Transcript

00:00:00.000 This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.
00:00:05.400 Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.
00:00:11.360 All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks, and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.
00:00:18.780 And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.
00:00:25.160 Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.
00:00:30.000 Everything that we are saying goodbye to from this administration on Monday and the turning of the page.
00:00:38.480 What we should be thinking about this weekend and on Monday.
00:00:42.860 Also, an incredible movie that was turned down both by HBO and Netflix.
00:00:48.320 It's called Hot Shots, and it's all about the California wildfires made before this one.
00:00:54.100 And you'll understand, once you hear from Gabriel Kirkpatrick Mann, exactly why they turned that down and why you should watch it now.
00:01:03.300 And one of my favorite people in the world, Brad Meltzer, the JFK conspiracy.
00:01:08.860 He's just discovered there was a hit on JFK just before he became president.
00:01:15.020 And you've never heard of it.
00:01:17.800 Why?
00:01:18.380 Brad Meltzer joins me on today's podcast.
00:01:21.020 Burn a launcher.
00:01:21.800 I am a gun owner.
00:01:23.600 I believe in the Second Amendment.
00:01:25.380 I believe in being prepared for every situation.
00:01:27.700 But I also know that, according to law enforcement, 99% of all situations where force may be required doesn't require lethal force.
00:01:35.740 Do you know why Burn a launcher was first designed?
00:01:38.500 The guy who designed the Burn a launcher was in a road rage incident.
00:01:44.040 Some guy just was just raging against him.
00:01:47.980 And he pulls over to the side thinking that the guy would just pass him.
00:01:53.000 He didn't.
00:01:53.560 He gets out of his car.
00:01:54.600 The guy who designed Burn a launcher first went for his gun and said, no, I don't want to get into a gunfight.
00:01:59.940 Well, he was beaten to an inch of his life on the side of the road by this guy.
00:02:04.320 He never again.
00:02:05.760 Burn a B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn.
00:02:09.360 Burn a dot com slash Glenn.
00:02:11.580 Go there now.
00:02:22.800 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:27.900 Three days, Glenn.
00:02:30.140 Three days.
00:02:30.680 Three days.
00:02:32.220 The fundamental transformation of America.
00:02:35.140 Yeah.
00:02:35.340 No more of this guy.
00:02:36.780 No more of her.
00:02:37.720 No more of them.
00:02:39.220 You know, but I think it's a lot bigger than that.
00:02:41.380 I was thinking about this today when I was driving in that this administration exiting is not just another exit, you know, exit of a president.
00:02:52.000 It's not the same.
00:02:53.020 It wasn't like this in 2016, although we hoped it would be, but it is this time because the people and the feeling in the country, even among Democrats, is different now.
00:03:07.100 We're about to turn the page and enter a new app, a new era or a new chapter.
00:03:13.140 We're really standing on the end of the day.
00:03:16.560 Monday is a moment far larger than politics, but it's only the beginning.
00:03:21.820 It's not just the end of a presidency, not the changing of the guard.
00:03:26.760 It is truly the end of an era, an era marked by madness, by confusion, by division, distortion, a deafening cacophony of chaos.
00:03:38.720 All of that has drowned out reason and common sense, and it, you know, it didn't it didn't start yesterday as much as the left tried to make this all about words by twisting meaning, redefining words or using words in ways, quite honestly, to use their words and miss this or malinformation.
00:04:03.160 This era is not going to be remembered by the words, but by the actions of those who spoke the millions of those meaningless words.
00:04:14.540 We can see right now the destruction of our economy, our security.
00:04:20.700 We can see that in really, really clear terms in the homes and the hearths of California, that it is the actions of people that matter more than simple words by their by their fruits.
00:04:39.040 You shall know them.
00:04:41.080 The fruit of this tree is rotted and people now are beginning to see that.
00:04:47.720 Now, like I said, this didn't begin four years ago.
00:04:52.000 It turned it up to volume number 10.
00:04:57.100 But this has been brewing for decades.
00:04:59.980 It has been in our institutions far longer than any of us realize.
00:05:07.040 Metastasizing in our culture, our institutions and our hearts and hardening our hearts.
00:05:14.640 It is an era that we leave on Monday that put truth itself on trial.
00:05:23.180 Can you even define what truth is anymore?
00:05:27.680 We went into this place that was so absurd, we couldn't define something as fundamental and self-evident as,
00:05:38.320 can you tell me what a woman is?
00:05:40.680 Historians are going to look back on this last era that we're now leaving as pure madness.
00:05:48.440 But it's also a time when it took everything in people to question the powerful mob,
00:05:59.460 to speak the truth that you believe it was a risk that, at first, far too many people wouldn't do
00:06:08.520 because they were afraid of being shouted down, canceled, or much, much worse.
00:06:13.820 Common decency, the once unspoken bond that united us, was thrown out the window.
00:06:22.560 It became not only unfashionable, but absolutely unrecognizable.
00:06:28.040 And everybody was at each other's throats.
00:06:30.080 Common sense, our old friend, just dismissed.
00:06:33.520 Exiled, seemingly, to the fringes of our society as if it were dangerous now,
00:06:38.980 or just wildly outdated, and we know that.
00:06:41.880 We didn't know that yesterday, but we know that today.
00:06:45.360 And I mean literally yesterday.
00:06:47.480 How many words changed?
00:06:48.720 How many things, concepts, huge truths that we knew?
00:06:52.400 We would wake up one day and it was completely being dismissed.
00:06:57.940 And you'd be like, where did this come from?
00:07:00.120 We're leaving a time of breathtaking hypocrisy,
00:07:08.260 where those who deny corruption themselves take bribes from hostile nations,
00:07:13.880 where the righteous call for unity while sowing division.
00:07:18.660 This era, racism has been repackaged and sold back to us under the guise of anti-racism.
00:07:25.800 Hatred, we're told, is perfectly fine as long as it's aimed at the right people.
00:07:33.360 And those right people may be the wrong people tomorrow.
00:07:39.460 Faith in God has been replaced by faith in climate models, sexuality, identity.
00:07:46.440 In this last era that we're now getting ready to leave,
00:07:50.960 all of those religions had their own dogmas.
00:07:54.400 Their high priest, their rituals, and above all, their lack of forgiveness.
00:08:01.180 Meaning that they were anti-Christ teachings.
00:08:06.680 But somehow or another, many of our churches embrace them as the message of Christ.
00:08:12.300 There cannot be Christ in any message that doesn't include forgiveness.
00:08:18.740 But this isn't where the story ends.
00:08:20.640 Because we thought before this election, this might be where our story ends.
00:08:28.200 But here is the really unbelievable news.
00:08:33.260 God stepped in.
00:08:34.940 And if you don't recognize that, there is no hope for us.
00:08:38.220 God stepped in and did something none of us could do.
00:08:42.040 First of all, he saved the president's life twice.
00:08:46.220 And if you think that was a secret service, you're nuts.
00:08:50.300 God saved him twice.
00:08:53.240 God changed him.
00:08:56.740 And suddenly our society is waking up.
00:09:02.320 This guy, who's not our savior, won.
00:09:09.100 And people started flocking to him and willing to take bold stands and say,
00:09:16.020 you know what, all this crap, it's wrong.
00:09:18.920 So this is not the end of an era alone.
00:09:24.380 It's the beginning of the end of that era.
00:09:28.160 The end of unreasonable hatred of others.
00:09:31.360 Not because they look different.
00:09:33.960 But simply because they voted differently.
00:09:37.120 They didn't think differently.
00:09:38.840 You know, it was nothing about actual diversity.
00:09:43.280 It was all about voting.
00:09:44.920 It's the end of unquestioning obedience to the so-called media and experts
00:09:54.060 who demand that we follow them without question into the slaughterhouse,
00:09:59.740 hoping, I guess, hoping against hope, many of us,
00:10:02.540 that if we would just comply, our turn on the chopping block would never come.
00:10:08.660 It's the end of the era of my body, my choice.
00:10:11.820 In everything else other than killing your baby.
00:10:18.240 You can kill your baby, my body, my choice.
00:10:21.440 Well, it's not your body that's being killed.
00:10:23.580 It's the baby's body.
00:10:24.780 Made no sense.
00:10:26.700 But boy, oh boy.
00:10:28.940 Not with masks.
00:10:30.660 Not with vaccines.
00:10:32.680 Not with the basic right to just use your legs and leave your home.
00:10:37.280 It's an end of an era where we have to ask ourselves,
00:10:45.340 whose side is this government on?
00:10:48.200 Who is actually running this thing?
00:10:51.080 What is the actual plan that our leaders have?
00:10:55.900 How is this helping the average American?
00:10:59.880 Who is actually the president?
00:11:02.160 That ends on Monday.
00:11:06.720 It's the beginning of the end.
00:11:09.080 There's a lot of work to do.
00:11:11.720 But it's the beginning of the end of diversity twisted into a weapon
00:11:15.120 where diversity of thought, values, and spirit were just disregarded,
00:11:20.380 replaced by a narrow, suffocating dogma
00:11:23.400 that demanded conformity in all ways.
00:11:27.000 Even if you were conforming yesterday,
00:11:30.240 and then somehow or another through the ether,
00:11:32.960 the mob decided what was true yesterday is no longer true today,
00:11:37.560 the mob would get you
00:11:39.760 on anything you disagreed with.
00:11:45.100 It's the end of the era where dissent was met not with debate,
00:11:50.240 but with just now meaningless labels,
00:11:54.180 racist, fascist, bigot.
00:11:57.000 I think it's really important that all of us recognize
00:12:01.820 this is not about Democrats.
00:12:04.820 There are a lot of Democrats that actually woke up.
00:12:10.560 It's not about Democrats.
00:12:12.020 It's not about Republicans.
00:12:13.320 I think both of them stink, quite honestly.
00:12:15.460 I do.
00:12:15.880 And that's the message of this new administration.
00:12:18.740 And you see it with the diversity of people
00:12:21.940 that are actually in this administration.
00:12:24.100 We don't agree in lockstep on everything.
00:12:27.860 Far from it.
00:12:29.920 The establishment and the Democrats and the Republicans do.
00:12:34.480 But this isn't about Democrat, Republicans, liberals,
00:12:37.620 conservative, independent.
00:12:39.280 This is truly about something much, much deeper
00:12:42.840 that begins Monday.
00:12:44.920 It's older and far more grander than a political party.
00:12:53.560 It is truly about the rebirth or the rediscovering
00:12:59.380 of what it truly means to be free.
00:13:02.220 Monday marks the rebirth of something absolutely extraordinary.
00:13:10.780 Things we used to find self-evident.
00:13:12.680 The freedoms guaranteed just in our First Amendment.
00:13:16.220 The freedom to question our government.
00:13:18.860 They work for us.
00:13:20.260 We don't work for them.
00:13:22.000 The freedom to speak our mind.
00:13:24.100 Even the most unpleasant and disruptive things,
00:13:29.600 you are allowed to say.
00:13:31.820 The freedom to worship.
00:13:35.080 To live out your beliefs.
00:13:37.520 To be who you are without demanding that others speak,
00:13:42.420 affirm, or even accept your truth.
00:13:45.500 You know, the one thing that we have forgotten in this last era
00:13:50.600 that I hope we are remembering
00:13:52.260 is that this nation wasn't built by people
00:13:54.920 who all walked in lockstep.
00:13:56.780 They didn't agree on everything.
00:13:57.900 In fact, far from it.
00:13:59.680 It was built by people who often vehemently
00:14:02.880 disagreed on the right path forward.
00:14:05.280 But they shared the common commitment
00:14:07.800 to respecting each other's rights
00:14:10.140 and fulfilling their own responsibilities.
00:14:13.860 It was built on the idea
00:14:17.140 that disagreement,
00:14:18.720 when handled with humility and respect,
00:14:21.280 makes us stronger, not weaker.
00:14:23.960 Diversity of thought is important.
00:14:29.380 Diversity of skin color doesn't matter.
00:14:33.640 And so, as we say farewell
00:14:35.940 to an era of absolute chaos,
00:14:39.980 it's really important that we don't say goodbye
00:14:43.640 in anger or bitterness,
00:14:45.620 and that is hard.
00:14:48.500 We can't alienate our neighbors
00:14:50.780 or assume the worst of those
00:14:52.260 who see the world differently
00:14:53.780 if we agree on the rebirth
00:14:57.140 of the Bill of Rights
00:14:59.300 and each responsibility
00:15:02.540 that is tied to those rights.
00:15:06.800 Monday, I hope we recognize
00:15:08.400 that this is an end of an era this weekend,
00:15:11.260 and Monday is an invitation to rebuild,
00:15:16.680 to restore, to renew.
00:15:19.920 An era, a golden era.
00:15:24.020 An era that is dawning
00:15:26.180 just in front of all of us,
00:15:27.880 and it belongs to all of us,
00:15:29.340 not just those who won an election
00:15:31.320 or share my view or your view.
00:15:33.780 It's an era that can only succeed
00:15:36.760 if we remember the lessons of the past
00:15:38.900 and commit to something better
00:15:40.440 to restore hope,
00:15:42.040 not just in our institutions,
00:15:43.980 but in each other.
00:15:45.720 Renew our faith,
00:15:46.720 not just in God,
00:15:48.020 though that's vital,
00:15:49.500 but also in the idea
00:15:50.400 that people,
00:15:51.320 flawed though they are,
00:15:53.600 can be capable of incredible good.
00:15:56.800 Seek restoration,
00:15:58.040 not just of our economy
00:15:59.220 and our government,
00:16:01.040 but of our hearts,
00:16:02.200 of our communities,
00:16:03.360 of our families,
00:16:05.200 our shared understanding
00:16:06.540 of what it means to be human
00:16:08.360 and to be free.
00:16:14.520 This weekend,
00:16:15.260 I want you to bid farewell
00:16:16.940 to all of the chaos.
00:16:19.640 It's the beginning of the end.
00:16:21.720 There will be more chaos as we go.
00:16:25.120 But as we lay it down,
00:16:26.820 leave it behind,
00:16:27.780 walk forward,
00:16:29.220 leave your fear behind,
00:16:31.620 walk in courage,
00:16:32.840 not in hatred,
00:16:33.780 but in love,
00:16:34.860 because the truth is
00:16:36.540 this country has faced
00:16:37.700 darker days than these.
00:16:39.240 I didn't think we'd make it here,
00:16:40.920 gang.
00:16:42.040 But every time,
00:16:43.660 this country seems to
00:16:44.820 find the light
00:16:46.440 just at the end.
00:16:48.960 And we found it.
00:16:50.940 But it's just flickering,
00:16:53.520 still so fragile
00:16:55.020 in mighty gusts of wind.
00:16:59.220 But what will happen
00:17:02.000 is not because of a president
00:17:03.460 or Congress or a court.
00:17:04.780 It will all happen
00:17:06.180 because of you.
00:17:08.700 So don't wait for anybody else.
00:17:10.900 Lead the way.
00:17:12.980 Be the one who chooses
00:17:14.040 faith over fear,
00:17:15.340 courage over conformity,
00:17:17.380 love over hatred.
00:17:18.580 Let's be the ones
00:17:20.340 who our words
00:17:21.220 are meaningless,
00:17:22.560 but our action
00:17:23.780 speaks volumes.
00:17:25.540 The one that shows
00:17:26.500 the world
00:17:26.860 that freedom actually works,
00:17:28.280 not because it's easy,
00:17:29.920 but because
00:17:31.060 it is
00:17:32.440 right.
00:17:33.980 Let me tell you about
00:17:34.860 pre-born.
00:17:36.280 When you put your hand
00:17:37.520 over your heart,
00:17:38.200 what do you feel?
00:17:39.900 What's that
00:17:40.340 beat,
00:17:41.060 beat,
00:17:41.260 beat beneath your hand?
00:17:43.160 That's how you know
00:17:43.960 you're alive.
00:17:45.720 Expecting moms
00:17:46.680 when they go in
00:17:49.180 for an ultrasound
00:17:50.660 or they go in
00:17:51.220 for an abortion,
00:17:53.060 they've been taught
00:17:55.720 to ignore
00:17:56.420 the beating heart.
00:17:58.240 But when they see
00:17:59.460 an ultrasound
00:18:00.260 of their unborn child,
00:18:02.040 not just a glob
00:18:03.040 of cells,
00:18:03.800 but a beating heart
00:18:04.740 and a brain
00:18:05.200 and arms and legs,
00:18:06.480 that changes them.
00:18:09.100 Now,
00:18:09.360 the abortion pill
00:18:10.100 accounts for over 60%
00:18:11.540 of all abortions,
00:18:12.520 and it's available
00:18:13.520 pretty much 24-7.
00:18:15.700 This is why
00:18:16.380 the Ministry of Pre-Born
00:18:17.500 is so important.
00:18:19.180 They've got to get
00:18:20.040 those who are going in
00:18:21.200 and give them
00:18:22.060 an ultrasound
00:18:22.560 because that stops
00:18:23.740 a lot of that.
00:18:25.240 But also,
00:18:26.420 they're fighting
00:18:27.120 on another front now.
00:18:28.760 They need your help.
00:18:29.940 For $28,
00:18:31.040 that's the cost
00:18:31.620 of a dinner,
00:18:32.180 you can sponsor
00:18:32.860 one ultrasound
00:18:33.620 and introduce a mom
00:18:34.660 to her baby
00:18:35.180 for the very first time
00:18:36.140 and 100% of your donations
00:18:37.940 going towards
00:18:38.820 saving babies.
00:18:40.320 So will you help?
00:18:40.960 Just dial pound 250.
00:18:42.780 Say the keyword baby.
00:18:43.800 That's pound 250,

00:18:52.720 Now,
00:18:53.280 back to the podcast.
00:18:54.660 You're listening to the best
00:18:56.360 of the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:02.440 Brad Meltzer is with me.
00:19:04.280 He and his co-author,
00:19:06.480 Josh Mensch,
00:19:07.580 have just released
00:19:08.860 a new book called
00:19:09.540 The JFK Conspiracy,
00:19:11.620 The Secret Plot to Kill Kennedy,
00:19:13.760 and Why It Failed.
00:19:15.320 Brad,
00:19:15.720 as always,
00:19:16.120 it's good to see you.
00:19:16.920 Always good to see you,
00:19:17.700 my friend.
00:19:18.560 So,
00:19:19.100 let's start with,
00:19:21.720 I mean,
00:19:21.980 kind of where we are
00:19:22.880 right now.
00:19:24.020 I talked to
00:19:25.700 Kash Patel
00:19:27.980 eight months ago,
00:19:29.760 and when he was at DNI,
00:19:32.280 when he was at DNI,
00:19:33.420 he said he saw
00:19:34.480 some of the things.
00:19:35.100 He didn't tell me
00:19:35.580 what it was.
00:19:36.060 He said,
00:19:37.500 but he saw the Kennedy stuff
00:19:39.880 and elsewhere,
00:19:41.320 and he said,
00:19:42.500 you know,
00:19:43.380 if people see it,
00:19:44.360 they would understand
00:19:45.340 why it has been
00:19:47.140 kept quiet.
00:19:48.580 He said,
00:19:48.940 I don't agree with it,
00:19:49.720 but you would understand.
00:19:52.240 Do you think
00:19:53.140 we're going to find,
00:19:54.180 get the full disclosure
00:19:56.360 this time?
00:19:58.120 We were promised it
00:19:59.000 when Trump first
00:19:59.920 took office.
00:20:00.560 Over and over.
00:20:01.020 Over and over.
00:20:01.760 I sit on the board
00:20:03.120 of the National Archives
00:20:04.060 Foundation,
00:20:04.740 as you know,
00:20:05.960 and believe me,
00:20:07.640 we all want it.
00:20:08.960 Everyone there wants it.
00:20:10.180 And I will say this,
00:20:11.780 I don't think,
00:20:12.740 I actually don't think
00:20:13.620 there's some smoking gun,
00:20:14.920 and here's why.
00:20:16.420 Because Jack Ruby
00:20:18.140 killed Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:20:20.080 Right.
00:20:20.220 And the moment he did that,
00:20:21.860 he took away
00:20:22.420 the one eyewitness
00:20:23.400 who actually was there
00:20:24.940 and knew what happened.
00:20:25.720 So you can find
00:20:26.580 all these other things,
00:20:27.420 but it will never
00:20:28.000 answer the question,
00:20:29.740 what is Lee Harvey Oswald
00:20:31.540 doing in Russia
00:20:32.620 at the height
00:20:33.340 of the Cold War?
00:20:35.200 Who do we ask that to?
00:20:36.840 He's the guy
00:20:37.480 going there
00:20:38.080 and doing it.
00:20:39.240 And the fact that no,
00:20:40.980 here's the other thing
00:20:41.700 that I always rely on,
00:20:43.380 deathbed confessions.
00:20:45.060 I'm obsessed
00:20:45.860 with deathbed confessions.
00:20:47.360 If you look at Watergate
00:20:49.060 and who Deep Throat was,
00:20:51.820 Bob Wood was going
00:20:52.780 to take it to the grave,
00:20:54.100 the head of the Washington Post
00:20:54.940 was going to take it
00:20:55.420 to the grave
00:20:55.940 and how do we find out
00:20:57.660 who Deep Throat was?
00:20:58.740 Because Deep Throat
00:20:59.560 got old and said,
00:21:00.920 it's me,
00:21:01.840 it's me,
00:21:02.320 Mark Felt.
00:21:02.860 I can't,
00:21:03.200 I'm about to die
00:21:04.160 and I want the truth
00:21:05.520 to be known.
00:21:06.980 And in all these years,
00:21:08.580 since that day here
00:21:09.720 in, you know,
00:21:10.240 Dallas in 1963,
00:21:12.260 nobody said a word
00:21:13.440 and I don't believe
00:21:14.660 that for one second.
00:21:15.740 There's someone
00:21:16.360 who on their deathbed
00:21:17.460 and look at the math
00:21:18.460 of where they are,
00:21:19.200 there's very few people
00:21:20.060 that were alive,
00:21:20.880 you know,
00:21:21.380 were getting there.
00:21:22.280 So I'm hoping,
00:21:23.300 but that's what I trust
00:21:24.340 more than some paper,
00:21:25.440 you know,
00:21:25.860 bureaucratic paperwork.
00:21:27.660 So let's talk about
00:21:28.980 this new conspiracy
00:21:30.720 to kill President Kennedy.
00:21:33.800 I had never heard
00:21:35.280 of it before
00:21:35.840 and you explain
00:21:36.480 in the book why,
00:21:37.740 but first set it up.
00:21:39.120 This is before
00:21:39.940 he takes office,
00:21:40.800 right?
00:21:41.160 Yeah,
00:21:41.280 this is three years
00:21:42.220 before Lee Harvey Oswald
00:21:43.700 obviously takes
00:21:45.320 his famous shot
00:21:46.080 and it is
00:21:47.800 in Palm Beach,
00:21:48.740 Florida.
00:21:49.580 It's a beautiful
00:21:50.520 Sunday morning
00:21:51.440 right after JFK
00:21:52.460 has been elected
00:21:52.840 almost right where
00:21:53.500 we are right now
00:21:54.320 in the presidency.
00:21:55.040 He's been elected,
00:21:56.020 he's waiting for inauguration
00:21:57.020 and he's going to church.
00:21:59.380 Sunday morning,
00:22:00.640 JFK goes to church
00:22:01.580 and he has no idea
00:22:02.640 that there is
00:22:04.100 a disgruntled postal worker
00:22:05.640 named Richard Pavlik
00:22:06.900 who wants to kill him
00:22:08.360 and he's packed his car
00:22:09.720 with seven sticks
00:22:10.860 of dynamite.
00:22:12.240 He's followed JFK,
00:22:13.740 he tracked him
00:22:14.380 to Massachusetts,
00:22:15.840 he tracked him
00:22:16.360 to Palm Beach,
00:22:16.940 Florida,
00:22:17.280 followed him to Florida
00:22:18.240 because he believes
00:22:19.200 that JFK's security
00:22:20.600 is weakest there
00:22:21.380 which he's right about
00:22:22.440 and as JFK
00:22:23.880 leaves his house
00:22:24.620 that morning
00:22:25.140 for church
00:22:25.720 all this assassin
00:22:27.080 has to do
00:22:27.760 is hit the little
00:22:28.700 trigger device
00:22:29.400 that he's built
00:22:30.020 and boom
00:22:31.100 will go the dynamite.
00:22:32.940 Would he be in the car?
00:22:34.080 He's in the car.
00:22:34.980 He writes the letter
00:22:35.940 and says
00:22:36.340 I'm not coming back
00:22:38.180 from this
00:22:38.600 and what saves
00:22:40.680 JFK's life that day,
00:22:41.880 I don't want to ruin
00:22:42.360 the ending
00:22:42.680 although I think
00:22:43.160 I just ruined
00:22:43.700 chapter one
00:22:44.300 of the JFK conspiracy
00:22:45.320 that's chapter one
00:22:46.060 but what saves
00:22:46.860 his life that day
00:22:47.540 has to do with Jackie,
00:22:48.460 I won't ruin it
00:22:49.140 but it's one of the craziest
00:22:50.940 JFK stories
00:22:51.720 you've never heard
00:22:52.520 in your life.
00:22:53.420 So why haven't we heard this?
00:22:55.080 That's the right question.
00:22:56.380 So here's why
00:22:57.040 you don't know this story
00:22:58.200 is it was a huge story
00:23:00.300 in Miami
00:23:00.720 in Florida
00:23:01.200 where it happened.
00:23:02.160 Miami Herald
00:23:02.520 had a big front page article.
00:23:04.620 It's about to go nationwide.
00:23:06.180 It used to back then
00:23:06.820 take an extra day
00:23:07.680 to go from local
00:23:08.420 to nationwide
00:23:09.000 and on the day
00:23:10.700 it's going nationwide
00:23:11.640 two airliners
00:23:12.940 collide
00:23:13.680 over New York City.
00:23:15.260 Oh my gosh.
00:23:16.080 Everyone on board
00:23:16.800 dies except for one child
00:23:18.560 the sole survivor.
00:23:20.240 Oh my God.
00:23:20.820 And America
00:23:21.580 becomes obsessed
00:23:22.580 with this kid, right?
00:23:24.020 Is he going to live?
00:23:24.620 Is he going to die?
00:23:25.520 It knocks this JFK story
00:23:27.220 off the front page
00:23:28.220 buries it into the middle
00:23:29.220 of the newspaper.
00:23:30.020 It becomes a footnote
00:23:31.080 to history
00:23:31.700 until my friend
00:23:32.980 Josh mentioned
00:23:33.500 I find it
00:23:34.520 and we're like
00:23:34.980 America needs to know
00:23:36.640 this story.
00:23:37.840 That's where the JFK
00:23:38.720 conspiracy is born.
00:23:39.560 How did you
00:23:40.100 how did you find this story?
00:23:41.940 Because I'm crazy
00:23:42.860 like you, right?
00:23:43.720 I mean because we love
00:23:44.540 listen your algorithm
00:23:45.820 I know is like my algorithm
00:23:47.120 it feeds us what we like
00:23:48.420 and it knows
00:23:49.100 so I usually find them
00:23:51.060 in footnotes
00:23:51.740 the best stories
00:23:52.820 in history
00:23:53.180 in the footnotes
00:23:53.740 you and I have talked
00:23:54.380 at length about this
00:23:55.120 and this one I found
00:23:56.740 a little mention of it
00:23:57.800 a tiny little blurb on it
00:23:59.520 and I was like
00:24:00.060 and my reaction
00:24:01.620 is always the same
00:24:02.140 is this real
00:24:02.840 and let's find out
00:24:04.500 and
00:24:05.540 those are the best journeys
00:24:06.620 the best
00:24:07.020 they're adventures
00:24:07.760 that's how I see them
00:24:08.620 and we were very lucky
00:24:10.200 that there were
00:24:11.540 some reporters
00:24:12.700 who did a FOIA request
00:24:14.020 for the documents
00:24:15.620 on Richard Pavlik
00:24:16.660 and what they found
00:24:17.620 and what we got
00:24:18.560 was hundreds of pages
00:24:19.700 of the FBI's
00:24:21.100 and the Secret Service's
00:24:22.100 real time files
00:24:23.340 from 1960
00:24:24.720 and we're going
00:24:25.960 Wait, who has
00:24:26.600 where are those?
00:24:27.680 How long did it take
00:24:28.540 to find those?
00:24:29.360 Yeah, I mean
00:24:29.620 you know what
00:24:30.080 the truth is
00:24:30.900 it's the one
00:24:31.560 I mean for all the government
00:24:32.580 the FOIA
00:24:33.360 is an unbelievable thing
00:24:34.760 and if no one
00:24:35.820 if I wouldn't know
00:24:36.800 to look for them
00:24:37.620 but once they're out
00:24:39.040 now there's a record
00:24:39.840 so once you get
00:24:40.580 Richard Pavlik
00:24:41.400 once I find that story
00:24:42.300 and I get his name
00:24:43.060 now I can find
00:24:44.180 his arrest record
00:24:44.960 now I can find
00:24:46.000 who the officer is
00:24:46.720 now I can find
00:24:47.340 oh was the service
00:24:48.200 or the FBI arrested him
00:24:49.740 now I can
00:24:50.100 and you suddenly
00:24:51.540 play that game
00:24:52.240 through time
00:24:52.920 and you start
00:24:54.280 pulling these layers
00:24:55.160 and it just reveals
00:24:56.300 so much
00:24:57.180 of course about JFK
00:24:58.380 and what's going on
00:24:59.100 in 1960
00:24:59.760 So why did he want
00:25:01.960 to kill him?
00:25:03.400 Disgruntled postal worker
00:25:04.560 I mean that's
00:25:05.100 Putting the word postal
00:25:05.940 in postal worker
00:25:07.080 right
00:25:07.600 you kind of have an answer
00:25:08.540 we have an answer
00:25:09.080 but here's the real answer
00:25:10.020 the real answer is
00:25:10.720 because he's Catholic
00:25:11.420 of all things
00:25:12.920 and it sounds
00:25:14.260 almost silly now
00:25:15.360 he's Catholic
00:25:15.820 so was JFK
00:25:17.240 no no
00:25:18.020 because I'm sorry
00:25:18.920 I mean because JFK's Catholic
00:25:20.320 he wants to kill JFK's Catholic
00:25:21.600 no you got that part
00:25:22.500 why would he
00:25:22.720 no no no
00:25:23.500 Pavlik wants to kill JFK
00:25:24.820 because JFK's Catholic
00:25:25.800 and it sounds almost trite now
00:25:27.980 and I know it's titillating
00:25:29.320 for me to come on
00:25:30.320 and say hey
00:25:30.760 we found the secret plot
00:25:31.740 to kill JFK
00:25:32.700 that you've never heard
00:25:34.420 but the reason
00:25:35.820 you and I love history
00:25:37.000 so much
00:25:37.620 is that it's not just
00:25:38.940 cool old stories
00:25:40.080 but it's that
00:25:41.020 it tells us something
00:25:41.820 about where we are
00:25:42.520 right now
00:25:43.100 and if you look
00:25:44.260 at the 1960 election
00:25:45.720 it's JFK
00:25:47.420 versus Richard Nixon
00:25:48.280 the country is bitterly
00:25:50.060 divided
00:25:50.460 the closest election
00:25:51.560 of the 20th century
00:25:52.720 whatever side you're on
00:25:54.460 you think the other side
00:25:55.500 are complete
00:25:56.080 and utter morons
00:25:57.240 does that sound
00:25:58.460 familiar to you?
00:25:59.540 right
00:26:00.020 it's right we are now
00:26:01.260 and it sounds almost silly now
00:26:03.480 but there were
00:26:03.920 Protestant leaders back then
00:26:05.380 who did not want a Catholic
00:26:07.540 becoming president
00:26:08.880 because they were worried
00:26:09.720 including great statesmen
00:26:11.540 like Billy Graham
00:26:12.420 Billy Graham
00:26:13.400 the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale
00:26:15.240 who wrote
00:26:15.640 The Power of Positive Thinking
00:26:16.840 one of the great books
00:26:17.880 Norman Vincent Peale
00:26:18.620 he's the one
00:26:19.560 who Billy Graham
00:26:20.040 puts out in front of the public
00:26:21.380 wow
00:26:21.940 and you see video of him
00:26:23.260 saying we can't have
00:26:24.540 anyone who's Catholic
00:26:25.920 because what he wants
00:26:27.540 he's worried
00:26:27.900 he's going to be loyal
00:26:28.360 to the Pope
00:26:28.860 you're on the money
00:26:29.640 and they're worried
00:26:31.120 that when JFK
00:26:32.620 takes office
00:26:33.300 he'll be loyal
00:26:34.280 to the Pope
00:26:34.800 and not these United States
00:26:35.920 and he can't be trusted
00:26:36.840 and again
00:26:37.900 it sounds almost silly now
00:26:39.040 but back then
00:26:39.620 that's what they thought
00:26:40.360 and here was the other
00:26:41.200 big part
00:26:41.720 the KKK
00:26:43.120 very separately
00:26:44.560 the Ku Klux Klan
00:26:45.420 of course in the Civil War
00:26:46.640 is harassing
00:26:47.800 the black community
00:26:48.520 in the 1920s
00:26:50.220 there's a resurgence
00:26:51.140 of the KKK
00:26:51.920 and they realize
00:26:53.420 that they can expand
00:26:54.300 their dues
00:26:54.900 and their membership
00:26:55.700 by expanding
00:26:56.420 that circle of hate
00:26:57.280 and what they expanded
00:26:58.920 to is they start
00:27:00.240 hating not just blacks
00:27:01.160 but they start
00:27:01.980 hating Jews
00:27:02.620 they start hating immigrants
00:27:03.900 and they see JFK
00:27:05.280 as an Irish Catholic immigrant
00:27:06.440 that his family
00:27:07.820 came across on a boat
00:27:08.900 and we can't have
00:27:09.580 an immigrant
00:27:09.960 reach that White House
00:27:11.200 and when you put
00:27:12.300 that venom
00:27:12.860 like what
00:27:13.920 what the
00:27:14.620 you know
00:27:15.060 saying you can't have
00:27:15.920 a Catholic
00:27:16.260 in the White House
00:27:16.800 out there
00:27:17.300 people are listening
00:27:18.780 and Richard Pavlik
00:27:20.500 is listening
00:27:21.040 and he's like
00:27:21.840 you know what
00:27:22.300 I'm going to do
00:27:23.880 something good
00:27:24.300 for America
00:27:24.840 I'm going to make
00:27:25.520 sure the Catholic
00:27:26.200 never gets to the White House
00:27:27.460 if I'm not mistaken
00:27:28.360 it was
00:27:29.300 the Catholics
00:27:30.820 were instrumental
00:27:31.800 in raising money
00:27:33.080 for the Washington
00:27:33.820 Monument
00:27:35.040 I think that's right
00:27:36.380 I think that is right
00:27:37.320 I remember reading
00:27:37.860 about that
00:27:38.220 I did
00:27:38.460 I used to do
00:27:39.140 for one of our
00:27:40.280 History Channel shows
00:27:41.060 we did something on that
00:27:41.720 and I think
00:27:42.240 I think that's why
00:27:43.740 it took so long
00:27:44.620 to finish
00:27:44.980 not only that
00:27:45.580 but also the Civil War
00:27:46.640 because people were like
00:27:48.060 that's a Catholic project
00:27:49.200 of course
00:27:49.880 I mean a great giant monument
00:27:51.740 the Catholic
00:27:52.480 I mean who knows
00:27:53.260 but you know
00:27:54.140 we look at that
00:27:55.480 as like
00:27:55.900 right now
00:27:56.400 we all roll our eyes
00:27:57.120 and say
00:27:57.320 why would they care
00:27:58.260 about that
00:27:58.860 but it just shows you
00:28:00.540 what venom and hatred
00:28:01.860 can do to our country
00:28:02.860 and to me
00:28:04.240 you know
00:28:04.600 I'm very much obsessed
00:28:06.640 with looking at this
00:28:07.900 from that perspective
00:28:09.380 and in fact
00:28:10.140 one of the things
00:28:10.620 I became obsessed with
00:28:11.660 was Camelot itself
00:28:13.280 and one of the things
00:28:15.000 I learned
00:28:15.740 I love Jackie Kennedy
00:28:17.600 love her
00:28:18.180 and Jackie Kennedy
00:28:20.000 we've reduced
00:28:20.680 to a caricature
00:28:21.560 we've said
00:28:22.260 oh she's beautiful
00:28:23.060 and she's got grace
00:28:24.240 and she can decorate
00:28:25.180 we don't do her
00:28:26.680 a service there
00:28:27.520 and one of
00:28:28.560 she was wicked smart
00:28:30.080 wicked is the right word
00:28:31.660 wicked smart
00:28:32.540 like Massachusetts herself
00:28:34.000 and she
00:28:34.780 basically
00:28:35.900 we don't pull our punches
00:28:37.020 we document JFK's affairs
00:28:38.820 yeah
00:28:39.460 we show you
00:28:40.020 that after they get engaged
00:28:41.380 one of JFK's best friends
00:28:43.100 comes to Jackie
00:28:43.920 and says
00:28:44.380 you know
00:28:44.780 Jack really loves women
00:28:47.120 and basically says
00:28:48.500 to her face
00:28:49.160 he's gonna keep
00:28:49.860 sleeping around on you
00:28:50.840 and when she's
00:28:52.120 giving birth
00:28:53.280 she hemorrhages
00:28:54.580 and they have to
00:28:55.620 race her to the hospital
00:28:56.420 JFK is nowhere
00:28:57.280 to be found
00:28:57.880 for like
00:28:58.760 a week or so
00:29:00.140 a long time
00:29:00.440 he's on a boat
00:29:01.620 he's on a plane
00:29:02.320 to Florida
00:29:02.980 you know what
00:29:03.500 happened to me
00:29:04.320 wait wait
00:29:04.680 he was on a boat
00:29:06.820 with a bunch of women
00:29:07.620 oh that's when
00:29:07.900 she has a stillborn
00:29:08.640 that's when
00:29:09.020 he's on a boat
00:29:09.900 full of women
00:29:10.600 for that one
00:29:11.180 that's a stillborn
00:29:11.960 there's two
00:29:12.920 that's the second
00:29:14.080 the first one
00:29:15.100 he's on a boat
00:29:15.760 with a bunch of women
00:29:16.700 she's having a stillborn
00:29:17.640 and they have to tell him
00:29:18.840 you should probably
00:29:19.860 go back
00:29:20.280 you have to go home
00:29:20.820 and he's like
00:29:21.140 you think
00:29:21.660 and they're like
00:29:22.360 yeah man
00:29:23.460 you gotta go back
00:29:24.840 your political career
00:29:25.800 is finished
00:29:26.420 she was done
00:29:27.240 with the marriage
00:29:27.740 on that one
00:29:28.320 right
00:29:28.480 I mean
00:29:28.680 I think she
00:29:29.580 how could you not be
00:29:30.540 right
00:29:30.800 how could you
00:29:31.240 and when she
00:29:32.760 finally gives birth
00:29:33.940 to John John
00:29:34.680 she hemorrhages
00:29:36.220 because she's obviously
00:29:36.980 had this previous pregnancy
00:29:38.220 it was a disaster
00:29:39.060 JFK's on a plane
00:29:40.320 in the Florida
00:29:40.780 do you know
00:29:41.200 what would happen
00:29:41.740 to me
00:29:42.120 if I was on a plane
00:29:43.460 to Florida
00:29:43.980 while my wife
00:29:44.560 was giving birth
00:29:45.220 you and I
00:29:45.660 would not be talking
00:29:46.420 right now
00:29:46.760 because I would be
00:29:47.320 murdered
00:29:47.760 I know
00:29:48.160 me too
00:29:48.640 me too
00:29:49.440 I had to start
00:29:51.380 my CNN show
00:29:52.420 three days
00:29:53.500 two days
00:29:54.200 after my daughter
00:29:55.700 was born
00:29:56.260 and I almost
00:29:57.820 lost my life
00:29:58.700 because I wasn't
00:29:59.720 you know
00:30:00.000 fully there
00:30:01.060 two days later
00:30:02.420 of course
00:30:03.220 and what I kept
00:30:04.600 saying when I'm
00:30:05.280 reading all this
00:30:06.040 is why did they
00:30:07.280 call this place
00:30:07.820 Camelot
00:30:08.420 how is it so great
00:30:10.120 that it's Camelot
00:30:11.120 and I was like
00:30:12.400 where does it start
00:30:13.120 is it year one Camelot
00:30:14.100 year two Camelot

00:31:13.420 into what we were
00:31:14.240 talking about
00:31:14.740 I was just
00:31:15.220 I was just getting
00:31:16.260 into something
00:31:17.040 called the telepathy
00:31:17.880 tapes that I
00:31:18.420 started listening
00:31:18.960 to yesterday
00:31:19.560 and I'm already
00:31:20.200 eight episodes
00:31:20.820 down
00:31:21.160 wow
00:31:21.660 I mean
00:31:22.480 it's rabbit hole
00:31:23.500 but they're very
00:31:25.080 careful on laying
00:31:26.000 everything out
00:31:26.840 so you just don't
00:31:27.480 roll your eyes
00:31:28.160 and it goes to
00:31:29.340 something bigger
00:31:30.320 that Stu and I
00:31:32.080 were just talking
00:31:32.700 about on the air
00:31:33.660 that today
00:31:34.620 and Monday
00:31:35.460 I'm just not
00:31:36.140 going to have
00:31:36.420 the time
00:31:36.760 to do justice
00:31:37.420 to
00:31:37.640 so would
00:31:38.600 you write
00:31:39.060 down
00:31:39.560 telepathy
00:31:40.280 tapes
00:31:40.700 and
00:31:41.840 likable
00:31:44.440 hippies
00:31:45.080 and end
00:31:47.200 of an era
00:31:47.740 she's currently
00:31:48.460 writing down
00:31:48.880 the words
00:31:49.140 likable
00:31:49.620 hippies
00:31:49.980 I know
00:31:50.260 I hate
00:31:51.580 hippies
00:31:51.960 I hate
00:31:52.380 hippies
00:31:52.700 but there
00:31:53.060 are a few
00:31:53.820 non-Marxist
00:31:55.000 authentic
00:31:56.180 hippies
00:31:57.700 that I think
00:31:58.980 I might like
00:31:59.560 in theory
00:32:00.160 it's in theory
00:32:00.720 hippies is not
00:32:01.240 I mean
00:32:01.620 it's
00:32:01.940 they wouldn't
00:32:02.660 like the word
00:32:03.160 no they wouldn't
00:32:03.840 like the word
00:32:04.220 but I know
00:32:04.940 what you're
00:32:05.160 saying
00:32:05.380 that's what
00:32:05.700 they are
00:32:05.920 all right
00:32:07.340 in the meantime
00:32:08.560 there is a
00:32:10.260 documentary
00:32:11.660 that is showing
00:32:13.220 the real history
00:32:14.160 of the California
00:32:14.920 wildfires
00:32:15.600 and no major
00:32:17.780 distributors
00:32:18.560 would take it
00:32:20.040 Netflix
00:32:20.440 HBO said
00:32:21.200 no no no
00:32:22.100 no we can't
00:32:23.040 do that
00:32:23.540 the documentary

00:32:41.480 Netflix
00:32:42.020 everybody said
00:32:42.920 no you're
00:32:43.780 not talking
00:32:44.460 enough about
00:32:45.020 climate change
00:32:45.800 right
00:32:46.400 oh yeah
00:32:48.060 and look
00:32:48.680 it's been a
00:32:49.100 surreal experience
00:32:49.920 you know this
00:32:50.680 well enough
00:32:51.060 Hollywood has
00:32:51.580 been entirely
00:32:52.400 captured
00:32:53.060 by wokeness
00:32:54.280 and I think
00:32:55.100 this is why
00:32:55.580 they keep
00:32:55.940 reciting the
00:32:56.600 same garbage
00:32:57.340 that nobody
00:32:58.120 likes
00:32:58.560 so I
00:32:59.660 made this
00:33:00.240 film in a
00:33:00.580 very unconventional
00:33:01.640 way I just
00:33:02.140 spent six years
00:33:02.840 walking into
00:33:03.720 these wildfires
00:33:04.460 with a couple
00:33:04.860 of cameras
00:33:05.340 and I
00:33:05.980 embedded directly
00:33:06.720 with the
00:33:06.980 hotshot crews
00:33:07.640 to get their
00:33:08.300 point of view
00:33:09.000 and look
00:33:10.120 the visuals
00:33:10.900 are insane
00:33:11.680 and I think
00:33:12.020 that's what
00:33:12.320 got us in the
00:33:12.780 door with
00:33:13.240 Netflix and HBO
00:33:14.120 but in the film
00:33:15.100 we gloss over
00:33:15.900 the climate change
00:33:16.640 thing and say
00:33:17.060 look we've had
00:33:17.980 horrible fires
00:33:18.660 for centuries
00:33:19.540 yes
00:33:20.020 and the worst
00:33:20.780 ones were
00:33:21.360 actually way
00:33:21.820 back in 1871
00:33:23.000 during you know
00:33:23.820 the optimal
00:33:24.400 climate so
00:33:25.140 obviously your SUV
00:33:26.160 doesn't matter
00:33:26.760 and because we
00:33:28.420 didn't sufficiently
00:33:29.280 mess our drawers
00:33:30.380 about climate
00:33:31.100 change
00:33:31.520 they balked at
00:33:32.520 it and they
00:33:32.820 wanted us to
00:33:33.380 recut the whole
00:33:34.160 film to be more
00:33:35.100 about climate
00:33:35.580 change
00:33:35.960 but I'm not
00:33:37.120 going to lie
00:33:37.760 so I refused
00:33:39.180 to cut it
00:33:39.660 they told me
00:33:40.140 to kick rocks
00:33:40.800 so I just
00:33:41.260 made a template
00:33:41.800 website
00:33:42.260 released it
00:33:42.820 myself
00:33:43.240 and it's been
00:33:44.080 entirely a
00:33:44.620 grassroots effort
00:33:45.420 and look
00:33:46.320 it's insanely
00:33:47.100 difficult when
00:33:47.820 you're competing
00:33:48.360 against these
00:33:48.980 massive studios
00:33:49.740 but the film
00:33:51.840 it's actually
00:33:52.640 become the
00:33:53.080 number one rated
00:33:53.740 firefighter film
00:33:54.700 of all time
00:33:55.940 over backdraft
00:33:57.300 backdraft
00:33:58.740 that's an
00:34:00.060 amazing movie
00:34:01.060 but it just
00:34:02.600 shows you how
00:34:03.220 self-destructive
00:34:04.040 this woke
00:34:04.700 epidemic is
00:34:05.740 for Hollywood
00:34:06.500 they're shooting
00:34:07.040 themselves in the
00:34:07.680 foot like how
00:34:08.260 do you turn
00:34:08.700 down a
00:34:09.100 profitable film
00:34:10.000 just because
00:34:10.840 you're mad
00:34:11.460 that it didn't
00:34:12.060 sufficiently validate
00:34:13.120 your dogmatic
00:34:13.980 ideology it's
00:34:14.960 crazy
00:34:15.420 so you know
00:34:16.260 it's uh
00:34:16.920 yesterday
00:34:17.560 did you hear
00:34:18.200 this too
00:34:18.680 Donald Trump
00:34:19.320 said
00:34:19.960 John Voight
00:34:21.200 Sylvester Stallone
00:34:23.460 and Mel Gibson
00:34:24.440 are now special
00:34:26.180 envoys for the
00:34:27.480 president
00:34:27.840 to try to
00:34:29.380 fix Hollywood
00:34:30.220 and I'm like
00:34:30.820 I don't know
00:34:31.420 how you could
00:34:31.980 fix Hollywood
00:34:32.720 I think it's
00:34:33.740 being fixed
00:34:34.300 on its own
00:34:34.900 because they're
00:34:35.240 just
00:34:35.440 they're just
00:34:36.560 they're going
00:34:37.540 to end in a
00:34:38.120 giant ball of
00:34:38.820 fire like
00:34:39.300 California is
00:34:40.620 you can't
00:34:41.860 you can't
00:34:42.940 keep up this
00:34:43.660 kind of
00:34:44.240 policy that
00:34:45.860 is
00:34:46.300 completely
00:34:48.120 unhooked
00:34:48.960 from common
00:34:49.740 sense and
00:34:50.260 reality and
00:34:50.940 expect to
00:34:51.420 succeed in
00:34:52.000 anything
00:34:52.480 in any way
00:34:53.440 100%
00:34:56.040 right and
00:34:56.500 frankly I
00:34:57.120 think there
00:34:57.480 is a
00:34:57.780 massively
00:34:58.300 underserved
00:34:59.200 market of
00:34:59.780 people
00:35:00.180 they don't
00:35:01.200 even need
00:35:01.620 they don't
00:35:02.000 need right
00:35:02.440 wing movies
00:35:03.140 to balance
00:35:04.000 out the
00:35:04.380 commie movies
00:35:04.920 they just
00:35:05.220 want good
00:35:05.960 movies back
00:35:06.960 just don't
00:35:07.740 lecture me
00:35:08.260 just give
00:35:09.040 me 90s
00:35:09.800 Hollywood when
00:35:10.400 we had
00:35:10.680 Jurassic Park
00:35:11.520 and Saving
00:35:11.960 Private Ryan
00:35:12.680 and all
00:35:13.340 these good
00:35:13.740 flicks with
00:35:14.300 no agenda
00:35:14.940 like that's
00:35:15.760 what we
00:35:16.060 were aiming
00:35:16.440 to do
00:35:16.780 just to
00:35:17.120 try to
00:35:17.420 inform
00:35:17.780 honestly
00:35:18.300 and trust
00:35:19.140 that our
00:35:19.380 audience is
00:35:19.920 smart enough
00:35:20.480 to come up
00:35:21.040 with their
00:35:21.320 own conclusions
00:35:22.260 and let
00:35:22.760 them enjoy
00:35:23.660 the picture
00:35:24.080 on their
00:35:24.420 own
00:35:24.620 I think
00:35:25.140 the rational
00:35:25.740 wing of
00:35:26.160 America is
00:35:26.720 responding very
00:35:27.540 positively to
00:35:28.340 that and I
00:35:28.780 think if more
00:35:29.240 filmmakers go
00:35:30.140 that route
00:35:30.840 they can have
00:35:31.660 success outside
00:35:32.520 of the system
00:35:33.160 so one of the
00:35:34.420 things that's in
00:35:35.060 hotshot the movie
00:35:36.600 that you've
00:35:36.980 released online
00:35:37.700 is the difference
00:35:39.720 between California
00:35:40.780 and Florida
00:35:42.060 and Florida
00:35:43.440 has very few
00:35:44.240 forest fires
00:35:44.980 it's hot there
00:35:46.060 too
00:35:46.520 what's the
00:35:48.160 difference
00:35:48.560 well not
00:35:50.300 only is it
00:35:50.720 hot there
00:35:51.140 but all
00:35:51.520 that rain
00:35:52.020 just creates
00:35:52.440 more fuels
00:35:53.060 Florida
00:35:53.420 is very
00:35:53.940 flammable
00:35:54.480 but back
00:35:55.000 in the
00:35:56.100 late 1990s
00:35:57.080 they had
00:35:57.360 a huge
00:35:57.920 wildfire
00:35:58.380 outbreak
00:35:58.840 destroyed a
00:35:59.600 bunch of
00:35:59.820 homes
00:36:00.060 destroyed the
00:36:00.580 timber
00:36:00.800 industry
00:36:01.080 and it
00:36:01.300 cost them
00:36:01.680 a fortune
00:36:02.100 so they
00:36:02.440 made a
00:36:02.720 very rational
00:36:03.360 conclusion
00:36:03.900 how much
00:36:05.160 did 500,000
00:36:06.120 acres of
00:36:06.500 wildfire cost
00:36:07.320 us
00:36:07.560 and how
00:36:08.080 much would
00:36:08.400 it cost
00:36:08.780 us to
00:36:09.220 proactively
00:36:09.780 burn that
00:36:10.500 with prescribed
00:36:11.140 fire
00:36:11.480 and what
00:36:11.700 they found
00:36:12.120 out is that
00:36:12.780 that one
00:36:13.760 wildfire
00:36:14.500 outbreak
00:36:15.100 they could
00:36:15.820 afford it
00:36:16.380 to do
00:36:16.680 60 years
00:36:17.800 of prescribed
00:36:18.600 fire
00:36:19.040 and so they
00:36:19.840 just decided
00:36:20.380 okay we're
00:36:21.160 going to do
00:36:21.480 that
00:36:21.700 and every
00:36:22.140 year
00:36:22.440 they proactively
00:36:23.200 burn 2 million
00:36:24.320 acres
00:36:24.760 every single
00:36:25.440 year
00:36:25.720 in one year
00:36:26.840 Florida proactively
00:36:27.740 burns more than
00:36:28.560 California has
00:36:29.420 burned in the
00:36:30.060 last 50
00:36:31.380 years
00:36:32.320 they need to
00:36:33.440 burn between
00:36:33.920 4 to 11
00:36:34.760 million acres
00:36:35.320 every year
00:36:35.820 just to keep
00:36:36.400 up with that
00:36:36.860 growth that
00:36:37.380 keeps coming
00:36:37.860 out of the
00:36:38.260 ground
00:36:38.500 they're only
00:36:39.580 doing like
00:36:40.000 36,000 a
00:36:41.060 year
00:36:41.280 and four
00:36:42.280 years ago
00:36:42.820 five years
00:36:43.220 ago now
00:36:43.580 Gavin Newsom
00:36:44.600 stepped over
00:36:45.520 burnt corpses
00:36:46.240 on sacred
00:36:46.940 tribal land
00:36:47.740 to promise
00:36:48.380 that he was
00:36:48.940 going to burn
00:36:49.440 a million acres
00:36:50.240 a year
00:36:50.620 he still hasn't
00:36:51.260 come remotely
00:36:52.000 close to doing
00:36:52.800 it
00:36:53.020 everyone focuses
00:36:53.980 on how the
00:36:54.880 government let
00:36:55.380 people down
00:36:55.840 during the
00:36:56.380 firefight I can
00:36:57.040 tell you
00:36:57.460 once fires on
00:36:58.400 the ground
00:36:58.700 with conditions
00:36:59.180 like that
00:36:59.720 there's nothing
00:37:00.320 you can do
00:37:00.960 the real
00:37:01.500 betrayal came
00:37:02.260 you know
00:37:02.980 in the last
00:37:03.500 years and
00:37:04.260 months when
00:37:04.640 they refused
00:37:05.260 to get rid
00:37:05.780 of these
00:37:06.100 fuels
00:37:06.440 you know
00:37:07.480 it's just
00:37:07.920 common sense
00:37:08.680 and it also
00:37:09.460 fires renew
00:37:10.840 the soil
00:37:11.620 it makes
00:37:12.940 the the
00:37:13.820 the new
00:37:14.920 growth
00:37:15.440 stronger
00:37:16.200 it is so
00:37:17.000 natural to
00:37:17.800 do it
00:37:18.140 and I
00:37:18.900 don't
00:37:19.260 understand
00:37:19.800 why
00:37:20.360 the you
00:37:21.900 know
00:37:21.980 powers to
00:37:22.820 be
00:37:23.200 and the
00:37:24.300 so-called
00:37:24.940 you know
00:37:25.560 land
00:37:26.460 scientists
00:37:27.160 and everything
00:37:27.560 else
00:37:27.740 how they
00:37:28.420 don't
00:37:28.900 understand
00:37:29.700 that
00:37:30.120 I'm an
00:37:30.780 alcoholic
00:37:31.320 DJ
00:37:32.000 and I
00:37:32.680 I've
00:37:33.460 known that
00:37:33.900 my whole
00:37:34.300 life
00:37:34.840 well look
00:37:36.640 in order to
00:37:37.600 fix a
00:37:37.940 problem
00:37:38.320 you have to
00:37:39.120 first accept
00:37:39.780 that you
00:37:40.040 have agency
00:37:40.880 over the
00:37:41.700 problem
00:37:42.080 and they
00:37:42.300 refuse to
00:37:42.940 do that
00:37:43.280 except in
00:37:43.820 this like
00:37:44.220 convoluted
00:37:45.600 rube goldberg
00:37:46.580 climate change
00:37:47.480 kind of
00:37:47.800 where they
00:37:48.180 think if you
00:37:48.680 just add
00:37:49.080 more solar
00:37:49.580 panels or
00:37:50.200 buy more
00:37:50.560 teslas that
00:37:51.220 the weather
00:37:51.600 will change
00:37:52.240 and then the
00:37:52.960 fires will
00:37:53.420 stop but
00:37:54.020 look no
00:37:54.860 amount of
00:37:55.200 teslas is
00:37:55.780 going to
00:37:55.960 make the
00:37:56.220 weather less
00:37:56.640 angry you
00:37:57.480 just need to
00:37:57.860 accept it
00:37:58.420 and clear
00:37:58.900 your brush
00:37:59.460 what's double
00:38:00.220 frustrating is
00:38:01.080 these things
00:38:01.960 aren't mutually
00:38:02.720 exclusive you
00:38:03.520 don't even
00:38:03.800 have to
00:38:04.300 abandon the
00:38:05.280 climate change
00:38:05.900 fantasy you
00:38:06.440 just have to
00:38:06.840 accept that
00:38:07.400 none of the
00:38:08.200 climate policies
00:38:08.940 will do a
00:38:09.440 darn thing for
00:38:10.120 wildfires not
00:38:10.860 one like
00:38:11.540 ever but
00:38:12.600 you can
00:38:13.180 prevent
00:38:13.600 tomorrow's
00:38:14.160 wildfire right
00:38:15.080 now and
00:38:15.500 like you
00:38:15.800 said not
00:38:16.600 only do
00:38:17.280 the fires
00:38:17.780 replenish the
00:38:18.740 soil look
00:38:19.720 the ecosystem
00:38:20.540 out west is
00:38:21.200 dependent on
00:38:22.040 fire a lot
00:38:22.660 of trees
00:38:23.060 cannot even
00:38:23.780 reproduce
00:38:24.560 unless the
00:38:25.420 pine cone
00:38:25.860 burns to
00:38:26.940 release and
00:38:27.500 germinate the
00:38:28.020 seed so to
00:38:28.980 try to defy
00:38:29.640 this natural
00:38:30.100 process is
00:38:30.980 insanity let
00:38:32.940 me ask you
00:38:33.440 the California
00:38:35.160 where are you
00:38:35.820 from Gabriel
00:38:36.900 I was born
00:38:38.440 and raised in
00:38:38.920 Los Angeles
00:38:39.480 polisades
00:38:40.500 actually
00:38:40.880 specifically
00:38:41.480 wow so I
00:38:43.580 get this
00:38:43.960 question all
00:38:44.560 the time do
00:38:45.180 you think
00:38:45.460 California is
00:38:46.060 going to wake
00:38:46.420 up and learn
00:38:46.920 their lesson do
00:38:47.500 you think they
00:38:47.860 learned their
00:38:48.260 lesson I don't
00:38:49.860 know
00:38:50.160 no never
00:38:52.320 Dan Bongino
00:38:52.960 always asks
00:38:53.540 this like is
00:38:54.240 it bad enough
00:38:54.740 yet it's not
00:38:55.200 bad enough yet
00:38:55.820 and you know I
00:38:56.980 love Adam
00:38:57.620 Carolla's rant
00:38:58.240 the other day
00:38:58.680 but nothing's
00:38:59.220 going to change
00:38:59.760 like if I
00:39:00.780 thought they
00:39:01.160 were capable
00:39:01.520 of changing I
00:39:02.160 wouldn't have
00:39:02.400 left the state
00:39:02.900 for Tennessee
00:39:03.580 but nothing
00:39:04.380 changed after
00:39:05.040 85 people were
00:39:05.860 killed in
00:39:06.220 paradise Sean
00:39:07.360 Penn lost his
00:39:08.180 Malibu mansion to
00:39:08.940 a fire in
00:39:09.360 1993 then
00:39:10.640 rebuilt it nearly
00:39:11.680 lost it again in
00:39:12.440 another fire in
00:39:13.220 2018 and all he
00:39:14.680 does is blame you
00:39:15.960 for the car that
00:39:16.900 you drive so look I
00:39:18.780 don't think it's
00:39:19.540 going to change
00:39:20.080 because like I
00:39:20.780 said you have to
00:39:21.540 accept that you
00:39:22.080 have agency over
00:39:23.060 the problem if you
00:39:24.340 keep putting it on
00:39:25.420 climate it's the
00:39:26.660 most disempowering
00:39:27.780 narrative you could
00:39:28.600 possibly have because
00:39:30.060 it creates this
00:39:30.680 learned helplessness
00:39:32.040 nothing is going to
00:39:33.380 change so look man
00:39:35.020 I don't know how
00:39:36.380 you can expect anyone
00:39:37.220 to make a real
00:39:37.720 change if they
00:39:38.260 refuse to accept
00:39:39.040 the real world
00:39:39.720 let me let me
00:39:41.280 play some of the
00:39:42.360 the clips from the
00:39:44.500 movie clip 3 from
00:39:46.900 hotshot cut number
00:39:48.640 6 even though the
00:39:50.180 fire season is only
00:39:51.160 June to November
00:39:51.980 she has to train all
00:39:53.560 year to stay in
00:39:54.420 shape there are no
00:39:56.020 bonus points for
00:39:56.860 abs it's a different
00:39:58.260 kind of fitness
00:39:59.260 Justine doesn't have
00:40:01.060 any illusions about
00:40:01.960 the female's
00:40:02.580 physicality she has
00:40:04.980 to put in extra work
00:40:05.920 to keep up with the
00:40:06.700 fellas this is real
00:40:08.540 life not a gender
00:40:09.740 studies class if you
00:40:11.460 can't get up the
00:40:12.100 hill you die if you
00:40:14.160 can't drive the buggy
00:40:14.980 through the fire when
00:40:15.760 goes sideways your
00:40:17.500 whole crew dies you
00:40:19.520 gotta be durable and
00:40:21.100 as a squad boss she's
00:40:22.820 overhead and she has
00:40:24.260 to earn their trust
00:40:25.160 and respect the only
00:40:27.060 way to do that is to
00:40:28.880 outwork them and what's
00:40:31.000 more humbling than
00:40:31.680 having a girl pass you
00:40:32.620 on the hill I have to
00:40:34.460 tell you they had to
00:40:36.140 have gone crazy on
00:40:37.580 things like that but
00:40:39.060 that's the truth
00:40:40.180 they lost their mind
00:40:42.760 over that one that
00:40:44.180 that actually may have
00:40:45.220 doomed us more than
00:40:46.400 the climate
00:40:46.900 look I'm just dude
00:40:50.040 it's just reality like
00:40:51.260 those of us who live in
00:40:52.220 reality except the
00:40:53.560 simple truth that look
00:40:54.840 if you're 120 pounds
00:40:56.060 your pack weighs 70
00:40:57.100 pounds you got to work
00:40:57.920 three times as hard as
00:40:59.540 someone like me I
00:41:00.100 weigh 230 pounds right
00:41:01.700 it's just reality and
00:41:03.780 the thing is I would
00:41:05.080 think that framing it
00:41:06.060 that way saying that a
00:41:07.280 gal has to work three
00:41:08.320 times harder that's that
00:41:09.840 honors their service
00:41:11.180 but they look at it as
00:41:12.820 like oh no no everyone
00:41:13.720 can do the same thing
00:41:14.460 so if you're saying
00:41:14.940 you have to work three
00:41:15.620 times as hard that
00:41:16.640 means you're demeaning
00:41:17.380 women it's like no it's
00:41:18.340 the opposite that's how
00:41:19.740 upside down woke
00:41:20.760 Hollywood is it's like
00:41:21.720 we really need to
00:41:22.660 everyone in my
00:41:23.680 industry needs to
00:41:24.280 disabuse ourselves of
00:41:25.440 all this like delicate
00:41:26.740 political stuff because
00:41:28.140 normal people watch that
00:41:30.120 clip in particular and
00:41:31.280 just go yeah yeah that
00:41:32.520 sounds right and that
00:41:33.440 is the reality where can
00:41:35.600 you find it now can I
00:41:37.640 just go ahead yeah it
00:41:39.980 we made a website called
00:41:41.320 hotshotmovie.com you can
00:41:43.040 support us directly there
00:41:44.020 but you know if you don't
00:41:45.000 if it's more convenient you
00:41:45.980 don't mind giving Jeff
00:41:46.800 Bezos a pound of flesh it's
00:41:48.080 also on Amazon Google play
00:41:52.100 and voodoo well he's losing
00:41:54.880 so much money with the
00:41:55.820 Washington Post that
00:41:56.760 maybe I don't know maybe
00:41:57.880 you should throw him a
00:41:58.640 bone I don't know I
