1
00:00:00.920 --> 00:00:01.600
Are you ready?

2
00:00:01.840 --> 00:00:02.080
Yeah?

3
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.440
Do it? Ill Martinez Live a program about current events.

4
00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.160
Our culture, our values, our politics, and our future.

5
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:13.839
And now Bill Martinez.

6
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:16.120
Well, good morning America.

7
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:16.440
Greg.

8
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.039
Glad you join us. I'm Bill Martinez. Six minutes wrapped

9
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:21.480
in the top of the hour, Doctor George Barna is

10
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:24.280
back with us. Finally he's been running as hard as

11
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.120
he can to stay away from it. I don't blame you.

12
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.800
I mean, actually the true story is he buys me

13
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.399
lunch in California and then I stand him up on

14
00:00:32.439 --> 00:00:35.880
the following weekend. I confess I throw myself on the

15
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:38.280
mercy of the court. Doctor George, please forgive me. Never

16
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:39.520
will it ever happen again?

17
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.920
Yeah, I've heard that before. Yeah, throw clink forget it right, exactly?

18
00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:45.560
Forget it.

19
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.439
Well, I'll tell you. As spiritual grows, I should say

20
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.000
a speculation grows about a spiritual awakening amongst young Americans

21
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.000
following the September twenty twenty five assassination of our friend

22
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.079
Charlie Kirk. New research from you and the Cultural Research

23
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.280
Center at Arizona Christian University is finding that gen Z

24
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:12.640
is moving and two opposite spiritual directions at the same time.

25
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.640
What's going on here, George.

26
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.599
Well, you know, I mean people often change in this manner.

27
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.040
There's some good things that happen in their life, there's some,

28
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.159
you know, not so good things that they move toward,

29
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.319
and so that's what we're seeing with this particular generation.

30
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.439
First of all, we got to remember that when we

31
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.159
talk about all these changes that are taking place in

32
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:38.599
the beliefs and behaviors of that group, every behavior or

33
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.159
belief change that we're talking about isn't experienced by every

34
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.719
person in that generation. Most of them experience one or

35
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:50.319
two of these, not the whole shooting range. So we've

36
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:52.799
got to keep that in mind. But then also when

37
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.599
we look at the big picture, we stand back and say, Okay,

38
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.879
is this a generation that's in the beginning stages of revival?

39
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.719
I don't think so. It certainly doesn't look that way.

40
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:04.280
Now.

41
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.079
There's some good things that are going on, but as

42
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.599
I mentioned, there's some counterbalancing things too, So to me,

43
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.680
it kind of looks like business as usual.

44
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:15.240
We've seen no.

45
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.800
Change in the worldview of that particular generation over the

46
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.599
last year or two, and so they remain the lowest

47
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.639
of all the generations in terms of having a biblical worldview.

48
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.439
But in defense of that group, you've got to recognize

49
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.360
also that it took them years to develop an aceral view,

50
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.520
and so if they're going to change it, that's going

51
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:39.759
to take years as well.

52
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.400
So maybe we just need to be more patient.

53
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:45.439
Well exactly. Well, you know, I keep reminding people, we're

54
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.879
of the microwave generation. We stand in front of a

55
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.240
microwave and yell her rap, you know. And of course

56
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.800
I think in this case, for all the right reasons,

57
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.960
we want to think optimistically. You know, that God is moving.

58
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:00.719
We see responses, you know, you've earned. Talk about this,

59
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.759
I say, you know, evidence of you know, bonfires, I say,

60
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.680
bonfires of revival maybe here and there, you know kind

61
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.240
of thing. But they're just not It doesn't seem to

62
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.080
be that one catalytic event that brings them all together.

63
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:17.960
And as you said, and rightfully so. And that's what

64
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:21.039
I remind people as well, is that, you know, especially

65
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.919
the last five years of their educational life, they've been

66
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:27.080
indoctrinated to believe something that you know that a lot

67
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.919
of people in mainstream America are trying to understand, you know,

68
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:31.960
what's going on with our kids? What happened to our kids?

69
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:32.199
Right.

70
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.560
Yeah, And you know, you talk about a catalytic event,

71
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.240
and so a lot of people were saying, oh, the

72
00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.400
murder of Charlie Kirk would be that, right, because immediately

73
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:44.879
after that we heard all these reports about, oh, Bible

74
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.120
sales are breaking records and a lot more people are

75
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.719
flocking back to church. So we actually did a piece

76
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.719
of research and that's in this report here where we

77
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:58.080
look at four months before Charlie was murdered and four

78
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.599
months after he was murdered, what happened. And with this

79
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.560
generation gen Z in particular, what we see is, yeah,

80
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:10.439
there were some changes. On balance, they've actually moved farther

81
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.400
away from Christianity than.

82
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:13.319
Closer to it.

83
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.600
So I don't think we can say that that was

84
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.600
probably the catalytic event. We did see that church attendance

85
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.839
went up. We saw that more of them were willing

86
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:29.079
to call themselves Christian. We saw that more of them said, well,

87
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.199
I'd be willing to read the Bible, and they would

88
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:35.480
do it occasionally, but there wasn't a concerted effort. There

89
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.279
wasn't a consistent effort to do that. And then with

90
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.959
their beliefs, and beliefs are important because you do what

91
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.879
you believe. So you've got beliefs preceding behavior. When we

92
00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.199
look at the changes in belief, what we see is

93
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:55.319
that they've moved closer to socialism than capitalism. They've moved

94
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.720
farther away from believing absolute moral truth exists. They've moved

95
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.439
more towards saying that they believe Jesus Christ's and while

96
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.079
he was on earth. You know, they've moved more towards

97
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:12.639
saying that you can earn your way into heaven. So

98
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.439
you know, you look at those things, you say, yeah,

99
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:16.439
that doesn't sound.

100
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:19.680
Like revival to me, right, exactly. Well, and Corer, you

101
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.279
know to all that you've been doing in your research

102
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:24.959
is biblical worldview. And as you said, it's stuck at

103
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.160
one percent. I mean when I saw that number, George,

104
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.120
I was surprised. I thought, Oh, come on, give me

105
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:30.879
a tick at least, you know.

106
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:34.000
Right, Yeah, I mean that's what we were looking for.

107
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.920
It's like, come on, show some positive movement. The president

108
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.360
of Arizona Christian you know, I work closely with him.

109
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:43.839
He said, George, before you retire, before you leave, we

110
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.600
want to make sure that you see some positive growth

111
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.720
in all of this, you know. So I guess I'm

112
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:50.560
going to be there a bit longer because you know

113
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:51.720
we're not seeing it yet.

114
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:54.759
Well but just what, Well, when you get to heaven,

115
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:59.399
they'll be positive growth. Absolutely, they'll be rockets Reglar, right, Yeah,

116
00:05:59.480 --> 00:05:59.680
you know.

117
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:01.319
The other the reality is once we get to have

118
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.000
and we're not going to care about all this, We're

119
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.279
going to be focused on God and Jesus. And you know,

120
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.800
it's like, hallelujah, I've made it. I'm here, Let me

121
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.240
enjoy it, let me glorify you. This is a vacation.

122
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.120
Yeah, exactly, because like I said, there's you know, when

123
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.879
you get to heaven, there's no fussing or fighting. You

124
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.160
are in the midst of truth, right, You're surrounding your

125
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:24.399
bait and truth. It's like, oh my goodness, you know, well,

126
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:25.279
how did I miss this?

127
00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:25.680
You know?

128
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.399
And all those things that are attached to our humanness

129
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.839
will fade away, thank God, because of God's glory. And

130
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.680
can't wait, right because all this fussing that we do

131
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.000
right now, what a waste of time and energy and

132
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.319
humanity and a degradation of God's Creation's that's what makes

133
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.879
me sad is I see these kids today that they're

134
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.639
wasting precious time, George.

135
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:50.879
Well, it's true now, Bill.

136
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:53.399
Last night I turned in the final manuscript for my

137
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.120
next book, and it looks at what we call those

138
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.519
seven cornerstones of the Biblical worldview, kind of breaks them

139
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.720
down into talk about what can you do to really

140
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:04.639
embrace this. And one of the things that struck me

141
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.360
after going through the entire manuscript re editing it is,

142
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.639
you know, we put so much energy into so many

143
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.519
things that don't matter at all, and if we just

144
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.879
realize that the only reason we're here is to no

145
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:22.240
love and serve God with all our heart, mind, strength,

146
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.480
and soul every moment of every day. And if we

147
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.920
simply did that, and I'm not trying to be naive,

148
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:28.800
I know they're going to.

149
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.560
Be the troubles of the world. We're in a spiritual war.

150
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.560
I get all that, But sometimes we lose sight of

151
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.680
the big picture, which is that ultimately we were.

152
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:40.279
Made by God for Him.

153
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:45.199
Ultimately, if we confess our sins repent except Christ as

154
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.639
our savior, we're going to return to Him and enjoy

155
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.720
Him and that's all that's going to matter. So all

156
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:55.920
this other stuff that's driving us nuts every day, right,

157
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.240
We're not going to Remember, we're not going to care

158
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.519
about and it's not going to matter. So let's get

159
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:04.079
a jump on it and say, hey, you know what,

160
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.560
let me figure out it doesn't matter now and just

161
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.079
start focusing on the glory of God and doing things

162
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.800
that will bring honor and pleasure to Him and He's

163
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:16.399
going to bless me for that, and everybody's going to

164
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:16.879
be happy.

165
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.240
Well exactly, And George, the thing is is that even

166
00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:23.480
on an individual basis, it is the peace of God

167
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.519
that surpasses all understanding that you now you get the

168
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:31.519
key and you get to open the lock to God's

169
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.759
peace when you do that, right.

170
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

171
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:39.759
And so it's really an issue of priorities. What matters

172
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:41.840
most to me? I think sometimes when I get all

173
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:45.840
wound up in my daily travails, the issue is that

174
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:51.279
I have prioritized the things that seem important in this

175
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.399
life rather than prioritizing the things that are important to God.

176
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.480
And so if I'm really going to be a disciple

177
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.799
of Jesus, I need to have the mind of Christ

178
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.879
and I need to do everything that pursues and strengthens

179
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:08.200
that Jesus didn't get caught up and all that stuff,

180
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:11.000
you know, he went along every day, he dealt with

181
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:14.200
the day as it came to him. But somehow he

182
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:19.279
maintained that focus on heavenly and internal things. And that's

183
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.600
what each of us who's trying to be a disciple

184
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.320
of Jesus needs to keep in mind. I've got to

185
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.080
have that same focus that Jesus had. He told us

186
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.840
it's possible to do. He told us it's not easy

187
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.919
to do. We know that Satan doesn't want us to

188
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.840
do it, so we're going to make our choices appropriately.

189
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.159
Exactly, got to go to quick break. More from doctor

190
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:41.519
George after this.

191
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.200
This report is sponsored by IBM. As the pace of

192
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.720
AI accelerates, CEOs are rethinking how their leadership teams operate,

193
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:54.399
how decisions are made, and how organizations are structured. IBM's

194
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.879
annual CEO study shows that adopting new tools is no

195
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.639
longer enough. Leaders are actively redesigning decision making structures, clarifying accountability,

196
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.720
and reshaping the c suite to drive greater business impact.

197
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.679
The study found that seventy six percent of organizations now

198
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.720
have a chief AI officer, up from twenty six percent

199
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:16.600
a year ago, and nearly two thirds of CEOs say

200
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.759
they are comfortable using AI to help inform major strategic decisions.

201
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.279
The study also showed that organizations with an AI first

202
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.759
leadership approach are scaling more AI initiatives than their peers.

203
00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:31.200
The message is clear, success with AI depends not just

204
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.720
on technology, but on leadership, governance, and organizations built to adapt.

And we're back with you Bill Martinez with doctor George Varna. Yes,

273
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:19.519
the one and only and even infamous, some say, and

274
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:22.440
I second that emotion. He's the director of research at

275
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.840
Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center, the author of Raising

276
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:31.559
Spiritual Champions, and we're talking about his latest installment, gen

277
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:35.159
Z moving toward faith and away from it at the

278
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:38.519
same time. It's interesting, you know, and I think it's

279
00:14:39.159 --> 00:14:41.840
endemic of the human experience. You get that push pull

280
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.960
kind of dynamic going on. By the way, this is

281
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.240
the third report in the twenty twenty six America's Worldview Inventory,

282
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.600
which is I guess going to lead to your new

283
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.960
book soon to be coming out. You know that again

284
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:57.519
is going to remind us of all these things that

285
00:14:57.559 --> 00:15:00.559
you've learned. I mean, George, this has been you know,

286
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:03.120
decades of work in research and in fact, I was

287
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.799
just bragging about you to a friend this morning. You know,

288
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:07.000
he said, what are you going to do? I go, well,

289
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:09.440
I got an interview with doctor George Barnet, and I go.

290
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.320
He's just become such a dear friend and he's helped

291
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:15.039
me so much because when I came out of Bible College,

292
00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:17.639
you know, the idea of a biblical worldview, he was

293
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:20.720
the only one that was talking about it, and it

294
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.080
just it just really wrung with me. It just it's

295
00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.159
just so connected in my heart. And it also was

296
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.039
confirmed when God said, hey, I want you to talk

297
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:30.799
about that. I want you to talk about my truth

298
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.960
and I want you to talk about biblical worldview. And

299
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:36.000
look what happens. He puts us two knuckleheads together and

300
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.480
we've been joining at the hip ever since. And you know,

301
00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:41.879
and we've and we almost made it to the FBI's

302
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:43.559
you know, most wanted.

303
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.720
Well, you know, Heaven's getting a knucklehead sandwich today, I'll

304
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:47.320
tell you that.

305
00:15:47.440 --> 00:15:49.360
But you know it's.

306
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.360
Interesting, yeah, because when I think back about biblical worldview,

307
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:54.519
you say I was the only one talking about Well,

308
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:57.240
when I came to christ after a couple of years

309
00:15:57.279 --> 00:16:00.720
working in the research industry, I was hired by Christian

310
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.440
Ministry to do research for them, and so I built

311
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.120
up their department doing that and marketing and whatnot. And

312
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.759
when I came into the organization, they had meetings with

313
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:15.039
me for a couple of weeks and they pretty quickly

314
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.440
realized this guy doesn't know anything, and so they sent

315
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:19.080
me back.

316
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.759
To Washington, d C.

317
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:24.360
Where the National Religious Broadcasters annual event was their convention.

318
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.360
This was back in nineteen eighty two, I mean eons ago,

319
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:32.679
and I didn't know anybody in the Christian world because

320
00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:35.679
I was a new Christian, didn't know the lingo, didn't

321
00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:38.799
know squat, and so I said, well, I guess I

322
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:42.399
should go to the keynote sessions. Well, the keynote sessions

323
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:49.360
were Chuck Colson, Charles Stanley, and Francis Schaeffer. It's like,

324
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:55.080
you know, the pantheon of living worldview Biblical worldview thinkers,

325
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.639
and they all talked about biblical worldview, which is a

326
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:01.960
phrase I'd never even heard, and so I was just

327
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:05.240
stunned and overwhelmed by what they did. And the last

328
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:09.119
session was doctor Schaeffer's session, and on the way out,

329
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:13.440
his publisher, Crossway Books, gave everybody a free copy of

330
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:16.799
his new book at that time, called a Christian Manifesto.

331
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.839
And I stayed up till two or.

332
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.279
Three that morning reading that whole book, and then woke

333
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:24.839
up the next morning started rereading it because I didn't

334
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.839
understand half of it, you know, But I mean that

335
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.799
was for me what got me on that trail. So

336
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.440
you know, we always stand on the shoulder of giants

337
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.519
who came before us, as they did as well, you know.

338
00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:41.400
So if I have the ability to open anybody's eyes

339
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.960
and ears and heart to this notion of biblical worldview,

340
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.079
which simply means he got to think like Jesus so

341
00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.240
that you can live like Jesus, which is what being

342
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:54.440
a disciple is. And that's what we're called to do

343
00:17:54.480 --> 00:17:57.079
while we're on earth. So I mean, it's one big

344
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:01.559
circle that we're trying to move people in too. But yeah,

345
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.799
I mean, what a what a great introduction I had

346
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.440
to the whole process. And I hope people get to

347
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:10.920
read their works as well, because there's so seminole. Chuck

348
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:15.640
Colson wrote great books about worldview. Francis Schaeffer wrote eye opening,

349
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:19.839
you know, mind blowing stuff about worldview. And I'm like

350
00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.480
a pop worldview guy, you know, I take it and

351
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.160
bring it down to the what was branches because that's

352
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.079
all I can understand. But you know, I mean, we've

353
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.759
all got to get in the entry somehow and then

354
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:34.079
start making progress down that pathway to thinking like Jesus.

355
00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:38.559
Well, as you said, thinking and being like Jesus, and

356
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.519
as you were saying earlier to me, the thing that

357
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:45.599
consistently sticks out is that the first thing Jesus did,

358
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.680
it's always first things, right, you got it starts with

359
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.519
first things. What was the first thing that Jesus did?

360
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.200
Right?

361
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.039
Yeah, for sure, I mean you know he starts, well,

362
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.160
first the first thing he did. I'm not sure what

363
00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:01.759
you were going to say. What I would say is,

364
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:06.359
once he got into ministry, he started building relationships, right,

365
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:09.799
you know, because if you're going to make disciples, they've

366
00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.000
got to know you. They've got to trust you, they've

367
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.480
got to spend time with you. That's what relationships are about,

368
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.200
you know. And then he started engaging in showing them

369
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:23.200
a different lifestyle. Now they're intrigued, and so then they

370
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.480
start asking questions. Then you have the conversations and he

371
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:30.440
has the opportunity to start teaching them. He didn't just

372
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.400
jump in and say all right, here's truth. No, I mean,

373
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.200
there was a lot of foundation that he laid before

374
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:38.039
he got into that.

375
00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.079
What I was going to say was that he got

376
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:41.200
away and prayed.

377
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.880
Firstly before he started into ministry. Yeah. Absolutely, he had

378
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.599
to have his foundation right.

379
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.799
Right, and his source was the Father. You know, the

380
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.759
Father is the source, the source of truth and the

381
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.759
one who gives us wisdom, that gives it to us,

382
00:19:59.240 --> 00:20:03.359
you know, without any sense of rejection and compromise. You know,

383
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.160
if we ask for it, he'll give it to us.

384
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:08.640
But you see, we're not asking. And I think that's

385
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:12.400
one of the other challenges that we have. We you know,

386
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.519
in the process of building a relationship not only as

387
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:18.799
you say, horizontally, but we have to build the relationship

388
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.599
vertically with God. And when you as you do, then

389
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:23.799
you get to ask some of these questions that probably

390
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:25.240
here to before you thought, oh my God, if I

391
00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.559
asked that question, he's going to kill me.

392
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.000
You know, absolutely, you know.

393
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:31.000
And one of the things that I think we learn

394
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:35.079
over the course of time and experience is that, you know,

395
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:37.920
we we think we're pretty together, we're pretty good, you know,

396
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:42.400
we're doing fine. But with time and experience with God

397
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:45.440
and in His word, what you come to see is

398
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:50.440
that I have no power. Accept that which God gives me.

399
00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:54.680
I have no wisdom, accept that which God gives me.

400
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.880
And what he gives me he didn't give to me

401
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.400
for me. He gave it to me so I could

402
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:05.519
be a blessing to other people. And principle, So yeah,

403
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:07.720
I mean, the deeper we get into this, and you

404
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:10.039
don't have to go too deep to realize those things.

405
00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:13.119
But the deeper and deeper you go, the more you realize, Yeah,

406
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:16.200
it's not about me. I'm just a conduit. I'm a

407
00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:21.200
vessel that God wants to use to impact the lives

408
00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:24.279
of other people, just like other people allowed him to

409
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:27.200
use them so that I could come to him. So

410
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:30.480
that's how the family of God grows.

411
00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:32.200
Right, George, George, I got to tell you. There were

412
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:35.359
several surprises in this latest report. One of them that

413
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:38.119
got my attention right away was this five point increase

414
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.359
in weekly church attendance since May of twenty twenty five,

415
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:45.319
alongside an eighteen point increase in the belief that Jesus

416
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:49.119
Christ sinned while on earth. Who told them that.

417
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.839
Well, I'm not sure they're actually listening, or maybe they're

418
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:58.559
going to the wrong places. But I mean, there's this

419
00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:03.680
whole thing where people walk into the church with a

420
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.119
full slate of religious beliefs. It's not like they're coming

421
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:12.880
in in a vacuum or as a blank slate. That

422
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:17.119
slate has already been written all over. And so if

423
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:20.799
they come to church, often what happens, we found is

424
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:25.079
they're looking for confirmation for what they already believed. And

425
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.960
if they don't hear anything about what they already believed,

426
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:30.480
they just keep on believing what they were believing, right,

427
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.920
And so they walk into the church with these kinds

428
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.599
of beliefs. You know, at the same time that there

429
00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:39.680
was an eighteen point increase in thinking Jesus and there

430
00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:41.920
was an eighteen point increase in thinking there's no such

431
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:46.960
thing as absolute moral truth. You know, a fifteen point

432
00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:50.119
increase in thinking I have to earn my way into

433
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.920
heaven if it exists and if I'm going to go there.

434
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:56.319
So there's a lot of garbage that people walk into

435
00:22:56.359 --> 00:23:01.039
the church believing and thinking that the guy up front

436
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:06.319
behind the podium is magically going to attack and persuade

437
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:11.440
these people to think differently is not a good probability.

438
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:15.039
And that's why each of us building relationships with these

439
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.839
people coming in is so critical because we can talk

440
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:20.640
to them about what they believe, find it out, and

441
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:23.720
dig deeper into it with them, and then we have

442
00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:27.720
the opportunity to bring the change into their belief system

443
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.480
that they so desperately need.

444
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:31.759
Well, Doctor George, as we wrap things up on to

445
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:34.480
remind everybody, he's the director of research at Arizona Christian

446
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:39.000
Universities Cultural Research Center, author of Brazing Spiritual Champions, new book.

447
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:41.039
When's the new book coming out.

448
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.000
Middle to end of June. It's called how to Think

449
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:44.680
Like Jesus.

450
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.799
Wow, I love it. I cannot wait. Well again, as

451
00:23:48.839 --> 00:23:53.119
we wrap things up from this research, what's the key

452
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:55.440
takeaway that you want our audience to get.

453
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:00.559
Don't even worry about whether or not revivals happening. Want

454
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:04.799
to be part of revival happening in America. And in

455
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:07.559
order to do that, don't look for it elsewhere and

456
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.759
applaud it as it goes on. You be part of

457
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:15.640
that revival, impetus that needs to have feet on the

458
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:18.960
ground here in America. Find the people in your circle

459
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:23.279
who don't know Jesus, show them Jesus by how you live,

460
00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:26.839
and then explain Jesus to them through your conversations.

461
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:27.920
I love that.

462
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:32.279
Go be the revival. What a call. It's just like

463
00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.039
Jesus as he was leaving Earth. He gave us a

464
00:24:35.079 --> 00:24:37.640
clear commandment. George Barnet, He's not leaving earth, but he

465
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:41.920
tells us clearly, go be the revival. Thank you, Thanks

466
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:44.359
Bill Love you take take care of my friend, all right.

Well we're back with you, Bill Martinez here along with

doctor John Zimeric. Hey, doctor John, how are we doing.

534
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:29.440
I'm doing wild, Bill, It's been it's been a really

535
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:30.519
eventful week.

536
00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.920
Well, I know a lot going on, and we want

537
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.359
to talk about your old boss, Reverend James Robins. I'm

538
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:39.559
I'm very sad to hear of his passing, and I

539
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:41.000
know he meant so much to you.

540
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.400
He passed away over the this past weekend. Did did

541
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.720
you ever meet him?

542
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.039
You know, I did not, but I believe we had

543
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:51.319
a couple of occasions to interact. I didn't know him

544
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.759
certainly as well as you did, but I only heard

545
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:57.599
and my interaction with him was, uh, was such that

546
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.839
was very genuine, and I've only heard great things about him.

547
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.200
He was in his eighties. I don't know his exact age.

548
00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:11.759
James was founder of Life Outreach International, which sponsored the

549
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:14.960
Stream where I still work. For ten years, it was

550
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.079
a news and opinion website. Now it's a TV portal

551
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:23.119
for Christian programming. We're sort of becoming the Hulu for

552
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.000
Christian content, and I hope people will go check out

553
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:29.880
stream dot org or look for it on their Samsung

554
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:35.039
or Android stores. But James was a very special man

555
00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:38.400
and came from a really difficult family background. He was

556
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.039
an unwanted child of rape and can't had a really

557
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:47.880
tough childhood, felt unwanted. He found Christian faith in high

558
00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:51.759
school and became a high school evangelists and by the

559
00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.559
time he was like eighteen or nineteen, he was filling

560
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:59.720
stadiums preaching getting people who be born again. They called

561
00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:02.359
him the teenage Billy Graham, and indeed he became friends

562
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:04.680
with Billy Graham, and Billy Graham mentored him, and he

563
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:08.680
ended up mentoring one of Billy Graham's sons. And he

564
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:14.400
was packing stadiums, rolling in the people, people having conversions.

565
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:17.480
And then he decided to step away and he did

566
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:20.720
a television ministry. He started TV show Life Today, which

567
00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:25.319
is still running but now sadly without him. That preached

568
00:30:25.319 --> 00:30:29.000
the gospel and also raised funds from wonderful ministries that

569
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:33.799
Life Outreach does around the world, bringing shoes to kids

570
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.319
who don't have shoes, drilling wells in Africa where the

571
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:40.680
Christians can't get water because the Muslims control the water supply,

572
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.839
bringing Bibles to Asia, doing life saving surgeries. Anyway, it's

573
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.480
a wonderful ministry. I'm really happy to still be associated

574
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.759
with it. He passed away after a rather brief and

575
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.039
indeterminate illness. It's just like God was just decided to

576
00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:59.960
call him home. But he had a really big role

577
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:05.759
in our country's politics too. He he was the man

578
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:10.200
who suggested that the National Religious Broadcasters in nineteen eighty

579
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:14.000
invite Ronald Reagan to speak. At the time, they were

580
00:31:14.039 --> 00:31:17.839
still sort of reluctantly supporting President Jimmy Carter because he

581
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:20.640
was a Baptist Sunday school teacher who talked about being

582
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:23.880
born again, but he was running the country into the ground.

583
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:30.759
Here was this divorced actor from California. Were the evangelicals

584
00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.880
of the South going to rally behind this Hollywood figure

585
00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:39.119
with his second wife or were they going to stick

586
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:44.480
with the Bible quoting pious catastrophe that was Jimmy Carter.

587
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.839
So James suggested to Jerry Folwell and the other members

588
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:50.680
of the Christian Riot, and he was a key member

589
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:53.200
of that, that they invite Reagan, and Reagan gave a

590
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.279
famous speech where he said, I know you can't endorse me,

591
00:31:57.079 --> 00:31:58.200
but I endorse you.

592
00:31:58.920 --> 00:31:59.240
Wow.

593
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:02.519
And that was the beginning of the realignment of the

594
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:09.160
South towards same conservative politics that actually fit with the

595
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.440
Christian faith, which the Democratic Party had turned against already

596
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:17.480
by nineteen eighty and James was one of the first

597
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:20.599
evangelicals to get in a room with Donald Trump and

598
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.880
explain to him how he needed to get right on

599
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:26.519
the abortion issue, needed to focus on the social issues,

600
00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:32.240
on religious liberty, on protecting the freedom that God gives us,

601
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:35.640
the rights that come from God, not from the government.

602
00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:39.480
And in Trump's first term, he was a major influencer,

603
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:41.559
be on the phone with him all the time. And

604
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:43.799
I think a lot of the things you're seeing with

605
00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:48.400
the Trump administration, looking at the weaponization of government, the

606
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:53.920
attacks on the anti Christian bias, the Religious Liberty Advisory Panel,

607
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:56.640
James was in the background behind a lot of that.

608
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.039
I'm glad now he's with God being a reward for

609
00:33:01.200 --> 00:33:05.640
all the passionate, sincere hard work he did over the decades,

610
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.960
and we're all still processing it and mourning it over

611
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:11.000
the ministry, well.

612
00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:15.119
I can only imagine, you know, what a loss. And John,

613
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.440
you know, it's so valuable that you're here to give testimony,

614
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.279
you know, to his life because a lot of people,

615
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.480
you know, and this is the thing with the men

616
00:33:27.559 --> 00:33:30.519
of God like this, is that they're not necessarily looking

617
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.960
for the spotlight, right, you're here to serve, and they

618
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.960
do so quietly, humbly, walking with their God.

619
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:38.640
That's right.

620
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:42.720
And James really had a heart for the broken, for

621
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:46.799
the loss, for the confused, all of that without surrendering

622
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:51.440
the standard, the biblical standard that we're all called to,

623
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:55.160
the standard of holiness and that's something it's hard to

624
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:58.720
find in church. In churches, you either get fire and

625
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:02.519
brimstone and upholding the standard, but they're goading you to despair,

626
00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.640
or you get oh, everybody's welcome, we're gonna fly a

627
00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:12.440
rainbow flag and we're going to have a transgender kombucha

628
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:20.280
party after the service. That balance between justice and mercy,

629
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:25.559
between truth and forgiveness is it's really it's what makes

630
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:29.119
It's what made the church spread from a small group

631
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:34.960
of small group of scared fishermen in Palestine to create

632
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:38.840
Western civilization and make possible the United States of America.

633
00:34:39.760 --> 00:34:43.639
You see, and that that example, that standard remains with

634
00:34:43.760 --> 00:34:47.480
us today. The standard that Jesus reinforced when he came

635
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.360
is that you know, there doesn't need to be a compromise.

636
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.800
Humanity wants to compromise, but God does not compromise, and

637
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:59.840
you can be true to God and yourself and all

638
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.400
more joyful as a result of it.

639
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:06.840
That's the weird thing is that the liberal Christians who

640
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.159
are all about compromise when it comes to the issues

641
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:14.360
that they consider important, they are puritans. They are witch burners,

642
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:19.039
they are heretic hunters. You listen to Russell Moore and

643
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.679
David French and people like that. Talk about Donald Trump

644
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:26.639
and his supporters, they sound like the witch burners in

645
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:32.960
Nathaniel Hawthorne's A Scarlet Letter. See that puritan impulse has

646
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:37.079
two sides, and the dark side of it hangs over

647
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.679
even once you've lost faith in the Bible, once you

648
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:42.880
no longer take the Bible as your standard, something else

649
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:46.159
will fill that vacuum. And what bills it is The

650
00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:49.920
message of the world is the ideology that's popular at

651
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:54.079
Harvard and Google and the World Economic Forum and the

652
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:59.679
European Union and the United Nations. It is asive and aggressive, intolerant,

653
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:03.440
religon and it's post Christianity. You might call it the

654
00:36:03.519 --> 00:36:09.559
anti anti Christianity or antichrist And that is what governs

655
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.800
the secular world, and the Church is constantly swimming upstream

656
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:16.119
against it. And as we know from Salmon, if you

657
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:20.920
don't swim upstream, you just float downstream like a corpse.

658
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:26.199
Right exactly. You're carried by the inertia of the outside environment,

659
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:30.119
all because because you question whether or not God said

660
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:34.400
what he said and meant what he said right right right,

661
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:36.880
I mean, you go back to I always go back

662
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:38.639
to the garden. You know, you go back to the

663
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:42.840
beginning and you see the fall of man and nothing new.

664
00:36:43.079 --> 00:36:46.320
I mean, it's it's what's prevalent today. It's just like

665
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.119
you said, you either are for Christ or you are

666
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.519
against Christ, and there's no gray area about it. You

667
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.159
may think somehow that God's going to grade on the curve,

668
00:36:55.599 --> 00:36:58.280
but you know, God's the same yesterday, today, and forever,

669
00:36:58.599 --> 00:36:59.519
and there's no curve.

670
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:03.480
And we see that disregarding what he showed us, what

671
00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:06.639
he shows us even through our own hearts, the natural

672
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:09.760
law that's written on our hearts. Once you throw that

673
00:37:09.880 --> 00:37:14.360
natural law out, then the only criterion is who's in power?

674
00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:18.760
Yeah, yeah, yeah, who's the captain of your ship? And

675
00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:22.840
God says in the Book of Romans that he will

676
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:26.000
eventually just allow you to go ahead and make your

677
00:37:26.000 --> 00:37:28.039
own choices. You want to be the captain of your ship?

678
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.280
Hey have had it. Here's the steering.

679
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:32.199
Will good luck, and there's the iceberg.

680
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:36.079
Well, you know, in spite of that, in spite of

681
00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:39.239
them seeing the iceberg, they will still you know, had

682
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:41.960
of captain their ship right straight into the iceberg.

683
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.719
They're confident they can sail through it. Right, We're unsinkable.

684
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:49.159
We can go against human nature, we can go against

685
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:56.000
the Constitution, the Declaration, Western tradition, the truths of science, mathematics,

686
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:58.519
and logic. Nope, nope, I have to follow my dream.

687
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:01.000
I did it my way right exactly. This is what

688
00:38:01.159 --> 00:38:05.480
happens when you abandon the truth and continue to embrace

689
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.000
the lies. And sometimes I wonder, John, just people are

690
00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:12.079
just so stubborn about holding on to the lie that

691
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:16.519
they just cannot submit no matter what. Anyway, let's go

692
00:38:16.519 --> 00:38:18.280
to quick break. We'll pick it up on the other side.

693

00:38:51.800 --> 00:38:55.480
This report is sponsored by IBM. As the pace of

707
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.960
AI accelerates, CEOs are rethinking how their leadership teams operate,

708
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:04.679
how decisions are made, and how organizations are structured. IBM's

709
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.159
annual CEO study shows that adopting new tools is no

710
00:39:08.280 --> 00:39:13.920
longer enough. Leaders are actively redesigning decision making structures, clarifying accountability,

711
00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:17.000
and reshaping the C suite to drive greater business impact.

712
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:20.960
The study found that seventy six percent of organizations now

713
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:24.000
have a chief AI officer, up from twenty six percent

714
00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:26.880
a year ago, and nearly two thirds of CEOs say

715
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:31.039
they are comfortable using AI to help inform major strategic decisions.

716
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:34.559
The study also showed that organizations with an AI first

717
00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:38.039
leadership approach are scaling more AI initiatives than their peers.

718
00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.480
The message is clear, success with AI depends not just

719
00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:46.000
on technology, but on leadership, governance, and organizations built to adapt.

Hey, welcome back, Phil Martinez here with the author and

767
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:27.880
editor of Christian Nation, which is part of the Emerald

768
00:42:28.000 --> 00:42:32.000
Robinson Substack, and also he's the author of No Second Amendment,

769
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:35.239
No First, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism, and many

770
00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:38.719
other books. John is some things to talk about. You know,

771
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:42.880
what's happening right now in the primaries really critical. I

772
00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:45.440
think there's some good indicators here. But before we do this,

773
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.559
I mean, this interview is going to air on Memorial Day.

774
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:55.000
And to me, you know, when I look at it,

775
00:42:55.239 --> 00:42:59.079
being you know, a marine and having a connection of

776
00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:03.079
family connection in the military, I've always held in high

777
00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:06.559
regard this special day. To me, it's like a holy

778
00:43:06.679 --> 00:43:12.079
day because we are pausing to memorialize, to remember the

779
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:16.800
million plus American citizens who have paid the ultimate price.

780
00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:20.119
And you can add to that million the families there

781
00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:26.519
dearly associated with that sacrifice in a sense, martyrdom for

782
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:27.679
the sake of freedom.

783
00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:33.440
And one piece of happy news coming out around Memorial

784
00:43:33.519 --> 00:43:37.000
Day is that Tina Peters, a gold Star mother who

785
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:41.000
has been unjustly imprisoned for years for trying to do

786
00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:43.760
her job as an election official and preserve evidence of

787
00:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.880
election fraud in the twenty twenty race in Colorado. The

788
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:51.239
election officials who were doing the fraud got her throne

789
00:43:51.280 --> 00:43:54.400
in prison and a bias judge gave her an outrageous

790
00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:58.639
sentence for a misdemeanor, and she was rotting in prison,

791
00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:02.519
getting assaulted by fellow prisoners, not being protected, in bad health.

792
00:44:04.679 --> 00:44:08.280
She's finally thanks to the actions of the Democrat Governor

793
00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:11.039
of Colorado, Jared Poulos. We need to be grateful to him,

794
00:44:11.320 --> 00:44:14.679
and the pressure from the Trump administration. She's finally her

795
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.719
sentence is being commuted, and she's going to be free

796
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:21.559
by June first, if she's not free already. And this

797
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:24.360
was a great miscarriage of justice, one of the many

798
00:44:24.559 --> 00:44:28.559
associated with the twenty twenty election fraud, which, in order

799
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:34.400
to cover up a theft this enormous, this strategic, this decisive,

800
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.840
they were willing to do anything. The law Fair that's

801
00:44:38.880 --> 00:44:42.760
still being waged against people like John Eastman, against.

802
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:44.760
Anyone who's been disbarred, is disgusting.

803
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.920
Right, My friend Sidney Powell is still fighting off Lawfair

804
00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:56.400
because the system is designed to punish dissent. Lawyers who

805
00:44:56.480 --> 00:44:59.639
represented Donald Trump are getting disbarred for doing their job

806
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:03.360
of rep resenting their clients zealously. Because the bar associations

807
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:08.639
have been politicized, the left has recreated in American institutions.

808
00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:13.320
What used to exist in the Soviet Union, not under Stalin,

809
00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:18.119
but under Brezhnev. You know, they weren't gulag camps there.

810
00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:22.719
There weren't mass famines. What there was was a system

811
00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:29.559
of systematically destroying the lives of anyone who dissents, making

812
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:35.079
you utterly miserable, in order to create a self censorship,

813
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:40.800
in order to create internalized fear of the system. And

814
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:45.559
so the system, however corrupt, however sclerotic and incompetent it was,

815
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.679
it still shuffled along like a zombie because anyone who

816
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:52.519
raised his head to try to resist it would get

817
00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:56.559
stomped on. And that was the model that the Democrats

818
00:45:56.880 --> 00:46:00.440
were implementing across the country, and still exists in Blues states.

819
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.719
And you see the results in states like California and

820
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:07.679
Oregon and Washington where the cities are becoming unlivable. And

821
00:46:07.760 --> 00:46:10.159
what are they doing. They're doing something the Soviets have

822
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:14.440
ever thought of, importing millions of third world immigrants to

823
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:21.360
serve as a fraudulent voting base and warm bodies for

824
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:25.840
riots when necessary, in order again to intimidate and replace

825
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:31.360
the native population with compliant, obedient clients. Surfs peasants.

826
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:35.360
You know, the thing that's so pathetic about this John

827
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:40.960
is that they've rendered themselves stupid. The left has because

828
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:44.280
when you don't allow dissent, you've got, you know, so

829
00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:47.119
much commonality. You know. It's the old saying that says,

830
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:49.199
when you have two people in the same room with

831
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.159
the same thought and the same expression, one is redundant

832
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:55.719
and unnecessary. Well, there's lots of unnecessary people, and there's

833
00:46:55.719 --> 00:46:58.840
a waste of intellect in the process. They've all been

834
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:02.559
dumbed down. And my prayer for them is that they

835
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:08.679
would wake up and reapprehend their god given right and intellect,

836
00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:13.960
because we don't need them rendered stupid, we need intellect.

837
00:47:14.000 --> 00:47:14.360
Go ahead.

838
00:47:14.599 --> 00:47:17.599
A lot of the Brendan Straka started this movement walk Away,

839
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:21.320
getting people to just give up on the Democratic Party

840
00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.920
because it is in a death spiral and it has

841
00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:27.760
dumbed itself down. Now they have to pretend there are

842
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:31.360
forty seven genders. They have to pretend that men can

843
00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:32.000
be pregnant.

844
00:47:33.719 --> 00:47:34.199
They have to.

845
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:40.960
Basically, it's become a really superstitious, intolerant, irrational religion and

846
00:47:41.000 --> 00:47:43.639
it's hell. The only thing that holds it together is

847
00:47:43.679 --> 00:47:48.920
the fervent, fanatical, anti rational commitment that you get in

848
00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:50.199
a religion gone wrong.

849
00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:53.480
It's the same thing in Iran. What are they holding

850
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:56.920
on too? They're in a death spiral and the leadership

851
00:47:57.000 --> 00:48:00.519
cannot let go. They're like that monkey with their hand

852
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:02.280
in the jar. You know, they got that nut in

853
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:04.559
their hand and they want to get released out of

854
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:07.360
that jar, but they dare not let go of that nut.

855
00:48:08.239 --> 00:48:08.599
Yeah.

856
00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:12.519
Yeah, So we've had some good political news this past

857
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:18.079
week in the really crucial Texas Senate race where uh

858
00:48:20.000 --> 00:48:25.760
aging discredited Rhino John Cornyn was hoping to bully Donald

859
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:31.480
Trump into endorsing him against the insurgent patriot candidate Ken Patston,

860
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:35.039
our attorney general who's done a fantastic job of defeating

861
00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:39.880
law fair and fighting radical Islam and cracking down on

862
00:48:40.440 --> 00:48:46.719
immigration fraud. John Cornyn has supported amnesty, gun control. He

863
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:51.800
called the January sixth demonstrators terrorists. He has no business

864
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:55.000
representing the state of Texas as a Republican. It'd be

865
00:48:55.119 --> 00:48:59.679
like if Ted Cruz were the Democrat senator from Massachusetts.

866
00:48:59.559 --> 00:49:03.880
It just makes absolutely no sense. But our corrupt local

867
00:49:03.960 --> 00:49:07.559
Republican Party, which is controlled by the Bush family and

868
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:12.360
Carl Rove has kept this. This is propped up, this

869
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:16.679
corpse of a senator for thirty almost.

870
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:18.199
Thirty years, exactly amazing.

871
00:49:18.280 --> 00:49:21.800
Yes, Donald Trump finally came out and endorsed Ken Paxton

872
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:26.280
and the rhinos in the Senator screaming they're threatening to

873
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.880
obstruct Trump's agenda. The problem is they've already obstructed it.

874
00:49:30.199 --> 00:49:32.840
They can't do any worse. It's like the Democrats in

875
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:35.840
the Blue States threatening to Jerrymander. Oops, we already have.

876
00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:40.280
We've already fired all our ammo. We've already thrown every

877
00:49:40.360 --> 00:49:43.440
piece of unfairness we can at the wall to see

878
00:49:43.440 --> 00:49:47.199
what would stick. So now I think Ken Paxton is

879
00:49:47.239 --> 00:49:50.119
going to be the next Republican senator, the next Republican

880
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:51.119
senator from Texas.

881
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:55.239
Another piece of wait, hang on one second, just on Paxton. Less.

882
00:49:55.239 --> 00:50:00.760
People forget huge historic settlement with the A. Tchech Children's

883
00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.239
Hospital that right right, that.

884
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:07.639
Is the hospital that was sexually mutilized, mutilating and sterilizing

885
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:12.079
children and trying to imprison its critics, trying to send

886
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:16.119
them to federal prison for being whistleblowers. And they have

887
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:19.199
been forced a cave to stop mutilating children and to

888
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:22.639
start the first detransitioning clinic in order to try to

889
00:50:22.719 --> 00:50:25.360
undo some of the harm that they did on these

890
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:31.679
four confused children with misguided parents and criminally malpractic practice

891
00:50:31.679 --> 00:50:34.599
malpracticing psychologists.

892
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:36.760
And Paxton led the way. I mean, this is this

893
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:39.480
is the first time, this is historic, this has been

894
00:50:39.559 --> 00:50:43.440
going on, and this Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton,

895
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:47.440
goes after them, gets this incredible award. You know, they're

896
00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:51.679
going to pay ten million dollars for fraudulently billing Texas medicaid.

897
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:55.559
You know, I mean, where's where's all these other governors

898
00:50:55.559 --> 00:50:58.800
and everything? Where where's you know, where's Governor Waltz, Where's Newsome?

899
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:01.000
Are they doing anything about medicaid fraud?

900
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:01.559
No?

901
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:05.400
But here's paston in Texas. He gets this big victory

902
00:51:05.440 --> 00:51:07.920
and not only gets them to stop doing it, they

903
00:51:08.000 --> 00:51:12.760
also have to start to do a detransition clinic as well.

904
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:16.079
Right right, right, So yeah, this is the kind of

905
00:51:16.119 --> 00:51:19.800
conservative leader we need. He'll meet somebody who sits on

906
00:51:19.840 --> 00:51:23.039
his haunches and gets in the hot tub with the

907
00:51:23.039 --> 00:51:26.960
Democrats and signs off on things that most Texans would

908
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:30.079
be appalled at if they knew about it. So that's

909
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:34.440
a hopeful thing. I'm glad that Thomas Massey was defeated

910
00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:37.960
in his primary. He's been really good on a number

911
00:51:38.000 --> 00:51:41.119
of issues over the years, but he also turned himself

912
00:51:41.119 --> 00:51:46.480
into kind of a grand standing, self serving zealot who

913
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:51.400
seemed to be more about the clicks, more about engaging

914
00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:54.679
on social media, and he started mixing with some really

915
00:51:54.760 --> 00:51:59.079
dark people, Holocaust revisionists for real, anti Semites, not just

916
00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:03.800
people like me who are skeptical of foreign wars and

917
00:52:03.960 --> 00:52:07.800
skeptical of the US getting directly involved in the Middle East.

918
00:52:07.800 --> 00:52:11.639
But Nassy was going beyond that. He was getting people

919
00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:15.239
from Pakistan and Turkey piling on behind him. He was

920
00:52:15.239 --> 00:52:21.280
getting money from Palestinians. In his concession speech, he said

921
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:24.480
that he couldn't contact his opponent who'd defeated him, because

922
00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:26.760
he was in Tel Aviv. I mean, this is ugly,

923
00:52:27.000 --> 00:52:30.360
dark stuff that has no place in American politics. So

924
00:52:31.159 --> 00:52:34.920
I'm just as glad that Nassi can now go fulfill

925
00:52:35.000 --> 00:52:38.119
his dream of being an anti Semitic podcaster full time.

926
00:52:38.880 --> 00:52:41.719
Maybe he and Candae Owen can do a show together,

927
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:46.440
or maybe he and Tucker Carlson and they can broadcast

928
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:50.320
to their mostly Pakistani audience and serve their donors from

929
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:54.559
cutter and just get out of the way of making

930
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:55.639
America great again.

931
00:52:56.079 --> 00:52:59.039
Well, you know, perhaps we have a movement here of

932
00:53:00.159 --> 00:53:05.760
you know, rhino disposal, you know, to where they're finally,

933
00:53:06.199 --> 00:53:08.960
you know, these rhinos might really be shaking a bit

934
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.239
in realizing that Donald Trump has a lot of influence here.

935
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:13.840
Yeah.

936
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:17.239
Look, Ratzenberger, that terrible secretary.

937
00:53:16.760 --> 00:53:19.000
Is exactly George.

938
00:53:18.360 --> 00:53:21.119
Who helped the elections steal in twenty twenty and tried

939
00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:24.960
to prosecute his critics. He came in third. Yeah, in

940
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:29.559
his quest to become governor of Georgia. Trump's endorsements, which

941
00:53:29.599 --> 00:53:33.800
aren't always good. Sometimes he endorses rhinos and it's inexplicable

942
00:53:33.800 --> 00:53:36.679
to me, but his endorsements prove pretty powerful in this

943
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:41.440
election cycle. Voting is still going on for the Texas

944
00:53:41.559 --> 00:53:44.480
Senate race, So if you're in Texas and you're a Republican,

945
00:53:44.559 --> 00:53:47.639
please get out there and vote for Ken Paxton. We've

946
00:53:47.679 --> 00:53:52.079
not yet sealed the deal, but it's really important that

947
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:56.719
the Republican Party be reshaped in the image not of

948
00:53:56.760 --> 00:53:59.920
Donald Trump personally, but of his supporters.

949
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:04.280
And the ideal of America First. John. You know, I

950
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:07.960
think that is key common sense and America First. This

951
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:11.880
is the championing call that Donald Trump has been leading, and.

952
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:16.599
We need to realize America First doesn't mean national selfishness,

953
00:54:16.639 --> 00:54:21.320
it's national humility. We have to fix America's problems first.

954
00:54:21.679 --> 00:54:25.679
We have to look out for American, our American neighbors

955
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:29.760
who are hurting first, before we try to be the

956
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:34.320
global hedgemon running an empire, imposing our values around the world.

957
00:54:35.000 --> 00:54:38.880
While our airports aren't secure, our highways are crumbling, our

958
00:54:38.920 --> 00:54:43.360
cities are full of meth addicted schizophrenics who are being

959
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:47.440
who are untreated, who are pushing people onto subway tracks

960
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:53.039
and assaulting them and dying of meth addiction and fentyl addiction.

961
00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.119
It's it's I used to say, you want change, start

962
00:54:57.159 --> 00:55:03.519
with your underwear, and the Democrats are walking around in

963
00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:09.000
filthy underwear telling giving everyone else health safety and hygiene

964
00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:12.559
and grooming tips. And that was America under Joe Biden.

965
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:21.440
Open borders, social media censorship, masking lockdowns, taking children away

966
00:55:21.440 --> 00:55:24.079
from their parents if they don't approve of the school

967
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:28.840
psychologists plan to transition them to the opposite sex. It

968
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:32.360
was America under Biden, as it would have been worse

969
00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:36.079
under Harris It was like something from a right wing

970
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:41.079
apocalyptic novel written in the nineteen nineties by a guy

971
00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:44.559
in a trailer park typing single space in his double wide,

972
00:55:44.960 --> 00:55:47.679
about the crazy leftists and all the things they would

973
00:55:47.679 --> 00:55:50.719
do if they could get away with it. I really

974
00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:54.000
feels like we're living through a novel like that rather

975
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:59.440
than the real world. The Democrats have become. They're beyond parody.

976
00:56:00.039 --> 00:56:02.400
I write satire, They've put me out of business. I

977
00:56:02.400 --> 00:56:05.840
can't write satire now because it's outpaced by.

978
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:06.480
The news cycle.

979
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:09.480
Right I can't come up with something so crazy that

980
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:12.360
the Democrats haven't already tried it and aren't planning to

981
00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:14.079
do it if they ever get power again.

982
00:56:14.320 --> 00:56:18.480
You see, this is what happens when satire clashes with reality.

983
00:56:18.920 --> 00:56:22.159
Wife imitates parent. Wife, Stop for a minute, ago, wait

984
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:25.199
a minute. You know something's wrong here. We got to

985
00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:27.880
leave it there. John Zameric the author of No Second Amendment,

986
00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:30.599

Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez live, Hey.

1009

Good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here along

with Selwyn Duke. He's the writer for The New American

and many other magazines and publications because he's just that

1013
00:57:59.199 --> 00:58:01.880
kind of a wise and everybody wants his wisdom. Hey,

1014
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:04.280
selwen Ho. You doing well.

1015
00:58:04.320 --> 00:58:05.840
Bill, I'm doing swimmingly.

1016
00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:08.280
How are you, Hey, I'm doing terrific. Thank you so

1017
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:11.559
much here speaking in swimming, Lee, I'm back in the heat.

1018
00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:14.480
I made a West coast tour for a couple of weeks.

1019
00:58:14.480 --> 00:58:17.119
I went back to California to see the chillings and

1020
00:58:17.840 --> 00:58:21.079
to see for myself what it's like to pay two

1021
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:23.559
dollars more for a gallon of gas as opposed to

1022
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:24.760
what we're paying here at Florida.

1023
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:26.039
It's insane. Wow.

1024
00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:28.559
Well it's hot down there in Florida, I know that,

1025
00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:30.400
but the prices are a lot lower even if the

1026
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:31.400
temperature is higher.

1027
00:58:31.840 --> 00:58:35.320
Yeap, exactly. But I'll tell you, looking at California, it's

1028
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:37.920
no wonder that you've got a candidate for mayor there

1029
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:42.840
that's getting a lot of traction because and he's just appealing,

1030
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:47.280
you know, to the practical, common sense pain that Los

1031
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:51.239
Angelinos have been enduring under Karen Bass and that leadership.

1032
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:52.800
Yeah.

1033
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:55.920
Yeah, well absolutely, there's no doubt about it. And the

1034
00:58:56.000 --> 00:58:59.119
question is can he win with all the vote fraud

1035
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:03.079
that they have normalized in California. But they definitely have

1036
00:59:03.159 --> 00:59:05.719
to do something about their current system. I mean, Larry

1037
00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:08.119
Elder put it very well. He ran for the governor

1038
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:09.960
out there, and they should have voted him in. But

1039
00:59:10.000 --> 00:59:13.840
he said, until Californians start hating bad policy more than

1040
00:59:13.880 --> 00:59:15.880
they hate Republicans, nothing's going to change.

1041
00:59:16.119 --> 00:59:19.559
Well exactly. And I know, speaking of voter fraud, if

1042
00:59:19.559 --> 00:59:21.800
you heard the story about the gal, she's been doing

1043
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:24.599
this for twenty years, she's going out. I mean, this

1044
00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:25.400
is probably why.

1045
00:59:25.639 --> 00:59:26.000
You know, you.

1046
00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:31.039
Got a seventy thousand voter base of homeless people run around, right,

1047
00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:36.880
and you know, you think about this metaphor here in Minneapolis,

1048
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:41.719
you got eighty thousand Somalis as a voting block, controlling

1049
00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:47.320
the entire state right of Minnesota. Now you've got this

1050
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:51.719
woman for twenty years has built up this you know,

1051
00:59:51.760 --> 00:59:54.159
this side hustle. I think it's a serious side hustle

1052
00:59:54.440 --> 01:00:00.280
where she is ballad harvesting from homeless people. Well, and

1053
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.559
of course, in order to register to vote, you must

1054
01:00:03.559 --> 01:00:06.039
have an address. Well, this woman knew that, so she

1055
01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:09.079
used her own address for all these homeless people. So

1056
01:00:09.159 --> 01:00:11.840
you had thousands of people living had this one address.

1057
01:00:12.159 --> 01:00:14.599
They finally caught up with her, but for twenty years,

1058
01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:17.880
you think how much money did she make number one

1059
01:00:18.159 --> 01:00:22.880
number two. This is probably just like in Minnesota, is

1060
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:27.320
off operating like a franchise. How many other franchisees are

1061
01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.000
operating in the state of California.

1062
01:00:31.159 --> 01:00:33.719
Yeah, well, look, it's unbelievable. First of all, there has

1063
01:00:33.760 --> 01:00:36.400
to be harsh punishment for this kind of behavior because

1064
01:00:36.639 --> 01:00:40.079
this undermines the fabric of the republic. I mean, vote

1065
01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:43.119
fraud is something that is very, very destructive because it

1066
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:45.960
undermines people's confidence in the system. If it were up

1067
01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:48.239
to me, people guilty of something like that would be

1068
01:00:48.239 --> 01:00:50.679
doing at least ten years hard labor. But I have

1069
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:52.760
to tell you something else, Bill, I've been reporting on

1070
01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.639
this for decades. As you may know, the Democrats have

1071
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:58.599
vote fraud down to a science. I call it winning

1072
01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:02.000
elections by a thousand cuts. They have so many different

1073
01:01:02.039 --> 01:01:04.159
ways of doing it. You know, I quoted this on

1074
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:08.079
your show before. But there was that Democrat operative Scott Foevol,

1075
01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:10.719
who was caught on hidden video by Project Veritas in

1076
01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:14.480
twenty sixteen and he said, quote, we've been bussing people

1077
01:01:14.519 --> 01:01:16.599
in to deal with you mf ers. He used the

1078
01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.519
word fifty years, and we're not going to stop now.

1079
01:01:19.639 --> 01:01:22.840
And that's just one example. I mean it is staggering

1080
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:23.760
the magnitude of.

1081
01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:27.880
It, right exactly, and again same thing. You know, one example,

1082
01:01:27.920 --> 01:01:30.679
and people will go, oh, you know the left will say,

1083
01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:33.880
well that's just one example. Well okay, you really want

1084
01:01:33.920 --> 01:01:36.639
to go deep on this. I mean you you are

1085
01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:40.840
the same people that even the former Attorney General Eric

1086
01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:43.280
Holder who said, oh, there's no such thing as voter

1087
01:01:43.360 --> 01:01:46.119
frond I go please, I mean, you're an attorney general

1088
01:01:46.159 --> 01:01:48.599
and you make such a ridiculous statement when people are

1089
01:01:48.599 --> 01:01:51.599
being arrested and they are in jail for voter fraud

1090
01:01:51.800 --> 01:01:54.840
and you're saying voter prod doesn't exist. Give me a break.

1091
01:01:56.119 --> 01:01:58.559
Yeah, well, he would say that because it benefits the

1092
01:01:58.599 --> 01:02:01.760
Democrats almost six exclusively. That's the truth. And by the way,

1093
01:02:01.880 --> 01:02:04.719
I want to mention something else, this character again a Democrat,

1094
01:02:04.719 --> 01:02:07.800
fauv All said. He said, quote, there's more of an

1095
01:02:07.840 --> 01:02:11.159
adherence to the rules on the other side, except at

1096
01:02:11.159 --> 01:02:14.639
the highest level. So he himself was saying he knew

1097
01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:18.320
his fellow Democrats and himself were sleeve bags, but they

1098
01:02:18.360 --> 01:02:21.119
were basically maybe he's a sociopath. I don't know, so

1099
01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:24.480
he really doesn't care. Just the end justifies the means.

1100
01:02:24.559 --> 01:02:30.000
But it's absolutely staggering. Again, so many ways of stealing elections.

1101
01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:35.039
There's ballot harvesting, there's destroying Republican votes. You know, I

1102
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.519
found out at one point that sometimes these Democrat operatives

1103
01:02:38.920 --> 01:02:42.159
work with postal workers who are sympathetic to them within

1104
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:44.679
the system, and they'll throw out ballots that come from

1105
01:02:44.719 --> 01:02:48.960
Republican areas. You know, there's these mail in ballots. These

1106
01:02:49.039 --> 01:02:53.039
ballots really are conducive to facilitating vote fraud. I mean,

1107
01:02:53.079 --> 01:02:55.719
in August of twenty twenty, it was I think it

1108
01:02:55.800 --> 01:02:58.679
was The New York Post reported on this. A Democrat

1109
01:02:58.760 --> 01:03:01.800
operative spoke to them under the condition of anonymity, and

1110
01:03:01.840 --> 01:03:04.519
he said he had been running a group for many,

1111
01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:07.639
many years that had been perpetrating mail in vote fraud,

1112
01:03:07.920 --> 01:03:10.719
and he said that it was severe enough to swing

1113
01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:13.760
elections in close states. And this, by the way, was

1114
01:03:13.840 --> 01:03:18.280
before the COVID nonsense, which changed everything and made mail

1115
01:03:18.360 --> 01:03:21.599
in balloting even more pervasive, even more extensive.

1116
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:24.800
You know, there are some things I guess we can

1117
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:27.559
take away that you might say in a weird way

1118
01:03:27.599 --> 01:03:31.360
that we're thankful for COVID, because COVID did expose a

1119
01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:34.719
lot of things and relevant to the you know, voting

1120
01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:37.079
and mail in voting and all the fraud that took place.

1121
01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:40.079
I mean, even to this day, Selwyn, you've got over

1122
01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:44.039
sixty percent of America believe that the twenty twenty election

1123
01:03:44.239 --> 01:03:44.880
was fraudulent.

1124
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:49.159
Right, Well, I can tell you I'm totally convinced that

1125
01:03:49.239 --> 01:03:51.000
it was. Now, maybe I can't prove that in a

1126
01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.760
court of law myself. I'm just one man. But if

1127
01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:57.800
you look at the circumstantial evidence, it's absolutely overwhelming. I mean,

1128
01:03:57.880 --> 01:04:00.760
for instance, this now is an old statistic, but there

1129
01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:05.599
were nineteen Bellweather counties where for decades the candidate who

1130
01:04:05.639 --> 01:04:10.039
won those nineteen counties always won the presidency. Well, guess

1131
01:04:10.079 --> 01:04:13.480
who won eighteen of nineteen of them? President Trump did

1132
01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:16.559
in twenty twenty. Nonetheless, he lost. Why did he lose

1133
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:19.679
that nineteenth because that was actually a county where they

1134
01:04:19.800 --> 01:04:22.559
changed the voting system. So again, fraud was a lot

1135
01:04:22.599 --> 01:04:25.119
more likely. I believe that was the situation. But I'm

1136
01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:27.079
just giving you one example. If you look at all

1137
01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:30.960
of the circumstantial evidence, it just staggering. I cannot believe

1138
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:34.719
in any way, shape or form that Biden won that legitimately.

1139
01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:38.440
Right, you see, and this speaks to the very heart

1140
01:04:38.440 --> 01:04:41.840
and soul. I know, the Democrats are always fond of saying, well,

1141
01:04:41.880 --> 01:04:44.519
the heart and soul of our democracy and that sort

1142
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:46.960
of thing. Look at the heart and soul of our

1143
01:04:47.000 --> 01:04:53.480
democracy right now is so corrosive because we've allowed this

1144
01:04:53.760 --> 01:04:57.039
fraud and deception to take place, and at every turn,

1145
01:04:57.519 --> 01:05:01.679
I mean, our governmental institution, all the three letter agencies,

1146
01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:04.199
we don't trust them any longer. We don't trust the

1147
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:07.599
systems that we're living under. Right now, we're thirty nine

1148
01:05:07.639 --> 01:05:12.239
trillion dollars in debt. Elon Musk comes into the government says,

1149
01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:14.639
I think I can find a trillion dollars of fraud

1150
01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:17.519
and waste that's just off the top, right, And as

1151
01:05:17.519 --> 01:05:20.519
soon as he started getting into it, oh my goodness,

1152
01:05:21.000 --> 01:05:23.320
I mean, they all but tarred and feathered him and

1153
01:05:23.440 --> 01:05:26.199
his stores to get him out of dodge because they

1154
01:05:26.239 --> 01:05:29.360
didn't want anybody lifting the hood of their cars and

1155
01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:32.599
looking in to see what kind of operation and engine

1156
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.519
they had operating there. Right right.

1157
01:05:35.559 --> 01:05:38.559
Well, absolutely, I reported on this not long ago, all

1158
01:05:38.639 --> 01:05:40.840
the fraud that we have in our government and how

1159
01:05:40.920 --> 01:05:44.320
much taxpayer money is absolutely wasted. Well, you know, we

1160
01:05:44.400 --> 01:05:47.760
had that nine billion dollars Somali fraud scandal in Minnesota,

1161
01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:50.800
maybe up to nine billion dollars to be precise. That's

1162
01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:53.320
just the tip of the iceberg. That's just one example.

1163
01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:56.440
I mean, I think thirty seven percent. Don't quote me

1164
01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:58.679
on that. It was a high percentage of our national

1165
01:05:58.719 --> 01:06:02.519
debt is attributable, probably to fraud. That's what studies have shown.

1166
01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:05.119
I'm not saying it's thirty seven percent, but it's way

1167
01:06:05.159 --> 01:06:08.199
more than it should be. And unfortunately, you've got a

1168
01:06:08.320 --> 01:06:11.159
lot of people feeding up this truf And I think

1169
01:06:11.199 --> 01:06:13.599
it's real slap in the face when you see foreigners

1170
01:06:13.639 --> 01:06:17.639
like Somali's do it. They come here, they're newcomers, taxpayers

1171
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:20.960
or maybe legacy Americans, and their tax money is being

1172
01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:22.480
siphoned off by these crooks.

1173
01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:27.280
It's terrible taking advantage of our hospitality and goodwill. I mean,

1174
01:06:27.360 --> 01:06:29.960
what a slap in the face. I mean, this is

1175
01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:32.480
a such an insult what they are doing and what

1176
01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:35.119
they have done and perpetrated to the American people. Just

1177
01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:36.599
go to quick break. We'll pick it up on the

1178
01:06:36.639 --> 01:06:38.639
other side. More from Selwyn after this stay with us.

1179
01:06:40.159 --> 01:06:43.840
This report is sponsored by IBM. As the pace of

1180
01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:48.400
AI accelerates, CEOs are rethinking how their leadership teams operate,

1181
01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:53.039
how decisions are made, and how organizations are structured. IBM's

1182
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:56.519
annual CEO study shows that adopting new tools is no

1183
01:06:56.639 --> 01:07:02.320
longer enough. Leaders are actively redesigning decision making structures, clarifying accountability,

1184
01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:05.440
and reshaping the C suite to drive greater business impact.

1185
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:09.320
The study found that seventy six percent of organizations now

1186
01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:12.360
have a chief AI officer, up from twenty six percent

1187
01:07:12.400 --> 01:07:15.280
a year ago, and nearly two thirds of CEOs say

1188
01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:19.440
they are comfortable using AI to help inform major strategic decisions.

1189
01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:22.880
The study also showed that organizations with an AI first

1190
01:07:23.000 --> 01:07:26.400
leadership approach are scaling more AI initiatives than their peers.

1191
01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:29.880
The message is clear, success with AI depends not just

1192
01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:34.360
on technology, but on leadership, governance, and organizations built to adapt.

eight hundred eight one seven fourteen fifty two.

1214
01:08:37.840 --> 01:08:41.680
Everything is expensive right now, gas, food, you name it.

1215
01:08:41.840 --> 01:08:45.479
You're spending more. You are making the same or less money.

1216
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:46.800
So what do you do?

1217
01:08:47.279 --> 01:08:49.439
You rack up credit card debt. That's what you do.

1218
01:08:49.960 --> 01:08:53.359
It's not your fault, it's the economy. And guess what

1219
01:08:53.920 --> 01:08:56.039

This is Don Shank with today's global update from the

1234
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:42.960
Tide Ministry, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ worldwide in

1235
01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:45.880
the languages people were born to speak. The Tides annual

1236
01:09:45.960 --> 01:09:48.800
Your Souls Their Sole's Shoe Drive takes the common phrase

1237
01:09:49.039 --> 01:09:51.399
walk a mile of their shoes and puts it into action.

1238
01:09:51.800 --> 01:09:53.359
As a global gospel.

1239
01:09:52.920 --> 01:09:56.039
Ministry, touching hearts on three contents, the Tide has observed

1240
01:09:56.079 --> 01:09:59.000
firsthand the life changing impact that a pair of shoes

1241
01:09:59.039 --> 01:10:01.239
can have. The Tide Tide is thrilled to announce that

1242
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:04.399
through this year's sho Drive, over seven thousand pairs of

1243
01:10:04.439 --> 01:10:07.800
shoes were collected these shoes will benefit micro businesses in

1244
01:10:07.880 --> 01:10:10.840
developing countries around the world, and the funds raised will

1245
01:10:10.840 --> 01:10:14.960
help finance gospel centered literacy classes in India while benefiting

1246
01:10:15.000 --> 01:10:19.079
economically and educationally disadvantage people in other countries. The shoe

1247
01:10:19.159 --> 01:10:22.239
drive also raises local awareness of what the Tide has

1248
01:10:22.239 --> 01:10:25.319

As promised, we're back with you. Selwyn Duke, the writer

1265
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:17.000
for the American Conservative American Thinker, World, Met Daily, many

1266
01:11:17.039 --> 01:11:20.399
other print and online publications. He's here with us now,

1267
01:11:20.439 --> 01:11:22.960
and I guess to put a bow on all this fraud.

1268
01:11:23.079 --> 01:11:25.119
I mean, yes, fraud's a big part of it. I

1269
01:11:25.119 --> 01:11:28.479
look at the thirty nine trillion dollars. Zen I've asked,

1270
01:11:28.600 --> 01:11:32.600
you know, the economists that I travel around, I'm in

1271
01:11:32.640 --> 01:11:35.399
their orbit. I said, okay, look at the thirty nine

1272
01:11:35.439 --> 01:11:39.279
trillion dollars. How much of that can you attach to

1273
01:11:39.399 --> 01:11:43.760
vote getting? He said, all of it, without exception. And

1274
01:11:45.119 --> 01:11:48.479
most of that has been done by one party over

1275
01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:53.680
the other. The Republicans, you know, a small fraction by comparison.

1276
01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:57.000
You know, as you mentioned earlier, the Democrats are are

1277
01:11:57.119 --> 01:12:00.439
ten degree black belts. When it comes to utilize the

1278
01:12:00.479 --> 01:12:03.560
treasury of the American people, they find a way to

1279
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:07.520
tap into it. NGOs have been a powerful new engine

1280
01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:10.479
for them. They've exercised them to such a degree that

1281
01:12:10.520 --> 01:12:13.600
they're able to, you know, put them into business and

1282
01:12:14.359 --> 01:12:17.359
get part of the big it's like a mafia operation.

1283
01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:20.359
You know, yeah, we'll help you out here. And it's

1284
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:23.560
like everything you look at and you see where people

1285
01:12:23.640 --> 01:12:25.720
you know, where big money is at, and it comes

1286
01:12:25.720 --> 01:12:29.720
from the government. Man, there's politicians attached to it, and

1287
01:12:29.840 --> 01:12:32.039
part of that money, you know, the big is going

1288
01:12:32.039 --> 01:12:33.560
to their election campaign, right.

1289
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:36.720
Well, absolutely, And I know a lot of people are

1290
01:12:36.760 --> 01:12:38.960
going to say, well, this is just partisanship. Of course

1291
01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:41.399
you're saying this because you're on the right. I would

1292
01:12:41.479 --> 01:12:44.960
remind everyone again of what I said about Scott Fovall,

1293
01:12:45.079 --> 01:12:49.720
a hardcore Democrat operative. He said that Republicans were actually

1294
01:12:49.720 --> 01:12:52.399
more honest, they were more likely to adhere to the rules.

1295
01:12:52.439 --> 01:12:54.560
So that's from the horse's mouth. And I want to

1296
01:12:54.600 --> 01:12:57.680
say something else, Bill, We were talking about that Somali

1297
01:12:57.720 --> 01:13:01.279
fraud scandal, up to nine billion dollars in Minnesota. This

1298
01:13:01.479 --> 01:13:04.720
is why culture matters too, Okay, it matters the kind

1299
01:13:04.720 --> 01:13:07.600
of people you absorb into your country. As John Adams

1300
01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:10.800
said in seventeen ninety eight or second President, our constitution

1301
01:13:11.039 --> 01:13:13.800
was made only for a moral and religious people. And

1302
01:13:13.880 --> 01:13:16.840
let me give you one example of the seriousness of this.

1303
01:13:16.920 --> 01:13:20.119
There was this writer on Substack, Carrie Stark, she wrote

1304
01:13:20.119 --> 01:13:22.239
about this. She said she used to live in Minnesota.

1305
01:13:22.319 --> 01:13:25.159
She had a Somali friend, and she said a conversation

1306
01:13:25.319 --> 01:13:28.760
she had with him really changed her perspective and quote

1307
01:13:28.760 --> 01:13:31.319
moved her to the right. She was talking to him

1308
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:35.039
about the folly and shortsightedness of lying for political gain.

1309
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:37.680
And you know what his reply was, why should I

1310
01:13:37.760 --> 01:13:41.000
care about that? They're not my tribe. Those are your rules,

1311
01:13:41.279 --> 01:13:44.800
not ours. Okay, you can't be taking people like that

1312
01:13:44.920 --> 01:13:47.760
into the country because they're not going to assimilate. They

1313
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:51.600
are here too plunder and that's the truth, to plunder.

1314
01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:54.279
And we've got to close our borders and get a

1315
01:13:54.319 --> 01:13:56.800
house in order. I don't know if you agree that's fine,

1316
01:13:56.840 --> 01:13:58.960
but if I had my d brothers, I would stop

1317
01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:03.439
all immigration right now until we were no longer Balkanized.

1318
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:03.960
Yeah.

1319
01:14:03.960 --> 01:14:06.000
When I talked to Larry Elder the other day, happen

1320
01:14:06.000 --> 01:14:07.880
to run into him when I was in Los Angeles.

1321
01:14:08.000 --> 01:14:10.520
He says, are you ready to get the Somalis out?

1322
01:14:12.039 --> 01:14:15.359
You know that's a broad brush, certainly, but you know,

1323
01:14:15.680 --> 01:14:19.720
to your point, we cannot house people that do not

1324
01:14:19.960 --> 01:14:24.119
have a moral compass. And and the other thing is

1325
01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:28.880
it's happening because it infects everybody else. You know, people think, okay,

1326
01:14:29.199 --> 01:14:32.479
why should I care? You know, you know, insider trading

1327
01:14:32.560 --> 01:14:35.600
is going on at the highest levels of government. Uh,

1328
01:14:35.720 --> 01:14:38.960
these elected officials are making millions of dollars and they're

1329
01:14:39.039 --> 01:14:41.680
cheating and gaming the system. Why are you coming after me?

1330
01:14:42.079 --> 01:14:45.760
It's like that, who was it? The one the one

1331
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:49.760
guy here recently working for the government, and he had

1332
01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:53.680
the inside information when Maduro was going to get arrested.

1333
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:53.960
Right.

1334
01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:58.880
Well, in today's you know, voting parlance, you can I'm voting,

1335
01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:02.359
I mean gambling, you can gamble on anything. And so

1336
01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:05.800
he put some money down and I think he won

1337
01:15:05.840 --> 01:15:09.119
something like four hundred thousand dollars. Lucky him. He guessed

1338
01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:12.680
when Maduro was going to get arrested, right, and they

1339
01:15:13.159 --> 01:15:16.279
found him out he was a government operative. And some

1340
01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:18.159
of the people said, why are you giving him a

1341
01:15:18.159 --> 01:15:21.880
bad time because he exercised some insider trading benefit when

1342
01:15:21.880 --> 01:15:24.800
you've got elected officials to do that on a daily basis,

1343
01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:26.119
making millions of dollars.

1344
01:15:27.800 --> 01:15:30.920
Absolutely absolutely, Now, of course we have to say you

1345
01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:34.359
can't excuse bad behavior by points with other bad behavior.

1346
01:15:34.399 --> 01:15:37.359
But nonetheless you're correct. I mean It's like Nancy Peloski.

1347
01:15:37.720 --> 01:15:40.960
She's an investment mavin, isn't she She's got the best

1348
01:15:41.000 --> 01:15:43.800
investment judgment in the world. She missed her calling. She

1349
01:15:43.840 --> 01:15:46.439
should have gone from whatever she was doing right into

1350
01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:48.840
Wall Street. That's what she should have done. But this

1351
01:15:49.000 --> 01:15:51.600
is so corrosive to the system for the reason that

1352
01:15:51.640 --> 01:15:55.479
you just articulated, because people start to say everyone is

1353
01:15:55.560 --> 01:15:57.640
doing it, I might as well get my piece of

1354
01:15:57.680 --> 01:15:59.760
the pie. And this is how you descend into third

1355
01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:02.880
world I've been to third world countries. I was in

1356
01:16:02.960 --> 01:16:05.880
India years ago. I had an Indian tell me that

1357
01:16:05.960 --> 01:16:09.399
you don't get anything done without paying bribes. You want

1358
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:12.840
a driver's license, you pay a bribe. In Mexico, this

1359
01:16:13.000 --> 01:16:15.600
was in a documentary. I heard this. You can buy

1360
01:16:15.640 --> 01:16:17.399
your way out of a fatal hit and run for

1361
01:16:17.399 --> 01:16:20.199
four hundred and fifty dollars. I've been to Mexico again.

1362
01:16:20.399 --> 01:16:23.640
Everything is done via bribery. If you want to move

1363
01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:26.680
towards that kind of a system, then yet don't do

1364
01:16:26.760 --> 01:16:30.319
anything about these things and also allow the moral character

1365
01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:34.119
of the people to continue declining, because that's exactly where

1366
01:16:34.159 --> 01:16:36.640
we will be. We like to talk many of us

1367
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:40.079
about American exceptionalism. The only way in which we were

1368
01:16:40.079 --> 01:16:44.079
exceptional that really mattered was virtue wise, and that of

1369
01:16:44.159 --> 01:16:48.279
course spread other types of exceptionalism. And once you lose

1370
01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:51.399
the virtue and the people is the founding fathers emphasized

1371
01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:54.640
over and over and over again, then all else is

1372
01:16:54.680 --> 01:16:56.920
for naught. Stop me if I'm going on too long.

1373
01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:59.399
But as Edmonds now, you're exactly right, because this is

1374
01:16:59.760 --> 01:17:02.840
what put holes in your pockets, this is what gets

1375
01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:05.399
you thirty nine trillion dollars in debt.

1376
01:17:06.560 --> 01:17:10.479
Right right, as Edmund Burke said the Anglo Irish philosopher,

1377
01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:14.159
it is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that

1378
01:17:14.279 --> 01:17:18.279
men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge

1379
01:17:18.359 --> 01:17:21.039
their fetters. And this is what people don't want to

1380
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:23.359
deal with. You know, the problem is us, the man

1381
01:17:23.359 --> 01:17:25.520
in the mirror. We have to improve him.

1382
01:17:25.960 --> 01:17:28.319
Right, about three and a half minutes left, I did

1383
01:17:28.319 --> 01:17:30.600
want to cover one of the items you've been writing

1384
01:17:30.600 --> 01:17:35.640
about recently, redistricting, the redistricting wars. You know, it's kind

1385
01:17:35.640 --> 01:17:39.960
of interesting. You know the Democrats really, you know, thought okay,

1386
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:42.239
we're going to seize this until they got the big

1387
01:17:42.279 --> 01:17:43.880
slap down in Virginia.

1388
01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:47.520
Right right, Well, absolutely. First of all, you have to

1389
01:17:47.560 --> 01:17:50.960
remember we also had the Louisiana v. Khalaid decision where

1390
01:17:51.000 --> 01:17:54.760
the Supreme Court ruled that you cannot create districts purely

1391
01:17:54.800 --> 01:17:57.600
on a racial basis, and this has allowed all these

1392
01:17:57.640 --> 01:18:00.760
Republican states, and the Democrats have been cat walling about

1393
01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:03.920
it to now change their maps so they could eliminate

1394
01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:06.720
certain Democrat seats. Now you might say, well, is that fair.

1395
01:18:06.960 --> 01:18:09.279
This is what the Democrats have been doing for ages.

1396
01:18:09.279 --> 01:18:10.920
And by the way, I want to mention this because

1397
01:18:10.960 --> 01:18:13.680
I did the research. There are studies that have shown

1398
01:18:13.760 --> 01:18:17.319
that if you had no redistricting whatsoever in the way

1399
01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:19.880
we do it, I'm sorry. If you had no jerrymandering,

1400
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:24.399
no jurymandering, Okay, if you just divided districts based on

1401
01:18:24.520 --> 01:18:29.399
population very proportionately, if you didn't consider racial factors or

1402
01:18:29.399 --> 01:18:33.439
anything you shouldn't consider. Guess what, Basically the maps would

1403
01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:36.159
come out the way they are now with the Republicans

1404
01:18:36.199 --> 01:18:39.319
now taking back their seats. Maybe the GOP would have

1405
01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:41.520
a two seat advantage if we did things that way,

1406
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:43.800
so it would be a wash. So the point is

1407
01:18:43.880 --> 01:18:47.000
the Democrats have been doing this all along, and now

1408
01:18:47.039 --> 01:18:50.199
the Republicans can just follow suit. Because remember when they

1409
01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:53.880
had to create these racially jerymandered districts that led to

1410
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:57.520
one hundred and forty four districts, all but twenty three

1411
01:18:57.600 --> 01:19:01.319
of which voted for Democrats. Think about that. That is

1412
01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:04.359
gaming the system. That is, as I put it, affirmative

1413
01:19:04.399 --> 01:19:07.680
action for Democrats. And now it has ended. And that's

1414
01:19:07.720 --> 01:19:10.720
what they're upset about because they know that unless they

1415
01:19:10.720 --> 01:19:14.800
gain the system with jerry mandering, racial jerry mandering, with

1416
01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:18.239
vote fraud, with a lot of other ways of engaging

1417
01:19:18.239 --> 01:19:21.119
in shenanigans, they can't win because they don't have any

1418
01:19:21.199 --> 01:19:23.239
policies to run on. What are they going to say?

1419
01:19:23.399 --> 01:19:25.840
All they have is hating Trump. That's what they've been

1420
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:26.760
hanging their hats on.

1421
01:19:27.399 --> 01:19:29.640
Yeah, that's what you know. Because even during the twenty

1422
01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:35.319
twenty campaign with Kamala Harris's you know, tell me something good, Well,

1423
01:19:35.680 --> 01:19:39.039
tell me something positive that we can say, Thank god

1424
01:19:39.079 --> 01:19:42.760
we had Biden Harris in office for four years on

1425
01:19:42.840 --> 01:19:46.000
behalf of America. I can't come up with one sellman.

1426
01:19:46.039 --> 01:19:49.439
And yes, I mean am I you know, am I

1427
01:19:49.520 --> 01:19:52.520
more conservative in my viewpoint? But even still I want to,

1428
01:19:52.960 --> 01:19:54.479
you know, try to give them the benefit of the

1429
01:19:54.520 --> 01:19:57.600
down and say, help me, help me understand. What did

1430
01:19:57.600 --> 01:19:59.000
you do for the good of the country.

1431
01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:02.439
Well, that's the whole thing. That's one reason why Kamala

1432
01:20:02.479 --> 01:20:05.359
Harris lost. When she was asked on the view is

1433
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:08.359
there anything you would do differently relative to what Joe

1434
01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:11.039
Biden has done? She said, I can't think of anything.

1435
01:20:11.079 --> 01:20:13.640
Now that was probably an honest answer, but they have

1436
01:20:14.039 --> 01:20:17.000
nothing to point to, nothing substantive. Look, I'm old enough

1437
01:20:17.000 --> 01:20:19.960
as or you to remember when Democrats and I didn't

1438
01:20:19.960 --> 01:20:23.760
support them back then either actually ran on some policies

1439
01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:28.199
buttressing the middle class or maybe improving the job situation.

1440
01:20:28.279 --> 01:20:28.840
Who knows.

1441
01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:29.680
Now it's nothing.

1442
01:20:29.720 --> 01:20:32.399
It's just hating Trump all the time. And however you

1443
01:20:32.479 --> 01:20:35.560
feel about him, you have to realize that's not a policy.

1444
01:20:35.800 --> 01:20:37.039
And here I will quote G. K.

1445
01:20:37.239 --> 01:20:37.840
Chesterton.

1446
01:20:38.119 --> 01:20:40.880
He said, the true soldier fights not because he hates

1447
01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:43.359
what is in front of him, but because he loves

1448
01:20:43.399 --> 01:20:46.600
what is behind him. Okay, the Democrats only hate what

1449
01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:49.159
is in front of them. They're not true soldiers, and

1450
01:20:49.199 --> 01:20:52.199
they should not hold office for that reason and for

1451
01:20:52.279 --> 01:20:54.479
one other, and that one other is that they have

1452
01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:57.840
made it crystal clear James Carvel was talking about this recently,

1453
01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:01.600
the Democratic Strategist that if if they regain power the

1454
01:21:01.640 --> 01:21:04.960
White House and Congress, they are going to ensure by

1455
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:07.119
gaming the system that they will never lose it again.

1456
01:21:07.159 --> 01:21:09.319
They're going to pack the Supreme Court, They're going to

1457
01:21:09.399 --> 01:21:13.800
make DC and Puerto Rico states. Okay, you cannot allow

1458
01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:16.880
these people to gain power again because they're not honest brokers.

1459
01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:18.239
They will destroy our system.

1460
01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:19.319

Live dot com. You know food shouldn't hurt, and you

1532
01:25:15.680 --> 01:25:20.039
should know the signs of what we call EOE, one

1533
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:23.159
of the fastest growing digestive diseases in the US, affecting

1534
01:25:23.199 --> 01:25:27.399
and estimated one in seven hundred people get. Many remain undiagnosed.

1535
01:25:27.600 --> 01:25:30.640
When eating becomes painful or difficult. It's often dismissed as

1536
01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:35.640
reflux or allergies, but these symptoms may signal something more serious.

1537
01:25:35.840 --> 01:25:39.279
Here to tell us more about it is, Doctor Evan Delan.

1538
01:25:40.239 --> 01:25:43.680
He can share what EOE is all about, why it's

1539
01:25:43.720 --> 01:25:47.000
often overlooked, and how to recognize the signs. Doctor Dellan,

1540
01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:48.520
welcome to show. Good to have you with us.

1541
01:25:49.399 --> 01:25:51.880
Thanks so much for having me well EOE.

1542
01:25:52.239 --> 01:25:56.399
I attempted to verbalize it myself, but I thought, okay,

1543
01:25:56.680 --> 01:25:59.520
why not crash and burn here, So I'll let you

1544
01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:03.960
explain to our audience EOE exactly what it.

1545
01:26:03.920 --> 01:26:06.159
Is absolutely so.

1546
01:26:06.520 --> 01:26:11.880
EOE stands for snophilic esophagitis, and it's say, a lifelong

1547
01:26:11.920 --> 01:26:15.119
allergic condition of the esophagus. That's the swallowing tube that

1548
01:26:15.159 --> 01:26:19.039
connects the mouth to the stomach. And what happens is

1549
01:26:19.039 --> 01:26:21.760
is a set of allergy cells which happens to include

1550
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:24.479
the enophil It's a kind of white blood cell build

1551
01:26:24.560 --> 01:26:27.319
up abnormally in the esophagus and it causes a lot

1552
01:26:27.359 --> 01:26:31.760
of irritation, swelling, inflammation, and ultimately scar tissue in the

1553
01:26:31.920 --> 01:26:36.439
esophagus that can lead to difficulties swallowing, pain with swallowing,

1554
01:26:36.479 --> 01:26:40.039
and it often disrupts daily life. And as you mentioned,

1555
01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:43.439
it's really one of the fastest growing digestive diseases. We're

1556
01:26:43.439 --> 01:26:45.600
seeing it in one in seven hundred people, so about

1557
01:26:45.600 --> 01:26:48.720
five hundred thousand people in the US now, and so

1558
01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:50.560
it's great to be able to talk with you about

1559
01:26:50.560 --> 01:26:52.039
it and try to raise some awareness.

1560
01:26:52.479 --> 01:26:54.279
Yeah, why has it taken so long for people to

1561
01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:55.000
become aware?

1562
01:26:56.560 --> 01:26:59.239
Well, a lot of times the symptoms can overlap with

1563
01:26:59.319 --> 01:27:04.039
more common conditions like reflux, and patients sometimes don't even

1564
01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:06.760
appreciate that the symptoms should get checked out. Sometimes if

1565
01:27:06.760 --> 01:27:10.399
they're swallowing difficulties, someone might just say, oh, you know,

1566
01:27:10.479 --> 01:27:12.199
I took too big of a bite or I wasn't

1567
01:27:12.199 --> 01:27:15.760
paying attention with eating, and over time that leads them

1568
01:27:15.800 --> 01:27:19.199
to perhaps avoid certain foods that stick, or eat more carefully,

1569
01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:23.079
and that would prevent them from seeing the doctor. They

1570
01:27:23.119 --> 01:27:26.199
may not even realize it's a symptom to report, and

1571
01:27:26.680 --> 01:27:29.560
because of that, it's about four to six years on

1572
01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:33.079
average that people have symptoms before they're ultimately diagnosed.

1573
01:27:34.399 --> 01:27:36.159
And this is of course one of the reasons why

1574
01:27:36.159 --> 01:27:42.840
it's missed often and misdiagnosed. Right, Yes, absolutely, so, the

1575
01:27:42.960 --> 01:27:45.279
key warning signs that people should look for.

1576
01:27:46.560 --> 01:27:49.880
In teenagers and adults, the main symptoms are trouble swallowing,

1577
01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:52.840
and so people would appreciate this as food hanging up,

1578
01:27:53.520 --> 01:27:57.479
maybe a choking sensation, food going down slowly or sticking

1579
01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:01.199
and then sometimes causing pain or fullness the chest with swallowing,

1580
01:28:01.560 --> 01:28:04.039
and the severe symptom is a food impaction where food

1581
01:28:04.079 --> 01:28:07.960
gets stuck so badly that it can't get you can't

1582
01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:09.520
get it up or down, and you need to be

1583
01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:12.319
seen in an emergency room and have an emergency procedure

1584
01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:15.720
to clear that out. And so again, some people may

1585
01:28:15.880 --> 01:28:19.600
discount these symptoms, but they really need to be aware

1586
01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:21.760
of them, and it's a little bit of a different situation.

1587
01:28:21.840 --> 01:28:26.279
In children, they may have symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting,

1588
01:28:26.680 --> 01:28:29.520
difficulty eating or food refusal, or even just being a

1589
01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:32.399
picky eater that may be signs of IOIE. But those

1590
01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:35.479
symptoms are very common in a number of conditions in children,

1591
01:28:35.560 --> 01:28:38.319
so a pediatric g I doc has to help sort

1592
01:28:38.319 --> 01:28:38.880
all that out.

1593
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:43.039
So what you're telling us is this can affect people

1594
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:43.760
of all ages.

1595
01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:48.399
Then, yeah, absolutely all ages, all walks of life can

1596
01:28:48.760 --> 01:28:50.119
have this and do have this.

1597
01:28:51.039 --> 01:28:54.119
Well, we're talking with doctor Evan Dellan. He's a professor

1598
01:28:54.119 --> 01:28:59.279
of medicine and adjunct professor of epidemiology at the University

1599
01:28:59.439 --> 01:29:03.880
of North Carolina School of Medicine in Chapel Hill. Doctor Dellan,

1600
01:29:05.119 --> 01:29:08.640
what should someone do if they think their symptoms may

1601
01:29:08.640 --> 01:29:09.239
be EOE.

1602
01:29:10.680 --> 01:29:13.239
Yeah, the first thing is to go to your provider,

1603
01:29:13.279 --> 01:29:17.520
and going to the primary care provider is perfectly appropriate.

1604
01:29:17.960 --> 01:29:20.800
Recognize that these symptoms are not normal, and they're not

1605
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:23.840
you don't have to cope with them. The idea is

1606
01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:26.680
that if you go and get diagnosed or on the

1607
01:29:26.720 --> 01:29:29.319
early side, we have treatments that help with symptoms and

1608
01:29:29.359 --> 01:29:32.760
can decrease complications in the long run and will make

1609
01:29:32.800 --> 01:29:36.119
you feel better. And so starting with the doctor there

1610
01:29:36.239 --> 01:29:38.960
is the best option. Ultimately, you may get referred or

1611
01:29:39.039 --> 01:29:41.680
likely will get referred to a GI doctor and they

1612
01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:44.600
make the final or the definitive diagnosis for you.

1613
01:29:45.079 --> 01:29:47.439
Well, as doctor Dellan pointed out, you know, difficulty in

1614
01:29:47.479 --> 01:29:51.319
swallowing food, getting stock pain when eating. These are hallmark

1615
01:29:51.399 --> 01:29:55.119
signs of EOE and symptoms that can disrupt daily life,

1616
01:29:55.159 --> 01:29:58.399
create anxiety around meals, and in some cases lead to

1617
01:29:58.399 --> 01:30:01.199
food impaction, reques firing emergency care.

1618
01:30:01.279 --> 01:30:03.840
Right, yeah, yeah, it can be.

1619
01:30:03.880 --> 01:30:06.359
It can be a pretty dramatic event.

1620
01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:10.199
Right And as you pointed out as well, Uh though,

1621
01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:13.319
these you can have a serious impact on parents, on

1622
01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:17.000
patients' lives. We're talking sometimes, you know, four to six

1623
01:30:17.119 --> 01:30:21.319
years for a patient to receive an accurate diagnosis.

1624
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:24.680
Yeah, I hear that commonly. You know, people just say

1625
01:30:24.720 --> 01:30:26.680
I didn't realize it was something that was going on.

1626
01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:29.439
And oftentimes it might be a friend or a family

1627
01:30:29.439 --> 01:30:32.239
member who points out, hey, why are you eating like that?

1628
01:30:32.239 --> 01:30:35.439
That actually the eating behaviors that people have coped with

1629
01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:37.720
over years may not strike them, but they may strike

1630
01:30:37.760 --> 01:30:39.119
a friend or family member.

1631
01:30:39.159 --> 01:30:41.520
Right exactly. So you want to listen to those around

1632
01:30:41.760 --> 01:30:44.760
as we wrap things up here, Doctor Dellan, you know

1633
01:30:45.039 --> 01:30:48.039
the key takeaway here that you want the audience to

1634
01:30:48.079 --> 01:30:49.319
have from our conversation.

1635
01:30:51.359 --> 01:30:54.279
The key thing is, if you're experiencing these symptoms, you know,

1636
01:30:54.319 --> 01:30:57.279
get checked out. It's not normal to have trouble swallowing,

1637
01:30:57.359 --> 01:31:00.840
and oftentimes it's not refluxed. Don't you assume that it's

1638
01:31:01.319 --> 01:31:03.760
reflux or something else that you can you can treat

1639
01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:04.319
on your own.

1640
01:31:05.279 --> 01:31:07.239
And where can the folks go to learn more?

1641
01:31:08.479 --> 01:31:10.840
So, you could check out the website from the American

1642
01:31:10.880 --> 01:31:14.479
Partnership for Asinophilic Disorders. This is app FED. You can

1643
01:31:14.520 --> 01:31:19.039
find them at appfed dot org, ap fed dot org

1644
01:31:19.119 --> 01:31:21.039
forward slash eoed.

1645
01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:24.119
Doctor Dellan, thank you, appreciate the time, take care, be well.

1646
01:31:24.960 --> 01:31:27.159
Thank you so much, and thanks for helping raise awareness

1647
01:31:27.199 --> 01:31:27.840
about EOE.

1648
01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:31.840
Well our thanks once again for doctor Evan Dellan for

1649
01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:35.399
coming on and telling us all about EOE, helping us

1650
01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:40.119
even pronounce a sinophilic esophagitis, one of the fastest growing

1651
01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:43.680
digestive diseases in the US, affecting and estimated one in

1652
01:31:43.840 --> 01:31:47.840
seven hundred people. And just a couple of sidebar tidbits

1653
01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:51.199
as we wrap this segment up, I trust that you

1654
01:31:51.319 --> 01:31:56.560
had an honorable Memorial Day, remembering those that have paid

1655
01:31:56.560 --> 01:31:59.000
the ultimate price. I still I got to tell you

1656
01:31:59.279 --> 01:32:01.880
it still bothers. I mean that some people get confused

1657
01:32:01.880 --> 01:32:05.560
and think that Memorial Day should include all people that served.

1658
01:32:05.600 --> 01:32:05.680
No.

1659
01:32:06.079 --> 01:32:10.760
Memorial Day is reserved only for those that served in

1660
01:32:10.760 --> 01:32:15.279
the military, that gave their lives, that paid the ultimate price.

1661
01:32:15.399 --> 01:32:18.479
Over a million people since our country came into being

1662
01:32:18.720 --> 01:32:20.960
over two hundred and fifty year well just about two

1663
01:32:21.039 --> 01:32:23.800
hundred and fifty years ago. So those are the terms

1664
01:32:23.800 --> 01:32:26.359
that we should look at, how we should understand Memorial

1665
01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:30.840
Day and why it should be protected. Also, Johnny Joey

1666
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:34.039
Jones re enlisted in the Marine Corps M five. When

1667
01:32:34.039 --> 01:32:36.640
we talk semper five, you mean semper five. He did

1668
01:32:36.640 --> 01:32:39.880
it this week. You know, Joey was one the one

1669
01:32:39.880 --> 01:32:43.439
who lost his legs in Afghanistan, which dramatically changed his

1670
01:32:43.479 --> 01:32:46.720
life unfortunately, and his wife ended up getting a divorce.

1671
01:32:46.800 --> 01:32:49.880
But he has re upped. And I'll tell you know,

1672
01:32:49.920 --> 01:32:53.800
interestingly enough, I was just at a rethling ceremony over

1673
01:32:53.880 --> 01:33:00.640
this Memorial weekend and without an exception, every one of

1674
01:33:00.680 --> 01:33:04.520
the military men that were there said that they would

1675
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:07.359
do it again. And if they would let them back

1676
01:33:07.479 --> 01:33:11.520
in the army, without an exception, they would re up

1677
01:33:12.319 --> 01:33:15.720
some left wing, left wing lunacy. To take note of that,

1678
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:20.119
Gary Bauer has pointed out the househo representatives voted last

1679
01:33:20.159 --> 01:33:23.000
week on a common sense bill to protect children and

1680
01:33:23.159 --> 01:33:27.079
parental rights. Now, the legislation requires public elementary and middle

1681
01:33:27.079 --> 01:33:30.960
schools to receive parental consent for a child to socially

1682
01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:34.960
transition in school and use preferred pronouns that lie about

1683
01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:38.079
the child's gender. Now, they should have passed unanimously, right,

1684
01:33:38.319 --> 01:33:41.439
But while every Republican voted for it, three percent of

1685
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:45.479
House Democrats voted against it. Think about it. Ninety three

1686
01:33:45.560 --> 01:33:49.600
percent of House Democrats voted against that. Let that sink in,

1687
01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:54.479
and you want them to regain power and to lead

1688
01:33:54.560 --> 01:34:00.239
our country after this. This is incredible. Also, some sad

1689
01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:03.760
news last week, and we're praying for Tulca Gabbard. The

1690
01:34:03.920 --> 01:34:05.920
media wanted to take and run and try to make

1691
01:34:05.960 --> 01:34:08.439
it look like a bad deal and a stain on

1692
01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:12.279
the Trump administration. But the Director of National Intelligence sadly,

1693
01:34:12.319 --> 01:34:16.720
Tulca Gabbard submitted her resignation to President Trump. She's stepping

1694
01:34:16.720 --> 01:34:19.319
down at the end of June to assist her husband, Abraham,

1695
01:34:19.560 --> 01:34:22.800
who was just diagnosed with an extremely rare form of

1696
01:34:22.840 --> 01:34:27.199
bone cancer. We must keep Tulca Gabbard, Abraham and their

1697
01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:30.239
family in our prayers. Stay with us, slaves and gentlemen.

1698
01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:33.159
We got more coming up right after this.

1699
01:34:33.159 --> 01:34:36.840
This report is sponsored by IBM. As the pace of

1700
01:34:36.920 --> 01:34:41.399
AI accelerates, CEOs are rethinking how their leadership teams operate,

1701
01:34:41.800 --> 01:34:46.039
how decisions are made, and how organizations are structured. IBM's

1702
01:34:46.079 --> 01:34:49.520
annual CEO study shows that adopting new tools is no

1703
01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:54.479
longer enough. Leaders are actively redesigning decision making structures clarifying

1704
01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:58.359
accountability and reshaping the c suite to drive greater business impact.

1705
01:34:59.159 --> 01:35:02.319
The study found that seventy six percent of organizations now

1706
01:35:02.359 --> 01:35:05.359
have a chief AI officer, up from twenty six percent

1707
01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:08.239
a year ago, and nearly two thirds of CEOs say

1708
01:35:08.279 --> 01:35:12.439
they are comfortable using AI to help inform major strategic decisions.

1709
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:15.880
The study also showed that organizations with an AI first

1710
01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:19.399
leadership approach are scaling more AI initiatives than their peers.

1711
01:35:19.760 --> 01:35:22.880
The message is clear, success with AI depends not just

1712
01:35:22.920 --> 01:35:27.359
on technology, but on leadership, governance, and organizations built to adapt.

infamous and one and only Curtis out from MRC Hey,

1774
01:38:38.880 --> 01:38:39.720
mister Curtis, how.

1775
01:38:39.560 --> 01:38:40.039
You doing, Bunny?

1776
01:38:40.079 --> 01:38:41.279
Hey, phili Fitty be with you.

1777
01:38:41.479 --> 01:38:44.119
Hey, Always good to have this time together. And of course, hey,

1778
01:38:44.159 --> 01:38:48.439
we're talking about Stephen Colbert. He's going out his swan

1779
01:38:48.560 --> 01:38:53.479
song and all that. I know for some people. I mean,

1780
01:38:53.520 --> 01:38:56.000
he's had this sentiment about other people, about good riddens,

1781
01:38:56.039 --> 01:38:58.720
and maybe there's some people that feel the same way, right.

1782
01:38:59.399 --> 01:39:07.600
Yeah, I mean this naval gazing, this sort of fulminating crying,

1783
01:39:08.159 --> 01:39:11.640
curling up in the fetal position by the left over

1784
01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:15.920
Stephen Colbert is absolutely ludicrous. I mean, first of all,

1785
01:39:15.960 --> 01:39:20.680
if he's not dying, yeah one number two, if you

1786
01:39:20.800 --> 01:39:25.680
have that much faith, or if your happiness is determined

1787
01:39:25.760 --> 01:39:29.000
on whether or not someone at eleven thirty five on

1788
01:39:29.000 --> 01:39:32.479
one of the four Broadcast Networks five broadcast doworks, if

1789
01:39:32.520 --> 01:39:36.520
you're throwing the CW says mean things about Donald Trump

1790
01:39:36.720 --> 01:39:40.840
on a daily basis, you might want to reevaluate your

1791
01:39:40.840 --> 01:39:42.920
life a little bit. You may want to find some

1792
01:39:43.079 --> 01:39:46.479
hope that he's a meaning in something else.

1793
01:39:48.039 --> 01:39:48.279
You know.

1794
01:39:48.840 --> 01:39:51.520
And the other thing I say too is I mean

1795
01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:54.239
our research shows. And also if you just turn on

1796
01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:57.520
and you listen with eyes and ears that there are

1797
01:39:57.560 --> 01:40:00.520
plenty of other shows that are going to scratch that itch.

1798
01:40:01.279 --> 01:40:05.720
You know, with Colbert going out, there's still Saturday Live,

1799
01:40:05.760 --> 01:40:09.560
There's still Jimmy Kimmel, there is still Sef Myers. There's

1800
01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.920
all kinds of shows out there that still accomplish what

1801
01:40:13.039 --> 01:40:16.760
you're looking to find, which is late night there it

1802
01:40:16.800 --> 01:40:18.439
be for liberals.

1803
01:40:18.760 --> 01:40:19.000
Right.

1804
01:40:19.079 --> 01:40:21.720
Well, it's often said that in a room where you

1805
01:40:21.880 --> 01:40:26.039
have two people saying the same thing, then you find

1806
01:40:26.079 --> 01:40:29.439
that one is redundant and non necessary. And that's your point.

1807
01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:31.920
You know, there's enough out there not to mention the

1808
01:40:31.920 --> 01:40:34.600
fact that, you know, you would hope that in any

1809
01:40:34.680 --> 01:40:37.079
kind of media that there would be some sense of

1810
01:40:37.319 --> 01:40:43.640
virtue and some some benefit by tuning in to Colbert

1811
01:40:43.920 --> 01:40:46.800
or Jimmy Kimmel or some you know, some other show,

1812
01:40:47.079 --> 01:40:50.079
even the view. Right after tuning in, you say, you

1813
01:40:50.079 --> 01:40:53.479
know what, I'm glad I spent I invested some of

1814
01:40:53.479 --> 01:40:56.439
my life into that show because it was so beneficial

1815
01:40:56.960 --> 01:41:00.399
and and of course you know it's in the eye

1816
01:41:00.439 --> 01:41:02.840
of the beholder. I get that, and that's up to you.

1817
01:41:02.880 --> 01:41:04.680
I mean, this is a free country that we live by.

1818
01:41:04.720 --> 01:41:08.319
But I only ask is that the reason that shows

1819
01:41:08.359 --> 01:41:11.319
like this are unsustainable is where's the virtue?

1820
01:41:12.239 --> 01:41:12.479
Yeah?

1821
01:41:12.760 --> 01:41:17.000
Yeah, you know, I'll say too. I mean, you look

1822
01:41:17.039 --> 01:41:20.880
at the numbers that born themselves out. I mean the

1823
01:41:20.920 --> 01:41:24.560
Saturday Night Live study that we put out last week

1824
01:41:25.760 --> 01:41:27.800
or at the beginning of this week, ninety one percent

1825
01:41:27.840 --> 01:41:31.920
of weekend Update political jokes targeting conservatives. I mean, that's

1826
01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:35.880
that's just a two points off of about the normal

1827
01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:40.079
that we've been finding with the regular comedy shows with Kimmel, Colbert, stuff,

1828
01:41:40.119 --> 01:41:43.439
Meyers to be Fallen, all those shows thrown in together

1829
01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:48.319
with political jokes targeting conservatives, right, And it's not you know,

1830
01:41:48.520 --> 01:41:51.640
obviously you want humor, Bill, but also when you turn

1831
01:41:51.720 --> 01:41:56.279
into television or news related programming, you want to be

1832
01:41:56.359 --> 01:41:59.439
able to learn something. You want to find something out

1833
01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:02.159
that you hadn't before. I mean, we like to think

1834
01:42:02.199 --> 01:42:05.359
when we come to NewsBusters, you find the if not

1835
01:42:05.439 --> 01:42:08.479
just the crazy quotes, but you find the data that

1836
01:42:08.520 --> 01:42:13.800
we found here. But with Colbert, it's not he's not

1837
01:42:13.840 --> 01:42:18.199
providing that. With SNL, they're not providing that with Kimmel,

1838
01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:23.119
you're not providing that it is Milania Trump looks like

1839
01:42:23.159 --> 01:42:27.399
an expectant widow. Saturday Night Live this year made a

1840
01:42:27.800 --> 01:42:32.439
joke about President Trump going to the Trump Kennedy Center

1841
01:42:32.479 --> 01:42:34.319
to see it to see the opening night of a

1842
01:42:34.479 --> 01:42:38.520
musical a play, and Michael Jay, one of the Weekend

1843
01:42:38.600 --> 01:42:43.000
Update co hosts, said, to the giggling pleasure of his

1844
01:42:43.119 --> 01:42:48.279
co host Colin jos mister Scarlett Johansson, that you know,

1845
01:42:48.479 --> 01:42:50.760
the last time we, you know, we heard about a

1846
01:42:50.800 --> 01:42:52.960
president going to a theater, it didn't really end up

1847
01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:56.479
well for them, in reference to Lincoln and Ford's theater.

1848
01:42:56.960 --> 01:43:00.319
But it's not to your point, it's not advancing the ball.

1849
01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:05.159
It's not funny. There's you know, we find ourselves often

1850
01:43:05.199 --> 01:43:07.880
saying when we watch these shows, they're supposed to be

1851
01:43:07.880 --> 01:43:08.720
punch light somewhere.

1852
01:43:09.079 --> 01:43:09.279
Yeah.

1853
01:43:09.359 --> 01:43:12.560
Right, Well, and the thing is what happens, like anything

1854
01:43:12.600 --> 01:43:17.279
that's comedic, if you find yourself in a silo and

1855
01:43:17.920 --> 01:43:21.199
the room is small and constricted and those are the

1856
01:43:21.199 --> 01:43:24.680
only people laughing, well then you know, how long is

1857
01:43:24.680 --> 01:43:26.399
that going to last? And again it gets back to

1858
01:43:26.800 --> 01:43:29.760
the value. You know, I grew up with the likes

1859
01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:33.439
of you know, Red Skelton and Jack Benny and you

1860
01:43:33.439 --> 01:43:37.560
know these classic comedians that you know, they never cussed.

1861
01:43:37.640 --> 01:43:40.520
I didn't hear any any swear words out of them,

1862
01:43:40.600 --> 01:43:44.159
Bob Hope. I mean, you know, on and on. But

1863
01:43:44.319 --> 01:43:48.319
today's yeah comedians, it's like their idea. I mean, this

1864
01:43:48.399 --> 01:43:50.319
is the thing that surprised me. I remember one time

1865
01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:55.479
going to a concert of his name was just right

1866
01:43:55.479 --> 01:43:59.199
here on the top of my head. He was very articulate,

1867
01:43:59.239 --> 01:44:02.239
the commander of the Langguage, George Carlin. His command of

1868
01:44:02.239 --> 01:44:06.760
the language was brilliant, but he ended up going down

1869
01:44:06.800 --> 01:44:10.199
the route of a lot of desperate comedians and that

1870
01:44:10.319 --> 01:44:13.439
he you know, he would profusely use the F word.

1871
01:44:13.840 --> 01:44:16.680
And the thing was that was, you know, I wanted

1872
01:44:16.720 --> 01:44:19.279
to stand up and tell the audience say, that is

1873
01:44:19.319 --> 01:44:22.359
not funny. You know. The reason he keeps saying the

1874
01:44:22.399 --> 01:44:25.920
F word is because you laugh, and you know it's

1875
01:44:26.000 --> 01:44:29.399
like what I don't I don't get that, and so

1876
01:44:30.039 --> 01:44:33.479
you know that's but outside of that, you know, Carlin

1877
01:44:33.680 --> 01:44:35.920
was brilliant, Like I said, his command of the language

1878
01:44:35.920 --> 01:44:36.800
was unbelievable.

1879
01:44:37.039 --> 01:44:38.520
Well, I just have to say, I mean, there's a

1880
01:44:38.560 --> 01:44:43.880
reason why people a guy named Nate Bargatzi is doing

1881
01:44:43.920 --> 01:44:47.199
as well as he's doing. Yeah, because it is clean.

1882
01:44:47.319 --> 01:44:50.880
He doesn't curse. It can be a little crude, but

1883
01:44:51.600 --> 01:44:54.239
the language that he uses to get there is not

1884
01:44:55.159 --> 01:44:57.479
necessarily going to get him would get him dinged if

1885
01:44:57.479 --> 01:45:00.720
you were in a movie. The other one is there's

1886
01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:03.760
a reason that Jay Leno, despite his wife's failing health,

1887
01:45:03.920 --> 01:45:06.199
he still goes out occasionally on the road and he

1888
01:45:06.279 --> 01:45:12.000
fills venues. Yes, there's a reason why people like that

1889
01:45:12.039 --> 01:45:14.319
do as well as they do. Now you could also say,

1890
01:45:14.560 --> 01:45:16.319
you know, there's a reason great Gutfeld does as well,

1891
01:45:16.920 --> 01:45:19.680
because he's providing the other end of the spectrum, so

1892
01:45:19.800 --> 01:45:23.600
to speak, you know, which, if that's what you're looking for,

1893
01:45:23.680 --> 01:45:25.720
that's great. If you're worried about kind of us not

1894
01:45:25.800 --> 01:45:30.960
being in the same collective boat silo, then obviously there's

1895
01:45:31.039 --> 01:45:36.760
some implications to that. But he definitely does look for

1896
01:45:36.800 --> 01:45:41.720
the humor. Whereas yes, with Colbert, I mean him simply

1897
01:45:41.800 --> 01:45:44.840
saying on election Day in twenty twenty four, I was

1898
01:45:44.840 --> 01:45:47.960
walking around proudly wearing my I voted sticker. Today I

1899
01:45:48.039 --> 01:45:50.680
wore my I am questioning my fundamental belief in the

1900
01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:54.079
goodness of humanity sticker. This is democracy. This is democracy

1901
01:45:54.119 --> 01:45:57.239
with a capital duh. And in this democracy the majority

1902
01:45:57.319 --> 01:45:59.520
is spoken. And they said that they don't care much

1903
01:45:59.560 --> 01:46:03.079
about that democracy, like where is the punchline in that

1904
01:46:03.199 --> 01:46:07.600
there's no sort of humor and and I just find

1905
01:46:07.600 --> 01:46:10.079
that kind of ridiculous. I mean, in you know, just

1906
01:46:10.159 --> 01:46:13.239
over calendar year ago, he literally said Republicans can eat

1907
01:46:13.359 --> 01:46:17.800
a blank like like what what?

1908
01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:18.239
What is that?

1909
01:46:18.279 --> 01:46:24.039
In reference to so uh devout Catholic Stephen Colbert who

1910
01:46:24.119 --> 01:46:28.600
used a blank holster to describe Donald Trump in relation

1911
01:46:28.680 --> 01:46:32.960
to Vladimir Putin. Uh is held up as this minister

1912
01:46:33.520 --> 01:46:37.720
of comedy, of truth, of decency. This is that's the thing.

1913
01:46:37.760 --> 01:46:37.960
Bill.

1914
01:46:38.119 --> 01:46:43.079
Nothing these people say they view as political right, Whereas

1915
01:46:43.159 --> 01:46:45.439
we understand and we kind of we like to live

1916
01:46:45.479 --> 01:46:47.600
in the world of honesty. We are you know, we've

1917
01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:49.520
come at this from a perspective. We're going to be

1918
01:46:49.600 --> 01:46:52.840
backed up by facts, but we are definitely making political arguments.

1919
01:46:52.920 --> 01:46:56.039
But they the left too often does not do that,

1920
01:46:56.079 --> 01:46:57.600
They don't engage on those terms.

1921
01:46:58.199 --> 01:47:04.199
Well, uh, they've really destroyed the uh, the foundational principles

1922
01:47:04.199 --> 01:47:07.439
of comedy. Yeah, I mean what they think is comedic,

1923
01:47:08.600 --> 01:47:11.680
you know, it's just it's it's just not funny. And

1924
01:47:12.159 --> 01:47:14.680
especially you know, you get the old axio. I mean,

1925
01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:17.720
why do you want to insult your audience? And you know,

1926
01:47:17.960 --> 01:47:20.880
the country pretty much as it's always been, is fairly divided,

1927
01:47:21.399 --> 01:47:25.880
and so you know, here you had others before Colbert,

1928
01:47:26.239 --> 01:47:29.479
you know, the likes of Johnny Carson for example. I

1929
01:47:29.520 --> 01:47:33.119
mean you didn't really even know, you know, specifically his

1930
01:47:33.279 --> 01:47:37.520
political bent. But in today's genre, it's like, you know,

1931
01:47:37.560 --> 01:47:40.800
we got to know everybody's political bent, as if we

1932
01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:43.000
didn't know already. I mean, we already know that so

1933
01:47:43.159 --> 01:47:46.960
much of television and the media is is commandeered by

1934
01:47:47.000 --> 01:47:50.760
the left, and you get these the imbalances like what

1935
01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:53.800
you've been reporting on you know, ninety percent is negative,

1936
01:47:53.880 --> 01:47:57.720
you know about conservatives and Donald Trump, and then you

1937
01:47:57.800 --> 01:48:00.880
get this, you know, you get this tea that's going

1938
01:48:00.920 --> 01:48:04.680
on like an infection, and you think, what a waste

1939
01:48:04.680 --> 01:48:08.560
of humanity and a waste of you know, otherwise intellectual

1940
01:48:09.000 --> 01:48:12.920
potential that is lost over hatred. And they're the ones

1941
01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:14.960
that have been yelling, you know, stop the hate, stop

1942
01:48:15.000 --> 01:48:18.960
the hate, and you go right civility, Yeah right, look

1943
01:48:19.000 --> 01:48:21.720
in the mirror, okay, can you please right?

1944
01:48:21.840 --> 01:48:25.039
Yeah, the thing about it too. A quick point is

1945
01:48:25.279 --> 01:48:28.880
there's so much in comedy to talk about situational humor,

1946
01:48:29.159 --> 01:48:31.920
familial humor, things that go on in your family, things

1947
01:48:31.920 --> 01:48:35.239
that happen in your workplace, annoying things that annoy you

1948
01:48:35.319 --> 01:48:37.800
out on the road. I mean, there are addless things

1949
01:48:37.880 --> 01:48:41.680
that you could create a world of comedy based upon.

1950
01:48:42.199 --> 01:48:47.439
But the Left has decided that to attract a certain rabid,

1951
01:48:47.920 --> 01:48:52.880
loose sky brigade of clowns out there that they believe

1952
01:48:52.920 --> 01:48:56.319
that leaning into a subset of the country that is

1953
01:48:56.520 --> 01:49:02.159
rapidly connected to the place system, that that is going

1954
01:49:02.199 --> 01:49:04.720
to be a moneymaker or at least makes them happy

1955
01:49:05.000 --> 01:49:07.399
as opposed to appealing to everyone else.

1956
01:49:07.800 --> 01:49:09.880
I got to tell you, I'm surprised because this is

1957
01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:13.000
a management issue. I mean, why would you allow your

1958
01:49:13.039 --> 01:49:18.000
talent to focus on really a minority of the audience.

1959
01:49:18.399 --> 01:49:21.399
I mean, it's no wonder than numbers, you know, demonstrate

1960
01:49:21.479 --> 01:49:26.640
clearly the lack of popularity, likes of Jimmy Kimmel or Colbert.

1961
01:49:26.920 --> 01:49:29.520
I mean, the only thing that raby Kimmel was Donald Trump,

1962
01:49:30.000 --> 01:49:33.439
you know, in going after him, and so it gave

1963
01:49:33.520 --> 01:49:36.439
him another life. But I think in the long run,

1964
01:49:36.520 --> 01:49:40.239
I think his days are numbered. You know, I don't see.

1965
01:49:40.600 --> 01:49:43.199
To me, the funniest part of Jimmy Kimmel is Guermo.

1966
01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:45.960
It costs hundreds of millions of dollars a year bill

1967
01:49:46.319 --> 01:49:48.960
for two hundred people on a staff for a show

1968
01:49:49.039 --> 01:49:52.920
that actually is one hour with commercials, so probably forty

1969
01:49:52.960 --> 01:49:56.479
minutes four days a week, right right, Well, I mean

1970
01:49:56.560 --> 01:50:00.720
that is a business model, just doesn't quite sound like

1971
01:50:00.840 --> 01:50:04.520
its smart investment in terms of sustainability.

1972
01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:07.880
Well, where can they go for more information? They want

1973
01:50:07.880 --> 01:50:10.199
to check it out and see the numbers for themselves?

1974
01:50:10.239 --> 01:50:11.479
Where going to go? Yeah?

If you're sixty five or older and Medicare is your

1981
01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:33.439
main source of insurance, pay close attention right now and

1982
01:50:33.520 --> 01:50:36.479
listen for details on how you may save thousands of

1983
01:50:36.520 --> 01:50:39.439
dollars on your healthcare costs. Did you know that Medicare

1984
01:50:39.479 --> 01:50:42.680
