00:02:55.660 i was 11 years old

00:02:59.900 it was the summer of 1975

00:03:03.720 i contend it was the summer that my dad and i won game six of the world series

00:03:11.100 and i remember it like it was yesterday

00:03:16.860 you know those kind of memories that you can

00:03:20.420 you can smell the memory you can you can smell the house you can smell the grass everything is

00:03:26.960 just so vivid

00:03:27.980 the way grass smells right after it's been cut in the summer

00:03:33.200 you can see the way the sun would shine and

00:03:38.200 it would come through the living room window and bounce off the hardwood floor every morning

00:03:43.740 you slept with your window open and you could feel the cool breeze in the morning

00:03:49.780 do you remember what it felt like every day running and playing just being a kid

00:03:57.840 summer time meant something

00:04:02.220 summer time

00:04:05.400 we don't crave the summer just for the sun

00:04:11.000 we crave it because

00:04:16.200 it was

00:04:18.900 it was the most important time in our life

00:04:21.720 i don't know if it's like this for kids anymore

00:04:25.120 but it was in the summer that you became

00:04:28.860 who you are

00:04:30.720 you became your own person

00:04:32.660 you developed

00:04:34.160 a life of your own

00:04:35.840 it's where you

00:04:38.340 found what you love

00:04:40.200 and later

00:04:42.940 who you love

00:04:44.360 when i was 11 years old

00:04:49.980 i found what i love

00:04:52.060 radio

00:04:54.620 radio in a bizarre way

00:04:58.420 and my love of baseball

00:05:02.700 through the radio

00:05:04.240 but it

00:05:06.100 it was all tangled up in

00:05:07.840 summer

00:05:08.420 and one summer

00:05:09.840 it just consumed me

00:05:11.640 my passion

00:05:15.000 every single day

00:05:17.420 that summer

00:05:18.680 nine o'clock

00:05:19.620 i would meet with

00:05:20.860 jim and freddie

00:05:22.000 and my best friend mike

00:05:23.000 along with

00:05:24.600 seven or eight other

00:05:26.000 interchangeable

00:05:27.020 stragglers

00:05:27.960 and we'd make about a two mile hike

00:05:30.340 into a run down field

00:05:32.280 it was right off of

00:05:33.600 main street

00:05:34.240 behind the hardware store

00:05:35.480 and none of us had a

00:05:37.160 two hundred dollar aluminum bat

00:05:38.840 or a case of brand new baseballs

00:05:41.680 and nobody was watching us

00:05:43.020 we had an old wooden bat

00:05:45.260 that had been given to freddie

00:05:46.280 by his older brother

00:05:47.160 he had cracked it at practice

00:05:49.080 so we

00:05:49.600 we took some tape

00:05:51.160 and we

00:05:51.520 we bound that bat up 0.91

00:05:53.840 held together by the tape

00:05:55.880 the grip was so worn

00:05:57.000 that you were sure to go home

00:05:58.160 with a splinter or two

00:05:59.080 every single day

00:05:59.940 the ball

00:06:02.040 we had found in the woods

00:06:03.900 i grew up

00:06:05.900 in the pacific northwest

00:06:07.300 so it was a little waterlogged

00:06:09.040 it had been there for a few months

00:06:10.160 so it was more of a shot put

00:06:11.460 than a baseball

00:06:12.220 but that didn't stop us

00:06:14.580 every day

00:06:16.260 all day

00:06:17.740 we'd be there

00:06:19.120 and we wouldn't stop

00:06:20.600 for anything

00:06:21.780 except for the trek

00:06:23.640 over to the store

00:06:25.340 on the corner

00:06:26.120 where we would get a coke

00:06:28.060 or some bazooka bubble gum

00:06:30.740 and we'd all pretend

00:06:33.300 we were in the major leagues

00:06:34.440 we'd stand there for hours

00:06:37.220 with a stick in your hand

00:06:38.500 swinging away

00:06:39.640 against imaginary pitchers

00:06:41.200 practice rounding the bases

00:06:43.560 winning the game

00:06:45.480 the last game

00:06:46.480 of the world series

00:06:47.660 those were remarkable

00:06:52.340 summer days

00:06:54.000 but then

00:06:58.960 the real excitement

00:07:01.840 came when i came home

00:07:04.060 because we'd rush through dinner

00:07:07.040 and we'd clean our rooms

00:07:08.560 so we could sit in front of the tv

00:07:10.220 and our mom would say

00:07:11.100 don't sit so close

00:07:11.980 you're going to get eye cancer

00:07:13.220 but we were able to watch

00:07:15.980 the first few innings

00:07:16.840 of the game

00:07:17.460 but only the first few innings

00:07:19.900 because mom and dad

00:07:21.620 were both sticklers

00:07:22.500 for bedtime

00:07:23.080 even during the summer

00:07:23.920 we're like

00:07:24.280 there's no homework

00:07:25.100 there's no school

00:07:26.120 we'd beg

00:07:26.940 we'd complain

00:07:27.600 we'd scream

00:07:28.240 we'd argue

00:07:28.840 we'd do

00:07:29.260 you know

00:07:29.840 i'm just down for a drink of water

00:07:31.140 i just need

00:07:31.620 we did all the tricks

00:07:32.720 never got me past the fourth inning

00:07:35.280 sometime in the fourth inning

00:07:38.780 my dad would drag me up to bed

00:07:41.200 and that would be the end

00:07:42.800 of my baseball adventure

00:07:44.260 for another day

00:07:45.240 or so he thought

00:07:47.980 it was early that summer

00:07:52.280 that i discovered

00:07:53.360 what i like to call

00:07:54.540 the vent

00:07:56.260 i think it's where i get my love

00:07:59.080 for radio

00:07:59.660 we had this old house

00:08:03.980 and there was this big old

00:08:06.000 black iron vent

00:08:07.640 the top of the stairs

00:08:08.960 and it served as a tunnel

00:08:11.860 straight to the ballpark

00:08:14.580 we'd get tucked in

00:08:17.960 i'd wait for mom to go to bed 0.85

00:08:19.860 and then i'd slowly open the door

00:08:22.580 and my head would peek out

00:08:24.540 and i would creep towards the hallway

00:08:26.980 i'd carefully place my feet

00:08:29.080 in a pattern

00:08:29.660 that i had diligently created

00:08:31.580 it took me a long time

00:08:32.900 to find out exactly

00:08:34.380 which boards creaked

00:08:35.900 and which ones didn't

00:08:37.180 then i would slowly get on my hands and knees

00:08:40.760 and i would place my face

00:08:43.060 my ear

00:08:43.760 to that cold vent

00:08:45.200 i can still feel the cold steel

00:08:48.560 up against my face

00:08:49.620 and the sound of the tv

00:08:50.980 i couldn't see any pictures

00:08:52.700 i had to make them in my mind

00:08:54.160 as that sound would make its way up the metal tube

00:08:58.960 and spill out into

00:09:00.140 a picture painted by words

00:09:02.400 a picture that was so vivid in my imagination

00:09:05.460 that i felt like i had front row seats right behind home plate

00:09:09.280 i had a hot dog in my hand

00:09:11.520 a soda

00:09:12.000 a box of cracker jacks

00:09:14.020 i could smell the grass

00:09:15.680 i remember listening to the world series that year

00:09:21.800 it was between the reds and the red socks

00:09:25.900 and while the broadcasters were artists with their words

00:09:30.560 it was a number that stuck out of my head most of all

00:09:34.680 and that number was 1918

00:09:36.440 1918

00:09:39.060 the red socks hadn't won the world series since 1918

00:09:42.500 but this year

00:09:43.940 they had to win

00:09:45.940 because i wanted them to

00:09:47.720 my dad wanted them to

00:09:49.060 i sat there in the hallway night after night

00:09:51.820 my knees i swore were bruising

00:09:54.780 my back would ache

00:09:57.960 just waiting for the moment that the red socks would do the impossible

00:10:03.160 and defeat the big red machine

00:10:05.180 five nights

00:10:09.440 of heart pounding suspense

00:10:11.980 red socks were down three games to two

00:10:16.640 by this time now the summer had ended

00:10:21.400 school had returned

00:10:23.140 my bedtime was strictly enforced

00:10:26.060 it was october 21st i remember the date

00:10:30.620 october 21st 1975

00:10:33.240 i remember everything

00:10:35.880 it was right after the second inning

00:10:39.740 that i had to go upstairs

00:10:42.240 kicking and screaming

00:10:43.420 i just need another drink of water

00:10:45.700 i can still remember my dad saying

00:10:47.740 don't worry i'll tell you about it in the morning

00:10:49.900 after i gave up

00:10:52.360 and as i was kind of stomping up the stairs

00:10:54.200 i remember thinking

00:10:55.300 you're not gonna have to tell me

00:10:56.380 i know i don't have to wait until tomorrow

00:10:57.860 because i have the vent

00:11:00.280 and as i hit the top of the stairs

00:11:04.560 i quickly washed up and climbed into my bed

00:11:07.980 and waited to hear my mom pass by my door

00:11:11.060 check on it

00:11:13.160 see if i was sleeping

00:11:14.220 i was good at pretending

00:11:15.620 i waited in my bed for

00:11:18.640 five long world series minutes

00:11:21.760 five minutes

00:11:23.120 i heard her come up the stairs 1.00

00:11:25.240 i heard her close her door 1.00

00:11:27.500 her night was over

00:11:29.680 and mine

00:11:32.280 had just begun

00:11:33.840 i remember getting up

00:11:39.460 carefully

00:11:41.360 oh so carefully

00:11:43.700 stepping out of my room

00:11:46.140 creeping across the floor

00:11:47.920 putting my feet in exactly the right spots

00:11:50.280 make sure there wasn't a sound

00:11:53.740 or a creak from the floorboard

00:11:55.600 and i slowly

00:11:58.320 carefully

00:11:58.940 made my way

00:12:01.640 to the vent

00:12:03.280 down on my hands and knees

00:12:06.180 my face pressed up against the cold steel

00:12:08.440 that's

00:12:13.040 when everything changed

00:12:15.000 i wasn't there for very long

00:12:17.580 when i heard a sound

00:12:18.480 i heard the sound

00:12:19.540 it was a unique sound

00:12:20.640 it was

00:12:20.940 there was nothing else in the house

00:12:22.420 that sounded like this

00:12:23.440 especially

00:12:23.960 if you're listening

00:12:25.160 for this sound

00:12:25.900 if this sound is trouble

00:12:27.100 when you hear this sound

00:12:28.960 you don't miss it

00:12:30.260 it was the sound

00:12:31.480 that only my father

00:12:32.820 could make

00:12:33.880 when he pulled the squeaky lever

00:12:35.840 on his tattered

00:12:36.760 you know

00:12:37.740 vinyl recliner

00:12:39.060 i instantly broke into a cold sweat

00:12:44.360 he's getting out of his chair

00:12:46.540 now some things in life are certain

00:12:48.820 there's death

00:12:49.620 there's taxes

00:12:50.260 and there's dad

00:12:51.540 sitting in his favorite chair

00:12:52.740 watching america's pastime

00:12:54.160 okay okay okay

00:12:55.160 don't panic

00:12:55.660 don't panic

00:12:56.120 don't panic

00:12:56.500 he's just going to the fridge

00:12:57.440 he's getting another beer

00:12:58.700 don't panic

00:12:59.260 he's got to go to the bathroom

00:13:00.740 i'm sure that's what it is

00:13:01.800 he's not coming upstairs

00:13:02.580 i haven't made a sound

00:13:03.700 but i could hear the squeak

00:13:06.780 of the floors downstairs

00:13:07.900 and they were not headed

00:13:09.040 toward the kitchen

00:13:09.660 or the bathroom

00:13:10.540 they were headed

00:13:12.840 towards the stairs

00:13:13.840 i sat there

00:13:16.140 paralyzed

00:13:17.420 seemingly unable to move

00:13:19.300 i i i don't know

00:13:20.740 what happened to me

00:13:21.520 i could not move

00:13:23.200 i don't know

00:13:25.040 when it dawned on me

00:13:26.260 that it was too late

00:13:27.540 there's no way

00:13:29.220 i could get out of here

00:13:30.040 and go back to bed

00:13:30.840 because i'd have to run

00:13:31.660 across the floor

00:13:32.320 i'd give myself away

00:13:33.440 this is the first moment

00:13:36.820 as a kid

00:13:38.500 i mean when you're a little kid

00:13:39.760 maybe

00:13:40.120 but this was

00:13:40.860 i was i was becoming an adult

00:13:42.820 and yet this was the first moment

00:13:44.540 that i

00:13:44.940 i really

00:13:46.320 willed myself

00:13:47.800 to be invisible

00:13:48.860 i am invisible

00:13:51.220 he will not see me

00:13:54.320 yeah that didn't work

00:13:58.300 um

00:13:59.040 maybe it occurred to me

00:14:01.220 when i

00:14:01.680 i heard the creak

00:14:02.880 of the first stair

00:14:03.760 that he

00:14:04.120 he wasn't

00:14:05.760 walking up the stairs

00:14:07.100 but he was

00:14:07.880 sneaking up the stairs

00:14:09.720 my dad seemed to have

00:14:10.840 the same kind of abilities

00:14:12.200 that i was developing

00:14:14.320 we had something in common

00:14:17.620 i heard the creak

00:14:20.160 of the first stair

00:14:20.860 and then the second

00:14:21.480 and then the third

00:14:22.120 and my mind

00:14:22.660 began to scramble

00:14:23.900 for an excuse

00:14:24.580 i had to go to the bathroom

00:14:25.720 and i just fell

00:14:26.640 i dropped something

00:14:27.860 down the vent dad

00:14:28.880 and i was like

00:14:29.320 i didn't have a good excuse

00:14:30.500 he was almost at the top

00:14:32.860 of the stairs

00:14:33.300 and i could see the back

00:14:34.180 of my dad's bald head

00:14:35.540 i just sat there

00:14:37.560 like a deer in headlights

00:14:38.540 my only defense

00:14:40.520 i i was just

00:14:44.840 i was just hoping

00:14:45.860 that i wasn't going to get

00:14:46.720 run over in this accident

00:14:48.060 like that deer

00:14:48.760 i i i stared at my father

00:14:52.120 he stopped at the top

00:14:53.280 of the stairs

00:14:53.800 his back still facing me

00:14:54.980 he still hadn't seen me

00:14:56.160 he paused

00:14:57.280 i was frozen

00:14:58.240 and then he turned

00:14:59.760 but the way he turned

00:15:01.040 he turned and looked

00:15:03.220 straight directly at me

00:15:05.600 he knew i was there

00:15:09.160 with the vent

00:15:09.900 i wondered if

00:15:13.460 he had known

00:15:14.320 i had been there

00:15:15.120 every night before

00:15:16.180 i sat there

00:15:19.520 and i waited

00:15:20.240 a very loud

00:15:21.000 and unbearable punishment

00:15:22.140 and my dad

00:15:22.940 looked at me

00:15:24.680 and i looked up to him

00:15:25.660 guilty eyes

00:15:26.480 begging for lenience

00:15:27.720 and i just said

00:15:29.520 hi

00:15:32.060 he looked at me

00:15:35.220 and he smiled

00:15:35.720 and he shook his head

00:15:36.400 and he said

00:15:36.680 come downstairs

00:15:38.320 i thought i was going

00:15:41.920 to get the punishment

00:15:42.600 of my life

00:15:43.340 and then he said

00:15:45.460 and don't wake

00:15:46.700 your mother

00:15:47.160 the two of us

00:15:49.980 both tipped back

00:15:50.720 down the stairs

00:15:51.480 and we sat there

00:15:52.980 trying to contain

00:15:53.960 our excitement

00:15:54.640 as the game

00:15:55.480 went into extra innings

00:15:56.920 i'd never seen

00:15:58.460 a smile on my dad's

00:15:59.700 face like this

00:16:00.720 i knew

00:16:02.680 if just the two of us

00:16:04.340 had rooted hard enough

00:16:05.580 that the red socks

00:16:06.380 would win

00:16:07.020 they couldn't lose

00:16:08.760 because my dad and i

00:16:09.940 were now in it together

00:16:11.500 it was the bottom

00:16:13.920 of the 12th inning

00:16:14.880 up steps

00:16:16.280 carlton fisk

00:16:17.460 red socks

00:16:19.220 catcher

00:16:19.860 first pitch up

00:16:21.560 and in

00:16:22.380 ball one

00:16:23.600 palms were sweating

00:16:27.060 in anticipation

00:16:27.880 pat darcy

00:16:28.880 cincinnati pitcher

00:16:29.960 began his windup

00:16:30.880 and my dad said

00:16:31.580 this is it

00:16:32.360 this is it

00:16:33.500 he was right

00:16:36.820 darcy released

00:16:39.700 a sinker

00:16:40.460 down and in

00:16:41.740 fisk just

00:16:43.240 belted it down

00:16:44.260 the line

00:16:44.680 my dad stood up

00:16:45.960 and yelled

00:16:46.480 stay fair

00:16:47.400 stay fair

00:16:48.260 and as if

00:16:49.660 any thought

00:16:50.760 of my mom

00:16:51.280 sleeping

00:16:51.720 was completely

00:16:52.520 gone

00:16:53.020 and disappeared

00:16:53.700 with a crack

00:16:54.400 of the bat

00:16:54.800 stay fair

00:16:55.620 he kept screaming

00:16:56.500 even fisk

00:16:57.380 was standing

00:16:57.920 on the plate

00:16:58.320 with both hands

00:16:59.020 waving

00:16:59.400 trying to will

00:17:00.520 the ball fair

00:17:01.380 my dad and i

00:17:02.200 were both now

00:17:02.960 standing screaming

00:17:03.860 stay fair

00:17:05.260 some people would say

00:17:10.240 that my dad and i

00:17:12.020 had nothing to do

00:17:12.900 with the world series

00:17:14.480 that year

00:17:15.020 some would say

00:17:16.580 that a father and a son

00:17:17.460 can't make a ball

00:17:18.260 stay fair

00:17:18.860 but i know in my heart

00:17:21.160 i know that's not true

00:17:22.300 the ball banged off

00:17:25.020 the metal mesh

00:17:26.200 of the pole

00:17:27.080 and it was fair

00:17:28.100 it was a home run

00:17:29.800 it won the game

00:17:31.600 my dad and i were

00:17:33.140 just screaming

00:17:33.920 we were jumping so much

00:17:35.000 i think we woke up

00:17:35.800 the entire neighborhood

00:17:36.840 in the process

00:17:37.520 well everybody

00:17:38.640 except my mother

00:17:39.500 but we didn't care

00:17:41.960 and once everything

00:17:44.560 calmed down

00:17:45.300 it was just me

00:17:46.280 and my dad

00:17:46.900 standing there

00:17:47.760 staring at the tv

00:17:49.900 and then

00:17:50.500 at each other

00:17:51.760 our shoulders

00:17:52.940 were squared back

00:17:53.940 fisk

00:17:55.720 could hit the ball

00:17:56.740 but we were the ones

00:17:59.040 that kept it fair

00:17:59.900 the red socks

00:18:04.740 would go on to lose

00:18:05.460 game seven

00:18:06.100 but

00:18:06.320 it didn't matter

00:18:07.980 i had spent

00:18:09.880 a night with my dad

00:18:11.320 that neither of us

00:18:12.200 would ever forget

00:18:13.020 my dad and i

00:18:15.480 won game six

00:18:16.500 of the world series

00:18:17.300 and we won it together

00:18:19.000 as i look back

00:18:24.880 on

00:18:25.200 that night

00:18:28.360 in october

00:18:29.060 i can't help

00:18:33.640 but think

00:18:34.100 that the

00:18:35.320 only way

00:18:36.520 that this

00:18:38.220 could have been

00:18:39.140 better

00:18:39.860 would be if

00:18:44.240 if just one

00:18:46.420 word of this

00:18:47.400 story

00:18:47.860 had actually

00:18:49.860 been true

00:18:50.580 opening day

00:18:55.360 world series

00:18:57.040 if you have

00:18:59.020 ever bought

00:19:00.740 aware of a

00:19:01.600 particular phenomena

00:19:02.880 where every now

00:19:04.540 and then

00:19:05.080 you just stop

00:19:06.040 and look up

00:19:06.920 at the ceiling

00:19:07.420 going

00:19:07.840 could i just

00:19:08.860 have a day

00:26:54.940 i know i know we heard it yeah racist

00:26:58.200 uh the uh the problem is is i don't

00:27:01.700 like the normalization of everything

00:27:03.460 well yeah i know that i guess i guess i

00:27:08.440 hadn't thought of it that way that that

00:27:10.460 we're normalizing but i i just want a

00:27:13.480 feeling of normal during this time i know

00:27:16.860 that's exactly what happens in a in a

00:27:20.660 marxist revolution you don't care 0.78

00:27:23.800 anymore you just want it to stop and

00:27:27.100 you want it to go back to normal and uh

00:27:30.460 so i understand it it's just something

00:27:32.360 that you pat have been been by my side

00:27:35.340 helping research and and and warning

00:27:38.000 people when we get there don't do that

00:27:41.880 yeah but it's okay in sports it's fine

00:27:44.300 in sports

00:27:44.900 just need it right okay all right no i

00:27:49.980 no i get it i get it i get it uh can we

00:27:52.920 talk about some some real problems uh you

00:27:56.500 know um and i hate to be all moralistic

00:28:00.140 but if you're cheating on your spouse i

00:28:05.060 think we all we all know that that's bad

00:28:07.360 right uh yeah we do we do yeah okay all

00:28:12.760 right all right what would you compare it

00:28:14.380 to pat uh what would i compare cheating on

00:28:18.100 your spouse to yeah like like how bad of you

00:28:21.700 know well i i would place it right under

00:28:23.780 murder i would place it just under murder on

00:28:28.160 the scale of badness so there's really

00:28:31.120 there's murder and then there's cheating

00:28:32.480 on your spouse really yes if you if you

00:28:37.360 murder your spouse that you were cheating

00:28:40.240 on is that double the crime or is it just

00:28:43.580 like yeah they're both kind of the same so

00:28:45.960 only one it's a really only one sin but

00:28:50.040 it's a big one well americans americans

00:28:52.620 are very very clear on uh on how bad it is a

00:28:56.580 poll of a thousand people found that one in

00:29:00.740 ten consider their significant other eating

00:29:04.200 at mcdonald's without them is as bad as

00:29:07.920 cheating on them what what yeah yeah eating

00:29:15.380 at mcdonald's without them wow it's like

00:29:18.200 cheating on them wow now i do kind of

00:29:23.260 understand that you know i uh if if she eats

00:29:28.420 at mcdonald's i'm i'm okay as long as she

00:29:33.440 brings me like a large coke or okay eyes or

00:29:37.460 something like that okay but if she's eating

00:29:40.380 there and i get into her car and it smells

00:29:42.760 like mcdonald's and i say did you just eat

00:29:45.320 at mcdonald's i do feel a little dirty i do

00:29:48.240 feel a little dirty uh yeah i i mean first of

00:29:53.240 all it's hard for me to even imagine my wife

00:29:55.400 at mcdonald's because that would just not

00:29:57.320 happen uh but that's sad you know i i would

00:30:01.300 sad i would think that if you watch a

00:30:06.440 netflix series that you're watching

00:30:08.000 together and then when she goes to bed

00:30:10.580 early and you sneak up stairs and watch it

00:30:13.740 alone one night that's like cheating on

00:30:15.860 your spouse right that would be closer i

00:30:19.240 yeah that would be closer no i'm a very big

00:30:23.100 food person so uh the mcdonald's thing is

00:30:26.500 more meaningful to you it's that's not that

00:30:29.020 i know not that i have hid mcdonald's uh

00:30:34.920 wrappers and stuff and and then driven

00:30:37.220 home with the windows open even in the

00:30:39.020 blazing heat so it doesn't smell like

00:30:40.800 mcdonald's uh and not that i not that i have

00:30:45.180 ever watched uh an episode only to have my

00:30:48.540 wife go did you did you watch did you

00:30:51.660 already watch this no uh not that i've

00:30:55.180 done either one of those things but it

00:30:57.860 does make you yeah it does make you feel

00:30:59.700 a little dirty it does feel like you've

00:31:01.280 been out swinging or something when when

00:31:04.120 she looks at you and she's like and you're

00:31:06.600 like that that's the worst that it gets

00:31:10.380 relationship honey yeah i did watch the

00:31:12.900 episode without you but that's i mean

00:31:22.020 any of the cast members not a one of them

00:31:24.420 right so right and uh you know it's worse 0.99

00:31:28.200 than you think i watched the whole damn 0.98

00:31:30.100 series and i'm watching 0.99

00:31:32.640 and i'm watching it a second time

00:32:25.080 hour is relief factor sam lives in

00:32:27.640 colorado a while back he faced something

00:32:30.040 pretty scary spinal surgery he'd been

00:32:32.780 having severe pain in his legs needed the

00:32:35.340 surgery desperate before the surgery he

00:32:37.320 discovered relief factor was able to use

00:32:40.000 it to mitigate some of the pain until it

00:32:42.100 was time but after the surgery he found

00:32:44.880 that if he kept taking relief factor it

00:32:46.900 worked as kind of maintenance keeping the

00:32:49.040 residual pain away in the end everything

00:32:52.380 worked out pretty well for uh for him

00:32:54.660 here's the best part sam now is 73 and he

00:32:59.620 does long distance hiking snowshoeing and

00:33:03.140 hunting with all of his heavy backpacks

00:33:05.340 see i was thinking that he was smart

00:33:09.940 sam that's what you have grandchildren for

00:33:13.380 you don't carry those backpacks you don't

00:33:16.660 even you don't snowshoe it up the hill you

00:33:18.400 get into a some sort of a rhino you get

00:33:21.220 into some sort of a vehicle and you drive

00:33:23.900 and then you have the kids drag all the 0.97

00:33:26.920 crap sam sam sam well he's halfway there 0.99

00:33:31.420 uh he is uh got his life back because of 0.97

00:34:47.220 there's nothing like the the west coast i

00:34:51.400 think has the best uh weather anything

00:34:54.440 west of the rockies has the best weather

00:34:57.520 in the country i think well i mean maybe

00:35:01.120 not where the donner party died but other

00:35:04.320 than that some of the best weather uh did

00:35:07.600 you see uh did you see uh joe biden and

00:35:11.580 what he said about donald trump being our

00:35:13.800 first racist president yeah no our first 0.94

00:35:16.360 race first racist president most races

00:35:18.360 amazing really that's amazing yeah i i was

00:35:22.200 thinking i don't know woodrow wilson yeah

00:35:24.940 uh andrew jackson perhaps andrew jackson

00:35:28.660 would be a very good one or maybe lbj

00:35:31.460 would be uh would be a great one i mean

00:35:34.620 there were massive racist presidents all

00:35:38.420 of them strangely uh democrats but uh you

00:35:42.620 know i'm just for that for that matter if

00:35:44.700 i'm if i may add a potential one here

00:35:47.340 uh barack obama with with his comments

00:35:50.320 about typical white calling that well yeah

00:35:53.280 are you calling the president a racist but

00:35:57.440 there's some that's the most racist thing

00:35:59.200 uh isn't that racist thing i've ever heard

00:36:01.380 it used to be but it doesn't seem to be

00:36:03.680 anymore but with questions it doesn't or

00:36:06.800 answers like this uh about his grandma

00:36:09.620 uh typical white person right typical white

00:36:12.420 person uh who uh if she sees somebody on

00:36:16.280 the street uh-huh that she doesn't know

00:36:18.240 there's a you know there's a reaction that's

00:36:20.160 been bred into it's been bred that's been

00:36:23.100 bred into her if anybody said that about a 0.97

00:36:26.040 black person can you imagine they'd still be 1.00

00:36:28.800 harping about that to this day you'd be 0.76

00:36:31.140 jimmy the greek yes be jimmy the greek yes

00:36:34.080 uh it's it's it's remarkable and it's remarkable

00:36:37.880 how i don't know accurate we were on our

00:36:42.220 questions about barack obama because he did

00:36:45.900 harbor all of those things he did listen to

00:36:48.780 jeremiah right because jeremiah right is

00:36:51.160 practically running our country now at least

00:36:53.540 the spirit of jeremiah right is have you seen

00:36:56.420 next hour i think it's next hour we're going

00:36:58.260 to get into the the uh new board planks of

00:37:02.240 the uh the democratic platform oh my gosh

00:37:06.460 i i don't know how you can vote for these

00:37:09.520 people but uh i don't good luck with that

00:37:12.900 and and here's something that um we played in

00:37:16.580 the four minute buzz if you're watching uh

00:37:19.560 uh watching this program on blaze tv at the

00:37:22.280 top of every hour we have the four minute buzz

00:37:24.240 and we go over some of the news and i saw this i

00:37:27.520 did not see this yesterday but i think this is

00:37:30.340 from msnbc i want you to listen to what this

00:37:34.040 person is actually saying when they were talking

00:37:37.420 about sending uh federal forces in to protect

00:37:41.340 the federal buildings in chicago and in seattle and

00:37:46.520 in uh portland listen to this analysis this is what

00:37:51.860 would happen if you were a an authoritarian

00:37:54.400 president who was preparing to to resist

00:37:57.980 a loss in the election you would be saying the things don trump is saying

00:38:02.220 and you would be gradually rolling out federal police power

00:38:06.820 into the states against the the wishes of the mayors and governors in question

00:38:12.080 this is how it would happen this is how the movie would play out and anybody

00:38:15.720 who's not looking at this with a state of alarm and concern

00:38:19.360 and worried about is this president going to to employ formally martial law

00:38:24.600 at some point as ron wyden suggested yesterday is that on the president's mind

00:38:28.460 is there anybody having watched donald trump for the last three and a half years

00:38:31.860 who doesn't think that donald trump would try to employ martial law

00:38:35.540 if he thought it was the only way he could stay in power

00:38:37.560 yeah that would be me yeah there's me i've been watching donald trump

00:38:42.100 i've been watching donald trump in the most easily authoritarian time perhaps in my lifetime

00:38:49.960 not take any of the authoritarian powers and then i've seen uh crazy stuff happening in the states

00:38:58.940 happening with governors who keep crying that donald trump is an authoritarian

00:39:03.760 and yet they seem to be the authoritarians uh no i don't think this is what he's doing

00:39:10.320 putting uh soldiers on the streets so he can declare martial law uh for the election that is

00:39:18.400 that is dangerous rhetoric and and far far beyond anything i ever said anything i ever said about

00:39:28.640 barack obama i take back all of my apologies to you worms but first let me tell you about rough greens

00:39:36.960 uh our dog is part of the family and my dog has not had a leash or a collar on him for

00:39:43.500 two solid months and i have to put the collar back on him today and he's gonna i know he's gonna look

00:40:37.820 mr brad thor is next

00:40:41.620 what you're about to hear is the fusion of entertainment

00:41:11.560 holy cow i've just heard a montage of some of the most incredible statements i've ever heard

00:41:26.140 from so-called responsible people on projecting that this president is going to declare martial law

00:41:34.740 and that's why he's sending people in uh to protect the federal buildings it's just a softening of the

00:41:41.960 people's will uh because he's going to declare martial law and uh not leave the white house if he's

00:41:49.020 not re-elected it is truly astounding what these people are doing to split us apart the good news is

00:41:58.100 it's summer and summer means a new brad thor novel and there's a new novel coming out it's called near

00:42:05.920 dark which is his 19th i think in the series it's really really good but summer also means

00:45:05.760 totally changed um your your main character uh he's not the same scott is uh if you read the last

00:45:20.420 man coming into this novel we'll talk about that here in a second first can i play something for you

00:45:25.400 and i want to get your opinion because you are a guy who war games and i believe we are in the

00:45:31.720 middle of an american revolution we have communists we have islamists uh we have marxists and radicals and

00:45:40.840 and uh uh antifa they're all gathered together and they are being coordinated i believe by some of the

00:45:49.360 leaders of the democratic party and some of the big financiers of the democratic party

00:45:53.620 to have a revolution in our country is that far-fetched brad i think we're i think we're

00:46:02.820 cold i don't think it's far-fetched i haven't seen anything uh you you talk to some different people

00:46:08.880 that i do as far as coordination i think we've lost our way and i don't think we if you if you

00:46:15.420 are not unifying people they naturally drift and divide and i think we lack a unifying force in this

00:46:21.640 country particularly now all right brad yeah i'm gonna give you i'm gonna give you a pass because i

00:46:27.420 know you've been working on your book and i know what that's like you completely are in a cone of

00:46:32.900 silence but i'm going to assign you the last four shows the last four episodes of my tv show

00:46:40.140 the wednesday night special and you watch them and then you come back and tell me this isn't well

00:46:45.640 coordinated this is uh i'll do my report okay this is evil what's going on but let me just uh let me

00:46:54.020 just uh play one thing this is what the uh uh all of the tv analysts are now saying about donald trump

00:47:03.060 sending in the dhs which i don't want and i talked to the leader of the dhs yesterday i talked to the

00:47:10.860 the acting secretary i said we do not want a national police force how are you doing this

00:47:17.900 constitutionally he explained it and he explained exactly what they're doing this is however what

00:47:24.220 the left on television is saying listen to this if he loses and i expect that he will we have to be

00:47:30.420 prepared for things that this nation has never faced um before and unfortunately that could involve

00:47:36.060 the use of uh you know these these forces it has been suggested that this is a trial run by the

00:47:42.280 president of the united states who may be organizing uh to not accept uh what happens when we have the

00:47:50.440 election i think we should all take very seriously the prospect that this is as i say a dress rehearsal a

00:47:56.540 trial run you don't draw a line in the sand this country may be looking down the barrel of martial

00:48:05.320 law in the middle of an election this is i guess the president's own version of martial law since

00:48:11.720 the real military uh has kind of pushed back is there anybody having watched donald trump for the

00:48:17.960 last three and a half years who doesn't think that donald trump would try to employ martial law

00:48:22.540 if he thought it was the only way he could stay in power yeah yeah that would be me uh i thought he

00:48:29.040 would i thought he would be a dictator and he is he has avoided every single thing that the left has

00:48:35.320 been trying to push him into uh but anyway go ahead your analysis here brad is he i'm confused because

00:48:42.400 yes i haven't paying attention to the news is he trying to enact martial law is he trying to lose the

00:48:48.360 election they can't have it both ways it depends on what day you tune in one day he's actively trying 0.99

00:48:55.640 to throw the election the next day it's martial law this is ridiculous this is ridiculous and it is 0.99

00:49:00.580 even beneath our fellow citizens on the other side of the aisle this is this is absolutely ridiculous 0.77

00:49:06.620 the president has every right and he actually has a duty to protect federal buildings particularly in

00:49:12.560 cities yes the mayors have lost control and they will not protect private property or government

00:49:18.540 property so i mean this is they're not brad you and i either you and i both are a constitutionalist we

00:49:26.480 both don't like the idea of any kind of federal control on anything quite frankly and i'm more down

00:49:32.800 that road than you are um however when the president of the united states has states in rebellion which i think

00:49:41.880 the city of portland is in rebellion the city of chicago is in rebellion when they're in rebellion

00:49:48.380 and they are not protecting the people and in chicago you have the i think he was the chief of

00:49:54.900 police or the commissioner that reached out to the white house and said we need help our mayor is out of

00:50:00.540 control what are you going to do he's not going in and becoming the police force he's saying i've got to

00:50:07.500 protect federal property and federal buildings and there's nothing wrong with that and there's

00:50:14.620 also nothing wrong with beefing up existing federal task forces that work with local law enforcement to

00:50:20.500 to stem uh child sex trafficking to solve murders to stem the flow of drugs this is this is silly and

00:50:27.900 by the way you know what the silliest thing is that i hear from people that the dhs guys are driving around 0.80

00:50:33.100 in vans you know why they're driving around in vans they're on tdy assignment do you want them each to

00:50:37.940 rent their own car and stick taxpayers with that i'd rather see them in vans so you can get six guys in

00:50:43.780 a van the idea that somehow this is a secret police force that is disappearing people in portland

00:50:48.600 is is ridiculous but this is the age we live in when this isn't this is it's all about who can get the

00:50:55.320 bigger headline who can create more of a dramatic i mean these politicians will have great careers in

00:51:00.980 in fact i wish they'd all leave dc and go to hollywood we get much better movies out of these

00:51:05.740 people all right let's uh let's talk about your new novel near dark because the thing i like about

00:51:11.140 you is i've always called your books faction uh because they're not pure fiction they're they're

00:51:16.280 faction and you always have really great historical points that even i don't know um and they're all

00:51:24.340 buried gems i love reading your novels uh with google uh close to me so i can because i used to

00:51:31.740 at the very beginning you know probably on book three uh uh i would go that can't be true and i'd google

00:51:38.520 it now whenever i'm reading your books i'm like i can't believe that's true and i google it to look at

00:51:44.020 the real story so um can we start with just some of the cool history from the book sure absolutely

00:51:52.340 okay do you want me all right so you can yeah yeah i've got them but you go ahead you can pick

00:51:58.180 out a couple of things and we'll see if they're the same well it's okay so it's fun for me if you

00:52:04.380 pick them out because i like to know what you liked okay um you made references to the brenner

00:52:10.560 assignment the most dangerous spy mission undertaken in world war ii tell me the brenner assignment

00:52:16.640 so the brenner assignment was carried out by the precursor to the cia our wartime military uh

00:52:24.360 intelligence units where we dropped all of these oss operatives behind enemy lines in italy to blow 0.59

00:52:30.640 up a rail line that was helping to supply the nazis it is the brenner assignment is a is a great 0.53

00:52:36.400 non-fiction book patrick o'donnell by the way i've become friends with him on twitter if you ever get a

00:52:41.320 chance to interview him he's a brilliant interview and he wrote the book the brenner assignment

00:52:45.440 he went and did his research in the area it is this dramatic it all happens during the winter time

00:52:50.680 there's a love affair with the contessa that's helping hide an american spy uh typical snafus

00:52:56.340 they can't get resupplied and the nazis are doing what's called a restrepo with the italians

00:53:02.220 and they are going village to village hunting these americans and it is like marcus luttrell lone

00:53:08.200 survivor meets uh you know one of the old world war ii where eagles dare sort of a thing it's

00:53:14.780 incredible um tell me about the history of the monks and the nuns in uh mont saint michelle

00:53:21.040 so mont saint michelle is one of my favorite places on earth and i've always wanted to include it

00:53:27.540 in a thriller and i did in this one in mont saint michelle is a fortified village with uh it's on a

00:53:34.380 tidal island near the beaches in normandy and so when the when the tides come in at night it is

00:53:39.480 completely surrounded and it's never been it's never been taken in battle and it's got this

00:53:45.080 beautiful abbey with this gorgeous church on top and uh one of the most visited sites in europe

00:53:50.800 it's been it was discovered by an irish monk he settled there first in the eighth century and it's

00:53:56.820 been consistently uh developed and redeveloped through different uh kings in the church it's

00:54:02.660 you have to look it up online it is gorgeous so that it had to be the cover of the book that's why

00:54:07.040 we used it so beautiful um the the um let me let me just go to one that i i know has a great story

00:54:16.300 because you touch on it in the book uh the uh the excerpt about uh camp david the the nikita khrushchev

00:54:28.420 visit in 59 and then i think even crazier is the part of the book where you talk about nixon

00:54:35.500 uh in 1973 so so tell the two stories there so it is funny because i gave the national security

00:54:46.320 advisor for president trump is a good friend of mine uh robert o'brien and i sent him an early

00:54:50.440 copy of the book and he read it he called me up and he said when did you get invited to camp david i

00:54:54.800 said i've never been to camp david he goes it's impossible he said the stuff you describe in this

00:54:58.960 book can only mean that you've been there it was very funny um my favorite story is it was i believe

00:55:05.720 brezhnev in nixon right when he gets i talk about how he gets it was kruschev it was krus first it was

00:55:12.460 kruschev that that went to camp david and loved all of the cowboy movies they yes they sat yes they

00:55:20.800 sat together he and the president sat together and they watched all of those cowboy movies together

00:55:25.200 it was a really neat they actually stayed in the same cabin uh at camp david which is so weird think

00:55:31.300 about it yeah can you imagine i mean it's it's really a no the two of them in the same cabin up

00:55:39.060 like teenagers watching you know high noon and the gun gunfight at okay corral that is just a time

00:55:46.540 that does not come back does not come back no um and then it's and then in 73 tell me we gave and

00:55:55.460 i'd love to know even the story of this car but we gave uh lenid brezhnev uh a lincoln continental

00:56:03.360 that ford motor company donated and nixon gave him the car because he apparently loved american cars

00:56:11.740 he did he did and so he he nixon said would you like to take it for a spin and he said yes

00:56:18.340 through his interpreter and they jumped into the car without interpreters and without their security

00:56:23.580 details and brezhnev took off like for this thing i mean this is a i mean the engines and those things

00:56:29.400 were huge and this is a fast car and he can't read english and there is a sign coming up for basically

00:56:35.880 a right angle and nixon is telling him to slow down slow down and brezhnev's smile is just getting

00:56:42.280 bigger and bigger and he's pinning the accelerator to the floor of this thing and this curve is coming

00:56:47.920 up nixon knows the curve is coming up and he's begging him to slow down and at the last minute

00:56:53.080 brezhnev sees it puts the brakes on steers into the curve they the two of them were almost killed

00:56:59.400 in this car at camp david it is it they where did you find that story i i it's out there you have to

00:57:09.220 dig you have to dig you have to have sources you have to have ways to find it but i found it

00:57:13.080 it's a great story i mean that's just a great story do you know what happened do you know what

00:57:17.980 happened to the car did he take it back to russia you know what i did not i did not further it i'm

00:57:24.120 assuming it did go back to russia i mean ford gave him the car it wasn't just a tool around it

00:57:28.980 at camp david with that's why they have the golf cart yeah so i bet he took it back that's crazy

00:57:33.580 to know where it is now yeah it would be would be okay um we're going to come back with brad thor

01:00:17.900 books to be able to jump into this one and they're all really good um so take us through what near

01:00:24.080 dark is about so near dark the theme of darkness plays throughout this thriller and i mean that's

01:00:30.360 what this is this is you coin the term faction where you don't know where the facts end and the

01:00:35.140 fiction begins so uh this opens up basically with harvath at the lowest point in his life personally

01:00:41.060 professionally he was staying at a resort in one of the keys and they kick him out because he's drinking

01:00:46.260 himself to death in the bar and he starts a fight and he ends up in a dive bar drinking cheap booze uh

01:00:51.680 at the end of the road in key west and uh he doesn't want to go on living he's had everything taken

01:00:56.740 from him this is a guy who's given himself over and over again for his country and now everybody he

01:01:02.700 loves is gone they've been slaughtered and uh he doesn't want to keep going and he's in a bar he's

01:01:08.380 drinking and two guys walk in and glenn you've spent enough time with these guys to know that uh no

01:01:19.180 attention notices details picks up when something's wrong and harvath spidey senses kick in when these

01:01:24.820 two guys walk into the bar what he doesn't know is as odd as they are and is out of place and the

01:01:29.420 things he's seeing that are all wrong they're there for him if this was a movie poster for this book

01:01:34.580 the the tagline on it would be a hundred million dollar bounty has just been placed on the head of

01:05:24.680 the rolling pin slips like 27 times i don't think that's a murder to open the book i don't think

01:05:32.320 i don't think uh i don't think spousal abuse is and she doesn't need a rolling she doesn't need 1.00

01:05:40.020 a rolling pin she just come right at me with her i got you now my pretty and she would choke the life 1.00

01:05:47.860 out of me all right so that was one of the things that i wondered about at the beginning of the book

01:05:52.460 because scott goes back into action but if he wants to just kill himself well why doesn't he

01:05:59.240 just let them do it okay that's a great question why doesn't he do it and actually that's the first

01:06:06.380 thing that happens in the book somebody comes to his rescue he doesn't do it right he he doesn't so

01:06:12.820 somebody comes to his rescue and that's what sets the ball it sets the game going but what's interesting

01:06:18.660 for me is when i did this hundred million dollar bounty on harvett's head and i talked to some of

01:06:25.400 my guys in the special operations world the intelligence community i said what would you do

01:06:29.620 if this happened to you you know and how do you how do you figure out and these guys are after you and

01:06:33.980 he goes brad first of all i will never become the mouse i am always the cat i don't care about

01:06:40.000 a hundred million dollar bounty nobody's turning me into the mouse okay he said you flip the script

01:06:44.960 he said whoever this is they become the mice you're the cat and you don't stop until you put 0.90

01:06:50.560 every single one of them in the ground you kill the contract by killing the people behind the contract

01:06:55.160 that's what he said to me and i was like whoa glad you're on our side yeah wow uh brad it's it's pat

01:07:02.520 gray you you describe in the book uh that the cia has been degraded to the point where it can barely

01:07:09.040 operate is that is that something that actually happened and if so when is it still going on now

01:07:15.020 is it has it been in that kind of shape no it's not degree there is a lot of bureaucracy there like

01:07:22.340 any government agency there's tons and tons of bureaucracy so that was that is the premise

01:07:28.660 by which we set up a private group on the outside kind of you move into a condo while your home

01:07:34.680 is you know getting the the black mold cleaned out of it and so that was the idea that all of

01:07:40.360 these sensitive assignments that the cia is too bogged down to carry out move over to this private

01:07:45.740 group until the current director that the president of my novel put in cleans out all the deadwood

01:07:50.380 you know there's the same reason porter goss was sent into the cia and he didn't succeed i mean in real

01:07:55.480 life porter goss was sent in with a mandate from the president to clean out the deadwood and it just

01:07:59.540 didn't happen so uh there is that complaint from some of the operatives there that they

01:08:04.240 want to go to recruit this person or do this assignment their request gets sent back four

01:08:09.060 or five times because the commas are in the wrong places which is insane you know there is a complaint

01:08:14.060 that there are some middle managers more concerned with getting promoted thereby doing the safe thing

01:08:18.880 you know it's like a prosecutor who lets cases go because they they're they're afraid they're going

01:08:23.260 to lose the case so they don't prosecute because they want a perfect record so they can get the next

01:08:27.420 promotion and that's not the way that should be run it's not everybody at the agency but

01:08:31.700 mm-hmm the the a year ago i i was at a point to where i was like i really don't like the talk of

01:08:39.580 the deep state i think this is you know not good not healthy for us etc etc then they impeached the

01:08:46.100 president and i went and tried to figure out what was going on in ukraine and we talked to people in

01:08:53.100 ukraine we talked to people uh who were testifying in court in ukraine we got the documents etc etc

01:09:00.640 there is a deep state and it does include members of the state department which i think just is a

01:09:09.140 hornet's nest that just needs to be fumigated i would fire everybody in the state department

01:09:15.920 um but there is the state department there are members of justice and members of the intelligence

01:09:24.760 community that are going their own way and believe they're right and uh just want to set up kind of

01:09:32.800 a system that is a shadow and it doesn't matter what any president says have you found this uh in your

01:09:41.580 uh research and and do you find that people inside the intelligence community want that to stop

01:09:50.000 well you know the the kinds of people that i am spending my time with are at the pointy end of

01:09:57.100 the spear so we're talking about uh tier one people in the special operations community uh people that

01:10:04.420 the cia is sending overseas to do some of this nation's most dangerous business i i'm surrounded by

01:10:09.920 incredibly honorable people that believe that they are doing what they're doing for the good of the

01:10:15.960 country so i don't i don't have inner actions with people who are mid-level bureaucrats and things

01:10:23.920 like that who may want to gum up the work no but i think it's i think it's the agent that you're

01:10:30.500 talking about and the kind of guys that i know that are true heroes and are there and they just want

01:10:37.000 to do right by america and they do abide by whatever the president says even if they don't like it

01:10:43.700 if that is the united states policy they will go along with it and execute it unless it's illegal

01:10:49.440 or or something like that um and uh i'm not talking about those the the other people mid-management i am

01:10:57.260 talking about the point of the spear people because they have to know that things are happening around

01:11:04.260 them and it gives them a bad name and it would make it very difficult for me at least if i were in their

01:11:11.200 position to do their job and to feel good about it if they didn't feel that they were that's that

01:11:18.280 there were those in the agency that really had a different agenda yeah well i have not i i buy a lot

01:11:27.260 of pitchers of beer and a lot of state dinners or at least i did before covid and uh you know i've got

01:11:32.840 a very very good friend of mine whose job it is to go put bags on heads of bad guys and bring them

01:11:38.680 to justice and he's he's one of the most plugged in guys uh and you know the the complaints from

01:11:46.240 the frontline guys that i hear are always the same too much bureaucracy not getting everything they

01:11:50.880 need it's a pain in the ass to get this this and this some of these guys even have to pay sources 0.83

01:11:55.420 out of their own pockets and wait like you know half a year to get reimbursed and that picks them off 0.92

01:11:59.360 too it's more the bureaucracy and red tape stuff i hear about i i would tell you honestly if i heard

01:12:05.360 of any of this deep state kind of stuff i haven't uh but it may just be the people i'm mixing with

01:12:10.600 are predominantly outside the united states and come home spend time with their kids go to baseball

01:12:15.640 games their families and then they're off again so they're not really around the office that much

01:12:19.480 do you have any uh comment let me take you to current news do you have any comment on uh what's

01:12:26.760 happening with us in china uh it looks like we're we're moving towards a war footing uh and they 0.78

01:12:35.020 are as well we you know they they have infiltrated our universities they are they've infiltrated and

01:12:41.740 stole us blind um there are operatives but we just shut down the consulate and they were out in the

01:12:48.580 courtyard burning papers and documents um which is is i mean almost like an uh you know the end of a

01:12:55.900 world war ii movie um and uh now they just shut down one of our consulants yeah yeah so what is

01:13:03.960 happening what do you think so listen the chinese are not our friends nor are the russians our friends 1.00

01:13:10.560 so this this what's happening in what's happening in houston is no surprise you're going to shut down

01:13:16.420 a consulate they're going to burn a lot of stuff we burn a lot of stuff we do when our stuff gets 0.95

01:13:20.680 shut down we burn a ton of things you just have to um i'd also like to see him shut down the

01:13:25.880 consulate in san francisco where they're hiding that uh military scientist that infiltrated research

01:13:31.840 centers here in the united states claimed she wasn't in the chinese military and all this kind

01:13:35.960 of stuff let's be clear the chinese communist party the only thing they do better than oppressing their 0.99

01:13:41.060 own people is stealing they are not innovators when you don't let liberty and freedom flourish you get

01:13:47.920 no innovation it's impossible so all they can do is steal from us and steal from our allies

01:13:52.680 and what's most troubling is uh what they're doing with the uyghurs or the espionage is very

01:13:58.140 troubling also what they've done with the uyghurs where 80 of the iud's that have been uh placed uh 0.65

01:14:04.580 in 2018 were done in the region where the uyghurs are it's forced sterilization the chinese are bad 1.00

01:14:09.380 people but guess what we're addicted to cheap chinese crap in this country you're upset that jobs 1.00

01:14:15.120 have gone overseas well that's because you want to go to walmart and get something for five dollars 0.98

01:14:19.080 instead of paying 15 for it there's a reason we're responsible for a lot of the problems we have

01:14:25.000 with china and i can't believe how many of our drugs in the ppe that comes from china by the way those two

01:14:30.880 guys that were hacking us all that hacking was going on by the way while china was bullying the who and 0.99

01:14:37.240 getting them to clam up and not talk about covet 19 so china could go around the world and hoard ppe 0.99

01:14:43.260 they're a bad bad country trump is the first one who's willing to say this but it is also very

01:14:52.000 frightening because you don't want a war with china and the war is the the world is so destabilized

01:14:59.320 right now uh that uh uh you know i don't know when economies start to go down the crapper people have

01:15:06.880 less and less to lose as nations how do you see this playing out well we've got a big problem we're

01:15:14.520 running out of runway as far as sanctions are concerned so robert o'brien the national security

01:15:20.000 advisor two weekends ago did an op-ed in the washington post talking about all of the companies

01:15:24.840 the tech companies that were providing all of the surveillance uh that the chinese were using 1.00

01:15:29.000 particularly against the uyghurs using in hong kong things like that we we have a problem because our

01:15:34.540 allies people we trade with are also intimately tied entangled with china so it's hard to get

01:15:40.140 partners to back off and uh of their dependence on cheap labor and cheap goods from china and get

01:15:46.240 them to exert pressure as well the one big thing that the president has done that i think is really

01:15:51.640 really good and really important is his investment in our military our navy needs to be built up to the

01:15:57.700 600 ship level um and that's going to provide us a lot of might and influence in particularly the

01:16:04.220 south china sea but the thing we need glenn we need a long-term plan we cannot allow china to be 1.00

01:16:09.880 the economic powerhouse of the future we need to think beyond one election cycle and unfortunately

01:16:14.600 we don't do that in this country the chinese think 100 500 years out and we need to have a plan we need 1.00

01:16:20.780 a moonshot here to be the economic powerhouse for the next half century century two centuries going

01:16:26.260 forward and if we don't we're going to get eclipsed by the chinese that's a big problem and the more we 1.00

01:16:31.820 have tension with them the closer we do come to war with them building up on those atolls

01:16:36.920 how they're building up these islands and taking space in the south china that doesn't belong to 0.97

01:16:42.000 them it's dangerous it's about as dangerous as i think i've ever seen it in my lifetime

01:16:46.260 uh yeah we are headed towards really treacherous uh waters i've only i've got less than a minute

01:16:52.360 do you see us prevailing in a war with china who wins that one i don't know i don't know it's uh

01:17:03.200 it's it's hard i've been trying to dig a little bit deeper into some of the war gaming that's gone

01:17:09.740 on uh the problem that happened is when we go to war with china uh russia starts moving on nato allies

01:17:16.040 particularly in the baltics and now we've got a problem can we can we honor our article five

01:17:21.100 commitment under the nato treaty while fighting uh china we can't and then we have to choose 0.80

01:17:25.620 between nato allies and fighting the chinese it doesn't it doesn't end well all right um brad

01:17:32.280 thank you so much happy friday thank you for for being on the uh program the name of his uh new book

01:17:38.140 and they are always worth reading they are so good uh near dark if you're looking for a great thriller

01:17:44.080 to take me away calgon uh this will actually be relaxing compared to watching the news uh

01:17:50.700 because it makes sense uh near dark and besides uh while this is a fiction book it has more facts in

01:18:22.180 all right better bad enough that cyber criminals are out there all the time scamming people out of 0.98

01:18:26.560 their hard-earned money but it's even worse to realize they're not going to stop uh because we're

01:18:31.320 in a vulnerable situation you know it's covid and they've doubled down phishing scams malware things like

01:18:39.280 counterfeit online pharmacies they're creating fake banking websites to take advantage of the

01:18:45.440 stimulus package these people are bad people uh and you don't want anything to do with them and you

01:26:46.100 way for us to be able to control our state hmm yeah it kind of makes sense and then we started seeing

01:26:52.540 the insanity of many of these states and covid has only made it worse well michael mccarter uh started

01:27:00.980 something move oregon's border for a greater idaho uh because eastern oregon residents uh are sick 0.66

01:27:09.100 to death of of portland and all of the things that are going on with their state and they would like

01:27:16.940 to join idaho is that even possible it hasn't happened since uh virginia seceded and uh many of

01:27:25.740 the people in virginia went to a place we now know as west virginia that happened uh during the civil war

01:27:32.700 because of uh because of slavery we now have michael on with us hello michael how are you good morning

01:27:41.180 from crazy oregon it is i mean i i grew up in the pacific northwest michael so i i know about

01:27:51.240 cascadia and everything else that's been crazy for a long time but this is dangerous crazy now in

01:27:58.380 oregon well you know glenn this this is not something that just started recently oregon's been going

01:28:05.800 downhill for years and then in watching everything that's taking place we started last fall organizing

01:28:14.500 move oregon's border for greater idaho and then the pandemic hit and then you know the riots hit

01:28:25.300 and stuff and it just supports our decision we don't have any faith in oregon's leadership at all period

01:28:34.860 um there are there are there are great parts of california and oregon that feel the same way i mean upstate

01:28:45.160 new york is is like this um uh but is there first of all have you talked to idaho is idaho interest are

01:28:52.700 they taking your phone calls yes they are uh we've had some really good response from some of the

01:28:59.380 representatives but you know i think there's a lot of people that are sitting on the sidelines just

01:29:04.180 watching this waiting to see what the vote's like and whether or not it uh you know it's going to

01:29:11.160 gain traction we're we're so who are the people that who are the people that are in and how much land

01:29:18.920 are you talking about these are generally farmers and i looked at the map and there's a lot of national

01:29:24.240 forest in there so how many people how much land and who are those people well basically you're talking

01:29:32.080 to you know in a lot of cases second third fourth fifth generation oregonians that have an attachment

01:29:40.320 to the land they're not transitional people that move up and down the west coast buy a house live there

01:29:47.260 three years sell it and move on these are people that have their roots in in this state and um you know

01:29:55.980 they are they are they are they are right now they're ranchers they're like you say farmers that are out

01:30:03.040 there and they they basically align themselves closer with idaho's conservative values than with what's

01:30:11.700 going on in northwest oregon you know northwest oregon's got about 75 percent of the population base

01:30:19.100 and the votes and with that vote they control what they want to do no matter what we say or ask or try

01:30:26.620 to input on they don't care so michael i am in i'm in idaho right now and by the way i i am not a

01:30:36.340 permanent resident in idaho in idaho so i don't have voting rights but i would vote to get you in because

01:30:42.260 you have uh oceanfront property which i think is very nice but uh right now in idaho they're trying

01:30:50.800 to get rid of their governor and recall him because even though he's a republican they think

01:30:58.060 that he has gone way too far idaho except for the boise area uh which is about 800 000 people

01:31:04.840 is is is they're ranchers and they're farmers and they're people who have lived here forever and

01:31:10.100 they're common sense and they even think that boise controls everything and nobody's listening to

01:31:19.080 to the people in the rest of the state the exact same way that upstate new yorkers feel new york city

01:31:25.440 is different yes well you know the the vote in oregon over 75 percent of the vote is in the portland

01:31:35.480 metro willamette valley and so they control the whole works and um there's some resistance

01:31:43.040 in idaho about us you know they don't want more people moving there in the liberal values moving there

01:31:51.660 uh and and we agree but eastern central and southern oregon is over 65 percent conservative

01:32:00.620 so we want to boost that conservative value that you see in idaho right now we don't want to change it

01:32:10.280 at all we don't want to move our property to idaho it's simply a lot by an adjustment between two states

01:32:18.280 right we align ourselves and it can go ahead it can be done it hasn't been done since uh the 1800s but

01:32:28.120 it can be done however when you have the vote um on this you're you're trying to raise enough

01:32:35.320 signatures as as i understand it maybe i'm wrong to get it onto the ballot and if you get it onto the

01:32:42.660 ballot do the people in portland and uh you know eugene do they have to agree to i mean because they

01:32:50.980 have more people than you do so you're destined to lose if they are voting for it well we're taking

01:32:57.480 this county by county in central eastern and southern oregon we want to hear what the county citizens

01:33:04.500 think about this and it's we're trying to get that question a question on the ballot for the november

01:33:11.860 election do we want our um county commissioners to start working towards the possibility of moving

01:33:21.580 their county to a county of idaho now if all 17 counties come out in favor of that or one by one

01:33:30.900 as we get them approved by the number of signatures then it goes to the state legislature and then the

01:33:38.440 battle really begins but it is it is possible for it to take place i mean who would have thought years

01:33:46.060 ago 2015 that donald j trump would become the president of the united states who would have

01:33:54.040 thought except for maybe people in oregon that uh socialist and marxists would be running uh a city

01:34:02.360 and a state in the united states and openly doing it oh well let's go back 20 some years to governor

01:34:12.040 morris he says come visit but don't stay he had that vision that we don't want those liberal policies

01:34:20.440 up here in oregon we are we are a free independent state well right now it's kind of like the west west

01:34:28.620 coast california oregon and washington on the west are all tied together and it's uh it doesn't sit well

01:34:36.960 with us by far yeah so yeah we want to see what that vote is like and this this election coming up

01:34:44.040 is a major election in november it only happens once in every four years that's why we're pushing to get

01:34:51.020 on that ballot county by county then it goes to the are you how close are you to that well in in we've

01:35:02.220 got uh one county positive one county at 98 of their signatures and several more lined up right

01:35:10.060 behind that with enough signatures but under covet 19 locked down kate brown it is extremely hard to go

01:35:19.040 out and get signatures i mean right you know people are just you know walk up with a mask on and grab

01:35:26.740 some pin and try to sign on the clipboard yeah it's hands off i i do know i can't remember which

01:35:34.520 state it was but there was they were trying to put something on the ballot and they went to court

01:35:38.940 um and made the case that they can't they can't get that number of signatures uh because of covid 19 and

01:35:46.540 the court did uh reduce the amount of signatures that were required and i it just happened the last few

01:35:52.280 days and i don't remember what state it was um but you might want to look into that um because it is

01:35:58.120 hard to get that many signatures federal court we filed a federal court good already for that same

01:36:05.380 reason and we're not saying that people are wrong we we filed against the governor the secretary of

01:36:11.240 state and all of the county clerks in these counties and it's saying okay i mean common sense

01:36:18.580 that the lockdown of covid 19 is restricting the ability to get the number of signatures of course it is

01:36:28.240 right so we're asking for some relief on that just like these other cases have so it's in the courts

01:36:35.400 right now here um and uh you've got a good judge do you know the judge yet yes we do we we filed

01:36:45.420 june 30th we've got a august 5th deadline to get all these signatures in county by county

01:36:51.100 and so we've we filed for relief to reduce the number of signatures required and to extend that date

01:37:00.280 to allow us to get more signatures in uh it was denied the first time and so we refiled two days ago

01:37:09.520 a motion uh i i i i do see the map of uh oregon and it is it reduces it almost to the size of

01:37:22.220 what maybe a couple of rhode islands maybe one rhode island pat have you seen this this map yeah idaho's

01:37:29.460 huge uh under this plan and uh oregon's just a teeny little sliver this is so yeah yeah idaho becomes

01:37:39.200 much bigger than washington state much right now right now a lot of the counties in eastern oregon

01:37:46.220 um are revenue negative counties for the state if the state of oregon removes those counties from

01:37:55.780 their budgets all of a sudden they've got a lot of money they can put into their liberal social program

01:38:01.420 nice i like that now you should probably keep that to yourself when you're trying to convince idaho

01:38:10.980 how are you going to convince idaho when you've used that uh with oregon yeah but i think idaho looks

01:38:20.820 at those counties in a different way they're timber friendly all of a sudden like you say

01:38:26.060 they have a deep water port in coos bay yeah where where are all the products from idaho going

01:38:32.820 to ship through to go out to the pacific rim they're going to come across no it's

01:38:37.900 it's going to be a boom economically yeah it would be it would be um all right well uh best of luck and

01:38:46.360 will you stay in touch with us and tell us how it's going and if there's anything we can do to help

01:38:50.460 uh because i i just think it's wrong california is in the same situation to where they're all those

01:38:57.240 farm farms uh and farmland in california they're not being listened to they don't have any real

01:39:03.500 representation uh and they're sick of it and quite honestly i think they should be allowed to uh to

01:39:11.260 carve out uh their own their own representation we're being controlled now by the big cities

01:39:18.180 absolutely absolutely if i can say anything more glenn i would encourage any of the oregon

01:39:25.680 citizens that are listening to this that are in our counties to sign the petition to vote to i mean

01:39:33.500 we have bought into this that one person can't make a difference that is crap we need everybody to vote

01:39:41.920 on it and and then go to our our our uh website greater idaho.org and give us a donation because

01:39:51.760 we're grassroots we're totally underfunded and nobody is paid in this whole program it's all from the

01:39:59.880 bottom up and this is a real bottom up thing this is obviously george soros is not helping them on

01:40:06.520 this uh it's greater idaho.org greater idaho.org and i i will tell you if you are if you're in

01:40:15.020 oregon now idaho is really sweet and quite honestly we need a few more farmers in here and a few more

01:40:24.120 ranchers and a few more people that think like the vast majority of idaho um because they're going to 0.95

01:40:32.140 come up here and they're right they'll wreck this state just as much as they wrecked uh oregon for 0.99

01:40:37.060 you we need to stick together uh i'm i'm excited by the possibility it's going to be a dog fight but

01:40:43.460 uh i'm up for it anything we can do to help you you just let us know greater idaho.org

01:41:56.640 you know i said 10 years ago that um we have to be a part of it where are the big ideas from the right

01:42:16.160 because the left is going for big ideas i mean i don't know if you've seen their t-shirts uh revolution

01:42:22.300 or bust uh they are going for a complete fundamental transformation of the united states of america

01:42:30.080 so why aren't we going for big ideas why aren't we presenting uh yeah you know what we're gonna have

01:42:36.760 a flat tax why aren't we talking about big ideas because big ideas excite people where are the big

01:42:45.180 ideas and i quite honestly that's why i like uh the idea that states can secede because i am sick

01:42:52.540 and tired of just a few quite frankly californians moving into a state i.e texas and changing

01:43:01.180 fundamentally our cities and because they can change a city they change everything else in the state well

01:43:09.280 is there no place for people with common sense there's there no place where people can be left

01:43:15.340 alone by these these authoritarian like uh dictator wannabes because that's really where they're headed

01:43:24.600 they will tell you how to live and i'm sick of it and i'd sure like to hear some big ideas

01:43:31.920 this is a big idea it's a big one and i think it would have to be approved by idaho oregon and then

01:43:39.360 doesn't have to be approved by congress the u.s congress too yeah i think i think i'm not sure i

01:43:47.180 would i think they i think they have to rubber stamp it um but i i think the decision is really made by

01:43:54.100 the states um as long as the states as long as they can join idaho i think it's okay they can't

01:44:02.820 make a state separate from oregon that stands on its own but hey the big idea from the left is

01:44:10.400 make dc a state and they're going for it program

01:44:14.880 i want to talk to you about rec tech the dog days of summer i am not sure why they call them that it

01:44:24.020 uh i mean might as well call it the spanish inquisition i mean if you live in texas

01:44:29.540 or the accidental days i landed on the sun uh but if it's really hot outside and well that may be the

01:44:38.800 ticket for killing the coronavirus i don't like the idea of it killing me in the bargain that's why

01:44:44.740 when i'm grilling uh which is much more often nowadays uh we use rec tech rec tech allows me

01:44:52.660 to control the cooking of my food from an app you know indoors you get started you put the food on

01:44:59.700 it's like putting hamburgers on the side of a steel battleship this thing is so well built

01:45:04.220 the grill does all of the work while i'm enjoying the air conditioning now i've been using mine for

01:45:10.620 months now and it is the easiest and you will love the food that comes out of it i want you to follow

01:45:16.640 rec tech on all social media sign up for their newsletter at rec tech grills.com r-e-c-t-e-c grills.com

01:45:25.820 do it now check out my show pat gray unleashed every weekday from 7 to 9 eastern or anywhere you get your

01:45:35.260 podcast this is the glenbeck program oh it's friday uh from the standing rock ranch uh back in dallas

01:45:55.840 at the studios on monday want to thank pat for filling in stew will be returning from his vacation

01:46:01.480 on monday as well um i've had a great week with you pat thank you so much for fun for filling in

01:46:06.900 with stew um i i want to uh i want to turn to a couple of things political uh trump now is neck

01:46:13.900 and neck with the latest survey from biden 45 47 his approval rating now is equal to obama's

01:46:21.320 in 2012 so it looks like at least to this it's a rasmussen poll so it's always more friendly

01:46:27.480 rasmussen but it looks like uh he is uh closing the gap um he has boosted his approval rating uh from

01:46:37.840 40 49 to 49 percent uh 50 uh disapproving which i think is pretty remarkable for a split as this

01:46:47.280 country is uh barack obama also had a 49 approval rating at this point biden is i think biden is the

01:46:56.020 weakest candidate i have seen uh perhaps in my lifetime um because if he goes out i mean even

01:47:03.520 charlemagne the god um which i just hate saying but anyway uh he was he's probably the most influential

01:47:10.440 black broadcaster in america he's on premier radio networks the same network that carries mine

01:47:15.540 racists um they uh they run the breakfast club and joe biden came out and said that donald trump

01:47:23.280 is the first racist president to be elected which i heard and i actually celebrated because i was like

01:47:28.680 oh good the founders are off the hook yeah um but then i started thinking well i don't know woodrow

01:47:35.100 wilson um andrew jackson dr yeah fdr and everybody leaves fdr up fdr in the last century rounded up

01:47:46.020 people because even if they were americans because of their race uh so i just like to point out you

01:47:53.040 know lbj uh wilson uh jackson is another great one and they all seem to be democrats but anyway

01:48:00.680 charlemagne said i really wish joe biden would shut the f up forever and continue to act like he's starring

01:48:09.240 in the movie a quiet place because as soon as he opens his mouth and makes any noise he gets us all 0.97

01:48:15.360 killed okay there's already so many people who are reluctantly only voting for joe biden because he's 0.96

01:48:20.920 the only option and because donald j trump is trash wow um i think he's right i think he's right you 0.88

01:48:29.660 can't have joe biden out uh because he's not in control of himself uh anymore but then again neither 0.95

01:48:37.380 are the democrats i want to i want to give you the 15 references in their platform now to whites and

01:48:44.700 you tell me uh how much they care about white people listen to this this is in their new platform

01:48:52.340 we will never amplify or legitimize the voices of bigotry racism misogyny anti-semitism islamophobia

01:49:00.800 or white supremacy first of all uh no i think blm is racist i'm sorry but anybody who says all white

01:49:10.200 people are bad or all black people are bad i'm sorry you're that is the definition of racism but

01:49:17.720 you won't amplify the voices of anti-semitism really have you met yourself lately median incomes now 0.99

01:49:25.060 listen here's plank number two medium incomes are lower and poverty rates are higher for black americans

01:49:30.840 latinos native americans and some asian americans and pacific islanders compared to median white

01:49:37.040 households there is a persistent persistent and pernicious racial wealth gap that holds millions 0.98

01:49:43.480 of americans back the typical white household holds six times more wealth than the typical latino family

01:49:50.520 10 times more wealth than the typical black family uh you know you're you're wealthier so 0.99

01:49:56.140 how do you fix that how do you fix that you got to take it away got to take it away the wealth gap

01:50:02.660 between black workers and white workers is higher today than it was 20 years ago it takes a typical 0.60

01:50:07.860 black woman 19 months to earn what a typical white man earns in 12 months well why don't we do apples 1.00

01:50:14.140 to apples instead of apples and oranges how about a black woman and a white woman and uh for typical 1.00

01:50:20.100 latinas i think they mean latinx uh and even native american women it takes almost two years even before 0.80

01:50:28.780 covid 19 the uninsured rate was nearly three times higher for latinos and twice as high for black

01:50:33.940 americans as it was for whites black children are more likely than white children to suffer from

01:50:38.140 asthma latinos native americans asian americans pacific islanders and black americans are diagnosed 0.96

01:50:44.340 with diabetes at higher rates than whites uh black women are more than three times as likely to die 0.95

01:50:49.740 from complications of pregnancy and childbirth compared to white women um black children are killed

01:50:55.900 more often with abortions uh oh no that's not in there president trump's words and actions have 0.98

01:51:02.580 given safe harbor and encouragement to bigots anti-semites anti-semites islamophobes and white supremacists 0.56

01:51:09.440 the extreme gap in household wealth and income between people of color especially black americans latinos 0.69

01:51:16.360 native americans white families is hurting our working class and holding our country back we will 1.00

01:51:21.820 confront white nationalist terrorism and combat hate crimes perpetrated against religious minorities

01:51:27.400 hmm how about religious majorities each year the united states spends 23 billion dollars in schools

01:51:36.800 predominantly white districts more than in non-white districts will root out systematic racism from our

01:51:43.860 military justice system where black service members are twice as likely as white ones to face court

01:51:48.980 marshal our counter-terrorism priorities footprints and tools should shift including to respond to the growing 0.62

01:51:57.640 threat from white supremacists and other right-wing terrorist groups that's their platform

01:52:04.580 jeez uh let me just ask you if you happen to be white do you feel like you're part of that at all 0.99

01:52:13.380 i mean it sounds to me like they're going to come and confiscate your wealth they're going to uh make you uh miserable 0.81

01:52:23.680 you know it's it's the typical socialist thing not everybody is happy everybody's just equally miserable

01:52:31.140 uh and and and second of all when they're talking about median white households uh making so much more money

01:52:39.120 than minorities uh that's not even true no you know the number one know that our median the number one

01:52:46.960 group is ahead is people from india so indians so i'm not saying native americans here the number one group

01:52:52.560 in median household income indians 131 746 per household that's impressive uh whites are number two 1.00

01:53:02.500 with uh 85 000 then latinos 67 000 per household middle easterners 56 000 uh looks like blacks make 0.99

01:53:12.740 around 45 000 medium now so it is more for whites but it's not six or ten times more as they were alleging

01:53:21.440 and also why did they leave out indians why do they make it sound like whites are the target

01:53:29.420 when the highest median income uh at about what 75 percent more yeah are indian yeah they also didn't

01:53:39.900 and what does that tell you make more as well so that's it's despicable what does that say to you

01:53:45.360 what does it say to you that minority we are not a racist country that it's not holding whites back so

01:53:53.400 whites can be number one indians and asians perform better than whites this is a meritocracy that's what

01:54:01.640 this is about oh my gosh they're just it's they have gone off the deep end and now they are spinning

01:54:09.780 this conspiracy theory and i want to play something from from yesterday sarah do you happen to have from

01:54:15.900 yesterday the um npr uh quote where they were talking about uh how people are being scooped off

01:54:26.200 the streets by these federal officers there's something really important that i need to point

01:54:31.360 out about this uh listen to this now this is from npr this is their reporter asking another reporter a

01:54:38.740 question but i want you to listen to how the question is framed listen so let me get this straight

01:54:45.080 cheryl we saw what happened in portland right like these federal agents on the ground they would

01:54:50.240 arrest people uh without cause sometimes and put them in unmarked vehicles i mean is that what this

01:54:58.380 is going to be even though the president says it's about helping local police forces are we going to see

01:55:03.160 a repeat of what we saw in portland well attorney general william barr says no

01:55:07.260 they are talking now about occupying forces and they're they're telling you lies about how they're

01:55:20.860 scooped off the street that is not happening without charges and they're beginning without charges

01:55:26.760 and they're beginning to refer to people as occupying forces they're like occupying forces why are they

01:55:33.980 saying that because they are trying to make the united states into israel and they are trying to

01:55:40.700 convince minorities that they are being occupied by white people it's despicable this is well 1.00

01:55:48.100 documented it is it is wide out in the open nobody is talking about it because nobody's reporting on it

01:55:54.900 we did on wednesday night special this last wednesday it's available for download right now at blaze tv

01:56:02.140 the last five to six specials have been some of the most important specials that i think i've ever done

01:56:09.600 because we are now at the end game scenario with the left and you need to understand what they're doing

01:56:16.840 now they're also setting us up for civil war after the election listen to this montage of what people

01:56:26.200 like william holder and senators and congressmen are now saying about sending in federal troops to

01:56:33.740 protect federal buildings listen to how they're they're casting this if he loses and i expect that he will

01:56:40.660 we have to be prepared for things that this nation has never faced um before and unfortunately that could

01:56:46.580 involve the use of uh you know these these forces it has been suggested that this is a trial run by the president

01:56:53.540 of the united states who may be organizing uh to not accept uh what happens when we have the election

01:57:01.780 i think we should all take very seriously the prospect that this is as i say a dress rehearsal a trial run

01:57:08.320 you don't draw a line in the sand senator from oregon may be looking down the barrel of martial law

01:57:16.740 in the middle of an election this is i guess the president's own version of martial law since

01:57:22.660 the real military has kind of pushed back from doing that is there anybody having watched donald trump
