00:00:29.660 every day okay can't be done it's different that's why we're special we're special that's why

00:00:36.360 that's why like we know when everyone else was restricted on covid we were able to go to the

00:00:41.400 theater yeah we were able to go to the finest restaurants because we're special people

00:00:45.560 either that or we live in texas oh yeah that's right that's that's what yeah we live in texas

00:00:49.920 uh great show um ron desantis is on uh with us really solid interview with him also we tell you

00:00:58.500 about this tragedy that has happened over several counties here in texas and only one guy was brave

00:01:04.980 enough in the texas legislature to stand up and alert people to this you don't want to miss it in fact

00:01:11.300 we'll begin there on today's podcast

00:01:13.320 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:24.540 we have brian uh slayton on uh he is a uh representative here from the great state of texas

00:01:35.040 uh and he uh informed uh everybody including the federal government of some accident that happened

00:01:42.780 here in texas and i just wanted him to you know tell you himself because it is i've never heard of

00:01:49.200 anything like this uh and it's tragic very tragic brian welcome hello glenn thank you for having me and

00:01:57.040 let me um tell you and your audience about this so uh you know as uh president biden and the atf and

00:02:05.020 others have uh talked about gun control you know gun bans yeah uh making access certain accessories

00:02:12.400 illegal um uh as i talked to people in my district in my own personal beliefs i was uh pretty troubled by

00:02:20.200 that and as we were discussing that more and more people began to tell me uh that they had just

00:02:25.800 you know lost all their firearms ammunition and accessories and a boating accident oh my gosh

00:02:31.560 and so so i decided to inform them that there was a series of alleged boating accidents and

00:02:38.360 hopkins and vandak counties and possibly some others might be your county i'm not sure well i don't know

00:02:44.120 about others in my county but i know i had a horrible boating accident i had man i had a collection of

00:02:50.740 guns and ammunition and it all went down and i don't remember what lake i was in or what county i was in

00:02:55.620 but uh well yeah and that's not important the important thing is that you were affected by it

00:03:00.400 and the next thing is that the federal government you know if they decide to do any gun buyback

00:03:05.120 confiscation or anything like that there's no need to do it in these counties because we don't have any

00:03:11.960 for them to keep up with so okay so um so that's where we're at if this is how they're going to treat

00:03:18.080 the second amendment this is how i will treat their yeah um thoughts yeah now you know did you actually

00:03:26.380 file something with the guard did you just is this just is this just a reporting from a good citizen

00:03:32.700 there on on boating accidents no this is house concurrent resolution number 54 if this passes the

00:03:39.640 house and senate it will be printed on official state parchment paper and sent to the president

00:03:45.040 the speaker of the house and the vice president president of the senate i love you i love

00:03:51.880 well like i said i i come from the school of thought that how you interpret the second amendment

00:04:00.020 shall not be infringed right that's where i come from and it's pretty simple and as they're doing this

00:04:06.080 we we have options we can complain we can write letters we can even get upset and angry but you know

00:04:13.440 they they have so much i would say disrespect towards the constitution and bill of riots

00:04:18.140 that i feel like they deserve some of this and who knows with the president's current mental state

00:04:24.540 he may believe it in this emergency relief money i mean oh my god oh my gosh wait a minute hang on

00:04:30.260 just say what do you mean he may believe it i i mean i did lose mine in a boating accident are you

00:04:35.320 saying there's a chance these boating accidents didn't happen oh i mean we got a great chance here

00:04:42.340 glenn right we really do okay all right because i've been so traumatized by that i haven't been

00:04:46.500 on a boat ever since has there been an investigation as to why so many people are taking their firearms

00:04:50.800 onto boats police are busy you know that is a great question but no one really goes any further

00:04:56.540 uh i don't know if i should say it but it's kind of like if someone tells you that they have

00:05:01.220 explosive diarrhea you do not follow it up with more questions you know someone tells you i've lost all

00:05:07.380 my weapons but you just kind of stop and you're just like man i'm sorry to hear that yeah the

00:05:11.820 tragedy takes over there it does i'm still i mean i'm experiencing a little ptsd just from this

00:05:17.220 this conversation really now yeah i mean i lost them all stew oh no i don't know i don't want to get

00:05:23.500 all weepy over it but i was thinking about suing somebody i just don't know who to sue you know

00:05:28.660 glenn you know the best way to get over the you know mourning of losing a gun is to probably just go

00:05:34.200 buy another one that you also lose in another boating well that's weird because that's exactly

00:05:40.400 what happened oh no yeah i mean yeah again well why did you bring them on the boat the second time

00:05:47.680 though that doesn't make it because i i mean what are the odds they all go down with a boat right you

00:05:53.080 know what i mean you figured you were due to be able to not have an accident way it's going to happen

00:05:57.520 two times lightning doesn't strike twice lottery ticket don't go buy a lottery yeah i know well i'm not

00:06:03.040 and if i if i do win that lottery ticket though i'll probably buy more guns but i will hesitate

00:06:09.040 to get onto a boat with all those guns smart yeah i will hesitate unless you get attacked on a boat

00:06:16.240 then you're gonna wish you had your weapons maybe you should bring them when you should be safe when

00:06:19.540 you propose this what are the odds of this thing passing well um the speaker of the texas house made

00:06:25.180 a democrat chairman of the resolutions committee so we got our work cut out for us oh geez why

00:06:32.240 why why would they do that why would the republicans in texas give committee chairs to the democrats why

00:06:41.880 uh you know it's a great question um i think it just shows how much control the democrats still

00:06:48.580 have over this body even after 20 years um i i think they have a lot of control in picking who our

00:06:55.380 speaker is and i you know i help lead this charge and it's still no matter what we do it's a problem

00:07:01.540 it comes back and um and anyway but we do me a favor just tell the just tell the speaker of the

00:07:09.240 house he should never go boating with me because i'll tell you okay just it could be bad could be

00:07:16.160 bad all right right thank you so much thanks for bringing attention to this yeah tragedy yeah

00:07:21.840 tragedy i'm here for you guys thank you i appreciate it right brian slay slayton a texas state representative

00:07:29.300 this is the best of the glenbeck program this weekend i'm going to see uh governor ron desantis he's

00:07:39.700 going to be at our studios we're taping a podcast uh that will uh air march 13th uh and i i hope to have

00:07:48.000 uh my uh wristband uh ww uh rd what uh d what would ron desantis do um because i

00:07:59.460 hmm that's a little disturbing yeah well i mean we shouldn't elevate our politicians to that

00:08:04.360 particular level no i'm not elevating them to that i my bar is pretty darned yeah no it's true i just

00:08:09.560 want to send them to all 50 governors because i think the florida blueprint i don't know why it's

00:08:15.740 not being copied everywhere especially with the success and track record uh that he has he has

00:08:21.440 a new book out uh it is called the courage to be free and governor ron desantis is with us now

00:08:27.920 hello uh governor how are you sir i'm doing great thanks for having me good how's your wife and

00:08:33.480 children excellent good thanks for asking good um all right i i uh i want to talk to you a little

00:08:40.100 bit about your book which is is not really kind of angst driven there's there's it's not um personal

00:08:48.620 reflections on you know your childhood and oh my gosh i had this this is really just about the

00:08:55.160 blueprint and how you did the things that you did correct yeah i mean i mean look glenn i came into

00:09:03.180 office in 2018 having won by 32 000 votes half a percentage point and people told me hey you're in

00:09:11.080 the typical the perennial swing state you barely got in you don't make waves uh trim your sales a little

00:09:18.260 bit you didn't have such a close election and and i rejected that advice and my view was i may have

00:09:23.480 gotten 50 of the vote but i earned 100 of the executive power and i am going to use that to advance an

00:09:30.280 agenda that's in the best interest of the state of florida and i talk about how i how i did in

00:09:34.840 different ways but but the end result was four years later uh i won re-election by 1.5 million votes

00:09:42.080 uh and we've now turned florida into really the leading red state in america and people don't talk

00:09:49.400 about florida as a swing state so the lesson i think for for other other governors other states you

00:09:54.680 know boldness is your friend if you lead and you're doing what the people want you to do it doesn't

00:10:00.100 matter what the media says about you it doesn't matter what the left says about you people see

00:10:04.600 the results and they respond and it wasn't just republicans that voted for us in 2022 uh we had

00:10:10.420 independent democrats uh and built a huge coalition i think that's replicable in these other states

00:10:16.200 well i personally just i do have to i have one complaint with you and that is you've wrecked the

00:10:21.020 home prices uh in florida for everybody who's outside trying to buy one so um anyway uh the uh when you

00:10:28.840 say you know i have institutional power i have power of uh of the ceo if you will of the state

00:10:35.620 but the thing i like about you and i'd like you to talk about it i know you talk about it in the book

00:10:40.380 you're not being a dictator you're getting these things passed so you're changing laws how did you get

00:10:48.680 the uh the house and the senate to work with you instead of just being a cowboy just blazing a trail

00:10:57.280 and no followers well i point out that you know i get into office i'm the youngest governor in the

00:11:03.300 country 40 years old and you know i had military background but i was a junior officer it's not like

00:11:07.980 i commanded a lot of a lot of sailors um but i've learned from that structure you know i was never

00:11:13.380 like a business executive but i think what i brought to the table was i had an understanding

00:11:17.980 of the pressure points in a constitutional system it's just things that i had studied i had written

00:11:22.620 about and of course i had been in the legislative branch at the federal level uh so i knew there

00:11:27.120 were certain things i could do myself i knew there were certain things that i may need legislative

00:11:32.160 concurrence for but they likely would have to give it based on what i was doing and then there were

00:11:36.740 things i'd have to get the legislature uh to really come on my team for also how do you relate to

00:11:42.180 local government one of the first things i did in florida when i became governor uh changed the

00:11:47.340 election supervisors in south florida got rid of the sheriff of broward county who who bungled the

00:11:52.660 parkland and then later i fired a george soros back prosecutor in tampa and so you have a sense of

00:11:59.560 kind of where you can go so there are things you can do to leverage your institutional power

00:12:04.240 that make it easier to be able to work with the legislature just for example we in florida have a

00:12:09.580 line item veto president of the united states does not have that when it's we're in a legislative

00:12:14.540 session these guys may have some projects they want in the budget well look i mean you know i have

00:12:19.100 discretion about whether i approve them or veto them and you're much more likely to get your projects

00:12:24.320 approved uh if you've been on the team and you're helping us uh fulfill our agenda so that's just one

00:12:29.940 example where you have some ability to shape the battlefield in your favor yeah your book is called the

00:12:38.520 courage to be free and i remember when you started walking out on covid that had to be terrifying and

00:12:47.420 had everybody had to be around you going don't do it you don't know how this is going to work out

00:12:51.560 but you did it where does the courage come from and how can others learn to have that kind of courage

00:13:00.560 because in a situation like covid i mean it was mass hysteria uh but i said look i am the decider

00:13:07.680 uh they elected me they didn't they didn't elect some health bureaucrat to run the state of florida 1.00

00:13:13.300 i've got to make these decisions and i had to familiarize myself with the data and i had do and

00:13:18.240 it was clear to me pretty early on that you know what this fauciism is not right it's not working

00:13:24.400 it's destructive and there's a better path and i did not know how it was going to work out for me

00:13:29.540 politically glenn in fact a lot of my supporters were very concerned i would get phone calls about you

00:13:35.760 why aren't you imposing mass or why aren't why are you letting people you know go to theme parks

00:13:40.560 or all this other stuff uh but i just told myself look my job is to protect the jobs of the people

00:13:46.820 that elected me not to look after my own and if it doesn't work out for me so be it but i will be able

00:13:52.280 to look in that mirror and say you know what uh when when it was hot in the kitchen you know i stood

00:13:57.800 in there and i did what was right for the people of florida now it turned out that people respected that

00:14:03.200 i stood up for them because they didn't have a voice really anywhere else and they ended up rewarding

00:14:08.260 me but certainly in those early weeks and months um you know i was getting filleted more than any

00:14:13.700 governor in the country i i was very popular going into covid i mean i don't do polls but i but everyone

00:14:19.500 said my my popularity plummeted um and that's just the way it is but you know the the when you're

00:14:24.920 in these things the daily kind of back and forth there are ups there are downs but the question is

00:14:30.500 where is true north and are you going to be able to get to true north and i have to just block all

00:14:34.640 that out and do what i thought was right what is your true north well well i think in this case the

00:14:40.900 true north was i could not allow our society in florida to collapse under the weight of fauciism i mean

00:14:48.840 we have a tourism-based economy we had so many people who depended on this state being vibrant i also

00:14:56.060 had a lot of elderly people that we really concerned about and we did a lot to target whatever

00:15:00.200 support they needed such as treatments and the like uh to do that uh but we had to keep things

00:15:06.160 going i understood that um instinctively and we had to navigate very treacherous waters uh to be able

00:15:12.620 to get that done now beyond that i mean what is true north i mean when i talk about the courage to be

00:15:16.780 free what i'm what i'm recognizing is are the threats to our freedom are not just from bad government

00:15:23.580 policy yes at the state level we are doing good policy we're protecting your freedom from the

00:15:28.060 government of florida and that's important we're fighting back against biden and we're dealing with

00:15:32.480 local governments when they get out of control very important but there's a lot of power being

00:15:36.320 exercised in an ideological way by corporate america by big tech by all these other institutions

00:15:42.480 and so when you recognize that and you stand up to fight against it they are not going down without a

00:15:48.340 fight they come at you uh leadership is not cost free so you just have to understand that when you're

00:15:54.100 going in that these are not easy fights uh that you are going to face blowback you're going to face smears

00:15:59.700 but if you stand in there uh and you don't give an inch and you just keep speaking the truth

00:16:05.440 people will respond and they will have your back and that's what happened in the state of florida

00:16:10.480 you know the media could say by the time i i came up for religion the media could say whatever

00:16:15.060 they wanted about me and our supporters did not believe a word of it right they had my back and

00:16:19.920 they made sure that we want a historic victory let me ask you you know you in politics people care

00:16:26.960 much less about the individual than they do the giant corporations because it's easier to raise money

00:16:33.480 uh and you need those guys on on board you have taken all of the sacred cows and gone after them

00:16:41.060 and you have also just you have the best legislation i wish i wish every state in the union would pass

00:16:48.720 your legislation on esg it is the best and uh you've taken this on you've taken disney on

00:16:57.080 where do you get your support just from the people or do you have uh institutional support

00:17:06.880 are there people inside these institutions that are saying oh thank god yeah look i mean i think that

00:17:14.940 when when we're talking about things like esg we are also in this legislative session we're going

00:17:20.040 to eliminate the dei bureaucracies and all of our state universities and there's a lot of democrats

00:17:25.140 glenn they can't say it but they don't like some of this stuff that's coming down the pipe they don't

00:17:30.320 want their kid to have to uh potentially suffer negative consequences based on the color of their

00:17:35.500 skin so so there is some there is some quiet support but you know what i found in terms of like

00:17:40.240 stand it up to the big interest is at the end of because some politicians are like oh man i need

00:17:45.160 to raise money from them i need this they're going to come after me all this stuff at the end of the

00:17:49.360 day doing the good policy exercising the leadership to deliver the results that is more important than

00:17:55.580 any campaign of financial support or any of that uh you know sometimes these these elected officials

00:18:01.880 they think like okay i get in office and i need to raise money so i stay in office you don't need to

00:18:07.320 do that if you're doing a good job then when the money comes in against you it doesn't work because

00:18:12.520 people see the results and oh by the way even though i came into office uh standing up against

00:18:17.740 big sugar which is a massively powerful uh interest in florida we fought disney we fought the

00:18:23.300 pharmaceuticals we fought across the board i still raise more money than any governor candidate in the

00:18:28.900 history of florida part of it we have a lot of grassroots part of it we had a lot of wealth moving

00:18:33.000 into florida who basically said i need to sanus to be governor because if i just left new york or

00:18:37.740 illinois i don't want to see florida turn into that so there was a reason why they did it but then glenn

00:18:42.400 what happened is i flipped it around we run the show we run the agenda some of these these businesses

00:18:49.140 and stuff they just want to they want to help me out because you know they don't want to be the next

00:18:53.300 disney and so i think we've got it going in a good direction that's the way it should be

00:18:57.780 don't be subservient to the chamber of commerce they should be coming to you asking you how they

00:19:03.680 can help you not the other way around um i'm not saying that you're running for president but i'm not

00:19:09.660 not saying that either um if someone like you were to run for president could this be done on a national

00:19:15.980 level so i think all the ideas uh that we talk about in the book and the successes we have i do think

00:19:23.260 there's a majority of the american people uh that would support it i mean you think about it florida

00:19:28.000 has been a microcosm of the country for a long time you know we're winning places like miami-dade

00:19:32.500 county you know that's going to bode well for for other parts of the country now if you talk about at

00:19:39.060 the federal level there are certain things that may be easier actually to do because i think that with

00:19:43.660 the vast administrative state if you have a determined executive uh who knows how to use those levers of

00:19:49.560 power i think you could do a complete upheaval of the deep state i think there's a lot of things you

00:19:55.680 could do from executive and administratively that will really get our country on a good footing now

00:20:01.380 dealing with the congress is a little bit different than dealing with a state legislature i mean most of

00:20:06.180 the citizens of florida don't know their legislatures that much they know me so what they want the

00:20:11.060 republican voters like you better be supporting the governor you know as you get into washington some of

00:20:15.020 these guys you know have their own brands and all that and i'm not saying it can't be done

00:20:18.500 but you got to go into that with a with the right frame of mind and okay you know how do you corral

00:20:23.800 these guys to be able to land uh really important legislative but you got to do both you can't just

00:20:29.400 be successful on executive action and ignore the legislative and if you're successful on legislative

00:20:35.000 you can't be somebody that's not willing uh to really go in and upend this entrenched uh highly

00:20:41.880 politicized bureaucracy that's developed governor ron de santis the name of the book it came out

00:20:46.540 yesterday already number one the courage to be free authored and this is very rare authored by him

00:20:52.860 every word authored by him uh and uh we will see you saturday sir i have a lot more to a lot more to

00:20:59.800 talk to you about uh and we'll do that podcast on saturday we'll see you then okay godspeed thank you

00:21:05.140 the best of the glenn beck program

00:21:11.300 welcome to the uh glenn beck program we're uh glad you're here hey there's a couple of really

00:21:22.420 exciting things happening in washington uh the fcc the federal communications commission which uh

00:21:28.580 uh is responsible for for setting community standards and enforcing uh you know laws that

00:21:39.280 keep me from saying certain things and certain words on uh a broadcast this does not cover cable or

00:21:47.460 clearly podcast just radio and television uh programs um we're getting a a new uh nominee there

00:21:55.940 for the fcc uh name is uh gg soan and uh i like her i like her i like her a lot really oh that's

00:22:06.440 good that's positive you know during the george floyd riots uh she was on the radio and she was asked

00:22:11.960 you know what do we have to do to elevate all of this and uh she said what do we need what do we need

00:22:19.280 i'm quoting we need a truth and reconciliation commission and i thought to myself amen sister

00:22:26.240 amen that's what we need we need we need to reconcile with the truth she said we need to do

00:22:33.880 what they did in south africa you know i was lucky enough to be uh in south africa after apartheid

00:22:40.000 broke and you know it was right when south african president nelson mandela was in charge and

00:22:45.200 it was fascinating to see a city that had been torn asunder trying to come back together again

00:22:49.740 i i think that's what we need i i think we need to come to a common understanding of what the truth

00:22:55.220 is right end quote yes see this why i like her because we're on the same page we both think we

00:23:02.560 need to reconcile with the truth she said you know we also you know we look mitch mcconnell said the way

00:23:10.080 we atone for original sin was by electing barack obama huh that guy we got to get rid of that guy

00:23:17.260 see another reason i like i mean i agree with barack obama and mitch mcconnell uh she said uh i mean we

00:23:24.340 have to have a real conversation about you know about race relations in this country we haven't had

00:23:29.620 enough oh we haven't had enough finally glenn yeah how long have we been needing to start a national

00:23:37.880 conversation about race because we've never discussed it before we've never discussed no one

00:23:42.460 has ever brought it up no amen and every time something happens in this country colin kaepernick

00:23:47.520 well maybe you could count colin he brought it up but you know people just ignored him yeah no one

00:23:53.640 would talk about his incident no no one would talk about him taking a knee no one would obsess

00:23:58.240 about it constantly on every television show for months and months and months at a time right

00:24:02.140 and what we need in this country is a not a conversation but a national conversation about

00:24:10.100 race more time spent talking about it we need a real national conversation a real national

00:24:17.800 conversation yeah why don't we spend more time talking about skin color i will tell you why because

00:24:23.780 she she says but that's not going to happen because it won't because we've lost the meaning of truth

00:24:30.780 yeah we've lost what is true in this country about everything i mean the fact that there are still

00:24:37.000 people in significant numbers who won't wear a gd mask which said that uh you know it's in you're not

00:24:45.840 wearing a mask in a public place it's it's just unbelievable but there's one party only one party

00:24:52.100 that doesn't care about the truth and uh i think that's the first thing that joe biden if if he gets

00:24:59.440 elected he needs to have a truth and reconciliation commission you know and have people come and

00:25:05.440 speak and talk about you know their experience and what is true and what is not so she's going to uh

00:25:12.020 be overseeing the fcc which i think is great oh that's true how many times have we heard people say

00:25:19.980 that oh we need a national conversation i'm so sick of the national conversation we don't need a

00:25:24.780 conversation everybody i don't care who you voted for 90 only about 10 of crackpots on either side

00:25:32.520 okay those people are the ones currently in charge everybody else doesn't need a conversation we got

00:25:40.660 it we got it we got it yeah it's so true like laurie lightfoot lost we haven't talked about that

00:25:47.180 what yeah they did one of those things where you had to be in the top two she finished in third place 0.87

00:25:50.800 she's out how could that possibly have happened again we've never had a national conversation

00:25:55.460 about race right right so which is weird because i will ask you right now what she's blaming the

00:25:59.820 loss on and and you will know the answer race even though we haven't had a national conversation

00:26:04.200 about race how is that possible how would you know the answer to that speaking the truth oh that's 0.99

00:26:08.980 right because she's speaking the truth we're liars so i immediately go well she's probably speaking

00:26:13.520 the truth it's about white people yeah tubed her the houston texans nfl franchise of course you know

00:26:18.820 all the details of this but let me bore the audience or let me go through the audience and

00:26:22.080 bore you with the story on here because you'll remember up on the uh houston texans so they have

00:26:27.940 a really terrible year they hire a black coach why what have what's the discourse in the nfl espn all

00:26:33.300 these places oh well they of course they give that job to a black coach because it's a terrible team 1.00

00:26:40.420 so they go okay right all right hiring a black coach now bad because they're a terrible team and 1.00

00:26:46.200 you're screwing over the black coach now huh he goes through a year of coaching the team sucks 1.00

00:26:51.200 he gets fired what's the discourse of course they fire the black coach because they're racist then 1.00

00:26:59.200 they hire they hire a black coach right i thought and he goes through a year and they suck again and 1.00

00:27:05.280 they fire the coach and guess what they say i can't believe they fire a black coach they're racists 0.99

00:27:11.280 and then once again they hire a black coach this is a franchise that has hired three consecutive 0.98

00:27:20.260 black coaches in a country where 12 of the population is black and yet they're racists 0.71

00:27:25.960 but we just haven't had a national conversation about race that would solve all this glad you're 0.96

00:27:32.700 finally getting it i'm glad you finally are getting by the way you're reading let me just take a quick

00:27:38.940 moment for this uh public service announcement cut one please have you ever boarded a plane and

00:27:59.700 i hope the police department hit its equity goals for the year if your answer to these questions was

00:28:06.300 no if you just wanted the most qualified candidates for the job then you are normal but we have a lot

00:28:13.720 of very not normal people running america these days left-wing politicians believe skin color or gender

00:28:20.580 identity should determine who gets the job democrats used to care about the middle class now they just care

00:28:28.300 about your race and your gender and as long as democrats stay in power it will just keep getting

00:28:34.980 worse stop the bigotry stop the insanity paid for by citizens for sanity i love the fact that they say

00:28:44.660 stop the bigotry yeah because that's what it is it is that is what we're talking about here yes it is

00:28:50.920 you know in a way we do need a conversation about race it just needs to be totally different

00:28:54.040 you know we need to let me give you a conversation about race that we do need this is from a few 0.83

00:28:58.500 years ago uh actor morgan freeman you may identify him as black i don't know how he identifies

00:29:04.300 himself but this is morgan freeman on 60 minutes talking about black history month history month you

00:30:08.800 that we need that put into the veins of every citizen in this country right now that attitude

00:30:15.600 is exactly what solves this problem and we had gone such a long way to solving it until the left

00:30:23.480 decided to rip rip us out of the jaws of victory and deliver us to the agony of defeat can we go

00:30:30.800 through something real quick you and i did this earlier this morning uh before we were on the air

00:30:35.240 can we just go through what is the cause of all of the strife of all of these problems what is the

00:30:41.760 cause is it america is it american history let's let's just look at the most where the most turmoil

00:30:49.300 comes from look at the last 10 years how many absolute crisis have we that seems like a ton over and

00:30:58.320 over and over again it's a national embarrassment crisis whatever before 2010 it was 2008 the banking

00:31:07.420 crisis before then it was 2001 the 9 11 9 11 before that it was gulf war gulf war the first gulf war

00:31:18.600 1990 yeah and then it was probably before that the real crisis when we thought we'd be vaporized

00:31:25.100 under reagan in cold war 82 or 80 81 or 82 and that was sort of right on the heels and right in the

00:31:33.080 middle of the inflation uh debacle and the the after uh after effects of carter correct okay and that

00:31:41.460 came on the heels of watergate which came on the heels of assassinations assassination of of three

00:31:51.760 you know three major people in a decade think of from this time period then the next time period you

00:31:59.200 find like this is in the 1960s everything's on fire everything is on fire 1950s it wasn't like that

00:32:08.100 1940s we were putting the fire out the 1930s under fdr everything was on fire everything

00:32:16.080 okay let's go before that then it was the roaring 20s had its scandals etc but wasn't bad until who

00:32:24.360 the progressive which are wilson everything was on fire there is a pattern here when you put 0.97

00:32:32.320 progressives in charge they are so damn crazy they set the country on fire every time every time 0.50

00:32:42.940 i mean i just know and they don't seem to learn the lesson no i mean you know in the 1950s we had 0.98

00:32:51.900 mccarthy horrible horrible part of it was true but what the what the uh committee of un-american

00:32:59.760 activities did was horrible okay i know not to do that anymore to communists i don't want to do that

00:33:06.880 i don't want to wear bring out your communists but they haven't learned that lesson it happened to them

00:33:12.540 they haven't learned that lesson they learned a lesson from it yeah they learned how to apply it

00:33:17.080 to their enemies exactly right which is exactly the opposite of what christ was taught would talk

00:33:23.060 that would teach he would teach love thy neighbor as thyself vengeance is mine says the lord

00:33:32.080 these guys vengeance belongs to them and the only way to heal is treat you the way you treated me

00:33:39.920 it's an antichrist movement
