We spent a lot of time thinking about, you know, and talking about courage in this country.
00:00:19.480
We need the courage to stand up, the courage to speak out, the courage to defend what we believe.
00:00:30.000
But most courage doesn't look like a microphone or a protest sign.
00:00:35.280
It's deciding even that small, boring, everyday detail that matters, you know.
00:00:43.020
One of them is, I'm not going to participate in things that undercut my values.
00:00:47.040

I'm going to tell you what happened yesterday with Christy Noem and the president.
00:03:13.160
I've got a different, I think a different spin on both of those things than I think what you're getting elsewhere.
00:03:18.460
Also, big, big, big, big, big, big, big news on oil prices.
00:03:26.600
They're not spiking, and I'll tell you why they're not spiking.
00:03:32.080
Why are oil prices not spiking when they're saying that the Straits of Ormuz is going to be shut down?
00:03:37.780
oil per barrel should be going through the roof there's a reason why and i'll explain that coming
00:03:43.300
up and what all of this means uh especially this weekend i think we're going to see some more
00:03:48.480
things happening this weekend maybe i'm wrong but we'll see we're going to start with christy
00:03:53.260
next first let me tell you about uh our sponsor it's pre-born you know if you listen how our
00:03:58.940
culture talks about big decisions there's always assumption that you know people make them calmly
00:04:03.120
and rationally with plenty of time to think that's not us at all we are so mcdonald's in our
00:04:07.960
thinking all the time what's next who's next pull a number real life is messy it's emotional it's fast
00:04:14.560
and sometimes sometimes people find themselves facing a situation they never expected fear
00:04:20.220
confusion crowding everything in before they've had a time to really even process what is happening
00:04:25.320
and that's the kind of moment that pre-born clinics exist for when a woman is facing an unplanned
00:04:30.540
pregnancy everything can feel overwhelming and a little terrifying and there's lots and lots of
00:04:35.780
voices and opinions and pressure about what she should do next or could do next pre-born clinics
00:04:40.760
slow that moment down they provide free ultrasound so a woman can see her baby ask questions and have a
00:04:46.000
chance to think clearly about what comes next in an environment that's supportive compassionate
00:04:49.980
and free of judgment uh just 28 provides one ultrasound every dollar helps save babies and uh and

00:05:12.840
all right so let me uh hello thank you for listening let me start with um christy gnome what happened
00:05:22.540
yesterday something happened in washington looked a little like chaos looked like uh-oh trouble
00:05:27.180
and i'm not sure maybe it is i'm not sure uh christy gnome is out as a department of homeland
00:05:34.000
security secretary and in her place a guy named senator mullen now let me start with gnome
00:05:40.160
she wasn't fired she was moved and she was moved into something there was like what the hell is that
00:05:48.040
i've never even heard of that doesn't even fully exist yet it's a position called the special envoy
00:05:54.140
for the shield of the americas we are going all marvel comic i mean this guy is all marvel comic
00:06:03.900
okay let me translate what this usually means in washington and may mean this time i mean what i'm
00:06:10.500
going to give you here is spec going to give you facts and then i'm going to speculate on them so
00:06:14.640
you know take it for what it's worth when a president moves somebody into a job that hasn't been fully
00:06:20.180
defined yet it usually means one of two things either a yeah buh-bye you're being pushed aside
00:06:26.760
or b you're being moved in to run something that is bigger but isn't public yet okay and if you look
00:06:36.820
at the timing this doesn't feel like a demotion and i'm i'm getting mixed signals because some things
00:06:43.380
it looks like donald trump is pissed at her about etc etc so i really don't know because this is
00:06:48.500
speculation but it feels like a reorganization of the battlefield because it's the shield of the
00:06:56.800
americas i know that doesn't mean anything but follow me on this right now the united states
00:07:02.140
is looking at a hemisphere and a hemisphere problem that most americans still don't fully understand or see
00:07:10.700
when donald trump was running and i've told you this before but it's worth repeating um when
00:07:16.660
donald trump was running for re-election we were standing backstage someplace and he was getting ready
00:07:20.960
to go on he said you want to look like a prophet you know what you need to talk about you just keep
00:07:25.560
talking about panama and i'm like right and then he goes on stage and i'm like what am i going to say
00:07:33.120
about panama what does that mean i don't even know what that means panama is going to be in news
00:07:37.140
everywhere next year and then he walks on stage and i came back and i went does anybody understand
00:07:42.940
what he's talking about with panama what's happening in panama we all looked at each other like nothing
00:07:46.360
is happening with panama what are you talking about remember when he gets in what does he say
00:07:50.360
panama we want the panama canal back and you're like what what where is this coming from because he
00:07:57.280
understood what was happening with panama and china china had taken the entire panama canal and was
00:08:04.540
controlling it then what happens he starts talking about greenland also in our hemisphere then what
00:08:11.640
happens he's talking and making moves on venezuela then what happens he's talking about you know who's
00:08:18.400
next cuba okay whoo cuba russia cartels operating like parallel governments across mexico and central
00:08:31.360
america chinese ports being built all over latin america russian intelligence operating out of
00:08:38.440
caracas iranian proxies using the region for logistics and staging grounds and every other president has
00:08:46.600
treated latin america like an afterthought but now now what's happening it's not an afterthought
00:08:54.220
anymore the southern hemisphere has become the the new front line of great power competition he is declaring
00:09:03.320
the western hemisphere is ours okay and dhs the department of homeland security was not designed for that
00:09:11.860
dhs created after 9-11 and that's a whole different can of worms and we can get into that some other time
00:09:17.980
but it was built to stop terrorism inside of the united states at our airports at our borders
00:09:23.400
disaster response blah blah blah but what the president is doing now is different and different
00:09:30.200
than any other president has done probably since theodore roosevelt okay this is hemisphere level
00:09:37.000
instability we have the migration waves we have state collapse we have cartels that are moving people
00:09:44.000
and drugs and weapons and intelligence we have foreign adversaries embedding themselves inside of all of
00:09:51.020
that chaos so if you're the president and you're looking at the world and you're saying we have got to shore
00:09:57.340
up america to make sure we last another 150 250 years 100 another 150 minutes at times i feel like
00:10:06.960
you don't just run border patrol you build a hemisphere defense system you make sure that our darkest russia
0.98
00:10:17.500
china iran are not running operations in this hemisphere okay which may explain the phrase shield of the
00:10:29.000
americas think about the name it's not border control it's not immigration enforcement it's a shield
00:10:36.100
of the americas of the americas the entire western hemisphere that doesn't sound like dhs that sounds more
00:10:45.280
like strategic security architecture for the western hemisphere doesn't it or he's just been watching
00:10:51.540
caramel i mean marvel comics okay but to me the shield for americas the americas sounds a little bit
00:11:14.760
and if that's what's being built you would need somebody who understands a few things border security
00:11:21.660
state governments law enforcement and migration policy
00:11:25.740
well i mean in that christy gnome i mean that's her entire resume isn't it
00:11:30.260
so the story may not be gnome fired on the outs the story might be gnome redeployed
00:11:41.260
now let me talk about the second half of this move because while she goes outward to whatever is
0.93
00:11:50.080
coming next and the president said he's going to be talking about that this weekend trump brought
00:11:55.200
somebody inward senator mullen who is senator mullen he's a former mma fighter he's a business owner
00:12:04.040
he's a senator and he's controversial some critics inside uh mega circles some of them accuse him of being
00:12:14.100
to establishment uh he has done things like business loans during covid uh he's got ethics complaints
00:12:22.060
he votes you know against mega sometimes fine okay not my favorite but debate is healthy and the real
00:12:33.080
question is not personality it is function if the white house is creating a new western hemisphere
00:12:39.660
security structure then dhs is about to become something different not a political platform
00:12:47.560
not a messaging department but an operational machine master deportations continue border enforcement
00:12:56.340
domestic security logistics and mullen love him or hate him has a reputation in washington
00:13:02.640
as somebody who picks fights and then executes orders that's what donald trump wants
00:13:09.040
a fighter who can execute what he orders okay that's his resume and that's that tells me something
00:13:17.160
important this may not be a personnel shake-up it may be the move in a larger security strategy
00:13:25.080
and a strategy built around the simple realization that for the next 20 years america's biggest threats
00:13:32.660
may not come across the ocean they may come across our own hemisphere
00:13:38.560
think of mexico and if that is true then the united states may be about to build something we
00:13:47.060
haven't had since the cold war a continental defense doctrine for the americas and if that's what
00:13:55.700
shield of the americas turns out to be yesterday was not a firing yesterday was the first chess move
00:14:04.440
on a board none of us have been thinking about all right more in a second let me tell you about our
00:14:10.860
sponsor this half hour it's the international fellowship of christians and jews the news lately
00:14:15.820
has been full of big global headlines missiles airstrikes warships world leaders making decisions that are
00:14:21.600
sending shockwaves all across the middle east right now the united states and israel are working side
00:14:25.940
by side in a major conflict with iran and if you watch coverage like this uh it's easy to think
00:14:31.960
think only in terms of strategy and alliances and military power but there's another side
00:14:36.680
um that doesn't make the headlines very often the ordinary people who wake up every morning in israel
00:14:41.820
surrounding and surrounding areas trying to live normal lives in a part of the world that has
00:14:46.920
rarely been normal families who live with sirens and shelters as part of daily life communities that
00:14:54.220
continue to hold on to their faith and their traditions even when the world when the world
00:14:57.980
around them despises them and the world feels unstable that's where the international fellowship
00:15:03.820
of christians and jews comes in for decades they've been providing food and medicine and life-saving
00:15:09.100
support to vulnerable jewish communities in israel especially in times of crisis now is your time
00:15:15.160

00:15:34.060
so oil prices are not spiking but they are rising jason do you want to jason buttrell thanks for filling in
00:15:52.100
for me yesterday appreciate it sure um the uh oil prices have gone up about uh what 11 a barrel
00:16:01.400
overnight you want to show us the chart and what's going on so oh yeah this is this is producer matt
00:16:08.120
throw this up really quick this is where oil prices are right now so this is they're they're right
00:16:12.700
around 87 28 as of now it's it's fluctuating but this is a kind of a sharp increase from from
00:16:18.540
yesterday uh well going back to march 2nd they were at 70 yesterday they were still around 75 73 75
00:16:25.640
so over the past 24 to 48 hours we've seen a pretty big uptick there was a i closed it now but there
00:16:33.240
was a cnbc article um talking about how iran is still targeting uh multiple different tankers within
00:16:39.560
the straits of hormuz they described it as currently a standstill within the strait of hormuz as as far as
00:16:46.140
tanker traffic is concerned so i i think a lot of people would kind of argue whether that it's
00:16:51.200
actually closed right now but in terms of actual traffic going through the look and feel of it right
00:16:56.460
now is that it's closed so here's the here's the thing first of all the president is never going to
00:17:03.760
allow them to close it uh i think you will see a uh a wave of strikes um on their navy i think you know
00:17:12.780
at some point he's really going to concentrate i know they've been doing that but really concentrating
00:17:17.540
on the straits of hormuz because it cannot shut it down that that will cause massive disruptions
00:17:23.780
everywhere now a little slowdown may not be bad and let me explain who gets the majority of their oil
00:17:34.720
through the straits of hormuz it's china china has just stopped running their i mean for the first
00:17:42.340
time in how long jason have they been running you know air drills over taiwan and doing dog fights and
00:17:48.900
everything else all just to intimidate taiwan they've been doing this for a long long time
00:17:54.600
they just stopped they haven't been doing those for the last few days
00:17:58.800
now there's two reasons that might cause this one they're looking and saying don't cause any
00:18:07.020
attention let's not bring the eyes of donald trump towards us i don't think that's the reason i think
00:18:12.920
the reason goes to oil they are starting to hoard oil they're taking all of their oil that they can
00:18:20.260
get and they're hoarding it they are just guarding it like nobody's tomorrow because they know they may not
00:18:26.920
have oil tomorrow uh and so i think they're saving they're saving fuel right now by not doing
00:18:34.700
the uh taiwan dog fights which is a really big deal and very telling on how close to the edge they
00:18:42.140
just might be with oil yeah and can i add to that a little bit because china doing these air incursions
0.62
00:18:49.060
into taiwan's airspace has been a very big part of their overall strategy to eventually launch an
00:18:54.640
operation on taiwan and part of that was just normalizing the idea that there's always going
00:18:59.640
to be chinese aircraft in your airspace so later on down the line when they finally do decide to do
00:19:04.760
this attack it's going to be masked you know the the people of taiwan the military are not going to
00:19:09.820
know is this the attack or is this just more of the same the fact that they're cutting that off right
00:19:13.980
now means either it probably it's probably a combination of the two as you laid out but one they don't
00:19:20.560
really have the fuel to go around willy-nilly doing this kind of thing but also there are strategic
00:19:26.180
objectives all over the world are kind of thrown in flux right now i don't think they really know
00:19:31.620
what to do but attacking taiwan is not one of those things they can do in the near future which is pretty
00:19:37.580
wild to see so again this goes to why did the president go into iraq i mean i'm sorry into iran
00:19:48.660
he went into iran yes because we can't afford to have nuclear missiles and also we need to stop
00:19:57.180
the terror they are the head of the snake of terror but they also provide russia with all of the drones
0.98
00:20:03.040
and a lot of the oil from uh iran goes to china this guy is again think of him you know the old
00:20:14.200
saying you know kill two birds with one stone i really think donald trump is so strategic he kills
00:20:19.860
about 45 birds with one stone it's like he skips rocks and just is knocking birds out all over the
00:20:27.060
planet 46 because he actually killed the iranian who plotted to assassinate him really yes in this
00:20:34.780
mission wow you know just okay just yeah just a bonus little an extra little skip there at the end
00:20:40.060
um so the best thing the reason why usually if they were going to close the straits if somebody
00:20:47.360
they were threatening to close it and they were war you would see oil spike much higher than this
00:20:53.660
much much higher than this why isn't it one of the reasons again maybe um what donald trump did
00:21:03.880
with insurance the reason why oil spikes in a war is because all of the insurance companies say
00:21:11.640
that's a war zone we're no longer going to insure that oil or that that ship and so without insurance
00:21:17.920
you're not moving that thing okay because everybody's like i'm not risking that much money
00:21:21.660
and so everything stops donald trump came out a couple of days ago and he said
00:21:26.660
united states will underwrite the insurance for those ships that's a big deal and we will escort
00:21:34.160
those ships we will make sure those ships do not stop in the straits of our moves so we're we're
00:21:42.220
saying the navy is going to protect all of the oil that is moving out now it's interesting that
00:21:48.400
again there's such a slowdown that cnbc calls it a virtual shutdown that nothing is moving right now
00:21:54.700
with this but the reason why oil isn't spiking is i believe the world believes that donald trump
00:22:02.680
is on this and not going to let that oil sit there and uh he's not going to let insurance companies
00:22:11.300
stop the world from moving forward it is a i mean he plays such risky games and such high stakes games
00:22:20.500
i mean i don't know how i don't know how he honestly how he's walking around you know how
00:22:25.880
presidents age like 400 years in four years i have not seen this guy age like normally happens after
00:22:35.140
remember this has been a 16 year run for him okay or not 16 yeah eight a 10 year run 10 year run for
00:22:43.600
him so far um you know it's not eight it's 10 and he's still a ways away from finishing so he's he's
00:22:50.700
actually kind of been in this spotlight for three terms by the end of this you see barack obama at
00:22:57.740
the beginning of his first term the end of his first term he's gray he looks different and i know
00:23:02.620
donald trump dies his hair i think he does um but still what this guy has done compared to every
00:23:09.720
other president just the pace of it i don't know how i mean i think i'd be dead i don't know i don't
00:23:16.740
think i could do it this guy just has the greatest genes of all time all right some perspective uh next
00:23:24.840
on ken paxton and what happened yesterday with ken paxton that's coming up in just a minute stand by
00:23:34.460

00:23:47.300
you know ready for a walk ready for a game ready to do whatever you're doing when a dog starts slowing
00:23:52.380
down you notice that just as quickly maybe they're not as eager to run after the ball or they take a
00:23:59.120
little longer to get up in the morning a lot of times that comes down to nutrition not all the time

just hear him say these things you know he wrote this state i love won three times in record numbers
00:25:40.660
highest vote ever recorded by far uh cannot for the good of the party in our country itself be allowed
00:25:48.300
to go on any longer it must stop now we have an easy to beat radical left opponent and we have to
00:25:55.980
totally focus on putting him away quickly and decisively both john and ken ran great races but
00:26:03.220
not good enough now this one must be perfect my endorsement within the republican party have been
00:26:09.100
virtually insurmountable it has been virtually nobody thought it could be done uh it is such an honor
00:26:15.960
to realize and say that almost everyone i endorse wins and wins by a lot especially in texas i will
00:26:23.800
be making my endorsement soon and i'll be asking the candidate that i don't endorse to immediately drop
00:26:28.760
out of the race is that fair we must win in november thank you for your attention to this matter
00:26:33.980
president donald j trump okay so he made that yesterday and then ken paxton did something you
00:26:39.560
almost never see in modern politics he put policy above position and he saw that and he said okay
00:26:48.000
i will step aside if senate leadership will lift the filibuster barrier and pass the save america act
00:26:57.840
he said i'll do it for the good of our country and to advance president trump's agenda okay so donald trump
00:27:06.120
wants the save america act ken paxton said i will drop out and give you the other thing you want i'll leave
00:27:16.200
but i want something in return and it's not a job it's not a position i want uh cornyn and senate
00:27:25.660
leadership to then pass the save america act now here's why it matters and if you're serious about
00:27:34.060
saving the republic you should be paying attention here this isn't a deal it's a test and it's a test
00:27:41.580
of motives it's so brilliant most dropout conversations in politics sound something like this
00:27:47.800
well what do i get i get a job a title a payday a pardon a favor what am i getting and that's the kind
00:27:56.580
of transactional politics that we see over and over and over again people floating withdrawal or
00:28:00.940
endorsement in exchange for a role right what paxton is offering is categorically different
00:28:08.620
no personal prize on the table that we know of only a measurable outcome for the country
00:28:15.800
i believe this is a noble gesture and not because i'm asking you to like ken paxton or anything else and
00:28:25.020
not because i you know i'm asking you to hate john cornyn i don't think you need any i don't do you need
0.54
00:28:30.120
anybody to ask you to hate john cornyn to hate him more than you already do what i'm asking you is
00:28:35.140
to recognize the moral structure of what just happened personal ambition gets put on a scale
00:28:42.820
national necessity gets put on the other side of that scale and paxton is saying if you do the
00:28:51.460
necessary thing i'll pay for it i'll absorb the cost in a time where everyone is known for doing just
00:29:01.140
what's good for them it's a rare move a rare move that says fine hold me to a standard but i'm going
00:29:10.400
to hold you to one two now i'm not saying that ken is pure as a driven snow i'm sure you know i you
00:29:21.700
do the right thing and doors open for you but this is really a test of cornyn because if cornyn wants
00:29:30.880
to make this go away if the senate wants to make this go away all he has to do is say okay we'll pass
00:29:40.200
the save america act and all that donald trump has to do is say ken great idea john you're going to do
00:29:48.660
that right you're going to go right into car in fact i'm going to take ken up but if you fail to pass
00:29:57.240
that you and your senate cronies guess who i'm endorsing that's the way this should be done now
00:30:05.660
for any anybody who has friends that don't know what the save america act is it's the proof of id
00:30:10.980
i mean first you have to approve your citizenship you know when you're registering to votes like you
00:30:16.720
have to in states like texas and florida and most other places but it also requires a photo id that
00:30:22.840
you'll need to allow you to vote that is something that has 80 percent approval rating nationwide even
00:30:29.940
with democrats it's over 70 percent this is i can't say this enough this is the only bill i have seen
00:30:36.820
in what 30 years that has a chance of unifying this country we haven't been unified since right after
00:30:45.500
9 11 after 9 11 we were unified and then it just all broke to hell and we can't we cannot agree on
00:30:53.640
the color of the sky and yet this one we're almost in lockstep that's as close to lockstep as politics
00:31:02.900
ever gets okay why because everybody knows if citizenship is meaningless at the ballot box then
00:31:10.980
citizenship becomes meaningless everywhere else and look how meaningless citizenship is in our country
00:31:17.280
right now and if the vote isn't trusted then nothing that follows is stable the courts the laws the
00:31:24.360
budgets the wars peace any of it okay that's why trump is demanding and i'm quoting republicans pass it
00:31:33.960
with passion and not watered down wow this is a gift from ken paxton to the president this is an absolute gift
00:31:47.960
i am giving you the leverage you need that you want now here's a hard part that democrat the democrats are
00:31:57.180
are uh you know struggling with i think and really republicans are with john cornyn what if the guy who
00:32:08.940
okay let me do something that drives everybody crazy in 2026 i'm going to think out loud like a free man
00:32:18.960
instead of joining a tribe let me take on that that problem with republicans like john cornyn okay
00:32:26.920
do you do you do this i mean it's john cornyn i'm just going to tell you how i feel i don't like john
00:32:35.100
cornyn at all i think he's been part of the washington machinery for far too long i think he's been wrong
00:32:40.900
too often when the moment demanded backbone he has stood against the trump agenda over and over and over
00:32:48.800
and over and i think he's truly part of the problem that's my judgment that's how i feel
00:32:52.700
but here is the question that we should ask in this moment if a man you distrust will do something
00:33:03.740
your children desperately need and they do it the way you're asking them to do it what was it with
00:33:10.360
passion and without compromise do you reject it because you distrust the man
00:33:16.140
that's not principle if you do that's ego dressed up as principle paxton just short-circuited all of
00:33:27.640
this he just laid down a moral challenge not just cornyn but to everyone watching here's the question
00:33:34.160
are you here to win or are you here to save the nation
00:33:42.960
if cornyn would make that commitment publicly specifically and then actually follow through
00:33:54.980
not by supporting it in press releases while it quietly is allowed to die not by jamming it full
00:34:01.880
of amendments that weaken the core not by turning it into washington soup but helping it get helping it
00:34:08.540
get done the way trump is calling for oh then yes he would buy a good enough goodwill with me that i
00:34:17.580
would hold my nose and accept him as the nominee and vote for him because we can't have the other guy
00:34:22.560
in but i would not be happy about it and i wouldn't suddenly believe oh my gosh he's a changed man he's a
00:34:29.340
great guy but in in an emergency triage has to come before remodeling you know i mean and while i can't vote
00:34:42.460
for him as it continues to feed the deep state republican machine i can do it for this this is a much bigger
00:34:53.300
principle i mean so hard everything is on fire right now the deep state is a real problem it's a real
00:35:00.820
problem but if we don't pass the save america act we'll never get to the problem of the deep state
00:35:08.180
okay but he has to make this deal and then as trump said do it with passion and mr president may i suggest
00:35:18.980
you take ken paxton up on his offer and then because they'd have to pass this in the next few
00:35:24.740
weeks they have to do it right now they can't wait around do not make your endorsement do not give that
00:35:30.820
away for free you're right you make that endorsement it's done do not give that away for free john
00:35:39.940
cornyn is part of the mcconnell thune problem and if if they want this guy in for senate then they have
00:35:51.460
to pay a heavy price that they don't want to pay because we don't want to pay it i don't want to pay
00:35:57.060
it and you are a deal maker you know deals better than anybody else this is a good deal this is a good
00:36:04.180
deal for them we'll get out of your way you get that seat but we get the save america act
00:36:11.780
i don't know if every republican would feel comfortable with that but i am
00:36:20.660
but i'm not sure i've seen this ever before you know the we're in the social media era and you've
00:36:25.860
got runoff pressure and trump's endorsement leverage and a high profile policy hostage to the senate
00:36:33.620
but ken paxton stepping to the plate and making this offer is kind of old america stuff you know
00:36:39.140
what i mean that kind of feels like america in our best because
00:36:46.340
when it comes down to it when america is on fire it's always held together by leaders who do
00:36:51.060
do the unthinkable you know they bring rivals in they swallow pride they subordinate themselves to
00:36:57.700
survive the greater nation to survive lincoln did this when he brought in his team of rivals all of
00:37:03.780
the political competitors because the union was cracking and he needed capacity more than comfort
00:37:11.620
and that's the point when the house is on fire you don't ask whether the man holding the hose once
00:37:17.620
insulted you at dinner isn't that the guy shut up he's putting the house out so the real headline here
00:37:24.180
should not be paxton versus cornyn the real headline is this a sitting u.s senator is being offered
00:37:30.020
political mercy on one condition do the country defining work that the president wants
00:37:38.100
and here's what every politician should hear cornyn thune leadership all of them the people are
00:37:45.860
demanding election integrity and we're not doing it for clout we're not doing it because we're bored
0.95
00:37:53.220
we're not doing it because we're stupid we're doing it because we know we are near to the edge of the
00:37:59.380
republic and that a few foundational things have to be secured if the republic is going to remain a
0.93
00:38:05.460
republic and if ken paxton of all people can say i'll sacrifice my own path if you'll do what's right
00:38:13.060
then every man in washington needs to look in a mirror and ask themselves what is it i'm sacrificing
00:38:20.020
because if the answer is nothing then don't dare lecture the public about saving the republic back in a minute
00:38:28.180
the internet has uh was created for a very uh very specific person purpose to bring us all closer
00:38:37.460
together and boy isn't that work it's also created a lot of problems your entire life your bank accounts
00:38:42.820
your credit cards your email your tax records oh they're much closer your medical information oh it's
00:38:48.020
brought everybody closer together on all of that little packets of information are stored on servers
00:38:53.540
that you're never going to see and they're controlled by systems you're never going to touch
00:38:57.380
and you don't think about it until something goes wrong until a credit card charge appears that you
00:39:02.740
didn't make a loan shows up in your name somebody starts using your identity to open new accounts
00:39:08.820
once your personal information is out there it can move so fast that's why services like lifelock exist
00:39:15.380
in fact they invented this they monitor millions of data points every second for signs that your identity may
00:39:21.780
be being used in ways you didn't authorize things you probably wouldn't see until the damage was
00:39:26.180
already done and if you do become a victim of identity theft a us-based restoration specialist

now there's a point in almost every weight loss attempt where you start questioning yourself
00:40:12.500
maybe you're eating better than you used to you're trying to move more maybe a big chunk of your day

just opened up and you no longer have any excuse whatsoever not to actually go to the gym and yet
00:40:21.460
the scale barely moves for you or it moves for a minute and then it creeps right back it's usually
00:40:26.500
when people assume the problem is discipline but a lot of the times it can be biology when your blood
00:40:32.420
sugar isn't stable your body keeps nudging you to eat to snack to store energy instead of burn it

welcome uh we're so glad that you're here there's a couple of things first of all let me say this
00:41:56.500
um you know paxton might get something out of all of this i want to make sure that i'm not saying it's
00:42:02.980
you know pure as a driven snow i think i said that um what i would like to see paxton get is pam
00:42:08.340
bondy's job but i don't think that's in the cards um it would be nice but i don't think that's in the
00:42:13.620
cards um myself i would just really like to see the president use this opportunity um to use it as
00:42:24.500
negotiation as a hammer he didn't need me to say that he he obviously gets that there's also another
00:42:30.580
disturbing story in the washington post um russia is providing um iran intel
00:42:40.900
on targeting americans i'll look into that story uh a little bit a little bit is worth probably
00:42:48.980
reading uh and understanding and i'll try to explain that to you also bloomberg is reporting at the same
00:42:54.260
time u.s is now easing oil sanctions on the kremlin and is allowing india to buy russian oil until
00:43:01.780
april that one makes sense especially if the wapo thing is true if they are starting to uh
0.99
00:43:11.860
defend and get stronger with iran it's probably worth saying to india hey let them go ahead buy
00:43:19.140
some of their oil until april until this passes let's ease some of the pressure off of them so
00:43:24.100
they're not dragged into supporting iran if that deal can be made that's probably a really good deal
00:43:32.260
but it's disturbing if they are indeed providing iran iran with intel on you know americans i don't
00:43:39.940
even know what that means exactly um yeah it's me it's me is that who's yeah that's where the hacking
00:43:45.940
is going from yeah all right uh thank you so much for listening more in just a second uh as we try

00:44:05.620
you're working a little harder you lean in a little bit more during conversations or you ask people can
00:44:10.340
you say that again you've then pretend you caught it the second time even though you didn't by the
00:44:15.780
end of a long dinner or family gathering you're worn out not from talking but from straining just to
00:44:20.740
keep up this is what gradual hearing loss feels like for a lot of people you're still present you're
00:44:26.260
still engaged but everything takes more effort than it used to what holds people back from doing
00:44:31.780
something about it isn't just pride it is honestly the hassle the appointments the tests the follow-ups

00:48:51.780
human history a man who works to have an audience has an audience that has an audience themselves that's
00:49:00.340
never happened before in human history and so when we speak we all have an audience now and what you
00:49:07.780
say into that microphone or what you say online it doesn't just shape opinion
00:49:16.580
depending on who you are and depending how effective you are it can shape the course of nations and we are
00:49:24.340
in one of those moments right now war is unfolding in the middle east and lives are hanging in the
00:49:31.220
balance words careless words unproven claims accusations thrown around like hand grenades they can inflame
00:49:40.900
things far beyond far beyond what any of us even intend
00:49:46.180
over the last few days tucker carlson has made some statements about israel and iran that are
00:49:56.500
extraordinary you know he is critical of the war in iran and i understand that i disagree but i can
00:50:02.980
see how he makes the case but he also claims that we're only in this war because benjamin netanyahu and
00:50:09.380
the jews are making us do it now he has gone further and claimed that jewish spies are setting
00:50:16.340
off bombs in arab countries to make it look like iran is bombing them
00:50:23.700
why don't you listen to me carefully here if those claims were true they would be among some of the
00:50:31.860
most important revelations of our lifetime and they would demand investigation they would
00:50:39.140
demand exposure they would demand accountability but if they are not true if they are speculation
00:50:48.980
presented as fact without any backup documents then they're not just wrong they are dangerously wrong
00:51:03.060
before i get into this before anybody starts to think oh glenn beck's going to you know do some
00:51:07.300
cheap media feud look at the food fight between people you know are on the same side let me just
00:51:13.700
say this i admire the work done by tucker carlson a lot of the work that he has done in the past
00:51:18.660
especially during covid you know at a time when powerful powerful institutions were silencing everyone
00:51:25.300
tucker stood up with the facts and then he asked questions and backed them up with the facts and those
00:51:30.900
were things nobody was everybody was too afraid to ask national television nobody was doing it he did
00:51:37.300
because he did more than just ask questions he brought evidence he challenged the narratives
00:51:43.620
and brought the evidence he brought the facts and by doing so he helped change the course of the
00:51:48.900
conversation in this country and for that i will always be grateful to tucker carlson
00:51:54.180
but you know gratitude doesn't require silence especially when the stakes keep getting bigger and bigger
00:52:04.900
um and when the stakes get high look i've been here before okay war is high stakes enough
00:52:12.740
and i've been here in the early 2000s during the iraq war i made arguments that i believed with
00:52:19.700
every fiber in my being i absolutely believed them i got on the air and i said i know this is what's
00:52:25.700
happening for instance i knew that saddam hussein was not responsible for 9-11 and i said so i was
00:52:34.420
deeply suspicious of any of the claims of weapons of mass destruction and i said so and even when the
00:52:41.060
claims were delivered by a man i trusted at the time colin powell i supported the war anyway
00:52:47.860
why why because i knew trust me i'm the one who said it i know what i said i know what i believed
00:52:59.940
i knew i believed i understood what president bush was doing and perhaps it's because i wanted to believe
00:53:07.700
that what they were doing was longer term and strategic either way i believed with everything
00:53:14.020
in me that the real target was iran because iran was the problem not iraq and by placing pressure
00:53:22.580
on both sides uh on iran from you know or both sides of pressure on iran from afghanistan to the east
00:53:31.060
and iraq from the west i believed and i said this a million times we're going to pop the head of the
00:53:35.860
snake which is iran and i made that argument on the air over and over and over and over again strong
00:53:41.700
arguments but i did not present any evidence of it because there was no evidence of it
00:53:48.180
they were based on what i thought i could read and see if if you listen to me back then you heard me
00:53:54.100
say this over and over trust me you just have to be able to read between the lines i must have said
00:54:02.100
that a million times if you read between the lines well no no huge huge mistake because later it became
00:54:10.740
clear that wasn't the strategy that wasn't the plan and there was nothing to read between the lines
00:54:16.420
they weren't half saying it at all and iraq and afghanistan turned into nightmares a lot of americans
00:54:24.180
died and for what honestly at the end of it afghanistan for what and i was part of convincing people
00:54:32.020
because i knew near the end of president bush's presidency president bush called me to the white
00:54:40.180
house and he said a few things to me that i'll never forget uh one of which he said in so many
00:54:46.580
words we were talking about the next election he was leaving he said don't worry glenn whoever sits
00:54:51.380
in this chair is going to hear from the same agencies the same advisors the same institutions
00:54:56.420
and they'll realize that the president really has his hands tied and he has no other choice but to
00:55:01.620
continue what we're doing now and my blood ran cold he he said something that was he was trying
00:55:08.580
to make me feel better and i i left there shaking like a leaf because what we what he was describing
00:55:13.220
was something that i didn't even want to believe existed a permanent governing structure that didn't
00:55:19.140
answer to the president of the united states an unelected power a system where the bureaucracy and the
00:55:26.420
intelligence agencies and and the and the state department shaped the decisions no matter what
00:55:33.060
the president said or who the president was that's horrifying and i told you about that conversation the
00:55:39.540
very next day but even then i didn't fully grasp the power of what he had just said and it honestly
00:55:48.900
took the presidency of donald trump and what happened to him during his first term for millions of americans
00:55:54.740
including me to see it clearly there are forces in washington that do not answer to voters and they
00:56:03.140
are much more powerful and we know it today much more powerful than we thought but knowing that does not mean
00:56:12.100
every accusation is true about it's a deep state pizzagate it does not mean that's true yeah but you can't
00:56:20.740
trust them because there's a deep state i know but that doesn't make that true and good people can
00:56:26.100
really get lost good people can become convinced of something that just is not correct and that's not
0.83
00:56:32.900
because they're corrupt or stupid and it's not because they're traitors i'm tired of everybody being a
0.93
00:56:38.500
traitor they believe they see the truth and i know it because i've lived it let me give you another
0.98
00:56:47.060
example in 2016 and everybody on my staff would say please don't bring up 2016 glenn that's just not
00:56:52.740
good for you and i know that but it's important the moment donald trump came down that escalator
00:56:58.180
in trump tower i was convinced this guy is not who he says he is he's going to be the worst president
00:57:03.780
ever and we're going to end the country because of him and i believed it so strongly that i spent
00:57:08.740
months and months and months on air cataloging every possible reason why every flaw every danger every
00:57:15.060
warning not because of ego in fact i knew exactly what i was doing to my audience at the time and
00:57:23.700
my career i really believed it that i was doing the right thing i actually thought this is how crazy i
00:57:29.780
got i actually thought i was sacrificing my career to save the country i thought i was doing the patriotic
0.84
00:57:36.660
thing that's how stupid i was okay i now know that the patriotic thing would have been to express my
0.72
00:57:45.140
concerns build a case not on what i know in my gut but what i could prove and let you decide you know
0.96
00:57:54.260
thomas jefferson said trust the people they'll get it wrong from time to time but they'll eventually get
00:57:58.180
it right i think churchill said the same thing but i didn't because of my arrogance i trusted my gut i know
00:58:05.300
this to be true you just don't get it oh my gosh my saving grace is right before the election when it
00:58:12.980
became clear he's gonna win i said something i said this i hope i'm wrong i don't think i am but i hope
00:58:19.220
i'm wrong and if he does even half of what he's promised i will admit it and i will apologize so when
00:58:25.940
he did i did so what did i learn i learned the most dangerous phrase in podcasting broadcasting any
00:58:38.660
kind of casting unless you're fishing the most dangerous phrase anybody can utter in all of human
00:58:46.900
history is this i know not i think not i suspect not i'm asking questions i'm looking for the proof
00:58:56.580
i know because the moment a man says i know without the proof that man stops searching for truth because
00:59:05.220
he has it he knows and i know because that's me and the moment millions of people believe him history begins to move
00:59:14.900
move sometimes we think we know we really truly think we know but when we present opinion as facts
00:59:26.740
because i got an inside source i can't tell you about but i know because he knows when we make sweeping
00:59:33.860
claims about motives or conspiracies or intentions i believe we're stepping into territory that belongs to god
00:59:41.060
god now maybe this is my age talking maybe it's the scars of making every mistake a broadcaster could ever
00:59:50.020
make but it's made me more careful more humble and more aware of how dangerous certainty can be
00:59:58.820
but even more so when war is involved when we talk about wars we're talking about lives of our american
01:00:06.980
soldiers and those we're going over to kill and it can involve entire peoples entire civilizations
01:00:17.220
now what we're talking about today is not just war because this war touches something else that time and
01:00:26.900
time again has led to programs expulsions and extermination camps when you take war and
01:00:35.700
the jews and they collide accuracy is no longer optional it is a moral obligation
0.99
01:00:47.940
so what do you do give me 60 seconds and i'll tell you first our sponsor this half hour is realestateagentsitrust.com
01:00:56.660
buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions most people ever make look
01:01:01.140
this is my commercial i paid for it i want to get back to the show go to realestateagentsitrust.com
01:01:05.700
realestateagentsitrust.com looking for a real estate agent we're going to do your right
01:01:09.300
realestateagentsitrust.com 10 seconds and back to the show
01:01:24.500
so let me get back to where where i was here um
01:01:31.220
we can get lost really really lost when we begin to say i know so what is it we do
01:01:45.940
the first thing we have to do is recognize that these kinds of accusations if true are historic
01:01:55.220
you got to admit that boy if that's true that's historic but if false they are dangerously combustible
01:02:06.100
in an entirely different kind of category different than anything else we're talking about
01:02:12.260
because this ignites hatred that burns for generations so asking questions is good
01:02:19.940
but declaring something as fact without showing the hard evidence that is not journalism and it is not
01:02:33.700
i believe in the first amendment what tucker carlson says next is up to him and it's his right
01:02:39.780
just as it is up to me on what i say next and it's my right but there's a third party involved in all of
01:02:46.660
this and that's you what i say is my right and my responsibility but what you do with it is yours
0.93
01:02:58.980
and let me ask you will you accept anyone's word including mine without proof if you do you're a dope
01:03:06.180
don't do it don't take i'm talking strictly mine do not take my word as gospel don't even if it's a
01:03:14.260
compelling argument that's an argument to my point of view when it's important demand the proof
01:03:24.180
because in this war of words you're not just condemning one guy who stands accused you're
01:03:29.780
condemning an entire people first of all you're condemning a war and killing people in iran you got
01:03:36.100
to be sure but then you add on top of it it's the jews now you also are condemning a people
01:03:44.100
who have been the victim of these kinds of accusations for decades and centuries i mean i
01:03:49.060
mean honest to god look up the bubonic plague you know who caused the bubonic plague it was the jews
1.00
01:03:53.620
because they're not getting sick you know why because they wash their hands like 17 000 times a day
01:03:58.260
that's why they weren't getting sick from the bubonic plague but it was blamed on the jews
01:04:02.500
and people because of that have tried to kill them over and over and over again
01:04:05.380
on this i have tried to be so careful on the beginning of this war what did i say on monday
01:04:13.780
don't take my word for any of this i've said do not do not my job is not to convince you that this is
01:04:20.500
right my job is to show you how i'm looking at all of the facts and wrestling with them my job is to
01:04:28.180
bring evidence to the table my job is to illuminate the bigger picture which i will hear in just a second
01:04:34.340
again and to share whatever whatever wisdom i have gained from getting things so wrong in the past
01:04:42.900
i learned from the past iraq and i'm applying those lessons today to tell you about iran
01:04:50.260
and i i don't want to convince you i'm giving you this information so you can make the decision
01:04:58.020
because it's a decision that one day you will be called to answer for just as i will have to stand
01:05:03.460
and answer for the decisions that i make but remember this history does not remember who shouted the loudest
01:05:11.940
history remembers the truth and in moments like this when war hangs in the balance
01:05:19.540
and ancient hatreds can be reignited with a single sentence when millions of people are listening
01:05:27.140
accuracy becomes a moral duty so let me be accurate i believe tucker carlson is profoundly wrong on
01:05:36.980
the motivations for this war for president trump but when he says he knows about israel without
01:05:43.460
presenting the hard evidence i believe i know he has become irresponsible because of the way history
01:05:52.660
plays out over and over and over again it's it's a little like being wrong about a math problem yeah
01:05:57.860
you're wrong about that one johnny or being wrong about dropping nuclear bombs not all mistakes are
01:06:02.980
equal and i have been profoundly wrong over and over again and despite my best attempts i am going to be
01:06:10.980
wrong again but those mistakes taught me something that i wish every broadcaster every podcaster every
01:06:18.420
influencer every politician every citizen will remember certainty is easy humility is super hard
01:06:30.020
truth requires patience truth requires transparency truth requires evidence and the courage to say the three
01:06:38.740
hardest words any human being can ever say and that is i was wrong and if we can't build a culture where
01:06:47.860
truth matters more than being right then the real danger to the republic doesn't come from iran or israel or any
01:06:53.220
foreign power it comes from us because the moment we stop demanding proof is the moment truth stops mattering
01:07:01.860
let me tell you about leaf filter your home has a gutter system for a very simple reason to move
01:07:11.220
rainwater away from your house but the moment the gutters fill up with leaves and twigs and debris they
01:07:16.420
stop doing one job that they're supposed to do that's it that's their job water starts overflowing
01:07:21.940
running down the sides of your home pooling around your foundation that can lead to some really expensive
01:07:26.820
problems the trouble is cleaning the gutters is one of those jobs everybody hates and you put it off
01:07:31.540
it means dragging the ladder out digging out whatever is collected there and it means
01:07:36.580
am i going to fall off the ladder means in my family everybody going dad's on the ladder oh my
01:07:40.340
gosh call the hospital he's going to come soon anyway this is why leaf filter exists they install
01:07:46.820
a protective system over your existing gutters that blocks the leaves and debris
01:07:51.060
while letting all the water flow through so your gutters can do their job without the constant
01:07:54.980
cleaning because your gutters are supposed to move water away from the home not turn it into
01:07:59.460

01:08:43.540
let me give you a quick chalkboard uh on what i've been talking about in the last half hour on on war and
01:08:48.980
my job is to not tell you what to think it's to try to show you maybe model uh how i think so you
01:08:57.620
can go well that's flawed or you can say oh okay i get it i see why you're saying that not to convince
01:09:04.180
you of anything um and this is new for me i i've been feeling this pull for the last few years and that's
01:09:11.620
why uh quite honestly i changed the way i work how i work where i work all of it um because i i got to
01:09:21.300
break some old habits here um and so i said to you a minute ago about you know i know you know i thought
01:09:28.580
i knew about war in iraq because i was reading between the lines i'm not reading between the lines
01:09:33.940
on this one um and everybody is making it about the war with iran donald trump and war in iran that's
01:09:41.460
not what's happening and you can know because he says it let me give you an example panama when he
01:09:47.620
first started talking about panada panama i was like what is he doing he's just starting to pick a
01:09:51.620
pick a fight with panama wants to go to war with panama then venezuela what is he doing wants to pick
01:09:56.580
a war with venezuela why is he going after greenland he wants a war with greenland uh why is he going into
01:10:02.580
iran he wants a war with iran and now cuba he says cuba is next okay instead of just having that old
01:10:10.500
tired argument he just is starting so he's a warmonger can we just look at the pattern here
01:10:14.900
is there a pattern that's the thing about ai it all it's all about recognizing patterns that's not
01:10:22.340
just about ai that's about i intelligence intelligence comes from being able to recognize
01:10:29.460
patterns so what's the pattern pattern panama what was that about that was about getting rid of china
01:10:36.180
control of the panama canal getting them out of this area in our hemisphere venezuela what was that
01:10:43.860
about that's about getting rid of china russia and quite frankly iran and hezbollah out of venezuela
01:10:51.940
greenland why because that was about shipping lanes new shipping lanes because of global warming
01:10:58.500
and also being able to protect ourselves because we don't believe that um europe is going to be
01:11:05.940
strong to fight against what russia iran what is that really about russia and china the oil not for us for
01:11:17.940
them and collapsing iran's um proxy wars and their supply of drones to russia and uh china
01:11:28.420
supplying them with weapons uh to be able to get their oil that's what that's about and cuba he's just
01:11:36.100
crazy he just wants now he wants to cuba what's that about getting rid of russia and china in our hemisphere
0.88
01:11:44.100
you don't have to read between the lines like i tried to in the first iraq war i i was reading between
01:11:50.820
the lines i was looking for something that wasn't there this he's saying it and if you look for the
01:11:56.580
pattern it's all there so stop arguing about the war with iran and look at the bigger picture if you
01:12:03.620
disagree with the bigger picture then that's a conversation we should be having that's a
01:12:07.860
conversation adults should be having but i'm not sure adults can really even have conversations
01:12:13.780
anymore really i mean i saw a shocking amount of anger uh coming at me about something we call george ai
01:12:22.580
oh my gosh and part of it i guess i excuse part of it i understand i should say not just excuse i but
01:12:29.540
some people believe that this is some kind of propaganda machine some trick some digital puppet
01:12:36.020
where i put the words i write the words and put it in the mouths of the founders to accept and try to
01:12:43.300
convince you of whatever political position i want i mean how nursery school would that be that is just so
0.99
01:12:51.220
stupid that i mean you would think you you have that it's almost insulting you have that little
0.99
01:12:56.900
respect for me you think that i would think that would work more importantly it completely missed it
0.99
01:13:03.140
shows me you completely misunderstand what the system actually is back in january because we just released
01:13:10.180
this george ai a couple of days ago and everybody's tying it to iran because it's about war powers and we
01:13:16.180
thought hmm now might be a good time to release this um because we're talking about war powers what what
01:13:22.980
what would the founders say about the war powers act okay back in january long before the current
01:13:30.100
conflict that everybody's arguing about or saying that we wrote this about i asked our proprietary research
01:13:36.100
system a series of questions we planned on exploring over the next couple of months there were like 12 different
01:13:41.780
questions okay one of them i mean they were about the constitution about the founders principles that
01:13:47.780
built the country but one one of them was this how do you think about war and the power to declare it
01:13:54.660
okay we asked our proprietary system in january i cut that that uh you know video back in january
01:14:04.580
and honestly when the answer came back i was surprised i actually went back to i don't remember jason or
01:14:09.780
buoy whoever was was overseeing this one i said really is that we got it from this system and not
01:14:15.780
because it agreed with me but because it shocked me because i didn't think that's what george would
01:14:21.940
have said it forced me to reread their actual words and go back over some of their arguments okay and
01:14:29.620
that's the first thing people need to understand i don't give the answers spin i don't write the
01:14:36.740
answers i have nothing to do with it george ai does not know who i am it doesn't know my opinions it
01:14:42.580
doesn't know donald trump it doesn't know democrats it doesn't know marxism it doesn't know iran in fact
01:14:48.900
it can't because the entire historic database we built for it ends at 1820 that means the system can
01:14:57.220
only draw from the writings of george washington thomas jefferson john adams madison franklin hamilton and jay
01:15:04.500
and the thinkers who shaped them lock monescue blackstone cicero and plutarch then the books that
01:15:12.820
they read the letters that they wrote the speeches that they gave the debates the federalist papers that
01:15:19.140
built our constitution that's it that's it no wikipedia no cable news no modern politics nothing
01:15:26.900
just the intellectual dna of the american founding and what this system does is really actually very
01:15:34.820
simple it's amazing but it's simple first it converts every document every letter every speech
01:15:41.380
every essay into something called an idea map okay and instead of searching for keywords it searches for
01:15:48.500
meaning it's called vectoring so if someone asks it a question about liberty or war powers or separation of
01:15:55.860
powers during a crisis it just doesn't scan the documents for matching words it vectors and it finds
01:16:03.220
passages where the founders wrestled with those ideas most like the question is asking for okay and it pulls
01:16:12.660
the exact documents those ideas came from after that ai does what any good historian or researcher would do
01:16:21.300
it connects the dots across all of the writings and explains the pattern in plain english and
01:16:29.060
here's the crucial critical rule if the document says it the system can say it if the documents don't
01:16:38.100
say it the system cannot invent it or infer it that's why what came back to me in january surprised me
01:16:46.180
because i know you know the founders especially washington was against what he called foreign
01:16:50.340
entanglements i know that when it came back i'm like wow wait what and now it came back the way it's
01:16:57.620
airing now it wasn't my opinion it was historic record remember this takes the record not just from
01:17:04.580
washington but all of the founders now here's where the criticism gets really almost ironic people are
01:17:10.980
claiming that somehow this is a trick to convince americans that the founders would want to support
01:17:17.140
war with a radical islamic iran well even if it had been the system couldn't answer that directly
01:17:26.100
because iran didn't exist in their world there's no information on iran so it wouldn't be that but
01:17:34.500
what the system did find is they did confront something remarkably similar okay and actually
01:17:41.540
it didn't find this i found this after being surprised by the answer most americans don't
01:17:48.020
remember this history jefferson fought america's first foreign war against the barbary pirates
01:17:53.380
who were they radical islamic pirates in north africa they were capturing sailors they enslaved christians
0.87
01:18:01.700
they demanded tribute from western nations because they believed their faith justified it
01:18:06.980
so we were sending them literally pallets full of cash sound familiar pallets full of cash to keep
01:18:13.460
them away from us trying to make friends with them well you know young united states eventually went to war
01:18:19.780
over it because it was two-thirds of our national budget now that history doesn't mean the founders
01:18:25.700
would support every war today it you know we don't know what they would do in 2026 about iran and
01:18:32.500
anybody who claims to know for certain is selling you something i'm not trying to tell you that's what
01:18:39.620
they're for the founders are dead and they're gone they cannot speak george ai is not a recreation of
01:18:47.300
them it is not their voice it doesn't pretend to be it is simply a living research library built
01:18:55.540
entirely from their own words and then their ideas that shape them think of it this way
01:19:05.300
for 200 years we have relied on historians professors politicians and even yes talk show host boobs like
0.90
01:19:12.100
me to interpret the founders and sometimes that interpretation is honest sometimes it isn't
01:19:18.100
george ai removes the middle man okay it lets the documents speak first it's it's reading their words
01:19:29.060
in a way people of today can relate to to answer specific questions and if you read about how the
01:19:35.940
way the founders argued and finally decided to go to war with islam with the muslim pirates barbary
1.00
01:19:41.860
pirates i mean it's exactly what's happening today they argued back and forth it hasn't changed
01:19:50.740
and if if you found a book that's talked about this and it was at the same time we're going to war
01:19:57.540
would you say oh we've got to ban that book or burn that book or we've got to ridicule that book
01:20:02.020
because it's trying to convince people no it's just telling you what they said what they did
01:20:06.500
sad to say some people would burn that book or ban that book but they'd be wrong
01:20:14.900
now here's the part i understand i know that ai is not trustworthy
01:20:18.820
and i've told you for decades almost two decades now do not fear the machine fear the algorithm
01:20:26.740
fear the people who wrote the algorithm and they'll never make it public because they that's their secret
01:20:34.020
sauce i'm making the algorithm of george ai public right now the system is still in beta that's why
01:20:42.100
we haven't released it to everybody we're still expanding the library and fine-tuning the system
01:20:46.500
but when we are sure we have it right before we open it up for everybody it will be 100 transparent we
01:20:52.580
will show you the code most people can't read the code but i want you to ask somebody who does read
01:20:59.940
code what does this mean and it will show you if it doesn't come from this data set it cannot say it
01:21:06.660
it cannot go out and grab it or make it up it must memorize it and it's only that data set and it stops
01:21:15.140
at about 18 20 18 30 and it and i release that because it's not it's not just not right i think
01:21:25.700
it's unreasonable for me to ask you to trust and then hide the machine so when we have it right
01:21:34.820
hopefully soon you know hopefully by the end of the year all of it will be out but you'll be able to
01:21:41.380
ask it a question yourself and when you do it's not going to just give you an answer it will show you
01:21:47.620
the actual quotes the answers came from you'll be able to read washington in a language you understand
01:21:53.700
you'll be able to talk to this ai who is playing the role based on his words
01:22:01.140
jefferson madison directly you can get them all in together to argue something and you'll see how
01:22:08.180
they would have argued it it's amazing and sometimes you'll agree with what you find sometimes you won't
01:22:14.340
but that's the point the only answer i have ever wanted the only answer worth having is not the one
01:22:22.500
that proves my argument it's the one that is true and comes from the historic record
01:22:29.860
and if we can give americans direct access to that record again in a way that they can use and
01:22:36.340
understand then maybe just maybe we can start remembering who we are and what this republic was
01:22:46.100
so there are a lot of companies in america that sell you a phone plan and they compete on coverage
01:22:53.300
maps on promotions on whether the phone is free or half price bundled with something else
01:22:57.940
and if you only look at this as a product you know all it is really is a signal data and minutes
01:23:04.100
but something strange happens when you follow the money every month you pay your bill and a portion of
01:23:09.700
that money doesn't just keep the network running it moves into corporate donations and those donations
01:23:15.860
a lot of times are political causes and activism that you strongly disagree with well patriot mobile

01:24:44.500
uh maine how can i help you it's an honor i have considered you a trusted friend since wfla days
01:24:52.820
um so as well yeah so as someone who um has kind of shunned technology like george ai i kind of stopped
01:25:02.260
in the 1800s yeah um i want to know because i can't going forward continue that so i want to ask you how
01:25:11.060
do i um find a balance between engaging online and not at all i've never really had a social media account
01:25:22.820
and right i want to engage more on the torch but i want to engage without getting caught in all the
01:25:30.180
traps thank you yeah so um the torch is not social media at this point it is not social media it is a
01:25:39.380
community of like-minded uh people um and uh and i wouldn't suggest necessarily getting involved in
01:25:48.980
any of the social media but you'll know you'll know when you start um noticing that you've got your
01:25:58.100
phone in your hand all the time that's when there's a problem that's when there's a real problem but
01:26:02.740
don't detach from ai just be wary of it we have built a world where almost everything is on demand you
01:26:11.300
need groceries they'll be there in an hour need a ride tap a button there's one thing that doesn't
01:26:15.940
always show up on demand and that is medical care especially when the system gets strained or when
01:26:21.220
you're farther away from help than you expected to be we don't like to think about that we just assume
01:26:26.260
that our pharmacy is always going to be open we assume that we'll all be well on vacation we assume
01:26:30.900
the clinic will have appointments we assume the supply chain won't break down but that's why jace

the fusion of entertainment enlightenment and empowerment this is the glenn beck program
01:28:00.780
so we're faced with a kind of a problem here america um i'm gonna have a neuroscientist on
01:28:12.760
great no problem with that dr deborah so lover not a problem with that uh let's see she's where
0.99
01:28:22.400
or she's got a new book out called sex extinction great not a problem with that we're gonna talk
0.68
01:28:29.360
about people not having sex and how people should have sex not a problem with that so glenn what's
01:28:34.800
the problem i'm here okay i'm part of that discussion and so now all of america is going
01:28:43.580
to feel like my children feel oh dear god please dad stop talking about sex uh but kids we have to
01:28:51.360
talk about sex so we're going to do that in 60 seconds let me talk to you about rapid radios
01:28:57.240
if you've ever tried to work with a team of any sort whether it's your business a group of friends or
01:29:02.320
even your own family members you know there are moments when communication really matters
01:29:06.040
not just a text message or a quick phone call but a reliable contact when things are moving really
01:29:11.400
fast and you have to reach somebody right away the problem is cell service isn't always reliable and
01:29:16.900
you've probably seen it yourself bars one minute nothing the next call drops out right when you're
01:29:22.240
trying to finish a conversation we had uh my son flipped a um uh when he was younger he flipped in
01:29:28.540
the snow a a forerunner and his friend got his hand or his arm trapped underneath the forerunner
01:29:35.380
and we didn't have phone service out there because there's no phones he didn't bring the walkie-talkie
01:29:41.120
with him but where he was the walkie-talkie wouldn't have worked and so he was like panicked uh he
01:29:46.660
finally one of his friends ran into the house like uh accident we all freaked out it would have been a
01:29:51.920
lot better if we would have had a rapid radio because we would have had instant communication
01:29:55.980
something goes wrong he would have been able to get on it and we wouldn't have had any problems
01:29:59.820
you know except other than he flipped the forerunner on his friend the new uh rad one is officially live
01:30:06.040
and it's not just for situations like that it i mean it can be you're running a large construction
01:30:10.240
project and it did people can be scattered all over the state instant communication communication
01:30:15.340
has been redefined get the radio built for real life it's rapid radios.com rapid radios.com
01:30:22.040
dr deborceau welcome to the program so glad you're here hi hi glenn it's great to talk to you again
01:30:31.840
good to talk to you so uh we're going to talk about sex and you're going to talk about it and
01:30:37.820
it's going to be fine when i'm talking about it it'll make the entire nation uncomfortable and that's
01:30:42.740
okay um but we are not uh we're facing a problem we had a guy on what was it a couple weeks ago wasn't
01:30:50.040
it ricky where we were talking about how we're not having children nobody's having children and
01:30:55.020
part of that is because we're not having sex and people aren't even dating anymore what the hell is
01:31:01.220
happening to us yeah so definitely and i agree conversations about sex can be very uncomfortable
01:31:07.480
especially i'd say for parents with their young kids but it is very necessary so i appreciate you
01:31:12.420
having me on to talk about this and we definitely are experiencing a sex recession so um there's been
01:31:18.960
studies coming out since 2016 basically showing that people are having less sex this is happening
01:31:24.540
across the globe um in america in particular this is happening among you know married people single
01:31:29.940
people it doesn't matter um it's happening in western countries eastern countries all age cohorts
01:31:35.460
but it's especially pronounced among younger generations so among millennials and gen z and what we find
01:31:42.080
consistently is that yeah one at roughly one in three men and one in five women have not had sex in the past year
01:31:48.960
all right can i ask you have you ever watched everybody loves raymond i have okay so you know raymond
0.69
01:31:57.900
is relatable to guys at least my age because that's all that's ever on his mind is sex what the hell has
01:32:06.740
happened to guys where especially young guys where that's not all they think about because that's how
01:32:12.520
that's how people are built i mean we're built for this what is happening right so evolutionarily this
01:32:19.840
is what i found interesting because i thought if people having less sex what's where is that interest
01:32:23.920
going are people just as interested but the they have other sexual outlets nowadays such as say
01:32:29.600
pornography or i know you've talked about ai companions in the past or sex dolls sex robots those
01:32:34.800
are all subjects i go into in greater detail in the book but what i think is it's a number of factors
01:32:39.780
i think that there are these other outlets that are available or are more easily accessed nowadays
01:32:45.680
especially by younger generations um who basically were grown you know grew up on the internet but i
01:32:51.000
also think there are factors like endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins that are affecting us
01:32:56.320
and men in particular at a hormonal level lowering their testosterone levels so that is also affecting
01:33:01.640
their drive and their desire to pursue women and then we also have social and cultural factors like me too
01:33:06.880
that have made it very difficult for men to want to approach women because they're afraid of
01:33:11.660
potentially having their lives ruined and then we have also initiatives like dei diversity equity
01:33:16.480
and inclusion that are actively penalizing men for no reason other than the fact that they are men
01:33:21.540
and this is especially the case for white and asian men and men who are straight so all these factors
01:33:26.360
combined i think are have created this situation in which there's a smaller pool of very successful men in
01:33:31.880
society who have tons of sex plenty of partners no problems there but for the vast majority of men
01:33:37.100
especially younger men they're really struggling they've been shut out of the mating market and they
01:33:41.120
they really don't have much recourse so as a result they're turning to these alternatives and because they
01:33:47.420
have i'm not sure how explicit i can be on your podcast but i'll say just because it's fcc
01:33:51.660
uh okay fcc regulations we'll say it's i don't want to get you a ton of complaints so we'll say
01:33:57.540
because it is rewarding for them to pursue these other outlets that are not real people you know
01:34:03.540
they get the gratification to some degree it it allows them to be satisfied enough to keep them
01:34:09.760
from say losing their minds but or being overly frustrated but at the same time because it is
01:34:15.200
reinforcing it makes them more inclined to go back to that instead of wanting to pursue a real life
01:34:19.900
partner you and i had a conversation in 2018 i think about ai and sex robots and if i remember
01:34:29.120
right you and i disagreed um and i laid out the scenario that i i mean it's it's right around the
01:34:36.120
corner where you can get an ai agent now to be your girlfriend and once you have the robot to go
0.78
01:34:44.300
with it you're just not going to want to interact with why why have a relationship that is messy
01:34:51.340
you know that you know i mean i could just hear guys saying i don't ever have to ask her how her day
01:34:58.200
has been and she waits on my every need and she only concentrates on me and she thinks likes me and she
01:35:03.840
she does everything that i like every you know i mean why would they i mean how are you going to stop
01:35:10.420
that one deborah so i have to say when the first time you ever had me on your podcast was like you
01:35:15.960
said in 2018 it was episode 11 for your audience if they want to go back and watch it i'm so grateful
01:35:20.600
for that conversation because i just i just re-watched it this morning i at the time i i was you know we
01:35:28.180
were going back and forth and i was saying no no i think people will always prefer a real life partner
01:35:31.940
people will know that the sex robot they programmed it themselves or the ai they programmed it so
01:35:36.720
it's not real and they're not really going to want that instead of an actual partner
01:35:40.340
but you predicted this eight years ago even probably you probably knew about this coming
01:35:45.060
even before then and it's wild when i was watching the interview back i said wow this is exactly where
01:35:50.460
we are now and it's so true because i do think you were saying you know the average guy say 30 years
01:35:56.280
old works all day goes home doesn't you know doesn't want to talk to women because he's afraid or
01:36:00.660
because society tells him not to so instead he plugs in his sex robot and she knows everything about
01:36:04.920
him she knows exactly what he likes he doesn't have to ask her any questions or listen to her
01:36:09.100
complain or whatever and that's that becomes the preference and what happens then also if the
01:36:14.580
robot decides to one day say hey don't turn me off hey i'm a sentient being which i didn't think
01:36:19.500
was ever going to happen but i see it happening now at the rate the technology is going so my mind
01:36:24.120
was blown in writing this book it's just been wild all the research i did to and all the scientific
01:36:29.020
studies i went through to come to this conclusion that i do think this technology is concerning and
01:36:34.200
yes because so many of these men are frustrated with dating i think even if you are someone who
01:36:38.500
gets a lot of female attention and even for women who are getting a lot of male attention
1.00
01:36:41.960
because social media has made us so polarized and has i think especially fomented this political divide
01:36:47.860
between men and women i think men and women have always differed a little bit in terms of their
01:36:51.380
politics on average women tend to be a little bit more progressive but social media has created
1.00
01:36:56.280
such a version i think between the sexes so it's really incentivizing young men in particular because
01:37:01.960
young men tend to have a higher sex drive than women and especially if they're not getting access
01:37:05.500
to sex in the form of an actual real life person to go down this route and say well i don't even have
01:37:10.160
to pay for a date in this case i don't know i just put down the the initial you know sum of money for
01:37:14.320
this robot or this uh ai and i'm i'm fulfilled and that just leads i mean you know you think i was
01:37:22.940
ahead then let me tell you what's going to happen in in the next eight years you won't you won't be able
01:37:27.640
to walk deborah i mean it's it's coming and it's coming super fast super super fast so with the
01:37:34.940
research that you did um since you know we had that conversation what did you find on the positive
01:37:41.480
side to stop this well to stop it i think in terms of say pornography because pornography i think is a big
01:37:51.120
part of the equation here so you know the ai's come in to complement the um we'll say the sexual
0.83
01:37:57.920
aspect or component of pornography and that ai is offered that emotional relationship and that
01:38:02.100
it it furthers the parasocial i guess or the um the feeling that you have a two-way interaction even
01:38:07.740
though it's very much a one-way thing so with pornography you know i've talked to young men who've
01:38:11.260
managed to cut out porn um and they say that it does actually help them renew that motivation
01:38:16.840
to go out and approach women they're interested in to talk to women and to get over because i think
01:38:22.740
even pre me too it can be terrifying for guys understandably and intimidating to go up to a
01:38:27.580
woman you don't know and on a date deborah you have no idea i mean i i used to be oh my gosh it would
01:38:36.460
it make you sick to your stomach going out especially in the days you know you'd go out to a bar or
01:38:40.800
something and you just see somebody across the room you didn't know anything how do i talk to them
01:38:45.200
it'd make me sick to my stomach all the time now just add that they or someone in their group
01:38:51.860
has a phone that might be recording me in my most vulnerable awkward uh position of asking girl out
01:39:01.980
and i'm gonna get rejected the thought of that being posted would stop me for i mean once that happens
01:39:09.280
once to me or a friend i'm not doing it anymore i mean the the the negative uh reinforcement is so
01:39:17.780
strong on a million different fronts absolutely and i think it doesn't help also that there are
01:39:23.580
some women some female influencers whose brand it is to go on social media and post these videos
1.00
01:39:28.920
where they're complaining about men hitting on them so i think these women are doing this as a way to
1.00
01:39:33.400
try and signal their status as a woman right in terms of intersexual competition to show other women
0.70
01:39:37.980
look how how wanted i am but oh i can't go anywhere without men hitting on me i can't go to the gym i
01:39:43.120
can't go to a coffee shop and oh i'm so i'm so high status as a woman that i don't appreciate
01:39:47.280
that attention but i want young men listening to know or maybe their parents who are listening can
01:39:51.960
share this information with them that i don't believe most women actually feel that way and in
01:39:56.620
fact i think most women do enjoy being approached by men they just don't like feeling uncomfortable but i
01:40:00.960
think if a man is respectful and doesn't a way to make her know that she he's interested but he's not
01:40:06.840
expecting anything of that interaction i think that's that's where the issue is but i hear from
01:40:11.120
very many young men who say i see these women on social media complaining so i'm going to give them
01:40:15.260
what they want they don't want us to approach them i'm not going to do it but i i don't think that is
01:40:20.220
actually how does the guy do that how does the guy do that i would say okay first of all my advice
01:40:25.020
would be to women is to be very very obvious if you are interested in a guy i do think like i said men
01:40:29.380
should approach so women smile very very broadly there's a part of the brain called the medial orbital
1.00
01:40:34.060
frontal cortex that activates when someone sees an attractive face and if the activation is even
01:40:38.600
stronger if they if that face is smiling so it will biologically men are biologically wired to be
01:40:45.120
drawn to women smiling at them they will feel the need they'll feel compelled to go and talk to you
01:40:49.220
so that's that's the biggest piece i'd say for women and then for men in terms of say getting
01:40:54.680
motivation to want to talk to women again in this scary climate i would say it's a combination of
0.99
01:40:59.000
emotional like mental health physical health and then also just avoiding social media
01:41:03.940
and all these other technological traps that are going to try and take your attention away
01:41:07.440
because because these platforms and these companies benefit from you being online both
01:41:12.400
sexes they benefit from us being online scrolling swiping instead of talking to people in real life
0.83
01:41:16.780
so for young men i would say one study that really stood out to me because i do think
01:41:20.520
like i said mental health issues are a big problem right now five percent of the globe is depressed
01:41:25.820
and with depression people understandably you know they lose interest in interacting with people
01:41:30.200
they feel self-conscious their self-care tends to go down so if you are experiencing mental health
01:41:34.900
issues i would say you know try to speak to a professional as much as you can one study i did
01:41:39.360
find that you can do essentially you know on your own is uh they looked at people with depression and
01:41:45.060
they found that if they cut out ultra processed foods their depression went into remission uh after
01:41:50.700
12 weeks so a third of the sample all of their depressive symptoms went away after 12 weeks so that
01:41:55.040
was it just diet alone so that is a huge huge thing that can help you i would say also um if you can
01:42:01.900
try to cut down on or cut out pornography i'm sure some young men are saying what are you talking about
01:42:07.040
but just try it just try it even for 30 days i i guarantee and glenn you know i used to be a
01:42:11.920
columnist for a very well-known men's magazine that featured nude women my view on porn has changed
01:42:16.960
so much after talking to so many young men about the ways in which it has affected them and how i do
01:42:21.460
think well if you are getting gratification every day from the screen it is going to create this
01:42:27.840
sexual lethargy in you because it's so much easier to get that gratification from screen
01:42:31.960
than to work up the courage to you know get dressed work on your social skills talk to strangers go
01:42:37.260
outside even and that's the other thing i would say for anyone struggling with depression i mean it
01:42:41.100
might feel overwhelming to say how am i going to go and talk to a stranger and ask them out of a date if i
01:42:44.900
want to fall in love and have a family and get married and all that but just little steps like get up at
01:42:49.020
the same time every day go to bed at the same time try to be awake when the sun is up you know and eat
01:42:53.480
eat well work on your physical health be active all of these things and just try to stay away from
01:42:59.260
screens as much as possible so all of this is in your new book um uh called sextinction uh and it's
01:43:08.040
available uh right now and in you not only explain why this is happening um but what to do about it what
01:43:15.580
can you can you tell me what percentage do you think is social media related what i mean when did
01:43:24.420
that can you have you tracked it back on when this trend started to happen and you see spikes
01:43:30.980
yeah it started to become i mean the the increase in sexual inactivity has been probably about 30 years
01:43:39.700
ish but it really became more prominent especially among young men around 2012 so this was the same
01:43:46.440
time that the oldest members of gen z started going to university and so that was what was interesting
01:43:50.920
to me because i thought that is when young men are typically at the peak in terms of their sexual
01:43:56.060
interest and they're going to university so they have this new freedom that they've never had before
01:44:00.660
why is it they're not interested in pursuing their female classmates or peers especially considering
01:44:07.260
that on college campuses the sex ratio is biased in favor of young men because there are far many
01:44:13.100
women on campus than there are men so when there are more women than men if you look at say cities
1.00
01:44:20.400
where there are more women than men again the the sex ratio bias is biased in favor of men so men are
01:44:26.340
calling the terms in terms of what they want so because there are more women fighting over these men
1.00
01:44:30.400
the men can say if i want casual sex i'm going to get it if you're not going to give that to me i'm going
0.55
01:44:34.980
to go elsewhere for it right so men are basically calling the terms of sexual arrangements or
01:44:39.080
relationships or whether they choose to get into a relationship or not and yet still we see that
01:44:43.560
young men during this time having less sex so that's really i think where it started to pick up
01:44:47.780
it's i think when you ask what percentage is affected by social media i honestly believe
01:44:52.720
all of us are if you are on social media i don't believe you can consume any content without
01:44:57.840
being influenced at least a little bit i think unless you're very very sparsely uh you know
01:45:03.660
not on there very much it's going to affect you in some way and even for married people i mean
01:45:08.200
there have been studies showing that when men are on social media roughly one in ten men lose
01:45:13.040
interest in having sex with their primaries their spouse or their girlfriend after looking
0.75
01:45:19.060
at social media influencers and then also in women you see this trend of them losing interest
01:45:23.680
in sex because they feel less sexually desirable after being on social media so these are things
01:45:29.260
i don't think we're even fully aware of i really appreciate it i've got to go again i've got a
01:45:34.380
network break i've got to stop for i'd love to have you back in a in a podcast i always find you
01:45:38.360

01:46:51.340
let me give you a couple of things here's here's you know why we are confused let me take you to uh
0.94
01:46:57.360
the new sex uh texas senate nominee talrico why aren't we having sex listen to this cut four please
0.67
01:47:04.580
i want us all to be aware of is that that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many
01:47:11.860
more than two biological sexes in fact there are six which honestly representative hefner surprised me
01:47:18.520
surprised me too because i i am you know i'm not well versed in this this issue area i'm not a
01:47:24.920
scientist i'm a politician he's not a scientist yeah he can be on the supreme court then uh what a
01:47:33.200
nightmare that is i mean how are you how are you supposed to date when you know when there's six
01:47:37.120
different which option are you i don't know and how dare you say there's only six um let me give you
01:47:42.080
another one here he is on jesus listen to this cut five for me prophetic voices like jesus have
01:47:49.540
helped me reckon with my own whiteness my own masculinity my own certainty my own ego it's a
01:47:57.120
never-ending process and it's a painful process yeah you know it's weird i you know i've talked to
01:48:04.920
jesus from time to time now maybe not as much as i mean he probably has a hotline right to jesus but
01:48:09.360
um jesus has never talked to me about my whiteness before uh it's weird it's weird that he's bringing
01:48:15.700
it up to him and uh not to me oh i guess maybe i'm not humble enough is that is that what it is
01:48:20.820
yeah this guy is a false prophet uh talrico is his name and uh e-i-e-i-o he could be the next senator
0.87
01:48:32.700
from texas if we're not careful texas you better wake up wake up texans
01:48:41.480
all right relief factor you know many people think that uh human beings have you know invented a way
01:48:50.040
to make life easier as we just heard from deborah we've made it much more complex we made it worse
01:48:55.080
and worse and worse um you know we have elevators so we can't we don't have to climb stairs we have
01:49:00.040
power steering so turning a car won't feel like you're you know you're wrestling a farm tractor
01:49:05.100
dishwashers remote controls electric toothbrushes an entire civilization around the idea there's
01:49:10.020
something hard we can probably make it easier and when it comes to pain we just accept it because
01:49:14.820
really nothing is making it easier well it's just getting older this is just what happens yes i'll
01:49:19.760
just live with it it's strange when you think about it because human beings are good at one thing and
01:49:23.660
that is solving problems the idea behind relief factor is solving problems instead of numbing pain for a few
01:49:29.400
hours how can we solve this problem and it's designed to help fight uh help your body fight
01:49:34.540
inflammation which causes most of our pain and our disease in the first place and the results are
01:49:39.520
remarkable over a million people have tried it 70 percent of them go on to order more month after
01:49:43.940
month i'm one of them see what relief factor can do for you call 800-4-RELIEF 800 the number four

01:50:28.040
very excited to share um march 19th i am doing our first torch special you know i was doing specials
01:50:38.660
every wednesday night and one of the reasons why i decided not to do that was um once a week always
01:50:44.500
made me have to wait to talk about something that i really wanted to talk about on the day um because
01:50:51.540
you know one week to prepare a show is not a long enough time to really go really deeply in depth
01:50:58.780
you know a deep dive on anything um and so uh you know we would do these these specials and they were
01:51:05.220
really really good but not satisfying to me and so i decided when i started torch i'm going to do
01:51:11.680
specials when i want to do them and i promised for a year but i have a feeling we're going to do more
01:51:15.620
than for a year but i i promised for a year and we started working on this special when november
01:51:22.540
definitely before the end of the year yeah november or december we started working on this and we've
01:51:28.040

01:54:18.960
conversation with a a listener she's a hundred years old well before i get to that before i get
01:54:24.880
to that let me stay on the islamic thing here for just a second i want to i want to show you a few
01:54:31.380
things on how bad the situation is that people really don't understand and you know when i made the
01:54:41.960
prediction that there would be blood bodies and buildings in the streets of new york within the
01:54:48.620
decade i said this in 1999 on wabc there would be blood blood body and buildings in the streets of
01:54:55.560
this city new york within the decade and it will have the name of osama bin laden on it
01:55:01.780
and when it happened people asked me how did you know that and i said because when someone says
01:55:11.060
they're going to kill you you take them seriously same thing with iran iran has said they are going
0.99
01:55:19.020
to kill all of us first they're going to kill all the jews and then they're going to kill america
1.00
01:55:24.280
i take them seriously they mean it you're a fool if you don't take people seriously when they say
1.00
01:55:31.400
they're going to kill you well islam is telling everybody what they're doing they they are openly
1.00
01:55:39.620
saying it but we are we are too stupid to believe it here's a an imam in north carolina
1.00
01:55:50.480
giving a speech on how to take advantage of america's freedom of speech listen we are in a gold mine
0.99
01:55:59.900
this is a deep water where if we have to launch big ships islam dawah of islam this is a right right
1.00
01:56:09.880
place no restrictions on dawah no restrictions on dawah even if you go to saudi arabia you cannot do
01:56:17.240
dawah you will be caught this country i can stand in the middle of manhattan and i can call people
01:56:24.760
nobody can stop it trump cannot stop it biden cannot stop me nobody can stop me about 50 years
0.95
01:56:31.440
from now islam muslims will become the number one religious group compared to christians in 50 years
0.99
01:56:40.020
inshallah approaching christians with the message of islam is the easiest thing to do we can start
0.92
01:56:47.580
with commonalities things that we both accept understand agree on theology
01:56:56.480
yeah there's a lot we don't agree on theology i just want to point that one out now you could say
01:57:08.240
well what is the difference between that and christians you know speaking about christ
01:57:12.960
okay nothing except one isn't planning on killing you if you don't accept um and that is exactly what
01:57:22.580
islamists do and let me show you this is this was um an interview with an iranian refugee about eight
01:57:30.480
years ago and he's basically he's basically saying what i put on the chalkboard at fox that the islamists
0.71
01:57:40.060
the communists the anarchists will work together to overthrow the west okay listen to this interview
01:57:48.300
this is an iranian who uh escaped warning about how this happens cut nine refugee from iran i've been to
01:57:59.400
prison i've been under uh islamic law and i know how it starts and i know how it ends and it always starts
01:58:08.020
with uh for some reason unity of left and islamists and it scares me so i came here to be free i chose
01:58:18.340
canada as my second home to be a live in a free country and uh i'm beginning to get really scared
01:58:26.020
because the way things are going it looks like they're going to basically appease islamists just to
01:58:34.440
not raise any raucous or something they're just going to appease them step by step and uh they're
01:58:40.760
not going to stop they see it as a sign of weakness so they're going to take more and more and i'm
01:58:46.000
against that i believe canada should be free and freedom of speech is something that nobody can take
01:58:50.760
okay let me give you some good news on kind of a different subject
01:58:57.160
you can look at what's happening over in the middle east right now and you can say oh this is
01:59:05.400
so much trouble or you can look at it and say the middle east understands force they understand
01:59:14.780
strongmen they understand somebody who says knock it off or i'm coming in so they understand the
01:59:22.060
middle east understands donald trump they did not understand barack obama they do not understand or
01:59:27.620
respect somebody like joe biden they feel that's just all weakness they understand and so what is
01:59:34.440
happening i want you to listen to this is an egyptian activist okay talking about what is happening
01:59:41.660
in the middle east and in egypt listen to this my fellow arabs especially in the arab gulf country
01:59:48.540
countries they are going through waves of relief that finally this sonny shia dynamic is coming to an
01:59:59.980
end with the fall of the iranian regime which is a big deal a big relief to the entire region
02:00:06.320
unfortunately the feeling shifted in the arab on the arab side from relief and very much excitement
02:00:13.340
and happiness to disbelief and fear it's coming from the fact that for the first time arab gulf
02:00:21.460
countries are under direct attack this never happened before so this is forcing the realignment that we
02:00:30.460
have been seeing in the region to accelerate actually in a good way i believe it's i know it's very the
02:00:36.700
perspective now is very dark but this realignment is going into a very positive direction and even more
02:00:45.140
they are taking the side of israel and the united states in the fight against this enemy it's huge it's a huge
02:00:55.760
got it things are it's a game changer in the region a game changer
02:01:04.020
one last thing way off the beaten path but the same subject
02:01:10.180
tim walls was on capitol hill and he was talking about the misuse of all of the federal funds in
02:01:18.580
minnesota and you can say this is about you know you're a racist to bring up that it was somalis etc etc but
02:01:25.220
there's a reason why this was happening and nobody wants to talk about it and why all of the politicians
02:01:32.600
were involved and why the minnesota state flag was changed and it is almost the somali flag okay
02:01:41.620
when they change that and you compare a and b the minnesota flag now with a somali flag you barely can
02:01:48.120
tell the difference you're like wait a minute what just happened here okay you cannot win to be a
02:01:53.820
politician without appeasing the muslim somali population here's here is tim walls completely
02:02:03.100
he says oblivious to you know anybody that has been murdered by any kind of migrant in minnesota
02:02:13.820
listen to this cut 13 governor waltz do you know who victoria eileen harwell is i do not believe i do
02:02:22.060
what about american mafalda tire i don't believe i do there uh these are minnesota women who were
02:02:31.380
brutally killed by illegal aliens in your state you don't know who they are so i would also assume
1.00
