that point of things that haven't been, I think, deservedly or just justifiably covered enough.
00:36:25.240The latest going on, of course, with, you know, the Taiwanese visit to Eswatini, seeing the airspace over three African countries essentially be shut.
00:36:35.700It seemed like Europe also kowtowed to the CCP's demands.
00:36:40.080I'm not exactly sure how the fierce and fighting president there is going to get back.
00:36:46.400I saw some Bloomberg reporting about that this morning.
00:36:49.340But, you know, the symbolism there, too, I think, as we're talking about the free navigation of waterways, obviously everything going on in the Strait of Hormuz.
00:36:57.760But also now, you know, I thought China is supposedly weakened by all of this and intimidated.
00:37:02.540That seems pretty escalatory to make such demands, talking about the closure of airspace, obviously, in a country where they own a lot of a lot of debt, a lot of infrastructure, a lot of ports basically have those countries by the you know what.
00:37:18.800But your sort of thought on the China angle to all this.
00:37:33.440I mean, you know, a few weeks ago now, we had a U.S. Navy destroyer after the blockade was put in effect and, you know, ended up opening fire on a container ship trying to run through the blockade into Iran, okay, and disabled it.
00:38:20.020They ran a whole bunch of other such vessels
00:38:24.600loaded with material to help the Iranians
00:38:27.580and their war effort into Iran before we imposed the blockade.
00:38:33.180So the Iranians are shooting at us, trying to kill our people,0.93
00:38:36.860and they're using missiles that the Chinese are fueling.0.93
00:38:40.540And the Chinese are providing all sorts of other stuff to them too,
00:38:43.780all the electronics for the drones, et cetera.0.98
00:38:46.580So the Chinese are deliberately assisting the Iranians0.93
00:38:50.680in attempting to kill American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines.0.87
00:38:56.220And now that we've imposed the blockade, all of a sudden Pakistan, working as a shill for the Chinese, has opened up six separate land routes from Pakistan into Iran.0.88
00:39:09.200And what they're doing, containers are coming from China, they're putting into a port in Pakistan, they're being loaded on trucks, and they're being driven into Iran.0.92
00:39:20.260In other words, this is the Chinese continuing to do precisely what they were doing before.0.87
00:39:25.780They're just doing it over land now.0.92
00:39:28.820Again, helping the Iranians kill people in the middle of a war with the United States.0.95
00:39:36.720I don't know how much more belligerent you can get.0.95
00:39:39.320They're also providing targeting data.
00:39:41.440Their drones are much more capable now because the Chinese give them the information they need for precise targeting.
00:39:49.600I don't think that's the kind of thing you ignore, honestly.
00:39:53.400I mean, I don't think the president ought to go to China while this is going on.
00:39:57.800And frankly, any Chinese entity that comes within 10 miles of this activity ought to be sanctioned.
00:40:03.500And I don't mean like customs duties.0.97
00:40:05.860I mean, like you don't do any business with the United States and you don't touch our banking system.
00:48:39.560And, of course, just in terms of gift ideas, I know there are a lot of mothers out there from the Woolroom Posse that have been loving the moisturizer.
00:48:46.060I even gave my mom one a while back, and she loves it as well.
00:48:49.660But, of course, for anyone that doesn't know, the tallow moisturizer is made with the two ingredients, which is the 100% American grass-fed and finished beef tallow.
00:48:57.540and then we pair it with the raw manuka honey from new zealand and then with that there's no
00:49:01.580synthetic ingredients or any additives within it but the towel is just really amazing because it
00:49:06.440is almost identical to the natural oils that your skin produces so it allows it to absorb much more
00:49:11.220deeply as opposed to just sitting on top of your skin which is the case with a lot of other skin
00:49:16.840moisturizers out there but then to take a step further it does have the natural vitamins within
00:49:21.220it so you'll get things like vitamin a d e as well as k which your skin does need to stay healthy
00:49:26.860and radiant. And, you know, definitely, I know the mothers love it, but it's intended for men as
00:49:32.240well. I use it every day. But it's just perfect for things like dry skin, eczema, any skin
00:49:37.380irritation, as well as daily hydration. So you can use it on your face, you can put it on your
00:49:42.640neck, anywhere on your body that might need a little bit of relief. And I always like to just
00:49:48.700mention, you know, if you want to compare it to other skin moisturizers on the market,
00:49:52.160the common issue with those, unfortunately, is that they're usually just filled with a lot of
00:49:55.520fragrances and alcohols and other cheap fillers that can damage your skin barrier over time so
00:50:00.400it's essentially why we created the product in the first place but within it you know our formula is
00:50:05.080just clean and simple doesn't contain any preservatives or anything synthetic within it
00:50:09.240and it rubs on really nicely trevor one more time if people want to get the product check out your
