00:00:14.740 The last few years have taught me something that I don't think enough people want to admit.

00:00:19.760 The system we count on every single day in this country isn't as sturdy as it looks.

00:00:24.540 All it takes is a little trouble in the wrong part of the world and shipping bottleneck a shortage of one key ingredient.

00:00:29.700 major disruption overseas and everything changes and it's getting harder and harder to find the

00:00:34.660 things that you need and when it comes to medication that's not an inconvenience that's

00:03:07.060 opened her business you know you know working out of the house of the three bears she first started 1.00

00:03:11.680 out with too little insurance and then after a couple of lawsuits she got paranoid bought way

00:03:16.140 too much insurance and then she discovered super sure and now the amount of insurance that goldilocks

00:03:21.520 had was just right for business enough said that i mean then the bears came home and ate her um she

00:03:29.780 should have thought less about insurance and more about you're working with bears what do you expect

00:04:32.580 Well, you know, getting off the white here, criticizing my sleeves.

00:04:38.760 You shall not pass!

00:04:43.880 I am wearing an awful lot of white today.

00:04:45.800 I wear a T-shirt and a sweatshirt that's white.

00:04:49.080 And then my white hair.

00:04:50.240 I mean, if I had a white background,

00:04:51.520 you wouldn't see anything but a pink little smudge

00:04:53.580 in the middle of your picture if you're watching.

00:04:55.080 I hate to ask, but what color are your shoes?

00:04:59.460 I don't know.

00:05:01.080 They're tennis shoes.

00:05:02.480 They're white.

00:05:03.100 They're white.

00:05:04.140 Sweet baby Jesus.

00:05:07.100 The spirit of Christ compels you to tell the truth.

00:05:11.820 um so anyway uh i'm in the new michael landon uh you know reboot of uh heaven what was it heaven

00:05:18.500 angel what was that called heaven can wait heaven can wait yeah no no no highway to heaven highway

00:05:25.040 to heaven highway to heaven that's what it was unlike highway to hell which was in a different

00:05:30.120 direction entirely um but anyway uh so jason you're just embracing your hillbilly i mean i think that's

00:05:37.500 fine i really do i think i i figure if i have botox in my face i have to compensate somehow

00:05:44.160 with with a little bit of more of a i don't i'm still trying i'm still trying wait wait wait

00:05:49.560 smile let me see you smile it's starting to set in is it can you smile it's still kind of bad

00:05:55.840 yeah jason looks a whole year younger no look at that he's got i mean i'm worse i've got just

00:06:04.160 Have you seen this giant scar on the side of my face?

00:06:06.360 No, everything about you is perfect, except for your outfit today.

00:06:09.340 Thank you.

00:06:09.820 Thank you.

00:06:10.620 I'm a little bit worried, though.

00:06:11.860 I've got a giant scar on my face.

00:06:13.960 I don't see anything.

00:06:15.640 It's supposed to take two weeks, but I'm starting to think this might be saline.

00:06:20.040 I guess that's what you get with Ali Botox.

00:06:23.380 That makes your story worse about passing out.

00:06:26.700 You had saline injected in you, and you almost passed out.

00:06:29.760 Okay.

00:06:30.340 Smile.

00:06:30.980 Just smile hard.

00:06:33.020 Yeah.

00:06:33.380 Look, it's not moving.

00:06:35.240 His upper cheeks are not moving.

00:06:37.320 This is a day to become a torch and setter so you can watch Jason attempt to smile.

00:06:40.760 Look at that.

00:06:41.520 His face is not moving.

00:06:43.920 It is moving.

00:06:44.700 That's terrifying.

00:06:46.180 It's not moving.

00:06:47.440 Look at it.

00:06:48.640 Make a straight face.

00:06:49.860 Straight face.

00:06:50.440 Watch it.

00:06:50.760 Watch it.

00:06:52.800 We'll do the play-by-play.

00:06:54.080 Okay.

00:06:54.740 Put your smile down.

00:06:56.000 Put your smile down.

00:06:56.800 Okay.

00:06:57.740 Okay.

00:07:09.420 i'm happy i mean there's no change oh my gosh okay well yeah the man with a paralyzed face uh

00:07:20.060 is uh joining us chasing botox buttrel oh wow wow i think i need the t-shirt um okay so uh let's see

00:07:30.520 let me just go through the things that are probably the, you know,

00:07:34.220 the most important. And I think, I think because it's Friday,

00:07:37.740 I have to start with AOC. Uh, wow.

00:07:42.840 She is historically stupid. Um, I mean, 1.00

00:07:47.120 she is one for the record books and she was doing an interview, uh,

00:07:54.000 on a podcast hosted by a comedian, Elena Glazer.

00:07:58.920 i don't know who that is um and uh and there's a few things that she said here let's start with

00:08:05.200 cut one there's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned right stop stop

00:08:14.560 stop stop i want to start at the beginning remember what remember what barack obama said

00:08:20.220 that everybody had a cow over that's what he said look there's a certain amount of money where

00:08:26.080 you know it's just too much money really what was that certain amount of money barack obama is it

00:08:32.060 is it enough money for i mean you have to have enough money to buy a house in hawaii and a house

00:08:38.080 in washington and a house in uh where was it not nantucket but martha's vineyard is that

00:08:44.080 the cap where is the cap for these people you know where is the cap so but that's not she's

00:08:50.160 she's going further than that in this she's not just saying there's a certain amount of money

00:08:55.140 where it's just too much money she is going further start it from the beginning and listen

00:09:01.120 what she says there's a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned right you can't

00:09:10.920 earn a billion dollars that's right you just can't earn that that's exactly correct okay stop stop

00:09:19.160 no it's not no it's not who are you you're a comedian shut the pie hole what do you mean

00:09:24.040 that's absolutely correct you can't earn a billion dollars there's a difference between you can't earn

00:09:29.600 it and AOC you would never be able to earn it um are you telling me that Thomas Edison are you

00:09:39.360 telling me that Henry Ford are you telling me that uh Elon Musk are you telling me that all the jobs

00:09:47.960 created, that he created all of these jobs, introduced all of this new technology, changed

00:09:55.160 the world, and he didn't earn the million dollars of extra profit after paying all of the hundreds

00:10:03.680 of thousands of employees and changing their lives? Really? What do you mean you can't earn it?

00:10:10.400 This bothers me so much. Look, what you do with the billion dollars, now that could be discussed

00:10:17.800 privately. I mean, that, you know, we don't have a reason to judge people on what they do with

00:10:22.160 their money. You know, what they do with their money is their business. Okay. I do think, you

00:10:28.200 know, somebody who has a trillion dollars, imagine what you could do with a trillion dollars. You

00:10:32.060 could either live the life and have a, you know, 500 foot yacht and do an awful lot of charitable

00:10:38.620 work. But you know, what you do is up to you, the individual, but you were the one who had the

00:10:46.480 vision you were the one it's it's it's a little different than being somebody who comes into a

00:10:52.120 company and you're not going to be a trillionaire or a billionaire if you're the one that just comes

00:10:57.420 into the company and you're just running a company that's run for 100 years and you're making more

00:11:02.660 money just by cutting people you know i mean that's that's different and i don't think i don't

00:11:10.940 think you could earn a billion dollars not that you wouldn't not that you couldn't be paid a

00:11:17.960 billion dollars i don't think you would be paid a billion dollars in that case to just cut jobs

00:11:23.220 okay um although there is a kind of a scary skill in that but when you are creating something i mean

00:11:30.840 look at elon musk he's going to be the first trillionaire he's going to be i can't even

00:11:36.480 imagine what that's like i mean you you will have he will have more money i mean he'll honestly

00:11:42.100 he'll have more money than the united states of america has he won't have more assets but he'll

00:11:46.600 have more money than the united states of america uh as a country um so having that kind of money

00:11:53.980 that kind of wealth but tell me if it wasn't for him think of self-driving cars that's pretty much

00:12:01.720 him uh electric cars as we know them that's pretty much him all of the all of the technology

00:12:08.320 that he developed for his electric cars he gave it to the world for free he didn't take a patent

00:12:15.240 on that so now you're telling me that he didn't earn it there's nobody that could do what elon

00:12:21.540 must and believe me you're not going to become a billionaire if you're not doing something if you

00:12:26.020 haven't come up with something that uh that changes everybody's life i i uh a good friend

00:12:33.740 of mine um john huntsman senior big industrialist uh passed away i don't know five years ten years

00:12:40.800 ago um he told me one time he asked me the question what's the difference between a

00:12:44.560 millionaire and a billionaire and i said uh money i said i don't know john he said a millionaire

00:12:52.920 comes up with something that helps people. A billionaire comes up with something that helps

00:13:02.460 people every day. Okay. That's the difference. You've made such an impact in people's lives

00:13:11.120 that you have come up with something that people use every single day. You know, the guy, if,

00:13:17.920 if toilet paper hadn't been invented, uh, and some guy, you know, Mr. Crapper comes out and

00:13:24.280 he's like, Hey, you know, no, just have that indoor plumbing thing. But I also have this

00:13:28.280 other idea, toilet paper. I think the world would make him a billionaire. We'd go from,

00:13:33.520 I don't even know using towels or whatever they use leaves. I don't know what people use before.

00:13:37.580 I don't even want to think about it, but I'd pay the person that came up with the idea of toilet

00:13:41.740 paper. I think the world would make him a billionaire and damn well he earned every

00:13:46.300 bit of that money every bit of it i i despise these people who look at money as only evil or 0.89

00:13:59.420 not infinite they are the people who go and if i took a if i took a water truck and i backed it up

00:14:09.680 into the ocean and i filled that water truck they'd say how much water are you i mean leave

00:14:15.540 some for the rest of us. And all you'd have to do is turn back to the ocean and go, have you seen

00:14:20.680 how big and deep the ocean is? There's plenty of water for everybody. They think there's this

00:14:26.320 finite amount of money. And that's why people get trapped in, we got to cut, we got to cut,

00:14:34.500 we got to cut. Yes, we do have to cut our expenses here as a nation. But the other way also to get

00:14:41.140 out of this hole is to grow the economy because there is much more money to be made and earned

00:14:48.280 that's that's why we're putting all this money into energy and energy is what to be able to

00:14:54.960 have the power to power ai ai is to do what to change the way all of us live hopefully in a good

00:15:03.300 way change the way we all live and to be able to create things like new medicines that nobody has

00:15:10.260 ever done before it's an infinite amount it's an infinite because i'm wealthy doesn't mean you

00:15:18.700 i'm not taking that money from you why do they feel such personal offense

00:15:24.240 why i believe it's because they've convinced themselves and others that they can't make

00:15:32.640 money they can't be rich they can't and that rich is the only thing that matters

00:15:37.400 and the only way you can get rich and i bet you in her world the only way to get rich

00:15:43.400 is to do something uh you know in politics probably unethical how do you get rich in

00:15:50.980 politics you shouldn't be able to get rich in politics yet they're all getting rich why because

00:15:55.500 honestly they do stuff and they make it legal for them so they can say i'm living by the letter of

00:16:01.140 the law they make it legal for them stuff that's illegal for us to do insider trading etc etc so

00:16:06.740 They see in their own world, the only way to get rich is to cheat other people.

00:16:12.280 No.

00:16:13.440 Capitalism is the greatest.

00:16:16.600 If you really understand capitalism and you've read, please read Adam Smith's

00:16:24.320 Not Just Wealth of Nations, but what's the one before it?

00:16:30.360 Moral Sentiments.

00:16:31.980 Read Moral Sentiments.

00:16:33.340 because that's when you'll begin to understand capitalism if capitalism is done the way it is

00:16:39.720 now it's grotesque but if capitalism is understood through the through the eyes the way our founders

00:16:46.240 saw it and the way adam smith saw it with moral sentiments that you get wealthy because you've

00:16:53.540 created something that helps other people live an easier and better life i.e toilet paper

00:17:00.480 or, you know, Tesla or SpaceX or the satellites he's now ringing the earth with that has cut down

00:17:11.240 on people being completely voiceless all around the world. You can now communicate with people

00:17:19.260 all over the world at an affordable way because of Elon Musk. He didn't earn that.

00:17:24.260 he has made life easier and better for other people. When you set out and you, if you're

00:17:31.300 thinking, you know what, someday I'm going to get rich, you'll never get rich. You'll never get

00:17:35.320 rich. If that's your goal to get rich, you will end up compromising and doing things just to get

00:17:41.000 rich. That won't be good. You should get up every day and go, how can I make people have an easier

00:17:48.400 life? What can I provide? This is what we say every day. What, what do the, what does the

00:17:53.220 listener need today what do they need to learn today what do they need to understand today what

00:17:57.500 do they need to hear today that we can help them with to make their life easier when you do that

00:18:04.320 and you do it genuinely that's why people beat a path to your door because you're providing

00:18:10.280 something that nobody else is providing and moral sentiments says if you're a bad group of people

00:18:17.020 you know that that have no moral standards at all then it will be drug and pornography and

00:18:22.860 everything else. But if you're a good people, if you have moral sentiments, then you're providing

00:18:27.880 things that uplift and empower. AOC, stop thinking of your own world where you can only get rich

00:18:37.040 by doing things that are dirty. You can get rich by helping people, by empowering people,

00:18:44.820 by making their lives better. That's true capitalism as our founders saw it. And the

00:18:50.660 only way to return to that is to return to a people that have moral sentiments not people who

00:18:58.160 preach one thing and live another back in just a second let me tell you about lifelock doesn't

00:20:12.660 I don't know if I have the stomach to finish that clip from AOC, but here's the rest of that clip.

00:20:26.200 You can get market power. You can break rules. You can do all sorts of things.

00:20:33.940 You can abuse labor laws. You can pay people less than what they're worth. 0.61

00:20:38.260 You can invent things.

00:20:38.780 But you can't earn that, right?

00:20:40.560 And so you have to create a myth that since you didn't earn that,

00:20:48.520 you have to create a myth of earning it.

00:20:52.640 Stop.

00:20:53.400 What does that even mean?

00:20:55.200 Is Elon Musk building spaceships that can be reused,

00:21:01.020 that go up into space,

00:21:03.020 and then the booster rocket comes down and he catches it.

00:21:06.720 is that a myth or reality how much money is that going to save how much easier you know what they're

00:21:15.980 building at nasa they're building two of these towers and then they're building another uh

00:21:20.740 another building right next to where they're building the rockets he is building a system

00:21:25.780 to where you can take one rocket send it up to space then that rocket comes back down it is

00:21:33.000 caught. It's then moved automatically by this arm moved onto a launch pad where they begin to

00:21:39.760 refuel it. The arm lets go, goes to this other building, grabs onto a new rocket, puts it on

00:21:46.220 another launch pad. They start filling that up and shoot that one off. So you're going to be able

00:21:53.340 to do things that nobody has ever done before. That's not a myth. That's reality. What do you

00:21:59.200 mean you can't earn that? Who else has changed people's lives as much as he has? And quite

00:22:07.060 honestly, I think it is so appropriate that his company, one of his companies is called Tesla

00:22:11.920 because it's exactly what Tesla did in his life. You know, Tesla, if you ever see those light bulbs

00:22:18.040 that you don't screw in, you kind of push them in, they have a little, you know, kind of like a

00:22:22.140 little, I don't know, nub on it and you kind of put it in and then you turn it and lock it in.

00:22:26.300 it's it doesn't look like the one that you screw in it's just slightly different you kind of pop

00:22:30.120 them into the light socket that's the tesla light bulb okay that's the one he invented because of a

00:22:37.720 a squabble between him and edison you know he gave all of this technology away he gave it all away

00:22:44.720 why because he said there's always money to be made it's just another i just have to have another

00:22:50.700 idea there's always money to be made i was talking to a friend of mine yesterday and um

00:22:56.120 He said, are you worried about things financially and stuff?

00:22:58.820 And I said, no, I'm not worried.

00:23:00.460 I've been rich.

00:23:01.100 I've been poor.

00:23:01.660 I've been happy in both.

00:23:03.360 I've been miserable on both sides as well until I readjusted my attitude.

00:23:08.680 I've been happy, poor.

00:23:09.580 I've been happy, rich.

00:23:10.800 But there's just the next idea.

00:23:15.260 That is the deal.

00:23:16.920 It's not a limited amount of money, and it's not a limited amount of ideas.

00:23:21.720 If you want to just keep retreading, you become Hollywood.

00:23:24.400 and then you go out of business eventually because you have no new ideas have new ideas

00:23:29.320 have new ways to serve people and it's unlimited the things that you can create and yes you can

00:23:35.320 earn it elon musk has all right back in just a second let me tell you about simply safe when it

00:23:40.440 comes to the home security system that protects your family you don't want something that is

00:23:48.920 the safety of people that you love the most in a place where they sleep at night so it makes sense

00:25:01.400 it's friday glad to have uh senator rick scott from the great state of florida on

00:25:20.980 with us to talk about you know some of the things that have happened this week and get

00:25:24.340 his perspective on and senator it's great to have you on thanks for joining me i want to start with

00:25:28.900 the Save America Act. What the hell? Seriously, what the hell? Why can't we get that done?

00:25:37.600 Well, you know, I can tell you, it's frustrating. Democrats want it. Republicans want it.

00:25:43.040 Independents want it. So, but the only way we're going to get done, you know who the only person

00:25:47.420 does, you know, there's a few Republicans, but, but it's the Democrats don't want it because the

00:25:53.060 Democrat senators don't want it because they want the fraud. So the only way it's going to happen

00:25:57.120 is we have to do the talking filibuster

00:26:01.300 or get rid of the filibuster. 0.84

00:26:02.760 The filibuster was never supposed to be used

00:26:04.520 to stop legislation or nominations.

00:26:07.000 We've already had to change it for judges.

00:26:08.720 We've already had to change it for nominations.

00:26:10.820 So if we're not going to require people to talk

00:26:14.280 and when they finish talking, vote,

00:26:17.400 then get rid of it.

00:26:19.300 Yes.

00:26:20.820 You know, people are like,

00:26:23.680 you changed your mind on the filibuster.

00:26:25.220 No, no, no.

00:26:25.580 i learned about the filibuster i didn't change i learned about the filibuster i always thought

00:26:31.300 the filibuster was the jimmy stewart you know mr smith goes to washington filibuster where you

00:26:36.320 talk well they changed that rule you know the progressives did in the 1970s and now it just

00:26:42.840 means i can shoot an email out and say hey i'm my um i filibuster this and then it's over and

00:26:48.500 it's a 60 vote if you want to save the jimmy stewart goes to washington then you have to

00:26:54.220 have the talking filibuster if the republicans are not going to do anything about it well then

00:27:00.940 i don't want the other filibuster because the other filibuster is nonsense it's nonsense

00:27:06.440 filibuster if i'm not mistaken you would know senator filibuster was was designed to slow

00:27:11.960 things down to give people time to catch up and go wait a minute wait a minute what is that

00:27:17.320 to slow the process down not to stop it but to slow it down make people talk have a conversation

00:27:25.920 you know clarence thomas yeah clarence thomas didn't get 60 votes he got 52 votes

00:27:31.340 right so what they what happened you know before harry reid what has happened is you talked and

00:27:38.580 eventually there was a vote to say you know we're done talking we never we're not going to change

00:27:42.980 What the vote requires is still a majority vote, but we're just going to stop talking.

00:27:49.980 So, I mean, think about it.

00:27:51.760 The Civil Rights Act, they went through the filibuster for something like 40-some days.

00:27:57.840 Eventually, people came together and said, okay, we can pass this.

00:28:01.440 And that's what we ought to be doing.

00:28:02.620 Either we have to talk, and then we decide, okay, we're done, then we vote.

00:28:08.540 so senator the when we we look at this um i look at what happened in indiana this week you look at

00:28:20.940 indiana the you know the the the old guard was pretty much thrown out on their ear um and i think

00:28:29.980 people republicans voters are really tired of this and you're like wait you wanted the house

00:28:36.120 the senate and the white house and now you also have you know a good handle on the supreme court

00:28:41.620 and you're not willing to do something that has 80 percent popularity do the people in the senate

00:28:47.220 and the house understand their constituents are done with them we're not playing this game anymore

00:28:53.000 oh i think people are fed glenn i think people are fed up around this country i think people

00:28:57.560 are fed up with people getting elected they say oh we we care about the debt oh we we care about

00:29:04.320 oh, we're going to watch the money.

00:29:05.440 We care about inflation.

00:29:06.360 We want to make sure you get a job.

00:29:07.680 Oh, we're going to do all these things.

00:29:09.380 Then they get to Washington and they say,

00:29:12.140 hey, buddy, hey, we're all friends here.

00:29:14.500 Let's don't go push anything.

00:29:16.100 Let's, you know, let's,

00:29:16.960 oh, let's don't take any tough votes.

00:29:18.780 No, let's go fight for what the hell we said about we ran.

00:29:22.420 I tell people,

00:29:23.140 if I don't do what I said I was going to do when I ran,

00:29:26.840 don't vote for me.

00:29:28.920 Right.

00:29:29.680 It's not fair to you.

00:29:31.700 I'm a business guy.

00:29:32.760 If I didn't do what I said I was going to do, nobody would do a deal with me.

00:29:37.580 So let me ask you a hard question about the war in Iran.

00:29:42.340 A lot of people are interpreting what Donald Trump said, no wars, blah, blah, blah.

00:29:47.500 They look at this Iran thing and they say, he's betrayed us.

00:29:51.160 He promised no wars.

00:29:52.860 How do you square that circle in your head?

00:29:55.100 Well, first off, he doesn't want a war.

00:29:57.960 He doesn't want to put boots on the ground.

00:30:00.100 He has zero interest in this.

00:30:02.260 But guess what? He has the job of the commander in chief and his responsibilities to protect American lives.

00:30:07.900 So are we supposed to wait until a nuclear weapon goes off in New York City?

00:30:12.080 Is that what we should do? Then we can go to war.

00:30:15.040 Or should we do it when we know they want to get a nuclear weapon and destroy you and me and our families?

00:30:20.620 Should we do it now or wait till the nuclear weapon goes off? 0.62

00:30:23.920 I think we ought to do it now. And that's what he's done.

00:30:26.900 And he's done everything he can to make sure we don't put troops at risk.

00:30:30.980 and we hold them accountable so look i'm i'm i'm very appreciative he did i think it's hard

00:30:38.540 and it was a hard choice he made but he made the right decision so now we are looking at four dollars

00:30:45.560 and 58 cents on average nationally that's the highest it's been since russia and ukraine uh

00:30:51.040 russia invaded ukraine in 2022 um what is the what are your thoughts on this does this

00:30:58.520 peace hold? Does it get better?

00:31:01.420 What's going to happen?

00:31:02.460 What do you say to people who are

00:31:04.820 like, I can't afford that

00:31:06.600 for gasoline?

00:31:09.120 Well, first off, I grew up in

00:31:10.560 public housing. I watched my parents

00:31:12.880 struggle for food. So I

00:31:14.160 see what people are going through, and it's tough.

00:31:18.680 That's

00:31:19.080 why one of the things Trump did, it was a tough

00:31:20.780 choice. He had to make it to save our lives.

00:31:23.260 But this is a president that has done

00:31:24.860 everything he can to get oil and gas prices down.

00:31:26.800 in contrast to the Democrats.

00:31:28.700 If any Democrat says, oh, they're worried about it

00:31:30.540 and they're complaining about it,

00:31:31.500 they try to destroy the oil and gas industry.

00:31:34.420 Look at California.

00:31:36.820 So hopefully this is going to be short-term.

00:31:40.480 Hopefully, one, we'll get peace and prosperity

00:31:42.520 in the Middle East,

00:31:43.920 and we'll actually get lower and lower gas prices,

00:31:46.560 especially with what hopefully goes on in Venezuela

00:31:48.780 if we get a democracy there.

00:31:50.920 So we'll even see lower prices.

00:31:52.480 But the pain, I know the pain's tough right now.

00:31:56.800 um let me switch to fauci here uh the statute of limitations up on fauci on monday uh we're now

00:32:05.920 seeing we're going to have a real problem if this um this virus this new uh hantavirus or hantavirus

00:32:11.980 uh is you know turns out to be something really and terrifying um you're gonna have a hard time

00:32:17.900 because nobody's paid for the last nobody's gonna nobody's gonna believe anybody to do

00:32:24.060 We've lost all trust.

00:32:25.480 And Glenn, you're right.

00:32:26.340 There's no trust.

00:32:27.000 There's no trust in NIH.

00:32:28.960 There's no trust in CDC.

00:32:30.680 Right now, we've lost trust in a lot of these federal agencies, and it's because they lied to us.

00:32:35.340 Fauci just made stuff up.

00:32:37.580 He had no idea, and then they covered up.

00:32:40.000 So first he lied, right?

00:32:42.220 He made stuff up, and then they did everything they can.

00:32:44.640 Oh, if you didn't agree with him, we're going to ruin your life.

00:32:48.660 So I hope that he gets indicted.

00:32:51.340 He needs to get indicted.

00:32:52.280 And look, and let's see, I don't, I can't imagine.

00:32:55.880 Is it going to happen?

00:32:57.700 I don't know.

00:32:59.080 Um, it's, I mean, it's all these things are hard.

00:33:01.920 I mean, I can't imagine the Biden auto pin pardon means anything.

00:33:05.860 Um, so, but we'll find it.

00:33:08.660 We'll find out next week.

00:33:11.340 FISA authorization, uh, came to the Senate with, uh, the, uh, ban on a CBDC.

00:33:19.100 Uh, and then the Senate pulled that out.

00:33:21.080 I mean, what was that all about?

00:33:25.520 And I mean, can we get anything in exchange for things that a lot of people think is really bad?

00:33:31.380 Can we get a win here on anything?

00:33:34.820 Well, I don't believe we're going to need Pfizer reauthorized unless we're going to see some changes.

00:33:39.860 I've been surveilled after January 6th.

00:33:42.240 Under Biden, they stole my tax returns, released them to ProPublica.

00:33:45.440 Nothing happened there.

00:33:46.860 Back when I built the largest hospital company,

00:33:49.720 I went against Hillary Care, 0.99

00:33:51.560 so the Clintons went after me.

00:33:52.840 So anyway, if they can do that to a senator,

00:33:54.840 if they can do it to somebody running a big company,

00:33:57.180 they can do it to you.

00:33:58.040 So we have to see change.

00:34:00.760 So we, you know, right now the Senate,

00:34:04.080 we don't have an agreement.

00:34:05.360 All we did was punted

00:34:06.820 because people can't come to agreement.

00:34:08.720 We are going to get change.

00:34:11.160 I think we need to have a warrant requirement.

00:34:13.540 We need to have more accountability.

00:34:14.960 To this day, I don't think anybody that surveilled us after January 6th, anybody, all the 278,000 have surveilled, nobody's gone to jail.

00:34:23.740 Nobody's been held accountable.

00:34:24.820 I don't know if anybody's been fired.

00:34:26.720 So if there's no accountability, and then we're just going to keep doing the same thing, why would the American public elect us?

00:34:34.140 And the problem is it won't be the same thing.

00:34:36.900 It will get worse if what you learn is, wow, I can get away with that.

00:34:41.540 It'll only get worse. 0.93

00:34:42.940 Let me switch to China.

00:34:44.600 i'm sorry i just have so many things i'd love to talk to you about um let me switch to china

00:34:48.600 president's going over to china which i'm concerned about just on safety personally um

00:34:54.820 and i'm not going over to china he's making what would you say i'm not gonna go

00:35:00.740 because of that yeah it's not safe oh well i mean yeah why is the president going why that is not

00:35:09.980 a good idea. I'm so concerned

00:35:12.280 about that.

00:35:13.260 They are not our friends.

00:35:16.980 They have elected to be

00:35:18.180 our enemy. 0.87

00:35:20.480 Think of how many Americans they've killed

00:35:22.200 with fentanyl. They tried to destroy

00:35:24.140 all of our companies.

00:35:25.640 They're threatening our allies. They've already taken over

00:35:28.080 some islands

00:35:29.420 from the Philippines. They're threatening 0.66

00:35:32.160 Taiwan all the time. 0.99

00:35:33.900 These are 1.00

00:35:34.560 they steal organs from their own citizens. 1.00

00:35:39.120 I mean, it is their most despicable people you can imagine, the leadership of China. 0.99

00:35:44.980 Xi is a despicable person. 0.81

00:35:47.140 He put a guy, Jimmy Lai, a friend of mine, in prison only because he ran a newspaper in Hong Kong 0.91

00:35:51.780 before Xi illegally took away all the basic rights of the Hong Kong citizens.

00:35:56.440 He's been in solitary confinement for five years.

00:35:59.200 He's 78 years old.

00:36:01.300 So, I mean, look, I admire President Trump.

00:36:04.940 I admire his guts, and I would never bet against him, but I think that there's nothing good that's going to happen.

00:36:15.240 That scares me.

00:36:16.960 I wish you didn't think that way.

00:36:19.940 Are we going to go after some of the money that is in China?

00:36:22.800 I mean, China is undermining us.

00:36:24.180 This Neville Singham thing is out of control.

00:36:27.420 or is anybody going to stop all this foreign money that's coming in from China that is screwing with 0.94

00:36:33.620 our elections clearly just washing through our education system but that is I never thought I'd

00:36:39.740 say this that's the least of our problems the stuff that they are pumping into the political

00:36:44.320 system is obscene and they'd never put up with it why are we oh no you couldn't do anything like

00:36:51.080 this there we shouldn't be putting up with it but first off let's remember it starts with all of us 0.98

00:36:57.160 Do not do everything you can never to buy anything if it's made in China. 0.96

00:37:01.340 And if you buy something and you find out it's made in China, send it back. 1.00

00:37:05.180 I mean, they want, they are despicable. 1.00

00:37:07.780 And, you know, one thing I've been working on, do you realize that almost all of our drugs, our generic drugs, the ingredients come from China?

00:37:14.760 So do you think that's safe?

00:37:16.960 It's not safe.

00:37:18.580 Do you trust them if there's another crisis that they're going to send us the drugs we need?

00:37:23.240 I mean, we all as Americans have to say to ourselves, unfortunately, we have some people that don't like us.

00:37:29.620 Don't do business with them. 0.88

00:37:31.000 Don't buy anything from China. 0.99

00:37:32.860 And then we've got to go investigate all this stuff.

00:37:36.360 I mean, there's a group called Code Pink that protests me.

00:37:40.060 And it's all China and Russian money.

00:37:43.000 I mean, they protest me in the capital all the time.

00:37:45.900 It's all the money.

00:37:47.180 And so they've got to be investigated.

00:37:49.680 This has got to be stopped.

00:37:50.820 so you know honestly senator the problem is really not with the investigations i mean

00:37:57.140 the senate and the house you guys have done some good investigations and then nothing happens

00:38:03.540 it really is on the justice department and i'm glad to see our new attorney general or at least

00:38:09.060 the acting attorney general actually moving on some things but we've got to get some action from

00:38:14.180 the doj they've got to prosecute the things when you have findings from your investigations

00:38:19.520 I agree. You know, one thing you learn, and I was governor for eight years and I've done this, is your time is fleeting. So if you're the attorney general, your time's fleeting. You've got to, what can I get done today? And do it. Just move as fast as you can and get things done. So I think Todd Blanch is a very good person who wants to get things done. So hopefully some of these things are going to happen. They have to happen.

00:38:45.320 I will tell you, they have to, they, you know,

00:38:47.820 I was talking to Marco Rubio and the vice president and they said, you know,

00:38:54.100 you know what? I, cause I said, you guys are just killing it right now.

00:38:56.540 And they said, no, no, no, it's not us. It's him.

00:38:58.500 Every day he calls us in the office and says,

00:39:00.940 what are we going to do today that makes real change?

00:39:04.220 What are we doing today? And he said, they are focused.

00:39:08.060 He is focused on today. And that's what has,

00:39:11.780 that attitude has to be all across our government.

00:39:14.480 It has to be, especially the GOP.

00:39:17.200 You have limited days.

00:39:18.920 What are you going to do today to make life better for, if not me, at least my children in the future?

00:39:26.980 Rick, thank you so much.

00:39:29.560 He's doing something every second.

00:39:32.200 I know.

00:39:32.760 Don't know how anybody keeps up with him.

00:39:34.300 Senator Rick Scott, thank you so much.

00:39:36.520 Appreciate it.

00:39:36.760 Mike Lynn, take care.

00:39:37.700 Bye-bye.

00:39:38.320 You bet.

00:39:39.060 His website, of course, is rickscott.senate.gov.

00:39:42.540 All right.

00:39:42.800 Let me tell you about Z Factor.

00:39:43.880 finally the end of the day no more cares no more worries nothing left to do everybody's in bed

00:39:49.820 lights have finally gone out of the house and you're lying there with your head on the pillow

00:39:52.960 you've said your prayers you're ready for the peaceful release of sleep and it doesn't come

00:39:57.780 and now you roll around in bed for a while maybe you get up walk around the house you're still

00:40:03.260 wide awake i i'm familiar with this here's the good news one thing uh about this is you're not

00:40:09.300 alone and we could just all call each other at night or we could do uh what my wife started and

00:40:15.060 now i do every night uh z factor take z factors from the makers of relief factor 100 drug-free

00:40:21.360 way to help you fall asleep faster stay asleep uh better um uh and just get the rest you need

00:40:27.840 to reset z factor it is a formula of four all natural ingredients to calm your mind relax your

00:40:34.780 body so you can ease into sleep you can get to sleep faster and sleep through the night give

00:40:39.180 z factor a try right now save 46 off your first order 1995 30 day supply 1-800-4-relief 1-800

00:40:46.200 the number four relief uh relieffactor.com better sleep better days from z factor and the makers of

00:40:53.700 relieffactor.com glenn beck

00:40:57.040 i used to think that a mattress was just furniture basically until i got my ghost bed

00:41:12.520 oh i love this thing ghost bed doesn't just build mattresses like furniture they build

00:41:16.940 engineered sleep systems and i will tell you working around this place with someone like

00:41:22.380 Glenn Beck for 28 years, you need your sleep. That's confirmed. Their beds are serious health

00:41:28.700 equipment. These are beds that are designed for relief and recovery, not just looks, not just

00:41:33.240 fluff. Your body should be healing you while you sleep, not just fighting you for whether you're

00:41:38.300 going to be comfortable or not. I noticed the difference right away. When you wake up, you're

00:41:42.240 not stiff. You're not tossing and turning all night. You're not sleeping hot. The temperature

00:41:46.540 control here is awesome. Even reaching for a pain reliever before bed, hoping that night will be

00:41:52.260 different. Hopefully you're not doing that because that's not aging. That very well could be your

00:41:56.280 mattress talking. And here's another thing about Ghostbed that I think you're going to like.

00:41:59.980 101 nights to try it at home, not two, not seven nights, 101 nights to try it at home. If you don't

00:42:06.920 feel the difference by then, maybe you're not going to, but you can send it back risk-free.

00:42:11.040 I don't think that's going to happen though. Honestly, Ghostbed is currently having the

00:46:01.100 this week nick shirley who honestly is changing the world this kid is doing stuff that that

00:46:09.300 honestly i've i've not been able to do a lot of people have not been able to do

00:46:13.000 and now thank god people like cbs news um you've got the daily wire you have the blaze you have

00:46:20.860 all of these organizations that are following in his footsteps he's the kid that went out and said

00:46:26.580 i just want to go see if this corruption is real he's the guy who found the leering centers

00:46:31.100 in minnesota well he was in cuba and um and it you know i think it's kind of scared him a bit

00:46:39.700 almost he says maybe almost taken hostage let me see if i can find his i went to cuba

00:46:46.740 to document the humanitarian crisis and show life under 60 years of communism

00:46:51.080 and now admits the u.s blockade once i landed they seized all my cameras except for my iphone

00:46:56.460 and had intelligence agents following me all day until my security noticed their spies telling us

00:47:01.320 uh tailing us to the hotel where they waited all night for us to come down under communism there

00:47:07.600 is no free speech and those who show reality or speak up are in prison me going without a planned

00:47:13.320 cuban government guide nearly got me and my security team uh team taken hostage or in prison

00:47:18.460 situation in cuba is much worse than anyone knows he said he had more information on this and he was

00:47:24.660 releasing a new video that video is coming out i understand in minutes uh we're going to get the

00:47:28.940 scoop from him and find out exactly what happened to him and what is he going to reveal in this

00:47:34.860 video. Nick Shirley, really modern, everyday American, really changing things. We're going

00:47:44.600 to talk to him here in just a second. Stand by. First, let me tell you about real estate agents

00:47:48.760 I trust. Buying or selling a house, you know, would probably be a lot less stressful if human

00:47:53.780 beings were robots. You know, purely logical creatures. You just look at the numbers, you

00:47:58.640 make a calm decision, sign the paperwork, move on with your life. But that's not how it works

00:48:02.420 yet until ai takes over in real life people get emotional they fall in love with houses that they

00:48:08.240 can't afford they panic over minor problems they second guess everything they start wondering if

00:48:12.800 a differentiated paint in the kitchen is somehow a good sign from god or whatever having the right

00:48:17.960 real estate agent matters so much they can help you avoid costly mistakes they can uh they know

00:48:23.660 how to keep people calm when everybody starts spiraling out of control realestateagentsitrust.com

00:48:29.640 that's what this is all about. We'll connect you to the experienced vetted agents who actually

00:48:34.560 know what they're doing. We're not just randomly picking somebody at a hat. These people have been

00:48:38.860 vetted for a long time. We watch them closely. Realestateagentsitrust.com. Realestateagentsitrust.com.

00:48:45.560 Get the right real estate agent to represent you. Nick, how are you?

00:48:50.840 i can't i can't hear him uh sarah um oh i'm doing great i'm happy to be back in america

00:49:02.000 good yeah good good to have you back in america why did you go to uh cuba what were you

00:49:09.560 planning on exposing and what are you now going to expose so i've had cuba on the back of my mind

00:49:16.260 for nearly a year now.

00:49:17.800 I've been tracking kind of this rise of communism

00:49:19.840 and socialism here in the United States.

00:49:22.380 And I see that Trump and Rubio are talking more aggressively

00:49:25.560 about taking over Cuba.

00:49:26.980 So I figured I probably only have a few weeks left to go

00:49:29.440 to make this video until they do take it over.

00:49:32.780 And so I decided last week that last week was the date

00:49:35.760 that I was going to go do it.

00:49:37.300 And I was shocked by what I saw inside of Cuba.

00:49:42.700 Somebody described Cuba to me just the other day

00:49:45.140 as from a distance it looks beautiful and quaint and then when you get right up to it 0.93

00:49:50.660 it is rot and decay and suffering is that what you found 100 i mean if you just look at that

00:49:58.680 buildings like the architecture of these buildings like they're beautiful buildings

00:50:01.640 but they have not been kept up for nearly 60 years like the buildings are actually like

00:50:07.260 crumbling the streets are obviously not in good condition as well and then people are starving

00:50:14.680 seven out of 10 people are not going without three meals a day uh there's no kids aren't going to

00:50:20.860 school because there's no power uh the university is actually shut down because there is there they

00:50:25.820 they can't go to school when there's no power there's no electricity so kids aren't even

00:50:30.020 learning college students aren't even learning they would say that that's our fault because

00:50:34.980 we've put the embargo on them so that's our fault that people aren't going to school and they're not

00:50:40.260 having the electricity and they're living in the dark how would you respond to that

00:50:43.380 yeah well i think cuba's had 60 years to figure something out and for 60 years they've been

00:50:49.760 underneath this communist regime and they haven't figured it out i wonder how long it would take

00:50:53.700 for me or you to figure something out if we've been facing the same problem for 60 years 0.61

00:50:58.080 and they're literally 90 miles away from the united states and they've decided to be our

00:51:02.380 enemy for so long and now the united states is even offering support it looks like and it

00:51:07.360 seems like they rejected that support so i don't know if you know who i'm sure you do hasan piker

00:51:14.520 is um but he responded to you and says i obviously don't believe this even a little bit this is your

00:51:20.840 last post you know that went to cuba to document the humanitarian crisis blah blah blah i don't 0.99

00:51:26.360 even buy this a little bit but it is ominous that this medically stupid he called you a foul name 0.99

00:51:32.340 is going to Cuba to manufacture propaganda for what I assume will be additional U.S. intervention. 0.99

00:51:40.020 How do you respond to that?

00:51:41.780 Well, he's the same person who went to Cuba with Ilhan Omar's daughter

00:51:45.340 to promote how it was taking communism inside of Cuba.

00:51:50.520 So he actually went on a paid trip from an organization to go to Cuba.

00:51:56.060 Yet he saw what I saw with my own two eyes,

00:51:58.580 and he thought it's still a good idea to promote communism and socialism inside of a country

00:52:03.200 that is letting their children starve, letting the people go without internet.

00:52:08.440 They don't even have access to freedom of speech inside this country,

00:52:11.560 yet he still wants to promote that. 1.00

00:52:13.420 And so he's going to call me stupid. 0.99

00:52:15.720 Meanwhile, he's seeing what I'm seeing. 1.00

00:52:17.640 I'm seeing people suffer.

00:52:19.080 I'm seeing a civilization that is depressed, has no hope left in their eyes,

00:52:24.560 and yet he's still advocating for more of that.

00:52:29.580 So what is the video that you're releasing today?

00:52:32.620 What is on it?

00:52:33.420 What are we going to see?

00:52:35.440 Yeah, so you're going to see how people really don't have freedom of speech inside of this country

00:52:41.420 and how the buildings are eroding, how these children aren't going to school,

00:52:47.960 how there's no hope in the eyes of these people. 0.96

00:52:50.100 That's one thing that shocked me the most is I've spent a lot of time with Latinos. 0.99

00:52:54.140 I lived amongst them for two years.

00:52:56.700 And even in poor circumstances, these people are some of the most happy people I've ever spent time with.

00:53:03.140 These people in Cuba.

00:53:04.500 When you say you spent time in their community, you were in Chile for two years.

00:53:08.420 Yeah.

00:53:08.640 You lived in Chile on a mission.

00:53:10.160 Yeah, okay.

00:53:11.440 And so I've spent a lot of time with Latinos and inside South and Central America as well. 0.99

00:53:18.640 and these people are just there's no hope left in their eyes which is something you don't see

00:53:23.880 even in poor circumstances in chile for instance people may not have that much money they might

00:53:29.120 not have all the food they would like but they're still happy and that's something i didn't see in

00:53:33.740 cuba which was different they um did they know you were an american did you see any did you get

00:53:42.640 any comments at all from people saying hey please trump back off us or please help us

00:53:49.720 you know a lot of them i would ask him about that and a lot of them are ready for change 0.67

00:53:55.220 there was only one lady who who was supporting the regime actually and she was one of the ladies 0.90

00:54:00.880 at the university who was trying to cover up for the mess of the university and all the young

00:54:05.840 people i spoke to they're all ready for a change a lot of them even said like communists is the

00:54:10.280 worst thing that can possibly happen when you when you went you know you said you know you got there

00:54:18.940 and you know they started following you you're not necessarily unrecognizable you know if you're

00:54:26.340 coming into a country especially a communist country they're going to run your name and they

00:54:30.680 would find out who you are why were you surprised that they would be following you because it's

00:54:37.220 pretty clear i mean if if i were a communist and i see you in my neighborhood i'm like he's not here

00:54:43.500 to help me maybe i was surprised because i had filled out all the required paperwork it said

00:54:50.360 my visa said journalistic activities yet they seized all that other people had gone and made

00:54:55.520 videos on cuba i guess i didn't realize that all those people had gone with a guide uh with from

00:55:01.800 the from the government so i was kind of going rogue and the government obviously didn't like

00:55:06.600 that. And for that same reason, there's a two-star general waiting at the bottom of my hotel room

00:55:11.240 for me in the lobby when I tried to leave early because we were being telled 24-7.

00:55:18.680 I was going to go when Hugo Chavez was alive. They asked me to come and speak,

00:55:22.980 a bunch of pastors from all over the world. And I was in Africa at the time and I was flying

00:55:28.080 back and we landed in, I don't know, somewhere in the Caribbean. And we got off and I was going

00:55:35.700 aboard a plane to go over to speak to the pastors in Venezuela. And Hugo Chavez had said that he was

00:55:42.920 ringing the church where this meeting was supposed to take place with soldiers, and he would arrest

00:55:48.880 me and everyone, all of the pastors in the building, if it was going to happen. And so I was

00:55:55.880 asked, please don't come. We'll be able to get away with it, maybe, without you. But once you

00:56:03.160 come, you're a lightning rod. And it was very eye-opening to me to see the difference between

00:56:09.660 what a communist country, you know, everybody's marching, no kings, no kings. That's what it

00:56:14.380 means to have a king. You can't say anything when you're in a country with a real king or a

00:56:20.820 dictator. It's not like it is here in America. Yeah, that's what another takeaway from this

00:56:27.240 trip was, okay, so right now we have this huge movement inside of our country for ideas like

00:56:31.940 socialism for communism and these people are protesting every week underneath the communist

00:56:37.080 regime they would not be able to protest so they're wanting something that would actually

00:56:42.300 suppress them and stop them from doing exactly what they are doing here inside the united states

00:56:46.440 yet when their influencers go and show that they still will advocate for more of that

00:56:52.660 which just shows that there is either they're getting paid heavily to promote this communist

00:56:58.860 idea that would be great here inside the United States or quite literally they

00:57:03.780 are brainwashed to the point where they have somehow believed that capitalism

00:57:07.500 have spelled them so bad that they want to accept a government that would make

00:57:11.680 them so suppressed that they would not even be able to voice their opinions out

00:57:14.880 in public. That's what really shocked me is that it's real when you hear that

00:57:21.340 underneath communism there is no freedom of speech. We've heard stories from North 0.98

00:57:25.260 korea we've heard people who've escaped north korea it's very few people that we've heard who's

00:57:30.180 left cuba and have shared their story in a way where it's resonated so much with people that

00:57:35.580 wow it's very similar to a country like north korea in reality

00:57:40.340 so there was a story this week in texas about another leering center literally there was a

00:57:49.460 story about this muslim only water park event that was canceled people start looking into it 0.54

00:57:55.220 i think it's i think it's sarah gonzalez that looked into it right from blaze she's just tearing

00:57:59.320 it up she's just she's doing great work she's brave yeah she is she's very brave but um she

00:58:05.500 found the organizer of this uh event and uh and they run a leering center same sign same

00:58:15.400 misspelling everything else uh she's running a leering you'd think they'd learn i mean maybe

00:58:22.620 how many leering centers are there in the country do you think there's a lot there's a lot of lyric

00:58:29.540 centers a lot of people just don't know how to leer and they want to keep making money

00:58:34.500 uh nick i worry about you honestly i have i have in my career seen young people come and get

01:01:55.360 so much here's a clip of episode five the door swings open revealing a panting messenger his

01:02:02.380 breath visible in the cold draft that's now rushing in his face etched with urgency he

01:02:08.200 blurts something out about king street shots fired and blood spilled without hesitation the

01:02:13.420 men pour out into the biting winter darkness snow crunches under their boots as they race

01:02:18.720 through the narrow moonlit alleys the ominous clanging bells drawing more people from their

01:02:24.300 homes. The wind whips at their coats, carrying distant shouts that now grow louder and louder,

01:02:29.900 more chaotic with each step. They turn a corner and collide with pandemonium, a hysterical mob

01:02:36.360 surging like an ocean wave. Bodies pressed together in a frenzy of rage and confusion.

01:02:42.160 Cries of murder pierce the frigid air. Samuel and his companions push forward, elbows and shoulders

01:02:48.740 forcing a path through the throng, hearts pounding with a mix of dread and determination.

01:02:53.020 Finally, they break through the front where the horror unfolds before them.

01:02:58.640 Three bodies lied sprawl in the pristine white snow, limbs twisted unnaturally, crimson

01:03:05.700 blood pooling outward in a stark spreading stain.

01:03:10.620 The crowd wails and thrust their accusing fingers at a line of red-coated British soldiers

01:03:16.080 standing frozen, their faces pale.

01:03:19.380 Sam Adams stands there, the scene searing his soul.

01:03:23.580 This isn't a mere brawl or accident.

01:03:25.840 This is the ignition point.

01:03:28.160 The moment when simmering tensions explode into something irreversible.

01:03:33.900 This is Boston, 1770.

01:03:37.960 The epicenter of the American Revolution.

01:03:41.300 And it would not have happened without the driving perseverance of one unlikely patriot leader.

01:03:48.660 samuel adams

01:03:50.620 bro i mean i think you can hear i when i listen to this i hear the sound of money being spent

01:04:01.680 um that's all that's all original music there are like 400 tracks of sound effects and everything

01:04:08.920 on each of these episodes it takes us um a couple of weeks to produce just one episode

01:04:14.880 but it is the best telling of the American story.

01:04:19.180 I just recorded the death of Abraham Lincoln.

01:04:22.080 That's in season two,

01:04:24.400 which will be coming out shortly.

01:04:26.520 I just recorded that yesterday.

01:04:28.180 I mean,

01:04:28.380 it's brilliant stuff.

01:04:29.560 It's really,

01:04:29.940 and I can say that because I don't produce it.

01:04:32.600 I just pay for it.

01:06:06.400 I really do. I have the best staff and best producers, I think, ever in broadcast radio.

01:06:13.140 Keep going. Keep going.

01:06:14.420 Except for Ricky. More here in just a second.

01:06:18.500 We have a couple of amazing American stories to share with you next about assassinations and coming back together.

01:06:28.720 Don't want to miss it. Stand by.

01:06:36.400 So some sometimes, you know, people think that big cultural changes happen all at once, like a society wakes up one morning completely different than it was the day before.

01:06:44.920 But we know now that's not how it works.

01:06:47.060 Most of the time, if you really want to change a culture, you have to be willing to step in with something better and you have to be patient.

01:06:53.240 Well, that's what preborn is doing.

01:06:54.940 They're actually helping women and they're providing ultrasounds, support, care, resources, compassion to expecting moms who need real help.

01:07:03.080 Right now, when people are given support, instead of panic, instead of shouting down or people saying, you don't have a choice, you've got to kill the baby, whatever, when they just see the truth instead of pressure, when they're treated like human beings with compassion instead of problems to be solved, they make better decisions.

01:07:23.500 And pre-born starts with ultrasounds.

01:07:25.540 $28 provides one ultrasound that's less than a dollar a day, and it could save your life.

01:07:30.140 if you're a business owner you might consider a larger donation to claim a write-off donation of

01:07:35.520 fifteen thousand dollars will sponsor an ultrasound machine for a needy clinic helping save countless

01:07:39.920 babies lives for years to come all gifts are tax deductible and will reach through the eternities

01:07:45.200 pound 250 say the keyword baby pound 250 keyword baby thomas jefferson once called samuel adams the

01:07:52.340 earliest most active and persevering man of the revolution learn all about him and go back in

01:07:57.260 time at glenbeck.com slash torch with the American story.

01:08:17.540 I want to reintroduce you to a friend of the program, Dave Isay. He's founder and president

01:08:24.080 of story core new york times best-selling author the recipient of numerous peabody awards and the

01:08:29.260 macarthur genius fellow also i think just reading that just a little bit of a show-off a little bit

01:08:35.660 of a show-off an overachiever you know i say uh dave i say is with us uh from story core hi dave

01:08:42.060 how are you glad it's great to hear your voice i'm doing great how are you good i'm really good

01:08:47.680 i'm really good um i wanted to have you on the show i'm so glad you brought these you brought

01:08:51.660 these clips um you have a couple of clips uh and i want to start with the assassination thing

01:08:56.960 because it's what we've what we've what we're trying to avoid but seemingly getting closer

01:09:03.100 and closer god forbid um uh and you you talk to somebody through story core that was there with

01:09:11.560 bobby kennedy right yeah so um it's hard to believe that it was only two weeks ago that

01:09:18.460 the assassination attempt on President Trump at the Hilton happened, it feels like, years ago.

01:09:24.600 But someone, a guy named Juan Romero came to StoryCorps. And he was, there's a famous photograph

01:09:30.180 taken of Bobby Kennedy right after he was shot. And that was on June 8th, 1968 at a different hotel.

01:09:39.040 And it's the busboy at this hotel. And his name was Juan Romero. And he came to StoryCorps

01:09:47.520 with a loved one to remember how he met Senator.

01:09:50.060 It starts with him talking about how he met Senator Kennedy

01:09:53.140 the night before he was killed, delivering him room service.

01:09:55.980 So let's listen to the clip.

01:09:58.500 They opened the door, and the senator was talking on the phone.

01:10:02.860 He put on the phone and says, come on in, boys.

01:10:06.580 You could tell when he was looking at you

01:10:08.780 that he's not looking through you.

01:10:10.340 He's taking you into account.

01:10:12.900 And I remember walking out of there like I was 10 feet tall.

01:10:17.520 The next day, he had his victory beat.

01:10:20.460 So they came down the service elevator, which is behind the kitchen.

01:10:24.980 I remember extending my hand as far as I could,

01:10:27.900 and then I remember him shaking my hand, and as he let go, somebody shot him.

01:10:35.940 I kneeled onto him and put my hand between the cold concrete and his head

01:10:41.480 just to make him comfortable.

01:10:43.780 I could see his lips moving, so I put my ear next to his lips,

01:10:48.280 and I heard him say, is everybody okay?

01:10:51.640 I said, yes, everybody's okay.

01:10:54.260 I could feel a steady stream of blood coming through my fingers.

01:10:58.980 I had a rosary in my shirt pocket, and I took it out,

01:11:02.760 thinking that he would need it a lot more than me.

01:11:06.340 I wrapped it around his right hand, and then they wheeled him away. 0.99

01:11:09.960 the next day i decided to go to school i didn't want to think about it but this woman was reading 0.57

01:11:18.420 the newspaper and you can see my picture in there with the senator on the floor she turned around

01:11:24.760 and showed me the picture says this is you isn't it and uh i remember looking at my hands and

01:11:32.080 And there was dry blood in between my nails.

01:11:36.480 Then I received bags of ladders addressed to the busboy.

01:11:41.860 There was a couple of angry ladders.

01:11:43.840 One of them even went as far as to say that if he hadn't stopped to shake your hand,

01:11:48.900 the senator would have been alive.

01:11:50.780 So I should be ashamed of myself for being so selfish.

01:11:54.400 it's been a long 50 years and i still get emotional tears come out but i went to visit

01:12:04.980 his grave in 2010 i felt like i needed to ask kennedy to forgive me for not being able to

01:12:13.060 stop those bullets from harming him and i felt like you know it would be a sign of respect to

01:12:21.040 buy a suit. I never owned a suit in my life. And so when I wore the suit and I stood in front of

01:12:29.880 his grave, I felt a little bit like the first day that I met him. I felt important. I felt American

01:12:41.480 and i felt good oh my gosh what a beautiful story what a beautiful story i mean

01:12:54.680 just the the respect here i i bought a suit to go to his grave 50 years later i feel i felt american

01:13:06.720 And, boy, what has happened to us, Dave?

01:13:11.200 What's happened to us?

01:13:13.160 Yeah, and, you know, just you study history and, you know, the importance of history through the eyes of everyday people.

01:13:22.880 You know, nobody knew what Bobby Kennedy's last words were until we heard from Juan Romero.

01:13:29.200 And I should say that he died a couple of weeks after he recorded that.

01:13:33.560 So the importance of capturing this history when we still can.

01:13:36.220 and you're right what what what's happened to us what's happened to us you know bobby kennedy

01:13:40.880 looks around he's been shot and he says is everybody okay there we know that

01:13:45.780 and the fact that you know in the 1960s jfk was shot and it united everybody then um you know

01:13:58.380 then um malcolm x and then robert kennedy and by the time you get to altamont the country is

01:14:06.800 just done with all of this violence do we get there again dave well i you know i i believe i

01:14:15.880 believe we we will you know i you know you you you always you've said so many times on your show you

01:14:22.540 know blessed are the peacemakers you talk about dietrich bonhoeffer you know i there there's uh

01:14:28.360 a rabbi who i know who said if there could be as if there could be so much evil as the world as we

01:14:33.840 saw during the holocaust think about how much good there is but we just we have to tap into that good

01:14:38.820 so there's a story that came out yesterday um says more than a third study done more than a

01:14:47.660 third americans report they have lost a relationship with friends family romantic partners and

01:14:51.720 co-workers 37 percent of americans reported having experienced a political breakup of some

01:14:56.760 point in their lives of those 62 percent had a falling out with a friend 40 percent with a family

01:15:00.840 member 29 percent with a co-worker and 10 percent with a romantic partner um i could go into the

01:15:07.380 you know the demographics but it's not important we're all going through this we've all felt this

01:15:12.600 i don't care what side of the aisle you're on we have all gone through this and um you know i

01:15:19.180 wanted you to bring on another clip that you found and it is so great explain this is i'm

01:15:27.320 assuming this is from one small step is it not yes yeah yeah and we've been talking about what

01:15:32.060 that is we've been talking about this for 10 years uh glenn and we just you know as you know

01:15:39.180 with messaging you just have to keep saying it over and over and over again until it actually

01:15:43.220 works one small step is you know the glenn beck show plays a huge role in this effort glenn beck

01:15:49.440 listeners are the largest conservative participants in one small step and the idea of one small step

01:15:54.920 is to remind people that it's hard to eat up close you know we we have this platform where um you sign

01:16:01.140 up and you come on and you're paired with someone who's different than you politically um and you

01:16:06.600 have a conversation for 40 minutes about your lives and uh you know you're both you're both

01:16:13.680 go ahead um you both go into this knowing that it's you're not looking for an argument you're

01:16:18.400 not looking to win nope correct right yeah right it's it's um you're just getting to know each

01:16:24.400 other as human beings because you need that kind of bedrock in order to be able to have the

01:16:28.240 arguments without wanting to kill each other it's about remembering our humanity um and uh you know

01:16:34.760 And the dream is that we convince the country that it's our patriotic duty to see the humanity and people with whom we disagree.

01:16:40.740 Again, this is a message.

01:16:42.340 If you read between the lines, Glenn, of your show, every day you say it five times.

01:16:47.880 And this particular clip is – and you're not going to be able to tell who's liberal and who's conservative.

01:16:53.640 But these are two strangers coming together to have a one small step conversation.

01:16:57.960 Likely the guy is a Glenn Beck listener because that's how one small step goes.

01:17:02.960 It's Tiffany, who's liberal, and Israel, who's conservative.

01:17:06.460 They're both from Colorado.

01:17:08.080 And this is the two of them having a conversation, just an excerpt of their 15-minute conversation.

01:17:14.600 I'm a single father.

01:17:16.340 I have two children.

01:17:17.660 I actually grew up in Griffin-Spaulding County.

01:17:21.060 If you're born in that county, you have like a 16% chance of getting out of poverty.

01:17:26.180 So I'm like the 16%.

01:17:28.120 And I tell that to my children. 0.95

01:17:31.560 There's no excuses.

01:17:32.400 It comes from within.

01:17:34.160 And something that I also convey to my children.

01:17:36.480 My parents grew up with nothing. 0.96

01:17:38.460 My mom didn't have shoes, didn't have food, that kind of thing. 0.98

01:17:41.760 And, you know, she's the one kid that put herself through college as a single parent. 0.96

01:17:45.980 Yeah.

01:17:46.460 When you think about the future, what are you most scared of?

01:17:51.860 I am just really nervous for my kids, right?

01:17:54.580 Like I feel like right now everything is just mean and nasty.

01:17:58.180 Instead of reacting with kindness or compassion, people are quick to react with, I guess, hate or anger.

01:18:07.060 And not just like me and you're doing it, sitting here talking and trying to understand perspectives.

01:18:11.880 Is there one thing that you respect about the way that I see the world?

01:18:17.060 No.

01:18:19.020 Fair enough.

01:18:20.900 I think you said that you want the best for this country.

01:18:26.060 I respect that view, and I agree with that view.

01:18:29.960 Okay.

01:18:31.280 Is there anything that you respect that I said today?

01:18:34.300 That you're a hardworking single father that wants what's best for his children,

01:18:39.320 and I think that that's commendable and common between you and I for sure.

01:18:45.660 Thank you.

01:18:48.900 Dave, you know, I said, I think it was yesterday,

01:18:54.500 one of the things i learned when i was when i went over to to poland and i was

01:19:00.060 at auschwitz and i was really i spent about a year really studying the holocaust and how we

01:19:05.520 got there and everything else and the one thing that surprised me that um really taught me an

01:19:11.340 awful lot was the the number one thing said by people who saved jews and it was usually just

01:19:17.400 one jew or one family um it was the same and they said no no no but this is my jew he's not like all

01:19:26.620 the other jews and it it was because that they were so isolated the community was so isolated 0.90

01:19:32.780 the two of them that if you knew somebody who was jewish you were like well that doesn't fit 0.78

01:19:38.040 the stereotype but you knew them and so people would just discount and say well that's this one

01:19:43.880 and this one's not like the rest they never ever put it together that no maybe you're wrong about

01:19:49.120 maybe maybe they're all kind of like individuals um you know um and and that's why what you're

01:19:55.360 doing is so important that we see people so i mean those two would walk away if god forbid things

01:20:02.260 ever got to you know world war ii kind of stuff they would walk away going well yeah but he's my

01:20:07.400 liberal or my conservative that can't happen we need to see that it's not just a single individual

01:20:14.560 you know but if we start with single individuals we're great yeah i mean look a single individual

01:20:21.720 is better than nobody which is kind of where we're going yeah but um yeah we yeah we have to

01:20:27.520 you know mother theresa said we've forgotten that we belong to one another and you know i think

01:20:33.020 part of what you try to do every day on your show is to remind people that indeed you know we do we

01:20:37.920 do belong to one another and i i like to think people are fed up they should be because this is

01:20:42.760 you know we we as you heard in that clip they both you know we all love our country and you know

01:20:49.220 think about think about what we could do instead of throwing rocks at each other if we took those

01:20:53.360 rocks and and built together um it would be you know you talked yesterday about you know the god

01:20:59.960 winks and the, and the wrinkles in time, you know, and, and, you know, maybe this is a little

01:21:05.420 bit of a message from the future telling us, wake, wake up. We need to wake up. If it, you know,

01:21:12.180 this is the 250th anniversary of the country. And, you know, we'd love to see as many people

01:22:46.400 takeonesmallstep.org. You know, it's actually pretty amazing how many companies today seem to

01:22:54.200 have forgotten that their job is supposed to be providing a service that people pay for and not

01:22:58.480 doing bad things, you know, with the money that they make. Somewhere along the way, a lot of

01:23:03.600 corporations decided they weren't going to sell you just a product anymore. They were also going

01:23:06.820 to lecture you, fund activist causes, take political positions, and use the money to push

01:23:11.840 an agenda that maybe you don't agree with. And they don't necessarily come out and tell you that

01:23:15.240 agenda you know you want to do that fine do that just be open about it it's one of the reasons why

01:23:20.600 patriot mobile has resonated with so many people they provide the dependable nationwide coverage

01:23:25.140 using all three major networks but they also believe that the company should respect the

01:23:29.460 values of its customers and be open about what they stand for they are very open this is the

01:23:34.840 only christian conservative mobile phone company i think in the world definitely in the country

01:29:01.240 um and i didn't write down the verse but i was reading about how leadership can just go wrong

01:29:09.340 um because they become convinced that they did it and you know they they stop serving people

01:31:20.740 to know the book before i talk to you because i just i just love your books um so tell me why i

01:31:26.380 mean you are known for you know some of the best characters you know in fiction today you know james

01:31:33.440 reese is just a iconic character now why start a new series and all new characters what what are

01:31:41.020 you accomplishing here what what what's driving this well from the fan perspective i was very

01:31:46.680 aware as a kid that uh tom clancy started with hunt for red october moved on to red storm rising

01:31:51.360 then went to patriot games then cardinal of the kremlin then clear and present danger and then

01:31:55.160 the early 90s he branches out into both non-fiction with a study and command series and a guided tour

01:32:00.760 series and then he also starts with a co-written thriller series to expand that audience to broaden

01:32:06.700 that base more offerings out rather than and for him it was every couple years a book now is for

01:32:11.360 me it's every year but still the same type of uh type of model so i saw that and of course he's

01:32:17.020 doing video games and he has the movies and of course now after he's passed on there's the

01:32:21.100 television show for him but uh as a kid reading all those books from the fan perspective i saw

01:32:26.720 that expansion and so i knew i had a ton of stories to tell this was one that i wrote down

01:32:31.380 in december of 2014 when i wrote a bunch of different ideas down as i was getting ready to

01:32:35.280 leave the military. Decided on the terminal list, which I think was a good decision. But I kept

01:32:39.680 coming back to this one called The Fourth Office. And it's really based on Have Gun, Will Travel,

01:32:44.660 which is old. Well, first it was a radio show in the 1950s. Then it became a TV in the late 50s

01:32:49.980 into the 60s. And I used to watch those with my dad growing up. So really, that's the foundation

01:32:54.400 for this. But instead of a hero in the Old West getting on his horse and riding into a new town

01:32:59.660 as that stranger comes to town type of a narrative, now I have Chris Walker, former SEAL, former CIA

01:33:04.760 operative, a student of philosophy. These philosophers are battling for control of his

01:33:09.700 soul, but he gets in his Volkswagen bus, pop-top camper from the mid-80s with his Belgian Malinois

01:33:14.600 dog next to him. And for his first city, he rides into New Orleans. And that's a place that

01:33:20.100 has always stood out to me, a place I always wanted to set a novel because it's just such

01:33:23.960 a colorful city, a lot to work with in terms of corruption with the police force, with the

01:33:30.240 government officials that sort of thing so it's very ripe as far as a background for a novel like

01:33:35.600 this so uh this is another offering outside the james reese terminalist universe and i'm just i'm

01:33:40.740 fired up with how it how it came out and for those who are fans of let's say a pale rider or a shane

01:33:45.020 or a high plains drifter or a magnificent seven there'll be little drops of that in there too but

01:33:49.300 it's my modern interpretation stranger comes to town narrative so tell me because uh walker if

01:33:57.300 i'm not mistaken is haunted by a loss of a friend in afghanistan and you wrote this down you said in

01:34:03.800 2014 did did you how did the how did the withdraw from afghanistan play into this or did it that

01:34:14.640 shameful ending of afghanistan right right so james reese terminalist series those books started

01:34:20.460 well before our departure from afghanistan so that's not part of james reese's experience

01:34:25.220 Chris Walker, a little younger. He's there. He's a former SEAL, but now he's in the CIA and he's in Afghanistan as we're starting to withdraw. And the CIA wants to leave an asset behind that they've recruited to report on what happens after we're gone. And Chris Walker and his buddy, John Staub, they know that this guy is going to get killed. His family is going to get killed. He's too associated with the Americans. So they go off the books and try to get him across the border into Pakistan so he can get to Islamabad and claim asylum.

01:34:53.780 And of course, that goes horribly wrong. And this isn't too much of a spoiler. But Chris Walker's best friend is is killed in that in that attempt to get their asset across the border here. But watching that and you don't have to be a veteran of Iraq or Afghanistan to be horrified with the way that we left Afghanistan in August of 2021.

01:35:11.360 one. And neither do you have to have any sort of touch points with the military or degrees in

01:35:18.060 military history. You don't need to have studied tactics or strategy to know that there was a

01:35:22.620 better way to go about. All you have to do is apply common sense and apply logic to that problem

01:35:28.240 set. And anyone could have done it so much better if they had just done that. So it was very painful

01:35:33.500 to watch, not just for veterans, but for any, for just citizens to see our country.

01:35:39.100 It was our best effort after 20 years. I come on. So but that what that also did and how it ties into Iran now is that it taught our enemies a lesson and it taught them that Americans, one, are tired of of war and to the Americans do not know how to effectively get their military to get a desired political end.

01:35:58.140 So that's the lesson they walked away from, our withdrawal from Afghanistan with direct line between Russia invading Ukraine.

01:36:05.000 And of course, now China is watching what we're doing in Iran.

01:36:08.760 So really, now that we're engaged there, we have no choice but to win that thing because it's not regional.

01:36:13.340 It's not just energy prices. This is global in nature.

01:36:16.180 Meaning after World War Two, we had we could deter we could deter our enemies because of our strength following World War Two.

01:36:22.120 We ushered in an unparalleled era of economic stabilization, but prosperity across the globe.

01:36:33.460 We took that burden on taxpayers, our military took that, especially the Navy took that on in terms of providing security across the globe.

01:36:40.960 Then we lost that deterrence, especially with what happened in August of 2021.

01:36:45.260 We lost that deterrence, that hard-earned deterrence that really provided stability across the entire globe.

01:36:51.240 So the stakes are much more than regional.

01:36:55.020 So how, how does the world perceive us?

01:36:57.820 Cause I look at, I look at people who are enemies now and I got to believe they're just

01:37:02.380 like, they're just thinking, hold on, just hold on until 2028 because he's going to be

01:37:08.100 out and the American people are tired of all of this and they're just, they're going to

01:37:12.100 go back.

01:37:12.620 And so all of our enemies, you know, they're kind of, they're kind of just holding out

01:37:18.240 And if it does go back the other way, we'll see all of this stuff roar back.

01:37:23.540 But I'm trying to square this here with, I thought for sure, I know we were a laughing stock.

01:37:30.960 Our military had become an absolute laughing stock, and we just gutted all of our credibility with a big stick.

01:37:38.640 Then Donald Trump comes in, and boy, I've never seen a bigger stick, and I've never seen an operation like our military.

01:37:46.080 i've never seen it this effective you know and and the question is still out on iran

01:37:52.740 but still it's been pretty effective um how do they perceive our military is this just all based

01:38:00.260 on trump and don't worry it'll go back to being you know a joke how do they perceive us well i

01:38:07.240 think that that jury's out right now so after venezuela of course it's that they can say oh

01:38:11.820 wow, look, the same types of, let's say, early warning systems that we have are the same ones

01:38:16.960 that did nothing to stop the Americans going into Venezuela in January. Okay, we need to reevaluate

01:38:22.720 our defense systems here because we have the exact same ones made by Russia, made by China,

01:38:26.740 perhaps. But that was a message right there. And if we had stopped right there, I think we were on

01:38:33.640 some pretty secure footing when it comes to what our capabilities are as a military. And then we

01:38:38.520 try a similar thing with Iran, and it hasn't quite worked out, I don't think, the way that

01:38:44.700 the administration anticipated based off our performance in Venezuela. It's a different

01:38:50.400 part of the world. It is a puzzle. And when it comes to negotiations, when we think about that,

01:38:57.160 we make this mistake in the United States if you're sitting across the table from another

01:39:00.280 American doing that mirror image and thinking that that person across the table from you in

01:39:04.420 this negotiation has the same values as you do, has the same concerns as you do.

01:39:09.520 And you amplify that by 10, 20, 100 times when you sit across the table from someone

01:39:15.120 with a tradition of having grown up in Iran.

01:39:18.260 That is a very different person or people to be negotiating with.

01:39:22.800 And you cannot, certainly can't, if your kid doesn't work in the United States, American 0.99

01:39:25.800 citizen, it's certainly not going to work across the table from somebody from Iran. 0.99

01:39:29.900 So we tend to do that. 0.77

01:39:30.840 We tend to make that mistake of mirror imaging what's important to us and putting that on the other person that we're talking to.

01:39:36.920 So maybe we have gotten down to a level of leadership that is more receptive to negotiation, but I'm not sure.

01:39:51.040 Yeah, I'm not sure either.

01:39:53.080 So how does this end, Jack?

01:39:56.700 i mean as a fiction writer i'm just asking you write the write the most logical ending

01:40:02.540 for me on this well thanks for not putting me on the spot um but uh how is that i mean just

01:40:11.000 this fiction i know i'm not asking you for prediction i'm asking you because this is what

01:40:14.480 you do for a living you look at things and say okay if i had to do this you know what what would

01:40:19.240 i say would be believable i'm not asking you to predict but what would what do you think is

01:40:23.120 believable that could happen? I was kidding. So, I mean, most conflicts need to get to that

01:40:28.680 negotiation table. Eventually, Russia will get there with Ukraine. It's just a matter of

01:40:33.220 how much time. So for us, I think we definitely underestimated the impacts. And we tend to do

01:40:40.380 this over and over again. I don't know why, because there's history here that we can go back to

01:40:44.240 to look at. And we look at, let's say, 1972, 1973. We look at the oil embargoes there.

01:40:49.740 The reverberations of that were not just during the embargo.

01:40:52.760 They went all the way through the rest of the 70s.

01:40:55.920 And I don't know why we don't go back and see that and anticipate that as being the outcome here with these global energy markets, very similar to the early 70s.

01:41:04.520 But now we're even more dependent on that area of the world.

01:41:08.080 So we tend not to do that.

01:41:09.720 So that's a very long way of me saying that there are so many factors here.

01:41:13.760 And eventually it'll get to the negotiation table.

01:41:16.260 eventually. It's just how much pressure that the United States can put on through violence

01:41:21.220 in order to get them there. And they're willing to sacrifice a lot. I think they're willing to

01:41:26.020 sacrifice their entire country, their countrymen there. We're almost giving them an opportunity

01:41:32.320 to make it up to their version of nirvana or heaven. And they're willing to sacrifice all

01:41:38.880 those people under them to get there. So it's a very different part of the world to negotiate

01:41:43.260 with so i would say it's going to take a lot of pressure a lot of violence to get them to where

01:41:48.620 we want them uh which is getting those those things that we were negotiating for before the

01:41:53.100 war so now there's that but now we have we've added to that destruction of a navy destruction

01:41:57.740 of ballistic missile capability drone capability destruction of an air force and the strait of

01:42:01.740 hermos which is very odd to me that that wasn't secured right out out of the gate um and you know

01:42:07.500 we'll go back and look when someone writes books about it five ten years from now about uh what

01:42:11.980 what that problem set entailed, what those discussions were and, uh, and why we didn't

01:42:15.520 secure that right out of the gate.

01:42:18.780 Check.

01:42:19.340 I, I've been getting two questions from the pres or two comments from the president and

01:42:24.260 the team around him.

01:42:25.460 Um, just recently, and I've heard it before, uh, and I heard it from a, uh, a dissident

01:42:33.420 that has connections on the streets in Iran.

01:42:36.200 And they said that there's training going on.

01:42:39.180 And the president just said, I think it was earlier this week that he knows that arms have been sent, but they ended up in the wrong hands over to the people, the people of the street in, um, in Iran.

01:42:53.840 What are the odds?

01:42:54.840 And I'm going to have to take a break.

01:42:56.020 And then when you come back, what are the odds that there's special forces on the ground now and we're training or somebody is training the people because we're if we're not going to put boots on the ground, the people have to do it.

01:43:09.980 So what do you how do you view that?

01:43:11.920 We'll come back more with Jack Carr.

01:43:13.780 His new book is is out.

01:43:39.180 You hope you really never need it, but you're glad it's there.

01:43:42.460 And then there's the second group who treats business insurance like it's, you know, some kind of ancient curse that requires filling out 17 forms, sitting through 12 phone calls, sacrificing a small goat to the gods of paperwork.

01:43:52.380 and you never get anywhere on that super sure is trying to move people to that uh out of that

01:44:34.580 in one place supersure.com slash beck back with jack carr in 10 seconds

01:44:48.860 jack carr odds that we have people on the ground that are training people it wouldn't it wouldn't

01:44:58.580 surprise me especially if we're in uh in border areas um more remote areas and i look at them not

01:45:03.760 as boots on the ground because that to me signifies that we're putting in large numbers of

01:45:07.900 troops specifically army marine corps on the ground i look at it more of uh let's say solomons

01:45:12.220 or trail runners on the ground we're talking about special operations or cia paramilitary

01:45:16.140 forces that are going into to train up certain elements maybe uh that have attachments even to

01:45:21.260 the uh the government and to uh to the military or perhaps it's an unconventional warfare type

01:45:26.380 of a situation where you're uh training up somebody else training up the counter-revolutionary

01:45:31.100 forces uh in this case because the revolutionary forces are the ones that are in charge and have

01:45:35.020 been since 1979. so i would suspect it wouldn't surprise me if we are doing something like that

01:45:41.020 and training them up with specific missions in mind um but we've been very effective also us as

01:45:46.860 and the israelis of going in and taking out uh senior level leadership and now working our way

01:45:52.140 down to lower level leadership but the problem with doing that is something we learned in iraq

01:45:55.900 and afghanistan is that if you do that then who do you negotiate with yeah and a lot of leadership

01:46:02.380 and so we called it cross-cut targeting uh in afghanistan and iraq and so that means you take

01:46:06.700 out the middle level so you can still negotiate with those people at the top and it still has much

01:46:11.980 of the same effect because you're cutting off those people who are issuing the orders from

01:46:15.660 those who are actually carrying out the attacks there's that whole middle operational level so

01:46:19.100 when you take that out you can still negotiate it's called cross-cut targeting but we don't

01:46:23.100 really employ that too much because it's hard to explain to the populace and uh the media can still

01:46:27.820 say oh so and so still in charge it's a failure uh well you take out that person who do you go to

01:46:32.620 and then you work your way down this chain and you have less and less and less information on

01:46:37.260 those people. So it's a tough one. Do I have you for a few more minutes? Can I drag you over?

01:46:46.400 Do you have until about 40 after? Let's do it. Jack, let me ask you about the name of the book

01:46:52.200 is The Fourth Option. What does that mean? Well, it really comes from the CIA because the CIA is

01:46:59.380 paramilitary forces. And at a touch point with them, it informs a lot of my writing. I was assigned

01:47:04.260 to them for a little bit in Iraq back in 2006. But really, it's when diplomacy and the military

01:47:08.880 fails, there's a third and final option. And that's the CIA's paramilitary side of the house,

01:47:12.960 the Special Activities Center, used to be Special Activities Division. And so in this case, though,

01:47:17.860 because this guy used to be there, now this is when law enforcement, when the legal system,

01:47:23.680 when the prison system fails, there's a fourth and final option, and that's Chris Walker. So

01:47:28.300 it's uh it's also informed by not just by those westerns that i talked about earlier but there's

01:47:32.700 maybe a little drop of the 18 or a little drop of maybe even air wolf um it's certainly a little

01:47:38.800 bit of the equalizer from the 80s for those who remember the equalizer oh my gosh i love the

01:47:43.420 equalizer oh that's uh that's a huge influence on this and then also lethal weapon the first uh

01:47:48.580 first lethal weapon so i have uh chris walker he's being hunted by an fbi agent who is a uh

01:47:53.660 a buy-the-book guy, constitutional scholar,

01:47:56.060 working his way up the chain at the FBI.

01:47:58.120 And these guys get closer and closer together

01:47:59.960 as they meet up to this penultimate chapter in the book.

01:48:04.320 And it's, yeah, it's a good one.

01:48:06.240 I'm fine.

01:48:06.620 That's great.

01:48:08.500 I'm really excited to read it.

01:48:09.620 It's called The Fourth Option.

01:48:10.800 It's available wherever you get your books.

01:48:12.160 It comes out officially on Tuesday,

01:48:14.740 but you can pre-order it.

01:48:15.820 Make sure you grab a fourth option.

01:48:17.660 I just want to spend a few more minutes

01:48:18.900 with Jack Carr here on the other side of the break.

01:48:21.820 Stand by.

01:48:23.660 i want to get into the cia with him and also what was dumped out today with the ufos if he has time

01:48:39.480 let me talk to you a little bit about uh legacy box you ever found an old photograph and just

01:48:44.240 stop for a second not because the picture itself is so amazing but because for half you know half

01:48:49.840 a moment it feels like somehow you stepped back into a different version of the world you just

01:48:54.200 remember things differently and you see people when we were really young people who are gone now

01:48:58.880 old houses old cars old christmas mornings and entire chapters of your life that exist only in

01:49:04.260 a box somewhere in a closet and those memories matter but you also know you know one flood in

01:49:11.740 the basement one house fire one bad storage bin uh and you've lost all of this stuff that's what

01:49:17.980 legacy box does it takes all of it and puts it into a vault a digital vault all your old tapes

01:49:24.580 and film reels and photos home videos so the memories that matter don't disappear and they're

01:49:29.880 passed on forever the old memories aren't really content they're time machines the sound of

01:49:35.220 somebody's voice you haven't heard in 20 years or when your kids were waking up on christmas morning

01:49:39.620 legacybox.com slash records save them all preserve them 60 off during their mother's day sale

01:55:06.540 I'm getting the VHS.

01:55:08.100 I'm getting even DVDs.

01:55:09.980 And then also the RCA video discs.

01:55:12.060 Remember those?

01:55:12.680 Late 70s into the early 80s.

01:55:14.000 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:55:15.200 Not a laser disc, but a video disc that played about 35 minutes.

01:55:19.000 Then you had to turn it in, turn it, put it back in.

01:55:21.280 Turn it over.

01:55:21.660 And it was so fun.

01:55:22.580 Yeah, exactly.

01:55:23.720 And it was so much fun.

01:55:24.560 And so those are my little ways of going, going time these days.

01:55:28.700 Jack, I want to let me bring Jason in because Jason just found an old X file episode and set this up for Jack.

01:55:39.360 So I want to I want to get your comment on this.

01:55:41.920 Well, I mean, I'm wondering if there is an author that actually wrote this.

01:55:45.500 What's happening in the news now, because we have both the Hantavirus and we have FEMA currently trending in the news.

01:55:52.620 And I don't know if, you know, there is a fiction writer out there setting all this up or if we're in a simulation, Jack.

01:56:01.620 But have you heard this from the X-Files? Listen.

01:56:05.340 Are you familiar with the antivirus, Agent Mulder?

01:56:08.980 Yeah, it was a deadly virus spread by field mice in the southwestern United States several years ago.

01:56:14.120 According to the newspaper, FEMA was called out to manage an outbreak of the antivirus.

01:56:18.160 are you familiar with what the federal emergency management agency's real power is okay come on

01:56:24.360 come on so great it's like we're watching a documentary you know it's fantastic i love

01:56:32.600 those shows back in the day the smoking man and they had these little touch points with all the

01:56:36.080 conspiracies smoking man he was called cancer man wasn't he oh i don't know i forget that but

01:56:42.540 And regardless, it was like points with real with with these conspiracies that you couldn't check on back then.

01:56:50.240 And the X-Files was still pre-internet and and at least the early ones were.

01:56:54.720 And now all those things are ending up not looking like conspiracies anymore.

01:56:58.800 It's just it's disturbing.

01:57:00.940 I want to go back and watch them all now so I can the future.

01:57:03.360 there was this rumor that the cia actually would slip in stories into pop culture or into tv shows

01:57:12.080 back in the day just to i guess prep the public or something or just put narratives out there

01:57:16.400 but yeah it's it's wild it doesn't surprise me there the uh the the other big story today is

01:57:25.820 the government is relief releasing these files for the ufos uh and i i don't know what to make

01:57:34.080 of this jack i just don't know what to make of this i mean you know some people are saying that

01:57:38.600 they're prepping us because they're going to say you know lizard people are among us or whatever

01:57:42.060 the hell and you know what and there are days when i will look at the news and i'm actually

01:57:46.340 praying for the lizard people because that would make more sense than what i see in the news 0.57

01:57:49.700 um but i don't know what do you think of all this ufo stuff is that a psyop are we just living in a

01:57:56.380 giant psyop i have no idea i saw the headlines across the tv i've been doing media all day uh

01:58:02.460 mostly about iran but i saw this ufo stuff popping up and they're not even called ufos anymore they

01:58:06.880 have to change it on us so that somebody can put that on a like fit wrap or a uh some sort of an

01:58:11.740 evaluation from ufo to whatever they're called now uh uaps wonderful yes uaps but uh i mean it

01:58:19.260 it's it's i don't i don't know what to make of it either i'm with you and i'd be shocked if we

01:58:23.300 were alone i mean just this is a gigantic universe so yeah right there's that right but also hey is

01:58:28.300 this just distraction uh from something else okay maybe uh that's possible maybe even probable but

01:58:35.540 uh i remember that movie they live it was uh in the 80s rowdy roddy piper and i was sure you were

01:58:40.760 not expecting oh yeah so good reference uh they put the sunglasses on and it's the chew bubble

01:58:46.660 gum line which i don't think i can even say on on this show but the shoe bubble gum line

01:58:50.400 fantastic from the 80s and uh and i think that maybe there's somebody there's it's probably not

01:58:56.600 meta because they're probably the lizard people but some other company might be able to invent

01:59:00.340 like uh and we're going to look around and we're going to we might not be surprised about who the

01:59:07.660 lizard people actually are that's uh i will make oh not going to be a shot yeah no i mean i think

01:59:13.080 i mean i would like to do a prediction market just on who a lizard person is you know if they

01:59:17.720 start saying we start i want a prediction market because i think i can make a lot of money on

01:59:21.980 predicting who the lizard people are i think i do well yeah jack it's always great to talk to you

01:59:28.100 thank you so much i'm uh i'm going over i'm going over to london next week i'm doing something uh

01:59:34.760 you know with the big uh freedom and uh anti-sharia law thing with tommy robinson uh if i

02:00:11.300 grab it the fourth option by jack car let me tell you about leaf filter you can learn a lot about a

02:00:17.060 person just by watching them clean out gutters you know some people approach it with confidence

02:00:21.000 they've got the ladder positioned perfectly they're wearing work gloves they're confident

02:00:24.640 and then there's people that look like they're diffusing a bomb you know they're moving slowly

02:05:01.680 left the set of star wars since the 70s he is always angry posting on blue sky which is the

02:05:09.360 lame version of x and he basically has proposed that he's super sad that president trump wasn't

02:05:18.180 assassinated this last attempt and if only despicable human being yes if only he should

02:05:23.480 live long enough to witness his inevitable devastating loss in the midterms be held
