you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program okay can we play the audio of katie porter
00:03:18.660
katie porter um she's a democrat um representative from california uh who ran for senate and lost and
00:03:27.500
now she's running for governor yesterday about this time she was the front runner today she's not
00:03:35.760
um i just want to play a clip of the interview she did yesterday what do you say to the 40 percent
00:03:46.000
of california voters who you'll need in order to win who voted for trump how would i need them in order
00:03:50.660
to win man well unless you think you're going to get 60 percent of the vote you think you'll get 60
00:03:56.300
all everybody who did not vote for trump will vote for you that's what you're in a general election
00:04:01.020
yes if it is me versus a republican i think that i will win the people who did not vote for trump
00:04:06.880
what if it's you versus another democrat i don't intend that to be the case so how do you not intend
00:04:12.380
that to be the case do you do you are you going to ask them not to run no no i'm saying i'm going to
00:04:16.620
build the support i have the support already in terms of name recognition and so i'm going to do the
00:04:20.940
very best i can to make sure that we get through this primary in a really strong position but let me be
00:04:25.060
clear with you i represented orange county i represented a purple area i have stood on my
00:04:30.080
own two feet and one republican votes before that's not something every candidate in this race can say
00:04:34.800
if you're from a deep blue area if you're from la or you're from oakland you haven't you don't have
00:04:39.820
an experience you just said you don't need those trump voters well you asked me if i needed them to win
00:04:43.640
so you don't think this is unnecessarily argumentative what is your question the the question is the same
00:04:49.780
thing i asked everybody that this is being called the empowering voters to stop trump's power grab
00:04:55.980
every other candidate has answered this question this is not correct and i said i support it so
00:05:00.720
and the question is what do you say to the 40 percent of voters who voted for trump oh i'm happy
00:05:06.100
to say that it's the do you need them to win part that i don't understand i'm happy to answer the
00:05:10.420
question as you have it written and i'll answer it and we've also asked the other candidates do you
00:05:14.520
think you need any of those 40 percent of california voters to win and you're saying no you don't no i'm
00:05:19.440
saying i'm going to try to win every vote i can and what i'm saying to you is that well to those
00:05:25.340
voters okay so so you i don't want to keep doing this i'm going to call it thank you she gets up and
00:05:31.280
walks you're not gonna do the interview with us nope not like this i'm not not with seven follow-ups
00:05:35.500
to every single question you ask oh god every other candidate has i don't care i don't care i want to
00:05:41.160
have a pleasant positive conversation which you ask me about every issue on this list and if every
00:05:46.360
question you're going to make up a follow-up question then we're never going to get there
00:05:49.880
and we're just going to circle around i am an investigative reporter i've never had to do this
00:05:54.360
before ever you've never had to have a conversation to end in order okay but every other candidate has
00:06:01.420
done this i what part of i'm me i'm running for governor because i'm a leader so i am going to make
00:06:08.320
so you're not going to answer questions from reporters okay why don't we go through i will
00:06:12.620
continue to ask follow-up questions because that's my job as a journalist but i will go through and ask
00:06:17.020
these and if you don't want to answer you don't want to answer so nearly every legislative i am i
00:06:22.660
don't want to have an unhappy experience with you and i don't want this all on camera i don't want to
00:06:27.400
have an unhappy experience with you either i would love to continue to ask these questions so that we
00:06:31.380
can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues that they care about
00:06:36.520
and redistricting it's a massive issue we're going to do an entire story just on the responses to that
00:06:41.920
question and i've asked everybody the same follow-up question didn't go well wow didn't go well
00:06:50.540
somebody who is she kind of even says it she's never had to deal with follow-up questions before
00:06:57.140
no what what an amazing we sometimes don't appreciate what what a great life it must be on the left
00:07:03.380
oh you just thought about that a lot oh my god you never have to deal with anything no one ever
00:07:09.160
asks you a follow-up no one ever pushes you on anything you just say whatever you want and
00:07:14.620
everyone just walks away as if it was the greatest thing of all time that must be so much fun
00:07:18.620
i mean i mean you know you'd be so intellectually weak oh so i mean you see it there she asked one
00:07:25.300
minor follow-up question that isn't adversary at all and she pulls the plug on the interview i'm not
00:07:31.440
gonna do this i don't want all this on camera well there's a lot that i haven't wanted on camera
00:07:37.860
it didn't stop anybody else all right that's when they get most excited yeah oh i know i know i know
00:07:43.200
that's so bizarre i wasn't she didn't the reporter wasn't even going at her hard it was like hey what
00:07:50.460
do you mean you don't need i mean it's a such a what a layup of a question glenn you know no no
00:07:56.500
offense but it's like do you need the 40 uh of of people to trump voters to win you say well i you
00:08:02.700
know i want to get as many of them as i can and i of course i want to get as many voters i can but
00:08:07.000
i'm going to stand on my principle blah blah blah blah like any any competent politician that's not
00:08:12.500
even a follow-up question it's like do you want more voters that's the hard question she walked out
00:08:17.960
of an interview for but here's i mean remember who she is remember who she is okay um must we
00:08:24.680
well i mean i think we've just proven everything that they said wasn't true um according to uh people
00:08:33.420
who had worked in her office uh she has made several multiple staffers cry people are generally so
00:08:39.620
anxious uh to even uh to even staff her because if anything goes wrong she flips out on whatever
00:08:46.300
staffer is present she just talks to staffers however she wants one criticism of porter has been
00:08:51.960
that she allegedly is a terrible person according to some accounts abusive and racist uh in december
00:08:59.040
text messages surfaced in which porter scolded a staffer for giving the congresswoman covid one
00:09:05.480
message said she was rage prone and had a tendency to disparage staffers others suggested her expectations
00:09:10.720
were wildly unrealistic one message accused her of making racist comments those are from her staffer
00:09:15.980
and remember those are from 2022 i mean we've seen this and they just buried all of that uh and now
00:09:22.740
you're starting to see it you know when you force people into uncomfortable situations you generally see
00:09:28.980
who they really are um and that wasn't really an uncomfortable that was a normal uh situation for
00:09:36.900
anybody who's right you can't handle that sweetheart you can't handle anything but imagine you're in
00:09:42.280
california she was the front runner yesterday that's who everybody's like yeah i'll probably vote for
00:09:49.040
her yeah yesterday looking at cal she went on the prediction markets and she was at a sick a 40 chance
00:09:56.000
to win which was double anybody else in the race uh and uh today she's now a slight underdog in the race
00:10:03.160
from that interview it was that bad now we don't know how the electorate actually responds to it
00:10:08.940
it'll take some time for polling we don't know how much it actually people actually will see it
00:10:12.620
right you know it could run and then go away a lot of conservatives are going to see that today
00:10:17.100
because conservatives are going to play it like crazy will people who might actually vote for her
00:10:21.740
see it is a totally different question how do we you know we watch nbc cnn we have msnbc on us
00:10:29.700
in front of us all the time um we listen to npr we listen to uh you know the new york times we read
00:10:37.140
the new york times maybe it's time to appreciate us a little bit more just saying we do that for
00:10:40.980
you every day yeah just so you know yeah we do it so you don't have to however we we bring those
00:10:46.880
things up all the time on the air we know where the other side stands they have there are stories
00:10:53.660
that just don't hit that side yeah they have no idea even and they don't listen to anything else
00:11:02.060
and so there are stories like that that stupid story of uh the judge's house burning down
00:11:08.600
there are going to be people forever that believe that was a hate crime there is no evidence of
00:11:16.160
anything of even an arson of arson there's nothing that it was some conservative who did it it was a
00:11:22.560
house that burned down that's all we know now there's no they had to immediately jump to
00:11:28.900
it's a house of a judge that judge stopped donald trump harmeet dylan wrote a really
00:11:36.160
absolutely innocuous uh you know hey this judge just made this ruling we will fight that every
00:11:44.280
way we possibly can that can't stand they they took that and said harmeet dylan was targeting this judge
00:11:51.200
so somebody went on the right and burned that judge's house down none of that is there is no
00:11:59.060
evidence of any of that they don't even know what caused the fire yet and i'll bet you you're going
00:12:05.580
to find out that it wasn't arson it was just a normal fire it was 11 o'clock in the morning
00:12:10.260
it was just a normal fire the house burned down it was a tragedy glad that nobody was hurt well her
00:12:17.160
husband was hurt in it he had some broken bones and stuff as he tried to get out of the house
00:12:21.200
and we wish them the best but you're going to find i think and i'll correct it if we find differently
00:12:28.400
uh it wasn't any of those things but they have reported that now as fact how many people are going to
00:12:38.820
believe that forever i can guarantee you i've members of my own family who will bring that up to me
00:12:45.560
well you say violence is what about burning the judge's house down and i'll have to say that's not
00:12:52.380
true yes it is and they won't believe me because they heard it on nbc they heard it on cnn
00:12:57.780
they heard it in the washington post and so they just believe it there are no facts to back that none
00:13:05.280
now there may be in the future maybe in a couple of days let the process work but there's none
00:13:12.000
these journalists on the left are so unbelievably irresponsible and then because they have
00:13:20.780
zombified their entire base their base will not listen to the other side they there are stories i
00:13:29.680
guarantee you think about how many people are going to believe from here on out that charlie kirk was
00:13:35.500
either killed by a jew or somebody in his own uh camp or uh it it was a left winger it was a donald trump
00:13:43.260
maga killer because that's what they said and they're not listening to you they're not they're
00:13:49.300
not watching fox they're not getting their news they don't all news from major traditionally trusted
00:13:59.400
sources they watch all of that and they think they're getting a variety well i read the times
00:14:04.740
and the post oh new york post or washington post well not the new york post the washington post there's
00:14:11.540
no variety there no it's the same thing and this is this is how something like you can change your
00:14:18.020
gender with a series of magical words comes into effect because the it's how global warming is real
00:14:24.260
a liberal hears something like the gender stuff for example and they hear it the first time and
00:14:29.160
they just like you react the same way they they what what do you mean you can just become a girl what
00:14:36.040
are you talking about they in their minds react the same way the first time they hear that yes and then
00:14:41.820
they hear it 500 000 other times unchallenged and saying science is settled yep and they're like wow i
00:14:50.380
must have been wrong about that and even if they don't say if they have nothing to back it up
00:14:54.900
like in this burning down the house they just say it over and over and people go well they wouldn't
00:15:01.420
say that if it wasn't true right and i don't hear anybody else oh except for the crazy conservative so
00:15:08.040
who cares what they're saying so i mean this is why i would you know i have hope again there's a lot of
00:15:14.220
work to be done she's got a difficult job but like i have hope for the barry weiss situation at cbs
00:15:18.500
it would be great if there was just a an organization out of all the ones that exist
00:15:24.100
that just comes out and gives you fair uh you know balanced stuff now i know fox does that but
00:15:30.140
they're seen uh more as a conservative network obviously but their slogan for years was fair
00:15:35.400
and balanced and it was seen by the people who watched it and watched other networks as the most
00:15:40.360
balanced when we were there i remember that yeah i think it was 40 30 or 40 percent of the audience
00:15:46.000
was democrat was democrat yeah i mean so there's plenty of people who who uh who will actually
00:15:51.960
go and read and listen to other things uh but it's not particularly common and i i don't know what
00:15:58.880
might happen is if the uh the coverage by barry weiss over at cbs is quote unquote too fair they will
00:16:06.440
be gone be they'll just they'll just be seen as a right-wing network and be dismissed again that's how
00:16:10.860
they'll make them but and by the way congratulations i was so glad to see glad and everybody else you
00:16:16.740
know lgbtq come out and celebrate uh barry weiss getting that position smashing another glass ceiling
00:16:23.820
another glass ceiling it is amazing what can be done too much fanfare it really was overwhelmed it really
00:16:30.560
was i mean i'm like okay yes it's a first but i mean do we have to make that big of deal out of it
00:16:36.620
yeah or did you hear anything i didn't hear one word about one word of celebration no no one no one
00:16:45.300
came again this is a person uh who founded the free press with her wife it was just bought by a
00:16:56.100
major media organization for nine figures and she's now the editor-in-chief or the yeah is it
00:17:03.240
editor-in-chief of cbs news not a no flowery discussions about her sexual preference no her
00:17:11.660
sexual orientation and she's not even conservative no she's not she's not she's just fair she describes
00:17:18.540
herself as center left right and this is how desperate we are in the right we're like wait
00:17:23.660
someone who sent her left and actually it kind of means something with her like she will actually
00:17:28.840
say because sometimes conservatives are right on stuff uh that is we're like fine we're we're not
00:17:33.900
even asking look at look at how desperate we are but look at the other side how authoritarian they are
00:17:40.340
on the other side you can't even say occasionally they get it right no nope never never and we're the
00:17:47.260
authoritarians let me tell you about uh real estate agents i trust if you ever had to do it before you
00:17:54.540
know that buying or selling a home is not a single transaction it's a thousand different decisions that
00:17:58.780
all need to go right and sometimes it feels like you're navigating a house of mirrors everything
00:18:03.300
looks good until you take that step and realize you're walking into a wall that's why you need
00:18:08.420
more than just a realtor you need a guide a serious expert somebody who knows where all the dead ends are
00:18:14.060
where the pitfalls hide and how do you get through to the other end without losing your shirt real
00:18:19.920
estate agents i trust is not a website full of random names it's a network of vetted experienced
00:18:25.320
professionals who share your values and actually earn their title i know because this is my company
00:18:31.180
buying or selling a home is a very big deal we treat it like one you should treat it like one
00:18:36.800
go with real estate agents i trust and stop guessing you interview them yourself we just want to we just
00:18:42.180
want to introduce you if you don't like them don't use them doesn't cost you anything but talk to them
00:18:47.800
they're some of the best in the country it's realestateagentsitrust.com realestateagentsitrust.com
00:18:54.860
now back to the podcast you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program jack carr is in with us
00:19:01.600
now jack it's always good to see it is so great to see you thank you so much for having me and it is
00:19:05.740
so amazing to watch you work in the studio i've been in a lot of studios over the last few years
00:19:09.740
and none are as as clean and efficient as what you have going on here it's absolutely amazing to
00:19:15.980
watch you work someone at the top of their game do this it's it's just remarkable are you gonna ask
00:19:21.620
me for money maybe a blurb it's uh it's good to have you here because you don't know best-selling
00:19:27.280
author uh and executive producer of the terminal list uh series of books and uh and is it that's
00:19:34.340
netflix it's uh amazon prime amazon prime video and just finished the uh the next season of the show
00:19:39.460
which is true believer based on my second book finished filming that in morocco about two weeks ago so
00:19:43.920
pretty fresh from finishing that up jumping on a plane meeting my wife in paris for a few days and
00:19:48.060
then heading out here to see you so it's been go go go yeah um so tell me about the new book came out
00:19:53.400
yesterday and you set it in vietnam which vietnam 1968 is a real break right it's a break for my main
00:20:01.280
protagonist james reese who is the uh protagonist of my contemporary thriller series so there are seven
00:20:06.980
of those ends with uh red sky morning last year there was just a nice arc to those first seven books
00:20:12.660
and i kind of at the very beginning i was very deliberate in wanting to create other characters
00:20:17.680
within the universe that would be interesting enough to have books in their own right and i
00:20:21.460
wanted to have multi-generational characters also so james reese his dad and grandfather and then
00:20:26.040
this other lineage the hastings family of the hastings and his father and grandfather so this
00:20:31.940
is the first exploration little empire so a universe out here yeah right and uh i talked about the dad in
00:20:38.000
uh in most of the books but most uh most in depth in only the dead so in book number six and it just
00:20:44.920
made sense to go back to 1968 vietnam explore his origin story as a seal attached to mac v sog going
00:20:51.220
across the border what is mac so it's a very innocuous sounding name so uh military assistance
00:20:56.440
command vietnam studies and observations group so the sog part is the important part and it was meant kind
00:21:02.120
of to be innocuous so that uh the they wouldn't be readily apparent that these guys were going across
00:21:07.900
the border into denied areas in laos cambodia north vietnam where they weren't supposed to be operating
00:21:12.200
where americans were not supposed to be operating so they're they were there to do disruption
00:21:15.880
operations along the ho chi man trail primarily calling airstrikes blow up uh weapons caches and that
00:21:21.500
sort of thing um so that's the baseline for it but i really wanted to do was set an espionage story
00:21:27.380
in southeast asia in 1968 which was the bloodiest year of the war for the united states and no one
00:21:32.980
had really done that in a long time so that was uh the quiet american by graham green 1955 uh the
00:21:38.820
tears of autumn that's charles mccary 1974 and john le caray the honorable school boy 1977 and i'm not
00:21:45.420
aware of anyone else doing this since those guys so it's been a couple moons and i decided that's what
00:21:50.440
i want to do espionage story saigon heart of vietnam southeast asia and the bloodiest year for our
00:21:56.880
country so when you got into this how much it was any of it because there's so much that is parallel
00:22:04.160
that is happening now i mean the society is reflecting all the way to assassinations what
00:22:11.880
was happening at that time did that play a role in this at all it well it just by default and uh but
00:22:18.340
mostly it was because the father's war was vietnam there happened to be parallels between what we did in
00:22:24.060
iraq and afghanistan and vietnam we didn't really listen to those learn those lessons and apply them
00:22:29.060
in uh in a present day as wisdom and we tend to do that over and over and over again we're really
00:22:34.640
stupid as a species specifically when it relates to afghanistan we had the soviet experience uh from
00:22:39.360
79 to 89 that we could have looked at and uh and we took we took any lessons we took the wrong ones
00:22:44.560
unfortunately so what did you because you're younger than me but we're not not by too much
00:22:50.840
okay it's made too many years so um uh we both grew up we saw vietnam so we saw the wreckage
00:22:57.560
of vietnam you know i i know vietnam soldiers and i i mean it's really what molded me on my support for
00:23:04.680
the military if we decide to go to war then we go to war to fight it and finish it and bring them home
00:23:11.720
and then take care of the men that served over there yeah and we're not doing it again yeah another
00:23:18.440
lesson we don't ever seem to learn um what did you learn about vietnam that maybe did it change
00:23:25.100
anything any viewpoint or anything it did a little bit in that i thought i knew a lot about vietnam at
00:23:30.220
the outset i thought i had studied this conflict the 60s also my parents were essentially children
00:23:34.500
of the 60s right uh so i grew up with that in that in my in my household i was influenced by popular
00:23:39.640
culture the movies of the 70s and the 80s and the 90s that pertain to vietnam and the 60s in general
00:23:44.300
so i thought i was starting from a fairly solid foundation i've studied warfare insurgencies
00:23:48.280
counterinsurgencies my entire life so then i started writing and i realized that i had really just
00:23:53.860
scratched the surface before so i wanted to also write this book through the lens of 1968 so without
00:23:59.420
50 plus years of hindsight applied to different characters that's why we're talking here in october
00:24:05.260
rather than june when the book was supposed to come out because it took so much longer to write
00:24:09.480
a book like that meaning every single character whether they're 25 years old 50 70 years old they
00:24:14.620
only have their life experience up to 1968 to lend to their perspective on an event on a conversation
00:24:20.200
a situation give me a scenario where you were like i can't write that you know i immersed myself back
00:24:26.700
into into that year so i a watch from 1968 right here i had seiko watches out there too those play
00:24:33.100
into the uh to it i had browning high powers from that era lying around i had car 15s lying around
00:24:39.280
it looked like i was about to invade north vietnam i had maps from from that era all over the place i
00:24:43.960
read dots uh you know on those maps books everywhere pamphlets old national geographics from the 50s and
00:24:48.880
60s about vietnam so it really did look like i was planning planning an invasion um but i mean i learned
00:24:54.880
so much more about vietnam but mostly it was that was perspective so i have a soviet perspective i have
00:25:01.340
a u.s perspective i have a vietnamese perspective i have a u.s perspective from washington and all of
00:25:06.780
those uh to give to show people as they read this thing that uh there are these different perspectives
00:25:12.920
on the war and all these different people are bringing their life experiences to this story to
00:25:17.240
really immerse people and take them back in time to 1960 and i just want to didn't want to say that
00:25:22.120
they're listening to credence clearwater revival and say it's 1968 and drop a contemporary thriller
00:25:26.200
into vietnam right i wanted to immerse myself in this year and it really became historical fiction
00:25:30.580
and uh and as such it took a lot more time energy and effort than i anticipated at the outset
00:25:35.720
um let me ask you about um some of the stuff that is going on uh now uh the department of war
00:25:44.460
how do you feel about department of war as opposed to department of defense yeah well i'm not saying
00:25:49.700
that they got this idea from me i'm just saying that i never heard anyone talk about it until uh
00:25:55.260
until i mentioned it after the afghanistan withdrawal right so uh i did an article for
00:25:59.680
for town hall and i talked about it on on different news programs when uh when the withdrawal was was
00:26:04.500
going south and uh precision and language reflects precision and thought as you know and the department
00:26:09.800
of defense means something different than the department of war just from a personal language
00:26:13.900
perspective uh defense is defense the department of war is the department of war so i made that case
00:26:19.020
in this uh in this uh article that i wrote back in 2021 and uh so now we're doing it i think it's
00:26:26.160
really smart it is smart but uh also if you read the um the the statement on it it's not permanent
00:26:34.220
so if you really go into the the verbiage in that it's very deliberate in there so another
00:26:39.160
administration coming in so now we're just calling it the department of war but i believe and someone
00:26:43.500
can correct me in the comments section here but i believe that it does take an act of congress to
00:26:48.000
officially change this forever going forward now they're calling it the department of war so if
00:26:52.800
you look at the language it's very specific you're calling it the department of war but it's not yet
00:26:56.400
really the department of war i have to tell you it is so we are in such a weird place to where
00:27:01.480
we swing so far one direction and then the next administration just swing all the way back you
00:27:09.080
can't run a country like that i mean you know we can't run a country like china either where they
00:27:14.620
have absolute control of everything but they can think you know 20 50 100 years in the future
00:27:21.140
that's how they become successful we have to think two years in the future um but we used to be
00:27:29.460
together on more stuff now you switch administration go to the other side and it's it's not the same
00:27:36.160
country no and it's certainly the phones that we carry around in our pockets are not helping
00:27:40.480
matters at all and all especially for this next generation my son's generation uh my son that you
00:27:45.020
met and uh in salt lake this last uh last year he's doing wonderful he wanted me to say hi to you
00:27:49.360
and i really appreciate you being so kind to him when you met but it's it's his generation really and
00:27:54.060
our daughter's a little bit older and like charlie kirk our son was coming up to me all the time and
00:27:59.460
showed me those videos my wife and i'd be sitting on the couch and he was at at 12 13 14 he showed me
00:28:04.340
these videos and he was just had this such this connection with uh with charlie kirk and that
00:28:08.600
message and that's the generation that was a tough one because he was away at school and uh i didn't
00:28:13.620
get to him in time but to tell him hey don't look at your your phone don't watch this video and so both
00:28:18.600
him and my daughter saw saw it my daughter was about 10 feet away oh i didn't know that yeah just
00:28:25.620
i'm so sorry horrible horrible and she's the most well second most sensitive child in the four
00:28:32.960
um but i mean it's happening to all of all of our kids because they they fell even if you didn't know
00:28:39.660
him they felt they knew him they did you know because he was so genuine and real yeah they really
00:28:45.860
did and uh and it wasn't like the jfk assassination where you're seeing something in the paper you're
00:28:51.420
hearing walter cronkite talk about it on the news we didn't get this approved or film for your
00:28:54.900
till years later yeah uh for us challenger watching that you didn't see people you saw an object
00:28:59.360
explode in the sky and you were devastated just by that uh and now you have someone you feel that
00:29:03.860
you thought of that that you know yeah get killed right in front of you and uh essentially in high
00:29:08.680
definition and uh just one so brutal and so so heartbreaking but it also has really you know
00:29:14.000
galvanized as it's changed a generation i think also and bringing a lot of people back to the church
00:29:19.740
uh us included uh that's amazing isn't it it really is incredible to see it's amazing to me i was
00:29:26.640
just talking to some friends you know it's so appropriate that christ was a carpenter um because
00:29:31.780
i have always thought of my life you know before i really turned over to him as just
00:29:37.940
it was building my house and uh i wanted to be a helpful guy you know i want to be involved in
00:29:45.540
building the house i should not be involved i have no skills and uh we had a pile of wood needed to be
00:29:51.140
cut and i was like you know what let me help i'm going to just cut this wood okay mr beck i'm so
00:29:56.620
i measure i measure twice i cut it and they take it and they take it back in the house and i keep
00:30:02.740
cutting and i run out of wood and uh i said well you have any more wood or anything and i said look
00:30:09.360
to me and said now it's your money so whatever you want to do we're all for but everything you've cut
00:30:17.240
we've had to recut or toss away and i was like you guys should have said something before i cut all of
00:30:22.960
the wood but anyway you're having such a good time right and with my life i feel like i cut all of
00:30:28.460
this wood and none of it was usable you know because i just destroyed my own life and none of it was
00:30:34.660
usable and then i turned myself over to god and i had all this crappy pile of wood and he took it and
00:30:42.040
made something beyond what i could have ever done and there was not even any sawdust there's no waste
00:30:50.880
with him and you're seeing it happen with charlie's death look at what has been born out of that i mean
00:31:00.240
i would never want that to happen and he didn't want it to happen but how he can take the very worst
00:31:06.800
things and make something glorious is amazing it's incredible to see that that impact and uh and i
00:31:13.800
guess that is what the one consolation is that the the impact that he has in in death is probably more
00:31:18.640
um more impactful generationally than what he had in life even and he had a huge one oh huge one in
00:31:24.260
life yeah this one lasts this one will last and last and last we're talking to jack carr best-selling

00:32:28.120
what by the way it's uh it's four thousand dollars an ounce uh that should be very concerning we'll talk
00:32:34.180
about that um i also want to talk to you about the hamas flags that were flying in new york city
00:32:41.840
yesterday not just the hamas flag um but also the palestinian islamic jihad that that flag actually
00:32:50.740
says glory to our martyrs so so mom donnie had another rally what's what's the what's the yeah i
00:32:56.620
what's the problem with that i know i know uh they are now uh they were talking yesterday about
00:33:03.880
the protester said they were acting from the belly of the beast remember we're the great satan
00:33:10.280
israel's a little satan this is islamic jihad and we now have americans engaging in standing up and
00:33:21.340
waving islamic jihad flags look at the size of this crowd in new york
00:33:26.220
i will never look at the palestinian flag again the same way after i've after seeing uh dinesh
00:33:37.720
d'Souza's his new movie uh about the uh what is it the the mystery of the dragon or something yeah
00:33:45.420
prophecy yeah the prophecy of the dragon and it comes from uh it comes from you know the book of
00:33:51.380
revelation and it's the white horse the red horse the black horse the green horse all the colors of
00:33:58.520
the palestinian flag uh and there are so many different things in the bible the bible actually
00:34:05.220
uses the word hamas look it up it's crazy it uses the word hamas as destruction and death
00:34:11.920
um and uh and gaza is all over in the bible too um but i i don't know but anyway so how do you feel
00:34:21.640
about the people on the streets if we were truly living in a dictatorship if we were living in a
00:34:30.420
country where we had a dictator who would just not allow anybody to say anything we wouldn't be talking
00:34:35.540
about jimmy kimmel we would be talking about the rounding up of people who are carrying islamic
00:34:41.920
islamic terrorist uh flags and shouting slogans for islamic uh jihad in our own country that's what
00:34:53.580
that's what a dictator would do he would stop that speech am i wrong i mean what's what's more dangerous
00:35:00.920
jimmy kimmel what's what's more un-american jimmy kimmel or islamic jihad
00:35:09.080
you're calling for the death of jews i mean that is so unbelievably un-american
00:35:17.420
but just like we did in the 1930s we you know we let the nazis walk in the streets uh you know in
00:35:26.560
the 1930s and they held a big rally in in madison square garden if you've never seen it it's it's the
00:35:33.920
american bund movement b-u-n-d it is frightening nazis were everywhere in especially in the german
00:35:42.320
communities of the northeast uh and they held rallies they you know imaged george washington
00:35:50.720
next to adolf hitler it was crazy stuff crazy well we learned we learned what nazis were and
00:35:58.600
those nazis went away this i hope this goes away um you know at least from the stupid people that
00:36:09.680
don't just don't know what they're doing oh i'm just marching you know because the palestinians are
00:36:14.200
you know oppressed can you do a little more thought put a little more thought into this at all who are
00:36:20.180
standing with the reason why i bring this up today is not only not only it was it uh what did they call
00:36:29.700
this yesterday the uh new york flood i can't remember um i can't remember exactly what they called it i
00:36:40.940
just saw it glory to our martyrs blah blah blah they had called to flood new york city that's what it was
00:36:49.160
this protest they said flood new york city well that is an exact reference to the operation al-axa flood
00:37:01.100
which is what that operation was on october 7th a flood they called it a flood again book of revelation
00:37:19.740
i personally like to be able to say okay do you know who you're standing with
00:37:26.280
do you know who's supporting you do you know who's funding all of this
00:37:29.920
and i like to make the case and i don't want to ever kick these people off of the streets
00:37:39.880
but i thought we lived in a dictatorship and we didn't have freedom of speech
00:37:48.080
let me show you something where we don't have freedom of speech
00:37:51.740
is counseling freedom of speech this is what was in front of the supreme court yesterday
00:37:58.320
it comes from colorado colorado has a ban on conversion therapy 2019 they passed a law
00:38:05.880
counselors cannot try to change a minor client's gender identity or sexual orientation
00:38:13.060
including behaviors or gender expressions i mean you want to talk about freedom of speech
00:38:26.760
okay can't can't try to change behaviors or gender expressions or sexual identity or orientation
00:38:39.660
the counselor can offer assistance to a person undergoing gender transition
00:38:45.620
so you can help them one direction you just can't help them the other direction
00:38:50.420
now kaylee chiles she is a licensed counselor in colorado she's in colorado springs god bless her heart
00:39:00.500
uh and she specializes in addiction trauma sexuality gender dysphoria and other mental health concerns
00:39:08.520
she's a christian and she serves clients who are seeking religiously informed care that aligns with
00:39:17.400
biblical teachings especially on sexuality and gender
00:39:31.400
and uh she would say you know this is what the bible says this is how you do it and she would help
00:39:45.140
all discussion with minors everything else she's abiding by the law
00:39:53.680
that's the court case that the supreme court heard yesterday
00:40:05.120
can i not counsel based on my religious dictates
00:40:18.640
let me tell you some things that i absolutely believe
00:40:42.680
and the family is central to the creator's plan
00:40:52.840
male and female are created in the image of god
